I'm not quite sure which one at the last moot was your student... I'm pretty sure it was the girl outside smoking with you after the moot (not great with names here), in which case yes i'd consider her a success. Any student who seems that independent from the teacher (in a good way) is a good thing. Unless I'm totally wrong here and not observant at all xd Quite possible considering the state I'm currently in and was in at the last moot.

No, I don't think she came out with me for a smoke. She was the one with red hair and the glasses. The one who commented on the Fennian cycle being less magical than the ulster cycle and drew the comparison between when they were written down first.

I was about to ask "do I know who you're talking about? usually got red hair?" then I saw this, heh. So yeah.

do I know magpie? eek

How does your prospective student know that you're going to teach her a tradition that is actually what she wants to learn? Most likely she'd follow blindly whatever you tell her, and that can be pretty damn dangerous.

<- I agree. Tell em what you know, but "teacher", I don't think so.

You might know me. Not sure I know you, but then again the internet is such an ambiguous place... I'll generally go to the moots if I can make them (though there was a long time I didn't because of a certain person who went... but let's not get into that). I'm quiet and blonde and usually don't say anything. Thus the quietness. I like to listen though biggrin
If that's still too ambiguous I'll try to make it to the next one and hopefully meet you there.

He he he. Not allowed? I could see reagun saying that...
Oh well. Maybe we'll meet eventually someday anyway. At least in the meantime there's the web. Nice to make your acquaintance.

Maybe next time I'm in Scotland I'll stop off. Heh... I have yet to actually meet my in-laws. They have first dibs.

At the risk of sounding presumptious, I think it's for her own good. And I've never forbidden her from going, for it's quite clearly not my place, I've just strongly advised she not go.

Oh no I'm not disagreeing with you! Don't get me wrong - I don't think it's a bad thing at all that you advised her against going. The fact that you're looking out for her is great. I didn't have anyone to tell me that (actually a certain mutual acquaintance of ours suggested that I go) but I certainly wasn't ready for it when I went. I had a bit of a rude shock. At the time I didn't know pagans could be so... feisty. And argumentative. Now I know better mrgreen I went through a stage of hating everyone there. Then I copped on to how stupid (and somewhat fluffy) I was being, started attending them again and really enjoyed it. So I think it's a good thing you're looking out for her.

He he he... Yeah that's a pretty terrifying concept. (Meant with all due respect Reagun! EEEEK! Please don't hurt me!)

I am sooooo going to tell him you said that. XP
Anyway, I trust the little ginger, he's got a good head on his shoulders (in certain areas), even if he does have lousy taste in men.

Due respect nothing! He knows it's a horrific image. twisted In fact, I think he's proud of it. wink

It wasn't that mutual acquaintance - twas the other. The one you used to work with. But in his case he was right. I needed to meet other pagans and discuss stuff. Or at least listen to them discussing.

Heh. Well, he went out with you, didn't he? xd Ah sure the little ginger's a lovely guy. Stubborn as a mule, but you gotta love him. Actually, I haven't seen him in ages... *reaches for phone*
