trystinnQuite a few of these posts have been private, due to the fact that:
a) some folks on my Friends list are non-BTW
b) some folks on my Friends list probably think the BTW are elitists
c) the rest either are mildly curious -or-
d) don't care
So go ahead and scroll to another friend's journal if you're anything other than interested.
I spent much of last night putting the finishing touches on my robes and going over that long list, again. I've a few misc. odds and ends I need to head out later and get, but at this point, most everything is done. I'll get everything together and put it in a small suitcase later this afternoon to double-check I've gotten everything. That way, my little anal-retentive self doesn't stay up all night worrying about forgetting something.
My HP called last night to make sure we were 'on' for Saturday and to see how I'm doing. He also wanted to know what questions I have and the odd thing is, I haven't any that can be answered pre-Initiation, so I'm oddly speechless. His calling was so thoughtful, I'm really touched that he thought to check in and see if I had any questions. I was somewhat surprised to find out the Initiation ritual is scheduled for four hours! Its an hour a piece, for each of us, then a big meet and greet BTW only celebration afterwards. I'm also tickled pink they used the traditional full moon incense I made them last month for their full moon this month.
I'm heading into my retreat beginning at sundown, so I may not be as active on LJ with responses, as usual.

Date: 2005-07-29 12:49 am (UTC)Four hours total: one hour within the ritual for each Initiation, the other two hours doing whatever it is the BTW do in ritual.
As to that, I have no idea and when I do, I won't be able to tell anyone!
