I got a bad cut on my brow last weekend, which required some stiches. That evening, after doing some Reiki on it, I tried 'pulling' some of the pain out. I have done this many times for Athena in the past, and she has told me that it can be painful to do but that it does help. This is the first time, however, that I have ever had occasion to do it to myself. OUCH! It hurt a LOT! Athena wasn't exaggerating! :D I was not able to do any more, because it hurt to much.
Since then I have been more careful when I pull pain for Athena or for T-Man. I take some time first to loosen the pain up, and only draw off what will come easily, rather than trying to grab and pull out whatever I can. Athena says this is feels much better, and T-Man was much happier with it too.
Oh, well, one lives and learns. I am glad that I can do it in a way that is more comfortable to others, now.

Circle of healing for T-Man
Athena's horse T-Man is on stall rest now, after getting a cracked pelvis and a big hematoma. We converted the run-in shed in his pasture into a stall, so he can see his girls and not get too lonely, since he may be there for several months.
I have been doing Reiki on him every day, to try and help him heal well and faster. I also put protections on his stall. I had done something similar with my wife's mare Dear One, when she was doing poorly, with assistance from Spider and Oak. This was a somewhat different situation, since I was less concerned with keeping out bad influences than in concentrating beneficial ones. Athena had also gotten me a new rattle, which I used for the first time. It is a beautiful Raku rattle, with lovely iridescent copper-matte glaze, about the size of my palm. It is decorated with some tiny colored raku beads strung on rawhide. It has a rich, soft, earthy sound.
I started at the corner post at the gate entrance, and opened up to the energy, and called for help and assistance from Spider, Oak, Swallow, the Green Man, and any other benevolent forces that could aid me. The response was positive but sluggish, so I tried using the rattle to aid in the calling, shaking it my hand in three groups of three while calling. I got a much stronger response, including energy from the Green Man and from the Indian spirit teacher who has danced with me recently. Together, we sank an energy well at the corner post, and drew up a column of strong, warm energy into the post. I started around the stall clockwise (sunward), shaking the rattle gently and drawing a thick rope of vibrant energy around to the next post; where we again sank another well, anchoring the rope and starting a new one. I continued around the stall until I returned to my starting point and anchored it again at the post. This left the stall guarded by four columns of rich earth-sky energy at the four corners, surrounded by a thick warm circle of energy that draw in blessings and healing power. I thanked all who helped me, and left knowing that T-Man was well protected.

Dream resolutions
New Years resolutions seem so trite in the real world. Instead, here are my New Years resolutions for my dreams:
After building the perfect city (golden stucco, red tile roofs, balconies and merchants wagons hung with multicolored lanterns and bougainvilleas…) go on a long trip and let the people redecorate.
When escaping the nameless horror to the protection of the sacred circle, invite everyone you see, not just the nice kids with the puppy. Bad guys won't be able to cross the running water anyway, and the obnoxious guy at the minimart has secret strengths too.
Read the signs. They will be important later.
Greet every being you meet with respect. A kind word to the worm may gain you the protection of the mountain.
When being chased through a high-rise office building, don't bother looking for the stairs. Find a window and fly away.
Don't boast of your powers, they are gifts that can be revoked.
Always tell Hercule Poirot everything. Same with Dr Who.

Nor is aught that goes on two legs...
Christmas morning, I stopped at the oak tree in my front yard, put my hand on the trunk, and wished it Merry Christmas. It rattled its leaves cheerfully at me and wish me the blessings of the season. :) I remarked on the unusually warm day, and it said yes, but it won't last! The next morning it was freezing cold. Trees are not omnicient, but what they know, they know!
