The Gods Work in Mysterious Ways

Category: Mama Kelly's Musings, Mind Body & Spirit | Written by Mama Kelly

My husband hates Facebook.

More accurately he hates my addiction to it. Truth be told I’m getting bored with the apps and the games, but what I remain hooked on are the connections that I am reforming. Or more accurately are being reformed for me by hands not my own.

I have been lamenting about being a witch alone, alone aside from my beloved Lady Rose that is, and suddenly I am surrounded by friends … now granted not all of them are Pagan, but more of them are than I would’ve actually believed. And now this group of former Catholics are planning how they can, across the distance, see if they can make magic happen.

I could weep. Not from sorrow, not even quite from joy, but from relief.

You see, in my real life, I am so far in the broomcloset that I’ve fallen through the back into another world, except it isn’t quite Narnia. In her book, The Fifth Sacred Thing, Starhawk speaks of the good reality and the bad reality and that by our works, by our magic, and mainly by our focus and intent we decide which world we live in.

By actively seeking out my old friends I changed my reality. I may not have found a paddle yet, but suddenly mu little boat has a cooler chest in it, full of things which nourish me. And while it still isn’t Narnia, and may never be so, suddenly the shore doesn’t seem so far, the unknown doesn’t seem quite so threatening, and I’m beginning to think the time may be coming to just fucking swim.

I want to thank all the gods and goddesses, all the many faces of the Eternal One, for the gift of these people in my life again. Your 2×4 is a bitch, but when you bless someone, you really really bless someone.

That is all

Mama Kelly

PS My husband would like to make it clear that he in no way encourages the broomcloset, in fact he hates the closet more than he hates Facebook. He just wants me to find a way to put the laptop down every so often.

My husband HATES facebook too, but I sure do love being able to keep up with you and Lady Rose on there in a way not possible with the blogs.

It’s funny, but it took me forever to join facebook. I was active on twitter and blogging, but just refused to join facebook until a friend practically forced me to. And now, I’ve reconnected with all these people I used to know and connected with some new ones. I’ve finally been able to meet and attend ritual with some local pagans – who I met on Facebook.

I wouldn’t give it up now *laughs*.
