This forum helped me get through college and the early days of my path. I've come by now and again in the intervening years just to say hi, to see familiar names still hanging out and to smile at the liveliness of new posts from people I've never met. I'm so grateful that this community is still here.
I'm ensconced in the northern California Pagan community now, with all its passion and depth and texture and, on more occasion than perhaps we would like, drama. I'm a priestess in an eclectic public-facing coven (that draws heavily on Reclaiming and on Wicca), and part of a couple of networks of Pagans in helping professions or otherwise providing community care in some form. I'm a hospice chaplain, and have also served in a variety of other institutional settings. I have a wonderful family (no kids yet), a garden, and a small library of religion and scifi/fantasy books. I've got some chronic health issues I struggle with, and blessedly, good medical care to support me.
Artemis is my patron, and I am dedicated also to Arianrhod, Hestia, Hekate, and the Matronae. I offer thanks to my goddesses who brought me to this point in my life.
I don't know that I will be around much... I continue to be a cat, and my life is full to brimming. But I was thinking of you all tonight and it made me smile, and I wanted to say hello.
In these times--may you stay safe and healthy. Stay grounded. Stay sane and connected to people you love. Stay rooted in your sense of what is just, and keenly aware of the human dignity of others.
