Imbolc Waning Bridgit Moon
Sheepshead tonight. I took in honey for Ed, Dick, Roy and Bill plus honeycake that Kate made from our honey. Artemis Hives honors the ancient Greek Goddess of the hunt who also had honeybees within her domain. Worshippers took to her altar honeycake as an offering. My original idea was to call Artemis honey, “The honeycake honey” and include honeycake recipe and a bit about Artemis with each sale. Might still happen, some year.
The card gods were good to me tonight, again. They gave me three good hands when I dealt, a good position when playing sheepshead. Ed and Bill both spoke about their wives with Bill reporting the good news that Regina’s cancer score has already begun to trend down after only a brief time on the hormone therapy. That’s the kind of news it’s good to hear.
Ed’s wife has challenges surrounding a knee replacement gone bad compounded by her other health related issues. She’s in a transitional living facility right now while they try to calm her body down.
As life goes on, I appreciate more and more the precious nature of the relationships I have at this sheepshead table, at the Museum, among the Sierra Club folks and the Woolly Mammoths. Each place enriches me and gives me a place to just be, be who I am. What a gift.
So, good night to you and to Artemis Hives matron Goddess.
