Obligations & Offerings
Dec. 9th, 2008 08:24 pmThis evening I started my usual offering to Tiwaz -- and was stopped dead with a hard look and a pointed question about a task I had been given to do.
No, sir, I have not yet written the email to the contact my spiritual director gave me about doing spiritual direction with Pagan soldiers.
And I should be willing to receive your offering why when you have not fulfilled the very simple obligation you willingly took on at my behest?
No reason in the world, my lord.
Do it. Now. I have nothing else to say to you until you do.
Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.
And yes, once I'd written and sent the email he was perfectly happy to accept the drink offering and my thanks for his protection of my daughter, my house, and me.
