Property of a Lady

Deborah Lipp goes on about Wicca, politics, movies, Paganism, and cats. Not necessarily in that order.

Undoubtedly, you’re expecting your New Year’s Eve meditation to have a New Year theme. But I’m just not going there. I don’t know what happened this year and what happened last year. Ask me what I did in ‘06 and I might well tell you something I did in ‘04. The past is a blurry place, and I have no idea why it’s important to know a number. It’s just a number.

Here’s what I’ve been meditating on today (follow along at home):

In Wicca, on the darkest night of the year, we do a ritual about light.

On the brightest day of the year, we do a ritual about darkness.

Everything contains its opposite.

The dot in the yin yang is the sun on Winter Solstice, light in darkness.

Perhaps the light is in darkness because we need hope. Perhaps the darkness is in light because that’s when we can best face it.

Today, meditate on opposites, on light in the darkness, darkness in the light, and your own personal yin-yang.

Good job, everyone! This week, every movie was figured out, with only one hint.

“Could you bring up the Joy? I want to wash my drum.”

Okay, this is an hysterical sentence. It is made funnier if you hear it, because then you hear “joy” instead of “Joy.” Adding to the fun, the second sentence was what I said by way of explanation when Arthur laughed at the first sentence. Just made it weirder.
