The Journal of FreeDragon

  Good morning, my dears! Tomorrow is Beltaine! Today we have a waxing crescent moon in Gemini. It's a good time to focus on partnerships, business, and anything that you would like to grow. The picture above is my desk. I have been thinking of my desktop computer as a cauldron. I added a sticker to remind me to do a little magic before I use the computer. I chose this sticker because the star looks like the stars I make in my art, and I plan my life around moon phases and signs.  I am trying hard to get my life organized. I got one credit card paid off, and I plan to pay off the other next week. As I pay bills this month, I will set up automatic payments to the credit cards. This way, bills get paid on time with no more late fees. Every two weeks, on paydays, we will either pay off the cards, or pay most of balance. This will build credit without putting us in debt. It also gives us some leeway if we run short of money.  My garden is thriving. I have planted a lot of foo...

  I created the spell, I haven't activated it yet. A tesseract spell creates a time loop, so that the spell either happens between the worlds, OR, it happens repeatedly, over and over again. I picked the second option. I had already journaled some ideas. Today the moon is in Pisces, the house of dreams. I've had this dream for a while. This morning I wrote everything down. I wrote it on graph paper, one letter atop the last. This made a thick, black dot, making the spell unreadable. I am the only one who knows what it says. On the back of the paper, I drew a tesseract using different colored inks. Tesseracts are hard to draw because you are squaring a square, and while you could make a 3D model, it never looks right on paper. Long story short, I drew what I consider a reasonable diagram. I put my graph paper in the green box, then I put a dragon drawing over that. I use the dragon in my best possible outcome spell; the spell where I need everything to work out, but I have no id...

 These past few weeks have been stressful. I have not done any sewing or art. This saddens me. I think I should be busy making. I decided not to do the Kentuck Festival. Just the thought of packing up my wares and driving across the state wears on me. I decided I had enough stress. My adult son and his family still reside with us. They create a great deal of mess, but rarely clean up after themselves. It's making me angry and I am ready for them to move. They have a house, but it is being remodeled.  Another family has moved into my backyard. They live in a tent. They are too polite to ask for anything. They will silently suffer until one of us notices the problem and offers food or blankets or whatever they lack. This is also stressful because I want to help, but they don't seem inclined to do for themselves. Sometimes I find out they tried but failed. Sometimes I find out there's more than I realized. Then I feel badly. But I would rather they stay somewhere else. My traf...

 Libra rules balance, communication, and partnerships. I decided it was a great time to do a spell involving my home computer. I have been thinking of treating my computer as a cauldron of sorts, because I put things in like art and photos, which then get transformed into art, stickers, and social media posts. I have been doing alchemy for years unawares.  Step one is to clean the desk. My desk is near the front door and people tend to drop things here rather than  walk a few more steps. I never did put my notebooks back after the dummy failed to install my hard drive. When I moved these, intending to turn them spines out, I discovered vents on the tower that probably shouldn't be covered. Next, I started cleaning behind the computer.  This area is very dusty.  I found a flashlight that I didn't know about. At this point, I started thinking maybe I should clean the couch. It is against the back of my desk, and I want a clean place to rest so my work won't become...

 This morning I was watching the news. The story was about Dump's reactions to the weekend protests. He was golfing. Biggest protest in American history, and that orange turd was on his golf course. Anyway, he was clueless and said some unhinged things. Then the journalist started quoting other government officials. Those quotes got slowly more ridiculous, until I felt like I was watching a parody. Then I started questioning how reliable this journalist was, until I remembered I had already seen something similar from a different journalist.  Back in 2016/17, I got where I couldn't watch the news because it was too bizarre. I would wonder what the actual fuck I had just seen. I think people stopped making parodies because they didn't have to make things up anymore.  For a long time, I was just on survival mode. I couldn't comprehend how evil people are. I don't know how to explain to relatives and associates that it really is important to be a good person. I used to...

  Today was the craft fair I have been preparing for since February. To stand out from the crowd, I wore my dragon mask. It was a hit. I could have sold my mask 20 times. I was able to promote my Etsy shop, and I made a couple of sales. I may have found another venue for art.  The dragon mask had another benefit that I didn't realize until I had been at the fair for a while. Some people are offended by it. The ones who are offended stop and stare. Their eyes get really big, then they hurry past my booth. You may be wondering how that is a benefit. I did not encounter a single rude ass hat. They all hurried by. It was awesome.  Blessed be, my dears.

 I have been trying to remember what I was doing 14 years ago, since the eclipse ended and, then, Neptune entered Pisces. I think I started a new job back then, but it wasn't my dream job. Now Neptune has entered Aries.  Oddly enough, yesterday my husband asked me to take some business courses. He is thinking about going into business for himself, and wants me to be his office manager. I can do that. I don't mind. But it's not the job I want.  I have noticed over the years that I tend to start jobs in the spring, especially in April. When it's Aries season, I guess.  I haven't noticed when my husband typically starts new jobs, but while we were at the airport yesterday, the site manager asked my husband if he was interested in building a hanger and setting up a repair station. They are struggling to keep planes in the air because they don't have enough people. And then my husband asked if I would take the business courses, so obviously he is considering a hanger...
