• Ok, to start off, lemme explain the oracle...

  
  

  I'm not sure if it's in the Cunningham book or not, H.  It's not essential to witchcraft at all.  It's just something I bought for myself.  It's like a deck of tarot cards, but it doesn't necessarily predict the future.  I use it for guidance & insight into a situation, the direction my life is headed, etc.  The oracle I have is a druid animal oracle.  It uses animals, their symbolism & our connection to them.  And it is druidic/celtic in origin...It gives the celtic names, uses Ireland & Scotland as a background & describes what each animal represented to the druids.  The book also describes what it means if you draw the card reversed (or up-side down).  Each card is one animal, and there are different spreads or ways of laying out the cards.  Different spreads shed insights on different things, some in more detail than others.  I haven't been using this long, it's just something I do for myself & it has been a very powerful tool for me.  I do hope that cleared things up 

  
  

  Today sucked.  The day just DRAGGED on.  We were all tired from the party last night.  The funny thing was no stayed out late & no one got wasted.  Some people drank, but no one was drunk.  But we all dragged our asses today    And all the clients today tested my patience.  Every one I got was a pain-in-the-ass Hamali (will explain that word in a minute) who just didn't get it & annoyed the shit out of me    But I survived & didn't kill or even mame anyone    LOL.  Ok, so Hamali is Maltese.  For lack of a better translation, it means pain in the ass.  Diane, my licensed tech at Basic Pet Care, from back in the day, taught me that word.  She lived in Malta for a short while, so that's how she knows it.  It's great because no one knows what you mean by it, so you can say it openly & not offend anyone   

  
  

  I'm waiting to hear from Stephen...We may get together tonight.  He & Lynn & Kelly are exchanging gifts tonight, so it depends on him.  If not maybe we'll catch up tomorrow or Monday.  He & I talked for a little bit last night.  I swear, if it weren't for the HUGE age difference, he WOULD be perfect.  I guess I'll just wait it out.  We decided last night that we will put pics of my new tattoo in the photo album at the studio, but my face won't show.  I'm proud of this piece as is Lynn (and she should be!), but I don't want to walk in & have the other clients staring at me knowing those are MY breasts.  They're also going to submit the pics to Tattoo magazines (at least one), which I think is just soooooooooo cool!    I will keep you up-dated on that.  Well, I should go feed Akhenaten, eat & clean.  Sigh...This place is such a wreck.  Between the depression of the bullshit with Mike last week & the stress of that, work, holiday shit, Stephen & the TV show stuff, I really let it go & it kills me.  Comparative to the place I used to live in, this place looks great, but it bothers me because in reality, it DOESN'T look great.  Oh well.  I should just shut up about it & do something about it    Good night, world.
