Beggers Night
Posted Nov 1, 2000
So, it's beggers night. My daughter is just over two and a half and finaly old enough to enjoy it.
For a month now she has been telling me she wants to be Darth Maul and I was all ready to get her a Darth Maul costume when my grandmother came out of nowhere with this hand made Lamb costume for her. So we were going to compromise and do the Darth Maul makeup with the lamb costume and call her "Darth Lamb" but the fact is that it just didn't work out to get the make up worked together so she was just a lamb.
The funny thing is that my grandma made the ears a little on the long side so everyone thought she was a bunny, which was just fine with her, every time someone pointed at her and said she was a bunny she would giggle and hop.
I don't know why I was so worried about compromising on the Darth Maul thing, it turns out she was just as happy this way, as a matter of fact, some kid with a Darth Maul mask on earlyer tonight scared her, I'd hate to see what a mirror would of done.

Ethics of Spell Casting
Posted Oct 16, 2000
There are plenty who believe you can not influance the universe or affect the infinant IS. There are those who believe you can not impose your will on others by thought and ritual alone. I am not one of those.
But, I do believe that all of the energy you place in the universe is returned on you, so to take someone's free will by causing them to do something with a spell is not ethical or moral in my mind. Generaly those who practice Magick have rules that govern them "An it harm none do what thou wilt" is one of them... but there was a man named Alexander Crowley who favored himself "The beast of revolations" and he rewrote the law to his own liking to say "An it harm none, be it the whole of the law."
So, here I am, with a very tight belief in Karma and my friend comes to me and says she is going to cast a spell against her ex for "Justice"... Now I know this friend wants my support, she wants me to root her on, but I just can't do it. Think about it this way, even if it's not even possible for her to cast the spell, would it be right of me to encourage vindictive behavior in someone? No, that would be bad Karma for me.
But now, since I wouldn't tell her how much I agree with her that she should do this thing, she is mad at me and wont talk to me. She won't grasp that he will get his in time and she will get hers and I just can't condone vigilantism.
Strike one friend for the glory of ethics.

Alone with a Slow song
Posted Oct 15, 2000
I saw a band called "Power of Ten" last night, they are a 10 peice band with alot of blues and Jazz influance. It was very powerful music, and when they played the slow songs that would cause couples to wrap thier arms around each other and dance slow I realized how alone I was. The music reached into my soul and pulled at my heart, I wanted to be part of it, I wanted to feel it throughout me, and I wanted to share it with someone else. Dana and Heather were dancing, Scott and Betsy were dancing. I was alone with my drink, an outsider ever watching.
I know that it was my own choices in life that brought me to where I am but sometimes it is hard to swallow those choices.
