witchscauldronAnd here we are, nearing May. Beltaine for me is the 6th of May, so I still have time to prepare all the stuff I'll need. I have a ton of cooking to do. I have a nasty suspicion it is going to be cold and wet, and I will still be outside, so I'm packing lots of warm things for when we're there. We are hoping it'll be decent enough to let us have a fire, at least.
I was given a stick during the Bríd invocation in February as a stand-in for my non-existent spear. It was what we called the "Tyr-stick" - D. would take it out with him when he took Tyr, their hound, out into the yard. So..since it was my weapon as one of Bríd's warriors, it's now my Tyr-stick. Except I gapped out, and didn't bring it home until last weekend when I was reminded. It's a stang - two-pronged fork on top - and I took it down to bare wood and sharpened the prongs on Tuesday. I will be putting something hound-ish - knotwork or something - on it somewhere, and hopefully staining it a rich red colour. I call it Cú-ùrlann - literally 'Hound Spear-staff'.
This weekend? Not so much with the anything. Some shopping, time at home sitting around, some City of Heroes. We've been away so many weekends that this is entirely a good thing.
I haven't been talking to anyone. Certainly nothing new.
Zathras doesn't seem well right now. He's been sitting in a chair he doesn't normally sit in for nearly a day now,. He's eating, but I don't know that he's alright, since he doesn't purr when I touch him. Normally he purrs when I look at him. He's not bugging me at the computer, either. :( He just sits in his chair. I hope my boy is ok. If this persists we'll have to see a vet.
I've been reading - I got a copy of Deborah Lipp's 'Elements of Ritual', and 'Way of Four'. They're well-written, and good to have, but they're not sparking anything in me like I hoped they would. 'Way of Four, is interesting, but mostly in a "I already knew that" sort of way. 'Elements of Ritual' kinda bogs down about 2/3 of the way through, and becomes slightly more obtuse to read.
Oh well. I have housework needing to be done. Be well.
