Another example of how I'm an idiot and should avoid anything magical before I injure myself...

Every day I cross over a stream going to and from work. As water is the element that I feel the closest affinity for I wanted to do something. So I was using it to try and banish any negative crap in my mind but I was also making daily offerings to it, trying to visualise offering up a small piece of energy as a gift to the stream to distribute downstream. You can see where this is going can't you?

I started on New Years Day. Since then I had slowly increasing feelings of lethargy, depression, tiredness, irritability... I don't know whether I was giving away more than I thought I was, or whether my idea of myself as some endless, infinitely self-renewing energy Pez dispenser was mistaken. All I know is that I stopped doing it last Wednesday, after a couple of very rough days, and I immediately feel a hell of a lot better.

Anyway, I'm going down to Dover for a couple of days. Quite why I thought it would be a good idea to go there I don't know, as I think of it as the Tory Brighton it's all right to hate. But hopefully at some point we'll be able to find some beach that isn't a big seaport and I can gather some stones that I can make into runestones. That's something I should be able to do without accidentally selling my soul to some dark and creepy deathless nasties from beyond the ebon night.

Hmm... because the river was moving away from you and you were sacrificing to it but what were you sacrificing? When you begin a ritual you need to either have your aim in mind or get the bargain clear- even just 'I'll worship you because I need your support'. So you were giving but never asking for anything in return??

Ummm, it was kind of, 'I give you this energy, would you be my friend? (plus, if it's not an inconvenience, would you mind if I also sometimes expel negativity in to you to get it away from me as fast as possible?)' Of course, I was doing this with no idea whether the water would mind...

This entry makes me think that you would get along well with [livejournal.com profile] heron61.

Have you considered the possibility that your increasing lethargy is independent of the sacrifice you made to the river?

Of course. I mention this only as a 'huh, how about that', much like the 'Lady/Flowers' synchronicities I saw last Spring when I decided to adopt the name. I'm just keeping an open mind Anonymous...

There's nothing quite like the beach for picking up magick supplies, sounds perfect as you feel the water vibe.

Just don't forget to ask permission, don't want to piss off the sea :)
