To Answer a Question
I was recently asked why my recent Witchvox article did not discuss any of the currently living Leaders and Elders? Actually, I’ve been asked this a few times. So before I head out to the pasture to check on the new fillies (pics coming soon) I thought I’d toss an answer out there.
There are a couple of reasons why (in no particular order)
1) I was playing devils advocate and responding to the attitude and growing complaint (especially amongst younger newbies) that there are NO “good” elders out there. And thus, I was responding as if there really are no good elders anymore.

Paganism is growing like one of my hometowns.
Kelowna is a beautiful mountain town on a big lake (complete with lake monster) that grew up really, really fast, as did the surrounding areas.

We are screwing ourselves, and our children, over.

The armchair pagans on today will be congregations of tomorrow.
The hard workers, the elders, the clann-makers will be the clergy.
We need to face this.

Busy busy busy
I am a busy little bee! I have been doing many more runs int o the city these last couple of weeks than I thought I’d be. My poor old pickup truck isn’t cut out for this.
Everything from fencing to dog food to a new filly. Yay the new farm is cleared of snow enough to start moving our animals in.
Will post pics and catch up with you all soon!
Cheers!
