Being part of a Druid fellowship

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

I renewed my ADF membership today (about a month early, but I got my reminder and figured I’d forget if I didn’t get it done). I also ordered a year subscription to Oak Leaves, as I really did enjoy the copy that a friend sent. I was going to donate a bit more cash, but sadly doing what I did took all of ‘my’ funds from my paypal account. However, I did donate a bit to the world in general, as I’ll no longer get vote mailings and I opted out of getting a new ADF card. Heh, in a way I saved one tree (by opting out) but contributed to killing several others by getting the newsletter *sigh* Can you say catch 22?

And now that I’ve been in Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF) for a full year now, I guess it’s high time I got off my comfy little bottom and started to actually do something with it. I’ve found my motivation, now I just need to apply it.

Wish me the best!

Dreaming of Occult Corpus

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Dreams are strange things…

Last night though was a bit more odd then normal. I am in the mod forum, but it’s not a forum, it’s a room, well, a coffee house. Radiant Star was there, Nero was there, Forest Breath, Mmothra, and others. Cypher Grey was there as well…

We were all arguing over my actions over something, and Cypher Grey insisted that I get an infraction. I didn’t like this idea and left in a huff.

It would seem that the bickering continued, and was in some kind of limbo, but it did seem like Cypher was winning the debate. This got me a bit flustered, so I used my amazing Admin powers to fly around the forums (in this case a city) to collect all the bill boards I could find. I surrounded Cypher Grey’s house with them, and was lining the street on the way to the Coffee House. I was going to write on them all my point so maybe it could sink into his thick head.

I kept confusing real billboards with strange little black lids, that went on these odd little resin (plastic) boxes. It didn’t matter though, because I could stick them into the ground, and write my message on them. The little boxes (and lids) stood out in the dreams because they were significantly smaller then actual billboards, but when I put them up they seemed to match. This made me ponder my own size (and significance).

I saw Forest Breath walking to the Coffee House, and I flew down to walk with her. We discussed things a bit, then she said something and *JUMPED* off the ledge next to the street and tumbled down the loose dirt, rocks and debris. I could do nothing to save her but stand there in shock…

I knew that I SHOULD zip over with my amazing powers, because I could…but I could not, not at that point. I could just stand there with my jaw dropped as I watched the woman I love fall into a contorted position on the ground below.

Then I woke up…

Here comes the rains

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day

 Is likely a rhyme one has not heard around these parts in well over a month. In fact, we’ve had no rain going on 6 weeks, and no one has heard thunder in well over 2 months. All that has changed today… 

It’s raining, it’s pouring
The old men are snoring

 We’ve had a half inch so far, and more thunder seems to be creeping up. With hope it’ll bring along a bit more rain, as the gods know we could certainly use it around here. Between the rains I managed to get a little outside work done, but after the rain it made the day not only hot as normal, but humid. I of course didn’t do all that much.

 Now, I pray that the rains stay, as there are people down the street with dry wells, and it’s only a matter of time at this rate that ours runs dry. I’ve called upon a few favors, but I’m not sure my pull is strong enough to solve this problem. Cyndi has been given favor as well, and we have posted for energies and suggestions from friends and family online.

 The drought in Tennessee must end, or our worries will be the least of the problems (for all of us). The late freeze, and the lack of rains is already taking its toll on the local (and even national) economy.

 Oh, but I am thinking positive, and when it rains again I’ll go out and walk in it, taking in some of the much needed moisture, and giving thanks.
