My friends, I have a small favor. Will you say a short prayer for me and whisper it to the Four Winds to carry to the Goddess and the God? I worked for hours today on the appeal to unemployment. I think it is unfair that such a big company would take the word of an incompetent manager without a shred of proof. I think it is unfair that they smear my good name and deny me unemployment compensation. I have worked since I was 15 years old and never been terminated before and never had my honesty nor my integrity questioned. It is unfair that those with more money and better education can put my life in turmoil. It is not easy for someone who is 62 to find work even under good conditions.
I understand that many things in this life are unfair. I have accepted injustice before this. Our family has suffered with the murder of two family members in two separate instances. Never once has my faith faltered. Never once did I doubt that those who did the wrong would be punished. This little thing, in the grand scheme of things has been like the last straw for me. This time, even for such a small thing, I ask that I see the injustice reversed. I am tired and weary of being stressed about this. I do not want to meekly accept that the world has greedy and malicious people. I want the Law of Three to come to them NOW. II want them to admit that they were wrong and to clear my name. I want an apology. I want, for once that the wrongdoer pay the price for their actions. Today, I ask for retribution. Today I ask that I be healed of all the anxiety and fear that I will not find another job, the fears that I am fast running out of ready cash. Today I ask that I remain strong and upright in my faith. Then, I let this go with these whispers to the Four Winds .........that they carry my prayers to Lord and Lady.

You are The Star
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

Hi All! I was getting ready to list some books and tarot cards on Amazon.com tonight when it occured to me that most of us pagan folk are always looking for books and half the time, money is tight. Again, most of us have books that we have read that are in good shape and we don't intend to keep all of them. I thought about starting a swap group to trade books and maybe cards too. I have several decks that I have never used.....bought them because they were beautiful and then kept using my old deck. I asked Pythia what she thought and she gave the go-ahead but told me to check throught the groups and see if there was one out there at the present. Well, I don't have high-speed, my bad luck......and I searched through groups tonight but found none like this. Thought I would put this blog out and see if anyone else thought this was a workable idea or if anyone knows of such a swap group that already exists. So, drop me a message and let me know if you will. I haven't worked out the dynamics of the thing yet but I'm not looking to make any money on this, just to open a door so we can all read more and pay less.
I was brooding today about this unemployment situation and the battle ahead to try to prove myself innocent of accusations and I decided I needed the heart of a dragon before the true battle begins. So, what did I do? Well, ritual aside, that is? I went to quiz farm to see what kind of dragon I am. This is the result. Sure and I feel better now.
You are a red dragon. The fire in you burns hot and bright. You're fun and seductive, and protective as well. You take excitment over calmness any day.

I've been doing a lot of this since Tuesday. I am so furious/anxious/frustrated. That idiot manager fired me, accused me of stealing a book of lottery tickets. In all the years I have worked retail, I have never stolen anything. I was livid. So, when I calmed down the next day, I called the unemployment office, applied for unemployment, talked to people who would testify that I had worked for them for so many years and was not a thief because I know we are going to have to have a hearing and an appeal and all that happy crappy. Then, I called the regional manager of the company and told them that I was wrongly accused, there was no proof and that this manager was in so much financial trouble, he had bill collectors calling all day at work and that we thought he was manipulating company money and had been for quite some time. It's a big stressful mess. Anyhow, the good thing.........the company is going to start an investigation and he will be under the microscope at least for the next week.
Meanwhile, I have no income and have to be sparing with what I have. At age 62, it's not easy to find work, especially with something like that on your record. I am trying to keep a positive attitude and make the best of time off from work. I"ve spent three days as a couch potato, on the phone and watching the idiot box and I've had enough of that. I"m going to put some things on eBay, some books on Amazon and I'm going to work on opening that online Etsy store that I"ve been wanting to do for two months. I went to the psychic fair today, knowing I could not spend any money, but I did talk to two women who would like help putting their own work online so maybe something will come of that. Hopefully, things will turn around sooner rather than later. Wish me luck!
