Unfinished Thoughts
I'm going home tonight for the weekend. Some friends of Diane's are getting married, so I've taken the opportunity to take some time off to spend at home with my family. I'm not excited about the long drive, because I won't be home until after 11:00, but I'll be ok. I've got some Sherlock Holmes audio books to listen to, and just the anticipation of being home to look forward to. And saturday morning cartoons :)Diane phoned me last night with an interesting speculation. The "gravel pit", that piece of land from which we have been exiled, is owned by an older man by the name of Ed. Ed called yesterday and told Diane he was coming down to talk to her, but he didn't show. She talked to her mom later that evening, asking if she knew why Ed had called. It turns out that Diane's dad had talked to Ed, and mentioned that we, Diane and I, were interested in buying the property if he ever decided to sell. My hope is that Ed wants to discuss terms to sell us the land. I've always wanted to build a house there, and even just to be able to go there again....
I've started reading a piece on shamanism from Questia in light of my recent animality. The aspects of transformation found in shamanism are of interest to me. The ideas of shape-shifting, of communicating with spirits and more nature based forms of magic could only add to the fundemental foundation I'm building toward eclectic witchcraft. In many cases, shamanism predates modern forms of magic, and has strong connections with the Norse gods and Odin, specifically.
Today's Rune:
Kenaz- Torch
Inspiration, knowledge and bringing light to the dark. Fitting, I think, with my interest in shamanism. Gaining new knowledge through inspiration of feeling feral.

now. that. would. be. cool.
Which part?
the possibility that you and Diane could buy the property. That's a dream come true, mayhaps. =)
She's worried we can't afford it. But I figured we'd rent it to her dad, leave it unimproved and move her horse there to graze :)
but yet she owns a horse? what's more important? your future or owning a very expensive animal?
some people just don't make sense to me.
Well, we haven't even had the opportunity to talk about whether or not we're buying it or if Ed even wants to sell it. But it's not a matter of having a little bit of land. He'll likely want to sell the whole section, which could cost us anywhere from $140,000-$200,000. Plus the mortage we already have.
Such is my life. Weird, indeed.
Have a good weekend. I'll talk to you on monday :)
