omorkaHave fallen a bit behind on keeping an altar log. The outdoor altar's candles for Shapshu and Eshmun are nearly burned out, and I should plan on whom I will place on that altar once they're gone. I am currently contemplating Yarikhu and Nikkal, but that would almost make the outdoor altar the Syrian one and the indoor altar the Chaldean one. (On the third hand, perhaps the Canaanite gods are more used to outdoor shrines?)
I need to find a reliable supply for good stick or cone frankincense incense, redundant as that sounds. It seems to be pretty reliable, although so does the cedarwood/lavender combo that the local Pagan shop sells in stick form.

Never did make it to CMA; the flooding out there was just too bad for them to let anyone onto the property. First festival I've missed since '97, and honestly I'm pretty bummed about it. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that the overlap between what I'm looking for and what the average festival-goer at CMA is looking for is significantly smaller now than it was ten years ago. It may be time for me to step back a little from CMA and focus my energies on building the Chaldean tradition, although I'll certainly still attend festivals.
