It is January 22, 20222. in the Middle of a RAGING pandemic. And i started to think about my spiritual life i have now, and where that came from. it spans back over 30 years now . And i gotta say the way this all started for me was the most awesome thing i ever encountered. Im going to recount some things for you so you can see the ways people can have an influence on you. This is my first encounter with Green Leaf coven
In the late 80s, early 90s i befriended my best friend in life Steve Lyons, an ex Satanist who found Wicca and Witchcraft in Springfield mussouri was involved with Greenleaf. Myself and my other best friend William Chewie Turner were invited to a Samhain ritual at Busiek State Park by a Stripper friend of ours.So we attended , we sat in the parking lot on the hood of the car, as the Coven sang and Danced around the fire , Thats the way i like it by Kc and the Sunshine band. some wore Robes . the Priestess Amber her High Priest Shamash and daughter Kate were in circle to.
After the ritual Steve and his girlfriend Robin came up and talked to us , then invited us to come down to the campfire
We sat and talked with Amber and others for awhile before Amber and Shamash were headed back to Springfield. at this time Kate walked up in jeans jean jacket written all over and boots. long reddish gold hair wearing round sunglasses looking like Janis joplin. She came and hung out and talked as i asked some qoestions about Wicca and i was like this isnt bad its not Satanic . Kate invited me to come to a drumming at Ambers house a week later, and thats where things started to REALLY happen in bringing me to where i am today..
This blog will be an ongoing series about how Greenleaf has helped shape Pagan Springfield. We are gonna look at the COOLEST people from our comunity. There will be some great storys. no baggin on anyone , just a way to show that our Community matters . Springfield is growing in pagan population. and we will learn about good times, good people , and MAGICK.!!
Be Safe my friends-Blessed Be
