Yesterday, Rob & I only got about 4 hours of sleep due to a follow-up w/my ortho doc. So we went to bed while it was still dark outside. Around midnight. It's obscenely early for us but I was pulling a Grandpa Simpson routine at my computer. Not good, considering we were running the Scarlet Monastery. At least Rob got his Ravager axe on the first try. Anyway, I had bought a couple of 'sounds of nature' CD's to see if they would help me relax (along w/a Theta-wave stimulator, haven't tried it yet but I just got up. It's 8am, fuck me tomorrow). I had popped one in my CD player & was soothed to sleep (not that I needed the help last night) by the sounds of a babbling brook & birds & at some point a chorus of frogs & crickets.
About half an hour, forty-five minutes or so into the CD, while I & Rob were soundly, deeply asleep - the wolves started howling. Scared the living crap outta me at first. It was a loooooong, wavering, true were-wolf movie wolf howl, followed by the shorter yaps and songs of a family pack. Even woke Rob up & I told him, stating the obvious, "There are wolves in here. Maybe they'll eat the cucuy". He agreed with me & we both fell back asleep.
I drew a card last night, asked the Goddess Oracle 'how do I retrieve my faith?'. I drew Maeve, honoring your rhythms and cycles. The card assured me my depression and lack of interest in everything would pass. What I inferred from this is that maybe like a period, my faith has cycles, too. Times when I am a religious freak & times when I am an atheist. For once, decent advice from a tarot card. However, there is no time frame to work with. Could be a season, could be years.
