Early Moring Griping
Yeah, so its 7 am almost, and the dog got me up at 6, and now I cant get back to sleep.. it takes me hours to get back to sleep and I have to be up soon anyway, so I figured I might as well post....
My Family will be having their second Samhain celebration this weekend. (This is my coven family, of course, my birth family is relentlessly Episcopalian) and I can't be there. Oh, i celebrated Samhain here at home, of course, but its not the same. I really prefer coven work for major holidays. probably why I went in the direction that I did... Just why does my Coven Family have to live so far away?
I have more stuff I could do by myself, but I dont usually, since I can't practice anything seriously with my husband around, he tends to interrupt, and anything thats "Wicca only" is out of the question, of course...
>but I digress...<
My husband is , well.. he ranges between "understanding" and "tolerant" I suppose, he's one of those "I'm Christian, really..." types. You know, has all the books and the magazines and the religious music, but never actually goes to a service or anything. I guess I can sympathize, being raised as a Preacher's Kid I got sick of church, but I didnt go around collecting religious literature, other than comparative religion stuff. I suspect I would deal better if he would either stop with the whole Christian theology stuff, and get the blasted magazines and books out of my face, or get on with it and go to a church or something.
Anyway back on topic....We are having a second Samhain celebration because the big one, which my coven was NOT running, was.. hmm.. what can I say that is "public"... hmm.. ok, not much..... just trust me it was BAD!
Bad enough that the only thing I could say about it the next day was "Pity, I was hoping to have a Samhain celebration.." You guys all know I don't like to gripe about things that much, but several days later my main thought is "Praise the Gods that I went to some other things, because if it was just the Samhain circle that would be a waste of my trip...."
The problem is there are some political divisions (in Paganism and Wicca? no.. say it isnt so...) in the groups out there, so any negative comments from MY Family are likely to get blown off into the "Oh, thats just personal/ sour grapes/ etc" or lead to yet another rift in our comunity. I really hate personal politics.
And on the political note....
Do you think they are going to arrest anyone for "voting wrong" oh.. pardon me.. i mean for "terroristic speach and anti Goverment activities". Do the folks in congress and the senate not have a spine at all? I mean, how much blackmail material can anyone have on them?.. wait.. maybe that *is* the answer....
This is a public post, so any non public replies should wait for my locked post, or go to me directly.. Kirsten at fabricdragon dot com
and yeah, i get sarcastic and cranky first thing in the morning, BT (Before Tea)
