- After supper last night, I went to bed at about 8:20 PM with the intent of sleeping the entire night. I slept like a log until just about midnight, then woke up to go to the bathroom and lie in bed with some indigestion until a little past 1:00 AM. The rest of my night consisted of fitful sleep. No gorging on food for me this weekend, definitely; better to work it out of my system. While I've committed myself to making a deep dish pizza, I can probably wait until Sunday to do that.
- I wonder if this lack of sleep is having an effect on my concentration. Yesterday it was harder to achieve a relaxed state than it had been previously, and even though I attempted to attain the same frame of mind that let me envision the flaming aura the other day, I wasn't able to do so. I won't try so hard to concentrate today; instead I'll just do the "zen" thing and let whatever happens, happen.
- Posted to the Chaos Magic group on Facebook: "Apparently one aspect of Chaos magic that ticks off other pagan sects is the way we're allowed to pick and choose our deities from any pantheon we want, including fiction or making up our own gods. This aspect appeals to me, as I've long been convinced ALL gods are fictitious. Since they were all invented by mortals, what's the difference between Yahweh, Kuan-Yin, Brigid, Yog-Sothoth, or Darkseid?"
