A Proper Update

We just got home from Little Rock last night, and I'm proud to announce that my life is already back to schedule and routine. Laundry all done, everything unpacked...this whole Fecal Coagulation Schtick really rocks.

I'm excited about Christmas! I've been making a few presents, and hope to get some more done. dirocyn and I have our 4th anniversary on Thursday, and our 6th on Friday. (Our first date was in 1997, we got married in 1999.) So, we'll be spending the day out Christmas shopping and seeing LOTR!!! While cybermathwitch takes my lumplings off to her mother's house. We'll get the weekend alone! Happy Anniversary to us! Wheee!

Here Comes the Sun

"We ritually acknowledge the solstice and equinoctial processions to align ourselves with these cycles, both personally and environmentally.  The mythological symbolism is very important, as it is the image of the cycle that is out there that allows each witch to personalize the sacred drama as it begins to unfold.  The cycle is, therefore, also a process and a progression of the initiate, both as person and priesthood, that spirals you out to dance the season of the Earth.  The way of a witch is irrevocably interwoven with these progressions, the point being that all that is runs through your veins, and to celebrate this is what your priesthood is about."

~~Ly de Angeles, Witchcraft:  Theory and Practice

How cool is that?  We celebrate the turning of the year, the cycle of the seasons, both within ourselves, as well as out in the world around us.  Turning the wheel of one's life, celebrating births, marriages, harvests, sacrifices...these all help to turn the larger wheel, the changing seasons, the births and deaths of stars, cosmoi, universes.  The microcosm is the macrocosm.  And the other way around too.  The macrocosm is the microcosm.  And celebrating the changing of the seasons--one more fall come winter--marks changes within ourselves.   This winter I am thirty, I have three children, a husband....ten years ago, celebrating Yule was a very different experience.  I was different.  The world, the death of the sun, the sun's rebirth, was the same.   Each time we recognize and celebrate the passage of time, we advance ourselves a little further into our own personal growth.
