Winter Solstice 12/21/2014

I will be more than happy to get this year behind me and start a new one! This week just keeps getting worse it seems, after last Monday's Pluto Uranus Square, it has been one mess after another. More drama and aggravation came in the form of another female relative two days ago, when someone called me after her and her spouse had been arguing and she has been drinking again..I have no interest or patience with drunken raging and ranting, I am more than done with that particular situation I have listened to that broken record off and on for about 15 years now and I really I wish that scenario would just end and be done! It is not my situation or my problem to solve or change and never was to begin with.




A week or so ago I actually had a dream depicting a very similar situation concerning this one relative, and what may have happened had I or my son would have been there, or what may still happen if I go over there, which is why I am holding off about going to visit relatives for the holidays. I have no intention of walking into a warzone or allowing my child to be anywhere near it or involved in it. That situation affects everyone that knows them in negative ways and only stirs the shit pot that much more.




I personally just want to go back to my work that I have had to put on hold, write on my books, start some new work projects, and focus on manifesting positive and productive energy into our lives. That is going to be tonight's intention while I am working in the circle. This is the longest night of the year and  I intend to manifest something positive and get rid of things, people, and situations that no longer serve a place or purpose and do nothing but cause a hindrance.. I seriously might just stay home for the holidays and go nowhere or visit anyone. I have no interest in being made responsible or having the responsibility of everyone else's issues and problems thrust onto me as if I have the power and wherewithal to fix or change it.


I see others in my social circle dealing with similar issues and that aggravates me as I feel like they too should be allowed to move on with their own lives in a positive direction and be relatively free from worries, stress, and negative situations and people that are bringing them down and they should not have to be dragged along into other people's problems and troubles that are not their burden to be carrying.  Our own little  world is heavy enough to carry let us not have asteroids and black holes attached! I bid everyone good day and Bright Blessings, I will be back soon to update and hopefully the next post will  contain much happier news to report.

12/18/2014 Pluto Uranus Square update..

So the planetary Square I mentioned in my last post brought some serious emotional turbulence to my life and I do not think it's done throwing curveballs at me yet. First I got into a heated discussion with a family member over a financial issue, then yesterday a friend of mine shocked me with a surprise visit and pregnancy announcement. I get to be a "auntie" to my long time friends new baby. I was so not prepared for that. I am going to be honest about something, I have always wanted more children. I can't have that happen for me anymore. I wanted to be happy for her, I tried to show some enthusiasm but I'm pretty sure it was noticed that I wasn't too thrilled. Instead I was very upset inside about it but I didn't tell her that. I had no right to taint or crush her happy news with my own inner turmoil about a delicate and touchy subject. I wasn't even angry or upset at her.. I was being forced to examine something about myself that has long been a source of unhappiness for me.


It angered me to tears and I was very hurt inside and depressed that I have to stand by and watch a dream of mine crumble and I will most likely not get another chance to have that personal joy. That is a dream I have to let go of, I have to let it fade away and find another dream. I'm about to be 32, my options for becoming a mother again are slowly disappearing, and economically and financially it's not a smart or wise decision to start with. There is also the fact I have no one in my life to have that kind of blessing with and even if it were someone else's kids I would be fine with that.  I have to face real facts and not dwell on a dream I have silently nurtured for a long time. I know it is probably God and Goddess's will that I don't get to have anymore kids, but I cannot help but feel cheated, overlooked, and somehow inadequate. I realize that I might be acting and feeling selfish or self centered.  But it has always been a deep and burning desire of mine to be the parent, wife, woman, and mother that I myself did not get to really have growing up, and I have to say that my own personal ambitions and the actions I took towards trying to achieving that goal did not go as I hoped, despite a lot of work and effort and time I devoted to it. I am doing the best I can with what I have and I already know it is not enough in a lot of ways. I screwed up, I failed, I made stupid mistakes. I would give almost anything to have another chance to achieve that dream in a way that makes me feel content and whole inside myself. 


I already have two children, from three failed relationships and two divorces.15 years ago, when I was asked what I wanted from life,  I said I wanted at least 4 kids, a happy marriage and home life and all those things that at that time I really never had , however that didn't quite happen for me. One child I have and the other I don't. Me being forced to be the "part time" parent to one of the kids and barely getting to be part of her life does not sit well with me and it is a source of constant emotional strain for everyone involved. I feel it should never had to have happened that way and I cannot just wave a wand and fix that. My hands are tied, I am helpless and powerless against a lot of things in that situation and that makes me seethe and hurt even more.          


I try to see the silver lining and blessing in disguise and realize that there is a good reason for everything that I have to go through and endure in this life. But Goddess help me I'm not having a very clear vision yet of how and why some things are supposed to be "good" for me right now. I guess that goes along with the idea that sometimes you get what you ask for, just not always in the ways you wanted or asked for exactly, and then you get shown why it is that certain things and situations maybe wasn't meant for you to have and wasn't good for your personal and spiritual development. You can dream and have ambitions towards something but that does not mean it is really what you "need" and what is ultimately best for you, and despite how unfair, cruel, and bitter, and unhappy some things may be, or how you feel and think about it, it is still for yours and everyone's best interest in the end. That is God and Goddess will and intention and no amount of ranting, raging, and yanking their proverbial chain is going to change their minds.


On a brighter note.. I have recently found more means of financial income, I found a Amazon work site that seems to be holding up to it's promise as claimed , as I have already made a few dollars from it. This adds to the other work I have been trying to do for other sites and the book endeavors I have been working on.  Somewhere along this I am going to hit it big financially,  I can feel it, something good is coming for me in a area of money or something to do with wealth and monetary or material prosperity. There will be something good manifest as a result of all the tedious and time consuming tasks I have been throwing myself into for weeks now. I am aiming for a decent tax refund this coming year, so I can maybe move into a different home or apartment. I also have a gofundme  page set up.. although I am not exactly expecting donations from that..it was a idea a friend suggested to me and said try it out and see what happens. I need help with funds to maybe get a down payment to buy a nicer home and set up a space for my Pagan crafts business I previously wrote about in here months ago. That is currently a lot more money than I have right now!


I would like to see that financial goal manifest this coming year. I bought a new wallet recently and I am going to use this New Moon in Capricorn on the Winter Solstice to bless it, and all of my things associated with my finances, and place a money drawing spell on the wallet and request a new financial beginning for myself. I feel this is something that will be favored. My new years resolutions will start this coming Sunday, I will try to have my second book published, and make enough money from my other financial efforts to have the home and business I am looking at. I guess I shall go for now, I have written a short novel here! Bright Blessings to everyone and  Happy Holidays and Blessed Yule! I will try to be back in here after the x-mas holidays are done!

Pluto and Uranus Squares off Tomorrow!!

Get ready everyone, tomorrow is gonna be a doozy!  Pluto and Uranus will square off for the 6th, time bringing huge and transformational upheavals and changes. Some of us may have already seen signs of tense energies and felt a strong stir in the air that something serious is about to happen. This is especially important for the Four Cardinal signs as these changes and upheavals may not be very comfortable and could possibly be catastrophic. The theme being played out on tomorrow's crazy square seems to be focused on romantic matters and close relationships with friends, lovers, marriage partners, and family.. This looks to be continuing for the whole week until the New Moon in Capricorn on the 21st.  Saturday, the 20th, seems to really be the day for us to find out that everything we thought we knew about a relationship, well maybe we don't know anything....it's like having the wool ripped off our eyes and we see some things exactly for what it is and maybe is not. This might lead into serious breakups or possibly transform a relationship entirely to a new and intense level. Me, being a Capricorn, I hope this square doesn't rock my life and flip everything upside down and create chaos that I really don't need right now! If I remember correctly, the last square we had back in April, I was not happy with some of the things that happened then. Whatever happens I guess it will be for the better of everyone. This is going to be a short post, so Bright Blessings Everyone and I shall return soon!

Dec 6, 2014, Full Moon Here There Be Dragons..

The Full Moon is tomorrow. I have not had the greatest couple of weeks, today for instance, I removed a "friend" from my life. Said friend was becoming more and more toxic verbally, emotionally, and psychologically towards me, my associations with others, and themselves, and I felt it was no longer my place or purpose to be part of their life. After we had got into a heated snarling match day before yesterday and said person hit a very sensitive topic and hot button of mine the wrong way, and had already been pushing their luck, and my patience for weeks, I finally blew a fuse and cut this person off, in response to being ignored they called me so much and tried to blow up both my home line and my cell to where I ended up calling the phone company for instructions of how to block the number. nevermind the message I received on FB, that was just blocked and deleted. all methods of contact has now been deleted, blocked, and erased.


I don't feel guilt or remorse because this person has some issues they seriously need to work on and I am not going to be the outlet for the constant negativity or have it impact my life and of others I associate with in unhealthy ways. Of course my decision was met with fury, denial, pleading, and then insults and more negative reactions. I am not changing my mind or reneging on my decision out of remorse, guilt, or pity because there isn't any. I was so annoyed and frustrated with it all that I felt it best to not work on any serious spell work this weekend, aside from charging my bags and crystals and perhaps a bit of protection and shielding might not be a bad idea. I have from tonight until Monday to refocus my energy in case I decide to work on anything requiring moderate amounts of energy.


On a brighter note, onto a new interesting subject I am now researching, I had my aura read from a friend, of which I have never really had done before. I discovered my aura is a dark blue or indigo, and I have a massive, black dragon guardian. Whom is very serious and secretive about sharing anything between himself and outsiders. I know very little about dragons and their magic, however I do know that dragons are fierce, possessive guardians and protectors of what and whom they consider theirs. They do not like everyone and if they don't like you, well I guess you are just going to be crispy fried like KFC chicken if you push the wrong button. They are wise and all knowing in regards to learning how to master oneself. I have always felt a massive looming presence with me for as long as I can remember, and now I think back on all of those incidents with hot and electrical objects when I was a kid and during my teen years and I have to wonder if that was a early sign of my protector, even if it was scary and sometimes dangerous.


But I never got to be revealed too much as to what and whom it may had been until now. Before I only got to see glimmers, and a shape that I was convinced was someone/something brooding, potentially dangerous and had a very reserved and cool energy, and I am somewhat mollified to discover that he is apparently very huge, very old, black or dark in color, hence the "dark" presence, its not the personality it is in fact the coloring. I cant go into this description too much lest I be considered some sort of lunatic. Not everyone believes in dragons or "mythical creatures" let alone the concept of having one for a guardian. Research the term "Otherkin"..that seems to be rather interesting and informative.        


Now I have to muster up some big brass and figure out how to be more in tune and how to really work with this awe inspiring creature that sees fit to watch over and teach me a few things. It at least explains my attraction to art, and objects that resemble  half human demons, dark angels, and similar creatures.. they usually are all depicted to have dragon type wings.. hmm.  It seems important that I not share too much about him or his purpose or anything he might be teaching me.. apparently that is supposed to be just between us for now until I get the formal permission to share it. I find it rather amusing in a way.. imagine the little tiny petite girl has a black, fire breathing,  dragon the size of her house watching down on her. Does anyone else that reads my posts know anything about dragons? If so, don't hesitate to share with me your experiences and what you have learned thus far. This is a entirely new concept to me and any advice or instruction I could learn would be greatly appreciated!! Bright Blessings to Everyone!

New Moon 11/24/2014

Hello to all and Bright Blessings, I was busy on the New Moon and I had company visiting over that weekend and I never got a real chance to update until today, 11-28-2014.  On this past New Moon I made time for a small spell, I asked for positive transformation to begin, and that negative situations become more positive and some problems and issues to be removed and for peace and harmony to come around. I will know in a few days if my request has been heard and granted, or not. Transformations take time, I may not see any serious changes until the Full Moon so until then I will keep watch for signs of anything coming to pass.








On the New Moon night I also made some white sage and mugwort herbal tea, the intent being to clear out and send away negative energy (mugwort) and provide both bodily and auric cleansing (sage). I felt like this needed to be done literally from the inside out and I wonder if this is also what made me feel very dried out Sunday when I woke up? Does anyone else have this effect when using mugwort? I just know that I woke up with really dry sinuses and skin and it was a bit itchy. The tea is bitter and astringent, the sage provides a minty, citrus taste but you still have to just suck it down, wash it down with a bit of a sweetened drink of some kind, and get it over with. A slightly bitter taste in your mouth can be remedied, it is the end result which matters most. As I have stated in the past, pregnant and nursing women should not ingest, inhale, or have serious contact with mugwort or any part of it's chemical properties as it can produce strong contractions or worse in the pregnancy and you can pass the herb's effect along into the breast milk to your child, of which effects in children have not been extensively studied or documented that I have found yet.











My Thanksgiving holiday was quiet, I went to a friend's house and stayed the night. We had a deer shoulder roast in lieu of turkey, as it seems turkey is prohibitively expensive this year. I am going to spend the rest of the weekend at home, I think I will do my shopping later when the madness of Black Friday has calmed down. I feel like I need more sleep and spending quiet time to myself seems like a better idea for the moment. I haven't wanted to socialize or see or talk to many people lately, and that seems to be the thing that a lot of other people around me seem to constantly want and need and it makes me feel physically and emotionally drained and exhausted. Today I made ginger cookies and like usual they turned into ginger pancakes in the pan but they were still good so never mind they were not perfect.


Until the Full Moon, which is on December 6,2014, I will be working on my transformation spell, visualizing what I want to see transformed and how I want the end result to be, and looking for signs of manifestation along the way. I will keep y'all posted as to what happens between here and then. I shall return..Blessed Be to All!

November 11,2014 New Book Published!

Hello to everyone and how has your week been thus far? I have been busy getting my book The Darkened Path Book 1: The Journey Begins  published, at the moment I am waiting on it to be cleared for being uploaded to Amazon, there is only the print version available right this minute but be assured I am feverishly working on submitting the E-book version! I even forwent doing any spells or magical workings this past Full Moon because I was mad busy working on this. I have the second  book in the series already started and 104 pages are written in that so far.


The Darkened Path series came into existence..by literally a dream I had about walking through a shadowed and ugly wooded path, and I was then standing in front of a dirty and old faded mirror being teased and taunted and screamed at by the things and people in my past that I longed to forget and move on from. Later in the same dream I was watching myself kneeled in a patch of dirt, writing words in a book with red (blood?) ink.  I woke up the next morning, went to my computer and opened up the Word program, and started typing. Words poured into pages upon pages with memories of the past, discovering and learning about my empath and spiritual gifts, and all the things I have seen and heard and went through and done in my life for 28 years up until I moved into my apartment.  I translated a massive eye opening vision onto paper, and I invite you all to see that dream by reading the book itself.


The end of book 1 sort of goes into a cliffhanger.. and then resumes again in book 2, because that time in my life was a huge and difficult transition from letting go of the past and then moving on into a new life, to become something more in myself and begin a transformation into what I needed to be inside and out for myself. That which was perhaps even designed and constructed by some Higher Power to begin with, as it even started with a surefire honest to Goddess blessing sent by The Goddess and God themselves just like I asked. The "ask and ye shall receive" idea definitely does manifest in ways that will renew faith and give hope when you need it the most.


I am going to go for the moment, lots of work to be doing, Bright Blessings everyone and I hope some of you will enjoy reading newest creation soon!

Why I am a Pagan. Full Moon 11/6/2014.

Yesterday I was asked a very good question. "How did you end up being into witchcraft and magic, what led you into it and why do you practice it?" This was asked of me out of curiosity and a desire to grasp a concept of something they do not understand and they wanted to learn something about me and how it defines me as a person and why I think and believe as I do, and they are a opposite religion as me, but however they express a tolerance and acceptance for the fact I am a different faith than them. I am not judged by them nor am I less a person to them and they love me and try accept me as I am even if maybe they don't always agree with me on some things. Some people might consider this kind of questioning rude or disrespectful , I however saw the chance to enlighten and teach another person  and now a few others about who I am as a person and how this path of mine has, and still does influence and shapes my life as a whole.


Why did I end up being a witch? Well that path I didn't originally pick for myself and I was not raised in the faith, I was born and raised into a Baptist family. The Pagan Path somewhat chose me, and it seems I was marked by a different form of God and Goddess or some other unknown deity before I was even born, thusly I was born into it and it was a part of me from the second I took a breath in the world. I even have a birthmark on my right arm that no one else in my family has or remember anyone else having. There were numerous signs that I was just not meant to be a Christian and that being a part of a organized faith and path was not meant to be my calling. One time I was taken to Sunday service and we were doing the communion wafer and wine ceremony, I started choking and strangling on the grape wine and wafer that stuck to my mouth like foul tasting glue and everyone in that church was looking at me like I was damned and condemned right there.. Never mind the fact I could have died on the floor from choking on a piece of bread as they weren't looking at that exactly.  I was never taken back to that church again and I never went to any other church again after that. When I was 10 years old I had a preemptive, terrifying, and eye opening dream where I saw a family member fall down the barn stairs and it happened clearly as I saw it in the dream exactly two days later and I described this to another person on the phone down to the minutest detail, of which I was then asked in incredulous shock exactly how I could have possibly known about that because I was never there at all. When I opened my mouth and explained this idea then the people in my household at the time were giving me wary and angry glares, or refused to look me in the eyes and explain what this was about and why this was happening to me, they were not in the least impressed or happy about this revelation of mine.  This was my first ever experience with clairvoyant dreams and I discovered much to my family's disapproval that this was not something they wanted to know or understand anything about. This so called "unacceptable" gift and sometimes curse has only become stronger and more prevalent in my life over the last 21years.


 More signs came, I discovered I could sense and feel spiritual and emotional energies and that sometimes this energy would come to me and literally make itself known. I am one of those that can see, hear and perceive the presence of ghosts, spirits, and other types of energy, and I can read and sense other people's  emotions, thoughts, feelings, sometimes I can feel the energy in a place or in a room especially if it has a strong presence or emotion attached to it, or is negative and has a darkness to it, I am sometimes affected by other's emotions and behaviors, and this has lead me into a life where I don't have many real friends and I am pretty reclusive and hermetic. I can very accurately make a observance of people, situations, and scenarios, and well just don't lie to me is all I can say, cause well you are just fooling yourself.  I can spot something wrong even if you don't say a word and if you're hiding something well it wont take me long to figure out what it might be. Sometimes total strangers will just open up and talk to me like they are oddly compelled to suddenly spill their deepest darkest and strongest emotions. I can even spot something being hidden on a text, in a letter, and not even have to see or hear the person talking or be anywhere near them at all. How many times have I looked at someone a few minutes, opened my mouth, hit a nail dead center on its head, and had someone look at me like I am somehow a lunatic, they become scared, unnerved, uncomfortable and sometimes angry at the idea I could possibly have known something they probably haven't told anyone else or they were trying damn hard to hide it.  I have only a few people who really respect and appreciate this gift of mine and actually praise and accept me for it.  


How many times have I said something would or could possibly happen, and lo and behold it manifests into physical reality very shortly afterwards, again I am looked at and talked about like I am somehow mentally cracked and nothing I say or express can be believed or trusted even if proof is right there in front of their face.. well I told you already like two weeks ago this might happen or it will happen and I felt like it was going to happen and you didn't listen to me.. oh well.... I know how that curse of Cassandra must feel like now. Those of you that don't know..in Greek Mythology, Cassandra was the love interest of Apollo, he loved her so much and she rejected him , he had gifted her with the gift of prophesy but since he was rejected and scorned now the gift would come with the price being that whenever she spoke her prophesies and truths that no one would believe her. Tragically and ironically, Cassandra died alone, eventually being driven completely insane by grief and the tortures of knowing her truths would never be believed and to others she was nothing but a liar, con artist, and madwoman. The price and the sacrifices of divine knowledge is sometimes very heavy indeed. All types of us Mediums, Empaths, and Highly Sensitive type people are said to possibly descend from this woman according to some sources.  


What led me to Paganism? Well the discovery that I was so obviously different, unacceptable, unnatural and many other negative terms, led me to find a way to make sense and have peace inside my tortured soul and mind about why I was not like everyone else in my house and those around me that were "normal". I wanted and craved acceptance and approval and acknowledgement from myself and from others. I wanted to find out what this thing was supposedly wrong about me and why people were looking at me like I was the devil incarnate and shying away from me like I had some kind of taint on me that would never come clean. It was made very clear to me that everything about me and the things I had a natural affinity for was the blackest of sins and it was supposed to be ignored, repressed, stamped out, washed clean, like I had some kind of filth and disease all over me and inside me that they couldn't stand or tolerate.


 I was not allowed to even breathe a word of anything I saw or experienced, or to exhibit any kind of behavior in public or at home that would hint at the fact I was possibly unstable, needed mental therapy, or that I lived in a absurd and foolish fantasy world that no one believed in and the things I spoke about or acted out in any way was not to be displayed in any way, shape or form. I spent a lot of my younger years stewing in suppressed mental and physical misery and I stayed depressed, angry, and upset inside over this. I could see, hear, sense, feel, this wild and pulsing energy and presence that was alive and screaming at me to acknowledge it and I had to find some way to appease and satisfy both my need to understand myself and understand what was supposedly "wrong" with me. In my household and sometimes in public I felt oppressed, repressed, chained down, suffocated and denied something that was not going to be ignored and it wasn't just going to disappear just because others tried to pretend it wasn't there. Trying to make yourself be, act, and feel like something you are just not going to be is a disaster waiting to happen, and numerous occasions this pent up energy and frustration came busting out and showed itself in some not so fantastic displays of  potentially dangerous manifestations of the stove eyes exploding, stuff catching fire, electrical appliances and light fixtures refusing to work or malfunctioning, one year a row of green beans I planted thrived and was pretty while the plants that my papaw planted withered and died like they were sick without any real explanation. This is reminiscent of poltergeist activity, and almost always the center of this activity is a female child that is going through some serious changes and no one is paying attention or trying to understand that.


I also discovered I loved to grow things, herbs, plants, flowers, anything green, I love rose bushes, sweet smelling flowers, and herbal plants, animals usually like me and sometimes even come to see me from nowhere as if I called them to me, this is usually a dog, cat, or something furry and four legged, I have 4 huge and healthy goldfish that probably should be dead by now but they are thriving in a cramped 10 gallon tank. I seriously need them a bigger tank or a new home soon! There's a one specific crow living in my neighborhood that sends out a loud and raucous greeting every time it sees me outside anywhere and I find perfect glossy black crow feathers a lot down here on the lawns. Sometimes babies and little kids exhibit a strong fascination and need to be around me, small babies have immediately quit crying and fusing the second they see me or even just fall asleep if I am holding them. I am unusually "charming" and give off a strangely attractive, and interesting vibe to the opposite sex, I cant walk 15 minutes to the store without being asked at least once by strange men if I need a ride anywhere. this gets annoying after awhile.  I have seen much more beautiful women than me..so yeah I got some interesting attractive mojo going on!!  


Why do I practice this path? One day in my teen years I was about 16 I suppose, after several hundred so called unnatural, abnormal and unaccepted incidents, happenings, and I got into high school, I had a few friends that occasionally talked about and discussed things about paganism, witchcraft, and other topics, and I was magnetically pulled and drawn like a moth to a raging bonfire, and I borrowed a book one day from a close friend and I started reading into it and the more I read it clicked like a missing puzzle piece in my brain and I was overcame with a immense excitement, and overwhelming peace and joy in myself..this was what I wanted, needed, craved, and had been searching for!!  It all made perfect, logical, clear cut sense to me like I had just had my eyes and brain opened and saw a whole new world that had not been there before and I began to devour every piece of information I could find from every available source I could get it from. 


 One particular incident stands out clearly in my mind..one day a note was taken from one of my friends in class, of which we had been discussing witchcraft and other related topics and planning to have a weekend to ourselves to hang out and maybe test out a few theories, and of course so I could learn some more without being discovered. Her mom was a pagan, she had tons upon tons of information she was willing to share with me.  So anyways this note of ours was snatched away by the teacher and after she decided to read it to the whole class it landed on the desk of the assistant principle who so happened to be a deacon of his church, I and my friend were expelled from school for two days as punishment. One for passing notes and two for discussing a religious topic in a "religiously neutral setting". Um yeah that was really the whole reason we were actually expelled as if we didn't know that already... the whole time he was discussing this with our families I thought he was about to pass out or have a coronary. My family members I was living with at the time were beyond furious I would shame and ridicule them in front of someone like a deacon of the church and on top of that get myself expelled and I was again forced conform and mold myself to something that made me miserable and unhappy and almost sick inside. I was also never allowed to see the inside of my friends house ever again after that.      


While I was careful for a long time to never exhibit or display anything outwardly concerning my newfound path or my interest in it, I was at least able to find and cultivate some inner happiness and I was finally on a path that made sense and at least spiritually inside and I was able to cope with it all a lot better, knowing I had a explanation and something to find comfort and solace in. I did not dive full force into seriously practicing anything related to witchcraft or paganism until I was in my 20s, by this time I as married and moved to another state and my then husband was ok with the fact that I wanted to try out and experience new things and learn about myself as a person and what I was capable of and what I could really do with myself. And when I dig my hands into herbs, candle making supplies, making oils, powders, tinctures, and other crafts, I feel whole inside. I am accomplishing something, I am manifesting and growing into truest and most pure form of myself and what I am and was meant to be, I am being what I know I am inside and learning and growing into something beautiful and strong. I am empowered unto myself. Making crafts, learning and casting new spells and studying different kinds of practices, brings me personal fulfillment  in ways I cant really describe. I know now there wasn't and never will be anything "wrong" with me. 


I am something beautiful and perfect in my own way that others prove that they are not sometimes and I have found out that I am a lot better person morally and spiritually than a lot of people I know that claim to be living a "right" way. I have seen people that claim to be living "right", and they very often prove that they are liars, hypocrites, judgmental, cruel, spiteful, jealous, hateful, and many other negative things, they hurt others and make others miserable, under the idea they are "right" and what they believe and do and say is "right". They will even let their own negativity interfere with and make attempts to destroy and wreck relationships and find ways to get this to happen if they think and feel it is right or better for you or others. If I am "wrong" or something have said or done is "wrong" then let my Creator tell me that when I finally reach the point where my deeds and actions and words have to be weighed in on as to whether or not I get to be blessed and receive my reward or I am damned  and condemned to be punished in whatever form of "Hell" or the underworld I am seen to be needing to go to. Either way it goes I will accept that, and learn from my possible mistakes and become a better person in the next life when I get to that bridge. Until then I am only as guilty as the next sinner and only as righteous as the next saint.   


I am going to be 32 soon, in January, it has taken me a long time to finally find myself inside as a person and as a spiritual self, and I am still learning and growing and becoming that person. I follow a path that is older than time itself and older than most recorded civilizations itself, long before any organized faith came into existence, the Pagan path and people like me existed and were considered  leaders, teachers, holy, powerful, strong, beautiful, and even worshipped as a living and breathing walking form of a Goddess, God or divine form of a deity, we sometimes become the mouthpiece of the Goddess and God, given a task that means we are to see and speak the truths of the world and everything in it, even those truths that are ugly and sometimes not pleasant to look at or examine and people want to hide them away,  , even if there are some that will never believe that or they scoff and ridicule that, well let them see and know in their own time. We are sometimes the inspiration of what true and pure love is and what real acceptance, trust, loyalty and happiness is, we are sometimes the forbearer of sickness, calamity, injury, strife, famine, war, there must be a bringer and messenger of that too, there is no Light without Darkness to balance and bring it into existence. I am both the Light, and I can also be the Darkness, sometimes I can be in between and sometimes that is what is needed.  And that is what I am and what I will continue to be and no one and nothing can take that from me or change it. 


I could go on and on and continue this discussion but I think I answered the questions set before me well enough and others can interpret these answers as they see fit and believe and think what they will. I am going to go for now and Bright Blessings to everyone.

Sunday 10-19-2014. Healing and Cleansing in progress...

Hello to all and how is everyone? I have to say I am slowly recovering from a massive sinus /ear infection that has given me a right fit for the last few days. Right after we had that last huge rain come through my area I woke up to badly inflamed sinuses that went straight to my left ear which is prone to getting fluid build up and inflammation. I had chronic infections in the left side when I was a kid. The last five days I have either been asleep or barraging my sinuses and throat with various home remedies such as salt water, Echinacea tea, Eucalyptus leaf with honey and lemon tea, migraine medicine, and chicken noodle soup and various water based clear liquids, to get my head to clear. I feel ok so long as my head is cleared out and I can get the disgusting amounts of crud to come loose, yeah I know that is gross but if I don't get it to come clean out of my head and throat I will just be worse off and end up possibly going to the Dr. for tests and stronger medicines and I hate Dr. offices or hospitals where they stick you with needles, poke around and prod you and ask annoying questions and run 10 kinds of tests and make you take medicine that is artificially made. Why do all of that when I can just heal myself and do exactly what they would do and more naturally?   




Yesterday finally I could breathe and the fluid in my ear is going down, but my left tonsil is still infected. Somehow I still have the energy, or just plain stubborn willfulness, to make myself take the 15 minute walk to the store, the nice autumn air feels good after being shut in for days, and then I came home yesterday from my brief outing I managed to clean the house and bomb my bedroom with a small cleansing ritual, which is where I have spent most of my time sick, I even stripped the bed and washed everything. Then I went straight through the house with the industrial strength antiseptic cleaner and whole house is getting blasted with a ritual cleansing to make sure the gross feeling negative energy is gone when I feel I have enough serious energy to do it right.. You can't really do magic or rituals when you are sick because your energy and defenses aren't up to par and it will not work out like you intend for it to.       




I find it odd I was perfectly fine last Thursday, and then Friday morning came and after that I was 10 kinds of miserable and unable to do anything but make myself take medicine, slurp down a bit of scalding hot soup and liquids, and pass out cold asleep. My son is not sick either and at some point over the weekend I hazily remember taking a shower and today I really worked on the skin scrubbing because I felt like I had grime glued to my skin and hair. I am not the person that just suddenly comes down sick out of the blue sky either and I noticed when I woke up on the third day enough to notice anything normally that my house has a strange smell to it like it has been shut up and neglected too long and every room of the house feels contaminated with some unseen residue like someone or something took buckets of slimy crud and plastered the walls and everything with it. Imagine a huge slug crawling and leaving its slime trail everywhere that is the impression I got when I woke up this morning. The slimy gross vibe on  me and in my house has to go and when I have enough viable energy to devote to a strong cleansing the negative vibe is going to be dynamited away.


I will update again soon, the New Moon is coming on Thursday, it is a partial solar eclipse and I really hope something good happens in the next couple days!! Bright Blessings to Everyone and I shall return!!

Sunday 10-12- 2014 Nightmares or Personal Haunting? Please read, share, and comment!

So did anyone see the eclipse we had recently ? I missed it, much to my annoyance it has done nothing but rain here for days and that morning it was clouded over and I couldn't see anything. Today I got drenched walking to the store,and walking into the store looking like a drowned cat is seriously not my thing!! I have not done any spell work or anything recently, I really haven't felt up to it, my energy just feels low and I also have ridiculous amounts of other errands to keep track of and I get something done and still have 20 other things to finish, so can we say frazzled?! I am also stressing about the lack of spare finances at the moment, every half a penny I have is going to bills that I almost can't pay and nothing else and I feel very strapped. Goddess and God could bless me with some full time work and I would be very grateful right now!


Anyways, onto witchy matters, Samhain is coming and the veil is thinning, how many of us have had increased instances of enhanced sensitive awareness via dreams, scrying, divinatory practices, and spiritual or "paranormal" activity? Here we have had some lightning storms and that is known to stir up energy that spirits, ghosts, and other entities can use to manifest their presence into the living side of the veil.  Myself being a Highly Sensitive Person, I have noticed a strong change in the spiritual atmosphere here at home and other places I have been, I always get that scalp tingling sensation and all of my internal sensors perk up when I know something or someone is roaming around. As we approach Samhain, the veil is going to become wide open and we will see, feel, and experience all types of things that go bump in the dark! One of my personal Samhain observances is that I make a point to set up my scrying and divination tools, set up a small altar made specifically to honor and invite spirits into my space, a ritual offering is usually set up on a side table and somewhere in the room I set up a voice recorder. This is the best night in all the world to do paranormal investigating!! I am a huge fan of the "Ghost Hunters" show. Conducting my own experiences with the paranormal is a side hobby of mine and every year on Halloween I do some kind of ritual work and do a bit of paranormal investigating. To date I have not actually captured any voices on the recorder but I have heard noises and other forms of contact and have had the experience of strong awareness of spirits in my immediate space, I have been touched and I have seen a few things that were definitely not my imagination!  Woe is me I do not own a good video recorder yet!! You're about to find out why I need one in a minute....


However this year is going to be different, I am taking my son out with some friends to a few neighborhoods for candy and a bit of fun, and I am going to leave the ritual table and scrying tools set up and the sound recorder running while I am gone until I get home, I am very curious to see if anything happens while I am gone for a few hours. I might strategically set up one of my phones to act as a video recorder to see if that will get me anything. Why am I doing this you ask?  Well I have had this issue going on with my son who is 12, as of May 2014, he has abandoned his bedroom entirely claiming up and down with vehement unwavering conviction that there is someone or something in his bedroom at night while he is trying to sleep, and according to him, only person can see or hear it is him. Trying to get him to conquer his near paralyzing anxiety and fear of sleeping in his own bed again is near impossible, and all attempts of mine to get him to sleep in there results in screaming, crying, and complete emotional meltdowns from him and I have tried everything I know to get him over it.   I have tried blessing and cleansing the room twice, cleaning every surface ceiling to floor, rearranging the furniture, and everything I can think of, he still refuses point blank to sleep in there.


 I hesitate to involve any other outside sources of help at the moment, firstly my "family" is of no help or support, the first thing I was accused of was "conjuring something" in my house and I got this evil eyed glare and finger pointing so the guilt and blame was centered on me as if I somehow have something to do with it, this really did not help considering my son was listening to the whole conversation I was having with them at the time and of course he was then inclined to believe them over me, and looking at me with doubt, suspicion and skepticism that anything that I was going to do and the fact I am a witch was not going to help him and yes that really hurt my feelings. Oh sure try and destroy and belittle my own child's faith in me to protect him. Let me say now for the record that I really and truly despise and detest Baptists and all forms of so called high and mighty "Christian" faith, or at least those that want to sit there and slander, berate and demonize their own family and make problems ten times worse than what it should be. There are probably great people that are of Christian faith but to this day I have not met one at least where I live anyways. The "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" mentality is alive and well here.  I really don't want the local clergy of any kind involved and there isn't many people I know that shares my of spiritual practice or beliefs that I can ask right this minute to help me out. Now the only thing I know to do is set up the recorders and other things, and start investigating a bit to see what, if anything, is really going on. I am reserving a final judgment and opinion on the whole matter until I see or experience proof with my own 6 senses that what my child is possibly experiencing is really and truly bona fide there and not just a wild conjuration of a overactive imagination and somehow he has scared himself silly. I can actually say for a 100% fact that hat he is experiencing is truth or not yet, so I am maintaining a bit of healthy practical common sense and grounded realistic views of this right now.          


The supposed person, entity, ghost, spirit, or what or whomever is bothering him, apparently stands next to his bed, breathes audibly, shuffles around the room, moves the bedcovers, and lurks in the doorway. I personally feel and sense nothing in the room when I go in there either during the day or nighttime for anything. However my poor kid is utterly convinced there is something in there that is going to get him if he so much as goes near his bed at night. He claims if I enter the room "it" leaves, and when I leave the room it comes back in, there has yet to be a form or shape described of what this thing or person may be, just the overwhelming sense that there is something there with him and it seriously unnerves him and terrifies him to the point of where he will sit hunkered in the floor and bawl his eyes out at the idea of having to sleep in there.  We did not ever have this problem up until May 2014. He started coming into my room crying and very upset claiming that something was in there, this isn't something he has ever done while we have lived here. The only other time he has done something like this was when he was two years old and we had just moved into a new house and he had horrible screaming nightmares that he couldn't describe because he couldn't talk well then and eventually it subsided and disappeared. But for the 3 1/2 years we have lived here in our apartment he has slept in his bed, gone to bed on time and slept through the night, no problems whatsoever up until May. I am not yet sure if he has had a very upsetting nightmare, or something has actually happened in there to scare the wits out of him and he refuses to confront this or have any self power over it himself to help himself conquer his problem, I realize his refusal to face down his fear is not helping and is only exaggerating the issue and he is refusing to listen to me about anything to do with it, he would rather sit there and allow it to be what it is, block it out, ignore it, and just not sleep in his bed at all, and I have to say this is frustrating for me both as a spiritual practitioner and as a parent. Anyone that may know of ways to help me out with this or can refer me to someone that has more experience with this I would gladly appreciate hearing about it, I am open to any and all suggestions that I haven't yet tried. Goodnight everyone and Bright Blessings!

Friday 10-3,-2014

Hello to all my lovelies and I apologize fervently for the delay, due to no internet at home I have been seriously behind on everything and now I have way too much work to be catching up on. I just got service restored today so now I can get back everything that has been so sadly neglected! This Full Moon on October 8th, is in the sign of Aries and it is also a eclipse so any magic done during this time is going to get a fiery boost from the hotheaded warrior sign. Work that we do during and after this time may blast off towards the stratosphere of success, but also so might family matters that come to a head like a raging volcano. Eclipse energy affects and shapes the next 6 months of our lives so be careful about suddenly deciding to end a relationship, walking out of your job, moving out of your homes, or any rash and impulsive decisions , as the Aries sign is notorious for occasionally doing things in a reckless and fired up manner. However, occasionally these sudden impulse hothead decisions also have their upsides, we may finally get enough fire in our blood to do the right thing for ourselves to change and transform a situation in our lives that no longer is good for us. Some of us will get a fire lit under our arses and finally get those long over due projects done at home and at work and suddenly we might finally go for something or someone we have been wanting in our lives for a good while but have not had enough guts until now to go for it.




I intend to use the fire energy to get more writing in my books done, I might actually get them done if I put in enough time and effort. I need this exhausted slug mode to disappear so I have the will and energy to actually get this done I have seriously put it off too long!  I will also be renewing my efforts to find a full time 40 hour a week job. I have not had a full time work schedule since October 13, 2013 and I'm getting a bit frustrated with going hand to mouth on itty bitty sales and the occasional commissions from my online work sites.  Being self employed is not always what it's cracked up to be even if the pros outweigh the cons. I enjoy being self employed but on the other hand I wish somehow I could hit a jackpot with pay. I made a horrible mistake to my Amazon a-store, I was trying to edit a category page and I ended up deleting the entire contents of the page and now I have to go back and re-add every damn piece of it! But maybe this wasn't just my screw up, perhaps a sign I actually needed to fix it to start with? I normally don't make mistakes that bad.  I am going to go for now my lovelies I have a ton of work to be doing and the full moon is coming so if I want to see something manifest I need to hop to it and get busy!!  Bright Blessings to all!

9/18,/2014

So I'm going to share what happened to me for the Full Moon, I only got to see the moon rise and then I had to hurry up and get inside it came a big storm here and I got to collect about 2 gallons worth of super charged water, clean rain water collected during a Full Moon is really great for scrying, blessing, and cleansing. It was also blessed by the intuitive energy of the Pisces sign so I will probably be using it for a lot of divination work. I have it stored in a huge gallon pickle jar and some very clean wine bottles. I have not done any spells or ritual work since the Friday before the Full Moon, I have been concentrating on more domestic areas of my life.


I have been busy with slowly working on my books, housework, and doing my usual shopping and bill paying. A close friend has returned to my life and I am quite happy with that development. I was seriously thinking that things between us were not going to get better then God and Goddess decided to apparently intervene and change that suddenly. I have noticed the change in the weather, it is suddenly cooler now and I have the strongest urge to sleep more, I just feel really drowsy and sluggish and getting myself out of bed has become a herculean task, I spend literally half the day trying to stay awake long enough to get chores ,errands, and other things done because my brain is shouting at me to just go back to  bed. I also find myself in the kitchen cooking stuff like the homemade chili I made today. Autumn brings about ideas of hearty, thick, homemade comfort food and the weird desire to find a blanket, my coffee, and pile up and hibernate.  That is way out of sync with the workaholic get it done Capricorn nature!


I guess the next project at home is to dig out the cool weather gear. It dropped to 40 here last night, a 20 degree difference from last week. We here in Tennessee don't usually see that until October and everyone is talking about the Farmer's Almanac predicting a very cold winter. So I'm gonna be busy this weekend with grocery shopping, more errands, cleaning the house, and more writing. this is going to be a short post as there is not yet anything witchy to update. So for now Bright Blessings to All!

September Full Moon.

The Full Moon is in Pisces this Monday on the 8th. Pisces is the sign of deep intuition, fantasies, daydreams, and dreams, so don't be surprised if you catch yourself off on cloud nine daydreaming or fantasizing, or  just falling asleep out of nowhere and then waking up from having some deep and interesting dreams. This might make getting work done a bit challenging and distracting as some of us may feel hazy minded or in a fog of confused disorientation, some people don't take well to Pisces energy, emotions and feelings can be watery, such as having sudden crying fits and being more sensitive and touchy than usual. It is good for us that we stop to examine our mind's far out there musings and go with the flow emotionally and spiritually because it leads to inspiration and reflection. I already had one dream today and I have to say it was rather strange considering the situation and person I saw in it. I will definitely be paying attention to my dreams for the next few weeks as Full Moons affect the events in our lives in the two weeks after they occur. I feel that most of the work I will be doing this weekend is going to focus on psychic awareness and dreams and other Sensitive and Receptive themes.


 I did my money spell tonight and I actually got to do it on the right day this time so hopefully that will get me some good results. I also charged up my charm bags and jars for love, money, and my psychic enhancement bag. It seems this was the Friday to do the important parts I needed to do for magical working. The love and money drawing charm bags got a extra boost this time because I took the time to take everything out of them, inspect it all for wear or damage, washed down the crystals to cleanse them of spiritual debris, and refreshed everything with new oils, powders and magnetic sand. This is recommended at least twice a month to replace old, worn, damaged and "dirty" stuff in your bags. Powders and oil lose scent and go stale so they have to be regularly replaced, crystals need periodic cleansing so they keep a charge and still work properly.


Today while I was at the local spiritual supply shop I found two obsidian polished stones that have see through inclusions in them. They reminded me of eyes for some reason and I thought that was interesting. One has a round transluscent spot in the enter of it that really does resemble a eye, and the other one had a brownish clear band running through it. If you hold them to the light just so you can pretty clearly see through both stones. Obsidian is sometimes used for divination to make mirrors and crystal balls from. I also got more incense, this time it was "Love Shack" and "Honey" and both smell fantastic, and I found a bag of loose leafed white sage for a dollar.          

Speaking of the Pisces full Moon, I just so happen to have a bottle of Anna Riva's "Pisces" oil, which is meant for dreams and intuition according to the label description, so a few drops of that along with some Astral Travel, Dream, and my own personal blend went into the bag  along with a fresh pinch of herbal powder and magnetic sand. I am inspired to create a Dream Jar, a spell jar for us that are Empaths, and Sensitive Receptive types. I think I will do that tomorrow and post about it. Also today at the pharmacy I found a fantastic blank sketch pad that is the perfect size to make spell papers out of. 70 pages of medium weight 6x9 nice paper for $2.89 is a steal as parchment paper can get expensive to keep stocked up on. The pad caught my eye and I just had to have it, so now when I am in need of decent spell paper I know where to go find it!  I am going to disappear for awhile I have to get some sleep it is 2:30 am here. Bright Blessings to All and I shall return soon!

Virgo New Moon

The new moon falls in the sign of Virgo today. This is a great time to start new projects and get work done that has been lagging behind as Virgo is not one for slacking and is the sign of perfectionism. As for me,  I am hard at work catching up on writing, working on my online job sites, I am also revamping my Amazon store called Blackwolf's Pagan Emporium and re-adding newer products and organizing them better. Feel Free to take a look for now there are plenty of books and some Divination products to choose from for the time being until I add more stuff!
 I have also been helping  others with their online work on my All Solutions Network  site of which I currently have 10 people to manage. Want to join and make some money with me? See here>>AllSolutionsNetwork.  I have had 10 other things to do this week, paid bills, went shopping, inspectors came to my apartment for annual inspections, then I had to ready my daughter for the bittersweet trip back to Maine with her father. she lives with him 9 months a year, and my visitation time with her is brief and it felt like I only had here with me a couple weeks instead of 2 months. All too soon I am saying emotional goodbyes and going back to a quiet house and too much empty free time. Mrs. New Moon is gonna fix that for me, I have a lot of work to catch up on.






Now onto witchy topics.. I bought two bottles of sampler sized spiced Rum that was $,50 a bottle, and two cigars, for a Saint Holy Death spell I am going to work on. The owner at the package place has a crew working on the store and they are expanding it, so I didn't stay long to see what else they had I just grabbed something suitable and left. I do hope Her Holiness likes her gift as I didn't exactly have time to find a specific brand of alcohol or cigars. I already have everything else I need for offerings so I think I am all set. I need plain white paper for writing spells but that has to wait until next week when I get paid again. Tonight I am going to re anoint and powder all of my charm bags, jars and other in progress spells, I carried my road opener and protection bags with me today and all of my paths were clear, traffic wasn't a problem to navigate and I was not bothered while I was out running around. i am going to go for now, it's 7pm, and I have to set up for tonight, Bright Blessings to everyone!

Starting a Pagan Crafts Business

I have had this idea on my mind for a long time and I do not know where to begin. I have always wanted to own and operate my own Craft and Ritual supply shop or business featuring my own handmade and handcrafted oils, powders, spells, and supplies. I have spent 16 years learning my craft and how to create my own supplies, tools, and other necessities. and I feel I should make them available to the magical communities. Many of you have seen some of my personal spell work and recipes on here and these are hand made no artificial ingredients or synthetic anything unless specified. I realize starting a business like this takes a lot of money and effort but I am willing to put forward what I have and see what happens. I am going to start small and maybe list some things on Amazon and on Google and other social sites I am associated with to see what kind of response I get. I intend to make everything affordable and reasonably priced. How many times have I seen things listed for prices that are ridiculously expensive and sometimes these products are fake, synthetic, or cheaply made!  If you are going to pay a price for something then it should be from a serious crafter and made with quality and attention to their work and I am one of few that really does put effort , time, and intention into my work and everything I do!  I have done work for individual people in the past and someone mentioned to me I should make it a business or a profitable venture.   


So let me give you all a rundown of everything I know how to create and do and see what ya'll think..suggestions and ideas for other things are most welcomed!!




1: Ritual Oils, made from pure 100% herbal and oil ingredients and the herbs, roots and other ingredients are left in the bottle. Individually made 1oz and 2oz bottles and generous portions so you have plenty to do awhile! Price $5.00 per bottle    




2: Hand sewn and beaded or plain spell and mojo bags, made with cotton fabric, occasionally hand dyed, and leather cording, all colors, sizes tiny to large. Individual beading of runes, names, or wording or designs upon specified request Small is $1.50 medium and larger sizes are $3.00 for plain and unadorned. Beaded and designed bags are all $5.00 each.  




3: Herbal supplies, incenses, powders and coarse mixtures, from my own personal recipes. Many types of Love, Money, Luck Banishment, Reversal, Protection, even the dark sides of magic. Again, made in large sized individual batches intended for a good while of use! I have had many compliments on these about how great they smell and the generous sized portions. $5.00 per individual batch made.  




4: Personally and ritually crafted spell jars and bags for nearly every purpose and need, love, money, psychic, banishment, protection, reversal, even darker themed magic. All work is done during the specific moon times and during specific days or observances of specific Gods,Goddess, and deities, of your choice. These are made with specific ritual herbal and powder ingredients, oils, stones, charms, and a personally written spell paper for the customer in Theban script, Either the jar is sealed with a ritual candle or the bag is charged in a candle ritual dedicated to charging the bag. you will not see anything fake or unnatural in these! personal instructions on care and use are also included. Mojo bags will be $10.00 each and jars will be $13.00 each.




5: Hand poured and ritually charged candles, these are usually medium to large candles, made with woven cotton linen wicks and strongly colored wax, they are easier to pour and inscribe with spells, and come in all colors and are either plain or inscribed with your requested intention and your personal information upon request. I can add infusions of oil and herbs to the candles upon request. All candles are $5.00 each.




6: I am undecided yet on spell kits, these require a lot of ingredients and supplies and are occasionally expensive to make and ship out, I may offer these at a later time if potential customers display a interest or if someone requests one. we are talking up to $30.00 worth of supplies and  materials and then there is the cost of shipping. if anyone would like to have one made we can discuss the price and etc privately.




7: Fabric dolls and poppets made for specific spell work. Money, Love, Reversal, Banishment, Protection, any need and usage requested, all colors, and male or female or plain. Including personal spell cast on them, they are stuffed with ritual ingredients and materials, and provided with a bottle of ritual oil or powder and written instructions for further use. Spells and rituals for these are done per customer specification as these require a bit of personal information in order to be done properly. Dolls will be $10.00 each.   




8: More products and services will be added depending on customer desires and requests!!   





Now as of yet this is a dream and idea of mine..I am looking into options of how to set this up and get it running (amazon vendor site?) and most likely I will be running this business from my home and through my email and doing personal phone, email, and priority service mail orders and shipping the orders from my home address until I can afford a shop space and etc. I also need a bit of funding to get this off the ground as some of these supplies for the handmade products and materials gets a bit pricey. occasionally I will have to order ingredients and supplies from other vendors and suppliers and sometimes this can get a bit steep financially. I only know of a few personal favorite places of mine that let me have my wares for a decent price!





I have a lot of pictures of the work I have done located here on my other google site page..

Crow left me a gift yesterday.. and New money Spell.

I went out to the store today, and saw my friend the crow that lives near my apartment complex, its a particular bird, it has been here since I moved in this apartment for the last 3 years and every time it sees me out anywhere is starts cawing and making the loudest racket. and I usually see it once or more a day. I'm pretty sure it has a nest in one of the huge pine trees a ways off from my house. I took my daughter to the store about 1pm today, heard my friend cawing in the distance, I smiled and went on my way, that bird gives me comfort that I am being watched over and guided, as crows are know so famously for in many myths, magical traditions and folklore around the world. The crow is one of my spirit animals, along with the wolf or its relative the dog. Everywhere I go I see a crow or have some kind of contact with one and sometimes I swear its the same exact crow that lives near my house.. many times I have had a dog of some kind just wander up to me from nowhere to be petted or it follows me around for awhile or just suddenly comes to my house. most often than not it is usually a large breed and either black or mostly black or a dark color. not hard to see the significance of that..




I bought a $2.00 scratch ticket, cigarettes and soda, on the way home from the store, I went to see a neighbor I had promised to visit, we stayed about two hours. I decided to go down the hill towards my house instead of taking the walk down road back home, I found a crow feather laying in the grass, it's a wing or tail feather, large, blue black, near perfect and glossy , it looks like it was literally plucked out and dropped just for me. upon getting inside I put my feather away, this is the second one I have found and it's the same exact size and shape and color as the first one.  I won $100.00 on that $2.00 ticket and I have to say I am very pleased with that! Later on yesterday afternoon my daughter found a baby bird that has fell out of the nest. Tomorrow I am taking back to its tree so momma can find it.. It's a little brown bird and almost ready to fly, I don't want the cat getting it and I don't want to see my daughter upset if something were to happen to the baby bird that she doesn't understand how to raise and care for. Birds don't belong inside cooped up and kept as a pet, they need freedom.


Today I went and cashed my ticket, the money is going in the bank, I bought a big ticket this time to be drawn on Saturday so I hope I will be blessed again with a decent financial windfall..my Jupiter Blessing spell seems to have taken effect for the moment, and I made the other money drawing jar told you all about two days before the full Moon so here is the recipe and instructions for that..


 Extra Sweet Money Drawing and Business Jar.. done on a Friday before the Full Moon or at the New Moon.


You will need one 8 oz jar with a flat top lid. I used a empty large chip dip jar.


2 mini green chime candles, anointed and powdered with your choice of money drawing oils and powders. you can inscribe them with words of affirmation that you wish to see financially, "job" raise" "lottery": for example.



1 specifically written spell paper for financial aide and endeavors.


$6.66,  in 6 dollar bills and .66 in change, and yes I know some people don't like this number or its supposed significance but that was the inspiration that came to me and that was what I used. you can use either $5.55 or $7.77 if that suits you better. one part must be paper money and the rest of it change.

Roots and materials: 1 High John root small, or a piece of one, 1 piece of Jezebel Root
7 Job's Tears, 1 whole buckeye nut, 1 piece of Blue Flag Root or a generous pinch of the root that has been shredded. 7 pieces of Patchouli Root,1 piece of Master Root,1 strand of Devil's Shoestring,1 Lucky Hand Root whole, 1 Salep Root whole,1 whole Nutmeg, a large piece of  lodestone. all of these roots represent luck, success, money, and the drawing of it from various sources.


Herbs:  7 Allspice berries, 1/2 tps Basil, 5 whole bay leaves 1/2 tps. Calendula flowers
1/2 tps Chamonile, 1/2 tps  Dill, 1/2 tps Ginger, 1/2 tps Cinnamon, 1/2 tps Bergamont
1/2 tps  Lemongrass, 1/2 tps Cinquefoil aka Five Finger Grass, 1/2 tps Wintergreen leaves, 1/2 tps Gumbo File powder, 7 whole Juniper Berries, 1/2 tps grated lemon and orange peel. 1/2 tps Parsley flakes. 1 handful of powdered sugar, and a large bottle of pure preferably raw honey.


Take your spell paper and money, and place the spell and the paper money and change flat in the bottom of the jar, followed by covering the paper and money with all of the herbs, and then place the hard roots and other materials on the top to weight it all down. The way the herbs and roots layer and shift around in the jar don't matter, so longs a they basically secure the money and spell in the bottom of the jar. Anoint this jar and the contents with 7 drops each of Money drawing oil, Magnet oil, Wage Increase oil, Black Cat oil, Attract Customers oil, and any other oils that you have meant to draw money to you, there needs to be at least 5 to 7 kinds of oil and 7 drops each. Pour over this entire mixture in the jar with enough honey to completely cover everything and if you want to fill the rest of the jar full that is fine too. I used the oils that I have plus two handmade ones that I already had for a total of 7 kinds of oils . screw the cap on the jar, and sit it inside a fireproof plate or metal pan, Attach your chime candles to the top of the lid, and light them. The burning candles seal the magic and the intentions inside the jar and the honey and powdered sugar act as a preservative and a drawing agent, make you financial life extra sweet!!


As I wrote above.. I apparently had success with this jar and the Jupiter Blessing spell, I was totally not expecting to win that $100 ticket!! And the same day some more money arrived in the mail and I am due a bit more coming in soon. I made my jar to attract money and business wealth since I am self employed and my money comes from commissions and other types of pay. You can vary this spell to suit your needs such as a raise at work or a better job and so forth.

Another Addition to Full Moon August 10th work.

Tonight I am going to charge up the previous spell I wrote about again, while I was working on the candles and papers for that, a sudden inspiration struck me to make another honey jar for better business/money drawing aspects. so at the moment that is what I am doing, taking a money drawing jar I already had made some months ago, and creating a brand new enhanced jar from it, further empowering what is already there. I will post what I did to it later as I am not done formulating and adding stuff into it. I will do the working for that jar spell on the actual full moon as I have to finish the Saint Martha/Holy Death  spell first before I start the Money Jar,  This is going to be a very bright and strong full moon also called a Super Moon and the brightest and biggest one for this year so I decided why not go big or go bust this weekend. I have to anoint, charge, and set out all of my usual bags, jars, charms, tools, and etc this weekend so I may as well get it all while I am working at it and make this weekend a big one. I am gonna be very tired from raising three kinds of energy and working on three types of spells in one whole weekend but hopefully it will be worth it all later!








So a dominating and influential person in my life that I know called me today.. and I received a sign of something relating to the Saint Martha Dominator /Holy Death spell I am working on too..they asked directly and specifically about someone and mentioned their name and if I had heard from or seen them lately because I never mention them anymore. Hello direct sign of positive affirmation right there!!! I swear I wanted to do a happy dance right there but I kept my enthusiasm in check for now. It's just a small sign for the moment but hardly ever do I receive direct and clear signs and synched correlations to spells like that, and as soon as not even two days later. That tells me I am on the right track for the moment and things are hopefully moving in a positive direction. I wanted to update this so everyone knows whats going on, I really do have to go and finish my new jar.  


I started and finished the Saint Martha/Holy Death petitions tonight and for the last time, the candle meant for uncrossing and reversal burned the fastest, while the candles for the honey jar burned steady, and the candle to remove and destroy blockages and problems was also steady to burn. Papers were consumed immediately. this is the last time and day/night to petition, the Full Moon is tomorrow and all work for a moon cycle has to be finished by then, and I have to wait a week to begin something new. th next thing to work on will be my new Money Drawing jar. I will post the directions for that tomorrow,  for now everyone I have to say goodnight and Bright Blessings.

Work done for Full Moon August 10th, 2014

Yes I am two days early, but I am starting the ritual work now, petitioning for three days/nights until the actual Full Moon. It took me all day to write 3 papers, and carve and fix 4 candles and lay out the table like I wanted.  This Moon's work is for Reversal and Road Opening and a positive change in a path that is blocked and very stagnant in my life. The chosen Deities and Saints for this one are Saint Holy Death and Saint Martha the Dominator. Both are very good to work with for reversal, removal of obstacles and problems, and restoring peace and balance into a person's life and life situations, especially where things regarding the home, love, relationships and personal matters are blocked, stagnant, falling apart, or seemingly cursed, jinxed, hexed, or being negatively manipulated and impacted in some way. Saint Martha and Saint Holy Death are well known to return wayward lovers, husbands and partners, or to get rid of them so you can move on, and to restore peace and balance in relationships and the home life, and get rid of relationship issues and problems and open up the paths for more positive change and destroy and reverse the bad things happening in your love or personal life, and home life, or change what is not happening into something more positive and beneficial for you and others. This can be removing the person that is causing your problems from your life or changing something between them and you from a negative to a positive and it become a more open situation or change the negatives impacting your  home and personal life into a more positive and meaningful outcome.


When invoking Saint Death for any ritual it's important to have a controlling and protective Saint or spirit involved too, in order to keep Death's Scythe in check, as this IS Death you are asking for a favor and sometimes she can play havoc with your situations and yours and others' lives if she is not kept on a spiritual leash of sorts. You can't summon a Death spirit and expect it to just go along with whatever you ask and you are not the controller of her will and desires to begin with, so yes asking another protective and dominating force to tag along with her and keep her from swinging her scythe too vigorously and destructively is a necessity. Why do I like and favor Holy Death so much? Actually she seems to favor me and I still don't know why. Every time I call on her I usually get a strong result and thus far everything I have asked of her, she has given the result I asked for and pulled through for me, and apparently she has no real preference about what path or tradition her petitioners follow? Saint Death is supposed to be a patron Saint figure of Santeria and other similar spiritual practices and traditions that incorporate her. I am not specifically affiliated or well versed in those arts yet when I ask Madame Death to aide me, well she listens. Apparently something about me she either likes or favors in some macabre way so who am I to argue?    


Tonight's work seemed favored, my candles burnt really well, particularly the red one regarding Reversal, and the red one that was sitting on top of a honey spell jar I made burnt really fast and was half gone before the pink one had a chance to catch up. At one point the drippings of the pink and red candles melded together in the center while the candles were burning. I made a honey jar to sweeten up the effects of the Saint Martha Petition, as she can be a bit dominating and fierce and stern about things when she wants to be. I took the red candle's quick burning as a sign that one outcome that I asked for will come faster and stronger than the other, which is fine because both were for positive change. The Reversal and Road Opener candles were sitting in a bowl that was placed in front of the Saint Death candle and those burnt bright and steady all the way down. again this was a good sign because that indicates that for the moment both sides of the situation should work equally. Death's scythe will swing wide and steady in both directions,hopefully clearing a good path. All the spell papers went to ash immediately upon being lit without any aide of oils or powder applied to them I had to hurry and stick them in the cauldron to keep my fingers safe! When you have fast burning paper spells that don't smoke a lot, that is a good sign too as that indicates that the message was sent immediately without too much delay.


I am going to repeat the petition two more times, for me, it seems that making the request and repeating the steps of the petition and ritual three times in a row seems to deliver a very good result and delivers a stronger impact. I will post again on the Full Moon to tell of any results I have noticed, and again later, after between 3 and 21 more days have passed. Usually after 3 months if there is not and significant or positive change at all then the work is best left alone and the situation needs to be moved on from and forgotten. Goodnight all and Bright Blessings!

Some results from July 26th.

So I now have a couple results from the Jupiter blessings Spell I done recently. I got my ASN earnings however it was not as much as I anticipated and then I turned around and got my monthly income check in the mail which was a couple days early I was not expecting it until Monday. I have to say I am pleased so far and this is a positive sign, now let us wait until the August 10th Full Moon to see what else pops up.




On a rather not so pleasant development, I discovered that a Love Honey jar that I had sitting on my dresser has spoiled, I picked it up to inspect it, because I noticed that it looked bad and the contents inside it was very disturbing looking , and the whole inside of it, ingredients, and everything else inside the bottle, was a nasty looking black sludge and smelled really soured. Honey does not spoil, turn black, or anything else and strong alcohol usually acts as preservatives so this spoilage of any type of spell jar containing honey is a bad sign. The entire contents of the jar and the jar itself have been discarded and now I have to say that I am very suspicious and a bit alarmed at this development as it strongly reminds me of something else that is not going well in my life and has not been for awhile, perhaps I just now received a clear sign of just why that may be. The spell jar was made specifically for just me and contained no other information or personal effects inside of it aside from just for myself, and made to draw sweet and loving things and people into my life, so the fact that it has spoiled makes me curious about what or whom maybe has influenced this development.






I am not a overly suspicious person, I am a practical, grounded, and logical common sense person about many things, however when it comes to my spell work and things to do with that, I keep close tabs on it and pay close attention to developments especially when they seem to be off or disturbing in some way. As a counter active defense against whatever has gone wrong I have decided to anoint and powder both my Uncrossing bag and my Protection bag, even if I do not yet know what it is and where the problem has came from, there is now very obviously a trick or something been played or somebody has been running their yap in a bad way and even harsh words can "spoil" something for you. Tomorrow I am going out to the store and see about getting a few things I need to create Uncrossing oil as I am almost out.


This is going to be a short post, the next Full Moon is coming up and I have some work to do and I have few days to get it done if I want to see some results. Bright Blessings to All and I shall return soon!!

New Moon Jupiter Blessing Spell Completed. July 26, 2014

I just finished the Jupiter's Blessing Spell I wrote about in the last post and I have to say I think it went well, I got a nice warm tingly sensation for a good while which in my experience indicates to me that a positive energy response was given. The candles burned well and I even had my daughter sitting there watching most of what I did, and I answered questions as I went along such as "Why do spirits like incense?" and "How do you make everything in the bags smell so good?" Interesting mother- daughter time well spent and inquisitive and curious is the Gemini child. So anyways, Jupiter is in the sign of Leo until the next Full moon, so abundance and increase in financial and romantic matters is in store for most everyone. The last couple of days I have seen a increase in signups in one of my work from home sites so that is a positive sign. I will see what else happens in the next couple weeks as I carry around my new charm bag that is now currently sitting against my computer screen and will be carried everywhere I go for the next two weeks along with my other bags. I will update soon to tell of any results.  






 On a whim I decided to charge up and place new anointments of oils and powders into my other charm bags I use since it is the New Moon. I still have the tingly sensation on my scalp and it feels like someone is touching my hair on the left side of my head. Tomorrow I am going to work on my Protection, Uncrossing, and Astral Travel Divination charm bags, they need their crystals cleansed and new herbs and etc. added to them too. Crystals for Protection, Astral Travel and Divination purposes need to be kept clean and charged a lot because the receive and project a lot of energy. You cant dream or have clear dreams or have a clearly receptive mind if your crystals are full and clogged with too much Receptive debris. You also cant use Empath and Sensitive abilities too well if your charm bag that contains your energy is overloaded with energy and you cannot block or channel anything correctly. Protective crystals absorb a lot of negativity and they will not project a protective aura properly if they have been used too long between cleansing and the result can lead to all types of dangers getting to you that you do not want.






My Protective charm bag still has a potent scent of herbs and roots inside it but the crystal has been used too much. The Uncrossing/Road Opening bag needs a fresh doing over period. I'm going have to make a trek over 7 different crossroads and one cemetery and gather a spoonful of dirt from each one just for that! I know that sounds insane and a lot of work and time involved but the point of going to that length is to be protected from all dangers spiritual and physical during your journeys and all roads and paths of any type will open to your approach and passing. It also serves to keep your spiritual path clear of problems, dangers and obstacles too and to uncross and open blocked spiritual paths that you need pass through. Any type of spirit, person, or situation that attempts to cross you in a negative way it will not work or be sent back to them.


I am tired now my energy is wearing off and I am going to bed for now. I will update very soon when I see results from tonight until the next couple of weeks. Bright Blessings Everyone!

July 13,2014 Jupiter's Blessing Spell

I came up with a new spell today, this one is going to be special and I have not tried this one yet but I am posting it for others that would want to try it too and later we can all compare results if we want. I am thinking about using it very soon in the next couple of weeks as Jupiter, the Great Benefic, planet of gifts, luck, expansion, material and financial success and all things wealth and abundance, is about to shine its beams onto everyone's life in the next two weeks, peak days being the 16th and 24th and 26th of July.


According to Susan Miller and her Capricorn horoscope, this is when, at least for me and my fellow Capricorns, the greatest gifts of financial success and abundance are supposed to be manifesting the fullest, for me and others in my sign this will possibly be the luckiest and most profitable and expansive days for the rest of the year and this trend of abundance, especially in work and job related matters, and other people's money, due to Jupiter's influence is going to continue until August 11th 2015. To see your Susan Miller horoscope, which I highly recommend as she is a awesome forecaster, go to this page Astrologyzone  and click on your sign and read more to see what Jupiter's influence is going to be doing for you. I hope Y'all are going to have some time to read tonight as this is going to be a lengthy post.


However..I strongly suggest and caution anyone to NOT DO this spell if you have literally nothing financially and especially if you are going through a bad emotional time or in low spirits about something in your life during the time that Jupiter is going to grace our lives,..as Jupiter can be tricky and manifest and exponentially produce more of what you already have that you may not want.. this can literally cause you to bring more of "nothing" in your life and manifest your emotional issues and personal problems by threefold or more.


This is more a spell meant to expand and produce more of the positive things of what you do already have in terms of luck, financial status, work, money, so we definitely do not want more of the things we may have going wrong that we do not need like poverty and being broke, already existing emotional and financial crises and etc.  Jupiter has a nasty habit for increasing what you have by the exponentially excessive degree and sometimes that isn't the greatest thing in the world to have when you do not actually need it!  This spell is better off for those of us who wish to see more hours at work, bonuses and raises in salary, higher commission and royalty payments, more money in our smaller credit and bank accounts, increases in already existing financial statuses and etc.


So if you already have a little bit going for you in these types of areas then you can then ask for a lot more and that would be safe to do. Jupiter can also be asked for love related matters to increase and manifest those areas into something more positive and fulfilling however it seems this time around it is going to be more beneficial for monetary gains for the time being. Asking for your love life to benefit from Jupiter's blessings during this upcoming time would also be a great thing too but I will get to that in the next post and I need to think of a suitable spell to incorporate into the right time frame that will work. What a intriguing idea that is!!        




Also I have to remind everyone that this Jupiter phase we are all about to go through is after the Full Moon and going towards the next New Moon, so actually picking the right time for doing this spell  it would be wise and prudent to wait until the date of the New Moon, so we may start a bright new beginning with Jupiter's influence. The Next New Moon is July 26th. again, read your horoscopes carefully to see exactly when your dates and times for your interaction with Jupiter is going to work best for your sign. I am still going to say that waiting until the New Moon will be most beneficial for the actual spell casting.    


So , onto my new spell which I will call the Jupiter's Blessing Spell, of which the intent is to harness and use the power of the great planets influence to increase your luck and prosperity and expansion in all things financial and of monetary persuasion. The color association of Jupiter is Purple, and some say Dark Blue the number of Jupiter is 4. we will incorporate this number and the purple and blue color association into the spell. Purple conveys power and blue is the color of water and everything that flows like water..as in floods of cash for instance!


You will need:


4 small  purple and blue "chime" or "Spirit" candles, you can use either 4 blue or 4 purple or two of each color, and 1 purple or blue cloth bag,


 1 Lepidolite stone. Lepilodite is associated with Jupiter. I do not yet think there is and  I have not yet found a blue stone related to Jupiter??  


 4 types of coins that add to 4 or into numerical values of 4, such as 4 dimes=$0.40 or 4 pennies, or bills of paper money that equal to a sum of  4's like $4.00 or $40.00 this money has to either multiply into a number of 4's or be added together to make a  exact numerical value of 4. Such as 4 $10.00 bills equals $40.00 and 16 quarters equals $4.00. and $4.44  which would be 4 dimes, 4 dollar bills and 4 pennies. In your written petition to Jupiter, you can ask what you already have to multiply by all numerical values of 4.


To try and divide or subtract your money to get a result of 4's will backfire and this will not work!! You are wanting increase, not decrease!! I am going to be particular and picky about the money part of this spell because it is crucial to the idea that we want to see increase in our abundance!        


A specifically written petition asking for the planetary influence of  Jupiter, requesting your desire to see more of what you want to see happen financially and wealth wise in your life. Say you want more commissions, more royalties, a raise in salary for example. Include your name, birthdate, place of work or business, name of your bank or financial institution, and whatever else you are involved in that you want to see a rise in financial gains.   




4 other charms or personally representative pieces that represent luck, success, money, and abundance to you, such as 4 leaf clovers, horseshoes, money amulets and etc, Whatever you pick out there has to be 4 charms or personal trinkets.   




If you can find or obtain a Second or Seventh Seal of Jupiter, or draw one on a piece of parchment, this will be very beneficial I have seen these made into pieces of jewelry that are a bit expensive for the nicely engraved ones so it would be better and easier and more convenient for now to Google a very clear image and try to copy it onto your parchment, to use as a paper talisman. This would be fantastic to carry in your new bag. If you do not wish to use a Seal then your stones and herbs and your request to Jupiter written on parchment will be sufficient.   


Next you will need your herbal ingredients:
4 whole cloves, crushed.
4 pinches of Cinquefoil aka Five Finger grass
4 Star Anise pieces, or 40 Anise seeds , crushed.
4 dried Dandelion flowers, or 4 small bits of Dandelion Root. shredded/crushed.
4 fresh Maple leaves or pieces of bark, shredded. Please be nice to the tree and don't rip or shred off the bark and leaves without asking!
4 whole Nutmegs, ground or crushed.
4 pinches of White Sage, ground or crumbled to bits.
Grind and sift these together an set aside for the moment.


The herbal and root ingredients of this list can be used to make a Jupiter Blessing Oil and a incense for later uses when Jupiter is also in a favorable position to call on for financial gains. Grind together all herbal ingredients to make a incense, or gently simmer the crushed ingredients into a full ounce of carrier oil and bottle it and allow it to steep for at least 30 days before use and preferably do not use either one of these preparations until Jupiter is in a good position and you will benefit from it and if you really want to use it for money drawing spells please be sure to use it during a new moon and the two weeks after the New Moon approaching the Full Moon.


Now onto the spell instructions:
Cast your circle calling on your quarters and elements and invoking specifically the influence of Jupiter to come forth and bless your work. on your work space or altar, arrange your usual incense, wand, and other tools laid out and a set up a heat safe bowl or cauldron for your paper spell and candles to be burnt .


Take your candles and on each one engrave the symbol of Jupiter, which is resembling the number 4, and write out a small word of affirmation onto each candle such as "cash" or "pay raise" or similar and this number sequence of 4x4x4x4 or use the number 4 and make a tiny exponent of the 4th power onto it. Arrange these into a square formation on your altar table or work space.


Into your bag place your stone, your herbs, money, and charms and place this in the center of your candles.


Take up your written out spell paper or Seal of Jupiter, if you want to use that, and repeat your words on the paper 4 times, with each repetition of your spell paper, or your simple request for Jupiter Seal to bless your chosen endeavor light a candle, starting with the bottom left candle and going around to the last one clockwise, until you finish at the right bottom candle, you are raising energy with each candle being lit and each repeated incantation on your paper. when you reach the last candle and repeat the written spell or request  for the 4th time, light the paper or the paper seal with the fourth candle and allow it to burn to ash.


Allow the candles to burn completely down with your bag lying in the center, this should take at least a hour or longer, as your candles are burning, your bag is being charged in the center of the square and the intention inscribed onto the candles is being released.


After your candles are burnt and everything is done, your bag is now charged and you can carry it with you until on your person or at your work place or where ever it is you need to have your finances and monetary gains increase until the next Full Moon. If you need to see the banker, or credit or loan officers, take it with you there, if you are borrowing money from someone, take it with you to see them. Go to work and have a chat with your boss about a pay raise or negotiating salary changes, play the lottery or buy raffle tickets. Keep it next to your computer or desk when you are working online, and anything else financially related during this two weeks of time.




After that time has passed, you will need to tuck your bag away in a safe place away from anything it can influence financially until you need it again on the next lunar cycle and especially until when Jupiter is again making its rounds into your financial life. You do not want to have this bag in your work space or wherever else when Jupiter is not in a increasing or abundance producing stage in your financial affairs otherwise you might see a decrease or a decline and possibly a disaster in your finances or monetary situations. I will say it is best to watch your calendars and astrology charts and make sure it is a good time to use this particular spell bag just to be absolute sure.
