    Let Freedom Ring…

    Another interesting week is drawing to a quick close here. And of course, I missed out on some of the best excitement.

    In an interesting twist of events, the rotten downstairs neighbors are officially moved out as of tomorrow. I like to believe that perhaps a little magick helped, but they ultimately brought about their own demise.

    According to the landlord, while I was away this weekend there was an incident involving another neighbor in the small complex I live in. Our friendly, pothead, drunken hillbilly below had a few too many beers. While under the influence in the afternoon, he staggered out into the yard… wearing nothing but his birthday suit.

    Unfortunately, the other neighbor downstairs had his young daughter visiting him. She was mortified (as anyone would be who has been scarred with the vision of scrawny, naked, white trash) and told her father. While he is normally a very quiet, calm individual, he went berserk. The police were called. The landlord found 27 filed complaints against the yahoos downstairs. The uneducated streaker was immediately banned from the residence. His faithful, alcoholic, hilljack female companion couldn’t bare to be without him. So, they decided that in light of the circumstances (and their inability to pay this month’s rent), they would pack up and leave.

    Tomorrow, they remove the last of their belongings, haggle again about getting back their deposit, and disappear into the great Northfield abyss. A peaceful serenity will once more return to Sagamore Hills. Birds will sing. Children will roam free. Liberation will be a cause for celebration on Independence Day.

    Hopefully, their replacements will be more tolerable…

    The camping trip was an interesting experience, to say the least. Rest? Relaxation? Not such a strong possibility. In fact, last night I may have had a total of an hour of sleep. Between a dog and people talking and laughing until dawn, rest wasn’t an option.

    I felt relieved to take a shower today, took a brief nap, dealt with the insanity called my neighbors (they went so far as to slam their door so hard it shattered the glass), and overall have felt the stress level rise back to overflowing. At times, I wonder if Alice’s adventures in Wonderland were more sane than what seems to surround me on a daily basis.

    Otherwise, I was too tired to post this weekend’s entries, so I’ll save them for this coming week. For now, I’m burning some incense to attempt a calmer atmosphere… and looking forward to a nice, long sleep in a bed for the first time all weekend.

    A Bunch of Hocus Pocus…

    After yet another drunken tirade from the annoying woman downstairs stressing me out to no end, I was tempted to plot something sinister tonight. I know… I’m a terrible person for disliking someone and not finding any admirable qualities. But instead of doing something and tempting the Fates, I decided on reciting a little banishing chant I know from my college years delving into Wicca.

    And the entire time, I actually seemed cheerful about the politeness in my voice.

    I also did a little digging and found a few little spells (and wow, banishing oil is very easy to make!) which I probably won’t even touch. I realized it’s simply not worth the energy.

    My sidekick friend Evie mentioned weeks ago doing a little prosperity magick to attempt to bring money her way. I’ve never really been the sort to take classes for things of that nature, so I once again did a little digging.

    Lo and behold! I found some very insightful tidbits of information. And once again, I felt even better. The basic principles of bringing wealth and money to yourself spiritually aren’t very difficult. They simply require most of us to throw out our notions of money and it’s importance.

    For one, if you desire money, don’t react with disdain for those who have it. Admire them. Admit you wish to be like them. Then, realize that the more you concentrate on the lack of money in your own pocket, the more you push it away. Negativity does not attract! And finally, understand that everything in the world recycles. What you give you will receive… just try to have a little patience with it.

    I know. All this mentioning of spells may sound a bit nutty to some of you. If you wish to believe that such notions simply involve the subconscious mind and that we all bring about our own changes without realizing it, do so. Yet I have had a few odd “accidents” involving spells which proved them to possibly work.

    Then again, isn’t anything that doesn’t cause any damage worth a try?
