OAΘH
OAΘH (oath) is composed of four letters: Omicron, Alpha, Theta, Eta. See the correspondences from the Olympian Oracle and remember them in all your Hellenic oaths:
OMICRON: There are no crops to be reaped that were not sown.

Blessing Rite
Tonight my friend Heather and I gathered to do a blessing rite to Hestia, Eunomia, and Hecate. I borrowed prayers and deity invitations from Ceisiwr Serith's A Pagan Ritual Prayer Book and I feel like they added a very appreciated sprinkling of reality to the ritual.

Looking forward..
Tomorrow is 11/11/11 and I can't lie, I do believe it's going to be a good day! I'll be performing a "Child's Wish" ritual, embracing the inner child that was never afraid to do what he wanted and to believe in what he believed in.

Question to ADFers
I submitted my intention letter for the IP the other night, and I admit I'm a little excited. Now that school is on a hiatus I have more free time to clean up around the house, get back to cooking, prepare for the holidays (so much garland...) and time to read. I got back into Ted Andrews' "Animal Speak" and I forgot how much I enjoy his writing ( Read more... ) -
Nature
Tonight me and my friend Jimmy went walking around his farm again. There were coyotes howling at the moon, it was really something to hear first-hand. It didn't scare me, but when the cow that I didn't realize was so close moo'd at me I did jump a little bit.
