Have decided that it is time to stop burning trees as
1. I can't be bothered splitting any wood and
2. I can't talk the kids into doing it either.
Will try putting 300 solar panels on the roof. Maybe we'll pick up a bit of heat from somewhere up north.
This is a beautiful invocation that I recently found.
A Morning Invocation © 1996 Susan Reed
I greet you, Powers of Air!
Clarify my thoughts; hold me to the Truth;
Awaken the Powers of Air within me that I, with my thoughts, honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Fire!
Energize my work; empower me to meet my challenges;
Awaken the Powers of Fire within me that I, with my deeds, honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Water!
Nourish me with Universal Love; wash away my failings;
Awaken the Powers of Water within me that I, with my feelings, honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Earth!
Stabilize my life; strengthen me with the wisdom of the ages;
Awaken the Powers of Earth within me that I, with my senses, honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Spirit!
Integrate my abilities; consecrate my service;
Awaken the Powers of Spirit within me that I, with my life, honor the Gods.
Susan has put together a brilliant essay titled 'An Introduction to Modern Druid Groups' http://www.nachtanz.org/SReed/mod_druids1.html This is quite a lengthy read but well worth it if you are thinking about signing up with any of the popular druid organisations. She has taken a lot of the leg work out by comparing all the main questions that newcomers tend to have. Well that will do for now. I have a horrible cold at the moment and it's way past my bedtime.

I am currently driving myself crazy over a stupid assignment on Body Language. I just can't motivate myself to do it (it was due last week). I lost heart a few weeks ago when I was advised not to take on full-time study next year. My doctor believes it will compromise my mental health. Buggar my mental health, I was really looking forward to doing this course, which by the way is Conservation and Land Management. She feels that I'll either 1. Suffer from huge guilt complex because I won't have time to devote to my kids. (single mum, 5 kids, 4 at home) or 2. I'll somehow keep up with the parenting duties and either A. Burn out or B. Fail the course.
Aaaaaarghhhhh!!!!!!!! Hmmph.
Ok. I've had my rant; back to working out how to turn the finger into a 1000 word essay.Everyone keeps saying to me that blogging is food for the soul, so I'm going to give it a go. Not sure what to write today. :)
