Getting ready...

First off... Happy Birthday to my beautiful Chas! I love you more and more each day... you are the love of my life and I feel nothing short of divinely fortunate to call you my husband.

Tomorrow morning I leave for Feri Camp where I will be teaching about the Feri Guardians, as well as giving some other workshops including one on the Amethyst Pentacle. I've spent today making sure that I am all packed and prepped. There's been so much to do! I just barely was able to get my luggage stuffed and weighed and I'm just under the restricted weight limit. (I'll be selling some books and such there and have to schlep them there myself, so I've been packing, and arranging, and taking inventory, blah, blah, blah.) I'm exhausted, but if it's half as good as last year then it will all be worth it.

I wont have cell phone coverage or access to the internet while I am there (gasp! sputter!) but I am looking forward to my time "off the grid" so to speak. It really is beautiful land there. I promise to come home with pictures.

Wish me luck...

258-year-old gay rights text documented

The lost book Ancient and Modern Pederasty Investigated and Exemplified was written in 1749 by Thomas Cannon, and was partially preserved in handwritten court documents used to suppress its publication.

"This must be the first substantial treatment of homosexuality ever in English," says Dr Hal Gladfelder, who discovered the references in a box of uncatalogued legal documents from the time.

The Wisdom of Carl Sagan

Yanked from http://www.smart-kit.com/s225/:

If you look carefully at the NASA photo below, you will see a little white dot. This minute speck is Earth seen from the Voyager 1 spacecraft as it exits the solar system, nearly 4 billion miles away. The photo was taken back in 1990.



Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.

– Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

One of the many reasons I love my husband.

Next week Chas (carnivalia) and I will celebrate our 14th anniversary. On this day of romance and chocolates I found myself going through old papers a bit while he was at work and I found a little note that he left me from perhaps a year or two ago. It was left for me on some occasion in which he was not here in the morning and I had to get his mom up and showered and fed. As I made my bleary-eyed way to our beverage bar that morning to make (the much-needed) coffee (without which I am a very cranky person but that is nothing compared to the passive aggressive nasty attitude that emanates from his mother under such circumstances) I was greeting by this little blue note that made me smile. I share it with you all so that you can have some idea of the quirky sense of humor that he has, which is one of the many reasons why 14 years doesn't feel like it has been even half that long.



And so I took his advice and made her a Frothé (an instant mix which had been sitting in the back of our cupboard for awhile just waiting for an instance like this) and everything was fine.

I love you, sweetheart.

Happy Valentine's Day!

From my friend Peter Grahame at Ironic Horse Studio:

What I got for Solstice...

OK... Sex filter post #1! (Yay!)

It's a bit late, but look what I got for Solstice! Well... actually, I got this a long time before solstice (like a year or so before) but I didn't have any of the hardware to set-it up until southernpm bought all the "stuff" and installed it for us, the price for doing so, of course, was a chance to be able to help break it in... which I happily (and piggishly) agreed to. :)



Getting the sling originally was part fetish and part joke; I have always wanted one (don't look at me like that!) but they were always so expensive... I had asked my husband carnivalia for one for my birthday one year and he jokingly told me that he might get me a used one on eBay. I had never thought of that... so I checked eBay myself and got this one for under $50. (Yes... I made sure it was cleaned before I used it!)  ;)

Let me just say that I love it. It's hanging in our temple-room which makes it a place better suited for worshiping the kind of Gods that really interest me. ;) And it's really easy to take down when I need the temple for more "conventional" use. I'm thinking, though, that I shall paint the temple black to give it that really satanic/sex dungeon feel, which will be great for fucking, and great for meditating in the "normal" way, too. But I don't think Chas is really on board with that yet, so I will need to work on him some more.

I'm also thinking that I should write more sex magick rituals now... and of course, practice, practice, practice! 

No more star-spangled Joss

Joss Whedon has been let go from the Wonder Woman movie project. Today I drown my sorrows in drink. :(

Sex filter?

So, I've been meaning to put together a sex filter here for some time and am just now getting around to it. Right now, if you are able to read this that means that you are already on my filter! Everyone that I have chosen so far is a gay man just because I'm more comfortable with that. (Which of course means that if you are reading this and you are NOT a gay man, then I have mistakenly added you, but if you still want to read about how much dick I sucked or whatnot then more power to you.) With that in mind it's very important that if you do NOT wish to be on this filter that you let me know right away. Just post a comment to this post to let me know either way... all comments to this entry will be screened to protect everyone's privacy. :)

For those of you that opt to stay in this filter you should be aware that I may post things here that are NSW (Not Safe for Work) and/or just general descriptive entries about my sex life. Again, if you do not want to be here then let me know and I will happily remove you from the filter. I don't want to be accused of cramming my sex-life down anyone's throat, unless of course you are into that sort of thing. ;)
