This time with more luggage than usual. Seriously - so many shoes, and a giant plush snake.
I'm spending the weekend at Portus 2008 in Dallas with a bunch of other nuts.
Should be a grand event.
Lots of excellent food, interesting presenters, and awesome costumes! All Harry Potter, all the time!

So, wish me a safe drive, and I'll see you folks later!

Today I had a little dialog with Death from the Druidcraft Tarot, and was basically told to go boil off my thick outer shell and be like a snake, shedding the old skin and embracing the new. The crone and the snake both wanted me to get back into regular religious practice, too. That was unexpected in some ways, but not in others.
It was a very odd conversation. It made me want a pet snake. (N.B. This is not a request, anyone in the habit of giving gifts of animals.)

The entire session sort of blew me open, in a very good way. It was terribly fun and entrancing. I had wonderful insights and saw cards in totally new ways.

This has completely effed up the Major Arcana assignments for my Harry Potter tarot. Again. But in a good way. I think I'm getting a bit better handle on Judgment and Temperance, which were giving me troubles.

This has been a totally amazing weekend so far and tomorrow is just more of the same. I'm really tired, though. Who knew this kind of seminar could take so much out of you?

I am not looking forward to the drive back, though. Good grief, I don't think I have ever met a more boring stretch of highway.

I'm off to Dallas for my Tarot Seminar, and probably a little taste of Saturday Night at FenCon.   Wish me a safe and happy drive, with plenty of Wizarding Rock on the stereo and lots of wildflowers on the roadsides!

Have a good weekend, and happy equinox on Sunday if I don't check in before then. 

Aren't we cute?

The World's Tallest Statue of an American Hero is in Huntsville, TX, keeping watch over Interstate 45. Mom and I stopped to visit on our way to Dallas.
See more of our trip to see Cheryl and Sami!
