Things to remember from ritual

[triadruid]

1. Rather than take on any more oaths I can't be sure that I'll meet, I decided to give up something in the sacrifical portion: "I give up the safety of fear."
   
2. Pomegranate seeds taken from the bowl: 7 1/2. If the myth about 1 seed = 1 month works out to be true, that means my goal will come to fruition in mid-June, 2008.
   
   ::edit:: Appending said oaths (none yet achieved) here rather than in my profile:
   An oath to finish decorating/carving "Dagda's Club", made I believe on Lughnassadh or Samhain 2004.
   "I vow to speak no word that is not true." -- 08/22/2004
   Superseded by:
   An oath made to Oghma, to uphold Truth as a Virtue, or sacrifice the equivalent of three handworked leather disks if I fail to do so. -- 12/21/2004
   An oath made to Lugh, to uphold Dignity of self and others, or sacrifice the equivalent of nine handworked leather disks if I fail to do so. -- 12/21/2004
   An oath to begin (again) in earnest on my Dedicant's program, during the time I have off from Ritual Teams this summer. --04/17/2005
   A promise to learn, and integrate into my life, the Song of Amergin. -- 04/30/2006

what myth would that be??

In most versions of the Persephone myth, the number of pomegranate seeds she ate corresponds to the number of months she must spend with Hades each year.
