When I grow up...

[joy_shines]

As unpaid, informalish Clergy, I...

• help lead rituals for full moons and pagany holidays - on about an every-other-month basis.
• publicize and help organize all public rituals performed by my Circle, every month. Sending out emails, collecting information, sharing directions...etc.
• sometimes do a little divination for people who ask. Mostly Tarot.
• pray.
• prod my comfort zones as a leader/facilitator of worship/rituals.
• provide informal counsel for friends.
• try to help build and connect community.

If I were Clergy, for a living (or part of my living), I would also ideally...

• perform Transition rituals like: handfastings, weddings, passings, separations, menarche rituals, coming-of-age rituals, namings, coming-into-sexuality rituals, home blessings, etc. These would not only be for pagans...but for anyone who likes my style, wants something outside the Church, UU, or strictly Wiccan-y traditions. Agnostics (and respectful/symbol-oriented atheists) welcome.
• be known as a trusted source for divination and/or counsel, and perform those functions on a relatively regular basis.
• conduct/facilitate monthly community rituals - full moons for prosperity and celebration and gratitude and/or dark moons for dealing with Needs and release. Agnostics (and respectful/symbol-oriented atheists) welcome.
• accept gifts, trade of services, donations (monetary and otherwise), etc. to help me be able to devote so much Time to ClergyWork.
• **learn more about pastoralish counseling so's I can do pre-nuptial, grief, and other sorts with confidence and a clear conscience.
