Dear brothers and sisters,
it is my sad duty to inform you that our sister and my friend and spiritual companion of many years, Daraoi (Traci Sheckler) is passing away.
She is from Portland, Oregon, USA, and we met on the old OBOD boards in the year 2000. We were brand new Bards then and so we chose to walk through the grades together. We never met in person, but we corresponded on a daily basis and this way got to know each other quite closely. We completed the formal studies of the Order in 2004.
She was suffering from a rare sort of cancer for two and a half years now and seemed to fight against it quite successfully, but her state has suddenly deteriorated and doctors say that she will go on her journey to the Isles in the West during the next 24 hours.
I will accompany Traci with my prayers and I invite you to join me. May her passage be easy and peaceful, and may her suffering finally find an end. May the blessing of the gods, the ancestors and the spirits of nature shield her on her last journey.
Sometimes, there seems to be so little that we can do...
Eilthireach /|\.

Please say a prayer for Daraoi

Please speak a prayer for our sister and for her husband, who is suffering.
Thank you.

for Traci and all who know her"When there is prayer in the mind, there is purity in thought.
When there is purity in thought, there is kindness in the heart.
When there is kindness in the heart, there is service in action.
When there is service in action, there is harmony in the community.
When there is harmony in the community, there is unity in the nation.
When there is unity in the nation, there is peace in the world."
-Narayani Amma Sri Narayani Peedam

I will not change my horse with any that treads but on four pasterns........ When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk. He trots the air, the earth sings when he touches it, the barest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.

May Traci pass peacefully into the Summerlands, where perhaps she may continue to support us as one of the inner guides of the Order.
Blessings to her and her family, and those who have been touched by her light in life.

All truth goes through three steps:
First it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.

I am relatively new to this board and so hers is not a name familiar to me. But, as the old saying goes "Don't ask for whom the bell tolls..."
My thoughts and sympathy to her husband and family and to you Eilthireach - yuo have all clearly lost someone very dear to you.
May the Gods grant her an easy passage across the bridge and bring her invigoration and renewed strength for her return to this realm whenever she sees fit so to do.
Blessings
