Magickal Circle

My husband and I were talking the other night about religion. We both agreed that we feel better about life and ourselves since we’ve been Pagan. I’m not Christianity bashing or anything. I know I never felt comfortable with it somehow and I did try. I was in the church choir so I was in church all the time. I tried to take confirmation classes too but that was I guess the point where I decided it was not for me. I went to some bible studies with a friend later and that just served to reinforce my feelings.

I think religion should help make you feel better about life, not worse. Make you feel like you’re not really alone. You find peace with your beliefs. I feel like I have come home since I’ve let the Goddess into my life. That’s a real good place to be in my book.

Full moon in 3 days and I need to take the opportunity to thank the goddess. Even if I just light a candle and stare at the beauty of the moon and thank her.

Much to my delight (not to be confused with a lightning bug in a fan) I actually got the new job at work. They sent me to training and I have officially started in my new position. I am still waiting for a new working contract, but other than that, things are good! Today is supposed to be my first day to process a report, I just have to wait for the documents to review.

My new job is doing review of  safety reports, for drugs, to the FDA.  Pretty important stuff and accuracy counts.  It should turn out to very interesting and I get to use my brain. That’s the best part ’cause I need the brain stimulation. Nothing is worse than a boring job.  And the old position was a lot of that.  Serious snooze. 

So I get to use my nursing knowledge and have regular working hours.  Supposed to be some good money too, but no one has thrown any numbers my way yet.  As long as I continue to like it, I see it as a win-win situation.  The goddess has answered my prayers!

I’ll keep you all posted!

Oh, what a poor Pagan I turned out to be. The holiday totally escaped me.  I was so busy with Bellydancing and  making plans to do some sewing and working. Working on getting my new position at work and sort of caught up on it rather than the holiday.  I really need to pay more attention!

I’ve been so caught up in getting this new position at work, I’ve just been lost in thought of that.  Plus, I haven’t cracked the witches almanac in a bit either.  Plus bellydancing. Whoo hoo, what fun that is. I am still trying to convince my body that it is posible to do that which I am asking of it.  I had fun at a seminar too even if I could only hope I could learn how to do some of these moves, but I digress….

About the only thing we are harvesting at out house are cherry tomatoes as the other tomatoes have set but I am sure we won’t see any of those until September. We will keep getting tomatoes until  November and  first frost.  Kind of nice when the store ones are already yucky we can have some nice fresh ones. And horseradish- must harvest the horseradish. It’s getting out of control it has become so large.  I guess just before halloween is the time to grate it. Hmm, tears will be rolling down my face from the pungent fumes from the root.  But it is so good fresh….

I have a postage stamp yard but it looks nice. Not much room for a garden. Just the tomato plants, the horseradish and a rhubarb plant. The rest of the yard has flowers.  I planted cucumber on a trellis growing up once, and made pickles. That was quite a while ago. Don’t seem to have much time these days.  Busy with the store, the house, the chores.  But always have some time for the yard.

Sorry I’ve rambled a bit, my mind is sort of jumbled today. Too much going on in there, or is it the echo that is so distracting……
