Today, is another Wiccan Study Group meeting and I hope it turns out well. We have a new person joining us today which I'm very excited about. Cara and I are busy trying to get everything together to have more structured meetings and an outline so everyone knows what we'll be discussing for each meeting. We're still in the baby stage of everything and trying to get our curriculum and material together.
Some of our people are ahead of others because they've been in groups and covens before. However, they studied with eclectic covens and we come from a specific tradition based on Welsh/Celtic Witchcraft. It's a little hard for them to understand because although we to have intuition about rituals, spells, etc, we still use traditional ritual outlines that have been passed down over time. Also, we want people to know not just about the history of our tradition but encourage them to study other traditions as well.
People have to be self motivated which is something the people who come to us aren't. I'm not sure why, but they don't really want to do research or find any information for themselves, or even practice by themselves. Sometimes you have to do these things to gain insight and perspective. Of course, we offer doing group sabbats and sometimes if we can make it happen, esbats. However, you have to be able to connect in a spiritual sense outside of the coven as well.
This is where our problem lies for us right now. I guess I'm going to have to start assigning homework!
