It's still snowing here. It's like the weather has just finally clued in that the Mother has been sleeping without blankets, and is trying to compensate. *chuckles* The snow looks nice...but oddly I also feel strongly content when there is no snow in winter. There's a lovely muted golden-brown-grey theme (although many people won't agree that it's lovely), and you can walk everywhere, without snow in the way, getting wet, bugs, leaves, or other assorted nonsense. Mind you, I also like leaves, and bugs, and getting wet - just not in winter, when it's also cold.
COLD. Damn. It has been hella cold some nights...you can feel the wind spirits biting you - no kidding. I swear some of them want to take chunks out of your skin. I keep meaning to walk, but the cold has sunk into me pretty deep this year - my mind is cold, my bones are cold, my spirit is cold. I just want to sleep forever.
Still, the magick of the season, whatever the origin of my seemingly strong connection to it, has caught me every so often. I go outside, and if it's snowing I want to play. I want to hunt the crunchy mice-treats that run under the snow's crust. I want to leave my tracks under the shadows of trees in moonlight. It's a testament to the strength of my depression and my inertia that I instead sit inside the house and do nothing.
I'm still trying to get stuff done, tho. I have a bunch of painting to do today that I will get to. I finished a new Book of Shadows binder for my "working book". I'm making a blessing box for my elfy package. I've been finishing up my lingering house cleaning, and beading. I worry incessantly about my tribe pouch. I play with my cats.
On the downside...I find that if I attempt to shrug the call of the sleeping Earth to sleep with her 12 hours a day, I don't sleep much at all. So either I'm always asleep, or can't sleep and am utterly manic. It's a bad cycle to be caught in.
Speaking of cleaning house, I have stock jewelry sitting around that I'm planning to sell on E-Pagan (should it ever decide to load). There are some pretty good deals kicking around, including some elemental pentacles, a nice crystal necklace a deer pendant, and a paired set of spiral necklaces. I'll post a link when they're up. And FurBid has one of my auctions up right now - just search for Morgandria.
Urg. Whee! Watch Morgy babble. I'll go shut up now, and do stuff.
