There's an end-of-life situation in my family now, and the person involved may

be interested in a memorial service that has Pagan elements. In any case I, as a Pagan, would be interested in finding some Pagan clergy in my area to help with this (talking to my mother, helping write a memorial service). I've gone to Witchvox over the years, but never got the hang of that site--kind of confusing to me. Is anyone aware of a priest or priestess in the Durham/Raleigh/Chapel Hill area who might be willing to meet with me for an hour or two? This is when being a solitary really has drawbacks.

1. Mist, I will contact a few people. The perfect person moved to Asheville recently...

but I'll check now and message you with any suggestions, based on personal recommendations.

2. Thank you. It's appreciated. I know there are folks in my area, but contacting them

is an issue. I don't see any "clergy" listings on Witchvox. Thanks for helping!

3. I will simply display my ignorance

and say that I would not myself have put the words pagan and clergy together in the same sentence. Guess this is just another example of how little I know about so many things.

But I do hope you find the person you need.
