I sighted the waxing crescent at 5:53 p.m. and began a
new attempt at 5:55 p.m. The number 55 is a lucky
recurring number for me, and in Roman numerals
is LV, which I take to mean LOVE.

I began the attempt by saying “Goddess, will you and
other collaborators involved in the initial nine items
please begin the initial nine items?” and getting a
(P) closure click and buzz. Again, I define Goddess
as the ruler of the region all.everything, who many
call God, and She is the chair/moderator and most
important collaborator of my workings, which can
be considered as a complicated prayer in which I
have done much of the groundwork in the last 29 years.

After I got the (P) closure, for good measure I
kissed the breast of the moon, thinking of
the woman I have shakti associated with Luna,
who is not Sarah McLachlan, who is shakti
associated with Gaia.

Even though it was not yet dark, I also spotted
what I am pretty sure is Venus.
