Utility Bills...a modern-day cancer

I hate the utility bill.  It's like some cancer that you almost cure one month, only to find out that it has resurfaced the next.  I use to love these huge old houses; and I actually wanted another (older) bigger old house.  I'm having second thoughts on this.

We have (had) such a clean record with our utility bill that we were eligible for the monthly plan-- whatever they call it-- that means a constant consistent amount due each month.  Every year this would be re-evaluated and any extra money that was paid (like during the quiet spring and autumn months, when you're not using heat or air conditioning)  would be applied to your budget.  I've had a couple people talk about this with glowing recommendations, claiming that they even came out ahead with a "free" month.

Then came our re-evaluation this April.

WTF

Our monthly payment plan was raised by $40.

I think the cancer is back, and this time it looks like radiation might be required-- she says with more than a trace of sarcasm.

But wait, maybe there are more unique and creative options...the acquisition of a much smaller energy-efficient house; or a move to the Alaska Outback, where we can live in a log cabin "off-the-grid"; or a Little-Grass-Hut in Hawaii-- I haven't met "Aunty Patsy" yet (Joe's family, on the Hawaiian side).

I'm kind of swinging toward the last one. :)


Yes!  Exactly!...this is My Dream House.  No, really, it is.

I Finally Got It Cleaned (a photo blog)



The Witchy Corner: upstairs hallway, all lit up.
 
I finally cleaned this infamous corner.  It's at the end of the upstairs hallway, and I swear I haven't touched it in two years.  This gave it a rather dusty-haunted-house-movie-set-look (I told myself.)  The old-black-magick vibes were so strong here, I claimed, "I won't even touch this corner!" (That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.)  I got enough dust and dog hair off the bottom shelf to make another dog.
 
The Witchy Corner: upstairs hallway,
all dark & mysterious (and out of focus).
 
The Witchy Corner: All the glass jars and bottles are shiny and sorted.  I went through
herbs, magickal potions, graveyard dirt, incense, and candles...choking on dust all the way.

 
We haven't seen this cat (Bast) since yesterday afternoon, nor have we seen her sister, Duchess.  Where did she go? She's almost 14 years old and has lived here all her life, she doesn't wander away.  One thought I had was that the neighbor lady, who had a rummage sale in her garage yesterday, might have accidently closed up her sale at the end of the day and our cats right along with it-- if they were silly enough to have been sneaking around in her garage.  If we don't see these old ladies by tomorrow, I'll ask.



Bast
We are up, more often than not, at the crack of dawn. I have no idea why-- We don't have any place we have to be at this time of day.  (And when Joe goes back to work, on 2nd shift, the switch in timing is going to kill us!)  Morning is my favorite time of day.  I look forward to morning coffee; morning news; mornings on the back porch-- when it's warm; and mornings are my favorite time to write.  Morning sunshine is one of my favorite things. Mornings are a threshold (dawn), a magickal time.

Sunrise: I was trying to capture the rays of the sun through this series
of spider webs at the top of the ceiling.  But the sun was overpowering,
& I probably don't have the right kind of camera.

My birthday was in September, my 57th birthday.  I woke up that morning to a table full of flowers, boxes, cats, and a cake.  (It was a grand day.)  My kids are good kids, my hubby is a good hubby.  I am a lucky woman, I am, indeed.  Autumn is my favorite season-- I'm glad it is the season of my birth, says this Libra.

Notice the "Hershey's Chocolate Bar?  This, and a Rockstar
energy drink, are my favorite breakfast.  It's a perfect start to the day.

We're getting ready for Samhain (Halloween) on the 31st (my daughter, Sara's, birthday); and then we will be winding down, putting things away, battening down the hatches, preparing for the frigid winter we know is coming.  I feel an uncanny urgency to get this done quickly this year...it's an omen.  I feel winter coming, it's whispering in my ear.

"The Court" is so different this time of year.  In the summer months, this is a gathering place, a place for hot dog barbecues, early morning coffee, a gathering place to chat and re-group, a quiet place to read or write.  But all I can think of now is getting everything dismantled and put away before the North Wind hits and the Snow starts to fly.

I Am Me! Am I Me? I think I'm Me. Maybe I'm Me?

My Facebook account has been "Temporarily Suspended" because Facebook says I'm not using my Real Name-- Amythyst Raine Hatayama is my real & legal name, just to keep things straight.  I have complied, as best I can-- with a photo of my Drivers License, as they requested a "photo ID", which had to include my name and birthdate. (Boy, this sounds weird and creepy.)

Here's the email from Facebook:

To
Me

Today at 2:03 PM

Hi,
Your account is temporarily suspended because we think your Timeline doesn’t list your real name. Facebook is a community where people use their real identities. We require everyone to provide their real information so you always know who you're connecting with.

Before we can reopen your account, we need to verify your identity. If you haven't already done so, please upload your ID. The fastest way to confirm your name is to send us a government-issued ID. If you don't have one, we'll accept two of the following alternative IDs:

Things I'll Bet You Didn't Know

1.  I didn't know this myself until a couple years ago, when my neck started bothering me, and I thought, "Hmmm, wonder what's wrong; I better get this checked out."  And the doctor took an x-ray.

Over 30 years ago, I was thrown from a horse and landed on my head, snapping my neck sideways.  I didn't go to a doctor, being young and foolish, thinking that if I could get up and walk away, it was all okay.  I was wrong.  Come to find out, I had broken my neck!

The doctor looked at my x-ray and said, "Wow, you must have been in an awful accident!"

The top two vertebrae were fractured horizontally, over half-way through.  There's a bone chip from each of these vertebrae laying in front of them.  The next three vertebrae, as a single unit, is tipped backward slightly from the top two.  My spinal cord doesn't run straight through my neck, it takes a little curvy detour at the point between the top 2 vertebrae and the bottom 3. 

Yes, I baby my neck.

Yes, I do appreciate how lucky I am.

Yes, I know that this old injury could cause some pain and discomfort as I age.  (It already does.)

2.  How to tell if someone is a witch:

A writer, Stacy Conradt, wrote a wonderful article with a list of ten ways you can tell if someone is a witch.  These were actually used for the "Are You a Witch Test" during the witch trials in Salem!  (I would've been so screwed!)  I'll list the 10 ways, and you'll have to follow the link to Stacy's article for the explanations, it's interesting and to the point-- it's a great read! 

1. Make a witch cake.

2. Weigh them against a stack of Bibles.

3. Check for moles, birthmarks, scars, or extra nipples - they're marks of the Devil.

4. Observe them talking to themselves.

5. See if they can say the Lord's Prayer.

6. Ask a hard-of-hearing elderly woman if she's guilty while her good ear is turned the other way.

7. Observe the number of pets she has.

8. Take their sarcastic comments seriously.

9. Ask if they've had dreams about Native Americans.

10. Check to see how many times they've been married.

(I would've been screwed with 3, 4, 7, & 10.)

to determine a person guilty of witchcraft:

Shunn-- ing

As some of you who know me know, I'm estranged from certain elements of my Family, have been for about 10 years now.  Interesting, the reasons so petty and lost in the mists of time.  In plain English-- it was all stupid.  But I've also experienced this psychological phenomena within the community where I live; and I've been a witness to this practice with my ex-husband's family.  It is very extreme and weird behavior no matter what the scenario.

Since I don't experience this sort of urge (to shun), I find it difficult to understand the logic behind it.  I've been looking into the exact definition of Shunning and the psychological cause & effect.  Much to my surprise, Shunning is considered torture.  (Aren't you all proud of yourselves?)

The following information has been taken from good ole' Wikipedia. (I will dutifully supply a link to the page at the bottom of this post.)
____________________
 
Shunning can be the act of social rejection, or emotional distance. In a religious context, shunning is a formal decision by a denomination or a congregation to cease interaction with an individual or a group, and follows a particular set of rules. It differs from, but may be associated with, excommunication.
 
Social rejection occurs when a person or group deliberately avoids association with, and habitually keeps away from an individual or group. This can be a formal decision by a group, or a less formal group action which will spread to all members of the group as a form of solidarity. It is a sanction against association, often associated with religious groups and other tightly knit organizations and communities. Targets of shunning can include persons who have been labeled as apostates, whistleblowers, dissidents, strikebreakers, or anyone the group perceives as a threat or source of conflict. Social rejection has been established to cause psychological damage and has been categorized as torture.[1] Mental rejection is a more individual action, where a person subconsciously or willfully ignores an idea, or a set of information related to a particular viewpoint. Some groups are made up of people who shun the same ideas.[2]

Social rejection was and is a punishment used by many customary legal systems. Such sanctions include the ostracism of ancient Athens and the still-used kasepekang in Balinese society.

Effects
Shunning is often used as a pejorative term to describe any organizationally mandated disassociation, and has acquired a connotation of abuse and relational aggression. This is due to the sometimes extreme damage caused by its disruption to normal relationships between individuals, such as friendships and family relations. Disruption of established relationships certainly causes pain, which is at least an unintended consequence of the practices described here, though it may also in many cases be an intended, coercive consequence. This pain, especially when seen as unjustly inflicted, can have secondary general psychological effects on self-worth and self-confidence, trust and trustworthiness, and can, as with other types of trauma, impair psychological function.

Shunning often involves implicit or explicit shame for a member who commits acts seen as wrong by the group or its leadership. Such shame may not be psychologically damaging if the membership is voluntary and the rules of behavior were clear before the person joined. However, if the rules are arbitrary, if the group membership is seen as essential for personal security, safety, or health, or if the application of the rules is inconsistent, such shame can be highly destructive. This can be especially damaging if perceptions are attacked or controlled, or various tools of psychological pressure applied.

Extremes of this cross over the line into psychological torture and can be permanently scarring.

A key detrimental effect of some of the practices associated with shunning relate to their effect on relationships, especially family relationships. At its extremes, the practices may destroy marriages, break up families, and separate children and their parents. The effect of shunning can be very dramatic or even devastating on the shunned, as it can damage or destroy the shunned member's closest familial, spousal, social, emotional, and economic bonds.

Shunning contains aspects of what is known as relational aggression in psychological literature. When used by church members and member-spouse parents against excommunicant parents it contains elements of what psychologists call parental alienation. Extreme shunning may cause traumas to the shunned (and to their dependents) similar to what is studied in the psychology of torture.

Shunning is also a mechanism in family estrangement. When an adult child, sibling, or parent physically and/or emotionally cuts himself off from the family without adequate justification, the act traumatizes the family. [9]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunning

This is probably the last time I will post on this topic, as life is moving on, and I'm moving right along with it.  However, I would like to acknowledge an interesting point, that the one thing I find connected to individuals who practice Shunning, in all of the above scenarios (both family & community), is extreme narcissism, jealousy, and a need for control.

The observation of and research into people who "Shun" could be a psychological study in and of itself.  (And it just might be somewhere, who knows.)

Okay, I Take That Back

About "Premier Staffing" in Fremont, Nebraska, that is.

You might want to read what would be considered Part One of this story, including the comment that I left: And Then Again...Strike 3

I wanted to be diplomatic and kind to this agency because I thought I would be working with them to find a job in the future, and I didn't want to "burn my bridges" so to speak.  I changed my mind.  I take that back.

I've been calling this agency once a week, with no results, unless I would have been qualified to be 1) a bartender at Appleby's, or 2)  a licensed physical therapist...neither of which I'm qualified to do, just to keep things clear and in perspective.

This last week is the last time I will call the morons masquerading as an employment agency. 

I asked my usual question:  "Do you have anything in that would work for me?"

Mind you now, this is a woman that I've talked with once a week for weeks.  This is a woman I've sat across the desk from and talked to for a half hour interview.  Keep in mind that this woman knows me!

Her response, in this idiotic overly-cheerful voice:  "Oh, we got lots of things in this week!" (my heart leaps hopefully)  "Let's see, we're looking for sand blasters, and welders, and the farmers are going to be starting their harvest and they're going to be needing some help in the cornfields."

My brain froze at this point.  I still hear her voice, but it sounds as though I'm hearing it from a long distance.  She's chattering on, something about sorting corn!

Morons.  The lot of them. 

No, it's not me driving either one of these farm vehicles; and good thing too. 
The rows would definitely not be this straight!

From the first spell 17-year-old Amythyst cast in the basement of her grandmother's house, to the first tarot deck that called her name, she knew that her direction in life and her spiritual path would be unique and unconventional.

Her life has gone through numerous transformations, from care-free South Dakota horse woman, to home-schooling mother of seven, to first-time published author at 50. She went on to write ten more books, one becoming a best seller. She released her eleventh book in 2023.

Amythyst was born in Los Angeles CA, raised in South Dakota, transplanted in mid-life to Nebraska to rear six of her children, and in her 60s she migrated to Arizona and set up house 40 miles from Phoenix. As her life has proven, the transformations never end but keep evolving, there's new experiences around every corner, and life is a fresh and unpredictable adventure at every stage.

Amythyst Raine is a Best-Selling author of metaphysical books on tarot and intuitive reading, witchcraft, Wicca, paganism, women's mysteries, new-age spirituality, the pagan Goddess, gray magic, and green witchcraft.

Amythyst is also the author of a new book that is a whole new genre for her. It's all about relationships: "Chronicles of a Madd Housewife: It's Not You, It's Me", available @ Amazon.

She's been published by Rockridge Press; Moon Books (John Hunt Publishing); Dodona Books (John Hunt Publishing), Amazon & Pink Orchid Publishing; and Labyrinth House Publishing.

Amythyst is a happy heathen living among the ley lines of Arizona.

BEST SELLER!!... THE GRAY WITCH'S GRIMOIRE

BEST SELLER!!... THE GRAY WITCH'S GRIMOIRE
What makes this book unique? The world of the gray witch has been largely avoided, misrepresented, or glossed over with various books geared gingerly towards ‘protection magic’. This book puts matters to right and gives the public a view of just what the gray witch is – and what she isn’t. The gray witch does not live in a world of chaos or unbridled black magic. She has a code of honor, a sense of propriety, and a relevance in today’s society.

NATURAL MAGICK THE GRAY WITCH WAY

NATURAL MAGICK THE GRAY WITCH WAY
Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way explores the magick and mystery of old world traditions from a unique perspective, that of the Gray Witch. While the modern world and everything in it are often viewed as either black or white, there are those magickal practitioners who recognize a more realistic normality ~ that shady gray area where the lines are blurred, and the adventuresome practitioners will discover that witchcraft can consist of power and justice, as well as love and peace. And in this realization comes an epiphany, one is not so different from the other. Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way is an excellent companion book to The Gray Witch’s Grimoire!

THE SPIRITUAL FEMINIST

THE SPIRITUAL FEMINIST
"So many people throughout my life have told me who I am, what I must do, what I can't do, what I have to complete, and what I will never be able to accomplish, and then I met the Goddess." (From The Spiritual Feminist) ...The Spiritual Feminist empowers today's modern woman through the Goddess, connecting her to ancient matriarchal divinity and spiritual practices which invoke this energy.
