If ever I thought I was worthless, useless, an empty vessel to hold the blame of the world, I was ignorant.

In the shadow of others I did not realize I was outgrowing the limited social garden bed of my ‘friends’ and companions. Friends would be an overstatement and a title many of them have never and will never earn. As a Scorpio my trust is not easily gained, and one lost, it is gone forever. Something in me, though, always forgave, but kept the trespasses against my trust cataloged, loaded, waiting to fire across my synapses is self destruction.

If ever I took your interest as a sign of friendship, I was a fool. If ever I opened my heart to you, if ever I extended an almost maternal hand to you I was an idiot.

My body has been run ragged with its attempts at pleasing all and apologizing for its darker nature. My narcissism has become a survival mechanism that I once thought needed you.
My soul is weary of your needy hands, your open-bird mouth that I keep feeding more and more of my soul. Compassion has an end with me. In this game of survival, I will always be the fittest and you’ve stopped entertaining the animal within me.

I am worth so much more than being drained of my entirety. I am manifest energy as you are, as the earth is. Like the Earth my resources have been tapped and I can give no longer. Like the Earth I shall strike with ground shattering vengeance.

If ever I thought friendship was giving you everything for nothing in return, I was blind, for I am a Goddess as you are. I am a Goddess as you are a God, and your meager offerings of passing interest and constant need are insufficient. My inner patriarch has fed of your male-centric patterns of thought, and the women of my past lives are too loud in protest for this to continue.

I deserve much more than “friends” like you.

New altar to the Summer God which is channeling the element of Fire.

Fire represents destruction/reconstruction, sexual energy, cleansing, and forceful natures.

On my “offering plate” (my candle tile) there are:

• Basil Leaves— love, wealth, exorcism, and protection.
• Valerian Leaves— love, sleep, and purification.
• Snap-Dragon flowers— protection
• Dried Roses— protection, divination, healing, and love.
• Cedar wood— healing, purification, and wealth. 

I always build my altar with things from my garden that I feel I need to go there, then I research their meanings. Apparently, I needed elements of love, healing, wealth, and protection when channeling masculine energy. {:

My newly arranged masculine and feminine altars— can you guess which is which?

And so do pissed off gods of the underworld.
