Created on 3/22/01 from a letter written to Dana.
Well, I guess we will indeed be one big happy family in New Paltz. I'm not 100% definite, yet. More like 79%.
Katie didn't like Dana (who will be a part of my New Paltz family) because she ran up and hugged me... um... about five times. Which was a good thing from my stand point (the hugging, I mean). I tried to explain that she and I got along wonderfully and I hadn't seen her in years, but Kate was still a bit jealous. I get kind of jealous about people in her past occasionally too, so I don't terribly fault her.
I'm sure once Kate gets to know her a bit better, she'll like her, because I do. She and I tend to share the same opinions about people.
Dana is Pagan, at least as far as I remember. We never really got to do much together, in that respect. We should. I am teaching Katie the Ways. She has had a vague interest in the Craft for a while, but mostly because it is a big part of my life and prior to recently, it was the one part of my life that I kept from her (Because it was none of her business.) So, I am heavily into the informing process with her. She hasn't worked much magick except slight healing (I had a stomachache) and she did a guided meditation to help her find a magickal name. But she is learning all about the processes and a bit about the history. Well, as much as I can remember when she is in a mood to be taught.
