Busy day...

Busy day today. My father-in-law and his wife (who's not my mother-in-law) visited us, since they were in the vicinity and both I and jennyaxe had our birthdays this week. Then a double dose of Samhain. First with the new coven, and after that a visit to the old one. And on top of this I managed to get in a decent start on the NaNoWriMo piece. Much more than I thought I would, I didn't expect to get to more than about half as far.

And the previous post, with the cyberish C icon, was made by the perl script that does a wordcount and posts to LJ at 11:50pm every day during November. So expect to see 29 more posts like that one. Although with different numbers in them.

Swedish wiccans

Someone's started a web forum specifically for initated Wiccans in Sweden -- and it's not someone I know of. There seems to be a whole bunch of initated wiccans active here that we had no idea about. Their chain of initation goes back to the ubiquitous Laila (my late High Priestess, that is), so we really should have known about them. It seems that they got lost when a couple of women had a falling out with Laila in the early-to-mid nineties, but unlike everyone else who did that they didn't stop practicing. Instead, they started up a coven of their own and kept going.

Anyway, it seems that my estimate on how many initiated wiccans there are in Sweden has been low by a factor of two. On the whole, a nice surprise.

Although it makes me wonder how many of us there really are.
