Tumbled Dreams: October 6 – October 12, 2012

What are “Tumbled Dreams”? These are the posts I made to my tumblr during the week because I felt they did not warrant a separate post on this blog. However, these “interstitials” often explain some of the backstory to the larger dream posts. For those readers that only read Three Different Ways, they may help explain some of the characters and sudden changes in plot and direction.

Behind The Worlds

I take a step. Ripples extend from my foot as if I stepped into water. The ripples grow and snap the ground apart. Springing from the sudden wounds in the earth are large creatures. A chimeric mix of frog, wolf, and eagle, they surround me on all sides. Armored with the same vivid purple color as the hills, I know they are guardians. They roar at me menacingly. I am not to pass. They make no move towards me, but their posture tells me they are ready for battle.

Man Down!

Blessings Darlings!

I have a VERY good first aid kit. Full boxes of face masks and bandages and other supplies, full bottles of alcohol and such, lots of pressure wraps, 1st aid book, arm slings, eye patches, etc.

Yesterday it came into use.

Let it burn

Rage trigger alert for those who like myself have issues: “Forgiveness is for the forgiver”. “You need to forgive those who harmed you”. (insert HUGE scream here)NO I FUCKING DON’T! First…I am not so quick to apply that christian aspect to others. That particular tenet does not apply to any path I may walk.  I […]

Omen or not?

Blessings Darlings!

Neatly bucketed black walnuts, now scattered over the deck.
Very cute garter snake sunning itself on the back step.
Dreams for a week all about the same area of Chicago.
Barking foxes every night at 11.

Are any of them omens? How would you know?

Rootcutters

Vaskania gathered the downy fluff of withered old thistle growing in a birch grove for her cursing dolls- she stuffs them with thistle and bramble and thorn, she gives them hearts of black wisteria seeds, she sews them shut with poison-dipped thread and buries them under foundation and rock…

Incoming!

Blessings Darlings!

For discussion purposes I ‘divide’ magic into two broad categories, thaumaturgy and theurgy, the thaumaturgy being measurable ‘miracle working/money drawing/physical healing/etc’ and theurgy being “spiritual development work”.

I’ve posted some about those things before, like…

Open letter to VermonT

Hey..been awhile huh?  The name?  Just a misnomer that keeps me from speaking your true name.  I haven’t heard from many since my departure from your group, yet some still seem to keep tabs on those of us that were decreed demonic, satanic, heretics, demon worshipers. For the record…we don’t worship them but aren’t afraid to work […]

Sacred Tattooing

 I have always seen tattooing as a sacred process, a way to permanently embed images and symbols into the flesh that have a transcendent meaning. All of my tattoos contain this level of meaning and are first and foremost for me spiritual and secondarily art work. Even the(…)

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Blessings Darlings!

Starting last year, the fall hype about Pumpkin Spice Lattes got my attention. The hype is greater this year, and that ‘rumor of unknown origin’ that Starbucks ‘is running out of’ the stuff made my inner marketer smirk. Ah, ADDED urgency – not just the limited time it’s available, but now limited amounts! Everyone to Starbucks, …
