Moon Stuff
Full Moon - Tuesday, March 10th, 7:38pm PST
Dark Moon - Wednesday, March 25th
New Moon - Thursday, March 26th, 9:06am PST
First let me say that you can check out our Moon Phases page for the calendar for the years Full and New Moons and a section on Moon Facts. We also have listed there a few links to some other sites with more information about the Moon.
March's Full Moon is called the "Seed Moon" among other names. This is the time to start planting for the years crops.
Some seeds can be planted for certain crops a little earlier, depending on the location and weather.
This is also time to again work on the "Spring Cleaning" aspect.
The Sun is getting warmer, the days longer and the Full Moons energies are great to start manfesting, see your needs and desires being fulfilled. Visualize as you work.
Since this months Full Moon is closer to the beginning of the Month you can still work this as for the previous Full Moon, so if you are alittle behind on things its a great time to get caught up.
Prepare things and be ready as Spring arrives.
The Dark Moon again is a time to rest and look within, look deep within yourself, don't be afraid, go for it. Our "within" is a part of us, its a part we usually don't acknowledge or don't want to accept. Its not a bad side of us, is who we are. Is there something you don't like about yourself, then look at it, face it, then decide on how you are going to make that better, how you can improve it, you can do it. Then as you move into the New Moon phase start new.
The New Moon on the 26th, is the first New Moon of Spring!
How refreshing this phase will be. New beginnings, new starts, new everything! If you want it, that is. The new moon is like a hand, you can reach that hand out to grasp what you want, to obtain, but if you don't reach out, well, it's going to be very unlikely what you want will just appear, remember you must reach for it. The same goes for using your mouth, your voice, speak up and ask questions, ask for what you want, if you ask and don't get it, then ask why, ask how you can get what you want, ask how to go about it. Get the picture?
Ostara
This is a wonderful time, the Spring Equinox, a time when day and night are equal. Balance in nature. Take this time to stop for a few minutes and do a meditation, meditate on balance in your life, try to feel the balance of the earth at this time, of nature. Do your meditation outdoors, be in nature, listen to the birds sing, if theres a breeze or wind, listen to the song it sings as it blows through the trees. Look at all the new flowers, plants or grass that is just growing. Take a deep breath, smell everything. If its raining, which it often does during this month, grab your rain gear and take a walk out in the rain. Sit on your porch or under a patio outside and listen to the rain. Feel it. Know that be it rain or shine, this is the time of new birth. Connect. Connect with Nature. Connect with life. There are all new beginnings ahead of you.
Do a meditation focusing on an egg or a bowl of seeds.
Get some bird seed and feed the birds. Take some bread down to the river or a lake and feed the ducks, etc.
Check around and see what Ostara Celebrations are going to be happening and join in one if you can.
Go and celebrate with others.
Feel the breath of life!
As for Ancient Cauldron, we are not hosting an Ostara event but some of our members, past members and students will be attending the annual Ostara event at the Quarry in Penryn on Sunday, the 22nd. If your interested in attending this one contact Mikki at mikkimayo@comcast.net
There are a few other events going on in our community so I'm sure you can do a seach online and find one to attend thats close to you.
Website News
Good news, many pages have now been updated and uploaded to the website, along with several new pages! Theres still lots more being worked on and few bugs we need to work out, but all in all everything is rolling along pretty good now. Just go to the main page and click on the whats new or go to the site map.
Note that we still have our old Harvest Festival pages up, but we are in the process of getting them revised to show the events we have hosted in the past, and the different aspects of those events, authors, entertainers, etc. that graciously donated their free time.
We hope that by revising those pages we will be providing memories for those who attended the events or helped out in some way. It will also be a guide for others who are considering hosting an event by giving them ideas of what type of things to do for a Pagan festival or event.
Okay now I know I'm going to sound like a broken record but when you visit our site be sure to hit the "refresh" button so you get the updated information on each page.
Trip to PantheaCon
What a blast! This years event was held again at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose. The hotel has ten floors, most of which were all booked by Pagans, Witchs, Druids, etc. Some dressed in everyday clothes, others in full regalia, others in whatever costume the felt like wearing. Even with the rain the place was packed with attendee's, vendors, authors, presenters, performers.
As usual there are so programs, presentations and entertainment going on all day and into the late evening or early morning hours.
Okay so who was there from Ancient Cauldron.....well me (Gail) of course, and I met up with Myque on Friday, and that was wonderful, we got to visit, although she was only there for that one day :-( Then Aryel was there for the entire weekend and Angie too. Just a few of us were able to attend this year.
Dana of the "Cauldron of Grace & Knowledge" rode down with me and we spent alot of time rushing from one end of the hotel to the other or going from one floor to another. There was so much to see and do.
As for the different venues,
naturally several of the things we wanted to see were all at the same time so we had some serious decissions to make, what did we go to partake in and what we were going to miss....oh well theres always next year. So at times we all split up and attended something different only to share the information and experiences with each other later. Believe me, if you have never been, you just can't be everywhere and see or do everything, there just isn't enough time, even in the four days of the event!
What I find interesting about this event is that I end up seeing and visitng with many people I know from here in town locally. It seems here at home we never find time to get together yet we do meet up at PantheaCon. This is a great event and I highly recommend that everyone try to attend it at least once. You'll meet people from all over who come just for this event. Not to mention all the great authors they have each year.
Oh and did I mention I actually got to touch several different snakes and even hold one that was 11ft. long!
Coven Keepers Tidbits
Gail, yep thats me, I didn't get done what I wanted to on the website, why? Because I came home from PantheaCon with a cold that turned into asmatic-broncitus, which lasted the entire month and into the beginning of this month. I'm doing better now.
Tracie just finished up Massage school and is getting all the necessary paperwork and stuff done to get her business license.
She already has a nice little place to work out of up in Loomis. She'll be making announcements about it soon and all those of you who would like to get a massage can start booking your dates in.
Myque is still busy with school, but she'll be coming back to visit with us during Spring break. It will be great to spend time with her again.
As for the rest of the group, no news to report on with them.
Although I can assure you they are all busy, busy, busy.
Planetary Info and Moon Stuff
Lunar Eclipse - Monday, Feb. 9th, 6:38am PST
Full Moon - Monday, Feb. 9th, 6:49am PST
New Moon - Tuesday, Feb. 24th, 5:35pm PST
Thr February Full Moon is the 3rd Full Moon of Winter, and is known by many names such as the "Snow Moon", "Storm Moon", "Ice Moon", "Hunger Moon" and others. During the February Moon its time to begin the cleaning, clearing up things, beginning within ourselves. A time for preparing ourselves for the new beginnings and new births to come as the last snows fall and the snow and ice begin the melting that comes with warmer days as Spring approaches.
This is the time to prepare ourselves, our homes and our gardens.
Note that our bodies are our personal garden and it must be tended. Our spouse, partner, children, family, friends etc. are a garden that must be tended. Our career, our hobbies, etc. are our gardens, or you may have an actual garden of flowers, fruit, vegetables etc. Get the picture? We all have many different types of gardens and each one that will need tender, loving care (feeding and watering). So begin with you, your body garden, then when that ones ready, go to the next garden on your list and so on...........nows the time.......
To till the fields, preparing the soil for the first seed to be planted.
Seeds of a healthy body, mind and spirit. Seeds of love. Seeds of success, prosperiety, abundance. Seeds to strenghten our partnerships and friendships. Seeds for new partnerships and friendships. What are your needs, what seeds do you need to plant and how do you need to prepare your soil so its rich and healthy to ensure your needs are fulfilled? Then start tilling.
All Dark Moons are a time to stop and rest, and for the on Feb. Moon you'll need to rest after all that preparing of your soil, so your good and rested as you begin your first planting at the New Moon.
The New Moon on Feb. 24th. is the time to start planting those seeds in the soil you just prepared. As you plant your seeds, whatever they are, whatever they are for, visualize healthy seeds, going in healthy soil producing the needs you so desired. If you need a new job, or home, plant your seeds, etc. Then follow through as necessary to assure the best results.
Imbolc
Imbolc, Feb. 2nd. the time to celebrate the Triple Goddess Brighid. Did you clean you home, your circle and ritual area, your altar? Are you prepared to Honor the Goddess Brighid?
Before calling on Brighid, before you hold your Imbolc ritual you should be sure to do, what some call, "Spring Cleaning". After all you don't want to invite this beautiful Lady into a dusty, cluttered or messy place if indoors. Since the weather is usually still cold or wet, could be raining or snowing, most Imbolc celebrations and rituals are held indoor. If you are fortunate to have nice weather and want to hold your celebration and ritual outside, be sure the yard or area is cleaned up, in Her honor.
May you all have a very beautiful Imbolc.
Going to PantheaCon
Feb. is the time for PantheaCon, a fantastic annual Pagan convention.
Many members of Ancient Cauldron attend each year and this year is no exception. Be sure to check out next months News & Tidbits for an update on how things went.
Website Updates
Delays, delays, delays! Unfortunately Mercury Retorgrade last month really did a number on "communications" and the updates and new pages did not get uploaded as planned.
We're working on them and so far so good, so in this next several weeks we'll have lots of new pages and of course updates on many of the old pages. We'll be announcing changes as we go along. So again, whenever you check into out site, be sure to hit the "refresh" button so you can be assured you get the most updated pages each time.
Our plans are to start adding two or more new pages each month, and additional info on some of our already established pages. Hmmmm, fits right in with this Full and New Moon!
So during March we'll definately being "Springing Forth" with news and information.
Who Cares
We have a new section titled "Pagans Who Care" and its as it clearly states, its about Pagans who care. Pagans who step up and help others, help their communities, not just their Pagan communities but the communities they live in.
Its about Honoring Pagans, all Pagans, local, throughout the stated, across the United States and around the world!
Pagans who either as individuals, covens or even teachers have helped in some way, be it a small way that made a major impact on a person, or a large way that really made an impact on our society, or anywhere in between.
I've posted about this before and yet I didn't get any replies, not one! That makes me very sad, because I know that there are alot of Pagans out there that are doing wonderful and great things. I'll be posting on some but really want you, and you and you, etc. to start sending in names of people you know too!
Send us the name of a Pagan (individual, coven or teacher) you know, that you feel should be honored on our "Pagans Who Care" pages. Be sure to send up a paragraph or two of what they did and let us know if you want your name mentioned as nominating them.
Coven Keepers News
Not a lot of news this month, things have been rather quiet with the Keepers. Of course its that time of year, when we stay inside more and do less, or at least try to. Me (Gail), well I was really impacted with Mercury Retrograde last month! That is really unusual for me too, because normally I do much better during those times. I was born during a Mercury Retrograde, so when it goes retrograde I do extra well, but not this last one, which threw me for a loop! I started feeling the effects a few weeks before it turned retrograde, when my computer died on me. Then the phone problems started, and as it got up to the date when Mercury actually went retrograde everything else electrical started acting up. Phones would ring, no one there, or the calls were all static or broken up, where you could only here bits and pieces. The TV's in what ever room I was in would go on and off by themselves or change stations, light bulbs blew out, one after another. Batteries died when ever I touched them or what they were in, including the batteries in our RV and my jeep!
Use my laptop to try to get some stuff done for the website and no go.....it didn't want to work for me, but hubby would try it and again things went fine for him, I'd try again and no way!
Nothing I touched that was electrical wanted to work, yet when my hubby or anyone else would touch them they worked perfect.
No...this was not anything ghosty that was playing around with me, I know the difference.
More...okay, I got my new computer, it worked perfect for one day, then poof! The main DSL modem went out! Then our regular mail go messed up, well, on and on, one thing after another. I had to check my astrology and numerology to see what else was affecting me. Okay, that made it easier to deal with.
Oh there was lots more but I don't want to go on and bore you.
So I pretty much sat back and did nothing through January.
Next month I'll have more news for ya on the rest of the group!
Magickal Blessings,
Gail

Full Moon
Of the three months of Winter, January is the middle, the darkest, deepest, heaviest time of the year. It’s cold, usually wet and windy. The January Full Moon is called, by many, the "Wolf Moon". During this moon, this dark time of the year, it’s a time to sit back, rest, take it easy, contemplate, think and plan. This is the time to re-group, to look back and see how the past year was for you. What were your plans for the past year, did you reap what sown?
Look back and learn what worked for you and what didn't and adjust things for the coming year. Did you make plans and follow through with the needed energy or did you get lazy and do nothing and thus got nothing. Use your lessons from this past year to help your in this coming year. This month’s full moon is a time to go within, self-searching, planning and setting new goals for yourself.
Remember: A Full Moon’s energies are “full”, when we fulfill, compete, and finalize things before it begins to wane and we release and let go, to then rest and began planning again…..see the pattern, especially for this month in particular?
A Full Moon is only at its peak fullness for approximately 15 seconds! Yes that’s true, although we can feel and experience the “full” energies approximately 72 hours before and after it peeks.
If you wish to do magickal working to build up and peak the energy to fulfill or send out you should work during the hours prior to its “peak” time right up to the peak if possible, and for magickal workings to finalize and let go, get rid of, banish etc. then being your workings just prior to the “peak” time and work right on through the “peak” time and following minutes, hours or day, etc.
Beware that as the moons energy “peaks” for those days it is a time when our emotions can run very high, we tend to eat and drink more and put on more weight, retain, so use common sense.
Mercury Retrograde
Please check out my article on Mercury Retrograde on the web site, you’ll read about the Planet Mercury, what Mercury Retrograde is, how if affects us and how to get through it easily.
For more info: Mercury Retrograde
On that page you’ll also see the Mercury Retrogrades list for 2009, when they begin and when the end.
New Moon
Ah…..New Moon….new beginnings, new starts, a time to get going, growth time, increase, expand, etc.
This is a time period from when the sliver of the moon is first seen, after the dark of the moon, as it begins the waxing cycle up to three days or 72 hours prior to full.
Note that during this phase everything tends to increase. People tend to have a bloated feeling and gain weight more easily.
Check out our Book List pages for some of our suggested books to read on the Moon and its Phases!
2009 – The Year Ahead
2009 is a “master” year, a year of the “Goddess”, female, feminine energies, and nurturing. The spiritual inner, intuitive side of us. This is the year we must all take a really good, long look at ourselves in every aspect of our being, every aspect of our life. We need to slow down and focus on life, our own life. We need to focus on spirituality and what it means to us, and how it can help us in this life at this time.
How do you do this, how do you start? It’s simple, get out some paper and a pen or pencil….then answer the following questions:
What is your own spiritual belief?
Are you really honoring that spiritual belief?
What are you doing, to honor and live your life with this chosen spiritual belief?
What can you do now to being or improve your life this year and on this spiritual belief path?
Actually that’s an easy answer … by simply slowing down and focusing on yourself brings enlightenment and answers to many of your questions, especially about your life and life in general. This all will bring choices, making choices will bring change and change is usually positive and brings growth. Following that pattern we find balance, peace and harmony.
When we obtain balance, peace and harmony we get through our life easier and can help others in a more positive way……see the picture here?
Understanding 2009 through the Tarot and Numerology:
Numerologically … 2009 breaks down to an 11 which is a master number (2+0+0+0=11). This master number also breaks down to a 2 (1+1=2).
In Tarot, the 22 Major Arcana cards deal with major issues in a person life. 22 is another master number and of those we can see another way of understanding a specific year, in this case 2009.
Here is a simple breakdown of 2009 seen through my eyes using the Tarot & Numerology:
Each number 0 through 21 represents one of the Major Arcana cards and looking at those we find the cards which would represent 2009 and they would be:
#2 – The High Priestess – One who sees and knows all. Balance, rhythm, breath, heartbeat & more.
#0 - The Fool – “The individual who is on the journey to find themselves”, this can be a person who is being foolish or way too serious, but must balance both to find themselves.
#0 - The Fool – Showing up again is a double emphasis on the energies here.
#9 - The Hermit – The Loner, Teacher, Guide, Wise One, Seer, Sage, Elder, Etc. He guides with the light of knowledge and experiences.
#11 – As I read it….Justice, the source that judges our deeds. Here we have two #1’s. #1 represents the individual, reasoning thinking and communication. It is also the number of the Magician card which represents the conscious control of energy or power. We must also judge ourselves, we have choices in everything and whether we choose one way or another it is still our choice and we must then be responsible for those choices and consequences, good or bad.
So what does this all have to do with the year 2009?
2009, as I mentioned is a year of the Goddess, a spiritual teacher. The year to focus on our self, not selfishly, but to really focus on our self, to take time to search within, to connect to our “higher self”, balance our energies and connect with the Goddess, female energies, connect with the Goddess within. This is a time for everyone to seek answers, especially regarding spirituality.
You are the “Fool” (the number 0) on the journey to find yourself.
You are the center of the year 2009.
You are both male and female energies on a spiritual level, inside. What you are physically, the outside, is just the shell which your spiritual self uses during this lifetime.
Thus you are the double “Fool” during this year.
As you journey through this year, you will have company….
Slightly before you, on your right, walks the Goddess (the number 2), her energy glowing, shining lighting the way for you to see what is ahead for you.
To your left is the Hermit (the number 9), the “Wise One” your teacher and guide to help you along.
The hidden energy before you is Justice (the master number 11), for as you journey on you know that the choices you make are your own, and that you must accept responsibility for those choices, regardless of the consequences and that Justice will prevail.
The energies or purpose of this year is to obtain balance (the number 2), to connect with the Goddess, the Goddess within.
To help you on this journey through 2009, meditation is the doorway, breathing is the key, prayer is the energy that will turn the key.
A final note, or tid-bit of information:
Another way of understanding how the energies of each year work is that during the 1900 we were all dealing with the energies of God, male, masculine energies, a major dominance of male energies. The #1 represents the male, conscious mind, the individual, reasoning, thinking and communication. Look at how many people have turned to God during those times. Then look back and see that as we got closer and closer to the end of the century, closer to the year 2000, the presence of the Goddess if felt, and is stronger and stronger. Look at how many women have stepped up and are in power positions now in all aspects of life. Female energies are bringing more balance. The “false crown” is being blown off the “Tower” as shown in the Tower card of the Tarot. Women are doing men’s jobs, men are doing women’s jobs, the scales of justice are slowly rocking up and down and will soon be closer to balance and harmony.
Coven Keepers Update
Gail "WinterSky"- Personally, I’m still here in the area, we are making progress in our home repairs, slow but sure. Things are looking good and I can’t wait till the weather gets nice again so I can start painting the outside of the house.
I’m catching up on reading, and those of you that know me know how many books I have, and somehow I keep getting more so the pile to be read is getting hugh!
In between doing house repairs, there is the house cleaning that always needs to be done, yard work, shopping (I like that part) and all the everyday things. In with all that is the family time, and quality time with the grandchildren. They love getting to learn about all the crystals, tarot cards, and elements, etc. Last week was wonderful when I was able to use my crystal spheres to show my grandson about Mother Earth, Father Sun and “Grand MaMoon”. One sphere was citrine, for the sun. One was a white crystal for the moon, and another lapidolite for earth. It worked out so perfect. I’m sure those of you with children or grandchildren know that their attention span can be short. But in this case my grandson was very interested when he told me he had seen the moon when it was “hidden” as he put it, dark from the lunar eclipse. Using the spheres I was able to show him how that happens. He now knows about the phases of the moon and solar and lunar eclipse. He was also still visiting us when I had a few people over for a Tarot class and the class went overtime. He got to look at some of the cards and was able to tell us what the “pictures” meant, he was accurate, not great detail, but basic.
So….speaking of Tarot, Tracie and I went shopping and found a deck called the “Dark Grimiore”. Neither of us purchased the deck, but found ourselves drawn to it. After we went home Tracie went online and found a site that had the deck with several of the pictures displayed and a great review so she emailed me about it. I immediately checked it out and the next day, while out and about, ended up at a different store and there was the deck, so I bought it. It’ very interesting, I really like it, which is rather a surprise since it’s so dark. But the deck is about going within, and having to face our darker side, not evil, just our hidden, or darker self. For those of you that are into the Tarot and would be interested here is the web site to go check it out: View the deck here Read the review here
Our Elder High Priest, AJ is busy as usual with many irons in the fire.
His web site “I am AWitch” is still up and going strong. He has loads of information he has been sharing and welcomes poems, rituals, spells, and other articles of interest. If you have something you would like to share with our Pagan community then check out AJ’s site then.
Interested in the Paranormal? Then check out AJ’s newest web site about Ghosts
Sign up and you can join AJ and others at their monthly meetings and investigations.
Priestess Myque - She is busy, busy, busy, with school, study, work, and study, and yes I already said that. She was able to come visit the past Aug. and she was back again to share a nice Yule dinner with us. We're looking forward to meeting her at PantheaCon next month. Then she'll be back to visit during Spring break. We can't wait till her school is finished she will be moving back here! Yes, yes, yes!
Think she’s been missed?
Marriage Announcement
Congratulations to Caroline Elizabeth Noha & Sherri Renea Wright.
They were joined in marriage on October 20, 2008 at the County Clerk’s office in Sacramento, California. They celebrated their Marriage with Love, with family and friends on Saturday, the 20th of December, the year of our Lady & Lord 2008
They had their Handfasting many years ago and were happy to finally be able to legally wed.
We wish them the best……………….
Congratulations Mrs. And Mrs. Noha-Wright!
High Priestess’ Caroline & Renea are Coven leaders of our eldest daughter coven. Unfortunately Ancient Forest Moon Coven is temporarily closed. Caroline & Ranea have been going through many challenges and changes in their personal lives and so too has their Coven. I am proud of them both, that they have been doing wonderful as High Priestess’ and the respect for their position as such and in their leadership in our Pagan community holds strong. Caroline & Ranea have shown strength, honor and love in having to temporarily close their Coven, for the good of the Coven, until they are again able to devote the time and energy into re-grouping and opening the Coven back up to membership and new seekers.
Caroline & Ranea are in the process of getting new jobs in another state and will be re-locating.
When the timing is right they will continue their Coven in their new location.
In the mean time they continue to walk this sacred path together. They are also keeping their web site which is undergoing renovations at this time. Let us hope they get it back to shining brighter than before, which if you didn’t have the opportunity to visit their web site before, it was beautiful!
As for the members and seekers of Ancient Forest Moon Coven, they are now going through change too. Each of them will be deciding what to do next, of which they have many choices.
Hmmmmm, does that not fit into the energies of this year, 2009? It sure does. Should they choose one of their family Covens, we will welcome them with open arms. Should they choose one of the other many groups or Covens in our community, or choose to stay solitary, we know they will make the right choice for themselves.
Coven Hivings Elder High Priest Aryel Greencraft hived off in October 2008
Aryel started attending Ancient Cauldrons open gatherings and events in 2000, and became a student in 2001. After two years of study and training Aryel stepped up to High Priest when Elder High Priest AJ stepped away due to personal health and family reasons. Aryel remained with us until his hiving in Oct. 2008.

Aryels Coven is currently open to new seekers. Aryel is hosting weekly PNO on Thursday evenings and is holding Full Moon Rituals and classes.
High Priestess Teddy hived off in October 2008.
Teddy connected with Ancient Cauldron when she found our weekly PNO (Pagans Night Out) events way back in the summer of 2000. She jumped right in and began helping with all of our events. Shortly after meeting up with us we found out she was going in for surgery and low and behold the day after she got home she not only attended our 2nd annual “A Gathering of Spirits Harvest Festival” but she jumped right in and started helping where needed. The Goddess surely blessed her and
holds her dearly in her heart, because Teddy was on her feet
the entire day.
Teddy began as a seeker and student the following spring and after two years she became Hand Maiden to for our Coven.
Teddy hived off in Oct, 2008, with three members she now is High Priestess of the “Circle of the Nine Sisters”, in the Fair Oaks area. She is currently working on organizing her Coven and will announce when she is open to new seekers.
High Priestess Teresa hived off in October 2008. Teresa met our Coven at an open Ostara event Ancient Cauldron participated in 2003, and she became a student when our next series of classes started later that Spring. She fulfilled her initial commitment to our Covenant and continued studying with us as often as she could and both attends and helps with our open events.
Teresa is the High Priestess of “The Practical Cauldron” and although she formed this coven several years ago, she kept strong ties with us. She continues as a student to help further her knowledge of both the “craft” and her leadership position.
Teresa formally hived off in Oct. 2008.
Her Coven is located in the N. Highland area and is currently open to new seekers and students.
High Priestess Tracie hived off in October 2008

As a member of Ancient Cauldron for over 5 years she was ready take the next step and become a Coven leader. Tracie hived off in Oct. 2008 and her new Covens name is “Sisters of the Sacred Cauldron”. Tracie jumped right in to her leadership role with ease, it fits her well. She is currently working with two members and is getting her Coven schedule, agenda, classes, study groups, and more organized. She will be considering new seekers later during this year.
“Sisters of the Sacred Cauldron” is located in the Cameron Park area.
Our Website I know I have been promising many new pages of information and updates for our website and that they are coming soon, and still coming…… I have been working on it. This has been a real challenge for me but I love it. I have many new pages of articles and information and made lots of corrections and updates on other pages. In fact I still have lots more to do, but…..I have uploaded what I have thus far. Please check everything out. Let me know if you find anything I need to correct or if any of the links are not working. I’ll do my best to get them taken care of as soon as possible.
Our web mystress. Myque, moved out of the area to attend school and has taken on a full load, a part time job and much more. I don’t know how she manages to do so much, even so she is still our web mystress and I couldn’t manage without her.
Before she moved away, she spent many hours working with me, teaching me all the basics and Goddess bless her for her patience with me because I have made many mistakes, one of which was trying to pull up a page to work on and instead I ended up uploading all the pages, in so doing I had put all the old stuff back on the site :-( after Myque had already updated and added new stuff including a whole batch of new photos…….poof, gone in one strike on the key board……bless her, bless her for her patience with me. Did I learn a lesson, you bet I did. I am very, very cautious with what I do now and that's why it has taken me so long to get the current changes to the site.
Myque has lots of stuff to re-post to the site now, no thanks to me, and will be doing that as she has time. Each time we update the website we will be sending out an announcement as such.
Remember each time you do visit the web site to hit the refresh button so you get all the updates.
Events Currently Ancient Cauldron is not hosting any open events or classes but will announce when they do.
We will announce classes, events etc. that our son and daughter covens offer as they become available.
Meetups
For the past few months now, I have been hosting a Meetup/PNO group weekly and the event is going great.
Its kicked back, comfortable and everyone gets to visit and share on the topic for the evening, although we do tend to drift off topic but regardless everyone has a good time.
The meetups are called:
Gail’s Intuitive Arts Meetup
Weekly Wednesday evenings 7 to 9 pm
1st Friday of each month is our “General Meetup”, no specific topic, just a get together to meet and get to know each other in a open friendly public location, such as a pizza parlor, coffee shop or bookstore, etc.
For more details, topics and locations of the meetups check it out here
You’ll find a list of the up-coming events and scheduled topics of interest.
