Fear Sage Jimmi Lightwatcher Mon Jul 5 05:47:36 1999 Bright blessings to all and sundry,*br* I have the simple fear of solitude and I am trying to fix this during my final photography assignment. This assignment involves me, a citybound, feral returning to my true element (the beautiful alpine environs of Mount Field in southern Tasmania) and spending five days taking black and whites of the said environs around the National park.*br* I also have with myself my altar staff, that luckily has been carved out of blackwood with runes of protection inlayed in silver, plus also two runes of travel and distance inlayed in gold leaf. This staff also has a large, fractured smokey quartz crystal (it's about seven centemeters in length) set into it's top and a small steel band with brass nails securing the said band to the base. I was just wondering if there was any suitable blessing anyone knew to bless this staff as I will be taking components up with me to aide in my solitude and I have decided that this is the best environ to sanctify my staff. I have read the Magica Mistica but to bless my staff this method just seemed a little anally retentive. *br* So If there is anyone out there who could help me with my first and second problems I would really be very very happy.*br* Also if Searles or Deborah is reading this I have contacted your sign-up twice now and my password continually gets rejected, maybe because it's me being rejected who knows, but I am very serious about learing more about 'The Great Hunter & The Earth Mother'*p* Anyway Bright moot and merry blessings,*p* Sage Jimmi Lightwatcher
