Alrighty the omen for today is druid dhubh/blackbird - enchantment, the inner call, the gateway- drawn reversed. this is a reminder that the blackbird is the smith's bird and he may be calling for some work in the forge of the heart to create a life of passion and purpose. Balance is needed in all things and one can not just stand in the doorway between two places with out truly working in either, it would be a denial of one's power and responsibility.
Today seems to be busy with birds as they are all taking turns on the back fence calling their territory. LOL!

Blah!
Ok so the best laid plans of mice and men can get thrown completely to the wind when the a/c goes out. Factor in three young kids and two of them are heat sensitive and even omen taking goes flying right out the window. I'm hoping to get some DP writing in tomorrow durring my seven and a half hours home *completely* alone. What am I going to do with all of that time in an empty house? ;)
I"m going to start the daily omen back up tomorrow morning. And tomorrow I owe some offerings to those that were keeping an eye on us during the no a/c fiasco since a couple of kids could have gotten seriously sick. The older of the two is bouncing back pretty well and the littler one is going to take another full day or so to make a full recovery. But, it was very nice that as it would get unbearable that a storm would either rumble over us or close enough that we would get enough overhang from it to give us a break. Then the spontaneous appearance of the repair guy with the new a/c unit two days earlier then predicted. :)
I'm poor right now so hopefully the gods, spirits and ancestors won't frown on cheap (read boones) liqueur. LOL!

Happy summer solstice all!
Yay, it's the solstice! Despite tight funds and sick kids I think it's going to be a good day.
Omen for today is Cat (yup said basically the same way in both Irish and English LOL!) - Guardianship, detachment, sensuality - The cat can sit and watch goings on until it is ready to act. It has the ability to see through to the truth in it's patient ability to watch and wait. The cat also can unite an awareness of the spirit world with sensuality, that are both facets of one continuum of awareness and sensitivity.
Nature -
Yesterday was a buggy day it seems. Between the continued appearance of the pretty little painted lady butterfly, to the reappearance of the damselfly/dragonfly who likes to make or yard part of it's regular flight path and ending with the tiny cricket that some how got into the cup cupboard. I still, for the life of me, can not figure out how such a teeny tiny cricket got so high up when hr couldn't even jump high enough to get out of the small glass I put him in to take him outside. He now has a place in my container garden on the patio. :)
As it is the Solstice I am planning on adapting this ritual for use today. We'll see how it goes. I'm still trying to figure out what to make for a feast since half of us are sick. I'd like to make come cornbread but I don't have any milk. I need to figure that issue out. :o

Spirit
OK the omen for today is Druid Dhubh/Blackbird - Enchantment, the gateway, the inner call.
The blackbird call from the gateway between the worlds. It is a call to explore our spiritual needs.
I'm thinking that it's my warning that if I don't get a move on with some of my studies that the cosmic 2x4 will be headed my way. LOL! ;)
We'll see what else happens today. :)

Starting anew....
I am starting this blog to track and follow my travels through my druidic studies and maybe gain some insight from others as I go. Food for thought is always a good thing.
I am also going to keep my nature journaling here as well as daily omen taking, and various other things that I need to keep track of. :)
So the omen for today (all omens taken from my druid animal oracle deck unless otherwise noted) is Nathair/Adder - transformation, healing, life energy. Drawn reversed is a reminder to not hurt but to focus on the ability to heal.
A neat little blurb from it is "I am serpent, I am love; I have been the adder of the mountain; I have been the serpent of the river" -Taliesin.
Nature - a lovely painted lady butterfly kept circling me while I was out with the dog. A very beautiful butterfly if I might just say. :)
