GinandJack just shared with us all his devotional experience, which included a lovely dogwood tattoo. I don’t want to steal his thunder, so go read his tumblr! in the meantime…

I myself have also been thinking about tattoos.

I have two (only two!) and each was gotten at an important coming-of-age, life transition moment of my life. Each is a sacred symbol, a holy relic of myself, who I have been, who I am now, who I will become.

Well. I just quit my job. I’m going to graduate school. I have a great internship. And I’m going back to NM/home after being away for far too long. I’m trying hard, very hard, to be a better priestess. The words on my lips are service service service.

For a long time I’ve wanted a forget-me-not… but I’m not really feeling it this time. Maybe? I don’t know. But I just had a thought while sitting at home by myself, watching a National Geographic documentary.

The labrys? is it meaningful? am I worthy?
