The fire tenders arrive hours before you and work very hard before, during and after ceremony to give you the best possible experience. Though there can be 2 or 3 firetenders you only need to bring one gift unless you feel lead to gift them all. It can be simple or elaborate as your heart suggests. Perhaps a crystal or stone, a craft or artwork, incense, candle, a yummy snack or it could be traditional like a pouch of tobacco or corn meal. Whatever your heart and imagaination speaks to you. It is your energy exhange and your thank you for their give-away.
