Dear Phamily,

It is a task that I would rather not have to share that our Phoenix Phamily has lost a very cherishe sister. This morning at 11:00 our dear Dana Cavellero passed quietly into the next steps of her journey towards the One. She left two well-loved cats, who have been placed with close friends, and many of us who love and laugh at her ongoing antics and joy in life.

If you had the honor of knowing Dana, you will remember her silvery hair, her infectious laugh, her amazing intellect, and her Dragons. Through her art, she shared a wonder-filled life of dragons, fairies and other creatures that appeared from tubes of paint on everything from small boxes to canvases to chalices! She painted up until about four weeks ago.

She shared with me that two of the Phoenix Crones had saved her place at Hoggtown Fair this year by being her shoppe watchers, selling more of her work than she ever expected to sell. These two wonderful women where very cherished by Dana. They know who they are, but I don't know if they knew how she felt about them coming forward to help her in a very stressful time. Makes one even more proud to say they are part of the Phoenix Phamily.

An auction to benefit Ken's family is online at www.e-witch.com<http://www.e-witch.com/> with
the banner ""Let's Bring Silverwitch Home".

All proceeds go directly to his wife so please check it out. So far Trish, MR Sellars, Dorothy Morrison, Kristin Madden, Florida Pagan Gathering, Phoenix Festivals, and a couple of Ken's dear friends are donating items. If you'd prefer to donate rather than bid, that would be great too!

The auction is to help fund bringing Ken's body home from Colorado, Ken was self employed for most of his life, and did not have any savings or insurance to cover the costs of getting his body home or funeral expenses. We as a community are coming together to help his family in their time of need.

If you click on stores in the upper menu bar, you will see one called
Let's Bring Silverwitch Home.

Friends,

It is with a soul-torn heart that I bring you this news. I'll get
straight to the point. Last night, Rianna Winchester, the 16 year-old
daughter of Chuck and Lara Lee Winchester was killed in a car accident.
I have attached at the bottom a link to a news article for details. I am
asking that you help me get the word out to the community and that you
send all the love and healing you can to the family of Rianna. She is
also survived by her older sister Larissa and her younger brother Evan.
This is without a doubt a family's worst nightmare and they are living
it.

There will be a candle light vigil tonite at 7:00 PM at Hope United
Methodist church.

The church on Dallas 120 between 92 and Highway 6 there is a website and
directions below. Parking will be a challenge so please carpool if
possible. It is alright if folks want to get there early. If parking
becomes a serious problem, the church will be able to shuttle people
from additional outlying parking on their buses.

There will probably be a viewing tomorrow and services on Sunday.

I will send details as I get them.

For now, if you want something to do, just light a green candle for
Rianna and her family and hold them softly in your thoughts.

with bright blessings and deepest sorrow,

Talyn Songdog

This is but a simple opportunity to share my experiences with the never ending awe of magick.

When I was first introduced to the concept of choosing a magickal name, I was empowered. I thought long and hard about my first name and finally decided upon Silverfox. This name seemed appropriate as my wisdom is well beyond my years, as those who know me and have met me can attest to. At a tender age of 15, I could easily rival the maturity and worldly knowledge of those three times my age.
