PART THREE
	I was told I should sit next to HPS and keep stum, and that it would be “US and THEM”. What the hell was going on? I was then told by HPS that the other two HP’s were there incase anyone kicked off!, and if they did, they would escorted off the premises. The Coven Members arrived, they were told to go and get robed and then line up outside the Temple door in the usual way. I was sitting in a bare Temple, and un be known to the Coven, they were all Lambs to the Slaughter! As they entered they were told to sit on the floor, I sat in a chair with my head down and my hands clenched in my lap. HP started going on about one thing and another, then HP 2 had his say about how he’ll always protect his HPS, and how he was a member of The Order of the Rams, and he would do what ever it took to protect his HPS, along with his 40 or so members of the Rams. Then each of the Coven were given a job to do to erect the Temple and lay the Altar, to see how much they had learnt!, having to go on Treasure hunt first to find everything. I sat there getting more wound up by the minute, my legs were twitching, and my temper at boiling point. I couldn’t look any of the Coven in the eye, I just wanted to walk out, and tell HPS and HP what they could do, but, I couldn’t leave My Coven behind, so I had to stick it out. HPS was huffing and puffing, like only she can do, and if anyone of the Coven tried to help another, she clapped her hands and pointed at them, pulling a face of scorn at them. The one good thing that came out of the whole exercise of humiliation was the Coven came together, they all tried to help each other, at the cost of being scorned at, but they wanted to work as a team. But, I thought to soon, then came the explosion, one of the Altar items, was placed under the Altar, like it says in the paperwork given me to by HPS. But that gave her the excuse she was waiting for; She got on her high horse, yelling the Altar was laid out wrong. I calmly leant over, and said, ‘it’s in your paperwork’ and called her by her proper name, not HPS …….., as I should have, as we were in Circle, disrespectful, Yes, but I didn’t respect her at that moment. My first kick in her teeth, she annouced the paperwork was wrong, this comment made Willowhawk lose it, (bless her), and she promptly said “so in that case all my work is wrong and a load of shit”. I wanted to walk out at that very moment, but was not going without the rest. The end of the evening came to a close, thank the Gods, no one really spoke, we ate very little and left, totally pissed off. I then spoke to HP and stated my case, and he replied, “I know, don’t worry” I was getting filthy looks from the other two HP’s, I did and said nothing, I was well fucked off, this was the point of no return, I will not back down on this one, I remembering thinking to myself. She made me look and feel like a C***! And no one gets away with that. On the Sunday (12th August 2001), I got a phone call from one of the Coven members asking if her, another Coven member and Willowhawk, could come over for a chat, as there were a few things they thought I should know. I told her any day but Monday or Tuesday would be fine, and thought no more of it. Later that same day I got another phone call this time from Willowhawk, asking if they could come over that very night, and asking if I would be alone? To both of her questions I answered yes, and so it was arranged they came over that evening. What I was about to learn, not only angered me, but upset me a great deal. When the three of them arrived at my house, they all looked well stressed, then they began to tell me all, all I can say is that for the first time, I was lost for words; it was a real eye opener. The first thing they told me, was how HPS and HP had been slagging me off behind my back, more HPS than HP, she had been saying “How I was a disappointment to her, and had asked, one of the Covener’s (one of them in my house that night) to take my place as the Priestess of the Coven and Teacher. It was all HPS’doing that no one had attended the meeting I had arranged, to solve the problems after Lammas, that she had said “not by any circumstance’s were they to attend” and that her number 2 was to blame, and that she was leading me astray, but the final nail in the coffin was that I and her number 2 were having a lesbian affair, that we were waiting for Keith to die so number 2 could move in with me!!!!!!!!!! That was the last straw, after calming down, I suggested we phone number 2 and put her in the picture. I got Willowhawk to talk to her, and tell her exactly what they had told me, number 2 lost it completely, this was hurting her more than me, as she looked on HPS and HP as Mother and Father figures. We realised we had to get over to number 2 house before she went round to confront them. We got there, calmed here down, after a few cups of coffee and lots of shouting and crying, I think we went through every emotion that exists, we all decided to leave the Coven and make our own way in the Craft. I felt really bad, as I felt it was me that got them in this sordid situation in the first place. I had made my mind up to leave the HPS and HP, but gave the others the choice of what they wanted to do. They all decided if I was going to walk, they would walk with me. The next day would be the committee meeting of the Open night (Monday 13th August 2001), this would be the day I told HPS and HP they had been found out, I had reached the point of no return. So the following day (Monday 13th August) I collected all HPS’ stuff together, books, video’s, and paperwork and placed them all in two carrier bags, ready to take that evening. I had decided the Open Evening meeting would be the best place and time to tell them, my reason for that was, I respect my Craft, and had no intention of having a show down with them, plus there would be non Craft people there, and I would not enter into a political Craft slagging match in front of non Craft people. Number 2 and I arrived at 7-45pm with HPS’ stuff, as I walked in, HPS said to me “What have you got there?” I replied, “All your books video’s and paperwork, I’m not stopping its over” She sat there in her best drama mode, calling HP, I told her exactly what had happened the night before, how I knew the game she was playing, and just ended it by saying “IT’S OVER!” Her reply to this was, “What about the open evening/” and I replied “Like I said it’s over all of it” Number 2 went out to the garden to get her plant they had been looking after, and I went down to their bedroom to get my cloaks I had left there. HP followed me and asked if we could talk in the week when everyone had calmed down, I just said “What ever” and left. Number 2 and myself went straight to Willowhawks, I was so angry, upset and really hurt, all at the same time; I didn’t know how I should feel. When we got to Willowhawk’s I asked her for a drink, something else that Bitch HPS made me do, (first one I’d had in years, as I’d had a drink problem when I was married to my ex-husband). But I was proud with myself, I’d done what I had set out to do, and that was to let that Cow know she was rumbled. One of the other Coverner’s came round just to say how proud she was of me, for what I had done. We all decided we needed to go somewhere to chill, so we went up the Medicine Wheel. We stayed up there for about an hour and talked about what we wanted from the Craft, and made a decision to stay together and see what happens. As we stood there we saw the Aura of the trees, that was magical, we took this as a sign, that our eyes were finally open, we all went home on a high, and completely at peace with ourselves. The next day I got a phone call from HP 2, asking me, what the hell I was playing at, after he had finished shouting at me, and demanding to know what I was doing, I asked him what he was on about. He then told me, he’d had HPS on the phone at 2-00am that morning in a right state, saying that me and number 2 had stormed in her house, verbally abused her, trashed her house and stormed out again, I told him exactly what had gone on the night before, and said whether he believed me or not that’s what had happened, I really don’t care what he thinks to be honest.
