Pinch Punch The First Of The Month

Woke up to sunlight this morning, Spring has arrived 20 days ahead of the Equinox. Everything changes when the sun comes out.

I had to run to Marks & Spencer to buy fruit, I had a major craving for fruit salad which is just so much better for me than my winter cravings for mash potatoes with extra butter.

Our Promise Is Freedom Our Message Is Hope

The new monthly horoscopes are published today. Hurray

Feel the fear and buy it anyway

I am going home. I just bought a ticket back to Miami. It's Hurricane season out there so it should be interesting. It's raining here all the time anyway and we don't have the luxury of 90 degree sunshine right afterwards to burn it off.

The last thing I said to you was don't leave me

The dog appeared this morning in a picture I took of Dr John Dee's skrying mirror at The British Museum.

Heavenly Husbands

No I have not taken leave of my senses. I have been reading an article called Heavenly Husbands written by a woman called Ida Craddock . She was a Victorian feminist who focused on sexual liberation for women. Ulitmatley she was persecuted, placed in a mental hospital and imprisoned for her endeavours. She committed suicide to avoid serving a 5 year prison sentence she was given when found guilty of distributing 'obscene literature' in the form of booklets that advised newly wed couples on how best to enjoy the sexual aspect of married life.

What was even more interesting was that much of what she knew about sex came from the teachings of an Angelic lover who was her heavenly husband. She was known to have had sexual relations with a couple of mortal men but cited her real teacher and liberator to be an Angel in male form who came to her at night.

Within the text that I was reading was a really interesting suggestion that religious criticism of women who wear makeup and dress in a sexually attractive way was not based solely around the 'temptation' of men but infact the real issue was the 'temptation' of Angels.

St James Park

Took the dog to St James Park this morning. There are security blocks being set up all over the place in time for the royal wedding. They should just go to Las Vegas like I did, why inconvenience everyone else with your personal life?  I saw two Magpies this morning - 2 for joy - hurray. I read my horoscope every day and then I check the lunar calendar, then I count Magpies in the park. Its my 3 fold security system.
