Yesterday & Today.
1. I've been completing some research that I began at the University back in the Summer of 2003. Quite happily, this involved attending a Beltane celebration last night (more on that later). My research involves a Wiccan community living in the suburbs here in the Southeast, and their attempt to gain the tolerance and acceptance of the larger neighborhood. To make matters more interesting still, this large, successful Wiccan Covenstead sits right next to a Baptist Church, from the steps of which the ritual space and altar are quite visible. I'll post an early version of the article that this research has generated asap. I should have the research complete by the end of the day, and the final version of the article out for publication by the end of May, at the very latest. Yayyyy! Four years of work are bearing completion!

2. We've had time for little else other than watering the Garden and hanging laundry out to dry. This afternoon, however, I hope to be back at work here at St. Fiacre's, as there's a good bit of work waiting on me, and thank gods there is! It's so vital to have a purpose and work to do.
