Shark Week

Shark Week is this week! I missed tonight's episode, but I watched yesterday's. Though, it's rather early for Shark Week, which normally airs during the last week of August. Lol, perhaps the Discovery Channel knows how I need to get my biological clock back in working order, and so they have presented a Shark Week for me that I will still be up to watch, as I'm waking up at 8:30 this week.

Tomorrow's the full moon; I really want to honor this esbat. I've only ever "officially" done it once, at the last new moon with Rachel and Emmie (though it's not the first time I've admired the moon; and I suppose you could say sneaking out of Anna's house because you can't sleep to sit on the deck and talk and sing to the full moon for nearly an hour could be considered honoring an esbat). I'll not be doing any fancy ritual or, like last time, a spell (at least, probably not; you never know what might strike my fancy), just simply lighting a white canlde and sitting in the garden spending time with my mother, the Goddess.

Well, anyway, I'm typing this blindly; I'm too lazy to retrieve my glasses from my nightstand (I had been attempting sleep). While that doesn't in the slightest hinder my typing ability, it's pretty annoying, and I'm awfully tired, so I'm going to get some sleep. :)

Perhaps in the morning I'll make a second blog, one for my spirituality alone, where I'd write my spells, rituals, prayers, etc. A "Blog of Shadows" so to speak, hahaha.

Blessed Lughnasadh!

Merry meet! Today is August 1st, the day we witches celebrate Lughnasadh, the sixth Sabbat of the Wheel of the Year. This is the first of the three harvest festivals. We are halfway between Fire and Water, and nearing the end of summer.

I have almost reached a full year of my official study of Wicca. I'm so excited :) I have learned so much in the year that felt so long and yet flew by. It seems like only yesterday I was sitting in this very chair texting Adam ideas about using banishment spells (which, truly, I just pulled straight out of my ass) to get rid of the evil spirit that seemed to be possessing him (I had a mild paranoia of fairies back then; I've since realized that Adam is probably schizophrenic). It was near the end of August 2008 (which, I just realized, is actually very funny; it was a waning moon at the time, the perfect time for banishments), and the idea just came to me. I searched the internet for spells, and my old interest in Wicca that I'd stuffed away since it was born when I was ten sparked. I did some research, went out and bought a book.... and here I am.

Despite not being allowed to freely express my faith, due to the fact that my mom did not know and my boyfriend Marc told me not to, I have grown tremendously. I dumped that boyfriend last week (even though I should've dumped him last month) and now I feel freer and like I can change and grow however I'm meant to.

Though it's quite funny how the reason why I've finally found my spiritual path is because of that dumbshit, Adam. There's one good thing about our summer experience. Lol.

Blessed Lughnasadh. :]
