featherynscaleSaturday:
- Arts and crafts day: Bondage on a budget! We were thinking, here's how to get Gaia craft circle up and running again. "Come over Saturday, we'll be discussing how to build your own St. Andrew's cross. Next month: Leather paddles!" Downside: There are now eleventy bajillion little rope floggers at the house. Maybe we can sell them at Winter Bazaar.
- Much procrastinating for Sunday's ritual stuff.
- Finally got arse in gear to write meditation for Sunday. Had not done meditation/trance in this style before - more daunting than actually challenging, though, I think.
Sunday:
- Oatmeal butterscotch cookies in profusion.
- Frantic ritual preparation. Realized I had not learned the John Barleycorn poem. Memorized that in about 15 minutes, at least well enough to manage it in the ritual.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
triadruid is a hero for digging up ritual dirt while kittenpants and I tried to sort out other things.
- Ritual happened. Nobody died. Unsure if ritual worked, or if it was a giant clusterfuck. Can't do anything about it now, though.agrnmn is a hero for captaining the potluck arrangements so that we could handle some other business that I really would have rather not had to do.
-opaljax graciously offered to plan my birthday celebrations, to be held possibly the weekend of the 26-27th, since it is ritual day for me again on my actual birthday, so would not be able to enjoy the birthday much.
- Pizza rolls!triadruid is a hero again. Sometimes we forget to eat on ritual days.
- Realized that we can, in fact, go tostarwyse's party. Yay, party! Must think of yummy things to bring.
- Realized that we've been in EHQ three years now. Yay houesniversary!

and laugh among the flowers.
In Summers heat, her kisses are sweet,
she sings in leafy bowers.
She cuts the cane and gathers grain
when fruits of Fall surround her.
Her bones grow old in wintry cold,
she wraps her cloak around her."
