*Sob* Libera me ludô!

[Earthsprite]

School takes up all my time, and when I do have time I just want to relax/hang around. I have no time for spiritual growth. I always have to wait till summer. :(

Say goodbye to Samhain, it'll come and pass, and I won't have done anything for it.


Lībera mē! Lūdô mē lībera! Ubine es mē fidēs?

Huh? Spiritual growth doesn't necessarily mean you have to hold rituals for every holiday. Do you have time to sit down and write a poem to commemorate the occasion? Then you have time to grow spiritually.

Growth is a process, not an event.

Oh, that's not what I meant! But yes, I don't have time for rituals OR for writing poems, drawing, meditating, etc.

If you were wondering, hehe, that last part was in latin. Can anyone here translate it? That would be nice to see some latin-learned pagans!

L?bera m?! L?dô m? l?bera! Ubine es m? fid?s?..

Freedom my soul freedom! Until what is the end?

THere, I have a feeling I'm off, but like I said, it's been a while since I've had to speak or write latin...

Especially since I had to learn Arcadian... Oh well, PM to tell me if I was close or not.. ;)

I forgot to tell you something that I did when my schedule got so hectic I couldn't do anything. When I woke up in the morning, I recongized the day it was, and no "It's thursday" recognize. (or whatever day of the week it is) If it is a holiday important to your path, recognize it.

Then through the day, there are always a few seconds(or minutes) you are stuck doing something that doesn't require your full concentration.

Like when you take a ashower in the morning(or evening), you have a few minutes to think up a small poem or prayer specifically for that day. And, if you are involved in band(it works for sports to) during warm ups, you can work on the prayer more, or come up with a few more new ones.

I hope that helps,

Hmm, interesting ideas, thanks.

The actual translation is:

Free me! Free me from school! Where is my faith?

[Tiana_Ecarias]

Well I'm glad to have helped, and I guess my latin isn't AS rusty as I thought, wich is nice to know... :D ;)

Hey, I know this is random, but have you read the Myst series? I recognize part of your name. 'Tiana' is one of the main characters in 'Myst: the Book of Ti'ana'.

And also on a random note!:

The Rangers Association 'attacking' rumor is a hoax! The Rangers Association is a pagan group that watches for Christian attackers.

[Tiana_Ecarias]

Well, yes I have read the series, but my name didn't come from there.

My name came from my friends, in an old language, it stand for "petite feisty bitch", and that's what I am. (Beautiful Intelligent Taltented Charming & Honorable BITCH)

ANyways, the name stuck, and Ecarias mean eternal life, in the same language, so that's how my nam,e came about here.

very cool!

My name is 'blah' compared to yours, heheh.

Maybe you have some advice on magickal names (not net names)?

It's been 2 years, and I still haven't 'found' the right name. Is there some way to kind of 'push' it along and show itself to me?

I've also looked around alot, but nothing seems like me. I identify alot with my real name, although there are thousands upon thousands of others with it. If I could just find a name that meant ME, not anyone else.
