I sure had a lot of plans for this weekend and amazingly I managed to get everything done except the part where I just chill and stitch.  Too exhausted in the times when I had a bit of time.  But that’s cool.  Everything is now ready for me to create.

I got my two weeks of laundry done at the laundromat (easy but expensive), got all the furniture returned that I decided not to use, went to Gaia’s Temple, did AA phones, cleaned my house, all furniture is arranged, decorated or undecorated, moved, dusted, buffett is purged of unnecessary clutter.  In addition to all of that I had a lovely time with My Beloved.  We just keep getting better and better.  Yay!

In what off time I’ve had, I have been reading Phyllis Curott’s “Love Spells.”  Written like her book “Book of Shadows” it is autobiographical in nature.  While she does do a couple love spells in the course of the tale, what the she mostly writes about is our daemon, or anima/us.  And what the function of an amina/us is.  I’ve found this to be so incredibly validating, a very honest confession of hers.  I have felt as though at times I was reading my own story and it made clear why I made some of the choices I made regarding the partners I have chosen in my life.

At any rate, I think it is a must read for anyone who has had a relationship, Wiccan or not.  Really, really powerful stuff.  But if you are a witch, as I am, then you might find this enjoyable for many other reasons.

My apartment feels bigger, lighter, I think that I have changed the flow of chi in the place in a big way, on autopilot, just feeling my way.  My place has always been comfy and relaxing but it is even more so now.  Sitting in my bed at night reading feels really great, my sleep patterns are changing, sleeping in the middle of the bed so thoroughly that the other pillows end up on the floor, never happened before. 

I continue to sort things out and little by little I’m working my way through every cubby, every drawer, every shelf.  If you have ever wanted to but put it off as too daunting of a task I can only say that it’s changing my life and how I live.  In ways I never expected.  This has been the year of the purge.  Old habits, behaviors, relationships, things, stuff, dust, chaos, buh bye.
