This month's Outlander coven meeting is focused on the upcoming season change, and all the ways that prepared magic-users can enjoy it for themselves and others. While the Winter Solstice is happening in another month, this meeting is less focused on holidays and more on the everyday - how can the Outlander coven contribute to Vallo's welfare as we stare down a season of short days and cold weather? Well, Max and Bonnie have some ideas! The first segment of this meeting is weather manipulation - how magic can be utilized to alter or tame the weather. They caution that this shouldn't be done lightly - and indeed should only be done with permission - but in the event that a blizzard needs to be calmed in order to find someone missing (for example), weather manipulation is an available form of magic. A demonstration of this form of magic will be done with Bonnie as the focus and conduit, changing a cloudy day to one filled with sun - at least for an hour.
The second segment of the meeting will be run by Max, who is seeking groups of volunteers for various cold weather jobs around Vallo. He'll be taking people who can 1) check and maintain the warming charms around livestock and outdoor animal pens, 2) cast protection charms on vegetables growing outdoors, and 3) cast emergency lights around Vallo in the event that there is a monster attack during one of the long winter nights. Max will be assisting with the warming charms for the livestock.
After this meeting, as always, there is time to socialize and enjoy some warm treats, and of course ask any questions you might want. Also note that non-Outlander magic-users are welcome to attend if they so wish.
