SO here it is, the first Witchy Wednesday……and I gotta be a Debbie Downer. UGH!

Ok so if you are on twitter then you have probably seen some tweets about a pagan meetup in Salem Massachusetts for sometime this summer. We had started discussing this last month and when I got back from Florida I started checking with a friend in Massachusetts about locations, hotels, etc. Then the shit hit the fan. My car has been in the shop for 6 days with transmission problems (we are going to have to look at buying a new car I think). Last night we ran out of heating oil and I don’t have a clue how we are going to pay the mechanic AND get heating oil in our home! I was hoping for a better year, not one who royally screws me in less than one week of it’s start! Anyhow combine that with payments that have to be made thi year for my trip to Egypt next year, my oldest daughters school trip across the state, Beltane Brouhaha, and a trip to Carowinds (which at this point is probably being cancelled…..good thing we didn’t tell the kids!) I cannot squeeze in a roadtrip to Massachusetts. It really kills me cause I really wanted to hang out with some peeps. But all is not lost. Here are two things we can do to handle this.

1. No matter what I can help people plan the meetup. There is no reason for others not to meetup just because I can’t, ya know? So whomever decides to take over, let me know and I will happily pass on any info I get in regards to hotels and whatnot.

2. There is always Beltane Brouhaha. I am currently awaiting an email to be sure it’s on and at the same place (more than likely). Really my email was to push them to hurry up and announce it so I can start paying for a cabin lol! Anyway it’s held in Kings Mountain State Park in SC. The Church of Wicca is the organizer of the event. It is usually an entire weekend and you can rent a cabin or bring a tent ( I recommend cabin as it puts you right there with everything). There are classes, meetings, vendors, rituals, and so on and so forth. The oldest and I went last year and we had an amazing time. The family wants to go this year and I am loving that! Anyhow it is not a luxurious hotel stay but we could do a pagan tweetup/meetup there. I will post links and what not as soon as Church of Wicca posts their info.

So yea, life is being rough right now and I am trying to prioritize. Think about it, comment, let me know what you are thinking.
