March, 2008
Happy March, everyone.
February has been a difficult month for some of us, accompanied by some of the cruellest winter weather in some years. Margarian has been down ill with the flu and pneumonia for the last several weeks, and had to curtail many of her regular activities. I’ve had a touch of it myself, but luckily with no lost time (so far, anyway).
For those of you who have been waiting, Evergreen will be doing another series of five introductory classes, beginning the last week of March. Exact dates should be announced this week. For further information on Evergreen, visit our website at http://evergreenwicca.tripod.com
March 3 is, of course, the provincial election. If you’re eligible to vote, please do. To quote Robert A. Heinlein, “There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for...but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong.” This one could be anybody’s ball game.
Two events have dropped off the calendar this month. The Calgary Pagan Night Out ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CalgaryPaganNightOut/ ) has been suffering from lack of attendance, and is going on hiatus for awhile. Also, Mimi has announced that the Witchery, Calgary’s premier pagan store and unofficial “pagan central”, will be closing at the end of the month. As a result, the monthly “Pagan Paths” event has been discontinued. Mimi will continue to operate the Witchery as an online business at http://www.thewitcheryonline.com/
and the phone number will stay unchanged. Many thanks to her for eight wonderful (though occasionally turbulent) years. Her charming store (and self) will be missed.
March's Birthdays: Kytti, and probably some of my Facebook friends. (That’s all?)
