At work our head of security is moving on with life leaving a vacancy. Some coworkers, either intentionally or not, made sure to bring it to my attention. You see I have 18 years experience in Safety & Security with the appropriate experience for the job opening. There is one proplem however, the motorcycle accident that almost made me an amputee and has crippled me for life also taught me to trust again. You see there are certain fields of work out there that just make you less inclined to trust people. Security and Law Enforcement are just two of them. I would imagine that a certain level of management would also cause a learned responce of not trusting others. Having been in a role that my employees were just as apt to do wonderful things as there were to turn on me like a pack of rabid wolves and reporting to a board that was constantly looking for faults to explot for their personal agendas, I know for a fact that there are certain roles out there that will cause to you not...

If you haven't noticed yet I use this blog as an open source Grimoire. It is fun for me to see how I progress through time, what topics I decide to share, etc. However of late the need and desire for an actual physical Grimoire has come about. At this time the only internet connection I have is a limited data plan on my cellular phone or the local public library. Unless I am willing to use a business' open internet connection meant for their customers and well that requires purchasing items in my mind which requires money, something that is not plentiful at this time. Having noticed the new features that Blogger.com is offering for my blog has helped me in making a decision on how I want to organize my physical Grimoire. As if it is a teaching tool type of book. Each of the following sections will have mini sections under them allowing me to add information to that area at the "end" of the section allowing for hopefully easier to find information. As one never truly s...

Litha Pronounced: Li-tha Astrological Timing: 0* Cancer Calendar Timing: June 22 Sun Zodiac Sign: Cancer Sun Zodiac Sign Element: Water Sun Zodiac Sign Element Quality: Cardinal Moon Phase: Half to Full Also Known As: Midsummer History/Mythology: Here we are at Midsummer, we have arrived at the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The Goddess is now full and pregnant with Child, and the Sun God is at the height of His virility. This is the peak of the Solar year and the Sun is at the height of its life-giving power. The Earth is awash with fertility and fulfillment and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of achievements. [3] Yet within this climax is the whisper and promise of a return to the Dark. As the Light reaches its peak so this is also the moment when the power of the Sun begins to wane. From now on the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer and we are drawn back into the Dark to complete the Wheel of the Year. [3] Nearly...

Lughnasadh Pronounced: ˈluːnəsə, LOO-nə-sə Astrological Timing: 15* Leo Calendar Timing: August 1 Sun Zodiac Sign: Sun Zodiac Sign Element: Sun Zodiac Sign Element Quality: Moon Phase: Full Moon History/Mythology: At Lughnasadh we see the fields of corn being cut, and for some this is the true time of the festival. In the fields John Barleycorn, who laid with the Lady in the woods at Beltane, has grown old, and now stands bent and bearded with a crocked cane. He looks to the Sun as he has changed from green to gold, and he known that his time has come. His life will feed the people, and it is this sacrifice that we honour at Lughnasadh. [1] Also known as Lammas, or First Harvest, the name of this festival as Lughnasadh is Irish Gaelic for “Commemoration of Lugh”. Some authors give the meaning as marriage, gathering or feast (in the name of) of Lugh. The meaning remains basically the same: Lugh is the Deity of Lughnasadh, and there is a feast. [1] Although Lugh gives his name to this fe...
