Photo for the day:
Beautiful, nearly Full Moon rising. I wanted this other shot of the
Moon between a pair of pine trees, except this asshole decided to park
his truck in the way, so it looked like I was taking a picture of his
truck. And he kept looking at me like I was being a jerk. ::sighs::
So I continued on, and got this shot instead. But next month! I’m
gonna get that damn pine tree shot, asshole or no asshole. He can just
piss up a rope for all I care.
So today, Hazel and I went to the CUUP’s public Lammas Ritual. Their
group revolves around the hearth – the heart of the home. And so their
Lammas ritual wasn’t much of an actual ritual. They are massive bakers
for damn sure. There were probably 20 different bread-things and they
had made this awesome Ritual Loaf. The loaf is kneaded by three members
of the coven – a maiden, a mother, and a crone. It was shaped to look
like a bushel of wheat.
The group is split, most being Norse based, which makes Hazel super
happy. It was nice to see her flitting around, getting to know
everyone. Me, as always, I’m far more reserved. The other part of the
group is more based on Celtic. All in all, a super welcoming
group….but. I dunno. A guy there really rubbed me the wrong way at the
start. But then maybe he was just overly keen about making us feel
welcome? I dunno. I am working on listening to my gut more, and my gut
did not like him one bit at the beginning. After talking with him, he
doesn’t seem that terrible. But. ::shakes her head:: But, that first
impression doesn’t dissipate.
And of course, Hazel loves the Heathen group. Which, I have to
admit, they seem to be really awesome. Especially the one who wants to
start a “Gay, Viking, Cowboy motorcycle gang”. ::laughs:: With Texas
become extremely lax in its weapon laws come September, it will be
perfectly legal to open carry handguns (as long as they are registered
and you have a permit) AND an axe, if one is so inclined. ::chuckles::
