I did some magic in Second Life early this week.
Haven't done any magic for a long, long time. Most of my confidence at it (and a lot else) vanished over the last year and a bit. Ever since I came back from Palenville it's just sort of evaporated.
In any case, this is something I read from one of the PAGAN group notices in there - a wish granting ritual. It involves buying/owning (for a nominal fee, $1, you can't get cheaper than that, because $0 would mean it had NO value) a plot and a candle, dedicating it and adding wishes to it. If ever there was such a thing as cyber/techno pagan, this has got to be it!

In any case, it's candle magic, and candle magic has always worked for me. But I need to find and make channels for that magic to work, so I'm off to the beauticians, and off to Fair Day tomorrow, and I'm marching in the Mardi Gras parade, even though I'd been umming and ahing all year. Because for my main wish to work, I have to be connected to other people some how, make myself known. And while LJ and SL is a help, nothing beats being "face-to-face" with folk.
Think I might make a second wish too. I've been very upset about missing the deadline for my Masters. But the problem is that my old topic just wasn't enough, and I need to find a new big idea before I even bother applying again. Need to think deeply on that, because I know I have to do my masters.
