Working in a coven atmosphere has possibilities that are unavailable to the single worker. There is the unity of purpose that is brought to the fore by the energy that the group creates between them.  This group energy is missing from the solitary circle. 

As a solitary worker you are required to not only generate the energy source but to modulate it as well. There are no others to help with that channeling of power. You do have the ability to fashion your magic as needed and to quite literally do things at the drop of a hat rather than waiting until the group can come together in order to generate the needed energy. You can also create your circle however you like, using items that only you choose.  This can create a very personal circle of power.  Creating your magical place can be a wonderful experience. 

If we listen to the universal song of power and become aware of the actual power structure that we are tapping into, it then becomes clear that we are not alone after all.  There are others out there doing their work at small solitary altars in the midst of the night. 

Listen for the song of the Goddess and you will hear the chorus of voices that are raised in a single voice that works towards harmony and balance in this great world.  During both night and day there are many others working their magic just as you do, they too have times of loneliness and times of great joy.  The key is in the fact that you are not really alone in this wondrous work.  We who share space on this web of energy fields are blessed because we can reach so far outside ourselves, farther than anyone has been able to do before. 

Sing the silent song of praise to the God and Goddess, wait in the silent night to feel the thousands of souls that are doing their work just as you are.  Remember; "And it harm none do what you will."  These are true words, they set the stage for all that we do. 

Merry meet, and Merry part, and Merry meet again, so are the words of the great powers.
