"Far from being a curse, uncertainty can be a source of hope. Okay, so yes, it means that the things we are looking forward to might not be as good as we want them to be, but it also means that the things we dread might not be as terrible as we inagine." -- Matt Haig Life is full of uncertainty, but when we let our fears control our thoughts and behaviors, we give it a power over us. It can cripple our ability to live our lives. Uncertainty can be either the Web that binds us, or it can be the springboard to greater blessings. When we consciously decide to make that leap into the unknown, come what may, we will find out that it isnt really as scary as we make it out to be. For instance, I have worked my day job for almost 6 years or so, and have heehawed about seeking a management position. I have heard how the corporation that owns our franchise treats the store manager and frankly, it is upsetting. I am fearful of added responsibilities, the fear of messing up. But mostly, because I know it takes me a very long time to integrate new skills and talents and master these things. But, as part of my New Year's resolutions, is the push to get over the uncertainty of whether I can be an effective shift lead at work. So, today I begin doing the Learning Zone videos to pursue this goal. Will I mess up? Absolutely. Will it take me awhile to really get things down? Sure! But, it is something I feel I need to do. Not just for my income, but because FEAR should not be a reason to not jump at an opportunity for self-improvement. The same goes for any practice of spirituality. In Witchcraft, many discover different spells and charms that they would like to try. Some fear "messing up". But those who "do the thing", end up realizing that their fear was unwarranted. And they end up succeeding moreso than failing. When I began to work with thr Goetic Daemon Clauneck, it was with great apprehension. Interacting with a new entity can bring its own fear, especially when dealing with Spirits from ancient grimoires. But, the steady alliance between Him and I, has manifested great abundance in my life, in small and yet powerful ways. I needed the uncertainty of whether He would accept my bargain and offerings. What was the worst that could happen? He could have easily ignored me, or at worse, make my life extremely chaotic.

Season's Greetings! I know I have been quiet and would like to extend a formal hello to all of you that have joined us here at Caer Noddfa. I apologize for the lack of current content. As everyone knows, this season can be brutal. But, this next year I have a lot planned and in motion to bring conversation and to build this community. We currently have the following planned: 1. Building on the course work here. I have a few goodies I have been collating and will go live. Some of these will be freebies, and some will be content for PREMIUM and VIP membership. 2. Community Gatherings. Every Sunday at 6PM we will have some fellowship to get to know each other. There will also be other Gatherings planned, including monthly ritual, and hands-on classes in various Witchy topics. I recently discovered that we can record these Gatherings, allowing more content to be maintained for future memberships and courses. 3. As Skool is primarily community-led, my goal is to build interaction. A major facet of my practice of Witchcraft is building relationships with self, and other-than-self, with all spirits, embodied and unembodied. So, this space is honestly YOURS. The material presented will be based on the Socratic Method. I am really good at sharing my knowledge and experience of Witchcraft and Magick (30+ years of it), but I want to provide you with the experiences to have your own Fayerie Tale. And to guide that, I need to know where you are at and what you are seeking. So, do not be afraid to post anything here. We all have wisdom. And who knows what piece of wisdom you have, someone else here may need. 4. Study Group. I am slowly building a Study Group. I am first and foremost, a Fayerie Traditionalist (a practitioner of the Ancient Fayerie Faith), a neo-animistic path that has its roots in spirit-reverence and soul Ecology. One book that highlights the essence of this practice is Robin Artisson's book, AN CAROW GWYN: SORCERY AND THE ANCIENT FAYERIE FAITH. I have led two Study Groups through this book, and we have discussed its content, and shared our own experiences...and I would like to do the same here. So, if you are interested, let me know what days and times you may be open to joining us, and we can schedule it. 5. There are a lot more things coming...

I have been having issues with my electronics. Could be issues due to the flooding and the infrastructure of internet and cell phone data.

So, discovered half the reason I am having issues. Never updated my phone and my roommate needed to update the firmware on their router. So hopefully this weekend we will have our Gathering. I will be adding a bunch of stuff here soon from my laptop to our Community and we will begin to get the ball rolling. STANDARD (FREE) MEMBERSHIP: for those who join us here at the FREE level will have access to basic training materials and will be considered Students. Think of this as FIRST DEGREE MEMBERSHIP. Basic trainings within a Coven setting. PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP: this is equivalent to Second Degree membership within the Coven of Caer Noddfa. You will have access to relevant materials geared toward Second Degree Members, including courses, video calls, and community gatherings. VIP MEMBERSHIP: this is full membership at the Third Degree level, which gives you access to advanced courses, community gatherings and more. I have a lot of stuff forthcoming and ways to grow this community, but will need everyone's help to bring it together. First thing I am developing is a Study Guide course for an important book for working with Spirits (AN CAROW GWYN: SORCERY AND THE ANCIENT FAYERIE FAITH by Robin Artisson). I will be recording and getting that ready. We will schedule regular meetings to discuss.

Community meeting, well no one showed. It's 9:18 eastern good night, everyone
