My heart is flying right now and colored a familiar shade of red.<\/p>\n

FenCon<\/a> was fucking amazing. I have never been to a con before, but this one was about 15 minutes from where we work, and J was so excited about it because Joe Bethancourt would be there. It was Friday evening, Saturday all day, and then most of the day Sunday (closed at 5).<\/p>\n

I met a fellow Sekhmet follower, one of the ladies in the dealer room who was selling beautiful jewelry that was way too brilliant and vivid for me. I bought a beautiful antler-tip pendant with subtle curly carvings on the top from her, the only item that she had that jived with my style; I kept putting it down and picking it back up again, which is usually a sign that I’mma get something.<\/p>\n

I was wearing a silver Celtic\/Nordic lion pendant, and she said, “I see you like Nordic stuff,” and I said, “Well, yeah, Celtic, Nordic, and Egyptian.” She said, “I’m right there with you on the Egyptian stuff,” so I did what I will occasionally, rarely do, and I pulled the Sekhmet pendant from beneath my shirt and showed her.<\/p>\n

She broke into a grin. “Sekhmet!”<\/p>\n

“You recognize Her!” I replaced the pendant beneath my shirt. “Not many do.”<\/p>\n

She smiled at me. “She’s my goddess.”<\/p>\n

My heart leapt at those words. Click<\/i>, there you go – two strangers beaming at each other across a card table, excited and happy and a little awed at making that connection, at sharing something intimate and unusual.<\/p>\n

PS~ There was a live SJ Tucker concert in Redmond this weekend, and it was recorded! You can watch it here<\/a> – there are a lot of songs I haven’t heard before, which surprises and delights me. =3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
