Not being able to blog off my phone is incredibly annoying.

That said, not being able to blog on the run has its advantages, such as being able to properly plan my blogs and then figure out the best way to present them to you.

Now, on with the blog (^_^)

A short poem:

Pelicans in the twilight;
A peach coloured sky.
Let the dark of the night descend.

Thank you, thank you!

As a class we've reached a rather interesting point in our studies:  Magick and the application thereof.  Well, the basics of it, I should actually say.  I won't go into details ( just in case you were wondering ), but I will say that magick isn't for everyone.  The precision that goes into it can't be learned overnight, and once you have that down, you have to learn to be able to construct a spell properly.  Then there are the Laws of Magick ( yes, Harry Potter ran into a few of them, too ) and the ethics, as well as the different grades and views on what Grey, Black and White magick are and involve.  Hectic, I tell you!

But all worth it.  If I think about all the times I really wanted to use a spell or a ritual for something, I want to blush for wanting to rush headlong into things - and this is "before" I was even Pagan!  I'm glad I always found a way to make things right without the use of magick, but what if I had encountered a situation I couldn't fix in theusual manner?  I'm thinking I would have made such a blunder of it as to get myself into trouble.  Thank you, Lord Zedd, for your help and patience.

Over the last few days I've been doing a lot of reading about the Titans and I feel I found the original subject of "woman scorned":  the Titan Gaia.  For those who don't know, the Titan Gaia was one of the two original Titans, the other being her husband Uranus.  At some point in their marriage this twit went and buried three of her sons underground so that they wouldn't know the light.  In her anger she created a great stone sickle and called together her sons to exact her revenge.  However, of all of them, only the Titan Cronus (Kronos) was willing to carry out her revenge.  So Gaia hid Cronus in ambush and when Uranus came to see his wife, Cronus jumped out and sliced off his dad's nuts.  Yes, that's right:  he deknackered hid daddy.

As a side note, this is why images of Cronus show him with a sickle, and why the sickle was his emblem.

How's that for not fucking with a mother, eh?

Righto, here's me leaving now.  Love you all!
