I can build a fire hot enough to stay the rain...

Yes. I believe you could.

Are there any laws about bringing white phosphorus to the beach?

The weather forecast says if it does rain it'll be Thursday night into early Saturday morning.
So the bonfire is still on.

However, I must make a recommendation:

after a low pressure system passes through it gets breezy and VERY cold. So I recommend everyone bring some warm clothes for the evening. The nighttime temps after a storm passes through are usually in the upper 40's to low 50 (in SoCal anyway).

Sadly, I'm out. I'm helping a friend move this weekend. Hope you all have a good time, come rain or sunshine.

Bring some desert sunshine, too ... please.

Ooooh! That day will also mark Mabon (Autumn Equinox). I so need to look up some stuff to do in honor that night.

Oh, and iSm, I'd love to hear about your "casting sins to the sea" tradition.

Jewish tradition from the east coastal lands. I guess it has something to do with getting a fresh start, which the guilt-ridden jews did by symbolically casting away their sins.

My more modern take is to cast away pretty much anything in your life or your self that you don't want anymore, or that you'd like to change. Wade out into the ocean with some bread, and meditate on the stuff you'd like to cast away. Tear a piece of bread for each one, and throw it into the ocean as far as you can. Rinse, repeat.

It's sort of the companion to Kevy's Sequioa campfire tradition of casting that which you wish to attract into the fires. This one is casting that which you wish to reject into the waters.

Oh, but speaking of Kevy and traditions: Please keep him in the dark about it being the Autumn Equinox. We don't need to see that particular Wiccan's dark parts again!!
