About this book:We intend this book for use by Pagan elders who are working as clergy for their people, and by those brave people who are about to become elders, and who are working toward that goal with the guidance of an elder. This book contains some of what we have learnt up until now, but it is hardly the last word on the subject. As usual with us, this is a work in progress. We hope to receive your advice, corrections, inspirations, great ideas, criticisms and manifestos concerning this book. Please email Judy with your feedback.As Witches, we are aware of the vast diversity of practices that make up the neo-Pagan movement. We have written this book in the hopes that it will be a useful resource for all Pagan clergy who might care to use it, whether their congregations be called covens, groves, temples, circles, or by some other name. We dedicate this book to all those who seek to learn how to better serve their Gods, their People, and their Earth. Acknowledgements:Thanks are due to our colleagues, who conscientiously or unwittingly shared the fortes and foibles of their experiences with departure issues, and to Margot Adler, Meredydd Harper, and Barry Marin, who helped write Tough Healing, presented as an appendix to this book.Thanks are also due to our own elders who gave us the benefit of their hard-won insights, and to our dear friend Lady Galadriel who shared some of her ritual ideas with us.
