Oh Goddess, I miss blogging!! I've been away for far too long and it's not because I didn't want to be (or my internet bill didn't get behind), I have been experiencing a HUGE struggle with my faith this past year. I think I can trace it back to about this time last year when I was depressed about not finding work. I just didn't feel like doing Sabbat rituals or workings. Then I found a job, but at the time didn't realize it was a bad choice for a job. I was working at a hair salon on straight commission, I thought if I did that it would force me to find a clientele. After 9 months working there and not making much money, I left and found a new job. But money was short, bills got left by the wayside as I struggled to get myself caught up. Because of this, my faith took a backseat. I tried to go to public rituals, feasts, but my heart wasn't in it, so I stopped going. I shut myself away from my local Pagan groups and from some Pagans who I really didn't want to associate myself with anymore. The stress of money problems, witch wars, etc, I cut myself off and focused on one thing that actually made me smile throughout all this.
When I woke up this morning, I realized that I needed to make a change in my life, my spiritual life. I'm going to practice my faith my way. Not with what books or fellow Pagans say how I should. I do things a little unconventional, not the norm and I don't add New Age things into my practice. I may not blog as much as I used to (let me get out of my funk first) but I do hope you read it when I do. I also posted today about a meditation I had last week on my Rowan's Deities page.
I noticed a couple of days ago, after my last posting that when I was coming onto my blog, I was being directed to another site. This had me worried, my "spidey senses" were telling me that there was something nasty attaching itself to my blog, a tracking cookie/virus. I went into the Help/FAQ and was directed to a problem that has been going on with Blogger as of late. Turns out, my Ostara countdown was the culprit, even though I've been using that countdown for months for other Sabbats. So, it is now off my blog. The problem with this redirecting bug, it was a 3rd party widget and things will attach themselves to them. I deleted the countdown, but we all know Ostara is in 13 days. Sorry, if this was causing you problems, too.
