the Pagans tea-room

[Mike182]

One of the wonderful things about acknowledging many gods and goddesses is that there are so many 'in charge' of aspects of our lives! I love the personal relationship that we have with our dieites, and how we can usually know which of them our fellow members might call on.

funny that

As expected, I'll be asking for help from Kwan Yin and Artemis. (With luck, both of my favorites happen to be goddesses associated with healthy childbirth!)

hmmm *puts on surprised face* didn't see that one coming i'm doing a quick blessing tonight, sadly the relation with my parents kinda prohibits anything "big" blessing wise - i don't know what to bless for, so i'm going for a "general weaving of spiritual bonding, healthy birth and general protect-y-ness"

Turk, please know that we're also thinking about you during this time! *hugs*

turk.... turk who?

 

[Mike182]

so, what did you do for summer solstice? Draka, dropped anything small and child-like yet?

my best friend (a fellow pagan) came up from Melton to visit for the day, after my exam - we went walking for hours in the Nottingham Arboretum, where we did some meditation work, but we mainly celebrated the solstice by being together :hug:

some pics of the Nottingham Arboretum, it's big, peaceful, and i love it!

 

[Purple Thyme]

Cool Pics. I celebrated by spending the evening with my family relaxing outside checking out the animals that venture into our yard. It seems to be considered pretty safe as they all come out when we're outside even.

 

[Draka]

I'm lame. My "celebrating" for Litha was more mundane. I actually got to get out of the house during the day since Turk had the day off. I got to drive my car around most of the day. I didn't realize how much I missed driving. I actually was saying "wheeee" going down the highway with the windows down . I got to go shopping and get work done on my car that it desperately needed.

I felt bad when I went to bed last night because I didn't do any ritual, have a sabbat meal ( like I usually do), or anything along those lines. I didn't even change over my seasonal decorations yesterday from Spring to Summer. I have to do that today. I was just so happy to get out and do something for once all other things got moved to the background.

 

[kreeden]

All things considered , I wouldn't feel too bad Draka . Like a book I once read says ," The Man wasn't created for the sabbat , the sabbat was created for man ". { or something along those lines ... }

 

[Draka]

Still no baby people. I have an appointment for next Monday to get induced if I haven't had him by then. The boy is just stubborn. I feel like a stuffed pig ready to roast over the pit. I hope I have him before then and won't have to bother with inducing, but it doesn't seem likely at this point.

 

[kreeden]

Are you still here Draka ? I have my fingers { and toes } crossed . Hopefully the little guy will decide to join us on his own free will .

 

[Purple Thyme]

I've been wondering too. Baby here yet?

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Turk (who's changed his name, hehee) made a thread that Jamie has arrived! I'll try to find the link for you!

 

[kreeden]

That is good news . Congrats Draka and Dad-Previously-Known-As-Turk .

 

[Draka]

Yes, he's here. Jamie is on the scene. The most content little baby ever seen. The doctors had a heck of a time getting him to even cry. He's just very calm. Doesn't cry over anything really. Just when he wants fed or is gassy. That's it.

*Finds rocking chair in tea room and sits with Jamie to rock for a while*

How's everyone else?

Whenever you are ready to publish. My publishing company was great. No out of pocket expense except to buy the bar code for the back cover. It is a print on demand, maybe you have something like it on your side of the pond. Lulu, Inc. this link will take you to my storefront (shameless promotion of my books). Just go to the home page to get details. Coming across this was an answered prayer for me who can't afford to buy a minimum of 1000 books.

21.5 inches . Ain't so little .

 

[turk179]

Just thought I would pop my head in here and see what I have been missing. Looks like I have missed a lot.

turk.... turk who?

Hmmm? Super turk? No, thats not right. Could it be the turkinator? No, thats not right either. Could it be satan? Nope. Not right either. Ahhh. it's daddy turk. And right now turk is in serious need of getting in touch with deity.

Not much activity since Jamie was born. So how is everyone doing in here?

 

[kreeden]

Good . Although I am perparing for war ... seems that a company here has no respect for animals . People or others .

And you DT ? Jamie allowing you to sleep ?

 

[turk179]

Not a very nice company me thinks.

And you DT ? Jamie allowing you to sleep ?

Every once in a while. But it is worth it. I seem to have more energy since he was born anyw.....oops, fell asleep.

 

[kreeden]

Yea , well worth missing a little sleep I would think .
