tyggerjaiI don't often talk about Goddess, and my relationship with her.
It's my relationship, and, well, I don't feel much of a need to talk about it. Ever.
Been there, done that, looked like a prat.
But at the work christmas party tonight, there was a Tarot reader. And I raised an eyebrow, and figured "Well, whatever floats your boat."
But I was chatting later to my tech lead, who I strongly suspect is a Christian, and he said "So, you giving it a go?".
And I said "Nope. Goddess and I, I think we've got it sorted out at the moment, so there's not much point.". And he, of course, concurred. And we had one of those nice, ecumenical moments when I suggested that I wasn't quite sure how I felt about public tarot readings at a work christmas party. I've had readings in pubs, at private parties, on drama camps, at rehearsals, a number of offbeat places, but they never felt like entertainment. It's a little like, though I didn't vocalise the analogy, having a confessional booth at a party, and a man in a frock to hear your sins right there. Either it's entertainment - which is fine, but, well, then it's not Tarot, or it's Tarot, in which case, well, it's not entertainment.
*shrug* I dunno.
And if you're a tarot reader who pays the bills by doing work Christmas parties, or if you had your cards read at a work christmas party, hey, more power to you, and who am I to say.
But, y'know. just saying. Not for me. Me, I'm looking forward to a few days alone on the Cann Valley Highway, with the CBR and Goddess, because while we seem to have an understanding, it doesn't hurt to take her for a ride every now and then. Then I can come back refreshed to another great year of the life I love.
