Clothing/Adornment

• Bring clothes that express and empower who you are and how you intend to be in this artful space! Adorn yourself in a special way that expresses your inspiration and vision or powerfully evokes the qualities you wish to work with in the ceremonies. You can also change your appearance during the night, experimenting with different possibilities. People will be working with facepaint, masks and other kinds of transformational enhancements. Embody your vision!
• Fire Circle clothes – fun and festive, expressive, masks and costuming all encouraged! Something you can wear at special times and during special moments.
  Alchemical Fire Circles customarily do Black, White and Red for the three nights, respectively. These colors represent phases in the alchemical process of transmutation.
  Another sequence to embody might be: Cascadia and Water – green, blue and earthy; Fire Family – red and gold; Child and/or The Fool – innocence, discovery, emergence, playful joy.
