Dear Water Kin,
As many of you are well aware, reorganizing the infrastructure of CAW has been a Herculean task. Many fabulous brothers and sisters have volunteered their time to evolve the corporate structure and web site, and each has been beset with its own difficulties.
Our CAW Membership process has been most adversely affected by an avalanche of technical difficulties; hence we have been unable to remind you when your membership was about to lapse, and almost all of your memberships have now lapsed! We have also been unable to accept new memberships.
To support CAW's rebirth, please submit a new membership application, or a renewal form Today! You can find links to all the applications forms that you need and fuller instructions here: http://www.caw.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=339&sid=67e1a0c6477962ca6258e3d3fcfec461
There are two ways to submit your application:
Remember that your CAW Membership entitles you to an annual trip around the Sun!!
Sincerely,
Kiara, CAW Membership Coordinator
As we continue the Rolling Thunder Rituals for Oberon's recovery, the focus is on Full Remission Please click the link above for all updates, including Oberon's future prognosis. Please see the "Magick" News and the "Rolling Thunder" forum for a schedule of the planned Rolling Thunder Rituals for healing.
On Wednesday, August 13th, we were made aware that Oberon Zell, co-Founder, Elder, Primate, and first Priest of CAW, recently underwent a colonoscopy. The result of the initial procedure was not what we had hoped for and expected. The doctors have found a golf-ball sized growth attached to the colon, which has been biopsied. On Thursday, August 14th, OZ had a meeting with his doctor, to discuss the results of the biopsy they did on the golf ball-sized tumor (lesion) they discovered. The Dr. advised them that the tumor is indeed cancerous, and colon cancer is aggressive and nasty. However, it is far enough up that it can be surgically removed along with about a foot of the descending colon (left side). He said that it appears to be less than a year old, so the chances of a complete removal of all cancerous tissue are excellent.
There is concern that some of the cancer cells may have migrated into OZ's lymph nodes, which would be a really serious problem, requiring radiation and chemotherapy. To help determine whether or not this may be the case, they took a few vials of blood for testing, and on Friday, August 15th OZ was scheduled for a CAT scan. The results of the blood work and the CAT scan are due on Thursday, August 21st, when OZ has an appointment with an abdominal surgeon to discuss upcoming surgery—which will be scheduled as soon as possible.
The best things about all this so far are that he caught this early enough that it should be completely operable; and at the same time, they’ll be able to repair an abdominal hernia which has been plaguing OZ for many years (perhaps a tummy-tuck as well).
However, the Dr also emphasized the importance of prayers and healing energy. Right now, to shrink and contain the tumor as much as possible, so that none of the cancer gets out into surrounding tissue or lymph nodes between now and the surgery. After OZ gets the results of the CAT scan and blood work, we'll try and update the site to let you know the status going into surgery. Then he’ll need all the healing energy he can get on the actual day of the surgery to ensure that everything goes perfectly.
OZ has asked that I thank you all for your love and magick! He is feeling our support already.
Please keep those candles lit, the prayers coming and pass this message along.
