LJ Idol Season 7 Week 15 - Whirlpool

Feb 26, 2011 01:27

o/` "There was a swirling mass of water
That lived in a quiet pond
It asked permission from its master
To visit the lands beyond
And its master allowed it to fly
So the wind swept the
whirlpool across the sky
And it had the idea to fly' o/`

A wonderfully fun posting. I loved it. Well done.

It is also, unfortunately, true to the best of my ability to tell it. Loki laid a claim early on me and the harder I resisted, the worse it got. I know now he was trying to get me away from the ex and get me to come into my own, but I didn't come easily.

Those love and light ideals are difficult to give up and so are the ingrained Christian motifs of dark and chaos equaling evil.

black and red are also Esu/Elgua/Legba's colors. ;) I mention it only because I know you've attracted his attention lately too

walkertxkitty February 28 2011, 04:07:15 UTC

I have...but I wore black and red long before I met him.

It goes without saying, though, that I tend to attract the trickster gods. I keep expecting my universe to implode some time.

One of the magnets I have on my fridge says, "We Plan... God Laughs!" And isn't that the truth... we think we know what's going on... but sometimes that's just inviting trouble.

On a somewhat related note, my mom has a beagle/basset mix that she never did come up with a good name for, so his name is just "Dog." She'll tell her friends about "My dog, Dog" and they think she's nuts. They're probably right. :)

I evidently didn't completely learn my lesson because now I have two dogs with similar personalities instead of one.

The ultimate plan did work out, just not the way I'd thought it would. Looking back, I can see the grand design but back then it seemed like a real pain in the rump.

Haha! I like how you mixed ideas about spirituality with a real sense of playfulness here. "Loki's lingam!" is my new favorite swear!

With chaos and tricksters, you either learn to play and laugh or they will tease you mercilessly until nothing is left but tears.

I love that particular phrase, which I picked up from heathens on the Renn Faire circuit. My other favorite is "Baldur's Balls".

*snicker* I've attracted that particular being's attention one too many times before. My ex hubby thought it was hilarious.

walkertxkitty February 27 2011, 05:21:16 UTC

It's only funny afterward, or when you're not the recipient.

Loki ended up being one of my primary deities. The rest of what happened was rather private and I didn't care to write it down. The dog himself came to a rather Lokean end. When my ex and I were getting divorced he refused to give me the dogs. Loki and Brighid got into the neighbor's sheep. The sheriff was only going to fine us and let us have the dogs. My ex, because I wanted the dog, ordered the sheriff to shoot him right in front of me.

Very true!

:( Your ex is really a piece or work. I'll keep hoping that at some point he really got what was coming to him.

walkertxkitty February 27 2011, 21:03:55 UTC

He hasn't...yet. At some point in time I expect he will and I'll say no more about that except that it's useful to have someone who works for a federal agency.
