Hark, let me not these days overlong endure; when I am to fall, let it be not with a whimper, but with mine armour fully arrayed, and a song upon my tongue to the Goddess who hath bid me come. Though my days may be brief, let every one be of worthy account.

I'm glad Mercury's retrograde is over.
Merry Solstice Weekend to All
I suggest that whatever deities of rain and storms you have a relationship or affinity toward, to make offerings and ask them to provide a suitable backdrop for the goings on in Washington tomorrow.
3/3 The environmental impact has to be for a reason, so maybe the output of that research can be used against those that would oppress us. Research for the resistance, for truth and for content that shakes the foundation of the alliance of oligarchs, religion, bigotry etc.
My latest Ebook Read. The ancient texts offer much context and a basis for our practices of today.

2/3 That regulation is eons away though given our current political environment. So what until then? Peer pressure? Negative PR? I don't know but perhaps part of the solution is focusing on what it is good at: Fast research and citing human reviewed sources. Synthesized output of all that.
1/3 Whatever your viewpoint on ai artwork and i do agree that most of it out there is not good, and wrongfully trained on artists that may lose money because of its proliferation (myself included), it seems to me we have to reach a place where it will be regulated because it's not going away
This Cocktail from Wayfinder Brewing in Troutdale, Oregon is called "The Priestess of Isis"
Yes? What maybe I do for you.
Latourell Falls, Near Portland Yesterday. Outing with my sweetie, kids and grandkids
My latest library read. So far, reading about the actual historic Faustus has been interesting.
A rose from our garden
Happy belated Beltane to all. We have been quite busy in our yard, but have had the opportunity to celebrate a bit as well.
2/2 I've read so much about the old Occult practitioners from the various centuries. Fascinating.
1/2 New Library read and I'm loving it. I'm going to buy it. Lately I've been wanting to read more about esotericism and Solomonic Magic and this seems like a great on ramp for that. Heretofore, my studies have been primarily Witchcraft Eclectic and Heathenry focused. #witchsky #occultsky
The coast from this last weekend. Canon Beach
My next library read.

A short meditation to honor teamwork:
With joined intent, the stillness breaks, As harmony our action makes. Each hand and voice in concert rise, Through common cause, we mobilize.
Pic is a vineyard west of Salem, Oregon.
Thank you 😊
The Horned Moon was Magical last night. Here is a prayer cast to Her/Him:
Oh, Horned Moon, sliver bright,
Arc of promise in the night,
As you hang, a silver bow,
Bless the paths where I must go

2/2 Gimme that good old time pagan religion? Where's the wickerman when you want one?
1/2 Does anyone else feel like rebelling against modernism in spiritual practice at times? I don't work with any deity, I honor them, all this manifestation and new age stuff about magic not being real, it is a religion to me, I want to bend my knee etc..im feeling curmudgeonly #witchsky
It's Trans Day of Visibility on Monday. The Truth is I feel invisible, angry and hurting. I'm not sure how long I will remain in this life but I do know that I love my life and my wife and my loved ones and nothing I do is lightly or as a reaction. I have at least one more book to get out.
2/2 The adversity of falling from heights or privilege and acceptance to the depths of the opposite, also led me to become a writer. Very few peeps from my old life even speak to me, yet I have so much to offer the world in terms of my work, art and ability to mentor others. Etc
1/2 Me: in addition to all the art and pagan stuff I post. I've been a President of two companies and have traveled the world. I've led thousands of employees. I've been self employed for nine years because of my transition.
I'll frequently honor the Gods and Goddesses of the day of the week at our Altar. The day is a good reminder.
My next library read. I like the fact that it includes journaling prompts. Mr robo mouse says hi.

Another great library book. Practical magic has been with us in an unbroken chain since the beginning of humanity. This book explores mainly how it manifested itself throughout everyday life.
