Tomato plant volunteers (Garden update)

Let it be known that I am not going to be suffering from a lack of tomatoes this harvest season. 

Center box is all tomatoes.
The pit has been taken over by three tomato plants.

This spring, due to having to buy a new car for Khari, our garden was put on "no budget."

As in everything that is growing this year is from Gifts, or Wildcrafted Seeds, or the mere three seed packets that Khari brought in Nebraska. I am not sure what basket to put my tomatoes in: Gift or Wildcraft. Thanks to what type of tomatoes that came up, I know exactly where some of them came from.

Cherry tomatoes, I buy them.

If the plants were all cherry tomatoes, then I would say that all my volunteer tomato plants that started to grow in our compost pit which we transplanted were the product of our own household. 

What? Ordinary garden tomatoes?!?

Plum tomatoes? Wait a minute.

But thanks to the presence of ordinary garden tomatoes and the plum variety, plus the timing of when the plants sprouted, I know that these plants came from the "health department would frown on those" tomatoes that we were given at the first open event this year by our "arrived at the last second" guest. 

The same person that last year, I was looking up Talmud reasons not to accept food from her. She feels obligated to give us help, failing to realize that none of the food that she gets from the food bank we can use. She really does not understand my wife's gluten free, soy free diet requirements. 

And to be clear, me and Khari are so much better off than this woman. 

But yeah, it seems that I am accepting help from this crazy woman (personal space issues, heaven forbid she learn my erotica best seller, etc.), after all. The tomatoes that she gave us, at the first event, had spots of mold, so I dumped them in the compost pit. They got turned in. Shortly, thereafter we had tomatoes and catnip (the other plant debris that I had dumped in). We transplanted the tomatoes into the vacant middle garden box.

Having not a clue what variety we were transplanting. 

Khari thought that it was from earlier. I suspected (ok, dreaded) it was from Does Not Respect Personal Space. I guess that the goddess really wants me to accept aid from this woman. 

Sigh.

Year into blog relaunch (Grapevine and mental health update)

Image
 Given my multiple month silence on this blog, and its recent birthday, let's do a status update. Khari's Garden with a little grape vine. We are still doing the Garden Parties. Because Khari gets bored without friends and company around. The same reason that she is polyamourous---and I am not. All my events have been killed, and with good reason . . . a colon test came back bad, so I have a physical health problem on top of the mental ones. Oh, and me blogging about my secret Mormon daughter and wife for the first time in 22 years was me being Paranoid Delusional, according to a newly minted medical doctor who never saw me before, who checked with other expert, who did not speak to me. Took me off the majority of my meds (bipolar and anxiety/panic) and put me on an anti-psychotic that crashed a brick through my sphere of sensation. The proof that I was delusional was that Khari could not verify that my daughter, Zee, existed. Because I had never talked to her, or anyone, about...

Why I got kicked out of Golden Dawn and Thelema (Go look for a better ceremonial magick teacher)

Image
Given my experience as a lodge officer and student of the Hermetic Golden Dawn and its offshoots, occasionally I need to explain (if only to remind myself) why I am not allowed to teach and lead in GD.  A who's who of the Golden Dawn community. I was not selected by a lodge to be a leader, or teacher. No, I accidentally declared myself one when attending my first Open Full Moon in fall 1996. Finding myself in the presence of a hundred-plus Denver witches, all who seemed to be experts in some esoteric field or another, I introduced myself with the only thing that I felt confident in discussing: Hermetic Golden Dawn, Thelema, and Aliester Crowley. It was either that, or talk about being an erotica author, right? Everyone who heard that initial introduction of mine, which included the mention that I was a published writer, no one ever allowed me to move past, or forget that intro. I got rewarded, or punished for it, depending upon the ego of the occultist. A couple of shop owners used...

Building a godform creation guidebook (How my Golden Dawn study night went)

Image
 After the drama of multiple schedule, "It's on--it's off because Khari's a fickle artist," one might be interested in how my scheduled Golden Dawn study night went off. Or not.  Pretend to be as interested as this chick here. Could it be godform coloring night? First, let me get my grief about the event scheduling out of the way. I wanted a regular schedule, and Khari's an artist with an health condition who wants to be able to "on-and-off" her event as she wishes. Therefore, there is no long term advertising, just short. Not exactly how my style of marketing works. The few people on my level Hermetic Golden Dawn, or working Thelema, in the Denver, Colorado area is rare; and my joke about my most interested reader being an FBI agent, reporting to the President, could be a sad truth (occult writers profiting from black magick books are considered to be a threat according to some police departments--more so than the death threats that the author is ge...
