Was AWSOMETASTIC... i loved every minuite of it  ... and so wanna go and see if again... *skips around*..

wheee.... 


yay for all the people that came with *skips around more*...

was released today.. wheeee.. *skips around*..

so can i get confirmations for those who want to come along say satruday at 6pm then i can go and purchase/book tickets and get money from you on satruday (18th july). that is if i can get seats.. *nods*... if not we can try for the following weekend yes? 

*twirls around*

it would seem that a newish trend is starting to become popular within Pagan Podcasting, not to mention other places around the web, and that is Pagan Bashing by other Pagans.

i find it odd, because within the heart of paganism is that whole 'diversity is good thing', thing, however it would seem that it has become diversity is a good thing just so long as you all believe the same things i do. *frowns*.. gosh..

this could be a signal of a paradox which is a further signal of a change within the Pagan Community and before such a change there needs to be a paradox like that above to shake the tree from its dead leaves and detritus... *ponders this*

or it could be that this Pagans Bashing Pagans is something that has become more noticeable because every pagan with a computer and penchant for hearing their own voice is now making pagan podcasts,

hmmm... finding good food for thought pagan podcast are quite difficult to find, and i suspect that different ones will appeal to different pagans.. ...

mmm.. diversity...


*ponders for the day*

I taught my first ‘official’ class on witchcraft and magic last night on Centring and Grounding, there will be 12 more classes.  8 people arrived some quite early but most on time, and they were an interesting group.  They enjoyed what i was saying and all took part in the exercise.  I have a strong feeling that i will be learning just as much as the people i am teaching, which is how it should be...

There is a certain amount of responsibility i feel as i am teaching.  Do they understand what i am teaching them, do they know that they do not have to do it the way i have explained, are they getting what i am not saying.  These questions generally come up in my mind before and after classes.  During classes i am in a completely different head space, it is perhaps like channelling, or being in an trance of some description, because it feels natural and what i am going to say next or how i am going to explain and engage these people who have come to me to learn just seems to flow as opposed to not flow.. there is a strong engaging with spirit with that calling i have had for a very long time. 

I quite enjoyed how the class weaved around in and out of topic, as witchcraft and magic is not a linear thing really, because it is a way of life it is more spiral or cyclitic .. *waves hand in an expressive way* 

Yes last night was excellent.. and i am quite looking forward to next lesson in a fortnight. 

*twirls around*

it has come to my attention.... actually it might of had my attention for quite some time, but i digress, it has come to my attention that the next Harry Potter Movie is coming out.. *SQUEEEEEE*...

it comes out on the 15th of July, so we could go and see it that weekend, on say the satruday early evening, around 6pmsih?


So you lot, who wants to come with ??

Do you remember the cool kids, i do and some i was the butt of teasing from said cool kids, but for the most part they left me alone.  I went to a smallish high school a boarding school in Stratford, Taranaki New Zealand  with around 120 students, thus the whole cool kids and not cool kids i thing didn’t really hold much stock, but we did have a few. 

 

( under here is stuff )

Well golly that was a long string of clichés *laughssnortslaughs*

 

 

 

so after a long winded reply to a post made by tatjna and the reply she made, i figure it should be time to announce that it july should be the international blogging month of "sexual deviancy and how its not really deviant after all" this is in order to rebalance the subversive power that sex has within our society today. by power i mean the reasoning that we keep sex behind bedroom doors and as a general rule do not discuss it and if there is a discussion about it people shy away from it or decided that the person who is discussing such things must be completely deviant cause they are publicly discussing sex.. OMG never the mind the poor bloke who pipes up from the back row about spanking and bathtubs full of frogs, while drinking tea naked. all of this is of course in relation to normal and not normal behaviour of our lovely world..

so, with this in mind, i want people to post below about if they want to take part in such blogg posts below, and what kink they would like to see written about, then i can put all the kinks in a hat and draw them our and assign people kinks to write about ...in relation to the subject of "sexual deviancy and how its not really deviant after all"

you will all have a few weeks or so to write something and then post them on your blogs, and if you post the linkage in my journal or email it to me i can make a post at the end of july linking everyone's ...

i figure that you can all use your common sense about these kinks, and weather or not you do a ljcut or lock your posts, etc etc.. cause we are all grown-ups right *grins*..mostly.. *giggles*

if i could have everyone's yay yes i want to participate in this crazy project in relation to the subject of "sexual deviancy and how its not really deviant after all" please sign up below, and post a kink by this time next week

so that would be the 17th for us here in kiwiana and southern hemispheres, and the 16th of june for those following along in the northern hemisphere. and we ill aim to have our blog posts done by the middle/end of july, with the absolute deadline being july the 30th.

right then lets get blogging...

[EDIT]ok so will put the comments now under screened, and if you are happy to have your comment show then i can do that and if not then its still all good mmk... *smiles*

i have new lady boots, they are kinda steampunk witchy boots.. or as i call them lady boots

tadar!





*glee!*

speaking of cold, fric woke me up at midnight to tell me that the fire was no longer warm enough.. well at least that is what i thought she was saying as she meowed through my bedroom door like she was distressed, and as any cat owner, or pet or mother for that matter, we are well tuned to these types of noises, thus i stumbled out of bed and went into the lounge in all my pyjama clad squinting glory, of course i didn't put my glasses on. at first i thought that she might of been shutt outside.. but now there she was standing infront of the fire !!??

thus there may of been growling and stomping back to bed.. thus i am somewhat irrtable today..

stupid cat,

this morning i did find her however in my wardrobe having made a nice warm nest amoungst my cloaks... aww.. cute...

so yeah.. cats are odd..

*sleepy smiles*

the wind is blowing a huge gale, the rain is falling but our wee house is clean, from top to bottom.. yay us..

also i learnt that challenges, and people who challenge are very valuable to have in ones life, as they give you perspective and help with the keeping it real keeping you grounded in this world.

*smiles*

which was how i discoverd that i should probaby have glasses way back when i was a youngster of 13ish. actually i fell down a flight of stairs twice.. teheh.. all with the stylie i am .. *beams*..

however after yesterdays disaster with the medical profession tomorrow i am going to try my hand with the optical profession.. but today i am wiser than yesterday, and oddly enough i have been going to the same optomitrists(sp) for the last.. *takes shoes of to count toes as well* well since 1991ish so that was quite some time ago. i only got about once every 6 years, as my eye are not particularly degrading fast, which is nice, however it is a place that i know and i know that the people are nice, and well they have my record, and always mention the burn marks on the focal points in my retinas(sp?) casue of staring at the sun as a child.. *oops*..anyhoo..

also by going to my optomistrists, it will be cheeper mildly and familar.. and i will get to see what shiny new manhines they have gotten in the past 6 years or so.. yay..

so soon i will once again be able to make out the individual leaves on the trees and sunglasses(transition lenses) of a sorts.. whoot

*is excited*

Dear world wide media

Please stop whipping up a frenzy over the latest "pandemic" becasue really it is not one, it is the flu, and oddly enough not that different from all the other flu virus our there. you are causing havoc where havoc is not needed and all in the name of selling more newspapers, you are not reporting facts. instead you are twisting them in order to create wide spread panic, not that this is something new.

can we be realistic now? Every year the flu kills people, and every year people survive the flu. the survival rate is way better than it was a few hundred years ago, so the chances are that most people who catch it will feel like complete shite for a few weeks and then get better. chances are that this latests OMG flu vius will not be any more or less of a threat than the last one. Chances are that the media is really only blowing this up so that they get more hits on their websites and sell more newspapers, chances are that the majoirity of the population will be fine and not even get the flu but instead get a cold but still call it the flu.. ack...

chances are that if the media keep calling wolf on things like this if the world does ever end up with an epidemic of huge proportions nobody will be paying any attention..

i think really what is going on here is a pandemic of the stupid...

do be do..

also Happy Beltane for the northern hemisphere people and Happy Samhane for the southern ones.

it would appear that i have left my cellphone up the line, thus it might be a few days, or maybe even a week befor i can get it back.. ack.. so if you need to contact me you can emails me or leave a message here mmk.. *smiles*

this message was brought to you by the letter H and the powers of the full moon...

*beams*

my green leather coat was returned whoot whoot!!

my village rocks.

*beams*

not that different from books really, in that for the most part you get huge amounts on chatter and not much content. while i figure that there are people out there that are looking for this, i am not one of those people, i would like content please. although i have found a few, which is more than two, and am activly looking for more. i downloaded two yesterday but alay there was the issue of to much chatter and not the content i was looking for, although i must admit if it had been 10 years ago i would of loved it *smiles*.

but i have found some that i do like that have content that i am really enjoying, stuff that makes me ponder with the added bonus of actually trying some of the stuff out.. whee *skips around*.. they are as follows

DruidCast, : this is an excellent podcast, that is a really nice combination of host, Damh the Bard (who has a really hot nice accent) pagan music, and interviews and or talk from various OBOD druids, and others. it make for some interesting food for thought, and is set up so that while the music break is playing you get a chance to digest what was said in the interview or talk.. also it is always fun to here people you have meet talk about stuff. *beams* it can also be found on itunes, is updated once a month, and there are a whole 24 episodes to listen to.. wheee.. and most of them rate a second listening to so that notes can be taken.. *nods*
so this Podcast gets five gold stars on my random rating..

second up is Elemental Castings this is a Feri Podcast of sorts from the Author who wrote Elemental Witchcraft, and excellent book. T. Thorn Coyle had an excellent format similar to that of Druidcast but without the music interlude. there are interviews based on the five elements, air, fire, water, earth and spirit. the interviewees are from all different paths and styles of the pagan community at large. Thorn is particularly good at getting to the good parts and facilitating a really good in depth discussion about what the interviewee practitioner does and how and why they do it. again it can be found on itunes, and i give it another five gold stars.. *skips*

the third one that i have really enjoyed, is The Unnamed Path called so because while it is pagan this is a spirituality that is aimed specifically at men who love men. This Podcast is not interview based but instead it is lecture styles but interesting and insightful lecture styles by someone who is very passionate about their toppic, and that is always better to listen to. it has some fantastic insights into things magical and good insight into personal pathwork as well. i am quite enjoying Hyperion's take on magic and things spiritual. while i do not agree with everything he says it is nice to here a serious, intelligent and sometimes funny, take on what amounts to theology of this channelled path. these podcasts are also going to be good to listen to a second time while taking notes. i finally understand how candle magic might work, is excellent *beams* Hyperion is quite an interesting character and has a varied background rooted in a variety of experience in different types of magical traditions and styles, both good and bad, and he is an excellent charismatic speaker. what it amounts to is that he knows what he is on about because he walks his talk.. always good. this one i give five sparkly Gold Stars.. *whee*

so yeah.. still looking for other podcasts that are of similar ilk, because i listen to these at work mostly and there are 8 hours of listening or so.. so if you know of any can you link me to them. please and thank you...

*beams*

i has twitter ackschually....


and i can be found here http://twitter.com/mistresspolly

ok so onto the linkage.. if you left click on the link you can download them strait to your computer so that you can listen at your lesure.. *nods*

Lecture One the introduction and overview of what i am going on about...and all about the first wave.. Ohh.. *waves*

Lecture Two  the second wave,,, and i think bits of the third wave.. it also has a brief overview of what has already been talked about. 

Lecture Three, the third wave, and the Fourth wave..

Lecture Four, this was meant to be about the Fourth wave but i ended up going over the whole thing again... rinse repeate...teheh

so if you have any questions you can post them in a reply, as well as any comments and or constructive critisim..  *beams*

i so like lectureing cause i don't have to worry about spelling.. *grins*

*dances around*

on my way to and from work now i walk down featherstone street and it would seem that featherstone street is the place to go if you are a woman with curves and like buying new zealand made.  there must be about 5 shops.. 

they all seem to be full of wonderful clothing, that is made in new zealand, well sewen and quite styleish.. of course you know that i love the layered look and they have it in stacks.. yay.. and there are some really really pretty dresses, you know the ones that you can wear with pants underneath.. yay.. so ladies.. save your pennies cause you will be paying for this quality.. however it is in my opion well worth it..

and if you go down that way at say 5ish in the evening then you get to swim with the little fishies who are madly swimming home..*giggles*

do be do..

oh and lastly i will not be a fidels tonight as i am playing with witches.. Oooo.. witches...
