Why Open Full Moon Saturdays are Kid Friendly (Walnut Hill Pagan Church Denver CO 80205)

Given that being Kid Friendly is one of the Landmarks of Walnut Hill Pagan (Wicca) Community Church, perhaps you might want to know why we insist on that policy.

Especially given that I was deflocked by Banefire "the Open Full Moon Friday People" for violating community safety standards. They had to create a Safe and Sober anti-marijuana policy to bar me from the Spiritual Centre which they hold their events . . . because Lady Catherine felt unsafe. 

Or was it merely the fact that I started to criticize them exactly the same way that my mentor, Maggie Moonstone did?

Anyways, for Safe and Sober" scared to crowd, it should be noted that I am a medical marijuana patient. For my back and migraines. 

Update: It is not "Safe and Sober" on Capital Hill any more.

It's "Do not show up, if you're inebriated."

Huh? What? 

What the hell has happened at Open Full Moon Fridays since they shoved me out of that burning dumpster fire? Outside of the fact that their Money Angel has cut them off? Yeah, twenty dollar suggested donation, really?

Well, does Lady Catherine still want to do away with Kid Friendly on Friday nights?

Yeah, let me air that dirt--in the last business notes that I got--because I refused to resign before I got proof that a certain parties were being pricks; there was a part asking, "Can we do away with Kid Friendly?"

What the fuck?!?

A center tenet of your previous leader, Maggie, laid waste by German flamethrower.

Because Lady Catherine hates children, the crone bitch. 

Or was it the person on the board who actually had several children who wanted to do away with being Kid Friendly?

Either way, as a reporter with leaked information from a board meeting (28 August 2019), the Capital Hill Friday OFMs, at least one board member would like to do away with Kid Friendly because it made its way into the typed business notes. Yeah, nice, right?

It made me a little sick to my stomach.

And that is the real reason that I resigned from that dumpster fire. 

Not their new anti-medical marijuana "Safe and Sober"--"Do not show up inebriated" policy; no, it was a single question, "Can we do away with Kid Friendly?"

Seriously, Maggie Moonstone was pregnant when she first performing OFMs in Denver's city parks. Pregnant. Later, I might have held that baby in my arms. A goddaughter?

"If we do not expose our children to Wicca, how are they going to know that this is an option?" That was Maggie position. And mine. 

Before I had a secret daughter.

Of course, in my case, I grew up in witchcraft, runes, and Thelema. 

My aunt, a Gardnerian Wiccan, started to teach me as soon as I was born. She declared me a reincarnated witch, from the Burning Times, as she was--and that was that.

My father, a farmer's son, practiced "Take your son to work day." Every damn school holiday. I don't take vacations because I never saw my father take one. Summers, I worked with Dad. I understand construction, sales, and storytelling. Oh, and gardening.

Plus, Dad was a runester. Angry that we gave up our heritage, our German language, to make Benjamin Franklin happy. In 1984, if he would not have died in that truck accident, he would have joined me in my Runic and Norse explorations. "Take Dad to work day."

My wife, Khari, was raised by a military man, believes that you should work for money.

Yeah, any child we would have, sadly, I can hear complaints, my daughter, listen:

"They never spent more than twenty-five dollars on an outfit for me ever. I worked school holiday in occult shop. And I improvise a Wiccan ritual in my sleep because my childhood--I did three of these a year from the time I was born until I was nineteen."

Yes, my daughter, let's call her Elsa, she would bitter about being a witch's apprentice.

Bottom line: Walnut Hill Open Full Moon Saturdays are Kid Friendly because I was a kid. 

Is that wrong?

Reminder that I have to run a Medical Marijuana Friendly event, simply because I can suffer a killer migraine for two weeks straight . . . which is why my daughter would have been dragged into helping run my occult shop, if she would not been banned from my life by that damn business partner of mine. 

Sadly, I even wrote parts for children . . . don't tell my daughter.
