Stones and Bones

This weekend I concluded my two-year Feri apprenticeship training with yezida. I gave all of my classmates hugs, wished them well, received their well-wishings in return, expressed our hopes to see each other again (I threatened the household up there with a stargazing date), and teinedreugan and I brought Thorn to the airport.

It's been an interesting two years. I am wrapped around a still place in my centre. (My god, my god, She's full of stars.)

Onwards, into the future.



When I got home, I lit a candle on my ancestor altar for Carl, who was not there to hug and wish well. papersky said once that it was the lost futures we mourn.

When his candle is done burning, I will light one for Chavi from the Cauldron, who went West a year ago today.
