Return to Phae

Ok, so website update is mostly done. I am currently working on the new additions to the BoS. I have to write up my Apple visualisation (I'll be putting it up for the C&P crowd before I put it up on the site), and I think I want to write an article as well ... maybe about tools or about the symbolism of the apple.

I worked on Jet's Lessons a bit today, too. Luckily, that I am finding that a lot of my list can be compiled under  larger headings, so I should only have about three or four left. I am gonna take on the hard one later this week (or next weekend).

The weather was gorgeous on Saturday ... kind of cloudy and cold yesterday, and back to gorgeous again this afternoon. I am betting it will be beautiful all the rest of the week because I have to be inside

I have discovered what might be causing my plants to be dying off this year. Apparently, you aren't supposed to water your plants with tap water anymore because of anti-bacterial agents which kill all the bacteria in the soil. So, that sucks hard. I am gonna pick up some plant food in the hopes that I haven't done too much damage to them.

That is about all for now. Tomorrow will be my first day of work out of training. So that is pretty exciting

The pink hair thing didn't work very well.  It ended up looking a bit like paste, so I am now on the look out for pink permanent dye so that I can put in real streaks.  I will not be thwarted!  LOL  Surprisingly enough, pink isn't all that easy to find.  Red, purple, orange are everywhere, but pink - no so much.

I still have a packet of blond dye.  I think I am going to put in light highlights in the mean time while I search the city for the pink.  Now that I think about it, I figure I probably should start working on the outline of my 'Glamour' article.  And maybe write up an update on my self-image spell (and maybe a plan to renew/recharge it).

That is about all that is on my mind right now.  It has been a very lazy day for me.  The days are starting to have that feeling of summer vacation.  I miss that.  Time to visit the farm markets and the local wineries.

These are mostly Feri-related, but I wanted to get them down somewhere that I wouldn't lose them:

The Faery Teachings - Orion Foxwood
Fundamentals of Hawaiian Mysticism - Charlotte Berney
Celtic Mysteries : A Fire in the Head - Tom Cowan

Side note(s): I did finish my article. Now I am going to go outside and enjoy the day before I start typing it out and polishing it (polishing being defined as 'making it make sense to someone other than me').

Also, I have been thinking the last few days on my own, apparently legendary, patience. I am thinking that there is something to that that needs to be explored ... maybe an lj post later with my thoughts (assuming I come up with any).

Anyhoos ... have a happy day everyone! It is beautiful and sunny here, and I am going to go and have a slurpee (I figure one won't wreck my diet).

Moving right along ... the essay. Well, I have done lots of these, but I have ideas for lots more. Maybe something that is a bit more controversial for this one ... some ideas I have so far:

Karma - the new age cop out
Pagans and Politics - is there a place for us
The Pierced Pagan - shunning the modern primitive
Organic Pagans - can we give up our chemical dependence?
Better to Light a Single Candle - some thoughts on being a pro-active Pagan
The Spiral of Lives - my thoughts on reincarnation
Far Sight - some thoughts on the nature of prophecy and divination
Pagans and Hate - when counter culture becomes a smokescreen for prejudice

Any votes? These will all eventually get written, and I am sure I can think of some other issues that could use a good exploring (Wiccan Laity comes to mind), but this is a short list of ones I have been wanting to dive into.
