Imbolc

[badstar]

Imbolc today...crazy! Tons of people *in* the Grove for a high rite due to the insane amounts of rain...whoa. The oracle reading was unique, Caryn and Jackie and I each read for one of three aspects of Brigid... I read for Brigid of the Bards, Jackie read for Brigid of the Forge, and Caryn for Brigid of the Cauldron. I used my runes...they're finaly making sense to me after having them for about a year and a half. Lots of good food, including an amazing shepheard's pie courtesy of pagandenma, black cheery pie, tiramisu, brownies, some potato thing that Caryn made that I can't spell...you get the idea. It's aways fun seeing everyone, and the thunderstorm tonight was wonderful. Matt and I hung out on the porch for about an hour and a half waxing philosophical about the idea of truth and the existance of the universe. He also helped to shed a little light on some thigns that have been going on for me lately. Jackie wandered in and out of the conversation, comically worried half the time, particuarly when Matt just stod out in the pouring rain. The look on her face when he came back on the porch and the rain amost stopped, and then went back out and yelled "Hail Thor"...and torrential downpours would start again within seconds...was just priceless. He did this several times.

Time to go to sleep so I can get up again in the morning, go to the Book Thing to see what books I can find, and then go to the Grove. Brigettte (new roommate) is going with me, and before she leaves to come back to the house and work on unpacking (Not staying all day like I am), we're going to take a run to a cat rescue shelter near the Grove to meet a cat that I might be interested in adopting. Yay, kitties! If that goes well, I may be bringing home a kitty next weekend. *happydance*

okay, I need to sleep...intended to sleep long ago...

Considering that was the first time I tried making them from scratch! (I usually save ordering it for being at Mick O'Shea's or other Irish pubs)

But what fun to make. And what a mess of my poor kitchen! But then again, the messier the kitchen, the better the food that's been made!

Mick O'Shea's is good, but I like yours better!

Messy kitchen does often equal good food.


Oh, wait til you see the grove...it's like a whole other place. It's so much bigger! I did a number on the healing rom, but it still needs work. I need to get cedar and lavender oils an mix up some of the room spray for my own house. There's plenty left at the grove for future use though.
