Suicidality is still high, and I lost most of yesterday (with the exception of a brief interlude where I actually did 30 minutes of exercise) to "what the fuck is the point?" depression. I feel like I don't fit inside my own skin and want to just lie down, close my eyes, and never wake up again. But we've all heard that song before, haven't we? So, I'll stop singing it.

On Saturday evening, went out to a ritual on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, about 1 hour north of Winnipeg. Managed to do the HPS thing without totally screwing it up, and had quite a nice post-ritual feast around the bonfire afterwards. Also brought home a couple of containers of Patricia Beach sand -- very fine, pale grey, and perfect for cauldron/censer use. Maybe at the next Full Moon ritual (assuming I'm still in the game) we'll consecrate it and share it out amongst the group members.

That's pretty much all I can say without getting onto the topic of the depression again, so... that's it.

That was me this evening, at the Christmas Craft Sale at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Holy crap... I dropped almost $300, but I DID get gifts for everyone on my list except George and my mother (though I did pick up something for her cat), and a good chunk of it went to a pair of housewarming/wedding/Christmas presents (finally!) for Terri and Roger, who have been very good and understanding about not having received anything yet.

So needless to say I can't disclose anything that I bought. ;-) Well, except for my mother's new cat's present: a catnip blanket with a pattern featuring cats looking at classic art pieces redone with cat themes (what a mouthful!), and a bag of high-test organic catnip. Yowza! I rushed it right into the freezer as soon as I got home, and Emmie was STILL getting high off the fumes clinging to the plastic bag I carried the stuff home in.

Before the craft sale, I dropped off the amulet bag and blessed candle to Sandy, the girl at the Second Cup who approached the Witches Meetup group for aid. Apparently Gabriel, her cat, is doing a bit worse today, but the vet has waived the fees for the surgery this morning to implant a catheter, which is good news.

And since it's now been more or less 24 hours since we performed the rite, I can post the text of the spell. X-posted to [livejournal.com profile] wiccanmoons.
