may they be with you always
A triplicate of related things.
I. My altar for Yellow, before it comes down tonight.
At the very front, winding_path's Christmas gift bearing the word Peace. At the middle is a small prayer book from Korea, which you write your prayer on and leave it inside. To its left and right glamourkin's reading delight in gentle pleasures and at the threshold of ever after.
Around those, from the center middle is my first and most beloved Ganesh statue. To his right and left two different types of yellow stones, a large chunk of something (which the name is escaping me at present), and a tiny beautiful citrine, from songtoisis and many beloved others at the Midsummer Faerie Celebration.
Behind it is my tiny focal point dedicated to Hope & I, which was shifted to the back of Yellow's altar from the first start. It has my very first chalice, small and clear glass, filled with the yellow petals of a trio of roses Hope gave me for my birthday in the spring, which hold a delightful little Buddha inside then.
While at the base of chalice there is a trio of important tokens related to it all: a spell star flower made with her, the heart token from Heart Chakra Path and one from Sacred Well's Convention.
II. That thing I'm trying not to think on.
I was supposed to finish my work with Yellow in the space of December, because I had it perfectly planned out to the mark. Down to being able to finish Yellow and all of the Temple of Twelve reverence in review on the very last day of 2010. Specifically. So that it could be part of the things I said my farewells and thanks to on that day.
Which did not happen when I had to fold my plans away to entertain someone else, who very little made the sacrifice worth the choice on that day. In a lot of ways this is my greatest 'personal choice' disappointment with the weekend. The one thing that if I could go back would be changed instantly. That I would have kept for me, as I did with little these past days.
I keep trying to convince myself it shouldn't matter. It was only three extra days, even if it does put Yellow in having been done during two different months and Temple of Twelve in three different year numbers. That I, myself, as well as Lady Yellow, know that I was prepared to be finished and intended to be done at the appointed time. I simply had more adversity between myself and getting there than i could have predicted.
I'm just...still frustrated at the details.
And last but far from least --
III. Today with the close of my time with Lady Yellow, I complete the full circuit of my first path with the Temple of the Twelve. But only the first, for I am so aware, that their many hands are ready and waiting to hold mine for so many path's to come.
It has been an incredibly moving and deeply beautiful learning experience and I would suggest it to anyone who has an interest or curiosity or a love for color magic. And my heart overflows with love for My Lady Little Flame, who became My Dear Friend, Essie, who opened her heart forth to bring us all such inspiration.
Blessed be the Circle of the Twelve, and blessed am I who reside in its center.
