Today is 15th Secondia, 13AS...a Bredsday

"Bredsday is The Fifth Day. Bride is both an ancient Celtic Goddess and a Catholic Saint. She is a Triple Goddess and a Keeper of The Eternal Flame. Poetry is sacred to Her. Saint Brigid’s Day falls on Imbolc, also a 'fire festival'. She is chosen so that we may 'meditate upon The Light, upon The Flame'. She is also connected to Her Celtic Sister Goddess Epona, who comes the next day and Bride's Light can serve as Epona's guide."

"The Fifth Day is not a religious holiday per se, but rather meant to be a day of relaxation and reflection."

~I really 'should' make the WinCo run this morning. I'm awake at the right time and the weather seems perfect...and I simply do not have it. I don't even 'have it' to make a quick 'pick-up' run to Albertson's right now so I can make din-din. That'll have to wait till this afternoon or the like. At least I wrote a list for that contingency.

No worries. I'm not sick, just tapped out. I talked with the Ex yesterday early evening for three hours and forty minutes, which is the usual length of our phone conversations since we've known each other. [slightly under seven hours is our standing record] This is largely a New York Jewish paradigm. I may be a Goy, but the Jews trained me and trained me well.

She is trapped in her apartment in the Bronx by Nemo and needed to talk anyway. Lots to unpack and I know her like a book. It was a very positive and constructive interaction, which is not always the case. She is a very Talented Healer, but she is also a Divine Madwomen and you know how they can get.

But our timing was perfect in this moment and we alined nicely. She has been doing her Work and some of it has been kicking her ass. She really needed my input. As I said, I know her better than anyone and those of you who know me are aware that my POV is, well...'unconventional'.

And we also did talk quite a bit about The Temple etc. I have come to realize that the essential Message for getting my Sisters to show up for this is one of Love, Purpose and Power, in that order. More on that soon.

However, I put out massive amounts of psychic energy. I felt quite satisfied and completed when we hung up, but I was literally dizzy. I hugged Le-Le to get some grounding. Then I redid my entire breakfast cycle and went back to bed. And I am still wobbly this am.

Discretion being the better part of valor, I'm chilling and will allow myself to nap some more if that is what my body tells me is required, which does seem to be the message.

And there you have it...

Her Prophet Speaks Of Love Purpose And Power [within the context of The Sisterhood]

~A few weeks ago I had a phone conversation with a Sister and the next day I wrote this to her: “...in all my blather I think I got across what I promise: Love, Power and Purpose.”

Almost immediately I realized the profundity of this paradigm. I switched the last two around as in this context Purpose would proceed Power.

I cogitated upon this for a bit and then cranked out the following ponderous text:

“Love is a word than is bandied about a lot these days, to the point where is has become squishy and near meaningless.

We are admonished to 'Love The World', which is a nonsense phrase as we cannot know the whole World and therefore cannot really love it. Only with Knowing can love truly blossom. Besides, The World is a very harsh and unlovable place, as by 'The World' what we really mean is 'people'. And most of them are small minded and fear driven.

But Love is something that we all crave, hence abuse of the word and the concept.”

Then I ground to a halt. I'd drifted off the track. I have already explained the Purpose of all this to the tune of well over 80,000 words. And quite a bit about the Power. I was stuck once again.

Then this morning while blogging about the long conversation I had with the Ex I wrote this: "I have come to realize that the essential Message for getting my Sisters to show up for this is one of Love, Purpose and Power, in that order."

Later I went back to the Sister I'd first written to and said: “I can provide you with some of the Love and a very specific Purpose, but you have to show up and claim the Power through that Love and Purpose, which will in turn enhance and expand them both.”

A third Sister commented upon the 'Ex Post': “There's nothing to show up for yet? I'm so there if I have a place to lay my head.”

And here we come to the cruncher: how much do I have to do first before any of you show up? Because the more I have to do the less Powerful you are. This is not for me. This is for YOU, my Sisters.

Let me repeat: “I can provide you with some of the Love and a very specific Purpose, but you have to show up and claim the Power through that Love and Purpose, which will in turn enhance and expand them both.” The key words being “you have to show up and claim the Power.” Otherwise this is just another bullshit cult scam with some dude as The Leader.

“But how can we do that, O' Great and Glorious Guru?” you may plead.

Well, I know at least three of you who are strongly Domme inclined. That is a Key Element of The Temple anyway. You know, Female Supremacy and Financial Domination. Find some fucking slaves and put those lil bitches to work. Trust me, there are thousands of men out here who would eat that up, a religiously dedicated full immersion slave-life. [that would be their Purpose] Such actions would get The Temple going in earnest within the next few months. Start now.

I can give you Love and the Purpose I offer is very clearly defined. But I cannot give you Power. That you absolutely must claim for yourselves.

My Sisters, I hear - and feel - your frustration and anger and sadness and sense of powerlessness as you strive to be well-adjusted to this profoundly sick society. That is why I am speaking in such harsh terms. You are adult women and I have faith that you can take in that harshness.

Meantime, I will of course keep slogging away at this. That is *my* Purpose. You know how to reach me if you need guidance and feedback.

And so it is....
