Early Wednesday Musings

I am that merry wanderer of the night.

A Card Drawn

Ten of Coins

Successful manifestation, wealth, prosperity & abundance on all levels of being.

With creative endeavors, healing & communication, riches await.

For me, this card is an indication of good things to come on many levels.

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...

The night,  the waning moon

I am thinking...

about my ritual celebrating the Lesser Mysteries this weekend

I am thankful for...

teachers & friends who encourage & support

From the kitchen...

the kettle heats

I am wearing...

a nightgown with polka dots

I am creating...

a ritual for the Mysteries, stitches, as always, music

I am going...

to do what needs to be done

I am reading...

everything about Eleusis that I have

(a considerable amount of resources, I assure you!)

I am hoping...

always for the best

I am hearing...

Satie's Gymnopedies (most favorite music)

Around the house...

the Schmoodle chases a catnip bundle, Mike sleeps,

all is right and cozy here.

One of my favorite things...

a silver fern leaf I am wearing on a necklace

A few plans for the rest of the week:

stitch, study, work on the ritual for the weekend

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

I have succeeded because I have seen the sacred actions in Eleusis.

- Herakles in Euripides' Madness of Herakles -

Blessings nine!

How many scissors???

I was curious about how many pairs of embroidery scissors I actually have. After all, I just displayed my newest pair in yesterday's stash update and I await the arrival of my spiderweb scissors. Gentle reader, thirteen pairs, soon to be fourteen! Should I hang my head in shame? Should I admit to an addiction, obsession or madness? Certainly not!!! I know that in the world of embroideresses everywhere, there are many just like me!!!

So much for wallowing in scissor madness. I am going to try this little blog thing from The Simple Woman's Daybook - so here goes!

The dark of night, a chilly wind

I am thinking...

peaceful thoughts

I am thankful for...

my wonderful life, my loving husband & the Schmoodle, my great friends.

From the kitchen...

a cup of Sleepytime Tea is brewing

I am wearing...

a soft pink nightgown with satin trim.

I am creating...

stitches, a bracelet & music

I am going...

to sit in my Queen's chair and sip tea.

I am reading...

Athene, Virgin & Mother In Greek Religion - Karl Kerenyi,

Emma & The Werewolves - Jane Austen & Adam Rann

The Hills of Home - Peggy Poe Stern

I am hoping...

for a glorious week

I am hearing...

music from various Jane Austen movies

Around the house...
