Today, I officially turned 21. Which means I can now have the mead during ritual, and buy wine or mead for my own personal rituals, if I choose to use it. This, of course, makes the men in The Pantheon rather ecstatic. Mabon can be quite the alcoholic (he says "I just love mead!"), Loki comes from a pantheon where everyone drinks basically all the time when they aren't smashing giant skulls, and Ai says he enjoys a good ale as much as anyone. I, on the other hand, am not exactly one for alcohol. Most of the time, I can't stand the taste of it (with the exception of hard cider, surprisingly), and I hate the idea of not being in control of myself. Especially as I try to incorporate more magickal and spiritual work into my mundane life. No point in getting my head all mixed up and then attempting to do something important.
Anyway, enough about that. I also went up to the mountains with my family today, visited some of our old haunts, which was fun. It's always nice to get up into the fresh air and away from the city for a little while. I was terribly tempted to buy a pendulum at a semi-metaphysical shop, but I successfully held myself back. I have one in the mail, after all.
Overall, I'd say this was a rather successful weekend! Thank whatever gods are in charge of wonderful weekends!
