WARNING (FOR REAL THIS TIME)
I know it’s taken me for-fucking-ever to write about the ritual dismemberment of my crows, but I felt it was V. important to get people acquainted with what I’m doing before waving anatomically graphic photos around. Now that I’ve had a chance to explain my recent experiences (and all of the fears, worries and concerns that went with them) I hope you guys can sort’ve see...

Excerpt from my journal entry DEEMED WORTHY:
When I finally severed its head from its body fresh, uncoagulated blood trickled from the decapitated bird and thickly pooled at the tips of my toes as if its heart had only just stopped beating. A gift. A truce. Acknowledgement that I had walked through fire and stayed on course, that even if I didn’t follow them into death I sacrificed enough...

When you don’t rely on a handbook and compass it’s sometimes hard to know if you’re on the right track. No one’s left a reference book for you at the crossroads, so when you wander down the perpendicular lane to the eternal line cutting through your path it’s just you, wilderness and your gut. Guidance and confirmation comes from hours-days-weeks of patiently watching...

Walked down to the cemetery. Ate wild cherries. Watched a raptor hunt. Passed between barbed wire fences. Waded through overgrown pastureland. Had sex in the ruined church. Freed the wild gooseberry bush. Wandered down a shady lane to the local kirkyard. Knocked on A.S.’s “grave”. Sat with the graveyard rabbits. Watched Italics take pictures of graveyard rabbits. Watched families...

DON'T LET ME FORGET, DAMMIT.
You guys, don’t let me forget that I need to bury the bottle of beech gin we made in May at the two graveyards before Winter, okay? It’s nearly August and I STILL haven’t done it.

WARNING.
Just a friendly warning that in the next day or two I’ll be posting photos of yesterday’s ritual dismemberment of four roadkill (well, two appeared to have died of natural causes so they aren’t technically “roadkill”) crows.
Followers with a sensitive disposition may want to unfollow and refollow; I totally understand that not everyone has the stomach for my...

RE: Happy Paper
ohiowitch replied to your post: Ack! Hope you and Italics recover soon.
Oh, man, honey, you and me both. I stupidly fell face first into a bunch of food yesterday (after not eating for nearly 24 hours) and I probably could’ve done without the fortune cookies, steak, tortilla chips and vanilla ice cream (with added Reese’s Pieces). I guess I’m just sticking to toast and homemade...
