Demonstration
I’m going to eliminate demonstration presentations from my Speech course. I was erasing the board after class tonight when a student approached me, asked if I’d approve a ritual for the assignment. “I’ll need to make an altar, bring a knife.”
I turned to face her, “Sorry… no, Moira, that’s not okay.”
She narrowed her eyes, whispered words I barely caught, “within wood…split a stone…find me there.”
I smiled weakly, “Was that a spell?”
She stormed out. I gathered my books and bag and walked quickly to the car. Under my blouse, my jasper cross tingled warm against my skin.
