She Changes Everything She Touches...

Hecate has set me off on a new road and opened up the space for other women to steer the circle...there will be guest facilitators now working with Tara so it will be refreshing to sample tastes of what our community of women has to offer. Thankyou to those women who have committed to helping the circle continue, Tara had a vision of creating women's community, which has flourished for some of us women who come along (no easy task in our segregrated world) and she is passionate about this circle growing. Growth always follows death which is never easy to assimilate but I think Tara and I are ready for the new cycle to find its rhythm, I hope to still throw ideas into the pot and have been researching the dynamics of womens/community groups for some time now-and rotating leadership is a common theme, whoever has the energy that will benefit the group will come forth to carry it into the future, which we have experienced when Cassandra stepped in whilst I was birthing my baby, this was a time that redefined roles and ideas about the group and shared the load.

As for me, I am taking care of my wild family and working at NatureCare College assisting Alexandra Pope with Women, Power and the Body this Saturday we are conducting a revisiting of the maiden in a menarche ceremony-will be great to initiate women into womanhood if they missed this important rite of passage earlier in life.
Also my artwork is available for viewing at www.myspace.com/maskera some of you circlegoers will recognize our Cauldron with the triple-faced Hecate...I hope there will be more Goddess-inspired art there real soon.

If you were at the last circle or heard about it, don't be alarmed by the power of the talking stick sometimes the underground rises up and needs to be examined( we did invoke the sea witch after all). If you need a concession to enable you to join the circle feel free to ask at the desk or when you book, the circle is open to all women in the community and beyond.

Tara has asked me to look after this blog(is there anyone out there reading?) I wonder if anyone who goes along would like to post occasionally as i won't be at every circle due to family commitments and it would be great to hear about the night as it happens???

I believe some of the circle got together on saturday to continue painting the songflags started at Minmia's retreat this would have been an interesting deepening of the animal journey we undertook last circle and a chance to have a smaller circle...it is hard to get together in between the monthly meeting as women we all seem to have overfull lives juggling many responsibilities so if you need to leave a comment or question here this can be your virtual circle-it might be a good place to help process anything that comes up.

Finally I hope to be welcomed back as a participant in the near future and I put out the call to circle goers of the past to rejoin the circle as it may just change your world again....
