Earning my name

[Windsmith]

In September of 2004, I took the Pagan name Windsmith as a promise to myself, to my community, and to Mystery - a vow of what I would become.

Today, I handed in the last assignment for the last class of Minnesota West Community and Technical College's windsmith certificate program. Anything that's left is bureaucratic minutiae. All that I can do in this program, I have now done.

Today, I have earned my name. I am Windsmith the Windsmith.

Congrats on completion of the program.

I've got to ask though what is a windsmith if you don't mind? My mental picture is of one who works with windmills and wind driven power sources but I don't know if that is correct.

That is pretty cool! Congratulations!

I grew up in the US Windmill capitol and they've always fascinated me. Not quite the same as wind energy towers, but related. If you're ever wanting of windmills and are in Illinois, there's a little place called Batavia that used to have more windmills than people. Boring place now overrun by urban sprawl, but still lots of windmills.

I hope you have many fine years of windsmithing, Windsmith.

Cheers all 'round! :-DAnd beers all 'round, too! :achug:

Oh, Windsmith, I think I love you, especially if you just buy me beers ;) (I'm joking it doesn't have to be beer, JD, Smirnoff Ice, shots, etc ;)!).

But congrats on passing your course, even though from what you've mentioned in the LGBT thread, it was hard and you had a really bad professor (the one who told you to do a report on chapters you hadn't read yet), you still succeeded.

Congrats and good luck with your future career :cheers: :hugz:.
