Maybe it's time to go a little bit crazy...


Never take anything seriously, you never get hurt. Never get hurt, you can always have fun. And if you ever get lonely, you just go to the record store and visit all your friends.

If Candlemas day be cloudy and grey, Winter soon will pass away.

Happy Imbolc, everyone! My walk to work was overcast and windy so that means winter is almost over.

I have always loved Groundhog Day, but this is the first year that I’m celebrating it like a Panthiest! I’m still stuck at work, but when I get home I’ll be lighting some candles/incense and eating some spicy Mexican food!

Then it’s time to clean my room… :P

Pictish Pagan Roots
Bruide, the Pictish royal throne name, is said to derived from the Pagan Goddess Brigid. The Bruide name was given to each Pagan Pictish king who was viewed as the male manifestation of the spirit of the Goddess. The most sacred place of the Picts was Abernethy in Fife. It was dedicated to Brigid, in Pagan times, and to St. Brigid, in Christian times. Columban monks tended a Celtic abbey there and hereditary abbots were of the Earl of Fife branch of the Clan MacDuff, which survived to the present day as Clan Wemyss (Weems).

Irish Transitions and Traditions
When Ireland was Christianized, veneration of the Pagan Goddess Brigid was transformed into that of St. Brigit, said to be the human daughter of a Druid. St. Brigit became a saint after her “death” and was supposedly converted and baptized by St. Patrick. Pagan lore was incorporated into the Christian traditions and legends associated with Her as a saint. For example, as St. Brigit, She had the power to appoint bishops and they had to be goldsmiths. She was associated with miracles and fertility. Into the 18th century a women’s only shrine was kept to her in Kildare (meaning Church of the Oak) in Ireland. There, nineteen nuns tended Her continually burning sacred flame. An ancient song was sung to Her: “Brigid, excellent woman, sudden flame, may the bright fiery sun take us to the lasting kingdom.” Brigid/St. Brigit was said to be the inventor of whistling and of keening.

Massive solar flare should be hitting us right about… now (Tuesday evening 1/24/2012).
via Ethan at ScienceBlogs:

Our Sun, early yesterday morning, had a relatively powerful Solar Flare, at class M8.7. (M is the second highest class, behind only X.) While it’s nothing compared to the biggest ones we’ve recently seen, Solar Flares can occasionally spell trouble for us here on Earth.
This Solar Flare produced a CME directed towards Earth, and since it’s moving at around a whopping 1,000 miles per second, that means it’s arriving… right around… NOW!
A coronal mass ejection is when this heated plasma stream of electrons, protons, and heavy ions gets launched out of the Sun in a random direction in space. This charged radiation can totally do some damage to electronics but you are fine.

And this bit about the coming aurorae:

Anyone with clear skies in the Northern Hemisphere should go and look for them tonight; we don’t know how far South they’ll be visible, but even places that very rarely get aurorae might be in luck tonight!
