"Nothing is sweet or easy about community. Community is a fellowship of people who do not hide their joys and sorrows but make them visible to each other in a gesture of hope." - Henri Nouwen

"Commitment, by its nature, frees us from ourselves and, while it stands us in opposition to some, it joins us with others similarly committed. Commitment moves us from the mirror trap of the self absorbed with the self to the freedom of a community of shared values." - Michael Lewis

"I have inherited a belief in community, the promise that a gathering of the spirit can both create and change culture. In the desert, change is nurtured even in stone by wind, by water, through time" - Terry Tempest Williams

COTES is giving all Nature People and pagan friendly people the opportunity to set up informal booths to market your wares at NO COST TO YOU!
Bring your crafts, Reiki or massage to Last Saturday gatherings and set up a blanket, a table, or sell out of your vehicle for FREE.
This opportunity is a means of letting people have their art, crafts, massage, or Reiki skills presented to the Pagan community in the San Antonio area.
We recognize that San Antonio does not have a lot of opportunity for pagans to shop for items in person. Allowing you to bring your items to Last Saturday promotes pagan talent and gives our community an opportunity to shop in person where we can experience the energy in the handiwork.
This informal pagan marketplace is FREE on Last Saturday, Sabbat and Esbat celebrations (Beltaine Festival is the only exception and charges vendors a minimal $15.00 fee, in addition to their ticket, for the 3 day weekend festival to set up a single
booth).
The only limit to sales is during rituals when the sale of items may be a distraction, and therefore prohibited for the duration of
ritual.
COTES does not accept any money generated from the sale of your items on Last Saturday, Sabbats, or Esbats. This is for YOU to make money and for the community to have an opportunity to shop!!!
(Readings are not permitted in the Pagan Marketplace. COTES brings readings into our educational curriculum during Last Saturday events as a supervised skill and learning experience).
Questions? Need more information? Contact Lady Mithriel, cotessite @ gmail.com . Directions are e-mailed upon request in an effort to maintain a safe, private, and peaceful atmosphere for Nature People to gather. Dates for gatherings may be confirmed on the COTES website.
Blessed Be,
