Like many pagans - or not. I actually have no idea - I make resolutions at Yule, declared at the rising of the sun. At Samhain, I confront those from the year before, and let them go ceremonially. The time between Samhain and Yule is a 'dark' time of contemplation and meditation.
So far, these are my resolutions/plans/goals of the year to come:
* Continue going to the gym, but to do so more frequently. Twice a week at the least.
* Return to art, for I have forgotten its therapy. Finish those planned projects of mine:
- the floral works for the kitchen
- The Sedna IV boat scene
- Lilian in blue, done as a Klimt-esque portrait. Maybe mail it to her mum if it's good.
- Tree of Life abstraction
-Croppedcopy of Klimt's Tree of Life for altar
* Make a digital portfolio of my work, both online as website and on CD.
* Write regularly, and over come my hate in writing.
- Write articles blurbs on local art for submission to journals, newspapers, or an online blog for that purpose (as a 'portfolio' of writing.)
- Write articles from a reconstructionist perspective about Etruscan religion and culture.
- Write about pagan areas of interest for websites/magazines.
* Structure my life better, as I am more productive in that way.
* Enjoy working part time for a while, pursuing health and art pursuits vigorously at that time.
* Follow after a few months with full-time work - or two jobs - save $5000 by September. Likely impossible, but I'll figure that out later.
I also have in mind these spiritual goals:
* Build a permanent altar, which I've never had before, in my bedroom.
* Make daily devotions to the land, gods and ancestors a part of my life.
* Develop an Etruscan-focused witch craft.
Wow, what a list! But it does feel good to write it all out - gives me something to look forward to.




Very focused! I have an interest in all things Etruscan myself *S*
