Writing On The Wall
Moonchild has invited me to to her Samhain celebrations! I'm going to be able to watch a real Wicca meeting!! Jen is going as well!!! Halloween might not be a complete write-off after all.
Today when we got back to Jen's house there was another one of those leathery rags attached to her front door with an athame. Jen freaked again. I really do think she overreacts sometimes. This time there was a message carefully inked onto the rag. It said this:
Greetings and Blessed Samhain,
Let it be known that the Cheshire Coven has been disbanded. Its high-priestess Diane Bell-Newbury has abandoned her position and her current location is unknown. Her leadership and ideology have been the cause of much concern. The Alderley Edge Council has therefore ruled that the Cheshire Coven will not be permitted to reform and that their leaders are forbidden to use ceremonial tools in a public forum from this day forth.
It is well known that the strife between the two covens has caused much suffering in recent years. At this blessed time the Alderley Edge Coven opens its arms in peace and friendship to all members of the Cheshire Coven. Any witch wishing, in good faith, to continue their observances are required to attend the Samhain Festival at Alderley Edge for initiation.
In peace, Aleistair Corley, Daniel Moor, Peter Fliest.
I don't see why Wiccans can't communicate via email like everyone else.
It turned out that Moonchild also got a similar message on her front door. She was livid. She phoned around the other nine members and it was the same story there too although two couldn't be contacted. Two others said they were unwell and would not be able to come to Moonchild's Samhaim celebration.
I've never seen Moonchild so shaken and angry. She said one coven had no right to say what another could or could not do and certainly couldn't disband it. She was a bit scary, in contrast to her usual quiet self, and reminded me strangely of Diane. She told Jen that she had to come tomorrow night, and this time Jen agreed. I certainly wouldn't have liked to argue with her in that mood.
Moonchild said that I had to come as well and to bring Steve too in case there was any trouble. She said everyone knew what Daniel's idea of peace and friendship was like. I'm also going to bring Roane because she says she has won awards at Judo. The celebration has been moved to Diane's house because it will be safer there.
Jen said that it was almost as though they knew that Moonchild was reforming the coven. I agreed and suggested that maybe they were spying on us. I kept looking pointedly at Chrystal, but no-one noticed. I pointed out that for them to be spying on us it meant there must be a spy. No-one seemed to understand the impact. Chrystal is also attending tomorrow night, allegedly to give Jen moral support. I sense a trap so I am going to be keeping a close eye on her.
This is fantastic! It's exactly what being in a secret defence league should be all about. I can't wait for tomorrow night. If Daniel tries anything I'll curse him with that charm for menstrual pain that Moonchild taught me, while Roane holds him in a Judo arm lock and Moonchild throws a fireball spell at him. Maybe not in that order though.
