After I finished my Book of Wizard Craft, I thought Id take a nice long vacation. Id already spent 600 years working on that last book, for goodness sake! Ever since I was a young wizard, Ive kept notes on how to make useful things for wizard work. I also wrote down many of the stories wizards tell each other late at night. I shared some of my own adventures, too.
But it wasnt easy to fit 600 years into only one book. I had several dozen more chests of notes, drawings, and keepsakes hidden in a secret cave guarded by dragons. But when I told my editor about them, she threw up her hands and said wed just have to do a second book. So here it is!
This new book of mine is all about wizard parties, how young wizards can have fun together and celebrate special times. My best memories are the times I spent with my friends at their castles or mine, playing games and making magic. Like the time I sent 500 mice to sing for Merlin at his 500th birthday party at King Arthurs court. Or the holiday party when my dragon friends blasted Welcome! in green and red smoke over my front door.
This book tells how to make everything you need for special theme parties and for parties for each season (spring, summer, fall, and winter). I include instructions for decorations, special partywear, party favors, crafts, games, and stories you can read aloud. Mix potions for an Alchemists Gathering. Make a Throne of the Realm for Merlins Birthday Party. Build a Merry Maypole for a Welcome Springtime Fairy Frolic. You can even make it snow inside for a Wizards Winter Revels!
Follow the directions in my chapter on Basic Wizards Gear() to make easy party robes, hats, and other items. Or make special party clothes, including a Chinese Wizards Robe. Make Fairy Wands and Wings, or a Crystal Crown (just like Glinda the Good Witch wore when I met her in the Land of Oz long ago).
Its very wizardly to make things with your own hands! You and your party guests will have fun making easy craft projects they can take home later. Or make some party favors ahead of time. Learn to play my favorite party games, too. How about Dragon Wrestling, Cabbage Bowling, Tea Leaf Reading, or Egyptian Dice?
My directions for each party include special food and drink recipes such as Mandrake Cupcakes and Lavender Lemonade. Some of them I invented myself, and some I got from other wizards. The trooping fairies (who spend all their time feasting outdoors) gave me tips, too. Ive updated the recipes for modern cooks, because most of us just dont have time to roast a whole ox these days.
Youll also find a special story for every party in this book. You (or a friendly adult wizard) can read it aloud to your guests. If you have a Spirited Druid Halloween Gathering, I dare you to turn out the lights and read the tale of the Beheading Ball. Or hear Merlins story about what really happened to King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone. I share legends and stories from my own past too, including tales about famous alchemists and dragons.
Use this book however you wish! Follow my directions to give the party of your choice. Or mix and match different activities to invent a party of your own. Several of my witch friends told me theyre giving a Good Witch and Goddess Party. Theyre making the Goddess of Beauty tunics found on . I was glad to hear that.
I also include guides on how to pronounce some wizardly words and names (in case you havent learned them yet). One caution: If you see the snake symbol next to a how-to project , YOU MUST FIND AN ADULT WIZARD OR NONWIZARD TO HELP YOU . I mean it, Im serious! If you ignore me, Ill turn you into a Giant Slug and youll be late for everything, including dinner.
Now for my best party secrets...
If you want to be a well-mannered wizard, pay attention. When you give a party, invite guests at least two or three weeks before the event. That way, your friends can get their wizard robes ready and look forward to your party. You can invite people by telephone or email, but I think its much nicer to send written invitations in the mail. (See the next page for how to make party invitations.) Then you can call anyone who didnt understand the RSVP on your invitation (more below on that subject).
If youre invited to a party, telephone or email the host or hostess right away to tell them if you can come. (Thats why youll see the letters, RSVP on an invitation. They stand for rpondez sil vous plat which is French for please respond). Dont depend on your host being able to read your mind. His skills as a wizard may not be that strong yet. And dont ever just show up the day of the party without letting your host know youre attending. Your host needs to know how many people are coming. That way, his kitchen dragon will know how many cookies to roast.
What happens if youre invited to a party given by someone you dont know well? Or youre not sure you like that person? I encourage you to say Yes to the invitation. Go and see what happens. Maybe youll make some new friends!
On the other hand, what if you hear about a party you werent invited to? My advice is to start making plans to give your own party. Dont wait for other people to make funstart making your own! Youll be surprised by how many friends you attract. Make the first move to have people over to your cavern or castle. Youll be on their guest lists in the future. Be patient. I once invited Sir OBlihveehuss to a party. He was a grand Irish wizard, and I didnt know him well. He seemed to have a good time, but he didnt ask me to his castleuntil 200 years had passed! It turned out he only gave parties every couple of centuries. His housekeeping elf didnt have to dust much that way.
