Saying Goodbye in Advance

I can not keep up with all that I have on my schedule right now. As hurtful as it is to my pride to admit, I just can't do it. I still have allot of lessons to post in the Spirit Seers Coven and I don't intend to fully leave until they are all posted, but once the two chosen members of my Coven have completed the leadership lessons I am giving to them privately and pass the test I will be giving them on Friday I will be letting the Spirit Seers members know that I intend to step down from my position as Priest.

I will take the position of a Council member. Right now the Priestess is an inactive member, she has only kept her position for so long because she is my fiance and there has yet to be an eligible replacement for her. Once I step down an active Priest and Priestess will be taking the positions, their first few weeks as leaders will be under my advisement, and hopefully things will continue to go smoothly if not even smoother then it has been.

The reason for this decision, as mentioned previously, is the amount of other stuff I have to do. I have been neglecting household chores or taking breaks that are to long, I have to get ready for College so that I can get into the Air Force, I haven't been spending as much time with my fiance as I should have been, etc. I can't keep a life in the real world and dedicate myself to a Coven too and I can't be the only active leader without feeling that I owe the Coven more. I need balance, and dedicating myself to this site has taken that from me.

When I leave I, of course, will no longer be a Priest and so I will be leaving this Coven as well. Fighter and Isadora will be taking my place, most likely, as the new Priest and Priestess of the Spirit Seers Coven.

It was nice being here and being considered equal to you all, I feel having seen this has shown me how all the Covens can be like many parts of one big family rather then separate families entirely. If the members of one Coven are brothers and sisters with the Priest and Priestess being mom and dad then members of the other Covens are like cousins with the Priest and Priestess being aunt and uncle.

Sorry for this post being so long... I feel talkative and nobody is online.

Oh Rag i am truly sorry to see you go hun you will be missed greatly.
On a positive note I found out that me mum isnt getting rid of the internet after we move

rag......no.....will you be returning?........we will miss you rag......i never got to know you but i will, and i will still respect you as the priest you rightfully are!!!! blessed be rag..and good luck

Artemes; That's great. I'm glad you'll be able to stay online. :)

Dyriane; When I step down from this position I will no longer rightfully be a Priest in my opinion. I only became Priest by Suelearning's decision to replace Wasted after she saw what kind of damage he was doing. Now these two new leaders will be Priest and Priestess by choice of both Priest and Priestess of the Spirit Seers Coven. The position will be rightfully theirs.
But I understand and appreciate your meaning. :)

I will not likely be returning to this Coven any time soon and when/if I do I'm sure allot will have changed. I will be staying on this site as a Council member so that I can guide the two new leaders and make sure everything goes as it should. I still haven't decided whether or not I'll leave the site entirely once I'm in college. I probably won't have much time for it, but I may still log in on the weekends. I may wait until I'm in the Air Force to leave the site for awhile. We'll just have to see how things go.

rag, priest or not, you made a good one, and thats what why i respect you and will continue to!

Same here. It has been a pleasant aquaentancey. I am truly sorry you may not be with us much longer.

I propose a toast. To wonderful and well knowledgeable Priest. You Rag will always be a priest to us, with or without a coven. And I'm guessing you're still welcome here whenever you can join us again. And now to all that is strange and misunderstood...
