And while we have your attention... We made the papers
Intimate Fire held a solstice ritual on Thursday evening (Dec 21, 2006) at Moonflower Magick
We had about 11 people from the local community join us as well as a reporter from the Everett Herald.
The reporter wrote a nice piece on Solstice and Intimate Fire..and Moonflower in Friday's paper.
The original article is also posted to their online site at:

It's a good article with only a few small corrections that I sent in...

Note: I gave her the OTO press package. I'm not sure where the Knights templar reference came up. I didn't give her that.
