sh1njuk1 OK... this Saturday evening, there will be a new moon, which is a good time to kick off a life-time spiritual practice. Also, having something to put my mind on can only be helpful for me! So NO job-related activities today, none, nil!
OK - what do I KNOW I need to have done before I do the ceremony on Saturday evening??
1) I need to decorate my 7 candles to make them the correct colors. I plan to use different designs, make it a bit artistic.
2) I need to at least cut a hole in the cloth for my Druid robe to make space for my head - also, ideally, closing it off with hand-sewing! Maybe I'll have some time to watch some Italian hill town walks today/tomorrow... :)
3) Get one more white cloth to drape over the little table belonging to my son (also, it is painted white - might not add to fire risk)
4) Get some incense/incense burner. Cedar? "woody fragrance"
5) Print out a copy of this ritual, so that I can memorize it.
I think that's all I need. "All." Gonna take a hell of a lot of work!
OK, so first off, what do I still need to buy? I'm going to go on a 4-mile walk first thing this morning, to get myself healthy and so on and so forth. On my way back I can go shopping :) That would be... incense/incense burner (can get at Natural Grocers), and printing out a copy of the ritual at Fed-Ex. On that note... let me email it to myself.
OK, one last read-through to make sure I'm not missing anything...
I wrote a postcard about the cat's death to my brother, and will drop it off on the way. May today be a day of business, of getting stuff done. Will check in again tomorrow.
