Arrival

Extensteine was nice but short. We packed the tents early morning, just before it started to rain, Donna left for home and I deceided to drive through in one go to the area where the workshop is.

The day before we had a very nice family meet at this magickal place. When I arrived, Donna and the kids had just participated in a water ritual which was led by 4 wise old Native American women or as Donna called them indianen oma's. They where aparently invited by German neo pagans and did a reportedly great ritual with many drummers etc. Donna was the only one with a baby and was filmed. I might post some footage when we hear more about it.

Today I drove straight to Pasewalk, where I am sitting in the local internet cafee writing this blog entry.

This area of Germany is a real discovery for me. Lots of woods, small hills and a lot of lakes. It reminds me of Denmark (where I lived for 7 years) but with a lot more wood.

It is clear that the big ice was here and carved out these hills, which makes it an interesting area to go hunt for stones. After the workshop I will definitely stay a few days and do so.

Pasewalk is an interesting place. Many inhabitants look like Danes, but the town has that definite ex-commy look that I know from Czech Republic. It makes me feel at home in a strange sort of way, probably because I lived in both places for a longer time.

I have seen several churches, visited one and bought an african rattle and bio cacoa. Now I'll retire to some nice place in the woods around here, make a little fire and relax. I probably won't have to put up my tent, the sky is clearing up. Tomorrow hopefully some pictures, at the Schloss I'll have wifi and can upload. At this cafe that's not possible.
