Random Building Details.

[badstar]

on the way out to the Grove yesterday, Steph pinted out that the stained glass windows in a house across the street were cool, and I agreed (Blue/tan abstract kinda design...then I noticed that the house next door had a stained glass window with a pentacle in it, and realized that she was talking about that one. They're both pretty.


Then rinding the bus up Harford road, I looked out the window and up towards the top of a building...not sure what it used to be, but in tiled letters I saw the name "Apollo"

Is it a sign?

[fuego.livejournal.com]

my one roommate commented as much

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

Hm…pretty stained glass always means something ;]

[fuego.livejournal.com]

there's a method of divination somewhere in that you know...i don't know what it is, but...it's there...

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

The endless forms of the divine taking place in the multitude of earthly objects; a true paradox.

[fuego.livejournal.com]

paradox? I don't see it that way...the divine is within everything

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

Some days if my toes move a certain way I may interpret their movements and learn the secrets of my future.

:-P

Oh, I’m just a playing with ya. Although I do find the millions of forms of divination a tad silly ;-]

[fuego.livejournal.com]

I waffle between finding many of them silly and seeing how they could make total sense.

though, i tend to stick to tarot and runes.

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I tend to stick to things of personal value (i.e. given by the deity in question) and the Limyran Oracle/Runes.

runes drawn on cupcakes with icing are fun

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

:laughs:

[fuego.livejournal.com]

we had them at midsummer. the box of cupcakes was covered with aluminum foil, and our seer selected the runes by poking his finger through the foil and into a cupcake.

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun!

[fuego.livejournal.com]

well...i think you read about my midsummer ritual. fun is just one word that was applied...

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

:]

[fuego.livejournal.com]

yeah, Samhain's so not gonna be like Midsummer.

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

I will have lived in this house for 3 years on said day...

[fuego.livejournal.com]

ah, congrats?

[psyilax.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess you could say that :P

Strange how fast times goes by, sad really...

[fuego.livejournal.com]

yeah, definitely

That house sounds absolutely gorgeous-- would that I could have read your post, driven up there, photographed it, and put it in the "my favorite designs" board that I'm presenting this morning. :)

As for Apollo, you'd probably like the company that I do freelance writing for. Apollo is the name of one of their systems (not one that I use, so I'm not sure what it does) and Hermes is the name of their database production system (the one I work on). Of course, Hermes is slow and down a lot, so I think it works out to be more of an insult to Him than a tribute.

BTW, when is the next open ritual at Cedar Light? And would you mind me asking a couple of logistical questions? (Especially this: what's the seating like?)

[fuego.livejournal.com]

ask away!

the next ritual will be on Sept 16th (that's a Hellenic ritual, and I believe you said you were more interested in Celtic? But you're welcome to come to that of course) ...the next High Day ritual will be 9/23 and if this one isn't Celtic, I will die of shock.

Rituals are held outside in the sanctuary. Seating space is plentiful. You can stand, sit on the ground or sit on a chair or bench- we have lots of chairs and a couple of benches, but if you want to bring your own, you're welcome to. We only retreat inside if the weahter is really too dangerous to be outside- I think you read about the weather at Midsummer? We were inside for Imbolc this year, but it was raining just as badly at Midsummer....and it was probably 60 degrees colder.

anyhtign else you want to know, just ask!
