The Happy Book

This week for The Happy Book Jamie wanted us to collect stars. Well I don't have magazines or anything like that to look to so instead I went through some of my photographs and found my favourite kind of stars. Stars that are in circles!

I found this pentacle after leaving my spirituality store on my walk along a horrid busy noisy street. I was amazed. It has probably been there a long time but this was the first time I had ever noticed it.



I found this pentacle amongst miserable graffiti on a bench. I had no idea it was there at first. I just sat down and all of a sudden it was there beside me. Again, magic amongst the worst of urban crap.

This means there is at least one of other magical person in my neighbourhood, trying to say, Suzie, you are not alone! There is magic here, you just got to ignore the ugliness.

Well I am not good at ignoring the truth but the cool thing is, the truth that there is another pagan in the 'hood somewhere who is trying to communicate with me makes me very happy.

Does this symbol frighten you? I hope not. To us pagans, it is a very comforting symbol. It took me a long time to get over the scary connotations society projects on to this symbol to scare us away from the power of magic but now I see it and smile. As long as the star is not upside down, this is a happy symbol. When it is upside down, someone is perverting it which is very bad.

So I only collected two stars in my neighbourhood but that is more than I thought I would find. I live in a very depressing neighbourhood where no one cares about nature at all. To find any hope amongst the graffiti or next to busy streets is something to celebrate.
