Working hard and making plans...
I can't believe my work week is already at it's end. I was just starting to become adjusted to it. Work has been very good as usual and I have no complaints. I suppose there really is a first time for everything. Beltane is fast approaching and I haven't really sat down to brainstorm a ritual yet. I have been spending heaps and heaps of personal time researching everything I could get my hands on for this celebration. Refreshing the memory is always a good thing, especially with a memory like mine. The Wendi Lady and her HusbandCreature have been invited to the evening of merriment, but now I'm all sorts of self conscious. Wendi's counterpart made it very clear that he is ULTRAOLDSCHOOLORTHODOXWICCAN and I wonder if my laid back, intuition based, artsy ritual design will be disconcerting for him. I doubt it, and I'm pretty sure I'm only playing to my insecurities, but still I feel odd. In any case the celebration is slowly but surely coming into full view and I'm getting very excited by the thought! I wish I knew how to belly dance. Something tells me I'm going to want to move the way that indian women of old full of the power of persuasion moved. I can already hear the faerie music brimming in the small wooded spaces of my backyard and on my smoke breaks I have sworn I could feel the eyes of the wood on me. Imagination? Green Man? Or just plain sillyness? I don't think it really matters either way you look at it, because it makes me happy and that's truthfully the bottom line. I found a qoute today from an article on www.witchvox.com about Beltane that touched my heart.

"We need Beltane, as the Earth needs the sun, for our very spirit cries out for the renewel of summer jubilation"
