New goodies

Ok, so I haven't gotten off the Tarot high yet.  I'm still checking out decks in every store I go and occasionally drooling over the "eye candy".  I added to the collection at home and enjoying every minute of it. 

 

The newest additions to the chests are Madame Endora's Fortune Cards (with artwork by Christine Filipak) and the Revelations Tarot Boxed Set by Zach Wong.  (courtesy of the ladies at Isis  www.isisbooks.com)   Both are lovely to behold and satisfy my cravings.  The big thing that draws me to a deck is the illustrations.  They need to cause a reaction for me.  For the moment, Madame Endora's is my piece of fluffly cotton candy (and this isn't a bad thing so don't go getting huffy).  Revelations is the first deck where reversals actually make sense to me.  Not bad for someone's first published deck.  I'll share more about these two as my familiarity grows.

 

Now let's prusue through the book shelves and see what else I've added.  Hmm...Playing Card Divination for Beginners by Richard Webster.....Everyday Tarot Magic by Dorothy Morrison (lovely woman but definitely intimidating in the flesh)....Bulfinch's Mythology ( a bargain purchase in hardback)....Rituals of the Dark Moon by Gail Wood.....Dark Moon Mysteries by Timothy Roderick (the start of a whole new article)...latest catalogs from Sacred Source  www.sacredsource.com  and The Pyramid Collection  www.pyramidcollection.com  ...Ivanhoe (needs to be packed with the other antiques)...Classic Erotic Tales (now what in blazes is that doing there.  Definitely in the wrong bookcase).  As you can see, I may not have been typing recently but I've definitely got some reading to do.  I'll type at you later...Bright Blessings

 

(In case you haven't gotten the whiff yet from other postings, I'm a big one for doing free advertising.  I love to share my love of books and encourage people down new roads and avenues in their journey.  But I'll also be the first to tell you that what works for me may not be the path for you.)

The Blogger, next chapter

Has it been that long since I actually shared my thoughts with you?? Amazing and frustrating, isn't it? So much stress, so much frustration, and some things fall to the wayside. Such is life sometimes....unfortunately. Let us see, what can I share with you and still keep my peace of mind and some semblance of privacy? Nothing against the people that read this, but I'm not in a hurry to have crosses burning in my yard and people calling up to "save my soul". You gotta remember, I'm from the South (and yes, that's with a capital). There are just some things you don't go talking about. Not if you want to keep your life on the same even keel it has been. In other words, ya don't want to rock the boat. Screaming that you're a "born-again pagan" at the top of your lungs doesn't just rock the boat...it blows it completely out of the water. I'm not that good at swimming in the first place, why double my chances of drowning?

Let's see...what was I talking about in the first place....oh yeah, how life's been going lately.

Well, I survived the assistant training program and got sent back to the store and given this wonderful area called Division 27 (aka Bakery and Commercial Bread). Still not sure sometimes if I'm doing any good there. I'm on my 3rd bakery lead in as many months. I'm in the process of negotiations for a house + 39.62 acres of land. I don't panic about it unless I start thinking about 30yr mortgages and the bill in the end. My lover on the other hand is about to go off the deep end. He's already lost one house in this lifetime. He's afraid of losing this one and the damage it could do to my credit (since mine will be the only name on the house...another long story there for some other time). He swings between wanting to shoot himself, the realtor, and the loan officer, depending on his mood and the day of the week. I've "come out of the broom closet" , so to speak, to some of the people that work with and for me. The thing that's got me about ready to have a litter of kittens is the idea of my immediate supervisor finding out my choice of religion. I see it going one to two extremes, and neither of them's good. It's not that I won't stand up for my choices, it's that I hate fighting in the first place (now combine that with someone that's earned a red sash in Southern Mantis Kungfu and a blue belt in Tong Soo Do and it gets really weird). That's my personal headache of the moment, especially since the man annoys me in the first place with his misplaced sense of tact (he can't remember where he left it).

**shakes head**

My thoughts and feelings can get downright rude and blunt sometimes. Probably the main reason I keep my mouth shut around people I don't know. It keeps me out of trouble.

I think that's enough confessions for now. Got other subjects to write about. Until next soul bearing....Bright Blessings..
