My Chaotic Realm

This is Kim Duckett, who opened the June 2007 Saturday conference @ the Feminist Hullabaloo with a beautiful ritual which included powerful drumming and dancing in a ceremony which included a dancer metaphorically releasing women’s oppressions, batterings, and abuses into a cauldron to be burned away. She spoke of these times in which we are living as times of “quickening,” urging us to recognize the way, as women, we are connected by our experiences, by our love and passion for each other, and feminism. Describing her own feminism as her spirituality, she said that the Feminist Hullaballoo was a gathering of transformation, but that we are the transformation. “I am a radical feminist. I am a radical Lesbian Feminist. I blossomed as a lesbian feminist in the 1970s. And I remain and continue and will die a lesbian feminist.

This morning's song.... and since I have tossed Spirit out the door already, showered, scooped litters and made breakfast, figured I might as well post it whilst I still recall it. Spent last night busybusybusy, as usual. Took neighbor to their 1st ever a WW meeting. Think it will work well. It did for me, I know.... there is a lot to be said for community & support. Got home around 7:30pm to dinner wiating and then schoolwork. My Cycle 1 in WTI is soon to be over and I am not near ready as I have yet to finish all the required curriculum, much less the documentation of said curriculum! So we sat down last night and assessed out individual coursework... what I've done, what is left, and what I have done but cannot yet PROVE since a scrap of paper or a post it w/reminders to myself do not actually COUNT as documentation of said activity! Sigh.... Another gorgeous day scheduled for Central Texas... high 70's, low 60's. Got a postcard from a soul at sendsomething....

Well, what a WONDERFUL start to a year!!!! Kim & Barb were here to kickoff this year's Wheel... Year II, no less. SO much to remember, to recall, to journal about.... to take out into the world and SHARE....

According to the famous occultist Aleister Crowley, magick is "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will." In fact, Crowley says that "every intentional act is a Magickal Act." If you follow his line of reasoning, there is a great deal of validity in what he says, although it is not what we are seeking at this time. We need to make the definition of magick a bit longer: Magick is the science and art of causing change (in consciousness) to occur in conformity with will, using means not currently understood by traditional Western science. Now, bearing that in mind, please take a moment to click on the link above (the title of the post) and find out what is so important about TODAY.... Happy New Year!

Truth Lyrics Artist(Band): Seether If I gave you the truth Would it keep you alive Though Im closer to wrong I'm no further from right And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me, yeah No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give Deprived of my conscience This all belongs to me, yeah I'm beaten down again, I belong to them Beaten down again, I've failed you I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them Beaten down again, I've failed you The deception you show is your own parasite Just a word of advice you can heed if you like And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me Convinced on the inside you're so much more than me, yeah I'm beaten down
