(he's inside the black velveteen bag in one of my corked jars specially blessed for this work. left open to the air of the most recent Flea market held at his club, so not only his ashes entered the jar but some ambient spirit as well got sealed in)
thus is the start of my next ritual work, and please feel free to follow along as there will be updates along the way. Butt.. we have endeavored to take on a new memorial glass commission. For me, this is not just a simple crafting of artwork, but a spiritual and magical working of the highest order, one of our most sacred tasks, blessing our honored dead. And his ashes arrived, now in my possession, shall live in the midst of my altar, dancing with my ancestors, friends, pets and family that have also passed from this plane, until a day arrives this coming fall when we'll ignite the elements around, forge us into something new, together. and we do this
"with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is the promise of a flower. And within each death, no matter how big or small, there's always a new life. A new beginning. Amen"
