Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?

PurpleLama,
Maybe my zebra suit is coming off. There is a burning zebra thingy about all this, which might be becoming something else. PL, can you tell me why you put dragons blood incense on the top of your outdoor fire altar ? Which is magnificent by the way.
I love fire. I was certified a pyro by my parents when I was about 7. I started one night when everyone is in bed. I would go down to the kitchen and light up the wall paper with one of those click firelighters. Then smudge it out really quickly. Did this a few nights, it was the thrill of burning and being caught doing it that kept me going.
Until the night the flames took hold and went right up the wall.
Oh gee, was I in trouble after that
Have a bit more respect for a fire these days. I lay citrus peel on top of my carmine in the kitchen. The smell of the oils burning wafts right through the house. After the peel is burnt, it makes great tinder for the next fire.
@dan I don't understand about me and Perer Sellers. I shall investigate. Can you see the dragon inside the fire?
@Zebra are you sure you're not just a hot zebra?
I got into trouble for setting things on fire many times as a child, many times. When I was fourteen I kept setting fire to the cut up side of a matress, the cotton inside, until finally I couldn't put it out, so I ran and got some water and doused it, and for a moment I thought all was fine. A few minutes later, smoke came out of the other side, and after a brief moment I realized what I had to do, and dragged it outside. I was fourteen at the time, so I slept on the floor for the next two years, my parents seeing that as a suitable punishment, although from age six I had never slept in my bed, much, or at least I never woke up in the bed, much. I had so-called abduction experiences, and I would wake up literally all over the house, under the kitchen tabel, in the laundry room, in the hall way, the bathtub, you get the picture. My parents, naturally being concerned, put burgular bars on the house, and kept the doors bolted with a key, at night. Yet, I would often wake up with grass, leaves, and dirt on and around my feet, which was the source of some confusion.
Ok, so I wandered off a bit. At sixteen, my dad passed, as has been mentioned before, but until then, I fell asleep on the couch. Here and now, that might be the most revelatory I've been. Maybe not. Who's gonna check over ten thousand posts to be sure? Hmm, anyway.
Dragons blood is just part of what I'm about. Today it was copal, several ounces of it, that's been poured over the top of the crystals of the DB. I have accomplished much podunk magic today. The wind has been absolutely great today. I'm actually a little more Air than Fire, I just married into Fire. Air makes fire really Hot. Ha.
Zebra, I don't know if your questions are answered. Feel free to message me, please.
I love all y'all.
PL
