Why have we, as a society, developed such a rabid fear of facing the consequences of our actions? Not all individuals are like that, of course, but far too many are! Every day I hear people at work (customer or coworkers) who claim that they should not have to face the consequences brought about by what they have chosen to do.
Isn’t that something we learned as children?
I think I am sliding into what promises/threatens to be a very deep depression. I can feel it coming and I really don’t know if I have the energy to fight against it.
As I sit here in my office, I can hear a few of my coworkers whining and bemoaning the fact that Obama won the election. They are actually stating that the United States is going to be destroyed now that we have a Democrat as president. They seem to forget that only one president ago, we had a Democrat in the White House.
And, of course, there are some who are terrified of the fact that the new president-elect has more pigment in his skin than they do.
Last night the grove had our Samhain observance. The ritual went very, very well and we had twelve people attending. Not a large group really, but not a bad number. Four of the people there were new, and I think they’ll be back; they seemed to enjoy the ritual quite a bit.
As if I’m not doing enough, how exactly did I let myself fall into a project of working on a grimoire-style collection of Druidic magics?
