Cyber Cauldron

As you read in the Facebook posting I will be closing the Cyber Cauldron down.

Now I am very sadden by this but there are reasons.

Cyber cauldron was a dream I started about 10 years ago it was my showpiece at the end of my training in web design and programming. I started out on my own in 2006 as a web designer using the cyber cauldron name about this time last year I knew I needed to reconnect with the divine on a very basic level so with the web design failing and debts mounting I designed the new Cyber cauldron site paid for it to be built to do what I wanted and found a supplier of pagan product which I felt others would like to buy.

Over the last year the cyber cauldron has become a money pit but that did not worry me each day I found a purpose, which allowed me the privilege to communicate with like-minded individuals.

Each day I would think about the divine and find something of interest to post sometime humour as I feel that sometime we can study so hard that we stop enjoying the learning process, my personal thought and musings on the goddess and magicks some of which never made it to post but I enjoyed the rant lol as well as what I felt new comers should know.

I always planned to run the cyber cauldron for a year and a day and cover the year and each festival as the moved towards them focusing on what it is to be an eclectic witch. My hopes would be that the cyber cauldron would become a true online coven I really wanted to reach for the stars but although still reaching grabbing nothing but air.

Now since Yule I have realised that in honesty that I can no longer justify that each month I have to pay for hosting, with no financial income of any kind it has got to the stage that my debts are getting higher and I have to sacrifice something.

Now I could work magicks for success or more money but I am an ethical witch and feel that magicks are available but you can become reliant on them I am happy to do workings for others but to work for personal gain is wrong and we can all find a reason to convince ourselves that it for the greater good a good witch understands that power is best tethered and control we wield a mighty weapon it is so might that it can control us so sometime it best not to use. In time you younger witches will see that magicks are a test you have to balance the times you use and the times you don’t sometimes we need to struggle.

Well getting back to the point I have tried everything to make this work on a financial level but still broke and getting worse by the day their have been time I have sat down in front of the PC and cried as I see my dreams slip away I have put pay pal donate buttons and google ads trying to off set cost but still broke lol.

A few days ago I sat down and as my fingers touched the keyboard from deep down inside a voice said today is the day to close the cauldron lid but I pushed on but last night I finally had to admit that this was coming to an end so posted to Facebook so in a weakened state I did the thing that I have found so hard to do.

Now the facts are I love the cyber cauldron it has been a part of my life but as we face Ostara I must return to balance and face the reality that I cannot spend every waking hour working on something that is not beneficial as an income.

So with that being said (unless I win the lottery) the cauldron must die but as witches we know that death is not the end so I can assure you that cyber cauldron will rise again and continue although I am not sure yet how I just know I cannot do it alone anymore in it current format.

Now I must say that the comments and phone call this morning shocked me as I final felt that the cyber cauldron was finally a coven I saw the high priestess take their roles as I remembered our conversation and I saw how much they have grown and felt the goddess in each and I was reassured that for me to let go of the path I chose a bigger and better path was waiting for me.

I make two promises one that the cyber cauldron as it stands will continue until we have done a year and a day and two that even if it just facebook the cyber cauldron will remain and our friendships will never be broken.

Brightest blessing
