INSOMNIAC!!!

OK, so its....3:21 A.M.!!! I have to be awake in five hours!!! woo!! damn orchestra practice. Why does it have to be so fuckin early????

Maybe i'll skip....but maybe i shouldn't....I don't know....there isn't much to do if I skip....i could read...or do my physics homework. But what would be the fun in that? I could go to the mall....but wait, i have no money in bank account *stupid Disney trip*. So i guess i'm going to MYS rehearsal. Garrrrr.

Hm....I'm watching this movie called "The Craft" and the inaccuracies are hysterically funny. I'll list some for you right now.
1. You do NOT need four people in a coven...generally multiples of 3 are better.
2. Rituals do NOT have to have blood drops. It is wrong and no ritual that is a real ritual requests it in Wicca.
3. When creating a circle: a) you have to make it from the inside b) you can't enter or leave it without creating a doorway c) you can enter it feeling any way you want, you don't have to be happy....the sacred circle is a reflective place and a place for meditation on problems d) walking into a circle without creating a doorway destroys it, therefore the sacred space is no longer sacred.
4. This one is probably the ABSOLUTE BIGGEST misconception brought about by this movie. It does not take great magick to invoke Spirit. Invoking Spirit is a part of daily ritual. Its a part of prayer, everything you do invokes Spirit in some form. Therefore, invoking Spirit is not a dangerous feat. Its commonplace. Also, as a sidenote, Spirit doesn't have one manifestation....he/she/it has many, depending on who is doing the invoking and what they believe.

Those are my complaints about this movie, however, i do realize its a crappy 90's movie and must be forgiven for all its faults...seeing as it was the 90's and everything in that time period was portrayed inaccurately. Thusly, I love the 90s. :)


On a lighter note, I bought a pretty necklace from Mystical Resources. Its a pentagram on a pretty silver chain...I've had my eye on it for at least a month. And everytime i went in there it was still there, so I finally had the money to buy it and i did! :)

Oh also! Later today *i guess* there is an openhouse at Mystical Resources...they offer one hour classes for free all day long. Me and Kristin L. are going to be there....yay!

And we all know that the 2000's are exceptionally accurate.

Joneka's birthday is today or something? she's going to the movies with people, atleast i think it's Joneka, someone was texting me about their birthday and i assumed its her. Jesse, Alexis, and Tessa are going with her to see some movie. I'm not going because i'm currently stuffing my face after fasting for 30 hours.
