    Over the past 26 years, as you know, I have been going
    over the same old ground a fair bit, which makes me
    feel like I am in the movie Groundhog Day. Hence I
    hope that my magickal workings will reach completion
    by dawn tomorrow (Feb. 2), or at the latest by early
    waxing crescent tomorrow evening.

    For my latest progress see recent and ongoing threads
    on alt.religion.druid.

    One major change is that I have renamed God to Goddess
    but still define her as the ruler of the region all/everything.
    I divine that she is bif to me, but that is not part of my
    definition of her.

    Happy Imbolc!!!

    Happy Imbolc!!!

    One related CD I have is “From Imbolc to Beltane”
    by Victoria. BC, Canada group The Ecclestons
    who I think consist of Colleen and Kelt Eccleston and
    one other person. I hope to play it later tonight,
    but my CD collection is disorganized at the moment
    so I might not be able to locate it.

    The CD is actually titled Imbolc to Beltane and the
    other person is Greg Madill. They have another
    CD called FIR n MNA, and Colleen has at least
    three solo recordings of her original songs, and
    she is my second-favourite BC songwriter (after
    Ferron) though Sarah McLachlan is my favourite
    BC singer and songwriter combined.

    And February 3 was the day that Bill Murray’s character
    reached release/redemption from the time loop, though
    it was probably after dawn.
