Faemon, who has emailed me about Otherfaith stuff, asked me a while back about mysticism and where mysticism fits in the faith...if there is a sort of sanctuary in the structure that everyone follows that mystics could fall back on. Ideally I think that is something that mystics should have, since it keeps us grounded.

I agree that we're lacking in ritual and liturgy...as you said, not bad, but I do feel it starting to hold back my own practice. And there's fear of doing it wrong even though I know, for one, of course I'm going to get it wrong, and for two, it's okay to get it wrong! I just have to be doing, being creating a practice, and that is the hard part and factors into why we don't have ritual yet. I'm hoping to remedy that, with everyone's help of course. Ritual is just not something I can do on my own...

I think setting up goals is a good thing for us to do during Reunion - personally, but also for the Otherfaith.

Speaking of 'doing', though, for Reunion I burned any partially used candles I had. Felt good to get rid of them rather than letting them sit or trying to find something else to use them for!
