Mystical Mundane

It happens so easily. One day its a warm sun and cooling breeze. So many orange, gold and red leaves. Harvesting what was sown in the spring. Suddenly it happens... The North wind is blowing, blowing quite hard with big gusts that are tearing the remainder of the leaves from the trees. Stark, dried trees are dancing about. The sound of the remaining foliage dry and rattley. It is not yet 4:30 but the sun is sinking behind the hills in the west, down into the ocean that lays behind them. Pale coral sky swirled with an even paler blue. Colours are fading. The season is sliding. Winter will be here soon.

As long as the internet has been in my life, about 12 years, I have kept an online journal somewhere. I've never really known how to express myself in them, and as a result have had a few different ones. One for my dark rambling self (now evolved into 'spiritually seeking self' ) , one for pagan/wiccan things (but I am no longer Wiccan... pagan is a term that I'm not quite comfortable with either - Earth-Based/Panentheist is more appropriate ) one for family stuff that was mostly only published to people I knew. I even had one of those 'mommy blogs' for awhile but then I realized I didn't want to promote things because if I didn't like it, I would be very honest and that wouldn't be very PR friendly. Also, I am financially restricted, BIG time, so for me to promote something it would have to be cheap AND super awesome. :) I've never just had all of me in one spot.  Ultimately though, that's who I am. All of it. I am a sometimes moody, som...

In an effort to declutter my internet activity, I'm trying to consolidate and simplify. As a result, I will probably be using this blog more often again. I do love the self-hosting of wordpress, but if I can frugally save a few dollars and more easily and effortlessly keep up to date with what is going on with the bloggers I follow, then it makes sense to do so. I deleted my FB account not too long ago. I was tired of it. I would rather keep up with people by actually finding their blogs and/or emailing them if they live to far away for visiting and phone calls. FB is like the Fast Food of friendships and I'm just done with it.

From the Divine~ The Divine is beautiful, strong, eternal. The Divine is life and death, male, female, spirit and soul. The Divine is all of us. The Myth: In the beginning, there was the Divine One. Love in it's purest form. In order to increase in strength, the Divine took two aspects of itself, male and female, and sent them outward to the universe, to the earth upon which we dwell. She became the earth and the water. He became the air and the fire. She became Goddess. He became God. They are called by many names. They are The Great Mother and Father,Lord and Lady, Goddess and Horned God, as well as a myriad of names given to them by different people from different places at different times. The Goddess manifested herself through the all that grows from the earth and waters. She receives her warmth from the air from God , and God also moves her from below, as the fires under her. God is apparent in his solar form, which he governs. This heats the earth and helps Her life ...
