Balance

Hey there! Sorry about not posting yesterday; it was a long day. Got to take the feral cat to the vet for his yearly checkup and vaccines and went to a masquerade last night. All sorts of fun and nothing terribly Witchy. Today hasn't been much better, since I've been recuperating from being out all night. But, you know what, that's okay.

One of my friends did an oracle card reading for me the other day that suggested I've been getting myself too involved far too much in my magickal/spiritual life and neglecting aspects of my mundane life. Which is the exact opposite of what I've been doing for the last few years. So the fact that I've taken the last two days to live more in the mundane world (with the exception of my morning and evening grounding and meditations) is probably a good thing. This balance stuff is harder than it sounds. It's one thing to say that I want to live with my magickal/spiritual and mundane lives intertwined and in balance, and it's another entirely to find a way to do that effectively. Especially while living in a household where it seems to be one or the other, more often the mundane. If I walked around with my pentacle and black tourmaline out all the time and muttered spells or blessings over my food at every meal, I'm pretty sure my family would consider my certifiably insane. Or at least get nice and awkward. Both of which I'd rather avoid.

Perhaps it'll be easier to find a balance and a method to twine my two lives together when I get a place of my own. Perhaps now. Only time will tell. But, in the meantime, I can do my best to try to achieve the balance with all the tools at my disposal.
