bookofmirrorsOn another note, I finally attempted to take a ritual bath yesterday. This did NOT work out. I had gotten incense, bath salts, champagne, lit the candle on Yemanja's altar, gave her fresh rum (did the same for Osun and Sango... Sango's spilled when I put it back on the shelf; I took that to mean he didn't want it... and gave the Baron some more brandy). Even took my wand and cast a circle. It wasn't until I finally settled down into the hot water that I noticed the seal on the drain apparently wasn't in the best shape. I'd always taken showers before, so I had never actually used it previously. So, by the time I had just started getting relaxed, the water had all drained away, and I was getting cold, and not at all in a relaxed or meditative state.
::sigh::
I'll try it with our bathroom next, and maybe have better luck, but not today. Much cleaning to do.
Afterwards, I was feeling very tired, and I went to bed. I tried to meditate. I saw myself in a desert, but had trouble going much beyond that. I heard something tell me it would talk to me in my dreams, and I remember thinking to myself that that was my own copout, just wanting to go to sleep. I did, anyway, and I don't recall any dreams from that particular (6 hour) nap.

Date: 2003-04-05 01:21 pm (UTC)But I'd FINALLY gotten around to doing it like I used to, with the whole production and the like. I "secretly" love that whole production, you know. :)
It was just that I'd psyched myself up for it, even when my house was less than perfect. I'd set this GREAT stage, and was all READY for it, and then it fizzled. If I'd psyched myself up for pouring water over my head and lighting a candle, that would have been something different, but I was just WAY bummed that it turned out the way it did. I completely lost the headspace for it.
Ah, well. Next time...
