"... one of the stumbling blocks in this process is learning to translate intuitive feelings into conscious words. In ritual use, the power of the word is learned, and also the power of holding true to the words we have given" from Paul Beyerl's Master Book of Herbalism.

I have been keeping track of my dreams in an effort to develop my abilities as a seer. Last night I got my first glimpse. I dreamt that one of my friends asked me the name of a mall, and when I woke up this morning I saw that I had gotten a text message in the middle of the night from one of my friends asking me the name of a mall. 

Perfectly framed through the gap between my wall and window shade a perfect crescent moon, waning in scorpio was staring me down. 

I truly just saw the most heinous thing ever. It was someone's modified Snoopy picture, presented at the top of someone's blog designed to look like Snoopy typing on a apple computer.

I hope to find a suitor soon, because I am in need of eating Martha's faux bois wedding cake! It really is a perfect combo. I love faux bois, I love cakes, and I love pretending to want a wedding.

Also, WTF, she has a whole section of her website devoted to "woodland cakes". What a total freak. I'm lovin it.

A dream I have had twice and which I hope will become a new recurring dream is one where I speak to cats in English and wonder why they had never communicated with me before. One of them was a fictional cat named French Fry. The other was a cat I know named Marylou.
