Learning to be a Solitary Witch, Again!
I had not had my year and a day before I started a coven, a coven full of strangers. From this coven I also learned I am alot smarter than I thought, that some people are just in a coven for appearances, just because someone caries the title of High Priest or preistess does not mean they know what they are talking about, I can't count how many times myself and the others had to take over ritual otherwise we all would sit around staring at each other.
I also learned that good can come out of such a lesson, a couple really great friends. Together with these new friends I started a coven of only women ~Sister Witches~ but that soon fell to pieces between bickering and one witch not taking anything seriously and a dear friend and witch moving away we just could not keep it together.
Later through the friend who moved away I meant another women who was more of a spiritualist but also into witchcraft, and through her another and then an original witch from the first coven and we starting practicing together. But there is politics in covens as well, soon none of us were speaking and feeling betrayed and let down, I just closed myself away from my beliefs for nearly a year until finally I realized how stupid I was beeing, a co-dependant witch?
Okay so now I have figured out how to be a solitary witch, how to hold myself up and be proud of who I am and what I believe, I talk to the goddess all the time and I can feel her deep in my soul, I know she is listening.
The more I practice alone the more I like it, no arguing over spells or rituals or balancing everones schedules. I do a spell or ritual with my daughter on occasion but to her I am the teacher and she seems to enjoy being taught the old ways.
I am still friends with the one who moved away and one other witch who I have become very close to, we have had arguments like sisters do but we always seem to work through it.
I often wonder if the chance came up to join another coven, would I do it? I think perhaps a couple trial meetings is a good idea and never be afraid to speak up if you feel you are not getting anything from a coven and of course, QUIT if you feel uncomfortable...
Let the wind carry your wise ways,
your forgotten rituals
they are in the dust
burried with countless civilizations
they are in the ocens
the salt that licks our wounds
they are in the fire
that warms us through and through
they are in the caves
that hold our ancestors bones.
It is on the wind
can you not hear her whisper sweetly to you?
It is the last truth to all women
it is the lost truth of all men.
It comes from within and without
it stays and replays again and again
this message of truth
this message of love
Goddess, sing me home.
