Hello again! Recently, I’ve been keeping up with my plants in my garden and they are actually doing quite well. I’m intending on using them not only for magic purposes, but also, to construct an outdoor alter so I can practice in the weather. I’m kind of disappointed with my catnip, but I get the feeling that it may come back. All the other herbs and flowers are doing quite well.

I am also growing inside. I can feel it. I’m kind of having a hard time balancing my spiritual existence and my love life, but the Goddess is sympathetic and understanding. In my college, I’m going to see if I can find a Pagan club of some sort, see if I can find some like minded people that are close enough to actually talk to.

I want to see the world understand what we are about. We’re not a cult of primitives that live in a fairy world; we’re intelligent, normal, highly spiritual people. I want to rally some Pagans under a banner and make the public aware of our presence. Not to focus on converting or starting a denomination thing, but just to simply state our presents and our array of beliefs.

I don’t know what to call myself. I’m not Wicca, I do use some of their meditations and philosophies in my magic and meditation, but to say that I’m Wicca is certainly debatable. I think I’m best classified as a druid. I want to meet more Pagans and hold a small seminar at the college around Halloween (For promotional purposes) that’s dedicated to educating our community about our beliefs.

It’s kind of funny… Because I’m marrying into in Christian family, I’m studying a book on the Christian outlook on magic and its arts, and the author did a really good job. It’s a wonderful book actually. Of course, we’re still portrayed as lost and spiritually hungry people, but the author does see through our eyes and at many points in the book, has admiration and empathy with us. What’s important to communicate is that Anyone who isn’t spiritually hungry is spiritually stagnant no matter what religion they choose to practice. It’s called “Wicca’s charm” for those interested.

I want to contact the author and see if we can get some good chats in. I don’t want to debate these things; I just don’t want this war of religions to continue. Religion shouldn’t be like talking to your kids about sex for the first time. It should be factual, civilized, and cordial; not uptight and awkward.

I think everyone could use some peace. I think everyone is tired of fighting. I think the world needs to have a day where all the psychos are gagged and bound and the rest of the world settles down and enjoys nothing but ice cream and beer for a week!

One thing that I am glad about is that it’s been raining here a lot. Missouri’s water table has actually been dwindling, but recently we haven’t had a twenty four hour period without rain. I don’t want it to flood, but it is good to see that The mother is caring for herself, at least here.

Well, I won’t lie, I’m running out of things to say. Have a good weekend everyone!
