Mabon!

Today we had our Mabon Circle. I think it turned out very awesome! We didn't even mess up anything too bad, and the only thing that did was fixed before we were too messed up! (Just candles in the wrong quarters after moving the altar!) But even though it was a small gathering this time, I feel it was great! Would of been better with a fire going (I'm always cold has it is!) The food was awesome!



We had roasted chicken, coleslaw, bread, salad, green bean casserole, yammers!, wine and apple cider!!! Like a mini-thanksgiving!!!



It even felt like a fall-ish day. It was rainy and cloudy, a little cooler but not too shabby. OH! And I got to wear my new cloak. Its so heavy, but I really like it. I want to get more ritual garb, and try to get others on board with doing so. I don't know why, it makes me feel more official? I don't think that's the right word I'm looking for....um....maybe like.....more in ritual mode???? If that makes any sense.



And I like the idea of a Degree System Bracelet or something like that. It would be nice to have something to show "hey I put all the work into obtaining this knowledge." I feel like everything is getting on track right now. We got a decent amount of donations coming in, we got an awesome place for ritual for at least another year, and we will do our best to get it for 2012 and every year after that.



Its amazing how much the feeling of ritual changes as members change. I really hope these two new members who just joined decided to attend next Sabbat. I posted in the Events on WitchVox.com about our public circles. Terry helped me edit it so they have to join the yahoo group to get more info, like location. And just by having it posted for a few days, I got three new requests. It had almost 100 views last I checked!



Also, I paid for 4 days of ConVocation this year. I am really excited to go. We were going to get a hotel room, but Terry said we can drive each day. So we'll see how it goes when the time gets closer. I wonder what kinds of classes they will have. I wish I could go to all of them and video tape them. I don't want to forget anything!

Anywho, this is getting long, and I need to take care of some paperwork. So talk to you later!
