WOW...I feel completely...lost ...
So many things seem to be flowing towards me all at once.
Over the weekend I've been invited to join a local Coven and I've also been asked to join a eBay group called the Society of Halloween Artists.
Now these many not seem like big things to you but to me...well I'm just overwhelmed.
Two things that are very imporant to me my artwork and my spirituality.
Now the ebay group I'm just in awe that someone would like my work enough to invite me to such a group. I'm hoping that it will open new windows for my art. That I'll get to meet different creative artists and that it will increase my sells. Also, hope to inspire and be inspired by new people.
As for the coven...well I'm both excited and nerves. This came to me through a friend. For a long time I've been wanting to find people to learn from. Learning on my own is slow and hard. I don't know what to do.
On one hand...I really want to join a coven. I want to learn and to grow. I feel like I've came to a standstill. Books can only do so much and books are all that I've ever had. I've been studing since I was 15 and feel like I've practically gotten no where. I know what I believe and now that I'm devoted to Paganism. But I'm at a standstill in learning. I want to take the next step . Being in a group would help get me to where I feel I need to be.
On the other hand...I don't know this person. Seems odd to me that she is opening herself up far enough to send word to complete stranger that she is wanting to get a coven together. I don't know what she is planning on teaching. I like having my own ways. I don't want someone telling me what I can and cannot believe in. I'm open to learning but at the same time worry about how much freedom a coven would give me. I guess the only way to really find out is to talk to this woman, and find out exactly what she has in mind.
I also have a problem with that in the since that I'm not good with meeting and talking with new people. I always feel like I'm coming off as sounding stupid. I spend most of my days alone at home with animals.
I'm so much better with animals than I am with people.
So I don't know. Guess I'll just have to see what happens.
