[Text: Richard to Reanne]

I checked it out. Fran was Badb Catha in
a past life. Not sure who i was, but i'm
guessing we all knew each other back in
the day...

[Text: Reanne to Richard]

I think so too

13th (Friday)
Texted Eve last night, during the rainstorm, 'This is my
favourite kind of weather!!' She texted back, 'It's way too
heavy lol.'

14th (Saturday)
Gave Deeksha a couple of prints from the book. Exchanging
texts with Reanne this evening

15th (Sunday)   [Ascension of the Battle Raven]
Jasmine tea with Reanne at Nordstrom this evening. Showed me
a drawing in her sketchbook, described the impression of the
Northern Lights had on her last week. She had me draw three
cards from a deck (which were Abundantia, Diana & Brigit) &
explained what they meant as a sort of guidance & inspiration
to me going into the New Year

16th (Monday)   [Ascension of the Battle Raven]
Seven photos of the girls texted from Myle. 'Van is wearing
red lady bug outfit,' she wrote. 'We should meet up soon'
Joyce looked good in a pink shirt with white stripes. As she
leaned against the coffee machine, I remarked that it would
make a good portrait

19th (Thursday)   [Ascension of the Battle Raven]
Gave Joyce a copy of the 'Advil' pastel, which quite amused
her. Met Kana at Shoppers on Davie, who was battling a bit of
a cold, but looked quite elegant out of the kitchen. Checked
out Fran on Facebook, who had a striking new profile, & added
a little to the background text. Felt a rush of anticipation,
& thought of the message in Reanne's cards : Prosperity,
Focused Intention, Don't Back Down

21st (Saturday)   [Ascension of the Battle Raven]
Showing Joyce two of the 'champagne' pastels. Said she knew
there was a message there, but wasn't sure what it was, not
having been raised here, which was quite astute

22nd (Sunday)   [Ascension of the Battle Raven]
Lovely sunset over Kits this evening, a deep, rich orange/pink

23rd (Monday)
Texted Reanne with a little encouragement for tomorrow, she
texted back, 'Thanks Richard. Text me before u pop in as I
don't know my sched yet.'
