What an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and validation! I've been practicing Wicca for 6 years and I'm amazed about how incredible attaining a degree feels. I used to be one of those solitaries that didn't see the need for degrees. That changed when I realized that if I plan to become a Wiccan writer someday, I will probably need to attain my degrees. The second I received the e-mail saying the my final had been graded and I passed, a flood of energy and joy filled me. I was truly near tears with happiness. My priesthood status doesn't become official until I receive the certificate and do the initiation ritual, but I have reached it. The next milestone is my 2nd degree, which will take a year and a day to complete. I'm hoping to attain my 3rd degree and be initiated as a High Priest on my birthday (June 27th) in 2004.
To heighten the momentus occassion of my attainment of the 1st degree, I was able to celebrate with a minor Solar Eclipse. It was actually quite funny. Chris and I stepped out on the balcony and instantly I noticed the light was different. I had no idea that an eclipse was happening. I said to Chris, "The light is dimmer than usual. Are we having an eclipse?" He smiled at me and said that we were and was surprised that I didn't know about it. I was surprised that I was able to notice the subtle change in the sunlight, whereas most people wouldn't have paid attention.
I talked to L yesterday and everything is still going well with her and B. They haven't officially re-coupled, but I'm sensing that it's coming soon. In fact, I think I had a dream last night about it. I, however, won't tell her about the dream. I don't normally dream about people I know, so when I do, it normally means something.
Well that's about it for now. Thanks for reading about my life. I appreciate your attention, even if I don't know who half of you are. LOL! Much love to you!
