Man, it's quiet around here. :(
Someone post something... anything... I'll take pictures of your pets at this point. lol

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Why would you want to see our pets?
I'm not actually a Pagan but I do on occasion talk to Pagans. The funny thing is one of my Bible Quizzing Leaders was Pagan. She was really cool and gave you chocolate if you got the question right.

Gah, this place was so dead for what . . .a week? Tai-chan we scare everybody away, and are you that bored? lol.

I am coming this (") close to throttling my uncle, pity i can't. Gym is a gods-send right now.

[Taiania]

I'm just bored and pets are cute lol XD

Tell me about it Gallows, I kept checking in and I thought "I'm just talking to myself... Noooooooo!"

[Gallowsraven]

same here, it was like . . . woooooo! Ghost-thread town! Samhaine's (halloween's) not for another month and 27/28 days!

Btw what're people doing for that? any ideas? Cuz i really wanna do something this year but ain't got the cash or the space for a witchy party.

[Lunaryon]

I haven't reeally thought of anything yet. I'll do something, I just don't know what.

[Taiania]

Lol, me neither. Though usually we go down to my nan's house, as she has a huuuuge garden and have a little bonfire, make a few 'wishes' (that's what my nan thinks anyway) and feast. It's a good time. That or we go to Blists hill victorian town (google it, it's awesome) and dress up. They always do the best stuff at Samhain.
If all else fails, me and Jenjen will drink to those passed and our ancestors.

I love this time of year. I can already feel so much energy in the air and without the heat sapping my energy I get in a much better mood.

[Gallowsraven]

Whereas i've joined a gym to try and raise my continually flagging energy levels. But i know what you mean, it's like it's just building and building in the air, lovely tension ;)

I tend to just set up an alter with photos and such like, not much else i can do. I'd love to go on a ghost hunt/walk though. *sighs dreamily* I always try to make the Jack 'O' Lantern though, way too much fun not to and my room always ends up smelling like roast pumpkin for weeks. smells lush. But i'm not sure if i can even do that this year; family staying with us and when it comes to my practices and beliefs my uncle is a real . . . you know what, put your own nasty word in there because i can't think of one right now.

Though hopefully he'll be moving out soon ^.^

Oh, and i'm thinking of doing a home-learning course. Creative writing and proffessional Proof-reading. Ok, so technically that's two, but i figure the jobcentre can't complain about wasting time and money if i go for the second one too. They get funny like that. They'll be funny enough because i want to do this.

[Lunaryon]

Ohhh... I think I remember hearing about a haunted place near where I am. Maybe I can go to that!

[Taiania]

I wish I knew somewhere around here to have a ghost hunt. I've got all the kit that's needed and I've got a friend with a semi professional camera so we could film it. Maybe next year.

Bah, people like that can go shove it. If I want nice smelling things I have nice smelling things. Noone stops me :D Plus it's a great excuse to make pumpkin pie. Noone can argue with pie.

Do it. It's great to have on a CV, and fun too so I say go for it ^_^

Ooooooh do it Luna. Take lots of pictures too ^_^

If all else fails we can have an online get together :)

[Lunaryon]

I have to agree about the pie.
I hope to actually see a ghost, this is going to be the first time to actually go somewhere haunted...
Oh! I also got a torrot deck recently! And so far it's been accurate... As far as I can read.

[Gallowsraven]

The tarot's fun, usually. I did readings in a shop for a few months. It's an intuition tool, you get better with use, as with everything. And they can be scarily accurate i know.

I think i gave that story on here a few pages back . . . *ponders* yeah i'm sure i did, hidden behind a Spoiler-button.

Which deck have you got?

[Lunaryon]

I had a basic deck... Uhh... Don't remember what it was called, but then my brother and cousin got their hands on it and tried to use them. They even used the minor Arcana as playing cards!
After that just touching them felt wrong. They were all out of whack. Now I bought a Vampiric/gothic themed deck.

[Taiania]

I bite people when they touch my cards without permission.

I've seen a few spirits in my time. Most were nasty though. I have bad luck like that. Last big ghost hunt I went on my friend got a stone thrown at him in a sealed room and the thing jumped on him later. Poor lad shrieked. We fended it off but it shook him up a bit. We were in an old torture chamber so that explains a lot.

[Lunaryon]

Forgive me for saying this but.... COOOOOOOOL. I'd love to see a ghost, even a malevolent one. And you were in a torture chamber! That is so Cool!

[Gallowsraven]

Want one of mine? The perv that takes up residence in my bathroom mirror needs a new home ^.^, Unfortunately i doubt the cat will go anywhere, it doesn't seem to like not being around me . . . odd cat.

And you're right, sometimes even if they ask permission the cards don't feel right. They need cleansing after this and it's always best to wrap them in cloth and/or keep them in a box away from prying eyes.

The woman that the shop had asked to do the tarot before i volunteered asked my permission first, but they didn't feel right for several days. I found out later that she hated me because i was doing the tarot instead of her, even though she'd been given first refusal. Guess she somehow tainted them.

They also feel wrong if you don't look after them. I've now got two of the original Mythic Tarot decks, the second passed to me from a friend, and she couldn't get it to feel right again. It had been majorly disrespected. If a tarot deck could be suicidal, this one was on the train tracks. But all it needed was a little TLC and within a few hours it already felt loads lighter.
