Dear Everyone
My parents returned home from three weeks of fun in New Zealand. I missed them but had a good time with my host family who I rent a room from anyways. We went to see Much Ado About Nothing and also had a nice Easter since they are Christian (I got lots of candy heehee). Anyhow my birth parents are home and we had a nice meeting with my shrink to catch up on news.
They gave me a Koru (a bone carving of the Maori tribe symbolizing rebirth and prosperity and good luck). I also bought The Who in concert Live in Boston on Monday when I went to work. I had a good day at work. There was plenty to do.
I actually did the four main rituals I try to do every day for the first time in a while. They are: 1)sending Reiki energy, 2)The Qabalistic Cross, 3) The chakra meditation, 4)The Gaia meditation. I need to do an altar devotional too each week from Christopher Penzak's book The Temple of Outer Witchcraft. I am a big fan of his and have The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft and The Temple of High Magick, as well as Gay Witchcraft and The WItches Sheild.
I usually try and dance to get in touch with my totem animals during the waning moon and do rituals to get in touch with the gods and dragons during the waxing moon. I am a big fan of DJ Conway's as well and have Dancing With Dragons as well as Mystical Dragon Magick. I am a self-initiated Dragon Enchanter but I know it takes a lot of years to be a real one so I am pacing myself. I have so much I want to learn it sometimes can be overwhelming, since I am also a part of The Grey School of Witchcraft and Wizardry which is an online Hogwarts.
Besides that I have been recording music and writing a lot so I have been busy. Today is my official day that I celebrate five years of sobriety. Wish me luck in the coming year! I will just keep practicing the steps as honestly and regularly as I know how.

Blessed Be
Dylan

Dear Everyone
I've had a great week so far. The weekend was boring because of the weather and not being able to get out. Plus I wasn't good at planning ahead so I could get together with friends, except my friend Rob whom I got together with on Saturday. We watched the concert I had bought of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Then we watched part of his Megadeth's concert on DVD. The Red Hot Chili Peppers concert is called Off The Map. They are talented and sexy! I would love to have sex with all of them lol (Red Hot Chili Peppers).
I've been bad about doing my spiritual routine except for the chakra meditation kit and the Gaia meditation from The Companion To The Grimoire. I also need to start sending Reiki energy again since I haven't done that for awhile or practice The Qabalistic Cross from The Temple of High Magick. I did it today however. I love being pagan! I am looking forward to the New Moon celebration on the 6th.
I helped set up the AA meeting this morning and had a good meeting too. I will be celebrating five years next week (actually the official date is tomorrow but since the meeting is Tuesday it's on the 8th. I love AA! Thanks to all your support in helping me stay sober.
Today I watched the rest of U2 Popmart and also Phish Live in Brooklyn. Then I finished Depeche Mode in concert as well. I have quite a few awesome concerts on DVD now which is great. I want to buy Ani Difranco in concert Live at Babeville next. It just came out!

Love
Dylan
