Well I have dropped in an had a read but I have not done much more than that.

It has been an interesting 12 months with changing of jobs and looking for new houses planning babies and newer addictions than LJ on the internet :)

I am due to change jobs again next week, lets hope I can get a bit more than 6 months out of this one, I should as this one is not a contract.

I have started working on extending my family. rosey13 and I have started the path towards having a baby. We went and saw the naturopath on Sunday and have been what can only be described as "vial tasting" herbs to drink to clear out all the toxins to make sure everything is perfect when we go for through IVF in the next few months. In my past life I had 3 boys (one came with the mother) and was not looking at having any more children, so I ended up having the snip. When the ex left then there was only two lovely boys. With a new wife and a new life I want nothing more than to add to the family. When the next one (or two) comes along it will know that s/he was well wanted with the effort put into bringing them into the world. So we have to go to the mad scientist to have it done as it is so much cheaper and better % wise to actually be successful, than it is to have the snip reversed.

The other exciting thing is that my LJ Torana will soon be back on the street and I will be terrorising the locals with it. I built this car when I was 18 and have not driven it since 1991. So I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel again. I will post some photos in the next day or so as she is a beast. I have just bought a TV/DVD/Satalite TV/ MP3/ MP4 player for it with a 4000 watt amd and 3 1000 watt 10" subs it will be fun

I know I have said this a couple of times but I will try and be here more.

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Well it looks like what I need is to get back to basic's every now and again. I spent an amazing weekend in QLD at the Ritual Experience Air at Ewan Dam I think it was.

I have come away after doing 4 workshops and a ritual feeling like a new Witch. Having run a workshop also gave me back the confidence that I had lost that I can actually do something.

So over all I think I will have to go to at least one gathering every 6 months so that I do not loose touch with things again.

The only downside was the march flys and the mozzy's seriously I must have lost at least one litre of blood this weekend to the vampires of nature. :)

I Cant help myself :)

Menopause Jewellery

Note from the wife

My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings,
bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be
able to monitor my moods.

We've discovered that when I'm in a good mood, it
turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a big
f*#@ing red mark on his forehead.

Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond.

I know the man of many promises. I am just sticking my head up for air. We survived AWC and no one has complained so I am happy and it must have been ok. A big thanks to everyone involved.

It is 3 and a bit weeks till the handfasting so I am going insane finalising things for that. Let me tell you it is easier (and cheaper) to organise a gathering for 100 pagans than it is organising a wedding.

Life is good :) Busy but good. I have managed to get access through the computer at work so I may get to post a bit more often :)

Hope you are all well. I drop in to read often. Miss chatting with you all hopefully after November 4th things will slow down a bit.

Life the Universe and everything

The good news is that after 8 months I am now permanent at Daikin :)

Smart Paladin
55% Combativeness, 30% Sneakiness, 76% Intellect, 69% Spirituality

Valorous! Noble! Or possibly just a self-righteous jerk (but with the brains to keep you alive!)... You are a Smart Paladin!
Paladins are holy warriors. They are valorous defenders of the light. Unfortunately, most of them are so ardent in their defense they tend to meet sticky ends faster than you can say "rampaging red dragon." Many people look up to Paladins, while others just consider them stuck up, overbearing, or self-righteous.
Fortunately for you, unlike most Paladins, you're pretty smart. Which means that you're more likely to fall into the "admired" category, rather than the "obnoxious" or "dead" categories.
Much like the crusades, you manage to combine violence and religion, though unlike the crusades, you add a healthy does of intelligence. You may be a staunch defender of the faith, a valorous champion of the weak, or the stuff that jihads are made of. Which ever one you are, just be happy that you’ve got the smarts to back it up and make it work.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 47% on Combativeness

You scored higher than 50% on Sneakiness

You scored higher than 54% on Intellect

You scored higher than 87% on Spirituality

Counting the days

2005-09-09T04:39:17Z

It is only 6 days till I will be off to Darwin for the Australian Wiccan Conference. I am so looking forward to just getting away, it doesn't feel like 12 months since I went to the last one...and I am sure it will not feel like 12 months before we are running it here in Sydney next year.

I am looking forward to the break, as I will be spending a few days in Catherine after the gathering and then a few days with my High Priest Rhys in Brisbane just being boys and getting drunk and having a good time.

Then it is back for my new job on the 26th.

Blink......then it is Xmass :) where has the year gone.
