Back for this new post.For me the REALLY cool thing in these early times was the people in our community that i met in these early times. Most important were Steve and Robin Lyons.. In my early time with the Coven i was living on the streets and i lived in Victory Mission when it was on Commercial street. I was caught by the director and expelled for owning Witchcraft books and reading them inside the missions dormitory. i was asked to leave for a week. We would ride together to coven meetings, rituals and other events. Then everyone else that was so vital to what was going on. Amber, Kate, Bill ,Monte. Without them i wouldnt be here today. Amber as a Priestess was inspiring. she connected with ritual energy in ways that were very powerful. there have been several rituals that made my jaws drop.Made me a believer in magick for sure. I miss ritual in her back yard. Sometimes Bill and Amber lead ritual other times Katie and Soj. We had folks like Shea. Billy. Cypriani, Mary Jo. Raven. Eric. Brittney. and so many others.
The community was coming together in Back yards. in Parks. On the Square at hangouts like the Moon City Cafe. The Magic Bean and the Outland.. Various friday nights me, Steve, and Robin would go drink tea and hang out at Moon City. Witchs. the College kids. Vampire the Masquerade kids. all eating and drinking tea at the tables on the sidewalk. Sometimes during the day we would go to Moon city and Steve would read tarot for people. it was around this early time i learned of the covens newsletter THE SPIDER, a look at the coven its members and things that were going on in town. Also stories, poems, and Sheas musings from Moon City. The Spider was given out through many outlets. Myself have MANY of the old issues from my time with the coven.in an upcoming Blog i will post one of my articles.
It was also within the early years that Greenleaf entered the world of Springfield Cable Acess with The Pagan Pagan show. Hosted by Kate and Amber each episode had its own theme such as magick or a Sabbat. or singing and drumming. and often some VERY SILLY skits and other hijinx.Myself had a series i starred in called Worts spiritual journey. It was within these filmings that we had footage of Michael Gammill as Jesus and Robin as a puppydog inside the North Town Mall . So many friends have been on the show. Some that have passed. RIP Jody. Raven and Gene and to those to numerous to name. We would have drummings on the show with folks like Eric Carden. Liz and Jerry. and all the kids and dogs. So cool that we had the opportunity through Kate and Amber to do this
Click the Blue Pagan Pagan show, has footage from the show. And yes as i blog there will be more stories about some really cool things . In the next installment we will talk about Dedication. Initiation.Beltain/Samhain and Heartland Pagan Festival
Till next time BLESSED BE..!!
