My Family

I was sitting outside in the early hours of the morning looking at the bootiful moon, thinking about my two families. The one I was born into and the one I have now, that have accepted me as a daughter and sister.

The one I was born into is so different to the one I have now. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom and dad dearly and they are very special to me, but they are exhausting!!!! I have had the longest weekend of my entire life, and I have missed my new family so much there are so many things that we talk about so naturally and I cant talk to my mother about it as she does not believe in the ways of the old religion and in the duality of God and Goddess.

I was working in the garden on Sunday, re-potting plants and planting more herbs, my mother said I am planting at the wrong time its not summer yet and bla bla bla bla, I said it is the right time its full moon and the Goddess is smiling and the time is ripe for planting as the Moon has reached her... My mom almost fell over backwards, I forgot for a moment that she doesn't see things my way, she never said anything only looked at me with such heartache in her eyes. I don't want to hurt my mother but for the first time in my life I have a sense of belonging and I know where I'm headed and I have a purpose and that purpose is to serve, I am Hestia!!!!

The pleasure, and the pain

Most of us have experienced such painful moments,Hestia. Most of us have lost friends and relatives due to our choices....but they are OUR choices. We also have the pleasure, Listen to the Gods, and the winds, most of all to your Own True Self, and enjoy your Path, Sister.

Peace and good harvest to you!

Hi

Finding one's place in the world is about: Belonging, Becoming and Being. It is a private, and at times lonely, journey along which we travel guided by our inner voice, our Divine echo.

May your journey be interesting, and be filled with understanding.

Erebos and Morgause are indeed correct, and kind too...

Your path is your own, for you to walk, and those who believe themselves hurt by your choices are, in fact, the ones who hurt themselves - invariably in an attempt to force you to do what *they* wish, often at the cost of your happiness and contentment. They, in fact, lack respect for you, your choices, and your right to happiness.

To make your lifestyle choices tenable and enduring, remember only the scene in Hamlet where Polonius tells his son, Laertes,
"This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
— Hamlet, Act I, sc. iii
