All's well in the neighborhood
Sep. 5th, 2005 04:19 pmOne of the continual delights of our coven is that the people in it are so loveable, so honest, so amazing that I'm always happy to have them in our home, even if its a drop in for a few hours. Each of these people has been a gift in my life and I treasure them as family. Every phone conversation ends in "Love you", and its meant whole-heartedly. Since we're roughly 1.5-2 hours from most everyone in the coven, its really special when someone does drop in. Typically, we get overnights, and the Tryst Inn is ready for them, as well.
Definately NOT the experience I've had in more eclectic Wicca groups.
Anna just took off, having worked with my hubby on their upcoming ritual (presenting ritual is a requirement of our Outer Grove students). She brought me the most wonderful nettle tea (yeah, I'm hooked on it now), brought back materials she had borrowed from me (always a plus) and was affectionate to every furry in the house, while keeping up a warm conversation with everyone here. An absolute joy! You can definately feel the little hole she left when she left, but that's being filled up slowly with furry antics and male banter.
Speaking of which, Tom and Josh are at the chainmail sconce-making again for our circle. Me? I'm burning music CDs for friends of pagan music, so I'm out of the way. I'm also working on adding material to our shrine card set for the circle - always a nice thing to offer folks who want to use your circle for a few minutes, etc. So there's no pressure to have to know what you want to say or do, you can look in the box, pull out a 5x7 laminated card and go from there. Prayers, chants, rites, protections, purifications, etc. Good stuff.
I'm SOOOO anal retentive, eh?
