I've decided to begin a new ritual/tradition for my afternoon breaks: teatime ( Read more... )

I performed my ritual to Hekate last Sunday (5/20).  As I was writing it, I was moved to change a few fairly general things, like the meditation questions, to more specific ones, so I did.  Then I went out into my new garden; it was a beautiful day, and just felt like the RIGHT time to do this.  (I didn't even know about the solar eclipse until the ( Read more... )

I've decided to do a ritual with Hekate, not to ask Her what I should DO or to show me the road(s) I should take, but to ask Her what I should ask for and/or look for in order to find my own road(s).

I have a feeling that's the kind of thing She appreciates once in a while.

Some thoughts occurred to me as I've been moving my garden from the community gardens to the new space behind our apartment ( Read more... )

I just realized I've been reading all my friends' posts, but I haven't posted anything this year yet.  So in the spirit of fair play, here is my first post of 2011 ( Read more... )

I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've posted anything here; almost a month, just after the Flood in my ritual room.  Wow, I really did withdraw THAT much into myself.  Okay, time to come back to the land of the living, which is fitting since I rededicated my ritual room last night, on the first night of Dark Moon ( Read more... )

Got my pedometer and also a yoga exercise mat yesterday.  The pedometer is rather fun; it counts your steps so you can see how much you walk (or don't) during the day, which should be interesting.  The mat is for self-preservation when doing exercises that require me to lay on the floor.  We have a perfectly good carpet, but the mat will protect my ( Read more... )

Martin finally got his latest MRIs (or CT scans, I keep mixing them up) done, on his neck this time, and took them to his pain doctor.  It seems that the 'home base' for the shoulder pain that comes and goes in different places is actually C-5, which is damaged right around a nerve bundle that (why am I not surprised?) contains nerves going around ( Read more... )

Isn't it odd how it's so easy to find the time to read books about how to practice one's spiritual path, but much more difficult to find time to actually practice it? I've noticed this tendency in myself lately, and am wondering why. You'd think I'd be impatient to get through the reading and go out and DO it, but for some reason I keep ( Read more... )
