Pentacle-running update
So, as I mentioned a while back, I've been trying different positions for running the Iron and Pearl pentacles in my daily practice. I spent a couple of weeks running them seated, putting the points in my head, shoulders, and hips. That seemed to be going really well, but I noticed I was pretty tightly wound a few days ago, and wondered if part of ( Read more... ) -
Questions
yezida asked: When someone asks "Who are you?" what do you answer?
Do you cultivate Being, or simply existence?
What is your wish?
When someone asks who I am, I say "I am Eelsalad" (well, with my real name, of course). If they asked "What are you?" I'd probably say "human in training." Or "an Aikido student" or "a Feri student" or "a writer" or "a ( Read more... ) -
Priorities
For a long, long time I have been an overachiever -- not just academically, but in general. When I have down time, I often feel vaguely guilty, like I should be doing things (an exception is made if I am exhausted from doing stuff).

Notes from Pantheacon! Part One
OMG I am so tired. Spent the long weekend at Pantheacon, which was awesome. I took Friday and Monday off, and was doing con stuff with only short breaks for food and sleep from midday Friday to midafternoon Monday. Now I am sickish (cold symptoms and a headache). Bleh ( Read more... ) -
Oh, my various gods.
I'm listening to Spirit Finders Radio Episode 20, where a Christian and a Pagan are going toe-to-toe. It's ridiculous. Neither of them seem to have much experience discussing their religion with someone who doesn't agree with them. It's really annoying. I've just started listening to the pagan's podcast (Serenity of Witch in the City) and she's ( Read more... ) -

Divine Twins
Man, I have been snowed under. Busy, kind of on the edge of being in a funk, and generally introverted. Feh. Hence the no posting.
This week I'm doing a lot of work with the Divine Twins - one of our assignments this quarter in yezida's class is to sit with the twins and ask to be shown our contradictions, and then sit with them. It is incredibly ( Read more... ) -
Feh
This time of year is always a trial for me. It brings things I love and hate in equal measure. Halloween (love), shorter days (hate - damn S.A.D.), Thanksgiving and Yule (love), familial holiday stress (hate). This year is being particularly difficult, hence my absence from posting. I am tired and unaccountably sad, and very, very stressed. Even ( Read more... )
