Hello everyone.  It has been quite a while since I posted.  I apologize.  I have been a bad, bad blogger.  Don't worry.  I have been duly punished for my transgressions with an enormous amount of event updates.  Karma bites back.

In order to avoid another Karmic backlash, let me fill you in on the latest updates.

The calendar issues has been fixed.  All calendars are available to be viewed.  If you click on most of the events you will get a slew of information.  If you are curious about an observance or event the information you can get with just one click of the mouse may save you quite a bit of time and trouble.  So please click away my friends.

The final update was the addition of some Mid-Missouri pagan/Wiccan/witch events.  I have added as much information as possible to the details area of the events so, again, click for more info.

Just to make things easier, after you read this entry, take a peek at following entries for annual and monthly events.  Most of these events are not sponsored by Holts Summit Witches & Pagans, however we have met and networked a little in the past with some of the people involved.  These are wonderful opportunities to become further connected with numerous Mid-Missouri pagans and like-minded individuals.

Well, my friends, I have hopefully avoided Karma's sting for a little while.  Hopefully you can look forward to more posts. Please keep checking back with us, and thank you for you interest and your patience.

I wishing you all Blessings, Laughter and Peace.
