I tried to walk the Dearinth yesterday but got halfway into it when I realized that the rest of the paths were in a section filled with shoulder tall flowering weeds covered in bees. I just couldn't complete the pattern under those circumstances and I felt very unsettled about it. It was something like a magickal coitus interruptus. Later in the evening Tom and I went back out and walked it when the bees had returned to their homes. I felt relieved and blissful afterwards.
This morning I worked on a long email and then did my exercises. I noticed that my knees are giving me pain again and I wonder why. Is it a dietary thing, perhaps? They were better after my vision quest and at Starwood. Both times my diet was restricted and lacked dairy products and meat.
I actually did work on Dragon's Breath today. In fact I think I have it about half done. I am still waiting for some nest reports from other nests and I want to write a brief article on Hecate. It should really be done already so I can pass it on to Ken, who will get it up on the web.
We have a Pagan Pride meeting tonight. I am not enthusiastic about it though as I would rather just stay in tonight but we need to get geared up for this soon. After Grow Closer, I really need to turn my attention to Pagan Pride and get moving on it. One thing I have learned is that this isn't my thing. I like working with the committee just fine but my heart is in working with the CAW community and not the Neo-Pagan community in general. And it seems harder to pull things together over this community, which is not only diverse but somewhat fractured. Groups tend to do their own things and not join together as much in larger efforts, it seems to me. Of course, I have just said that I am more interested in my own thing myself:) But I am willing to come together to help a larger group. I just prefer to utilize my organizational skills with my church and be support personnel in other venues.
