Best to do this in the sun. Ground and center.

"Hail Isis
Lady cloaked with the veil of the sun
Whose warmth coaxes forth the green grass
Whose light illuminates the Earth
Let us live in luminance
Lady of fire and light!"

I don't believe in gods or goddesses. I don't believe _in_ anything.
Having said that, I think they do exist...sort of.
I think they're more of a thought form, built up over centuries of belief and worship. They have no independent
existence from us. Cease the worship and belief, and the thought form will, over time, dissipate and be no more.

I've had the following in a notebook for a lot of years. It's a rhyming bit of English folk wisdom. No author, no copyright. If you like it, copy it. It's about trees, but actually more about wood.

Oak logs will warm you well,
That are old and dry;
Logs of pine will sweetly smell
But the sparks will fly.

Birch logs will burn too...

It's not the _place_ so much, it's the religion. You know, not-christian. Can't have a Pagan public school teacher, for instance. And a Pagan parent going thru a divorce? Lots of misinformation and downright lies out there, you know.

I know it's the religion of the thing... it's just frustrating. Besides, I'm pretty sure the place is pretty open about religions - I mean, I wouldn't get kicked out for being Christian, right?

But it still makes me hopping mad that religion is still a huge issue!

Why wait for the weather to clear up? Storms have fabulous energy! (Storm nut - so definitely biased here)

Nah, you'd not get kicked out for bein xian, as long as you minded your manners. One of the founding members, Terry Kok, calls himself a "Christian Witch." I never asked him to explain that, but it works for him.
He's not with Elf anymore, he's gone off on his own. Google him, he's an interesting guy. Actually, I dunno what Google will turn up about him. May not be all _that_ interesting!
Hasn't been _storming_, just raining. The other thing is, I can't see the stones anymore...the grass has covered 'em up. Normally, I'd use a Weedwhacker to uncover them, but it tends to throw the dirt. Not bad when it's dry, but now...I really don't want to throw mud! I'll just go out there with a garden trowel and _gently_ uncover them.
I'm done for today. smile

I like dragons. I don't see them as evil beings, more like powerful elementals, and they're willing to work with humans and be a companion or a familiar. Or even a guardian when the need arises.
Try http://www.dancingdragondesigns.com for all things dragon. I got a beautiful dragon ring from them some years ago that I still wear. Also look for "Dancing With Dragons," by D.J.Conway...

Walk the spiral more often, to swoosh up the energy? Wow, that _does_ make perfect sense to me.
Good one! I wasn't sucessful with the pendulum, maybe I didn't give it enuff tme. I also have a pair of dowsing rods to try. I can see the handles from here, I just have to find the rods! The rods are bent copper rods, with quartz crystals crusted on the ends, and they move freely in the handles. Got 'em from a catalog.
It'll wait 'til I come back, tho. Damn, what _did_ I do with those rods? lol Well, they'll turn up.
Have a good week!
bittersweetdream:
I'm so glad that actually made sense to you! haha!

Y'know, I have a very hard time with pendulum and dowsing rods, so you have my respect for having them in your arsenal at all! The rods sound really pretty, though, at the very least. wink

Hope you're having a wonderful time!!!!

Why are skinnies skinny? I wrote about this in the group, "Skinny Boys and Proud". (Nathara, if you're reading this, you might like that group. A lot of those guys prefer 'curvy' women.) Anyway.
Skinnys are skinny 'cos their digestive system is inefficient. That's why they can eat whatever and not gain weight. Much of the food nutrients just go to waste. What can they...

Hey, Joe! Thanks for the information - I think I'm gonna check that group out! Now if only I were a pepper-fiend and could try cutting it out.... Haha.
bittersweetdream:
Oooh, I hadn't thought of that, but it makes perfect sense, especially with some of the stuff she was saying. It's my fault, too, I was totally caught off guard - next time it happens I'll try to bring in some of that energy and see what happens after that.

Haha - I'll let you know what happens. wink

Just finished working, out in the yard. Well, the side yard. The maple tree on the street puts out lots of seeds every year. There were _lots_ of volunteer seedlings to pull out. Lots. I just squatted down and started pulling.
All of that squatting (and bending over) pushed the poop out of me. I had to take several poop breaks before I was done....

LOL ... I have to remember that one. Squatting for constipation ... I think I just pissed my pants laughing biggrin

bittersweetdream:
Yup! Squatting is great for that - so are belly rolls, if you're ever having trouble. I teach belly dance and can tell you just about everyone hits the bathroom after class. Not glamorous, but....

I just watched some of the movie, King Kong. The newest one. It was exciting to watch Kong fight the dinosaurs and stuff. But...bring him back to New York City? Why? To prove human superiority over Nature?
Such hubris (look it up) always gets us in trouble. With predictable results. Hated the movie.
King Kong died for your sins.

Ha! Well said!
