I survived Feri Death Camp

Back home now. Trying to dig my way out of my office.

Feri camp was kind of a wild ride. I was totally the odd-kid-out at the single-tradition gathering, but I think I ought to be used to that by now. Also, I think I ought to come up with some sort of pithy thing to say when people ask me what kind of pagan I am. My speech lasts way, way too long, and people start to get this glazed-over look.

There's more postin' to come on some of this, but here's the short version of "While I was away:"
- I was in three states I had not set foot in before.
- I met a lot of really cool people, some of whom I have added as lj-friends, some of whom don't have ljs and some of whom have lj names that are still running around in the wilds of my brain and will no doubt emerge later.
- I met some interesting gods... did you know they have a god who is the third thing arising out of a bird energy/snake energy synthesis? I didn't. But I'm in favor of it!
- I went to hell and came back in a little under an hour. Took Jesus three days. New world record! (blasphe-meee! blasphe-you! blashphe-everybody in the room!)

Did you miss me?
Did anything neat happen when I was gone?

I've never timed it, but I'm sure I've been in and back out of a Starfucks in under an hour.

You two missed a pretty freakin' awesome ritual... so did a lot of other people, though... that durn Faire. You'd think Pagans like to dress up be pirates/wenches/barbarians/etc, geez. But anyway, It was heavy-trance (I ♥ trance) and difficult. Made me cry, those bastards*. I gave the ritual team a mighty (relative to me) thank you. And there was dancing... normally totally not my thing, but after that trance, I probably could have done all sorts of things that are not my thing.

*To those who don't know, I enjoy using this word in an ironic manner as a term of endearment for people who make me think.

**Were you at the table that last morning when we decided that Jesus needs to make Kala on this? *snorfles*
