Circles

The Gods/Faery Folk truly work in bizarre and mysterious ways...
I had pretty much given up on my faith about two years ago and since then have been searching for some form footing. Finally, as you know if you read this, I have found it. Or at least I hope I have. When I was lost amongst the worlds and trying to figure out where my soul belonged I also ended up losing contact with some people who were vital to my spirituality. Along with those precious people I also lost all of my pentacles and other Craft related jewelery, finally things are coming back full circle.
I actually believed for the past two years my ex had stolen those necklaces to pawn or to be malicious. Turns out they, like my soul were lost. I ended up finding my pentacles a few weeks ago and I am still amused that they have returned. I don't know how I did not find them in the past two years because this whole time they were in my dresser, but I swear I have been in that drawer dozens of times hunting for clothes, and how do you miss a jewellery box sitting with your socks and under-roos? Its like the faeries took them and decided that now that I am back on my path that I deserve to have them. Finding that jewellery box was a wonderful find and it is such a good feeling to once again wear my pentacles. I feel that my craft items are once again calling to me and the energy is still as alive as always. Finding these items really has helped me figure out that, hey I am a witch and there is nothing wrong with that. I don't need to be draped in black clothing and I don't need to hide behind some "Satanic mask" to protect myself anymore. I am not a Satanist, I am a witch and I am a proud one. Its interesting how things work out like this. Along with this I have also found something more precious, a long lost Pagan friend.
I met Paul years ago, he is the author of the book "Your Enlightened Soul" and he was one of the first "real" witches I have ever met. I met him randomly one day when he gave me a copy of his book and told me to come by his place to see his shop. I went over one afternoon and realized I really got along with this fellow. After countless conversations on the topic of the Occult we realized we were on pretty much the same page. Paul started having rituals at his home and the best thing about him, unlike other Pagans I knew at the time, Paul was not "clique" minded. EVERYONE and I mean everyone, was invited to his rites. He didn't care if you followed this tradition or that tradition or if you were even Pagan he would still open up his home to you. During my time with him he taught me many of the things I still practice to this day, the main one being non-judgemental about the choices my fellow Pagans make. I also met my future Tarot teacher, Ann at one of his famous parties. But Paul being the free spirit that he is, he ended up moving to another city and not telling anyone of his whereabouts. I lost contact and ended up spending a lot more time with Ann.
Well the other day I ended up stumbling upon Paul on Facebook and sent him a message right away, and tomorrow he is coming to visit me! He is back in town and wants to make up for the lost time, which is wonderful. Its going to be so nice to have someone of a like mind to celebrate the seasons and other festivals with. I am hoping that this will cause a ripple effect and other wonderful witches from my past will return as well. I hope to reconnect with Ann and Rowan, my sisters, from a Coven that has disappeared. It would be lovely if we all could reconnect again and celebrate our community together. Who knows what this path will bring my way?
Cheers to lost friends and objects finding their way home.
Blessings to you my readers.
