Magickal Circle

Another weekend gone by and it’s Monday. A cloudy rainy one at that and I am ready for a nap. Can’t very well take one at work now can I? Oh to curl up about now. Mmmmm.

Spent the weekend planting some more flowers and trying to make the back yard look nice. We are actually growing grass at this point. I find this exciting since we have been trying for years to grow grass there but it was always too shady. I was quite excited when I saw how long the stuff that germinated is. It’s these little things that mean so much. I love the plants and green stuff. I think the Goddess would be proud of us!

I spent Sunday getting an order ready for some jewelry components as I am making some jewelry and plan to sell it. I’ve made some chandalier crystal earrings that are quite nice. Sold a few pairs too. All stuff for my store I have on line. I am buying some stuff to make anklets for a friend and myself. I can never find premade ones since my ankles are too big. Yes I am overweight but even at a good weight, they still don’t make them big enough for my big bones. I have the same problem with bracelets. But I have to technology to make my own and it’s time to get creative.

Anyway. Monday afternoon dulldrums and maybe I’ll wake up soon. Perhaps when it’s time to go home.

So how was your weekend?

Well made it through another Monday! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! It’s hot outside too- expected to be in the 90’s today.

We have gotten some new employees at work. One of them is a guy that just graduated from high school who is on a summer internship type thing. He is going to colledge to study to become a minister. From what litter he has said, he is part of a fairly strict church. He doesn’t listen to rock and roll! I think I’d die if I couldn’t listen to music- at least it would feel that way.

Anyway, this guy is really nice and all but I wonder how he might react if he found out I am Pagan. It’s not that I hide it or anything and my closer co-workers know that I am. But I have never really discussed it with my parents either because I don’t know how they might react. My dad might think I am part of a cult or something.

So how do you decide who to tell and who to keep it quiet? I feel that I don’t want to hide who I am but I don’t feel the need to advertise either. I mention it’s a holiday from time to time and they know I am in tune to the phases of the moon.  Some people might make the connection if they know anything about Wicca.

What has been your experience with telling others? Have you come out of the broom closet? I’d be interested to hear how others have dealth with this issue.

All this other activity has taken away a bit of my study time. I haven’t done any studing for Wicca since Beltain. Oh my too long.  I need to set up a schedule but then I tend to go with what I feel like doing at the time. Plus I have also be trying to teach myself HTML so I can learn to program.  I’d like to learn something else so perhaps I can work for myself. It has been my goal to work for myself. With my mood problems, it does present problems at work from time to time so working for myself might get rid of some of these problems.

Things are better at work these days. One of the main problem people at work left and I no longer receive personal attacks from my co-workers.  I also have a co-worker car pooling with me. We have a great time on the way to and from work with a drive that last 40 min on up, depending on traffic. I live around Philadelphia, PA and the traffic is terrible here.

Not much else new here. The dragons are good. They have been shedding so they have been a bit grouchy. Rocky has been real friendly lately. I talk to him a lot these days and he actually lets me pick him up these days. Very cool.  

ok, that’s it for now. Thanks to all of you who comment, as I always enjoy them. Have a great weekend! Or as we say these days, Happy Friday.

I am in a dancing mood. I started taking Bellydancing lessions. Oh what fun. It’s hard to get my body to cooperate though. You really have to learn to control movements and such and walk, chew gum and move all at the same time because you have to move your arm, hips and body plus do the dance step. It was really cool in class this week as some people are wearing coin scarves around their waist. When we do certain movement, the coins jingle and move in rhythm to the music. It sounds really cool.  I am going to order myself a scarf to wear. I think it will make it even more fun.

I also started going back to the gym at work and work out. Boy have I been tired this week! I am hoping the energy level picks up soon. I know last time, after I went throuigh this tired spell, I got all the energy. Last time it took a couple weeks to get tired, This time, it happened almost right away.   So I am hoping that things pick up soon.  All this to help improve my mood and outlook. I think it’s working

There seems to be some discussion about Blue Moon. My understanding is that the blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month.  There are 13 full moons in a year so once per year you should see one. Is it really blue? So the expression ‘Once in a blue moon” must mean once a year. Go figure!
