The Six of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies in self-consciousness. I am not alone. It's not too late to make a fresh start or to pursue my hearts desire. The fountain of my youth or my Holy Grail is revealed in the simple pleasures and gestures that are unaware of their own beauty, connection, and power. I am empowered by nostalgia or past perceptions and my gift is rejuvenation.

And that is a great way to describe the day. I went to Pagan Pride day with Tarot-To-Go today and The man. We set up the pavillion and he went off to do his thing(GOB and Comic relief as well as go draw) and I got the booth rolling and we did a total of 32 reading between 5 readers! Pretty great considering it was a very small event as it almost didn't happen! The city had the park at MLK ave and Milian closed off and almost didn't allow it to happen but it went on! We did it as a street fair. There was not to many venders, but there were plenty of Pagans! We gave out flyers about our coming event as well and give away tickets to it during the raffle.(What event? You may be wondering... http://www.tarot-to-go.net/World%20Tarot%20Day.html

ABOUT WORLD TAROT DAYTM
(From DenElder's WorldTarotDay.org, the originator of World Tarot DayTM):

Motto : "The Light you seek can be found in your own lantern."©

Dedicated to: every person who has, does, or will recognize Tarot as a valuable self-help tool.


Description : "To promote the use of the Tarot tool across all human made borders, be they political boundaries, misunderstandings of the mind, or ignorance of the tool itself, for the benefit and growth of the Spiritual Self."

Purpose :
1) To promote Tarot's use beyond any public conception of it as 'evil' or Satanic.
2) To promote Tarot uses in honest manner with integrity.
3) To promote the use of Tarot in responsible manner beyond both use as an unsavory monetary "fortune-telling" scheme, as well as use as a crutch by those unwilling to take responsibility for their own future and/or behavior.
4) To promote Tarot use as a tool for self-examination, spirituality, and other self-aide methods of guidance.
5) To have at least one day to celebrate, share, and stimulate our love of the Tarot tool with each other, and to think about what we can 'give' to instead of what we can 'take' from the Tarot Community.

But I digress...

Today was great and of course I got to causally chat up my not-so-secret crush, Uncledark, who was promoting The Ancient Way Feastival(http://www.ancientways.com/node/14). And as always dreamy and sweet and super smart!(When I had the courage to chat with him and not feel super foolish, it was informative and entertaining... *blush*)The Man just pointed out "It is okay ... I could take him and Doogie Howier" Now that is a sight... Uncledark and Doogie... hmmm not so yummy as The Man and Uncledark at once ... *blush* uhm... stopping now! *kisses to you both*

Saw a ton of people too! Sami406 and jmdg, James, UncleDark and his lady, Glenn Turner, and so many more I just can't recall. It was great. It is nice to see all these happy Pagans celebrating what they believe and not having to hide what and who they are. And to be honest it is just nice to see smiling people who are excepting of different beliefs and NOT stopping ANY ONE(Including Christians ) for talking together. Nice to live here on the "Left" Coast some times.

Well I am off to bed to sleep and then go to The Man's folks for Mother's Day. My mom is visiting my grandma in Niagara Falls but they both got cards so...Phone calls tomorrow!

Have a terrific rest of your weekend and CALL YOUR MOTHERS if you have one or the other important women in your life who happen to be moms. They are pretty awesome.

Humm...if Uncledark is who I think it is I can't blame you. Very much of the yumm...

[livejournal.com profile] auriellia and I have gone into AW many of times and been like...damn that is one good looking guy...and she and I rarely agree on the same taste in men (good thing too).

I don’t think I am going to make the Tarot event...I have a very expensive month this month (going to LA and all next weekend) and taking two weeks off next month to go back east oh and of course the unplanned trip to the kitty emergency room...the cost (even with the Pride discount) is a bit too steep for me. Maybe next year I will be able to make it.

I would love to get together some time soon though since we never see each other even though we only live a few miles away! That is just nuts!
