Welcome to Gaia! ::

weeeee! *runs around* Happy Litha/Yule!

well, yesterday I figured out an easy way to make a crown (by accident, lol). Take three stems of wheat, strong grass, or another appropriate plant, and braid them together. If they're long enough, they'll start to curve (or at least it did for me) you can tie the ends together with another stem or a blade of grass, or a string if you prefer. Flower stems can be stuck into the small holes in the braid, with the flowers upwards. I'm sure you can stick in other things, such as feathers, if you like. I used short stems, so it was only big enough for my cat, but she looked pretty in it sweatdrop lol. Also, they can be used as decorations. I used yellow flowers, so it reminded me of a Sun Goddess.

And I would love to show you, but unfortunately my camera isn't functional right now. whee Don't worry though, once I have a new one I'll be sure to show off some of my creations. 3nodding

I have dressed my avi up for the ocasion. He is an animal like creature with a animal skin on his head. There horns represent the god, and the fire represents his power and how it is strongest today of all days. the animal half show the god in the sence that he is a skilled hunter, and is only there to help you see he is the god. The animal at his feet are also a emphasis on that. So i thought it was fun to do...^_^



ill post more later, but thats what i got for now...

hay, do we have a contest for dressing for the holiday? We should have something like that, or at least a tek tek. But to really do it take more time...^_^

[edit]
ignore last statement, just read the avitar contest link...^_^ oops, my bad

oh.. well I don't really have anything significant to say, other than I wish you all a very pleasant Litha/Yule ^^

Well, I'm going to be re-dedicating myself to the Lord and Lady. I'm not sure what is going to happen this time, but It'll probably be really unique, like the last time.
Each time is each to its own, I've heard. In other words, it's unique in its own way everytime you do it.
The first time was kind of in a hurry, so this time I want it to be special and magickal!

Haha, you're not snoopy at all. XD

The thing in the middle with the pentacle is some tile thing I made when I was like 8 years old or something. It was supposed to be 2 dolphins jumping from the ocean, but it needed a tile cutter and I didn't have one... So I did that instead... =] The pentacle was a later addition.

And yup, that's my wand. I have no idea what kind of tree it came from, but it's common where I live. When I went to take the stick home to make it, the thing was almost big enough to make a staff... XD As for the wood, the bark has dark and light splotches all over, and I carved the swirl by removing the bark. By jasper, do you mean the stone on the bottom? The one at the bottom is jasper, then there are different colored ones for the chakras in knots in the stick all the way up to the top. The green and blue ones are also visible. Thanks for the compliment!

And... I think that looks more like a barn owl's feather. [here]

Edit: I just discovered that the tree that I got my wand from is probably American sycamore. It fell in a forest, so I can only tell from the bark and from what's common around here. But I think that's it.

I sign~! heart Sadly, I'm not doing anything too exciting this Yule... Just trying to keep warm while I slave away on my assignments! gonk

Why am I on Gaia instead of working, you ask?
