Talk about weird and unexpected connections! Through Facebook, I had reconnected with a casual friend from high school. I remember her being a very sweet girl, and we had a few classes together, plus she also did some writing. But I think our strongest bond was that we were both the target of bullies in high school. But I haven't seen her since graduation, in over 20 years.
So there is she on Facebook. Now, in that particular guise that I present to the world of Muggles, I don't mention anything about shamanism, my spirit name or anything similar. There are simply lots of people out there who don't understand and make judgments, and I'm not quite ready to expose myself to the questions, etc.
But this girl somehow made the connection to the mystery school! I've never posted about it on Facebook, but there are a few fellow participants who make no secret of their path. All I can guess is that she saw some photo or something and went from there. And that's ok--I believe it was meant to be. So she sends me a message asking about it and just revealing details about her own neo-pagan spiritual path. It was a sweet note, too, about how she felt connected to me back in high school. Of course, I am so excited to find a kindred spirit, especially one of the few who emerged from our Christian school upbringing!
I emailed her back and share more about my own spiritual path. Turns out she's engaged and is looking for a minister to do a pagan/Wiccan ceremony! I mentioned that I'm newly ordained, and she wants me to do the wedding! It'll be on October 31--Samhain/Halloween--and they're hoping to hold the ceremony in a local state park. How wonderful!
I still have yet to meet with her about the details, but I'm so excited how this is unfolding. The universe can truly present some great opportunities when you put yourself out there!
