Lil Moons & Firestone

I came across these cracked quartz 20 mm beads while I was at Michael’s. I was there to pick up boxes to mail the oils to my friends. I’m really hoping the various layers I’m employing will keep the oil vials safe until they reach their destinations.

And I was looking around for some moon charms to gussy up the plain white 7-day candle I have for full moons. Instead, I came across these beads. To me, they look like perfect miniature moons! I am not sure if I’ll use them for the candle, but I just couldn’t pass them up. I am thinking of making a garland with them – 13 for the 13 full moons that typically occur in a year. Or I had a vision of a necklace made of three of these, and some of the smaller ones (that look like even smaller moons) and then the rest of the necklace is made of tiny pearls. It would be beautiful to wear specifically for lunar rituals. I should really sketch out that necklace before it dissipates from my mind.

So hopefully tomorrow morning-ish, I can mail out the oils to Annie, Nona, and Francesca. In the afternoon, Hazel and I will be attending one of the local Pagan chapters of the UU’s Lammas public ritual (which I’ll give Hazel her oil before we go to that). And THEN on Sunday, I am hoping to meet up with Linda so I can pass along HER oil. And after that, I’m pretty sure I’m going to be completely social-ed the fuck out.

I finally got my car back around 3 pm today. Turns out it was the starter – so a much cheaper fix than an alternator. And I was reminded all too well why I do not like that particular Firestone. ::shakes her head:: But I refuse to delve into that. No sense in rehashing crap I already know. Now, next month I will get another opinion on the brakes and the battery. I have ZERO trust in that particular Firestone.
