My Dad is great. Not perfect, but great.

For one thing, he’s an atheist who doesn’t have a problem with my being a witch. He’s even asked for reading material so he can understand my POV better, and he was one of my readers for Magickal Connections (which he liked very much).

For my birthday this year he gave me a Cuisinart food processor. (Yes, I open presents as they arrive instead of waiting for the actual day. Sue me.) With it came a note:

Imagine that the past year is going into the blades when you use this for the first time.

Is that a perfect piece of magick or what?

Ace of Pentacles.

Aces are always about beginnings. New, prosperous, ventures. Gardening. “Enter the garden.” Practical. Abundance. Security. Dreams becoming reality.

Queen of Pentacles

A generous, earthy woman who wants to do good things for others. She is nuturing and big-hearted (has a hard time saying ‘no’). Resourceful and trustworthy.
