“...who dare take on himself their rights, the responsibilities of another human soul? Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty...”

Rev Geoff Lundy; Former Dean of the Nemeton

Reverend Geoff Lundy/Grey Fox

I have been on a wandering spiritual journey; some mainstream, most not, since leaving my mother’s
church in the early seventies. Some of those years seemed stagnant times, but they all contribute to the growth which still unfolds. I worked solitary for much of the time, when I wasn’t in synagogue or mandir. Starting about 2003 I encountered local fellow travelers in the pagan community at the now defunct Triple Goddess. We started celebrating full moons, dark moons, the wheel of the year and other holidays as a group, which morphed into the Circle. I was honored as elder because I was older than everyone else, and I endeavored to fulfill that role. After a few years the Circle ended as we physically moved too far apart for our gatherings, but after three years of introspection (I joined AA) I started with Rev James (Bacchus) Gardner and Amy (Phoenix Feather) Nolte, original Circle members, the Blue Line Circle. We celebrated and explored as the Circle had, adding a few ordinations along the way, congratulations. Jeremiah and Vicky. We joined and visited other groups, sharing rituals and learning I was elevated to Sage (sprinkle with herbs, but don’t stick a fork in me I aint done yet) by the pagan community at a Harvest Moot several years ago. Then as other groups expanded, and filled roles in or engaged the community in ways that TBLC were not, but longed to do, the two elders (James and I) and our wise woman (Amy) merged the Blue Line Circle with the Nemeton of the Ways.
