Offerings

Published November 7, 2011 | By Juniper

I have some steak and a dinner roll to give to my spirits. But I am waiting until I finish my drink, or else they will want some of that too.

Requested RePost: How to Not Fit In

Published November 5, 2011 | By Juniper

Wear socks that don’t match

Especially on Tuesday and Friday

And always with shorts

Wear a wrinkled pink blouse

With a bright red skirt

Red and pink are in the same family

Aren’t they?

*

Don’t get subtle hints

Be confused by mixed messages

And laugh at inappropriate jokes

Always say what you mean

And mean what you say

Because no one else does it that way

*

Take everyone at face value

Be open and honest

In everything you do

Having no hidden meaning behind your words

No hidden agenda behind your actions

Is sure to frighten and confuse

*

Be loud and boisterous in public

Quiet and reserved at home

Have moods that are affected by the weather

Remember to be daring and bold

Always act as if you’ll never grow old

*

Wave with both hands

Bounce into rooms

Offer everyone a hug

And feel bad when they refuse

Dance when you are happy

And wilt when you are sad

*

When there is a job to do

Be the first to volunteer

Once people start to gossip

That you’re trying to take charge

Don’t volunteer the next time

And they will complain about that too

*… Continue reading →

Let Go and Slip Away

Published November 2, 2011 | By Juniper

I let my mind wander

I allow it to drift

I don’t understand why people expect it to be rigid

Focused, perfect, single minded

Why do they seek trance in text book rigidity?

It’s not about staying in the box

I let my mind go out of bounds

Beyond the boundaries of what is allowed

In the daytime in the sunshine in the work-a-day world

We have to be so polite

So nice and sweet

Structured and organized

I am not disciplined as I sit before Them

Chatting and rambling on about nothing

They listen indulgently

Like grandparents letting a small child prattle on

I let my mind wander

Out of bounds

Beyond reason

What focus?

There is no focus

I drift on a sea of thoughts

Unbidden and unfettered

Thoughts come and go as they please

I drift here and there

I open up

I become expansive

Too big to fill my little shell

I slip and slide away and down

Out of bounds

Beyond the boundary

I slide away from the body sitting before the altar

And we go wandering in a twisted landscape

Some might fear if they realised this is what is to be found

But… Continue reading →

Unpacking

Published October 25, 2011 | By Juniper

Well, I am still unpacking.

 

I know, I know how could I possibly be still unpacking? I can hear all you awesome super Mom types who are organized and who know (and actually care about) the difference between a pillow case and a pillow sham reacting in horror. Well, I’m not you and why are you reading my blog? Go away perfect people!

 

Continuing on…

 

This move has been surprisingly epic considering that all I did was relocate to a different neighbourhood. I mean, I’ve moved to different Provinces, to the USA and back, I’ve moved from the city to the woods and back, I’ve moved from a house to an RV and back.

 

About 2 years ago I moved from a ramshackle trailer in the woods with a woodstove for heat and a well for water in the BC mountains to a “McMansion” in Ottawa’s suburbs (that was one difficult transition, I think I had more anxiety attacks in 6 weeks than I had in the year before then).

 

I’ve done some pretty drastic moves. This move was not supposed to be dramatic in the slightest. Pack up, load up, drive 15 minutes down… Continue reading →

My Beloved Fellow Pagans & Witches

Published October 5, 2011 | By Juniper

Hi guys, its Juniper.

 

Look guys, I have some serious shit going on in my life right now.

 

Bren left me in the soul crushing, self esteem destroying way. He tried to be a nice guy about it, because he’s a good man. But it doesn’t change the whole broken heart thing.

 

I had a grandparent die recently.

 

The place Bren and I were living in before he left is too much $$$ for me to manage on my own. Not if I want any money for savings etc. I have been working harder and longer and trying to pick up odd jobs to cover everything.

 

I had no bed to sleep on. I’ve had to accept charity from friends, which is hard. I finally was able to pick up a bed second hand.

 

I have had to find a room mate, find a new place and now I am packing and moving. I have two whole weeks to pack and move.

 

I have had some of the dearest friends I have ever had move away.

 

I busted someone for plagiarism who is now trying to threaten me into silence to save… Continue reading →
