Whoops! Just lost my entire post while uploading photos, so let's try this again.

Cut off all my hair three weeks ago, sold my car a few days later, bought a bike and a friend gave me a helmet. Three days past a meeting with some shaman friends, we worked on fears and how to move past our own barriers to realize our fullest potential. Sitting, drumming, encouraging, witnessing anothers' process honors us all, the power of those womyn still amazes and transforms me... we burned much copal that evening.

Went to a witchy retreat in the woods, attended a Depossession training with Betsy Bergstrom, then went away to my favorite pagan festival. Rituals, sang & drummed everyday. To gather in community with a thousand other like minded folk in circle fills me up. It is the high point of my year. So this year, instead of doing medical, I signed up for kitchen duty to make breakfast for a few hundred witches in the woods. Got up at 5 am, watching the beautiful dawn, gave herbal offerings and said some prayers at the lakeside and thanked the spirits.

And you WILL BELIEVE WHAT I FELT! Take a look, the spirit world is real and is alive all around us. I capture orbs often on my digital camera... should see the pics of my new place, every room practically has these shining orbs.  Needless to say, it's good energy...
