Claire SchosserI'm delighted to announce that Claire Schosser has completed the course of study assigned to prospective ordinandas in the Universal Gnostic Church. As she received ex offico episcopal consecration in the UGC lineage when she became an Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America in 2019, and has since also qualified as a priestess in the Gnostic Celtic Church (a descendant of the UGC), I have formally confirmed her status as a priestess and bishop of the UGC. So there are now two of us.

I've known Claire for well over a decade now; she joined AODA back when I was still its Grand Archdruid; she was also a student of the Dolmen Arch system when I was teaching it personally as a correspondence course, and worked her way straight through that rather challenging course to the highest degree of Gwyddon Rhydd (Free Loremaster). I am very pleased to be able to confer on her this additional rank -- and the responsibilities that go with it.

Please join me in congratulating Bishop Claire!

I'm touched by your words. I do want to say, softly, that I prefer not to be addressed with humility. I'm just trying to do the best that I can in my own way, as I think most everyone is in their own way.

Thank you for your kind words! It is a great privilege and responsibility to serve as priestess and bishop in the UGC.

This morning, following the SOP and meditation but before I read your email, I made the usual daily three card draw from the SGO. I drew 29 Transcendence, 3 Extension, and 22 Alternation (reversed). If that isn't TSW, I don't know what is.

Dear JMG,
What kind of general idea do you have for the certifcations? Regarding Symbols and the technical side (Like Are you looking for someone who letters these things and sends it, Ort Are you looking for a template etc.)

Dear JMG,
I didn´t check on the screened comments mail-part so only got this message after new-year. Apologies. I hope you have found in on of the other two offers what you were looking for - I feel like I´m not the person to do this job.
Or to heavily misquote the Maitre d´ of La Frenai in WOH - "One day JMG I will be of help - [...] but this is not that day."
Best wishes for 2025!

I have no actual design or artistic skills but, out of necessity for my own projects, am at least an intermediate user of the Canva design website and can do something that is not terrible.

If you get a more talented offer, you should take it, but if you need something done that is passable, if a little cookie cutter, I can help.

I can put together a draft to send your way to see what you think. If you have any idea of what the text should say, let me know, otherwise, I can either take a stab at it or just do something with Lorem Ipsum text.

Cheers,

If I knew anything about designing anything I'd offer to do it, but I don't. My bardic skills run to music rather than art.

You've gotten a response, but if there is help still needed I ended up taking vacation from work next week. I could create a decorative motif as a frame for the text and send it over to whoever will put it together to be added on their software. If that is desired or helpful of course.

Congratulations

Thanks, Karen! I am looking forward to exchanging Healing Hands with you at MAGUS 2025! I've been practicing most days since we were at MAGUS 2024, so I hope that means I have improved my ability to wield the energies in a beneficial way.
