Spirit Lake: Healing Retreat




My friends know that the past couple of years have been challenging for me.  It's been challenging for them as well.  Since we have known each other -- for better and for worse -- since childhood, we get together to commiserate.  We laugh, we cry, we hold secret rituals, and have beer/junk food for breakfast.  There's something very freeing about the seven of us getting together in northern MN on Spirit Lake in our coven cabin with nobody around. 

I am so lucky to have such a tight group of friends.  Are we a clique?  I guess some could describe it as that.  We are a clique because we all understand each other on levels that most people don't experience and we have a shared history.  We are a closed network that is not open to just anybody.  It's not because we're stuck-up, but it's because there really is a certain philosophical view on life that transcends the material we all subscribe to.  We can sense energy and the unseen.  Our intuitions are usually right-on.  Yeah, we are a coven of witches.  We are the magnificent seven as my coven sister, SSP,  so depicted us on our own personalized, hand painted wine glasses.
