Frohliche Geburtstag!!! Have a great day!! Don't get TOO drunk!

Ah, thank you!! That makes a bit more sense now.

Thanks for that, Nephele. So, how was ignoring the chicken-omen considered detracting from the emperor's power?

What is perduellio?

True that, LOL. Morrigan and Jupiter keep me very busy.

I'm only 19...I THINK I was still in high school when I reached Patrician status. I've been here for years.

A nun? No thanks! It's celebRate, not celibate! Why have one God when you can have many?

Wow it's been a long while since I wrote something in here! I'm really starting to enjoy my work, not that I wouldn't rather be home, but because I don't have anything to worry about when I come home. It's wonderful! My boss switched my hours this week, so I start at 6 AM and get out at 12 PM...not bad, not bad at all. I have the whole afternoon off. Life has been crazy though, not so much on a physical level but on a spiritual one. I'm not complaining but I could do with a break sometimes. With Samhain fast approaching it only promises to get crazier!! Just ordered a bunch of beads from Fire Mountain, well actually, will send the order in soon. I can't wait until they get here, I have a few ideas for jewelery which I can't wait to make!! The harp playing isn't going as well as I'd hoped, I seem to have lost interest while I was getting all of the issues straightened out. However, I hope to get some time to play soon. This weekend promises to be devoted entirely to rest, laying around on the couch, screwing around on the computer...etc. I'll have the whole house to myself and I'll NEED the rest, so I can't wait. I have been fluish all day (and unfortunately this is upsetting my stomach). I certainly hope I feel better tomorrow!! I don't want to call off work, as I know my coworkers need me to be there, and I actually like them, so I'd hate to disappoint. Flu or no, I'm going through with my Full Moon rite tonight. It should only take about a half an hour...consists only of chanting, really and some 'basic' energy work. And a journal entry which I'm doing as soon as I'm done here. Not stressful at all, and even though I'm sick it is important to me to keep up with it.

Except that you posted that twice! It's behaving a little better, since I made that post.

It was down too. Emailed PP don't know if he got it. Still having some problems, it's far slower than usual making it difficult for me to do anything (this is my third try to see this topic). Moon? Help?

Actually I don't have a thing at this point. Most of my stuff was on my old comp, which is currently sitting unused with a half fried hard drive. I do have an artpiece or two floating around (not very historically accurate...and one that is funny but not accurate at all...)

LOL!!!!!

Psyche!

No, no bulls, LMAO I don't know where I would acquire them...or how I would clean up the mess. That poem is BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you so much for finding it!

OK, I'll give that a shot. I'll also be doing a bit of Googling today.

I'm putting this here because I'm looking for information in a modern context not necessarily historical info (historical info not unwelcome!!). If it'd be better off in the Templum Romanae forum anyway someone please move it? Thanks!! I know there are several Roman pagans floating around the board and I have a question for you guys: Have any of you worked with Mithras? I've recently taken an interest in him (and yes, I know, I'm female ) but can't find any information from modern pagans as he seems to be one of the "lost" gods who really doesn't have much of a following anymore. "UPG" ('unverified personal gnosis') information welcome as well.

Some. Not as much as I would like, but I've been busy, and I sort of lost interest while waiting for the new one to arrive. I hate how that works out.

They wouldn't have done it because of the cost of armor, because, the armor was provided by the state, and paid for by deductions from the soldiers' salary. I have heard of this, but I don't think it was common, and I'm not sure when/where/why it was done.

*sings* happy birthday to you!! Happy birthday to you! *dodges tomatoes* OK, maybe not with the singing. Have a good one anyway!!

I found the Japanese painting far more confusing than erotic.

I would love to see that.

I have a friend over in Scotland who is convinced I'm actually Texan (I've never set foot anywhere NEAR Texas and have never lived outside of PA)

I do believe that Epona was worshiped in Rome, however I have no idea if she is the *only* Celtic goddess to have been adopted by the Romans. I do know that in the provinces Celtic and Roman practices were often blended, however that was in areas where the Celtic deities were already being worshiped. Dis Pater is the Roman equivalent to Hades. I believe Dis started out in Rome, and then may have been adopted by the Celts. The only information I have found linking Dis Pater to the Celts has been what I consider "severely unreliable" (could also be described as an information train wreck) and did not link Dis Pater to the underworld at all, but heralded him as a Father God.

She's here, and in good condition. There is a small odd mark in the finish however that can be remedied with some furniture polish and I'm not worried about it. I'm not tuning her a lot at one time, giving the strings and frame some time to "rest" in between, hoping to avoid undue stress on her.

Yummy Why not raise them in captivity specifically for eating?
