Pentacle of sticks

Right, so today i was bored and decided to create a blog (this one) and also to connect a bit with my spirituality.

So...

I made a pentacle for my altar out of sticks from the big plum tree in my front yard.

It look me 10 minutes to make and perfect, i was also considering painting it but then i decided not to since i would rather leave its natural colour to show.

but it wasn't just putting sticks together and wrapping something around it to hold it in place, it was also pretty much a ritual.

I lighted 4 white candles, invoking the 4 corners/elements to be at my midst...especially Earth since...its sticks, and sticks come from trees, and trees are part of nature and nature is the Earth.

Anyhow, at the end i was pretty happy with the result and my altar looks a lot more better and has more feeling into it (i also made a wand from a big stick which i then blessed, sharpened and placed on fire to cleanse it). it was in fact perfect for my altar (nothings ever perfect for me) so yeah, i guess i can say i've done something today.

I've also been watching so many videos, on the Gods, Goddesses and paganism/wicca. Maybe to fuel myself up a bit? perhaps, either way i feel really aggitated as i don't sense the presence of my Goddess or God around me. I could just be blocking any energies from reaching me, as im more concerned with researching or perhaps she/he is around but doesn't want me to sense them?

Oh well. xx
