I'd love to get consistent sleep or have consistency in my day-to-day activities. I have one day when I get things done and the next day I'm in bed sleeping most of the day. Mostly because I didn't get much sleep thanks to the dog needing out every hour or so after the sun came up, the pharmacy's automated calls telling me I have prescriptions in and a mouse peeking its head from behind my altar trying to steal one of Professor's dog treats. I was pretty miserable yesterday. Plus I had shopping that needed doing.
Ladyimbruim mentioned in the comments last post that dragonfyre is chaotic at first so I guess that's what happened. It certainly was a chaotic feel to the day. Hopefully things can only improve from here on.
I did something last week that I didn't blog about initially because I wanted to give it time to see how I felt about it, but mostly because I forgot I did it. So apparently I had no problem with it. I threw away my fundie bible. I had already gotten rid of most of my Christian stuff but I was afraid if I threw this away I would regret it. Apparently I don't. I still have the Book of Common Prayer but I will probably keep that since my experiences in the Episcopal Church were pleasant but anything that reminded me of the oppressive system I lived in I wanted out of my house. Once I get finished cleaning my room I'll smudge it and do a cleansing spell. I can't do it with Zach in the house, though, as he chokes on the smell of the sage burning. I love it myself but his OCD won't let him near it. He likes incense just fine so I might just use some Dragon's Blood incense instead. And save the smudging for outdoors.
I'm still doing well on my path. The other night I had a visit from the Greeks and that brought out feelings of nostalgia but no real draw in that direction. I'm still fond of the Greek gods but we aren't a good fit. And while I'm very content with the Norse, I'm finding I don't fit into the heathen aspects of that path either. More just Pagan with Norse leanings, I guess. And oddly enough, I like it that way! I've come a long way from needing a defined system to follow.
I bought Mrs. B's Guide to Household Witchery for my birthday. I really like it but it's probably not for everyone. I like that it's more a how-to book than a book of deep knowledge. I like recipes and spells and information about herbs and such. I can't relate so much to her list of household gods since I don't have a hearth goddess to pay attention to. I light the candle on my kitchen altar to the house spirits with a cone of incense to honor them and then invoke the gods with my morning prayer: Hail Day! Hail the Sons of Day! And so on. I love that prayer with all its variations.
Well, supper is done and it's time for nightly ritual. I added Zach's dragon castle incense burner to my altar. He's cleaning out his room and has removed all his altar stuff for now so I have a set up in the dining room displaying all his dragon incense burners and and dragon statues. I do have his dragon oil burners on my altar holding my votive cups and candles. I hate to use them as burners as the glass gets stained and etched so easily. Plus, I do feel a connection with dragons now. I also have his sword on my altar that has dragon designs on it. I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow.
