The past week and my familiar's impending doom

Well I survived the first day of Junior year... although I think I'm going to have to drop an elective because not having a lunch is so very painful. My schedule's pretty hectic too. Oh, I saw my, er- ex-friend in the hallways and she still hasn't figured out that I don't want to be friends with her anymore, but I think she'll get the picture soon. And, Gods be praised, I have NO CLASSES with her!! *throws hands up in the air ecstatically*

So I have a long weekend off and I plan to enjoy every second of it! Last night was a full moon, so I listened to a ton of lovely wiccan music, most by Lisa Theil, who is an amazing singer, by the way, and I sat outside and stared at the moon for a long time with my black cat, Blackjack. It was a great day and I feel really refreshed this morning!

On a sad note, though, my mother who is allergic to cats seems hell-bent on getting rid of my wonderful familiar, who is truly the nicest cat you could ever hope to meet, and it's been almost a year of her threats to do this... this time though, she found a place near us willing to "take him in." It's terrible! For the past year everyone she meets she immediately tries to bargain my cat off to them! Right in front of me too! And I've had my cat for five years already, and he is seriously like my little baby! I can't even imagine what will happen once he's gone. My mother already gave my other cat, Hiver, away to my uncle in Illinois this past summer. I'm just so angry at her... and I've tried everything I could think of to persuade her to keep him, but she just won't listen to anybody else's opinion, even though the rest of my family all wants Blackjack to stay. *exsasperated sigh* What is a witch without her cat? A very lonely one, for sure.

How Soon is Now

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth,
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth,
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet someone who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
and you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry and you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen 'now'
When exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

Someday
Not one in particular

For all you witches out there...

So as all you witches druids and neo-pagans out there already know, the next sabbat up is Mabon (Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 21st), so I was surfing the web and came up with these great pages for you guys.

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/7039/AshlinCB.html - this is a great site for recipes and general Sabbat/esbat/seasonal information. Mmm... Fresh Apple Poundcake...

http://www.wicca.com/celtic/akasha/index0.htm - another great site for all the sabbats and esbats, with recipes, activities, and information on the rituals as well.

http://www.unc.edu/~reddeer/recipe/rec_mabon.html - more recipe goodness for you all- I'm not quite sure what Cock-a-Leekie soup is, but it sounds interesting, and hey! They tell you how to make dandelion wine in here!

http://photobucket.com/images/mabon/ - here are some great pictures to get you in the mood to celebrate the harvest and you can even put them on your page!

'Ello mates...

Hey there... I guess this blog, though I have others, is about getting a fresh start. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with it yet, but that's the fun of it, right?

I will however, be posting things about Wicca, and some personal issues for ventings sake, however; any person in my blogs will go nameless. I've been blogged about before in a nasty sort of way and I, unlike said nameless person, refuse to hurt people via the internet. If you're going to hurt people, hurt them in your thoughts; better to follow the Wiccan rede and Harm Ye None.

Anyways, I guess this blog's going to get pretty random at times, knowing myself. I'll probably be posting song lyrics and other such things so... it'll be interesting, I suppose. Anyways, best not to overload the first post. I hope you all enjoy this.

Merry part, blessed be!
