Summer Solstice Spell, 2000 (mleiv.com)
Medium: Chalk Size: 3 feet (diameter)

This was sketched freehand on my front porch with only a bit of string for making the circles. Written in Etruscan alphabet: "sunny days-summer rains-prosperity-happiness-health-small things over great-power over our own fate" We conducted a proper summer solstice BBQ atop it at noon (facing south, of course) and then at midnight, we danced semi-clothed around it, singing along to Oingo Boingo's "Water." As far as the magic goes, our house burned down that year, so I would take that as a clear sign that it was UNSUCCESSFUL.
