What are you all doing for Beltane?

May I ask what Beltane is?

It's a fertility festival that is held on May 1st. It's also the second time in the year when the veil between worlds is thinnest. :)

Tai is sad :( My fish died last night. I buried them this morning.

Thanks. Just means I'm going to be off for a while. I'll try and post.

I found out the practice of keeping fish in the far east is used as an early warning system for psychic or spiritual attacks. My fish lived by the window. They were my last line of defence.
I don't know whether to be devastated or fuming.

Aww poor fishys D:

Alas, I cannot own fish because my kitties would eat them...

But anyway...

Just popping in for a bit, I think I'm gonna go ahead and sell off the rest of my junk.

If anyone here wants to keep in touch, message me and I can give you my msn or something, cause I'm really not gonna be on here much anymore, except maybe to check on this place.

I hate to leave, but really Trisphee kinda bores me nowadays...

My kitty just liked to talk to them. Dave the snail passed away this morning too, I think he was heartbroken after losing his partner.

I'm going to miss you. Please do still check in :)

Talk to me... someone...

*falls in*.....well, I'd talk to you, but it says you're not online right now D:

I might email you later though o.o

Nice twitter thingy by the way, I'd follow you but I don't have a twitter. I suppose I could make one though...

You'd have to help me learn how to use twitter X3

Anyway, has everyone else just abandoned this place? o.o'

I don't really see anyone come in here anymore...

Looks like it. I feel kinda lonely.
I'll gladly teach you the fun of twitter hehe and feel free to email me. :)

*returns* I sent an email : D

and made a twitter thing...

Not sure it's sassy enough for me though...

So what's up on your end? Since it says you're online now X3

Lol not much. Painting my room powder blue tomorrow . Jenjen's making me some cheese on toast. How are you?

owo powder blue is such a pretty color...

Umm...not much here, wanting to go shopping >.>

Also on the hunt for new music again X3

And...uumm...probably gonna grab some ice cream soon : D

That's about it really. My life is boring ^^'
I really need to work on my Book of Shadows, I barely have anything in it XD
I'll probably wait for my mother to leave the house for something before I do that though...
Not sure what to put in it really o.o'

I need to learn more D:

It's gonna look great.
Mmmmmmm icecream. Wants.

You can put any of your studies in there. Mine looks like a spell log.

Hmm interesting...problem is I learn a lot and then forget to write it down X3
I'll have to relook up some things....

Can I use it for ramblings and stuff too? :3
That would be fun...
I still need to figure out my exact beliefs...

Question, and I forget if I've asked this, but can I worship and believe in deities from various places (like Egyptian and Greek for example?) o.o

Or would that be a no no D:

Cause I predominately worship Egyptian deities and the like, but I'd like to worship some others as well...

Also is it ok to pick and choose which dieties to worship/ pray to? Like, I believe in them all, but I don't see the need to pray to certain ones. Is that insulting? o.o It seems like it would be...

And...I'll come up with more questions, just wait... >.>

You can write anything relevant. Over time people tend to have more than one book.

Worshipping more than one pantheon is fine, just try not to mix them in a single spell. :)

Ah! pantheon was the word I couldn't think of X3 That's why my post sounded kinda silly...

Well...I'm sure what I consider relevant, others wouldn't XD
My book shall be made of awesome...

*checks*....wow I have like NOTHING written in it D:

eh...*goes to find stuff to write X3*

It won't have any spells and such for awhile most likely, not like I can really do rituals in a Catholic household ;-;
Though now that I have money coming in, I might see about maybe sneaking an athame (spelling?) into the house. I want one so bad for some unknown reason D:

Or I can get some Bastet statues >3>' I need some...

I really need to find a way to construct my beliefs so that when people ask exactly WHAT I believe, I can properly explain. I've failed at that thus far...

Everything's relevant in one way or another. Just have to find the link.
Yay for the book of awesome!

I rarely do spells at home. I have a space I like to go to for that. It's in a public forest but it's kind of hard to get to unless you want trees smacking you in the face XD

You got the spelling right. And that's cool. A friend of mine has one. And as it's as blunt as a rock it's all legal. hehe.

I find simply "pagan" is explanation enough. :)

Yes well, the few other pagans I've talked to usually ask me to be more specific >.>

Well, I suppose I wouldn't care how sharp or dull my athame would be, so long as it does what is needed of it X3

I...don't really have a place I could do spells. I'd probably be most comfortable doing something like that in my room anyway ^^'

Outdoors has icky bugs D: Also I hate spiders, with a passion...
The family might move to a new house over the summer though, I would have my own room while I live there so that may work.
Not that my sister really cares what I do...

lol. Even I'd find it had to do that. I think I'd worry people if I was 100% honest with my beliefs.
It'll be nice to have your own room. I'm lucky I was an only child.
And I don't like spiders either. But me and the creepy crawlies have a deal in my house. You can go anywhere in the house you like but if you go in my room I will squish you. It works quite well. :)

That's what sisters are for.

Well, luckily the felines and canines kill most of the buggies in the household...

Speaking of felines, what is "cat magick"? I heard the term used once, maybe in this thread? But I have yet to figure out what that is exactly o.o And I'm quite curious...

Well, I believe my sister has a Pagan friend or two, so it's not like she finds it really weird or anything.
She just doesn't care X3

I get distracted easily it seems >.> I start looking up Pagan info, and I get sidetracked with the shopping pages >3>
But, it's so fun to imagine X3

....I never did make that tarot deck now that I think of it...
whoops >.>

Cat magik is magik with the natural energy of felines. That's the basic explanation I guess. I've never used it to be honest.

Lol, I get sidetracked too. But I've ordered the blank cards for my oracle deck. It's not really a tarot deck as I won't be using the traditional arcana.

Interesting...

Also I'm starting to think that if I have a familiar, it's my black cat XD. She's always there...always @.@
She likes me X3

...Or...is it possible to have TWO familiars? o.o
That would be the black cat and my tabby, I'm especially close to both of them...Or maybe I just love them too much and therefore am being silly X3

I still don't completely understand all that familiar stuff anyway...

Oh yay! My mother just left X3 Time for mischief...

That's possible. If they're into it then why not?

lol, when mum's away the cats will play ^_^

Actually, I'm doing some research, I don't think my kitties are sassy enough to be familiars XD

But, I still have super connections to felines so that's what matters...

I suppose I just don't have a familiar ^^

I was probably a cat in a past life >.> *doesn't really believe in past lives*

....where are my felines anyway? o.o *looks around for them*

They're hiding waiting to pounce on you.
Jenjen attracts all felines, which is odd as her spirit animal is a wolf. lol.
I gotta go for the night be on tomorrow after I've repainted my room. :)

Hehe birthday times. Chilling with otters and taking lots of pictures.

Happy Beltane to all of you. :)

Ignore the Judeo Christian name I have, it was actually from a webcomic I love :P
Merry Meet to all in here.

Hehe. I like that name :)
Merry meet to you ^_^
How is everyone today?

Welcome :) It's great to see another English(wo)man around ^_^
Don't worry we welcome all shades of the spectrum here.
And merry Beltane to you too. :)

Grrrr. Stupid LGBT magazines being militant. I want to just live my life damn it!!

Feeling frustrated, are we?

Just a little. I just wish I could have an LGBT magazine that didn't act as if the world was against them. I've been accepted as has my wife.
I'd look for a pagan magazine but I doubt that'll happen this century.

/rant.

Anywhooooo ^_^ How are you today?

Yes, that does get rather tedious.
Very, very tired. Glad that I am home now :)

@Bill 'hugs' Rest and tea is needed.

@Gallows lol. I'm from England. In the midlands :)
