Green Dragon and a Wedding

Well, I'm back safe and sound in PA. I really missed Pennsylvania, and any thoughts I once had of moving out west are now completely gone. I love this place.

 

Yesterday we went to Green Dragon...it's a HUGE flea market both indoors and outdoors. It's enormous. I didn't buy anything but a sno cone and a pretzel, but I had a good time just checking everything out.

 

This afternoon my cousin is getting married. It's going to be so weird that Becky is going to be a Pearson instead of a McJilton! Ack! :D I'm really happy for her though; I hope she and her new husband are very happy. I made her a vase full of silk flowers for a wedding gift, and painted their names, and the date they will be married on it.

 

I've come to the conclusion that my family has figured out that I'm Pagan, but are ignoring it. I'm not going to rock the boat and bring it up, they are rather Fundamentalist Christian (I wouldn't go so far as to call most of them "Fundy"...at least, if they were once, they've mellowed out quite a bit).

 

The other day I officially dedicated myself to Morrigan. I've been dedicated to her for years, I just did it officially in ceremony the other day. Short, to the point, and spontaneous. I'm not sure why exactly she wanted me to do it but I did it anyway. Half the time I have no clue why gods want me to do things.

 

I wrote a few more posts for Love, Hope and Life and I put in a table of contents. Breaks things up into slightly different categories and lists every post on the same page. It was a pain, now I'm just going to have to remember to update it every time I write a new post. I'm working on getting everything "set up" and then I'm going to initiate myself....on the surface it seems like an initiation is rather pointless, but it feels like the right thing to do. Plus, I want the experience of how ritual initiations work so that if I'm ever working on one for someone else, I'm not "flying blind". If I'm going to screw it up or have some sort of unforeseen undesired consequence, I want it to happen to me and not someone I'm working with.

 

Today I finally was able to speak to my friend, who is having a very rough time of it. It's a huge load off my mind to hear from her that she's doing quite well. I am still worried about her, and have been for some time; but it was nice knowing that she's alive and well, and that the prospects for her future are indeed bright.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to New Hope and it promises to be an excellent day!! I'm going to get some Dragon's Blood oil (real thing, and scented. Not the fake stuff I have now, or alternately the stuff that has no scent) and a set of Rune stones. I have been looking for the Runes but haven't found them yet, I know where I will probably get them. They're calling me, I think I'm ready for them now. :)

I'm glad you have returned and are content.

 

I have come to the opposite conclusion of you: I tire of Pennsylvania, or at least the southwest part of it. No jobs, no culture, no one worth knowing (aside from immediate relatives). I honestly might move West or South in the coming years.

 

Congratulations on your dedication to Morrighan. I really know little about those shadowy Irish deities, but if you're happy then I'm happy for you.

hope it is not Morrighan as "washer of bloody clothes " (Nemain) that is your primary tutelary deity...you seem to be more Babdh (babe even), passing over the battlefield as a valkyrie.

 

 

I am the beginning

I am the end

I am life

I am death

I am war

I am peace

I bring forth life

and I take it away

 

My voice it is that is heard over the battlefield

My spirit it is that drives men to victory...or defeat!

I am the keening of women over their dead sons and mates.

I am the bringer of souls to the Summerlands

Wary be the warrior who seeth me washing in the ford his clothes stained in blood...for he shall know me soon enough!

 

I bring about change to the static life

I bring courage and passion to the heart

I inspire priestess and warrior alike

 

In some places, I am called: Macha, Minerva, Babdh Catha, Nemain, Kali, Athena

Know me...I am the Dark Goddess!

Ursus: I live in the eastern part of PA. My dad's is more east central or southeast (is east central a correct term?) but I actually live in the northeastern PA. There aren't a lot of jobs or people where I live, but I still love it. Gets lonely and difficult sometimes though.

 

Pantagathus: I LOVE that poem!! Where on earth did you find it??

 

Being a hard polytheist, I'd have to disagree with the last bit, but the rest is pure gold!

OOps Pertinax I accidentally called you Pantagathus. I should refrain from posting when I'm tired, sorry about that.

 

GPM: I'm not entirely sure yet. I haven't written the ritual out yet at all; there's still a lot of work to be done before I get to that point!
