Last week was a wonder check, this week is a priestly reality
check!
Priestly? Yes, because you are your own priest or
priestess. While there are indeed others who will insist on
giving such authority to someone else, you do have your own
priestly authority where your own ministry to yourself is
concerned. This has nothing to do with ordination, or any
body licensing you to perform rituals in their name and under their
authority. The first priesthood which ever existed is your
own priesthood to minister to yourself.
And in this, some will accuse me of "talking in riddles," while
others will understand it quite clearly. Then again, that
always happens.
It begins with the understanding that as a priest or priestess,
each of us is "in the miracle business." The trick here is
simply knowing what to do about that, and what to do with
that. And don't let the word "simply" fool you into thinking
that it's easy! That's where the "reality check" part comes
in.
And so, I begin with some good counsel that I got when I was first
becoming serious about becoming a priest, and from there going into
the cautions, typical pitfalls, and perhaps even how to recognize
when you might actually still win!
Blessed Be!
