Weather: Cloudy, 40F Time: 11:38PM CST Moon Phase: Waning 90% So I’ve misplaced my Magickal journal for the umpteenth time... Let me see if I can work on a digital one again and see if I can make it last longer.  Have I mentioned how much I HATE journaling? I’m fairly sure I mentioned it once or twice in my hardcopy journal.  So back to my Grey School of Wizarding classes...  Current enrollment: Core Energy Practices 102 D: Cleansing, Shielding, and Meditating Magickal Healing: An Introduction Introduction to Healing Stones vGSW Orientation Introduction to Herbology I just finished “Dragonlore 101: European Dragons” today. That was a really interesting class. I actually got to learn some new dragon lore that I didn’t know prior to now. I wrote a poem about Thor and the World Serpent, I’ll have to post it later.  So I finished several assignments today. I’ve been backlogged on work. Let me just say this, weddings are stressful and expensive as hell.  Wrote two essays for Core 102, by accident mind you. I finished the meditation one, then realized I hadn’t done the shielding so I worked backwards. I thought I was being clever by talking about how my depression was like an inverted shield gone wrong, and how dark thoughts and the lack of motivation was like a sticky, heavy wall that wouldn’t let up. Ambika, love her to pieces, said it was depression and I needed to seek counseling. Yes, I know its depression, I was more trying to ask how would a magickally inclined person would combat these “dark thoughts”.  Meditations, I’ll have to rewrite. She wants more detail as though I’m teaching someone completely new what meditation is like. This doesn’t make sense to me, but whatever. I’ll work with it. I’m trying not to write from a first person perspective and treat these as more... how do I put it... academic studies? Eh, that doesn’t sound right but you get the point. Lacking first person bias.  vGSW: not much to write here. Finished a super short essay about what my SecondLife avatar would be like. Essentually my “Furry” self.  I’m going to head to bed and work on some meditation for a bit. Maybe I’ll have more luck tomorrow after I get home from Therapy?
