Normally, I do the publishing upload on Thursday (for Jupiter’s day, and expansion), and things are ready to go (Friday, Venus’s day, a great day for a romance novel to be in the world…) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, I made offerings to Mercury on Wednesday, for swift approvals and all the technology to line up appropriately. Things took a little longer than usual, but everything was ready to go by Friday, which was great. (Also, I got a lovely email from one of my most fervent readers, who bought it moments after it was available on Amazon and inhaled it. Seriously, totally made my week…) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that worked well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday: <\/strong>New in our “physically distanced coven” repetoire, we tried doing the same ritual activity (getting to know a herb and what we might learn from it). I’d said sometime from Thursday to Saturday (the full moon being Friday). Mine involved some mediation, some research, and drawing up a panel for my book of shadows with a distillation of what I’d learned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n(I had picked violet, and I have some violet oil mid-infusion, got some violet extract to drink in water, and had some violet marshmallows. As one does.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday: <\/strong>I had a discussion with my initiate (our ongoing tools discussion) and we also talked a bit about what things look like for the foreseeable future, around rituals and classes, and possible Dedicants. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThen I had a conversation with a Seeker (who will be starting Seeker classes at the end of the month) which was also great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weekend: <\/strong>I spent time both Saturday and Sunday working on a combination of things for both the handwritten Book of Shadows, and the electronic one. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
More work on all of the above, Dedicant class (Pagan history – um, in summary, there’s only so much you can fit in a couple of hours…) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
