Freya's Day, September 14th, 2012

Last night was the candle lighting ceremony, "Honoring with candle light the spirits of the dead".

 

My Grrrl lite two. I lite three, one for my grandfather, one for my father, and one for my uncle Danny. It was nice. My grandfathers was the same color as I remember his pajamas being. My fathers was my favorite color, since he always wanted me to do what made me happy, he never told me what to do...Uncle Danny's was white, because I don't have any negative associated with him, he is pure in my eyes. Despite what my mom may try to tell me... Who cares if he smoked pot? If a war, I don't blame him, besides... Glass houses and all...

 

Anyhow, this morning, there were three Hot Air Balloons in the sky, there are usually some, more than today,or less... I always take them as a "hi" from one person or another, or no one in particular.today, I know it was them all saying thank you, or hello...

 

That makes me happy. No other "religion" has made me feel this way...

 

Blessed Be!
