Well, I kinda sorta "celebrate" that one every week when I grind wheat and make bread. I don't HARVEST the wheat, but I grind it and make wonderful, fluffy, soft bread out of it every week or so. Making soft, fluffy bread out of 100% coarse ground whole wheat is an art, let me tell you. So every time I make it, it's like a celebration.
Now, WHY does that not surprise me? [emoji38] (Nice to see you here, though, Cody!)
I guess I never was formal enough to have a patron god or goddess. I'm too self-reliant, I guess. I used to think my patron was Cernunnos, but then I realized, I create my own reality, there IS no Cernunnos, it's just more dogma... (I hope I'm not offending anyone here!) My own belief is that "god" is the totality of consciousness of all the living creatures in the universe. Like "the Force." And when we (or any consciousness) dies, we go back to the source, and it's a joyous thing. We come here to learn and experience things in the physical, even though in spirit we "know everything" already, because we're all tiny pieces of The God Consciousness. Go ahead. Laugh. I don't mind.
But that's how I think it is, and I believe magic is real, but not like in books and TV. It's a person's Field of Intentions, and properly focused, you can make things happen. Well, you make things happen every minute of your life, but I mean doing it with INTENT, and guiding the outcome yourself, as opposed to just reacting to things that happen "randomly."
And I also don't mean something will just "pop into existence," either, but the thing you were wanting will become available and it will be easy to obtain. It might appear as a gift from someone, or you might find it on sale, but it will become easily available, by whatever means. As one example (and I have a long list of them!) we needed a Bobcat to move snow with many years ago, so I set to work imagining that Bobcat sitting in the
shop, or being driven around by Rich, moving the snow and making paths. Then one day one of the neighbors called and said, "Weren't you guys looking for a skidsteer?" LOL! He told us a friend of his worked at the tractor dealer in Rapid and had just gotten in a nice used Bobcat and it wasn't very much money because it was pretty old, so Rich went down there, looked at it, and bought it. It was less than half the price of the other ones he'd been looking at before. I consider that "a working." And there have been many in my life. More when I'm thinking about it.
That was probably too much information, but what the heck. Like I said, I don't mind if you laugh.
I'm used to it.
