Toadfish Monastery

I don't understand all this fuss about getting laid... all I have to do is to stand somewhere and there's usually a line...

nowadays... well, my current partner can't resist me at all sooooo



oh I am so evil!

Thanks Ops and Sibling... what you said in your posts I have done plenty and that is what makes the situation so weird...
Every day I get emails from colleges that say how sad they are because I am living since I have been doing such a great job...

have interviewed with 3 directors of the line of business in my field and 4 others out of this company...but here I am... friday is my last day and so far noone has made an offer.

But I guess... it's not that the Gods are not listening... it's just that my situation is so bad that makes me impatient... maybe this is the lesson I need to learn...

I have had polite conversation with my collegues about what they thought of Obama's candidacy...

to be honest, now that I live in the South (Nashville,TN), I was actually curious to pick different people's brains on the subject (I personally belive that the color of one's skiin shouldn't matter... politicians will be politicians and they will steal candy from children to get elected...)

What really concerns me is...the worst case scenario...

let's say that Obama does get elected...then one of the attemps of his life is successfull...

if I am not mistaken, by the Patriot Act, that would put the country under martial law...

again... I have to research this a little better... but if i am right... it's scary 

Now being so new to the Old Religion, please forgive me if what you are about to read is trivial or naive...

I have found myself of late in a swamped situation of which I am putting all my energy in to get out...

The primary need I have off course is a job that i know won't be a temp one... so i turned to the Anicient gods for help and guidance...

The first time I have performed this spell I faced east. I burned a white candle for the Goddess and a red one for the God. I had a white candle representing myself and a copy of my resume. My favorite pen (a gift for my Bachelor's) and cedar incense along with citrine stone and clear quartz, the gold necklace with a fire topaz pendant I always wear.

After a weeks of first performing this ritual, I got the job I am in right now... which is exactly what I wanted to do with the pay rate i need only it's a temp position.

That was almost 3 months ago... my contract is about to expire and I am desperately looking to get a perm position...

I have performed my career spell every week almost for the past 2 months and nothing is happening ( chances come to me but they don't finalize)...

I have also changed the career spell facing North now and using a gold candle along with the while candle...and no cpy of the resume...

I know, as I write this the first thing that comes to my head is to go back to the original ritual and perform it just the way i did the first time...

But does anyone has any suggestion on the matter? I can really use some help 

Thanks...Stelli

ps: my apologies for any mispelling...spellchek is not working right now

Hi there, I am flattered so many pf you welcomed me!

To reply to you Morf, I guess I like the short I have been give "stelli"

Ops, I am very interested in the spirituality of Native Americans... I believe it's the closest thing we have left (?) to the old religion... but I have to admit "I know nothing but the fact of my ignorance" 

Hello everyone,
I was referred to this site by a good friend and estimated collegue of mine, Morf.

I find the idea of having a place where discuss idea and opinions without prejudice and in a civilized manner very refreshing.

I am from Rome, Italy so I grew up in Catholic enviroment. Thrughout my life I have felt the call for the ancient ways very strong in me but it wasn't until recently that I have finally let myself go down that path... and now I am learning and listening
