When I grow up...

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.
