Man, it's been a long time since I've been here.

Seriously, I've been enjoying summer a little too much. :P
Let's see, for the holiday I've spent the last few days working in the yard, honoring hard work and sweating in the heat :P
I made some wonderful smelling Summer Solstice oil I've been dressing myself with for the last few days and this morning I paid particular close attention to weeding, tending and sprucing up my herb garden. Pictures to come! My basil is about a foot and a half high, with my catnip not too far behind it :P
Of course the rest of the holiday is going to be spent at the BEACH! Saying farewell to the sun ;) I'm gonna have to collect shells and what nots for my altar.

Day 60 // Long time no see..
Well, I apologize for the long delay in posting. I have been enjoying my summer vacation a little too much. Now for the work to begin.
Tonight I tried a Taking Refuge meditation borrowed from the Hermetics and found it very effective. If you're not aware of it, here's a link to the description: Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn
I had a nice cleansing ritual in the shower and a nice chat with Cerridwen to follow. Okay, so it was more of a scolding but it was very comforting either way. I got the feeling that to heal myself I needed to confront my past self, so I went and visited myself when I was 10 and had a blast of a conversation. I learned a lot about myself that I had forgotten and found it extremely healing. Tonight was filled with magick. It was truly rewarding. I faced some flaws and focused on the best qualities I have but had forgotten.
If you haven't looked into your past, I urge you to meditate, take refuge, ground and center and go back to a time that sticks out to you. Whether it was the happiest time of your life and you need to remember why you were happy and why you should be just as happy now.. or whether it was the hardest time of your life and you need to confront it now that you're out of the situation. The latter I will have strength to do another time. But for tonight, I took refuge, became grounded and centered, I even called on the elements (because I always do), and walked through the darkness of my mind to find little me. Best meditation in a long time! And guess what, Cerridwen was right there with me. Good luck!
