Blueness mailed an identical envelope of materials out to each of us. I had to make 1 ATC using some of EACH of the materials and ONLY THOSE to create 1 ATC.

Not that I mind too much, as long as everyone keeps in touch and we keep track of each other's books...but it was already gonna be a "long haul" from March to September, now it is looking more like December...patience, grasshopper! On a more positive note, 3 rituals this week... already did one (Esbat) Sunday...
