When he caught sight of her he smiled and thought “absolutely the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen” at her.
#The chalice and the blade goodreads how to
Wow, this Sheriff sure knew how to do things right!The receptionist waved them on in and Eric was standing there by the Sheriff watching the door. When she was ready they went into the Sheriff’s office where the lights were low and soft music was playing in the background. She would most definitely be the most beautiful woman anywhere they went tonight. They got to the office with just enough time for her to change so she dragged Pam up to the washroom so she could help her into her dress. Now that I know what it is I can control it.” They put it all away and laughed about it, knowing she would warn them if they were in danger. They all three pulled out knives and Sookie also brought out some silver jewelry that she carried for her own protection if she should be alone for some reason. “Who’s got the hidden silver? It’s burning my nose, bring it out so I can see it.” The first pledging had not been her idea and she hadn’t liked the high-handed way he had gone about it even if it had been for her protection. They were both fine so they loaded into the car and were off to get repledged. “Pam brought me a glass when I woke up so I should at least be able to make it to the Sheriff’s office before I need more. “Are we ready ladies? We’ve got time to stop for take out if we leave now.” Eric was already waiting for them in the living room. She put her gown in a garment bag and grabbed a jeweler’s box and put it in her purse. When all was said and done she looked gorgeous with her hair in soft ringlets around her face and loosely braided down her back. Pam was there in a flash with hair dryer, curling iron and make-up case in hand. “Okay Pam, I’m ready for hair and make up!” “That’s fine,” she finished her blood and got in the shower and took a few minutes for the hot water to warm her and calm her before she washed the previous night’s activities from her body. Do you want to wear street clothes so your dress doesn’t get wrinkled and so Eric can be surprised when he sees you? That’s my recommendation any way.” “You know how long it takes to drive to the Sheriff’s office, even with lead foot driving, so we don’t really have that much time. I’ve still got time, let me get my bearings first, yeesh!” Timeless mystery, quiet conscience, Deepest values, voice inside.The next night Pam was waiting for her when she rose with blood in hand and the shower already running.

Lover Spirit, intuition In the centre of our souls In your love we find relation. Mist and ice, a host of changes: All that courage will allow With the cup, the holy chalice, West we ask you: be here now. Drink we now and quench our thirsting Cleanse us, we begin again. Sister Water, ever flowing Ocean, river, pond and rain. With the wand, directing power, South we ask you: be here now. Flaming candle, blood within us, Blazing desert, will to grow. In our hearths, your warmth revives us, Cooks our food and heats our homes. Brother Fire, great transformer, Share the passion of the sun. With the blade as sharp as morning, East we ask you: be here now. Raging whirlwind, whispered breezes, Violent gale and gentle cloud. Father Air, your inspiration Holds together all that lives As we breathe, our minds see clearly, Leading us to love and give. With the pendant, deep as midnight, North we ask you: be here now. Herbs to heal us, plants to feed us, Land to till and tend and plow. Mother Earth, Beloved Garden Mother Earth, beloved garden Living treasure under foot, All our days you ground our being: Sage and thistle, grass and root. I think this church is going to be a good fit.

(The lyrics are below.) But when we sang it, I noticed that the song wasn’t just Pagan. And before the service begun, I briefly glanced at the song printouts and noticed one song was distinctly Pagan, due to addressing the 5 elements of earth, air, fire, water and spirit. And as I had been doing the past few weeks, I asked around to see if there might be any parishioners interested in opening a CUUPs (Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans) chapter at the church. I attended my local UU church’s outdoor service/picnic today, held in a pavilion next to the beach.
