Zeus' Palatial Blog

I leave tomorrow for the gathering out west. Those of you on the Island and in the valley - I’m sorry

Though I have yet to actually pack to leave I have mentally prepared myself for the trip. I’m also flying with a suitcase full of maple syrup and related maple products as gifts (search my bags? There’s nothing of interest in these bags - move along). At any rate I will be gone for the better part of a week, so don’t get all up in arms because I’m not posting blog updates. I promise to fill you all in once I return to Olympus and Hera releases me from her strangle hold (I’m leaving her with Hercules and Apollo for the first time ever).

Operation Psi Practice with Svenove and Nesjamag got off to a smashing start last week and though I pinged out of the practice session on Saturday due to some family happenings (isn’t that always the way) it was a great success. If you haven’t joined the Psi Palatium Circle yet then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! From the main website choose the Circle link (on the left menu) and sign up for the course. They’ve put a lot of work into the setup and execution of things. If you’re looking to improve, practice, or simply learn anything about psi this is the way to do it!

As always with the Community while I am gone the rest of the staff are in charge and will democratically take care of everything per the Chat Channel Charter and Community Charter. Your other option is always to wait for my return at which time I review everything anyways

Best of the Energies Everyone!

Another beautiful day on Olympus. The boys are outside having a grand old time and I’m hard at “work” once again. What’s new on the mountain these days? Let’s see .. I reassembled the trampoline a couple of weeks ago and everything else of the boy’s is back up and ready for summer (let’s hear it for Play Central). We did get a new pool for them to enjoy when it’s warm. Nothing big of course just one of those little 3m round pools. It came complete with pump, cover, and brominator. Oh yes, back to chemistry class for me. I was weighing the benefits and differences between bromine and chlorine use in pools and decided that since the pool is in full sun all day and can have quite a high bather load I’d stick with bromine. Being able to look after the pool much like a spa is much more convenient for me anyways.

The world of psi has seen some interesting waves in North American energies lately. I always feel I should apologize to people in Europe or elsewhere since I don’t keep constant tabs on those areas. It’s not that I don’t want to, but they’re outside of my normal haunting grounds. It’s been an interesting ebb and flow of energies that will see a rogue wave of energy coming in around the 25th … those of you that can shield should do so on that day.

I leave for a week on Tuesday so don’t be all up in arms if I don’t update for a bit. Once the gathering starts I’m not entirely sure I’ll have the spare time to blog, nor access to a computer for that matter. Yay for psychic times. Oh, and those of you in the valley, and on the Island we promise to contain balance as per usual standards.

It’s Friday and the boys have a day off from school due to the teachers having a professional development day. Not that it matters really other than I actually got to sleep in rather than get up and take them to school. Seeing as I didn’t get to bed until 0400 again it was a nice change in routine. I had an unprecedented five hours of sleep it was grand. The boys are doing whatever they do while I’m working in my office (or pretending to work as I write this). Tonight Hercules (my oldest son) and Hera (my wife) are going out for a mother/son get together, or something of the like, and that leaves Apollo (my youngest son) and I home for a father/son night. We’re going to build an igloo and I’m finally going to “officially” best him in a game of Mario Kart.

On the other side of the spectrum I’ve decided that I need to make the west ways cross-country trip again and have put things into motion for that. I’m looking at the middle of May as the time slot and will be on the Island over the two-four. That should give me loads of time to see everyone that I need to, create new plans for the coming year, and take some time to do some work out in the virgin forests. I have a thing for wild spaces and love the gigantic trees all over the place. I’m going to see if on this trip I don’t have to hastily come up with some technique for bear and mountain lion encounters, but then again that’s half the fun. I’ll be doing this tour alone as the family can’t take the time to make it with me (not to mention the expense of such a trek), but that’s alright too as it allows me to condense things a lot for a shorter but very efficient foray over 4000km from home. You just have to love the vastness of the country!

As far as the Palatium is concerned I’ve been working on my new set of Dream Classes for the Circle. I’m looking to post them beginning in March. I just wanted a complete change from my usual teachings and thought dreams would be a great place to visit. People in the chat channel have been bringing up dreams and we’ve been interpreting them quite regularly lately which lead me to create a class to help out.
