Let me show you who you really are. You're my comfort- you're not a superstar.
So let's get this started. I suppose that, rather than catalogue the minutia of my life over the last month, I'll just write about the big things that have happened.
FPG: Samhain was quite lovely this year. From what I remember, the workshops were nowhere near as good as they were at Beltane, but the fire dancing was perfectly magickal, as usual.
The real highlight of this period was Stephanie's Initiation. This was the biggest and most important ritual I've led since achieving my own Initiation two years ago, and despite some technical difficulties, it went quite swimmingly, with a few moments being both touching and hilarious- Stephanie's answers to the Guardian of the South come to mind here.
In the end, after being blindfolded, made to bleed, and to face self-doubt, Stephanie took the her new magickal name and the titles of Witch and Priestess.
Essentially, I spent the next three days just hanging out with my Witch family, which was not a bad way to spend three days. :)
Work: I'm beginning to really detest Designer Greens. It's become really super-super stressful recently, and to be honest, making salads for eight dollars an hour is not worth my sanity. I'm truly looking forward to my future post as a semi-stripper at Pulse.
Spirituality: My Wiccan life has been infinitely more active lately. I've been far more sensitive to energetic shifts around me than usual, and I think I've developed a bit of actual telepathy, which I will discuss more in-depth when I get to my Thanksgiving trip. Steph and I are having our very first Esbat (full moon) ritual on Wednesday, and I may introduce her to the rite known as Drawing Down the Moon, which involves the Priestess (or in our case, Priest) being intentionally possessed by the Goddess. Should be pretty awesome.
So I'm really tired right now. I'll post about Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Blessed Be.
