Cymraes’s Magickal Journal.

…and I am soooo looking forward to it!

But not just the conference itself  makes my heart beat a little faster; it’s the thought of meeting so many of you nice people (old friends and new) in person that does it too. )

As I said before tickets are still available and can be held on the door – just let me know and it will be done!

I wonder what it is about this event that get everyone fired up?

Is it the speakers, the book fair, or the event as a whole? Reading about it on the internet it seems the place to be if you are a serious student of the Art of the Old Ways.

I’ve seen comments such as ‘no fluff or crushed velvet to be seen here’ and it’s true! No Harry Potter or Buffy wanabees, just people who do what they do and take it seriously.

Same goes for the speakers; ‘lucid speakers’ was one comment I read! How true I thought… )

Last year’s controversy spiced it up a bit too, and I’m sure opened the way for more people to become interested in the recent history of the more traditional craft of our land; something every one should be aware of and yet so many are not.

We (the UK) have always had a long pre-Wicca history and I’m looking forward to hearing more about the man (and his HPs’) who brought Wica out to the masses, but as a magical practise rather than a religion, this weekend. )

Not that I’m having a go at other events understand – but you’ll find no opening ritual here (or a closing one for tha);  just a lively, friendly, attmosphere, full of chatter and the sharing of food and coffee’s and catch ups with people who see each other only at this event; folk who come on their own and feel at home; groups who come together; eveyone it seems has fun!

And then there’s the books…

I know some of you will have a ‘book budget’ and find it hard to stick to;  it’s quite easy to spend a hundred pounds or more in the blink of an eye! And I warn you now – the Astrology books are MINE – so hands off people!!! ;op

Only joking… but seriously, I am expecting to find a few books I’ve had my eye on for a while. I’d rather buy from the book sellers there than off the internet – nothing like leafing thro’ a book first to get the gist (and the ‘feel’) of it! Something I can’t do on Amazon…

So roll on Saturday – I can’t wait!!!
