Did I ever mention that Aphrodite is one of the handful of clinger-ons to the The Pantheon? Because she's around on occasion, generally fluttering around when me or my friends develop a new crush on someone, and might as well be part of The Pantheon when that happens. Or, when things like the Lover's Moon come around. It certainly is amusing watching a goddess prance around the room like she's drunk, just because it's a night for spells and prayers directed at her and her love god(dess) kin.
I have to admit, I've been pretty lax when it comes to celebrating Esbats. In fact, the only reason I know tonight is the Lover's Moon is from a Wiccan community I'm part of, that's holding an Esbat celebration tonight. It's one of the things I want to get better at, celebrating the moon. You'd think I'd be good at it, what with having a moon goddess as the mother figure of my private pantheon and all. Just goes to show I'm full of surprises.
On the note of things I want/have to do I'm thinking about trying to take some tarot training and go for my tarot certification. Of course, that means running down to the local metaphysical store and picking up another tarot deck that fits the training suggestions better. The deck I have only has basic representations of the numbers and suites for the minor arcana, and the training I'm looking at requires detailed images for both arcanas. I'm pretty sure I'll wind up being one of those people who collects divination tools: I already have two decks of oracle cards, a deck of tarot cards, a set of runes and a pendulum on the way. Ogham is on the list, too. I also need to run out to my garden to gather the herbs for the Litha ritual I'm planning on attending.
Righto. Now I'm off for my nightly meditation!
Blessed be.
