Hmm, the 8th of the month.

I shall go for a walk (Je’s at work) and play in the strong breezes of Hurricane Ida. I love the winds!

Then I shall come home and have a chocolate brownie. Yummy!

Off to play…=)

by going to a meditation temple together. I used to belong to one before I met Je, and received initiation through it. Je has always wanted to check this out, and brought it up to me.

We all witches, and always will be, but are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the rampant addictions of the local community, and the ill-health that follows. We do not know of many couples (if at all), or high priest/ess in our local community that does suffer from the lack of examination of their shadow selves. Many are young and dying from their own abuse. We believe our health and well-being are the result of what we do, eat, drink, think = spellwork of ourselves. This puts us in a distinct minority, with a certain amount of scorn heaped on us (‘oh poor naive children, don’t know how to live’.) We also don’t want an open relationship either, and am tired of the pressure from certain quarters.

So we have decided to become completely eclectic, fade away from our coven gracefully and without drama, and part of our new path is to explore meditation together at a Hindu temple. I really enjoyed this before, love the Hindu gods and gurus, and was always impressed by the health of those involved, who often lived into their 90s independently and joyfully, and by their solid marriages. So this is our next step in spiritual living with our gods. We will still do our private rituals to our gods, attend lots of pagan events, socialize cheerfully, encourage heartily, but we will affiliate with none. We realize we make lousy blind faith followers of any religion. This past Samhain and it’s sorrow has finally nailed that point into us.

So we believe this is what our gods are calling us to, to move to the next level, will strengthen our marriage even more, and help our foundation of health in all departments.

We are getting the breezy outer bands of wind from Hurricane Ida. We don’t know if she is coming this way, but if she does, I would miss school. That’s a nice thing =)

I’ve always loved this wild crazy wind from the storms, with the air of danger and unpredictability. We’ll know more tomorrow.

Whoda thunk a hurricane in November for the northern hemisphere?
