I am in a state of shock over the death of my friend. I have to do a Ancestor service on Sunday for Pagan Pride. I imagine that will be hard.

I will need to do a dedicated bunch of work, but this, this one is a bit hard to deal with. Really hard. If I could get a break, I would take it I think. I think I need to be on a beach for a while drinking mostly. Nothing in the world, nothing, is harder then being the psychopomp, the stand in for death .... for a beloved friend.

Nothing. Nothing is harder then descending with that person to the thresehold. Nothing. Anyone who is a real magician, or priest(ess) will say this is true. It has fucked me up to the core, and I am not sure how to recover.... nor how long it will take. Certainly, I have acted as a Psychopomp before, but not to someone who was essentially a sister.

Its not just grief either, I probably can't explain that....

If you know me in person, you should probably check up on me as much as possible over the next weeks.

I will post the funeral ritual for Melissa Delia on this site. Maybe some other magicians, in a similar situation can get some use out of the ritual which was Christian Neutral, yet very beautiful.

As Melissa said at the end Spider Out.

Winter comes, and not just cold.
