    So you all know how I’ve been trying to win the lottery. I’ve been “sending out the desire” for more money and I’ve even had some of you kind folks sending out the good vibes for me.

    Well, I still haven’t won the lottery. lol

    BUT, the other day I received a check from my car insurance company reimbursing me for my deductible for the accident that I had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in December. So, it only took them seven months to settle all accounts. Is that normal? I don’t know. I’m happy to report that I’ve had very few car accidents. (knock on wood)

    So though I didn’t win the lottery, I did get back a fair chunk of change that I never expected to see again.

    All I can say is… keep sending the money vibes my way. My money luck seems to have turned around about a week ago when I found a silver quarter and added it to my little money worries box. I can only hope my gods and my friends have turned my luck around….

    hmmm, now I’m going to have to see about buying Ganesha some nice candies. I did say I would. Maybe some flowers too.





    July 17th


    This is the Japanese feast day of Amaterasu-O-Mi-Kami. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the first procession takes place. This is the Yamahoko-junko, which consists of twenty floats. When Emperor Seiwa of Japan successfully drove an epidemic out of the city of Kyoto in 869, the day was commemorated with a festival. He performed the fete by displaying sixty-six spears before his imperial shrine. Every year after, he paraded the spears through the streets in honor of the gods. This is continued in the Gion festival. The spears are carried in sapling topped shrines accompanied by dozens of musicians led by a boy dressed as a Shinto priest.



    The birth of Isis, wife of Osiris, child of Seb the earth god and Nut the sky goddess occurs on the 4th of the Epagomenal Days. She is the mother of Horus and an agricultural goddess identified with Demeter and associated with the seasonal rise of the Nile river which brought fertile soil up from the river’s bottom.
