Volume II, Issue 7, Febuary 23, 2001 Merry Meet and welcome to Whispers of a Stone Circle. I am going to be SO glad when the mercury retrograde is over. I have experienced more miscommunication in the last week then I have in I don't know how long. I'm hoping that in the next week that life calms down a bit. I am also desperately waiting for spring. I can feel the energies stir in the earth and know spring is coming and then we get hit with another snowstorm. The Canadian geese don't know what to think they keep flying north then south over my house. Also the Raven, who has written several things for this newsletter, is in the hospital. She is really bad about accepting magickal help but any good thoughts aimed her way would be appreciated. Submissions are gladly reviewed and if found acceptable will be published and this does stop me from pestering friends about when are they going to submit something again. Sheila K.

Watkins I saw the woman circling the lone eye shining bright seductive was the dance in the fullness of the night the soft hiss of the wind the soft rattle of the trees soft cloth blowing the dance or the breeze Arms moving reaching slithering to the eye beckoning to it longingly As it moves across the sky ~*~*~*~ Cool Link of the week Amerindian Astrology http://pagan-dawn.co.uk/amindast.htm ~*~*~*~ For those of you not familiar, The Blessed Bee sponsors a scholarship open to students following a Pagan spiritual path who are continuing their education beyond high school.
