Ode to a Really fat Dragon
By the Hexie, Captain Deliria, of the Good Ship, Simulacrum
Around and stealing from pouches and such
Oh, Biffy, your hella big and all that
But how the hell did you become so fat.
Did you eat all your runners today
the ones way to slow to run away.
Well you don't know who I even am
Cause I came when the sh*t hit the fan
And now I am here, here to stay
You'll never get me to go away
Your magical vortex titillated me
And persuaded me to hereafter be
But I am careful to never steal too much
You have lots of issues I can see
Which works out really well for me
You'll be too busy to ever wonder why
You mechanical devices always seem to die
I will wander about and break all your stuff
Til you'll wonder when enough is enough.
And I like to tease and throw snot on your head
I am a jolly, quick pirate of the multiseas!
Its hilarious when I see your eyes go red
You'll wonder why I am here today
Well its not my fault either way
My magical ship was sailing and free
When suddenly it shipwrecked me!
The quickest and mightiest of all Hexies
But my magic suddenly took a dive
But least here I am snappy n'alive!
Save that stinky dragon's breath o'flame
You don't get respect when you're so lame!
Cause I'm the new kick thing in the house
Damn any spirit or the furry demon mouse!
Practicality
Practicality
I have never been involved in one of these discussions yet, but I thought it was time to
start thinking...Disclaimer: I don’t know if I am doing this right....and all of this is in my
opinion....
As far as practicality goes in relation to my personal ethics and how it relates to my
spirituality, I suppose it kind of goes hand in hand. I just started reading the book “Before
you cast a spell” and he makes a point of saying that magic needs to be practical. This not
only means planning and having intention behind the spell, but it should be one you need.
Doreen Virtue points out that the primary difference between how angels and fae work
are that the angels have more to do with your spiritual growth and fae have to do with the
practical things in life.
Does this mean that as far as your magic or spiritual changes go you have to be firmly
rooted in “real” life? No. It doesn’t. What it means though, is that you need to have a
firm grasp on reality, how you can affect it and what changes you are MEANT to make.
For instance, is it practical to heal every illness? No. People need to die, they need to
strengthen their immune system, etc. Those cycles and needs were put into place so
people would change and grow, not just physically, but due to the emotional changes
illness brings with them.
Another part of practicality is whether it is necessary to make actions, cast spells or get
involved. Perhaps the solution will arrive or conclude without your help. Perhaps you
shouldn’t always get in the way of fate. Perhaps it will harm more than help by getting
involved. That is one of the reasons that it is difficult to make decisions and all the
ones you make have to be looked at from each angle. This doesn’t just refer to magical
changes as much as real, physical based changes and decisions.
This might mean that as far as being physically practical, you need to look at things
objectively. Ask yourself if you really need a cookie, if you really need to buy
ANOTHER stuffed unicorn, ask if you really need three copies of the same book. Now,
if you’re me, it might be practical having three copies of the same book (one for notes,
one personal, one coven). OK, maybe I am stretching it, but there are some times when it
is more practical to have it that way. Maybe its not owning something that you need to be
practical about, but your life decisions.
Perhaps it is more practical moving than living in the same place. Perhaps it is better
because you are closer to a job, or further from the bustle of the big city. Whatever it
is, there is usually a reason you are presented with the decision. Sometimes making
the decision is the life lesson. Either way, I think having both spiritual and mundane
practicality is necessary and augments certain parts of your life.
