			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve come to the WitchGrotto website looking for a particular article, book review, or a booklist of recommended reading don&#8217;t panic &#8212; it will be back soon as I catch up on moving old content over to the new streamlined website.  Feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:webmaster@witchgrotto.com">webmaster@witchgrotto.com</a> to let me know what you&#8217;re looking for specifically and I&#8217;ll try to get that up sooner.</p>
<p>Note: As I add some of the older material I&#8217;ll be backdating the content to give a better indication when it was originally written.  Be sure to look back through the archives as older articles will appear over time.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the lessons I&#8217;ve learned as a Wiccan is that everything has its seasons.  There are beginnings, middles, and endings&#8230; and sometimes when we think it&#8217;s an ending it&#8217;s really just a new beginning.  Things will change whether we want them to or not.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.witchgrotto.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/phoenix-earth.jpg" rel="lightbox[13]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3" title="phoenix earth" src="http://www.witchgrotto.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/phoenix-earth-300x271.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="271" /></a>One of the lessons I&#8217;ve learned as a Wiccan is that everything has   its seasons.  There are beginnings, middles, and endings&#8230; and   sometimes when we think it&#8217;s an ending it&#8217;s really just a new   beginning.  Things will change whether we want them to or not.</p>
<p>Over the years the WitchGrotto site has grown, expanded, and become   more complex.  Unfortunately that includes the software that was needed   to run things on the web host.  As the internet has grown we&#8217;ve also  had  a proliferation of malicious users who derive pleasure in damaging  or  wrecking other people&#8217;s websites.  The more complex a website is and  the  more visibility it has the more likely it is to be targeted by   hackers.  WitchGrotto has not been immune to this negative attention.</p>
<p>The hackers have not won &#8212; WitchGrotto still lives and will become   even better!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided for now to keep the site stripped down to basics.  It   will still be a content-rich site focusing on providing practical   information for modern Pagans, Witches, and occultists.  It will  be   regularly updated with new material to keep things fresh.  The site will   focus on its strong points rather than trying to include lots of extra   features. There&#8217;s no need to make the site more complex and an easier   target for hackers.</p>
<p>So have a look around at the new leaner WitchGrotto.  If there&#8217;s   something that you are missing please let me know (by <a href="mailto:webmaster@witchgrotto.com">emailing</a> or by leaving a comment) as I can point you to   where you can find what you&#8217;re looking for either on this site or   another one on the internet.  I promise to work hard to make WitchGrotto   into a valuable resource with relevant practical information for  people  practicing magickal spiritual paths.</p>
<p>Blessed be, WitchGrotto visitors!</p>
