thought for a morning...
 

Anyone have plans for Beltain this year? We are planning on joining another group for an outdoor maypole dance.

Our Mother, who art the earth, hallowed be thy name. Thy Queendom beneath our feet, thy will it's harmony. Blessed all thy spaces, sacred all thy creatures. Give us this day our food and drink, and prevent us from our despoilization. Forgive us our trespasses against thy holy body, and teach us to reverence thee always. So mote it be.

yes, plans..quiet ones, a celebration in the woods, a cozy bon fire, flirting with my husband:rubberducky:

it's been too long...
 

springing forth..
 

warmed honey and milk with magical work is a welcomed offering to your fruit trees and grape vineyards.. & received happily among your garden herbs..

Goddess Mother of love and light, watch over me this day and keep me within your sight. Bless this day and all who live it; May all all beings everywhere be happy, free, and at peace. So mote it be.

thank you for all your well wishes. Our kitty passed today, she will be very missed, but we will see her again..:candle::candle::candle:

sorry to hear :bunchflowers:

I'm sorry for the loss :( May she be in Bast's care :candle:

May bast hold her lovingly in her arms. Blessed Be.

Ancient Moon, come to me. I call and ask this of thee. Help me feel your strength again, and find the Goddess that resides within.

friends...
 

love is the only precious thing we can take with us when we leave this world..therefore, it's the only thing that matters:rrose:

Great Mother, you who are of me and around me, guide me thru this day. Teach me the way through darkness and confusion. Grant to me: courage, balance, strength, and love for this day. So mote it be.

nothing to fear..she rules..
 

Bless me Goddess on this day, help me as I work and play, to reflect your beauty now, lend your strength and please allow, this day to be all it should be, in love I ask this, blessed be. Oh sweet Goddess this I ask, guide me in my daily tasks.

Have a great day
 

I wanna wish everyone love and light, and blessing in whatever you do today may the God's and Goddesses bless you and protect you

Blessed be:rrose:

My new moon intentions that I set are now beginning to come true. The Goddess is always with me, guiding me and lending her strength.

July is for the Oak Moon..
 

rarely, do I offer magic..but these are exceptional times...here is a little magic with goodness weaved thru-out

find two acorns, one (who speaks to you for healing) another (for drawing sickness and melancholy)

Stand under a (kindly) Oak tree. With your arms extended with an acorn in each hand. Visualize healing flowing into you from the acorn picked for that purpose. Thank the Goddess and the acorn. Now, Visualize any malady (you currently have), being contained in the other acorn chosen for this purpose. Thank the Goddess and this acorn.

Bury the acorn that contains your weakness under the Oak tree.
Carry the other as a Talisman.

listen..
 

true beauty..
 

it's a little late...

late August..
 

is the time of the Corn Moon, also known as the Barley Moon. It's the beginning of Harvest and a beautiful time to celebrate with the bounty from your garden. The making of bread is as ancient as we are. This is the perfect time of year to create a loaf from your kitchen to be enjoyed by your household..Sing a song of joy as you make it and wrap everyday goodness into the dough. Bake it and serve with homemade jam, and a soup made from vegetables collected from your garden..The Moon is almost full and it's almost time to braid your onions The braiding of onions is one of the best ways of storing them for winter's use. Don't forget weave a few for the sick room to taken out if someone come's down with a cold or a flu bug - hang it in the room. It will absorb much of the negativity. Do remember to weave these onions within the circle with a prayerful song-Blessed Be~

love spells
 

Today I was just outside with my dogs in the backyard and saying my morning devotions to the Goddess and enjoying the rain. Usually my dogs hate the rain and do their business and run back inside the house, but this morning even they seemed interested in watching me commune with nature. I have been having a lot of butterfly interactions here lately and this morning a big yellow one was there, flitting about in the rain. I felt happy, calm, and very peaceful. I kept remembering "Let go and let Goddess".........

Autumnal Equinox-22nd
 

don't forget your fall protection spell and your garden offerings to the earth & goddess..let them know you appreciate the bounty given-

Happy Mabon!
 

I love Mabon because it means we are that much closer to Samhain!

I hope everyone had a Blessed Mabon.

Samhain~
 

This year, for almost 13 months, Jupiter is in my sun sign. I am so ready for the abundance. According to the Tarot, this is the time for financial and personal gains. Next year, Jupiter is in my money house, which is also my ascendant. Looking forward to a great two years ahead.

Sorry I missed posting, I hope everyone had a Blessed Mabon.

Bring on Samhain!
