The Beginning...

So here I am, at the beginning of an amazing journey!

A few months ago I joined the  Ár nDraíocht Féin. What a mouthful, I know. I can't even explain how I came to find them, because I truly don't know. In the end, it doesn't matter how it happened. All that matters is that it did and here I am.

As I said, technically I joined a few months ago and began my DP (Dedicant program). There have been a few stutters on the way to this point.  As the saying goes... if you want to make the Gods laugh, tell them your plans. I have tried to find study buddies, but they disappear very quickly.  I have tried different forms of keeping up with my progress and a journal, but things keep happening to mess them up.  It seems that my tendency to keep things private won't work in this case. instead I will be posting this for the world to see.

As I said, there have been a few stutters. Major family problems followed by surgery not even a week ago have all conspired to make me take steps back.  At the time, I was frustrated, but then something happened...

I had a dream...

Anyone likely to read this will understand it was one of "those" dreams that are really a place out of time and space where Someone is passing on a message.  in this case there was a beautiful woman, who was then an elderly woman, then a young one, and so on. She made me see this was my last test that luckily I passed.  All to determine that I was well and truly ready for all of this.  She smiled and here I am.

I will be moving all my previously completed work in my other journal onto here while I am in recovery from surgery.  It will give me a chance to keep my hands in it without attempting anything serious while on the heavy post-op meds.

And now.... off to my exciting journey!
