Imbolc and stuffs...
Hello everyone, I'm back with pictures of my Imbolc altar. I was quite crafty this Sabbat, so I had some nice things to set on it, all of them in the miniture form, because my space is so limited. Though I did switch out my other altar space for a larger one this time, so it wasn't so cramped. I went with the white theme, with a bit of green and yellow. I made a dolly, from raffia, a priapic wand from a oak twig and acorn, a Brigid's Cross from raffia, a Brigid's Crown from a mini grapevine wreath, fake flowers and evergreen, and ribbon, with white birthday candles, and then a Brigid's Bed, from a small basket, ribbons, more flowers, and a piece of checkered cloth.
A close up of the Goddess and God representations.
All ready and tucked in.
The Crown.
The Cross.
Overhead view. I also made a God and Goddess doll to go on my altar at all times.
You can't really read it, but it was a poem I found online, called, "Bride of the Earth" about Brigid, that I read during the ritual.
Sorry I haven't been around much, things have been busy, and crazy, and just...blargh. I had a nasty ass cold for well over a week, the icky head/synus/chest kind, with all kinds of snot and coughing and sneezing, and general very unpleasantness.
Then I've started up rehearsals for another play, it's the first in the series of three about the Futrelle family. We did "Christmas Belles" out of order in December, and now we are going back and doing, "Dearly Beloved" I get to play the same character as before, G.J Dubberly, but then I have a twin sister, T.J, who is very different, and getting married, and while G.J..is a major tool..or at least I think she is, T.J gets to be goth, and a bit 'trashy'. So that should be fun. Though I am so exhausted with being sick, and just finishing the last play and doing stuff to get the new house done, that it is hard for me to be excited about it. Especially when Simon won't get to be here for it in April. We are both utterly crushed about it, but I felt that I needed to do it.
Simon and I are still doing wonderfully...except for the part where he still isn't fucking over here yet. *sighs* We just can't hardly stand it. We're both checking flights everyday, I'm hoping to go over in May and June for a month, and then he wants to come here another so we can have a summer together, in probably the end of June through July. Still not really any progress on the immigration, it is mostly due to needing the money for the first form, which is just fucking outrageous...in 2005 the filing fee was $95...now it is $445....*shakes head in disbelief*
I've been working on getting my license, we got behind before when he came over, but now I NEED IT..FUCKING NEEEEED IT!! I can't stand it anymore, I've had major meltdowns recently about it, so my parents are having me drive around all this week, and then taking me on Wednesday for the test. Then that would allow me to drive to and from rehearsal that night, instead of driving there with my mom, and then getting another ride home....I'm sick of feeling like a ride moocher...Ron (director and friend) says that he doesn't mind, and he is the one that offers them, but still.
I think that is all for now...I'll try to make it in here more than I have. I'm really making an effort to not become distracted from LJ anymore. :)
Love you guys,
Sarah
