Being A Mentor

It's Fall Break! And yet, there will be no break for me unfortunately. I have two tests next week along with creating new physics notes and keeping up with my reading for the study group. I have this huge teacher manual to read which I've started on. It's actually quite interesting and motivating and I hope I can be of some real help when teaching my students the Wiccan tradition.

I'm hoping to get with my partner soon and make up some study plans and outline some lessons. I like to be organized and go about this the right way. I don't want our students to feel that we are unorganized because that brings about a feeling of stress which can lead to bad energy in the group. That's not how I want new students and seekers to feel when deciding to study with us.

I recently bought hematite stones for all the potential students coming to study with us. I gave two students their stones today and will be giving the others theirs soon. Possibly during the first meeting if I do not see them sooner. I felt that the students didn't need to be bombarded with negative energy while they were trying to study the Craft. Hematite stones repel negative energy.

I also got some green Jade stones. Jade is connected with the heart chakra in the body. However, green Jade is also connected with the Third Eye. It's said to help with peaceful dreaming by eliminating bad ones. I gave one of them to one of my students as well to help with his nightmares.

I feel like I'm actually doing some good in this world, like I'm actually making a difference in peoples' lives. That's what I love about being a mentor. I try to bring in calm, peaceful energy with me while I'm meeting with students and get to know them on a personal level. I feel it's all part of being a good leader and maybe one day a good High Priestess.

This is a big step for me and I'm ready to take the risk. As I've said before I don't know every single thing about the Craft but that should be expected. I want to guide these seekers on a path that is right for them and help them along the way. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'm taking the risk.

There's no turning back now.

On another note, I'm going to Pagan Pride tomorrow. I'm really excited. I'm dragging my friend along with me. Then I'm going down to visit my old High School friend and spend the night so I probably won't get to blog tomorrow or Sunday but I'll try!

Don't miss me too much!
