The one with a citation and henna
Saturday: Midsummer ritual at the Grove. Our Midsummer rituals are always considered a Fools right, because we like to have fun with them. This one was still fun, but on a slightly more serious note. It was influenced by Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream”, calling deities of seership rather than specific deities of choice. I was able to spend time with my good friends, and spend the majority of the day before ritual cleaning and purging things around the Grove, being overall productive. I also got two tarot decks out of one of the purges, and set another 15 or so out for sale to help support the Grove. I’m not particularly interested in tarot or divination, but it’s something I like to look into once in a while.
When I got home and opened my mail, I had a citation from the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office for not stopping fully at a red-light before turning right. There is $75 down the drain. A lesson learned. Especially since I have put so much effort into frugality, getting my raise, and optimizing my bills lately. It’s somewhat of a slap in the face.
They’ve thrown me into a .NET environment at work. It’s somewhat interesting, but I imagine I will frustrate myself as I attempt to learn and understand.
My sister is over now, playing WoW while I mess around on my new laptop. She got her period today, and seems somewhat scared and unsure about it. They taught her about it in school years ago, but she still asks me questions. At one point in time I had wanted to do a Rite of Passage for her once she finally got it, but her disinterest in paganism in general changed my mind.
However, tomorrow I will be doing all of my hair in henna, and will also do a stripe of hers for her. I’m not sure if she wants to go the deep red route or what, but it will be her choice. Our mother will be fairly pissed off about it, but that’s what I do best. She has naturally red hair, so straight henna should do a very interesting dark red.
