Lessee... little less than 3 weeks til my muthafuhin vacashun! And what the in-laws don't know can't hurt me none. I ain't telling a soul that I'm off for a whole 10 days. Having given up on my ideas for Magic Mtn., I am now perfectly content w/the idea of couch surfing. I will listen to music, I will sleep, I will play w/the snakes, I may or may not call Jody & Lisa, I will enjoy the 3 nights that Rob works by getting completely 'faced & jilling off all night while writhing on the floor to the soulful sounds of NWA & Eminem. So there :P :::pbthththth:::.
On other notes, tonight I ordered the Shamanic drumming CD that I've had me eyeballs on for some time. It's the first step & already I'm terrified to listen to it. It's the direction that I've been headed in for years now, in a Neo-Pagan Voodoo sort of way, via Buddhism & some down-home herbman wisdom... I played w/rattles & drums in a Cost Plus a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes music makers feel so good in my hands, like they've always been there. Rob wants to spend money at the Ren Fair, been talking about one of those Water Dragon bowls I saw last year, but I think if I can find an honest-to-goodness dobhran that's the route I'll take. Still working on those dreams I had about the Army guy. I think that's what I'm going to use the drumming tape for, once I figure out how to guide myself instead of letting the music guide me. Finding out a little bit more about ol' Dan "Digger".
Still wanting burgundy & gold in my bedroom. Got the new bed, ordered some wicker & wrought iron nightstands. I'm thinking the lightness of the wicker against deep burgundy will look exactly right. Now I just need a bureau & a head/foot board set that works in w/it all. If only I could get rid of that awful beige carpet... not that I really know what I'd replace it with. Straw mats? Woven rushes? Sweetgrass & lemongrass strewn on a raw wooden floor?
Still analyzing "happy" and "love". I think I missed class on those days. Some lessons are lessons that follow you around all your life. Do you know how many Pagans I've met who've been touched by Freya & Aphrodite & Venus & Eros & Pan & all those lovely, loving, horny deities, all the Voodoo websites dedicated to Erzulie, how many children of Oshun there are? Me, who do I get? The Barons. Anubis. Hecate. Hades & Persephone. The Dark Faces of the Gods & Goddesses, the chthonic deities, the tricksters & jokers, the wild cards, the wild ride. I try to do one lousy little lust spell, very specific, and I get insane giggles from my patrons.
Which brings to mind... last night I was watching "Wild Discovery" - it was about the world's cleverest animals. Someone in England has a raven they named Loki. And they've basically taught Loki how to beat a security system to steal the Crown Jewels. Right now, I can think of at least 3 separate deities who are laughing their asses off. (Bran, Odin & of course, Loki Himself) This brought numerous questions to my mind:
1) Why would you name a raven Loki?
2) Why would you go through all the trouble to teach a raven a security code?
3) Why would you teach a raven how to dial the telephone?
4) Why show a raven how to detect laser-beam motion detectors?
5) What are you gonna do when this raven actually does steal the Crown Jewels?
6) What are you gonna do when this raven teaches all his friends how to steal the Crown Jewels?
