Also bring whatever personal toiletries you require, a writing pad or journal, a pen or pencil, and whatever sacred or ritual objects are important to you. We will have an altar to remind us of our commitment to the Mystery, and you can add your energetic presence to that space by bringing things that are significant to you. Drums, rattles, and musical instruments are also encouraged. Part of Mythic Warrior has always been reclaiming our lost selves and learning and expressing ourselves in ways that are outside of the ego and its habitual domain of talking and reason.

Also, bring a poem, song (live or taped), or reading that expresses where you are now in your life.
