missing Bird something fierce. like a physical ailment. feel it in my bones. the Wrongness of not having her around is getting to me. tonight is the last night, i'm supposed to hear from her tomorrow evening, so. here's hoping. i feel myself trying to not think about her, just to avoid the idea entirely. but it doesn't work. i can't get her off my mind. <3
so, today. we decided to go out to Huntersville at last. however we didn't have time to hit up the raptor center [which is RLY SAD sorry Hiccup ;_; but we'll go back soon], so we just did the witchy shop. and BOY IS IT A FUCKIN WITCHY SHOP. holy shit. bb hit the nail on the head when he knew i needed to be there. a witch shop to shame all others i have seen. fuckin amazing. i have lots of photos.
saw a million things there that i wanted of course. the fox skulls really spoke to me but they were $50 :< [lots of bone magic. talked with the shopkeeper about how great bone work is and she mentioned doing bone work classes and omfg. omFG. i'm totally going back here for witch shit hahah]
and then... i saw the tarot. and immediately knew it was time. been passing up hundreds of tarot decks for years waiting on the right one and i laid eyes on the Animalis Os Fortuna deck and knew it was the one. it's beautiful and i can't wait to begin working with it. it's high time i had a proper tarot deck for myself. and this one just feels right. all animals and bones and spirits yes. i think Bird will really like it too especially some of the arcana imagery, damn. it really shook me up when i looked through the deck on the ride home. gonna be really good.
had to HIGHLY RESIST buying shitloads of everything rofl. so i just picked up that deck, some small spell candles [including GREY HOLY SHIT THEY SELL GREY??], a bloodstone and a single bobcat claw. i'll come back when i have some money to blow because right now i really don't lmfaooo.
but yeah. like. the air in that place was so fucking real it was amazing. you have your witchy shops and then you have places that make your skin tingle when you walk in the door. and you know. you just KNOW this place is legit. felt like coming home, a place of real knowledge, real craft. hell they talked about doing an ouija board session because she's got a 125 year old board and wants a group to use it. hell yeah. i'd do that. i don't really believe in ouija boards but A: i'm already experienced somewhat with being ridden by things? and B: i'm just here for any group activity with spirituality involved that might shake my shit up. yes. i wanna experience that. i'm not scurred.
augh i already want to go back and buy some of those things. those rusty nails for curse jars though. holy shit. [they had stuff like LOADS OF EMPTY BOTTLES IN SHELVES for you to buy... like... no this ain't some new age gift shop. this is a Witch Shit Store. and i'm in fucking love.] the GIANT CAULDRONS MADE OF /COPPER/ FOR CHRISSAKE... the coyote foot bones that were honestly a ridiculously high price. also the store owner knew about Lupa hell yeah!
so then we came home and bb made poundcake! and he was successful! :D it was nice. and i went to make food but kinda just... fell asleep... :v and woke up all in a startle like WOAH WHAT TIME IS IT thinking i was late for work. but i had another hour and a half left lol. ye
and now i have coffee and revisiting my day makes me feel good. the world is a good place. and i finally have a good story to offer although i'm sure it's nothing compared to what Bird is doing out there in the desert. but. yeah. i'm ready for the madness of saturday night at work. and just gonna drink coffee and wait [so not] patiently for the current highlight of my life to show up again. <3 <3
edit: HOW DID I NEGLECT TO MENTION the retro gaming store immediately next door to the fucking witchcraft supply store???? omg. i could not possibly buy anything there and it was... it had a little less soul than save point, bUT ALSO it was kind of more hidden. clearly. because FUCKIN... THEY HAD LITERALLY EVERY TITLE I NEED FOR MY GAMECUBE COLLECTION???? and i had no money to buy any of them goddamnit. the prices were a little higher than save point's too but some of their collection was better in certain ways. yas.
