Last night my coven and I decided to not hold our usual Dark Moon ritual, but I held one for myself (greatly modified from the original, which is loosely based on Timothy Roderick’s Dark Moon Mysteries).

Joel Rubuchon: A Once in a Lifetime Meal
“Winner of Michelin’s Three Star, Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five Diamond, and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award, Joël Robuchon has redefined Las Vegas fine dining.” Yes. We knew this was going to be a special occasion, a once in a lifetime meal, and we were not disappointed.
Entering, we were struck by the opulence of their version of a French Country manor. Velvet covered chairs and lounges in deep jewel tones of purple and blue, with white and silver furniture, overhead a huge crystal chandelier sparkled.

Signal Boost: Tarot Reading
One item donated to help my friend’s financial situation* was a tarot reading by Melissa Tarot.
Melissa Tarot has been doing tarot and palm readings for 22 years. She lives in the St. Louis area with her family and friends, and has been described as a ‘feminist, hippie, Pagan wackadoo’ – a title she bears proudly. Melissa has been on Sirius Radio and often works with Catherine Chapman of www.tarotelements.com. Melissa’s Tarot Readings – I already know you want one.
Melissa writes: “My philosophy on tarot is that the cards do not reveal information that you do not already know (even if only on an unconscious level). I use tarot as a tool to tap the subconscious — your inner self, to reveal hidden knowledge, passions, fears, hopes, goals and dreams on the verge of fulfillment.
By asking for a reading from me you understand that I will abide by my own personal reading philosophy and no others.
I prefer to read in person or over the phone or via chat through Skype or google chat. By winning this auction you will be given contact information to call or email to arrange an appointment for a reading.”
A typical reading is $45 for 30 to 45 minutes.
The item is listed on eBay for a starting price of $0.50 — please boost this signal and let people know that this BARGAIN is available and for a good cause.
thanks!

Imagine having to spend $50,000 to keep your loved one safe from harm. My friend is having to do that after discovering that his ex-wife remarried a man who is a registered sex offender. He’s been to court three times this year to gain and keep custody of his seven year old daughter. If he loses, his daughter will spend time living in a home with a man who is a — let me say it again — registered sex offender.
A group of us are getting together and auctioning off items to raise money to help pay his legal bills. This is one such item.
Let me catch you up . . .
(warning: long post)
This is one of thew few times I wish WordPress had a /cut/ feature like they do over at LiveJournal. Oh well, you’ll just have to keep reading now, won’t you? Go ahead, get a cold drink, or warm one, depending on where you are. Maybe have a good *cough* pee while you’re up.
Comfy?
I owe y’all . . .
