Today is The Kalends of Octobria 12AS

The Kalends is what we call the 1st of each month. It is always a Eponaday, always a First Day, always a Beginning.

On this day we Invoke Octobria, Goddess of The Eighth Month of The Year, and ask Her to Guide us and Protect us through all of Her Thirty Days. Blessed Be...


"The concept behind making each month a Goddess in Her own right comes from something E says in Part Two “The Temple's Metaphysics”: "By focusing individual or collective Will upon a specific Aspect of The Creatrix, meaning a specifically Named Goddess – such as Astarte, Kali, or, Bride – a Tulpa may be invoked out of The Creatrix, a part of Her that can be understood and related to, and therefor directed."

The idea here being to Invoke each Monthly Goddess at the beginning of of Her Thirty Days, asking for Her Guidance and Protection during Her Time. To facilitate this, we are reintroducing another Roman convention, The Kalends, Latin for 'announcing' or 'calling' and the basis for the word Calendar, as the first day of each month. Upon the arrival of The Kalends we are reminded to make the above Invocation.

These are new Goddesses and as yet Un-Manifested. Therefore, now as I write these words upon this page, I Invoke them and call then into Being.

By reading their Names, you my Sisters, also Invoke them. And as Common Usage becomes Established Tradition, the Nature and Traits of each Goddess shall make themselves apparent and become fully Manifest. Through this process, we shall Serve them and they shall Serve us, which is ever the proper relationship between Humans and their Deities."

Life in The Desert

~It is presently 71° and 5% humidity. The latter is very low for this time of night. 92° was the high yesterday and also the predicted high for today, with low to mid 90's for the next several days. As I said before, I can live with that.

Random

~The heat wave has receded. [it's only 93° at half past one] The house is slowly coming together. And I've been getting plenty of sleep. Therefore it is time to start obsessing about finances. *sigh*

Such as we're gonna be spending roughly half of our monthly income on the house [rent, electricity, water, etc] and the storage space. I really won't know full on until the end of August when we've got some kind of overview.

I'm worried that we'll get back to that 'starving the last week of the month' paradigm we had three years ago when we finally had it with The Note Holder. But, again, I really won't have a decent idea of such until we've had a few months to determine things.

The swamp cooler uses a lot less juice than the AC and we're dealing directly with SoCal Ed here. I'm quite certain the old park padded the electric bill. So there's that probable off-set.

Anyway, I'm driving myself a bit nuts with that and I'd really like to just fucking chill. It's gonna be what it's gonna be and besides, this is a short term issue, as in just a year or so, because once the VA finally gives in on Le-Le 100% Disability, we'll be fine.

Oh yeah, I'm also bugging myself quietly about not springing to The Page even though we've not even been in here a month yet and have like nine months of serious fucking double-barreled aggro still barely fading in the rear view mirror.

And that's the name of that mother fucking tune...
