Two nights away

I went home on the weekend, well back to the place I had called home since I first left this town. It was great to be back. On Friday night we went to this club called Lenin. I’m not sure why it was called Lenin as the only thing about it that was Russian was that it sold vodka. There were lots of drinks, lots of dancing and lots of laughing. I slipped back in easily. Well I’d not been gone that long, more like I’d been away on holiday. A few guys hit on me and I danced with a couple. No one got why I giggled when they asked me if I’d found a new beau. I didn’t tell them, well there really isn’t much to say.

The girls kept me up all night Saturday doing the girls night thing. Lots of bad food, lots of singing and mushy movies. It was great. I didn’t get much sleep either night and I didn’t have any more of the dreams when I did sleep.

I didn’t really want to come home, I have a place back there, friends, a lifestyle. Here I’m a stranger not sure about much except my house and the store. Kelly cried when she dropped me back at the airport. I told her she can come and visit me anytime she misses me but I know she won’t. I don’t think Kelly has ever been further than the airport. I got asked a bit about living in hillbilly hell but so far I haven’t really had any problems with that. You would think that a little store like the Spiral would kick up all kinds of trouble but I think they focus on the medieval aspect, think it’s a little bit of history or mythology. Maybe I’m giving more credit than is due and they just don’t think about it much at all. Or perhaps I’m going to be half drowned and tied to a stake on my return. I hope not. I think with all the actual supernatural creatures running around the bigots and haters have far more on their plate than a girl who sells necklaces, candles and does the occasional reading.

So I’m back after two days of pretending. I’ll keep unpacking and making Aunt Seph’s house into my home and tomorrow I’ll head back to the store. The girls should be returning the outfits they hired and I’m keen to hear how the Hand-fasting went.

The Dream

I was standing in a dark hallway. The walls were stone and there was a cold dampness in the air. I was dressed in a beautiful dress. It was a deep red. The bodice wrapped and crossed over its self clinging to my body down to my hips where the material fell out in waves loose around my legs. I could feel the shoes on my feet and how their heels raised me up elongating my legs. I didn’t look down or raise my dress so I could see them it was enough to know they were there. I was more concerned with where I was.

I felt a touch on my shoulder and turned to see him. He took my hand and led me down the hall. We reached stairs and descended. Nineteen stairs in all and reached a great wooden door. He swung it open and led me in. The floor of the room was alternating black and white marble slabs. Each side of the room stood large columns. At first glance it seemed there was the same number on each side but I looked closer and realised that one side held 9 and the other 7. I knew that if I rejected him I would become column number 8. Trapped for all time in stone ever aware but immobile. Alive but not living.

At the end of the room was a large stone throne. It was carved but I could not make the detail from where I stood.

He pulled me into the centre of the room and I stared into his eyes. Each time I looked into them they changed colour, brown, green, black, blue and red.

He raised my hand and placed his other on my waist and we began to dance.

He was darkness but he wasn’t evil. I couldn’t explain the difference but I knew it.

He spun me around the floor pulling me close to him, pushing me away and then bring us back together. Then he spun me out again letting me go. My body raised itself up in the air and danced of its own accord. I was powerless, a puppet to another’s control. I moved like a spirit of the air my dress swirling out like petals. And then I returned to the ground and he took me in his arms leaning me back. One hand was on my lower back the other gently cradled my neck as my head fell back exposing my neck. My hands fell back as if I was being crucified. I didn’t know whether he sort to kill me, kiss me, bite me or devour me. His mouth moved to my neck and he kissed my neck, my shoulders, my chest over and over.

I woke.

The room was a soft blue grey giving it a surreal, unreal feel. I was confused. The dream so real in my head. More memory then fantasy.

Jealousy

Just got an email from Carrie, Daniel's engaged. He's going to be a daddy.

Why does this upset me so much, I don't want him, I don't care about him. But how dare he find happiness. It broke my heart walking in on them together like that. I suffered so why should he get everything he's ever wanted now, loving wife and child. Here I am alone and dateless.

How is it fair, how does Karma square this off. I must either have something amazing coming or I did something terrible to deserve this.

No I am not going to let this get me down, let it hurt me. I am still an amazing person and I'll find some measure of happiness.

I hope he gets everything he deserves

To sleep to dream

I had a terrible sleep, well actually that's a lie, that implies I had sleep which was terrible, when in fact I spent most of the night wondering why I was awake.

I woke up, fully awake like it was morning. Decided to just lie there and wait for the alarm to go off. After what seemed like an hour I decided to see what the time was, I rolled over checked the time to discover that it was in fact 2.20am. I had barely been asleep when I woke.

So much for that.

New town new people

Well I have to say in just one short evening I've met quite a few new people.

Most of them seem really lovely, one I'm not so sure of, and one told me I was beautiful. He made me blush. I felt like a little school girl with a crush. And when he winked at me I near lit up. Damn its good to be found attractive by someone who is not a lying sack of shit. Don't know if I'll get the chance to see him again or not, guys that good looking usually have girls lined around the block in my experience.

I met this lovely woman, she's really lovely. Wait I said that already. She says she is a bard, I think that means she means she is a writer. But she said she knows the vampire queen and can introduce me. Imagine that. I didn't even know they had queens or anything like that.

I think I might like living here.

The life I left behind

So moving back home I've left behind another life. I was working in a book store, well running it actually. It was a nice little place with a little cafe built in. We specialised in books of a spiritual nature as well as fantasy novels. Every Thursday night was poetry night. Before I left we even had Neil Gaiman come and read a poem. "My Last Landlady"

I had plenty of friends and we were often out and about when we had time.

I had a man of my own. Or at least I thought he was my own until I caught him with his ex-girlfriend when I came back from a girls night out early. As you can imagine I ended it and threw his ass out. I can give second chances on many things but betrayal is not one of them.

So I'm hoping that I'll make new friends and maybe find myself someone special in my new life.

It's exciting and scary all at the same time.

The Spiral

The Spiral was Aunt Seph's pride and joy. It sells anything and everything related to the Celts and Druidism. She raised me in the Olde ways so I know about most of the stuff I now sell. I also do readings. Aunt Seph could read with any deck, and do runes. All I can do is my Celtic Dragon Tarot. I hope the clients are okay with that.

I studied history and comparative religion for a while so I am pretty knowledgeable and I hope it will hold me in good stead.

Arrivals

Aunt Persephone passed away about a month ago. She left me everything, the house and the shop. So after a little thought I've left behind my life in the big apple and come home again.

Here I am after so many years selling all manner of Celtic items and doing readings with my well used Celtic Dragon Tarot pack.

I'm looking forward to making a fresh start. Some come stop by The Spiral and say hi
