Finding my way back

Hello,

MIA here. The strep throat knocked me off my socks and then I got "surprise" visitors for several days. I am going to spend the rest of today reading through everything and try to get a little bit caught up with you all.

hugs,
Bobbi

A message home

A message via raven post.
Was having a wonderful time,
Baba Yaga is a slave driver.
I have worked my fingers to
the bone. I managed to sneak
out to the bath house, where
Mme Eclectica prepared a
rosemary bath for me. I would
highly recommend it if you get
the chance. Talk to you all soon.

Word from The Road



To All My Friends Back Home,

I'm on my way to the House of Baba Yaga...or the House of Bones as I've been calling it. This is my first stop, it's a house in the middle of the Desert outside of town called Cavern. Isn't that a weird name?

The locals tell me it was built by a Devil. Not THE devil...but "a Devil". They seem to take some weird sort of comfort in that.

I'll be in touch soon,
Anita Marie

New Face - Hermitage Postcard

Travellers all, thought you might like a picture postcard
of a new face spotted at the Hermitage....Imogen Crest, Hermit.

To: Ebony Wilder--Lemurian Abbey

Dear Ebony,

I wish I could say I'm having a wonderful time on this tour but, believe me, it's been difficult to say the least.

I've just gotten over worrying about Baba Yaga and now there are rumors that Koshchey the Deathless is after us. I'm so glad I didn't bring Oreo and Tookey, but I miss them terribly. Please look in on them and reassure them that I'll be coming back. Oh, I hope I'll be coming back--Koshchey is supposed to come as a whirlwind and there's something strange in the air tonight, I can feel it. I'm going to close the windows after I write this.

Take care of my sweet pets, please. That sound, I wonder if the others can hear it--it's like a wail, a shreek in the wind---------I've got to close that window.

Too late. Noooo!

Resting Before the Feast

I'm resting before the feast, which I know will be an exciting affair.

I'm looking forward to celebrating with the serpents. They are, you know, special creatures and were held in high regard in the Goddess Realms.

When I lived in Eastern Oregon, this is a number of years ago now. I spent many pleasurable hours working as a docent at a local Natural museum. I worked with raptors first, learned how to handle them and, later, taught visitors about the magnificence of these regal birds. The experience was thrilling, for me, it was a dream come true.

Later, I moved on to work with snakes and found that experience to be was mysteriously spiritual. Could it be because of their connection to the Goddess? There are some creatures that identify with the soul, raptors, ravens, and serpents fall into that category. The fact that I have had close-up encounters with those creatures has expanded my horizons. Raptors are regal, ravens of course are shape changers, messengers of the Goddess. But there is something about serpents that is beyond the obvious.

When I was handling snakes and stepped forward to show them off, it seemed most adults took a step back backward. Most of the children crowded closer. Some, mostly little girls, didn't want to touch the reptile because they had been taught that they were slimy and cold. By the end of the session, I was able to prove to most of them how wrong they were. Tentative stroking of a snake opened little eyes in wonderment. I like to think that those children grew up to be caring humans, beings that respected all creatures, be they crawlers, flyers, swimmers, or runners.

Well, I've rambled on long enough. I must go now and prepare for the feast.
