Updates

-- No internet until July 9th in the new place. LE SIGH.

-- The winner of the latest round of Guess The Gemstone has been announced.

-- I have been working diligently on the intent pendants. A smidge worried because a friend posted necklaces from another seller that have pendant bits that look eerily similar. I might change up the bottles to something different just so it doesn't seem I am blatantly copying. In any case, three of the six are completed already-- two in sterling silver and one in copper.


L-R: Faerie Sight, Beauty & Confidence, Lust & Sexual Energy, Prosperity, Joy & Optimism, Peace & Comfort



Double, double, toil and trouble: my workstation.


Anointing oils I've been working on for personal use.


-- Been feeling very centered lately. I tend to usually feel this way right around Litha, and by Lammas, I'd like to possibly do an open ritual with a local group. Yes, the solitary is thinking about joining a group-- it's an impulse I don't completely understand, but I've been being nudged to find a group and work in shared energy. But if I needed a final push, it was my weekly horoscope:

Virgo:: According to my projections, you will not, in the coming weeks, meet a dark, secretive stranger who'll play you like a violin. Nor will you be lured to the warehouse district after midnight to pick up the "missing stuff." And I highly doubt that you will be invited to join a cult that's conspiring to seize political power following the events of December 21, 2012. No, Virgo. Your fate is far more mundane than that. In fact, it's more likely that you will soon meet a bright, forthright stranger who will play you like an accordion. You will be drawn to a convenient location at midday to pick up the "missing stuff." And you will be invited to become part of a group that has the potential to play a significant role in your quest for meaning in the coming years.

I don't know if I have a tradition in mind. I don't consider myself Wiccan per se, but a Wiccan group, if it's the right one, is not out of the question.

-- Really nice bath yesterday. Used a Lush bomb found while packing... blue on the outside, but bright magenta on the inside so the water was grape-soda purple. Lots of bubbles. Reading in the tub is one of my favorite pleasures.

-- Teavana's Imperial White Peach tea? Oh my lord. So tasty.

-- Got an email from Flo, my ABQ dance teacher. I miss her bunches and am sad we had to leave so early.

-- J & I are buying a mattress tonight, hopefully. I am not looking forward to moving his big 'ol bed tonight. I need to see what he wants to move this weekend so I can fill offerers in. I think we're going to go on a hike on Sunday because I need to be outdoors.

-- New fishie, to keep Sake company.

Meet Ginger.


-- It's chilly again! July in MD and I need a sweatshirt! Brrrrr.

Alrighty. Off to order some amethyst, then it's back home and more work.
