trystinnMarch 10th the Wind & Tide will be hosting a tarot reader named Brighid Rowan from 1-5 pm. I've read her pamphlet (a joy onto itself, I assure you) and it mentions she's an initiate of the Chalice Well Tradition. Oddly enough, there's a group by that name from the Berkshires where I studied with the Dianics and I'm wondering if its the same group. The store "Woman of Wands" was owned by their "British Tradition" trained Witch Queen.
But back to our gal -
From her pamphlet:
"I am a High Priestess in the Chalice Well Tradition...My life is dedicated to the Goddess and to serving the community. I am currently studying Shakti Wicca. Shakti Wicca is a tradition of Wicca that draws most of its spiritual inspiration from the Hindu tradition. Bhakti, or loving devotion, is the main form of worship. I will be offering teaching in this tradition in the future."
Now, my first snarky reaction to the last part there is "lucky us", but more interestingly, to the first part "serving the community" my perplexed reaction is "if that's so, where've you been?" I've never seen or heard about this woman on the Island, and as far as I'm aware, I've got the only PNO around. There's a group down south that does incredibly eclectic pagan sabbats that I no longer attend, so possibly she's involved with them. Will ask around soonest.
Justine - Shakti Wicca, any comments? Also, interested in doing a henna session here?

Date: 2006-03-04 07:53 am (UTC)We had this loser around who practiced "Weasel Wicca". Which is to say, he tried to do stuff that would gain stuff for him (umm... like drugs and sex. He really was a loser) and my ever-so-helpful friends would find ways for him to fund random parties for "religous" reasons. He was a thief, a lier, a whiner and annoying - so no one thought twice about this. (he would NEVER be invited to a real celebration - noone trusted him with anything. Actually none of the group even wanted him around but he just kept coming by)
flip side, out of all the "mainstream" religions, the closest ones to Wicca are Hinduism and Shinto... from what I've studied. And of the two I'm far more familiar with the latter.... which isn't saying anything.
