Finding out about yourself

Well everyone i have good news and bad news. the good new first. WE WILL BE DOING THE GROUP AFTER ALL!!!!!!! The bad news is not sure when the first meeting will be, in the mean time I thought we could continue with online study and interest. Which brings me to the topic of this post, self discovery.

It is my belief that everyone has certain things that draw them. An animal, a plant, a stone/gem/crystal, a symbol, an element, a deity. Now I would like you all to start your own search, read as much as you can, pick one thing, your power animal, your stone, even your patron Deity (remember is you pick a male you should also pick a female and vise versa, balance is always important)

Now I know that sometimes there are multiples, more often then not. I also know that there are others things that I didn't list. So my task for you is this, work on finding out what your specific draws are.

My own draws (and I haven't finished searching, researching and learning them but for now) are Posiedon as my god, Orchid for my flower (not sure which species yet), orca whales along with turtles and seahorses, and water is my element. Now if you see they seem to follow a theme, which in case also goes along with my zodiac symbol of pisces. This is not always the case, although starting with your astrological sign is always a help. One book that gives you another not so common look at this is called Darkside Zodiac by Stella Hyde, her website: http://www.darksidezodiac.net/single.htm?ipg=10766 is a start but the book also tells you to look at your moon sign which in my case was cancer. (another water sign)

So once you complete this please share with the group your findings in the form of comments the other thing I'd like you to do is discover something else that is you that you draw power from, there are a lot of things i didn't list I only ask you to list one, with the exception if someone has already listed it you must pick another.

Blessed be in the exploration of yourself

Trying to find a new sense of Normalicy

Clean up is going and we have made a lot of progress, discussed in length how we are going to remodel, one good thing from a flood it forces you to decide how to redo the house. Sky and I decided to just get away from it all tonight for a while though, we went to a local Legion to a psychic fair. It was the first either of us had ever been too. It was really interesting, and sky found some peppermint oil that really spoke to him, I was fascinated by all the crystals, and the jewelry. Yet It just didn't seem like an environment where true states of awareness could be reached to be able to do any psychic readings. Yet it got both of us into the spirit of getting back into the pagan spirit, in our remodeling scheme we are thinking of finishing the basement and making it into a our own temple, study room. I just wish we were done with the work, but i know that the more i put into it the more i will love my home in the end.

Blessed be everyone and may we merry meet sooner then later.

Cleaning Up

Well things are moving along, we are making progress, the first floor is pretty much gutted, and injuries are at a minimum for all this construction. I cut my finger, just deep enough to bleed like crazy and have that annoying sting. Sky stepped on a nail and had to get a shot be seems to be a lot better. The second floor has become a sort of apartment but it works, although the electric company shut the power off, it never went off during the flood or the week following while doing the gutting but the town says it is dangerous so to get it turned back on they are requiring you replace the panel and any wires that got wet and get it inspected then they will allow us to turn it back on and Fall decided to come so it's quite cold at night so sky and i snuggle close and are doing as much work as we can on our own. FEMA should be meeting with us today or tomorrow fingers crossed.
