Wiccan Whirlpool

Yeah yeah, I know.  But gimme a break, alright?  I’m married and have two kids 5 & 3, I run a small business creating artisan jewelry, I’m 1/3 in charge of a Wiccan tradition, the priestess of a coven, a NODA volunteer, AND a part-time college student.  Sometimes I need to put stuff down for a while!

After a Major Depression this fall that knocked me out of half of the semester I had a medication change, withdrew from one class, and still managed to pull two B’s and an A.  I was a little leery of trying to go full time again, so I’m only taking two classes this semester, which seems to be working out ok.

My coven just passed its two-year anniversary–yay for us!  That’s one of those “forever and no time at all” things like my marriage, which means it’s going great.  The second set of students is about ready to graduate, and several new people are interested in the group.  We’re gaining about 4 stable members a year it looks like, which is a growth rate that makes me very happy.

I successfully petitioned to have my works completed accepted as a Third Circle project, and am now a full-fledged member of the Third Circle of UEW.  My goal is to have my original project completed by May so other people can actually start using it.  My SSC co-priestess might be interested in helping me teach, or at least observing me teach, the next batch of students, and I’d like to have the lesson plans and everything available so she can follow along.  One of UEWs Australian practitioners is considering teaching, and she has previous experience teaching Gardnerian Wicca, so I’m also interested in having her critique, comment, etc what I’ve put together.

The last couple of weeks I’ve gone on a couple of NODA calls, and every other night or so I still have a real bonzer of a dream.  Maybe I’ll get to writing about some of that in a bit, and maybe I won’t.
