Last Saturday was so awesome! I went with some friends to the Atlanta Pagan Marketplace and it was just so much fun. There were so many people there! I was able to get myself a pentacle for my altar, a wand made of Willow, and a really neat Celtic style journal that I'll be keeping my nature observations in. I also got a henna tattoo of the sun and colored a bookmark that had a symbol of the Goddess holding a sun.
The wand is pretty plain. Basically right now it's just a stick but that's how I wanted it. I want to make it beautiful and make it my own. I'm thinking about going to Michael's this weekend or to the Hobby Lobby in my hometown and finding leather to wrap around the handle. I have a necklace that broke that had leather in it and these silver beads that I want to put on the wand. I also want a feather to put on it. Maybe the swan down at swan lake will drop a few? I'll probably also be wrapping copper wire around it in neat designs and put a crystal at the top. I think it will look fantastic and totally be my own.
I've also been thinking about making myself a robe and a cloak. I have these ideas floating around in my head right now about it and I can't wait to make it happen. I'll have to sew everything by hand so it'll probably take me awhile. I also need to make myself a Cingulum. There's just a lot of things that I want to do right now. I just need to round up all the supplies first and herbs and things to consecrate them with.
The other day I was out catching rainwater in the storm. I'm sure it'll be useful with cleansing and spells that I wish to perform. I feel like I'm finally happy and I know what I want to do with my life. Things do really come to those who wait and I believe I've been waiting for awhile.
I can't wait to start writing in my new journal and get my new items consecrated. The Full Moon is soon so that will be a good time to do these things. I'll probably do it tomorrow though because I work really late on Wednesdays and I don't want to be too tired to perform the rituals.
Yes ma'am, things are looking up!
