Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I am back again to update you all on the Full Moon we just had, I hope everyone had a great Solstice and Yule? What a fantastic Full Moon we had recently! I regret that I did not get to enjoy it as much as I wanted. We went to my mom's and right before this, I came down with the coughing croup, courtesy of having to go out in the damp, to do last minute gift shopping. It poured the rain the entire Christmas/Yule holidays while I was at my mother's and I spent the whole time I was over there, in the throes of coughing fits and sleeping off a mild fever and just plain miserable. That was so not how I wanted to spend x-mas with family! We did not see sunshine until yesterday. It has been a beautiful and very unseasonable 75 degrees outside the past two days, however I have been stuck inside since I came back home, either laid up in bed or creeping around the house like a zombie, doped up with OTC medicine so I can somewhat function, one minute I'm freezing and then I'm hot again, and when I get too hot the barking seal coughing starts. Before all this, during the weekend of the 18th, I managed to pull off a request to St Martha and St Holy Death for a favor. As of yet I have not exactly seen any serious signs of my petition being favored or not, unless maybe you count me suddenly coming down with the croup. Today I managed to feel good enough to do some light chores, and clean up some holiday mess, yesterday I made myself do some laundry, because the basket was heaped high with two weeks' worth of clothes. Typical Capricorn me...the second I feel a pinch better, I am back into work and chore mode.
So how many of us got engaged, married, or stepped up commitments in both love and business over the holiday? That was the theme for this past Full Moon in Cancer, relationships in both love and work and financial related endeavors received a sparkling beam of favor from the cosmos on this Full Moon, Whatever you asked for, and whatever transpired for you will continue to manifest in different ways over the next two weeks. New Years is set to be fantastic, some of us may travel for New Year's Eve and enjoy luxurious festivities with our partners in both business relations and with our sweethearts. I am not sure yet what I will be doing for New Year's but I personally hope this cold and coughing goes away so I can at least be in a better mood by then, and I do not ring in the New Year sounding like a half dead frog. Perhaps I will get a midnight kiss, or even maybe a proposal, from a very special someone, that would be a great way to kick off the New year right!
We have Mercury Retrograde coming on January 5th and this is due to last until January 25th, so expect communication and technology breakdowns and all kinds of other slow downs and snafus related to how we relate with others and go back and forward in our daily lives. Work projects and things at home will go slow and have issues too, so expect to see a slow start to the first quarter of the year for business, finances, and work. Do not sign contracts or begin important negotiations during this time either, as they will be fraught with unforeseen problems and snags. Wait until the end of January or the first week of February to resume important talks and sign paperwork, especially tax documents,mortgages, rental leases, credit, or bank loans, and hold off to begin new projects at home and at work. Communications in personal relationships will be slow or non existent too, or perhaps will see major strains during this time, please mind your temper and your patience during the retrograde! My birthday comes smack in the middle of the retrograde phase, (January 18th) so I cannot say that I am too pleased with that notion! Perhaps I will spend my birthday quietly at home, and not going anywhere, or doing anything spectacular, nor speaking much to anyone! We Capricorns in particular are set to have a ridiculously slow and stalled start to the year. I will be back again soon, to update y'all on how things are going, for now though I am going to go and rest and focus on getting over this crud. Blessed Be to all!

Upcoming New Moon 12-11-2015, White Flags and Silver Lined Doorways!
Hello everyone and Brightest Blessings! Today I reached the milestone of writing 100 posts for this blog! It has taken me a couple of years to get this far, and I appreciate everyone that has read, liked,shared, and been with me this whole time! How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was rather short and sweet, I went to my mother's and we had a small meal, and I had to hurry back home, where I live it is not advisable to leave the apartment unguarded or noticeably vacant for too long. I also cannot leave my cat to himself for long either. So my holiday and family time was a short and simple affair, and I spent the rest of the school break enjoying some peace and quiet. Today I started a Wordpress blog, and I am not too sure that I like it much yet. I am still going to be a faithful and dedicated user of my precious Blogger, I have had it too long to just abandon it, and I am sure some of you would miss me if I were to say goodbye to Blogger.
The New Moon that is coming on December 11,2015, promises to be fired up and intense, due to the influence of Sagittarius, and Jupiter forming a squared position, forcing us to see silver lined doorways and finally waving the proverbial White Flag. Remember in the last post, where I mentioned turbulent emotions and potential breaking of bonds and relationships, and possibly having to be walking away from things, people and situations that no longer are good for us? Well that theme and scenario seems set to fully manifest by the New Moon, as this is the time of endings and of new beginnings. I saw a sign of this in my own life just yesterday, when I got a call from a slightly soused relative, who was exclaiming rather loudly and belligerently about how it was that the other narcissistic monster family member has called them repeatedly, and demanding to know if I have been seen or heard from, and supposedly they got into a huge heated and ugly phone argument about my continued absence and deliberate silence. ** upward stare and heavy sigh**
I was reading a horoscope article for Capricorn for this coming week, which directly mentions letting go of things and people that are a source of "irreconcilable differences" on the day of the New Moon. See here >>Capricorn Weekly Horoscope 12-6 to 12-13 I felt this article was pretty spot on with what I've been seeing and hearing for the last few days, and I foresee a lot of light being shed on the darkness. I feel that during this New Moon, some of us will see just how far into the deep end people can sink, and how low people can really act, and how deeply their twisted darkness extends. As the above mentioned horoscope post reads and I quote..." You could learn of someone's toxic intentions this week. Bolt the door on these snakes, even if it means taking legal action to keep them out of your life." Ironically I remember mentioning just yesterday that if anyone brought their madness to my doorstep then I was considering filing a restraining order, I really hope it does not have to come to that! Perhaps I should actually buy a sliding bolt lock to install on the inside of my door, seeing as the flimsy door frame and lock in the doorknob isn't meant to withstand pounding and shoving and a potential forced entry. The door has been seen and known to pop open from the frame even if the door is locked, as the door jamb and the frame is uneven and has settled slightly off.
This New Moon will also be a great time to say good bye for good to any kind of self defeating attitudes, thought patterns and behaviors. either stemming from ourselves, or emanating from others. Do not allow anyone to tell you why it is you cannot or should not do something, or let them stand there in the doorway of your life being the be the Debbie Downer. Don't quit 5 minutes before the miracle and don't talk yourself out of doing something, or let doubts and insecurities cloud your judgement or views, or be allowing others to dump their acid rain on your budding dreams and ideas and plans for something better. Let go of those self defeating ideas and thought patterns and stop associating and being acquainted with people that treat you as if nothing you say and do will matter or be of any importance, see the silver lining and the great things that will open up for you by allowing yourself to let go of the bad situations and irreconcilable differences, and the people and situations that cause them. The reward for letting go of negative things and people, will be watching the silver door that opens wide and beckons to us to follow our most beautiful dreams and achieve the levels of success that we have always aspired to attain. I will leave you all with this post to ponder about, I will return soon to update after the New Moon. Blessed Be to all!

Gemini Full Moon, coming November 25, 2015.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I hope everyone had a great New Moon? If you will recall, I made a new black and green charm bag, and at that time I had not decided what to do with it. I ended up making a Money Uncrossing bag out of it, and it now is nestled in my purse with my other Money Drawing and Financial spell related bags that I have previously done. I carry my charm bags everywhere I go, and they pretty much live inside a pocket of my purse. Did my new charm bag have any effect on my life yet? Well sort of.. I got accepted into various online freelance writing sites, however, my writings, articles, and work that I have so far submitted and pitched to various clients, has been flat out rejected. Only thing I know to say about that is that it is their loss, and I'm sorry they can't bother to take the time to see what good is really right in front of them, I refuse to feel bad for myself or to accept that I am not good enough for someone else's approval or acceptance. There will be someone that approves of me and my work eventually, I just have to find the right person and organization that I can work with.
There is a Full Moon coming on November 25,2015, and the sign it falls in is Gemini. Gemini is a difficult sign and energy to work around and deal with at times, the Twins can be two faced, have very dual personality, and maddeningly Jekyl and Hyde in their actions and behaviors that go from emotional and mental extreme to another at warp speed. The energy is all about push and pull, give and receive, one minute a Gemini can hate you and the next they will decide to forgive you, they will love you for everything you are one day, and the next you are scum of the earth and they will never speak to you again, and sometimes you don't even know what set them off, or if it was anything you even done or said to start with. Their extreme sense of pride is also their downfall, and getting the Gemini to swallow that pride for the sake of common sense, maturity, responsibility, and taking the consequences of their bad behavior and words, admitting to themselves and others that what they might have said or done was wrong or out of line, and persuading them into being a better person for the greater good of themselves and others is a very hard task. Many times, a seething anger and extreme defensiveness is their first reaction to being confronted or called out on the bad behavior.
The energy of this Gemini Full Moon coming up, is going to bring on a lot of conversations this next couple of weeks that are going to be ugly, raw, intense, and brutal, with fault finding, nit picking, brow beating, and woe is me, guilt trips and pity parties. Be looking for Needy Nancy and Debbie Downer,and perhaps Atrocious Anna, the energy this week is gearing up for it, so batten down the hatches, haul in the draw bridges, and fortify the emotional barriers. I all but guarantee some of us are in for a not too pleasant couple of weeks when it comes to some extreme and hard situations and conversations, long over due emotional examinations, and people that threaten to suck you down into their private little holes of dead despair and masochistic/sadistic misery. This might already be happening for some of us right now. Also be looking for the situation of being deliberately left out, blown off, and cut off of gatherings, conversations, and other people's plans and not being told about it until the last minute, or finding out about it later that they never intended to include or involve you at all. Some people are going to be rather selfish and self involved of their own wants and needs and be all about "Me, Myself, and I", and the furthering of their own motives and agendas, and never mind how it might negatively impact or even destroy their other good relationships with others in the long run. Some people think it is better to hurt others and basically cut their own nose off to spite their face, and they callously and ruthlessly do so, as long as it gets them what they think is better for them. Sadly later on, they will realize this was a huge mistake, and they they have done so much damage that it is not repairable.
Don't be surprised if you suddenly decide that you are the one walking away from a person or situation surrounding them, because they just finally acted in such a way as to totally turn you off, and they show a side of themselves in such a shocking, painful, and unexpected way that you just cannot accept or acclimate with it, and you have to just end your associations with them, until if and when they decide to act better or change for the better. Some people might take their attitudes and behavior to the point of no return, and you have to just end your relationship and associations with them permanently. Remember this is a positive thing in it's own way, however painful or regretful it might be, as Goddess and God are showing you what and whom you no longer need in your life and why. this can sometimes be a harsh lesson in how to grow and become a better person for ourselves, it serves a higher purpose, by creating a protective distance and barrier between you and what and whom is no longer good for you, or of any positive role to your life. I personally am going to start the holidays with a huge cleansing and smudging ritual of myself, my home, and especially my sacred space, and add in the protection and grounding elements, because I know exactly what kind of mayhem and madness I am about to have to deal with, and I totally expect to see in my own life some of the things I have mentioned above, as I am already seeing some signs of it coming in my own little world. I a going to try my best to be prepared, and hopefully I will come out of this next two weeks without too many burned bridges and broken walls. hope you all have a good Full Moon Time, and I will return this coming Friday, to tell you all of how my time went.

November 2015 New Moon Work *Update*.
The New Moon of November falls on Wednesday 11-11-2015, and I have completed one of my Seal Up Your Problems, jar spells, and tomorrow I am working on another one for a different result. Saint Holy Death was my choice of spirits to ask for a favor yet again. She does fantastic work about and for removing problems and banishing and reversal work for me! I was going to do both jars tonight but I didn't have enough time before midnight, so the next one will be for later tonight. I suppose I have now become a official devotee of Her Deathly Holiness, or She has decided to stay with me for whatever Her reasons may be. We have a Friday 13th coming right after the New Moon and I'm excited about that too! That will be a great day to ask for new things like money, love, luck, and special favors to come into our lives, as 13 is the number of transformation and transitions from old to new, and the #13 Tarot card is also the Death card. Hmm..endless possibilities for this Friday the 13th indeed!
While working on my spell jar, I opened up a bottle of very potent home made Black Protection Oil, that I have had for literally over a year now, it has sat steeping that long, the color is a deep black and now the scent is very similar to tomcat or skunk spray! Why and how exactly it turned out that strongly, I don't know, it is not spoiled or gone bad that I can tell, but if that stuff don't protect me from negative and harmful influences I don't know what will! Who and what would want to be near you or in your house if they smelled that?! LOL!! Also the Banishing Oil I have has a potent smell, very much like strong garlic, sulfur and some very stout spicy hot vinegar. I have also had that jar for a very long time and it is definitely not safe to inhale directly or possibly get in your eyes or nose on accident because it will make you tear up , sneeze, and go on like crazy. I have watched critters and bugs go around and avoid where the oil and the powder formula has been applied to the house boundaries and doorways, and the scent lingers a good while.
On the actual day and night of the New Moon, I'm going to place my entire focus on obtaining the new job I have my eyes on, and passing that transcription exam that I have been instructed to study about a bit more, if I can ace this test then there will be some good money coming my way very soon! I am also going to work on writing my next book some more..it is slowly getting finished! I am also going to be asking for a boost in my book sales at Smashwords , as I very desperately need to see that happen too! I also had some inspiration strike me and tonight ended up sitting in the kitchen, steadily and patiently sewing and creating a new green and black spell charm bag. I haven't decided yet what purpose I am going to use it for. It might be a smart idea to use it for money drawing and money uncrossing and protection, specifically for this new job I am about to take the exam for, Black and green candles, bags, charms, etc..have a wide range of uses, the black side is used to uncross, protect, reverse, and remove unwanted financial problems, and ward off hex, jinx, curse, and bad luck, and the green side is to bring in more positive monetary intentions such as money flow, success, financial stability, luck, and wealthy pursuits. When I decide what exactly I am using my new bag for , I will post a update and tell y'all what I done with it. for now though, this witch is going to hop off of here, and go finish working on that spell bag! Have a great New Moon and Friday the 13th, I will see you all soon!
Below is a pic of my newest creation...it is not yet entirely finished, but the bag itself is sewn up. I just have to add the leather drawstring, and then add the spell ingredients and etc into it. The fabric is cotton quilt squares,and there is tiny knot work sewn all through the seams. It is black on one side and green on the other. I would learn to use a sewing machine to make these, but I feel the hand stitched method is more magically productive, as you are sewing and knotting your intent with your own hand into the bag, and the whole mechanical process of a electric machine just doesn't provide that.

Doing Things Mamaw's Way.. 11-6-2015
As modern science and healthcare is constantly being revolutionized and "improved upon"..your modern day Dr is going to suggest some standard, book learned ideas and treatments to cure your sicknesses and ailments, treat your elderly and children, and even possibly save your life. They will scoff at and tell you that these Old Wive's tales and Folk Medicines are false and what we have learned for generations from our Old Women holds no value, and how it is that Mamaw's Ways are outdated, a lie, and unconventional. Yes, some of these ideas and remedies have proven to really have no positive effect or hold a serious meaning to better our lives. But let me explain, for a week or longer now, me and my son have had a nasty cold. I ended up buying OTC manufactured chemical medicine for this because well my kid's doctor suggested it..and he has to go to school despite being pretty miserable. Needless to say, despite this artificial quick fix and "good advice" from what is supposed to be a certified professional, we are not yet feeling better. Adam is still coughing and hacking like a half dead seal, and has a sore throat and stuffed up sinuses that show no signs yet of going away. Had I done this Mamaw's Way and NOT followed this "professional's well meaning advice, we would probably be feeling a lot better by now. But alas, I am low on some supplies and some herbs needed to make some good old timey sick cures. Old Mamaw is probably not too thrilled with my slacking on that either..if she were still physically here with us, she might actually smack me upside my head with a wood spoon and scold me about "Girl did you hear, why you not minding me?" Old Mamaw was said to not be too gentle with her version of tough love...she meant what she said and done what she intended without hesitation, and Goddess and "Lawd" forbid she had to find a switch and come looking for you when or if you weren't to be found anywhere or caught slacking and not minding your tasks she said to be doing..there was no "child abuse" back then..it was called "told to mind"..
Our Mamaws and Great Mamaws and the Old Wives long before them, came from the mountains, the "hollers" and hills and way back in the sticks and swamps, and they were curing the sick, and all but raising the dead, (and sometimes they even did that!).. back in the days when schooled and trained doctors didn't really exist and medical science was a fledgling idea. These women could throw a seemingly unmeasured handful of herbs roots,and a assortment of other items, picked and gathered fresh that day from a wild patch, into a well seasoned iron pot of natural spring water,also brought in fresh from the stream or well pump, boil the brew down to a syrup, mix that syrup with a stout shot or two of home distilled 150 proof sour mash liquor, (moonshine) add "a dab" or "a pinch" of whatever else her personal secret ingredients were, give you a unmeasured "spoonful" of her well made cure once a day and night, and whatever sickness you had was sure to be drove out of you within three to seven days.Why? How does this work?: Because the Old Wife or Mamaw made it for you, and she knew exactly what she was doing. Life threatening fevers broke, "ill vapors" and "bad spirits" were sweated out, the blood was purified of taint, rattling, fluid filled, lungs were opened and cleared out, you slept like the dead until you were better. Goddess forbid you had a "bilious fever" because you were given strong emetics and bowel stimulants mixed with castor oil to flush the illness out of both ends until it was seen that you were cured. Yes that is a bit harsh, but it works..where do you think the idea of modern day "Colon Cleansing" and "Detox" remedies comes from?
If actual "haints" or negative spiritual presence was thought to be the cause of the illness, then specialty cures and diagnostics existed for that too and were done in conjunction with the sick cure. the hex, curse, or "evil eye", or the "haint"was cast out and removed via several methods, and was followed by strong bouts of herbal smoke fumigation and other types of cleansing and blessing of the house and people affected. If you showed a knack to learn what Old Mamaw and the Old Wives knew, then you were very lucky and being taught what she knew was a rare privilege. Old Wives didn't read or write well back then, if at all, as getting a advanced education was not as important back then, and everything was shown by hand and passed down by oral sermon, so best that you were paying close attention.
Old Wives were sought out for cures and advice, and the occasional miracle back in the days when no one could help. If you were laid up with the "croup" and your kids and even the livestock and animals were deathly sick, as fevers and communicable illness were life threatening back then, the Old Wife or maybe even Mamaw could make you feel better. If you had bad Moon Times and had problems with certain Fertility Issues and couldn't conceive or carry a child,or even your Husband was afflicted somehow, Old Wife or Mamaw knew where to find the roots and herbs,and other needed items, and what to do with them, to help ease those issues and ensure a healthy pregnancy, and often she was also was there to deliver the baby. If her sour mash liquor looked like crystal clear spring water, had absolutely no taste, and burned bright blue flames when lit with a flame, it was well made and highly prized for it's aide in making medicines and offerings to benevolent and healing spirits, and not just for the Old Man's midnight runs down the road. Especially Blessed were your family and the surrounding households if by chance one of these Old Wives and Mamaws were Native American or Irish either pure blood or by descent, for their special brand of wisdom and knowledge of medicines and spiritual cures was unparalleled back in the day, and in certain places it still is even now. I speak of only a few Southern traditions and that does not mean these Old Wives and Mamaws are only found in the South and are only just Native American or Irish though..I will say that the Old Wives and Mamaws that still thrive in the Appalachian Mountains, are well known for their abilities! There's a kind of magic and medicine that exists there that is found nowhere else on the earth! It is rivaled only by Southern Conjure, New Orleans Voodoo and Hoodoo, and similar practices, with its ability to heal, cure, and work in miraculous ways.
It took me a good while to learn the things that the Old Wives and Mamaws knew that once lived and practiced in my own family..because both passed away long before I was born, and I never got to hear their stories or learn their crafts from them personally. No one in my current immediate family bothered to remember or actively use the skills that were passed along, and now a lot of it has been forgotten or cast aside as "Old Wives Tales" and considered "unreliable, uneducated and backwards thinking" or worse..they were converted to being Baptist or some type of Christian and totally shunned and deliberately cast out and tried to stamp out the "shame" and "sins" of their family's past, and purposely forgotten what they should have kept alive and thriving. Some of the older people from our grandparents generation, still remember bits and bobs about how to garden by the signs, can food, and a few other things.think about "The Farmer's Almanac"..that is literally a book of magical practices that has been very cleverly disguised and how many people use one that would never once think about that idea? I am sure that our ancestors are probably shaking their heads at the younger generations in shame and regret!
I discovered quite early in life that I have the same talent for herbal and spiritual cures and other practices as they once did, and I have endeavored to try and learn and practice and add to them One of my Great Great Grandmothers in mom's family,was Cherokee, her family line comes from the deep coves of Alabama originally. More Old Wives and Mamaws in my family come from the mountains in South Carolina, and they were mostly Irish and German descent. I also got passed the gift of being a Empath and Sensitive, and this particular gift apparently just totally skipped my mom and the rest of the earlier generations before me, this is said to also be a passed down trait from the Old Wives and Mamaws, as a couple of them were known to have the same gift..which is also how it is that I have picked up a few lessons that I know now.
There is learning to be a Witch and then there's some of us that are born a Witch, and despite what others will sometimes try to tell you, being naturally born a Witch is definitely advantageous and comes with a distinct edge over having to learn from everything from bare bones scratch.Yes anyone can learn to harness and use their latent gifts and develop their skills, but those of us that were born with our talents have a far easier time with learning and developing them. I will not tone down the obvious facts.
The Old Wives and Old Mamaw's spirits are far from dead and forgotten, and many times I have found my mind and hands busily working of their own accord in the kitchen to mix a herb with a certain root, or mix this ingredient with that "pinch of" something else, along with plenty of spells, charms, crafts, and other things that I make and create. My own mother often tells me I am "just like her momma" and who is to say that Mamaw isn't still alive in her own way? Mamaw was the one that told my mother that "You won't get to have any babies to live until after I am gone" and her words held true,what she heard, saw, or knew about in regards to that event specifically, well she never would tell anyone. I was born almost a year later right after she passed away, after my mom had went through two miscarriages and was told she couldn't have kids at all.. I know better than to question the way that particular power of the Old Wives and Old Mamaws works. It was always said that some things were best left alone and let be what it was going to be, and never mind the why and how of it, and questioning or expressing any doubts of Mamaw's and the Old Wives words would get you whacked with a spoon or that "old stick" of a inconspicuous looking wand or staff she was using to stir that well used iron pot with! Yeah..there was a very strong chance that mine and your Old Mamaw and the Old Wife was a Witch of some kind, and their descendants live on to this day, way off in the sticks, back in the boonies, deep in the hollers, and high on the mountains.
Our Mamaws and Great Mamaws and the Old Wives long before them, came from the mountains, the "hollers" and hills and way back in the sticks and swamps, and they were curing the sick, and all but raising the dead, (and sometimes they even did that!).. back in the days when schooled and trained doctors didn't really exist and medical science was a fledgling idea. These women could throw a seemingly unmeasured handful of herbs roots,and a assortment of other items, picked and gathered fresh that day from a wild patch, into a well seasoned iron pot of natural spring water,also brought in fresh from the stream or well pump, boil the brew down to a syrup, mix that syrup with a stout shot or two of home distilled 150 proof sour mash liquor, (moonshine) add "a dab" or "a pinch" of whatever else her personal secret ingredients were, give you a unmeasured "spoonful" of her well made cure once a day and night, and whatever sickness you had was sure to be drove out of you within three to seven days.Why? How does this work?: Because the Old Wife or Mamaw made it for you, and she knew exactly what she was doing. Life threatening fevers broke, "ill vapors" and "bad spirits" were sweated out, the blood was purified of taint, rattling, fluid filled, lungs were opened and cleared out, you slept like the dead until you were better. Goddess forbid you had a "bilious fever" because you were given strong emetics and bowel stimulants mixed with castor oil to flush the illness out of both ends until it was seen that you were cured. Yes that is a bit harsh, but it works..where do you think the idea of modern day "Colon Cleansing" and "Detox" remedies comes from?
If actual "haints" or negative spiritual presence was thought to be the cause of the illness, then specialty cures and diagnostics existed for that too and were done in conjunction with the sick cure. the hex, curse, or "evil eye", or the "haint"was cast out and removed via several methods, and was followed by strong bouts of herbal smoke fumigation and other types of cleansing and blessing of the house and people affected. If you showed a knack to learn what Old Mamaw and the Old Wives knew, then you were very lucky and being taught what she knew was a rare privilege. Old Wives didn't read or write well back then, if at all, as getting a advanced education was not as important back then, and everything was shown by hand and passed down by oral sermon, so best that you were paying close attention.

November's New Moon Intentions.
Hey everyone and Bright Blessings! How was you Samhain? Mine was pretty decent, I took my son on a 5 mile trip to trick or treat, and spent the rest of the night watching ghost hunting shows. I did not have any more spiritual visits or have anymore experiences the rest of the holiday, but I suppose that one dream about my deceased father was enough. Today I have resumed the task of getting rid of people, situations and relationships that no longer are good for me or serve a healthy or fulfilling purpose to my life..and I started that with changing my cell number today. It is now a totally private number and is going to be only given to a select few. There is one particular person in my life that just needs to disappear for good, this person is regrettably a immediate family member, and this person has absolutely no respect for my personal boundaries, does not have any respect for my privacy, and could care less about my emotional or spiritual well being or that of my family or our lives as a whole. Their extreme, out of control, narcissism, and other potential personality disorders, have finally gotten to the point where I have absolutely no desire to even see, speak to, or associate with them, and we have a very long 25 year history of going back and forward..with them trying to constantly force and steamroll themselves in our lives and me trying to just push them out and keep them away. I have moved out of state three different times and tried everything in my human power to attempt to get this person to let go of their choke hold of my life and just leave me alone for good. I'm done tolerating it, done with "having to" deal with it for whatever supposed necessary reasoning and just put up with and accept it because they are my "family", no more..today was the last day.
I could care less really if I don't talk to them anymore, they can never ever call me again or come to see me at all and I will be totally fine with that. I do not give a rats behind if we don't receive any of their "financial assistance" to help pay bills or do things for my kids, we never asked for it or insinuated that we needed or wanted any of their financial aide or anything that was theirs to begin with!! I do not want them coming to my home and just walking into my space like they live here and have every God and Goddess given right to just waltz in like they own the place and not even knock or bother to announce their arrival. Even the most lax of social standards considers that flat farking rude! I do not need to listen to 5 voicemail messages a day, and see 10 missed calls, even after I blocked their number from calling, detailing what they are threatening to do and what will happen if I do not return their calls right now, and what horrid consequences I will face if I do not do exactly what I am told to do and when and as they say to do. I am not moving back over to their county of residence,and they are not going to be allowed to claim me or my kid on their taxes this year, I have heard that scheme for 4 years in a row now, and I am fed up with hearing about it..That is not and ever will happen! This attitude and behavior from them has seriously gotten to the point where the law and a judge or attorney would consider it several forms of harassment or even possibly stalking. I do not and have never been crippled in my mind or body to the point where I need to be told when to pay bills, how to raise my kids, when to do this, how to do that, and what for and why according to their specifications!! And then there is the idea, according to them, of how that we would never have anything or have a life worth living at all if it was not for them "helping" us and being there for us, never mind the overstated fact that the only reason they are even part of our lives at all is because I tried to have enough decency and respect for that word "family" to even allow it to begin with.
Well today that load of shit got tossed out like waste in a old fashioned bed chamber pot. I am tired of hearing about how selfish and self centered I supposedly am, and how cold it is that I act and how I do not care about no one or nothing and how it is that I think about no one but myself, and a whole list of other negative and derogatory accusations and opinions..last time I checked it's called taking care of me and mine and minding my own business and making a point to not get involved in situations that are not good for us. So this coming New Moon, there is going to be a drastic change I will be initiating and a very new beginning for us will start very soon. I think it's time I got out the instructions and items needed for the "Seal Up Your Problems" jar spell again..it looks like I am about to be needing it. I'm sorry everyone this is not a cheerful post, I will write again with more positive and uplifting news very shortly. Have a good week and Blessed Be!

Are You Already Having "Samhain Experiences"?
That is my new term for the week, "Samhain Experience"..meant to describe a paranormal or spiritual event that one experiences in relation to the thinning of the veil during the time period, when most of us witches and pagans celebrate the holiday of Samahin, pronounced "Sow-en" and many other ways depending on where you are from in the world. The veiled portals between spiritual and mundane worlds thins and opens completely during the month of October and all the way up to the first week of November, peaking between October 30th and November 2nd, and allows various types of spirits of the departed and even the not-so-departed to enter the "human" world quite freely and frequently. Some are our loved ones that have passed on, some are ancestors from many generations and lifetimes past, and there are those that are not so inclined to be nice when they come through to visit, they are the ones that that possess dark energies and they have negative and malevolent intentions and this is the right time for them to get a free pass into the world to attempt to wreck and ruin our lives and cause havoc and mayhem until they get sent back from whatever level of the spirit world they came from. there are so many of these low level and negative types of energies and entities that I can't possibly name them all!
People like me, the Empaths, Clairvoyants, Receptive Mediums, and Sensitives, occasionally have a hard time when this time of year comes about, because spiritual activity of all types and deviations increases by literally ten -fold and so doesn't our ability to sense and attract these spiritual energies like bees to a honey pot. I had my first "Samhain Experience" today..it's a week before the actual day of Samhain, and three days before the next full Moon. Earlier today I had a dream that really threw me for a minute. I saw my deceased father today. The old man has been gone for three years now, and very rarely have I seen or experienced his presence in any form of spiritual manifestation. I was pretty surprised at this dream and I wrote down details the second I got to a pen and paper. I very rarely see dead relatives or anyone I once knew that are actually dead in a dream, so to me the sight of them is pretty important, even if it does give me the heebies...normally the sight, experience or manifestation of spiritual energies and entities doesn't bother me much, as I have seen my share of that in this lifetime,but seeing and getting to speak to the immediate relatives is quite the deeply personal matter.
In this dream, I am going on a ATV trip with one of my cousins, and his friend, we are near a well known river, riding through back roads, and somehow I am separated from them, and I find myself going fast as I can drive down a hard and bone jarring trail as if my life depends on it, and taking a sharp turn, and going down a very clear cut and steep path that is made of trees that form wound together, circular shaped, canopies above me like a living tunnel. I come out of this canopied tunnel and drive roughly across a field, the field and the trails are hard to navigate and I am sore and tired, and I end up finding my way to my grandparent's back yard, and it is like I somehow barely made it there to start with, as I am exhausted like I just made a 100 mile trip and I am about to collapse, and there in the garage, sits my deceased father. He was working on a lawn mower, and when he was alive, he spent his last few months before his passing, living in the very same garage that was renovated into a living space. He looks at me, very confused and bewildered at the sight of me, asks me "How did you get here and what are you doing?" I am explaining how I got there, he reacts as if he already expected to hear this explanation, shrugs and waves it off, and then he abruptly asks me if I have any spare change for smoking tobacco, because he is out, and I am digging through my wallet, I pull out a $10.00 bill and hand that to him, and while I am putting back what money I have left, which is a $5 bill and three $1 bills, then I find a very odd looking $4.00 bill, amazed I look at him and show it to him and ask him "Is this real where did it come from?" he says " I don't know it might be." (Does anyone know if $4.00 US Paper Bills have ever existed in US currency?) So I say to him "Well I will keep it, and ask around and find out it might be worth something" and I am looking at this weird money bill and on the back of it on a corner there are words scribbled on it that says "So Cute!" Where that wording came from on the weird dollar bill I don't know, but I think the old man used to say something similar to express to very rarely heard sentiment of fondness. The old man was not one to speak of love or anything resembling affection.
I woke up after this point and lost all view and experience of this dream and the conversation with my long gone old man, by my buzzing cell phone. which was set to go off so I could wake up and start my spell work for tonight, and that is now done. I hurried up and wrote down the dream details so I can keep a record of it, and write on here to tell y'all of my possible journey to another world. Stuff like this makes me question if we actually die in our sleep momentarily..in order to cross over and actually speak to our deceased relatives? I can't think of too many scenarios where we just spontaneously get to speak with dead relatives, aside from it being so close to Samhain.
Now in real life I have not been trail riding on a ATV in years, and nowhere near that river area, and I don't actually foresee myself riding anywhere with my cousin and to my knowledge there are no trails that lead down to my grandparents home from that river area and even if there are then yes that would be literally miles of riding and going through Goddess knows what kind of terrain just to get through. If by chance my cousin happens to ask me to go with him on some wild adventure..I may not go and decide to tell him why he and his friend should maybe not go either. I don't like to think I might lose my cousin or something will happen to me from a ATV accident somewhere on the river if I could somehow prevent it from happening to begin with.
As I mentioned earlier it is 3 day before our next Full Moon on October 27th. this was the Friday I did my monthly Money Drawing spell, and I also worked on my St Martha and St Holy Death petition that I mentioned a few posts back. Again all of my candles burned very strongly and very high, suggesting some very good favor and potential successful results later. I asked for my sales of my books on Smashwords and Amazon to increase substantially, and for me to be able to pass that transcription exam for that new work from home job that I have my eyes on, and for the other application that I put in for a similar job to be approved. I need that Yuletide money very much, so I can start doing the holiday gift shopping earlier this year instead of last minute! I am going to go for now, and I will return again very soon! Bright Blessings everyone and have a great weekend!

New Jar Spell: Triple Sweet Return To Me & Reconciliation 10-17-2015
Hello and Bright Blessings, I promised Y'all a new spell jar and I finished one yesterday! This one is called a "Triple Sweet Return To Me & Reconciliation" and is meant to have someone return to you or to reconcile their differences, and renew their bond or relationship with you, and it be extra sweet when they do. This can work for family, friends, a lost lover, or a straying or separated spouse or partner. Mine was used in conjunction with a petition to St Martha and St Holy Death, however use whichever spirit, God or Goddess that suits you and your practice. I used a commanding aspect to mine but that is not entirely necessary or required. I felt I needed a bit of extra "Oomph" so in went the commanding aspects. Theoretically, this jar and the before mentioned powder and oil spell I wrote about in the previous post, can also be used to return other things to you such as money, luck, success, and things you have lost that you love and have a deep love and affection for, so instead of adding in say Love Drawing Powder, you could use Money Drawing powder, or something similar to what and whom it may be you wish to see returned to you. this spell jar I made incorporates Love Drawing aspects as that was what I made mine for.
All of the Light and White sections and sectors of pagan practice speaks of the "taboo" of enforcing someone's will or influencing or controlling of someone's free will, or a situation or event.. Let me ask you this..what is the bare roots and fundamental stripped down purpose behind casting a spell or using the power you were born and gifted with and spend all of your life trying to learn how to master, if not for the reason to direct and control the energies, situations, people, events and outcomes towards ultimately what is still somehow going to be in your favor and best interest?
Do not sit there and say nothing magical that you say or do is never about you or never has anything to do with you and is oh all about them or someone or something else, because that is not the entire truth and never will be. I will not apologize for anyone's ruffled feathers or hurt feelings because I am very,very "so over it" of seeing all these goody cupcake witches and magic workers that claim all of their work and every little thing they say and do is only for the light and good of the world and oh there is absolutely never anything for them involved in it. Go question and examine and analyze your own integrity, intentions and purposes and not mine please!
Yes Magic is supposed to be for the higher good of all involved..that also includes for you. What about your wants, needs, desires? Are you achieving or obtaining those yet? Magic, love, life, everything we do and what we are is about give and receive, and if all you're doing is giving and never receiving,well what damned good is that? I am not a evil black magic curse harm and hate casting type witch..but will I cross that "taboo" line in order to achieve a result? Yes occasionally, if I see a cause that warrants it. Magic is not all fairy dust, rainbows, sunshine, and fluff, sometimes you gotta get your hands a bit dirty, stick your wand in a few dark holes and see what is there, and take a few risks in life, and take back what is yours and is rightfully supposed to be yours and get exactly what you deserve! If you don't step it up once in awhile and make a strong gesture and go on a venture to receive that which you know you deserve and are capable of having then you will obtain nothing! Sometimes that means you have to cross a few lines in the sand and go against the grain a bit. My magic and my path is neither black or white ..one side or another, black comes in many colors and shades, and so doesn't white. Would Saint Holy Death work with me and grant me the occasional request if I was all purity and goodness and sparkling bright Light every single day? Probably not..I own up to and face down my streak of darkness very well and speak to my occasionally darker "Other Self" on a regular basis..we get along quite well most of the time and He is quite inspiring and enlightening..how about you and yours?
Enough of my venting and musings..time to get down to business...now let us go about getting back that wandering and wayward lover, spouse, best friend, family member, and whomever else that sees fit to just come and go..Haven't you had enough of seeing them come and go? Do you wish fervently they would come back and stay for good and life will be sweet again and actually stay that way for a good long time? Possibly forever and eternity? Is there a person, situation, blockage, or a issue preventing that or in the way of obtaining whom and what which you desire? Well give this spell jar a try and see what it does for you..
Items and Tools Needed: One 4"-6" red candle, One medium sized clean clear 8 oz jar with a screw cap, One specifically written spell paper with your request, Two Rose Quartz and Two Garnet Stones, Two Lodestones, matched, and nice and fuzzy, and a good pinch of magnetic sand to feed those with. **I have come across lodestones that are weak, sparsely fuzzy, and have no strength at all and they are ridiculously hard to charge back up again!**
Herbs and Roots Needed:
1/2 inch piece of Angelica Root, One chip of High John Root or a extra small whole one, Two pieces of Patchouli Root, A 1/8th teaspoon of Vertiver Root, Seven Job's Tears, A 1/8th teaspoon each of Licorice and Calamus Root ( strong commanding herbs), and One teaspoon of that Return to Me Powder, (see previous blog post before this one), plus One teaspoonful of any kind of Love Drawing powder that you might have. Need a specific recipe? I have one listed in this blog under the post named "Love Passion and Fidelity Charm Bag", which includes that powder and oil recipe also.
Extra Ingredients;
1/2 cup of Powdered Sugar ( Your standard,very basic drawing powder.)
1/2 cup of purest available honey. (I bought and used the kind that had honey comb in it.)
1/2 cup of White Corn Syrup, Molasses, Agave Syrup, etc etc..has to be sugar or plant sugar based. Honey, sugar, and sugar based syrups are used in Hoodoo and similar practices in jar spells to "sweeten" results and intent of a jar spell.
Anointing Oils: Adam&Eve, Aphrodesia,Bewitching, Commanding, Come To Me, Conjure, Domination, Draw Back, Enchanting, Midnight, Passion, Return To Me. 8 drops Each
**These particular named oils, herbs and other ingredients can be found at AzureGreen and 13Moons online pagan supply retailers, the brands are "Aura Accord" by Anna Riva and "13moons". Most are between $3.95 and $4.25 per 1/4 oz bottle. Herb and Root prices may vary and I personally prefer 13moons, for herbs and etc., as some items I have bought at AzureGreen were cheaper, but also cheaper quality! Another great place to find rare and hard to obtain ingredients and oils is LuckyMojo Curio Company. I love them!! If you want fantastic spell results, sometimes you have to invest in quality ingredients! Many of my ingredients are also grocer store bought but I carefully select mine there too! Any decent grocer has a "international foods" section and that is usually where you find natural and minimally processed ingredients because they use them in cooking too. The grocer brand labeled"Badia" in the little Latino cooking aisles have great selections, they come in little packets and bottles and they are also cheap and very good quality! Make sure there is very little to no kind of synthetic processed ingredients like anti-caking agents, binding ingredients, and preservatives in your grocer store purchases!
Instructions: This spell is ideally started on a New Moon, but anytime after the New Moon, on a Friday before a Full Moon, or the 3-7 days before a Full Moon is a good time. Read aloud your spell paper three times in a row, lay it in the very bottom of the jar, pick up your stones and lodestones, and hold them in your hand to charge with energy and sprinkle the magnetic sand onto them, place them on top of the paper to weight it down. Gather your roots and herbs in your hand and charge them with your intent and energy and place them on top of the paper and lodestones and stones, top the herbs and roots with your Return To Me and Reconciliation Powder and your chosen Love Drawing Powder, (or other chosen powder, whichever your intention is). Now drip the oils listed in 8 drops of each one on top of the herbs, stones, and paper, they will be saturated with oils. Now in a double boiler, or a nonstick pot, gently heat and stir together the syrup, honey and powdered sugar until it is runny and dissolved well, and pour this on top of the other ingredients in the jar, until the jar is full to the brim. Do not boil or scorch the mixed honey and do not microwave it! I will never use a microwave to heat any thing for a spell, some people might be OK with it, but I say it is not a good idea because you are putting radiation energy into your ingredients and how can that be good for magical purposes? Good old fashioned stove heat and actual clockwise or counterclockwise stirring is the way to go! Now take your jar, and add the cap, and attach your red candle to the top, and set the jar on your prepared altar space, invoke your elements, spirits, God or Goddess, and ask them to aide your work. Light the candle and allow it to burn all the way down, visualizing your intent manifesting, this seals the spell inside the jar. You have just now created a new Spell Jar!
For maintenance, light one red candle every three days afterwards until the next New Moon, every moon cycle until the request inside the jar is fulfilled. Do not worry if wax drips down the jar, or eventually covers the jar, it just adds to the sealing work. There is no real and definite set time limit to when this spell will work exactly..it might be three days, it might be three weeks or months.. these jar spells require time and patience. If you at any time receive a bad sign or have something bad happen to you from the other party, that in any way indicates this reconciliation or request to return the person or your other intentions, is going to be a bad thing in any way shape or form,.discontinue your work with this jar and dispose of everything! The purpose of this jar spell is to have a sweet reunion, return, and reconciliation, and for life with the other person, or a situation in your life, to be sweet again..not bittersweet or sickly sweet, or anything "sugarcoated" in malevolence and negativity. To dispose of these jars, unseal the wax, pop off the lid, and pour everything down a source of running water away from you, or bury the jar upside down in a deep hole far away from your home, so the contents are absorbed into the ground. Don't save or salvage anything except maybe the stones and lodestones if you really want those back, those can be washed and reprogrammed, roots herbs, paper, honey, everything else is now void and useless. If you cannot do this or don't have access to a source of water or safe patch of ground, take the jar, wrap it a few times in thick brown paper, and smash the jar, thus breaking the spell quite literally, and take it to the trash bin and allow the dump truck to haul it off. I live in a apartment, and my disposal options are a bit limited, and I found the brown paper disposal and trash bin method works very well too! Witchcraft is also about adaptation, not just strict traditions! I hope you all have happy crafting and enjoy your new spell, Blessed Be and I shall return soon!

New Spell Oil and Powder Recipe! "Return to Me"
Hello and Bright Blessings to Everyone! I have a brand new spell powder and oil to share with Y'all! A couple of days ago I was hunting ingredients for " Reconciliation " or Return To Me" spell powder or oil, because I am low on a couple of bottles of oil and I wanted to try to make my own, instead of purchasing it again. $4.25 for a 1/4 oz bottle is kinda expensive. I hunted everywhere for a exact recipe to no avail, it is just not to be found online anywhere, I strongly suspect the exact formula is a close guarded secret. So instead of a exact recipe, this witch decided to just take every known herb and oil designed to "Return" and "Reconcile" long lost friends, wayward lovers, and straying spouses, and I just now made my own! My result..a fantastically strong smelling and potently charged up mixture that smells like some kind of exotic candy! While I was in the kitchen chopping, grinding, mixing, and stirring up this new brew of mine, I felt that warm, fuzzy, and intense happy feeling that always accompanies favorable spiritual vibrations and that told me I was on the right path and doing this the right way.
So without further adieu, here is the original and custom made recipe to "S.M.Tillson's Return To Me" oil and powder. This is exactly my own creation and is not copied, stolen or borrowed from anyone's work.
In a 2 oz bottle with a cap, combine 8 drops each of the following oils: Adam and Eve, Aphrodesia, Bewitching, Command, Conjure, Come To Me, Domination, Draw Back, Enchanting, Midnight, Passion, Return To Me. This is the only "synthetic" ingredient, as these are ritual scented oils and are often used for many ritual and spell purposes. You can find these oils at Azure Green and 13Moons online ritual supply stores.
Now.. Grind very finely, 1/8 tsp. of the following herbs, (except where numbered quantities are indicated) to a very fine consistency and add them to your bottle with the other oils.
3 Whole Star Anise buds, 8 Coriander Seed, 8 Whole Cloves, Cumin Seed, Damiana, Dill, Ginger,
8 pieces of Red Hibiscus Flower, 8 Juniper Berries, A Small chunk of Myrrh Resin, A Small chunk of Dried Pineapple, 8 Red Rose Petals, Rosemary, Spikenard Powder, 1/8 tsp of purest available Vanilla Bean Extract. If you already have ground up versions of whole seed and herbs then use 1/8 a teaspoon each of those.
Top these herbs and your other added oils with a base of apricot oil, Heat this bottle in a pot of water on gentle heat, for exactly 9 minutes, to warm and swirl around the oils and herb ingredients, do not allow it to boil or the bottle will bust! before capping and storing, add in a small lodestone and a small bit of magnetic sand. allow to sit for at least 2 weeks before the first use.
A dry herbal powder can be made from the above mentioned herbs, and quantities of each herb increased to 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of each herb to create a larger batch. The powder has a strong scent and should not be used in huge sprinkles, only a bit used for dusting candles, adding to spell bags and jars, and sprinkling onto someone's personal items, property, or them to enact a "Return" of that person to you so that they will hopefully " Reconcile" their differences with you.
I mixed mine with some of my "Love Drawing Powder" because mine was made for a specific intent. Theoretically you can use this powder and mix a dab of it with any other type of Money Drawing, Road Opening, Uncrossing, and other similar powders and oils to achieve a particular intent. It is made to "Return To Me " that which you love and have lost, and that could be a person, object, possession, or money that you spend.
I will soon be creating a new Spell Jar with this powder and oil recipe and I will post the instructions to that new spell when I finish it this weekend! Happy Crafting everyone and Blessed Be!

New Moon Spell, candle observations, 10-12-2015
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings for this New Moon of October 12-13, 2015! Right now where I am it is 4:48 am. No I should not be awake I should be sound asleep, but when you're one of those "awakened" people , well sleep is one of those things that you learn to adjust to not having or really needing much of. I took a nap after my spell work was done about midnight. I woke up again a hour later and I've been up ever since. Lately my body seems to favor the night shift, I can sleep awhile of the daytime, and be up a good 20 straight hours and not even be physically tired. I have had a ugly tension headache for the last couple of days, but that is actually somewhat normal. I get headaches when the higher cosmic energies shift around a lot. My "human" brain and body can only handle so much energetic fluctuation at once without reacting adversely in some way, and the response is usually some type of pain.
Strongly gifted Empath and other similarly gifted persons, are extremely sensitive to changes in energy patterns and the shifting energies that occur before, during and after the New Moon and Full Moon. And wow what a Full Moon we are about to have!! October 27th, 2015, three days before Samhain, the veil between the worlds of spiritual and mundane is set to open completely at this time, and we have a Full Moon to light the way! I hope all of us witch folk have something good planned! Me, I will be awaiting the results of my latest spell petition to manifest, and if it doesn't turn out as I am asking for it to, then I will be sure to see and hear about why.
Anyway..down to the New Moon, which for us in the USA was last night, for the other side of the world it is tonight. I asked St Martha and St Holy Death for a wee favor, and if I have any luck, and some saintly favor, I will see some results in the next couple of weeks. I have noticed these two saint figures seem to work well together for me at least, despite having some very opposite differences and that is probably why..as opposites occasionally do attract and work well together to achieve a purpose.
I set up the Saint Holy Death and Saint Martha candles and offerings up, with the jar candles at the top right and left corners of the table, and placed a additional three chime candles in a upward facing triangle, slightly below them, so I had 5 candles, looking down you would see a square with a candle in the center but that was not really so, it just happens to be how I had to set it all up due to cramped space on my table. The two saint figure candles were the spirits I asked to help, the triangle of candles represented the intentions I wanted to see happen. The first candle at the top of the triangle, represented what I needed to really see happen and begin now, and the two bottom candles were for the outcome and something to manifest later on as a result of the influence of the first candle at the top. The candle at the top of the triangle,and the candle on the right bottom side of the triangle, shot up really high, bright,and those two burned down and went out in exactly a hours time, indicating that the favor I asked for on the right bottom candle will happen first and will be strongly influenced by what was represented by the top candle. The second candle on the left bottom side, burned slower and steady, and continued to burn longer, and went out last without the influence of the top candle, since it had already went out. To me this indicated that this favor and request will happen in its own time, and without being too directly influenced by the top candle in the triangle. Which really that would be fine with me, that particular request will need more time anyways and no need to rush or push that one, energetically speaking and on the mundane and metaphysical plane that actually makes perfect sense. I need one thing that I asked for to happen first before the other request can come along.and I can't have one without the other.
Now here is the part that made me quirk a brow, and a smile light my face, St Holy Death, was the figure candle that was directly in line with the candle at the bottom right side of the triangle of smaller candles, the bottom right side was also the one that burned down first, along with the top candle of the triangle. So was Saint Holy Death lending her power and influence to that side of the triangle of candles, and telling me She was listening?
The Saint Holy Death candle is a red glass jar candle, and the chime candle on the bottom right of the triangle was also red. I paired them in line together because that is a long practiced idea. The St Martha jar candle was on the top left corner of the table and in line with the bottom left of the triangle, the candles were not the same color but had the same intention, and meanings behind them, so technically they were still coordinated. St Martha was also listening, but She is going to take her time in doing what I asked for and she will steadily follow behind St Holy Death while She clears the blocked path with her scythe of change and transformation, breaking down boundaries and removing barriers, obstacles..and so forth. I am going to go for now my lovelies..I have a lot of chores to do today, the sun is up now so time to start a new day! I will return soon, to update on any changes and happenings..have a good week!

I have noticed these two saint figures seem to work well together for me at least, despite having some very opposite differences and that is probably why..as opposites occasionally do attract and work well together to achieve a purpose.
I set up the Saint Holy Death and Saint Martha candles and offerings up, with the jar candles at the top right and left corners of the table, and placed a additional three chime candles in a upward facing triangle, slightly below them, so I had 5 candles, looking down you would see a square with a candle in the center but that was not really so, it just happens to be how I had to set it all up due to cramped space on my table. The two saint figure candles were the spirits I asked to help, the triangle of candles represented the intentions I wanted to see happen. The first candle at the top of the triangle, represented what I needed to really see happen and begin now, and the two bottom candles were for the outcome and something to manifest later on as a result of the influence of the first candle at the top. The candle at the top of the triangle,and the candle on the right bottom side of the triangle, shot up really high, bright,and those two burned down and went out in exactly a hours time, indicating that the favor I asked for on the right bottom candle will happen first and will be strongly influenced by what was represented by the top candle. The second candle on the left bottom side, burned slower and steady, and continued to burn longer, and went out last without the influence of the top candle, since it had already went out. To me this indicated that this favor and request will happen in its own time, and without being too directly influenced by the top candle in the triangle. Which really that would be fine with me, that particular request will need more time anyways and no need to rush or push that one, energetically speaking and on the mundane and metaphysical plane that actually makes perfect sense. I need one thing that I asked for to happen first before the other request can come along.and I can't have one without the other.
Now here is the part that made me quirk a brow, and a smile light my face, St Holy Death, was the figure candle that was directly in line with the candle at the bottom right side of the triangle of smaller candles, the bottom right side was also the one that burned down first, along with the top candle of the triangle. So was Saint Holy Death lending her power and influence to that side of the triangle of candles, and telling me She was listening?
The Saint Holy Death candle is a red glass jar candle, and the chime candle on the bottom right of the triangle was also red. I paired them in line together because that is a long practiced idea. The St Martha jar candle was on the top left corner of the table and in line with the bottom left of the triangle, the candles were not the same color but had the same intention, and meanings behind them, so technically they were still coordinated. St Martha was also listening, but She is going to take her time in doing what I asked for and she will steadily follow behind St Holy Death while She clears the blocked path with her scythe of change and transformation, breaking down boundaries and removing barriers, obstacles..and so forth. I am going to go for now my lovelies..I have a lot of chores to do today, the sun is up now so time to start a new day! I will return soon, to update on any changes and happenings..have a good week!

Mercury Retrograde Ends Today!! 10-9-2015
Hello and Bright Blessings! I'm so relieved.. this Mercury Retrograde has probably been the worst I have ever seen! Today it ends..and now we will all be able to breathe a sigh of release and relief! This last week in particular has been very aggravating yet rewarding. To quote a recent post from my G+ page... "I have been crazy busy, this week has been a massive headache but rewarding.. I added to my Amazon Turk HIT worker skills.. Today I passed their Crowdsurf Transcriber test with a score of 760. I also took another transcriber test with "Rev Transcribers" and awaiting confirmation from them as to when or if I have a job with them. According to their emails that confirmation might take a couple weeks? I am also working on a exam from "Transcribe Me!" transcription workers..and so far I have NOT passed their exam but I am not giving up,I have three more tries to pass that exam and it's very challenging!
The phone will not stop ringing! Having to get in touch with my son's school and teachers and etc about his work, and why and how it is that his grades are trying to slack and he is not keeping up to task, and today we went to his Dr appointment for his "therapy" session. this is a Dr. ordered thing..not something I asked for or requested, so it's something we have to do. I cannot say i am too thrilled about it..but it's for his sake so let's see how that goes?? A diagnosis of ADHD or what have you type of issue is pending at this stage.."
To top that off, there is still silence from my seemingly MIA friend that I mentioned in the last post. Maybe now that Mercury will move ahead I will see a uptick in better communications and associations on that end too? I am trying to focus on other productive things and stay busy worrying over other areas of my life so as to distract me from that, it seems there is nothing I can really say or do in order to change or work around that situation, so best to just leave it alone and let it be what it's going to be. I am hoping strongly that when I take the exam from the Transcribe Me! site that I pass that too because I seriously need that $24.00/hr paycheck!! That would be the icing on my cake, and even if I still get the other job from "Rev Transcribers" they actually pay more per audio hour transcribed..so yes let me please see a breakthrough soon! If worse comes to worse..well I qualify now to do transcription work for CrowdSurf since they use Amazon Turk, and I have a account with them already. If anyone would like to know where I found this transcription job offer from and if you would like to try it yourself then this is the website where I found the information...PennyHoarder and somewhere on this site is a list of 23 work from home jobs that are legitimate and actually earn you some pay. I chose the transcription job because I have basic skills in computer work, and sometimes you have to use what you have in order to get what you need, however unconventional or off the beaten track it might be! If that door of opportunity won't open or you cant find a door, then create your own!!
I have had two dreams recently, one has partially came true, and the other hasn't yet.
The first one I had was during the week and the weekend of October 4th, where I dreamed that I would see or talk to my MIA friend, after I went to see another friend. I specifically said to him "well I will see you later after I get back, I have to go see her,she is like my sister" The weekend of October 4th was my childhood friend's birthday, she the same friend that is really like my sister, we have known each other all of our lives ..and I ended up going out to see her for her birthday out of the blue, as she made a impromptu message inviting me to come visit for the weekend. Then I had a creepy dream this past Monday, that I was in a old and abandoned house or a shed, and somehow I had found and was staring at this huge yellow and brown spotted snake, that was curled up in front of me, and then I heard my long missing friend talking to me from behind and I turn around and he was standing there and trying to reassure me that it was dead and I had nothing to worry about, so I poked at the snake and saw it was in fact dead like he said it was and it was grotesquely curled on its back. In the dream there were supposed to had been four snakes around us but I only saw and had contact with the one in front of me, the other three were not immediately visible, but I knew that they were there around us in the run down house or building somewhere. This is the second dream I have had about something symbolizing a snake, so I looked up and found a passage from the website dream moods about snakes and it is quoted as saying that "To see a dead snake in a dream is to state that a threat has passed" of which when I read this description you can just bet I had a sudden case of goosebumps!! My question is what or whom is or was the threat that has passed, and why was it him that I saw who was telling me of this message? I hope to see or hear a sign or a word about that idea soon.
The New Moon for October 13th, falls in Libra, the sign of balance and relationships,and we could use some balance restored after this madness of Mercury Retrograde and some harmony restored to relationships of all kinds in our lives! Everything to do with communication, technology, work and home life, will now pick up speed and move forward, but we will not see it all go into full swing until the Full Moon on the 27th. We have made it through the four Blood Moon Eclipses, and we are still alive, even if we are shaken, rattled, and our lives gone to extremes of change. Now it's time for the dust to settle a bit and we can get back to restoring some communication, start new jobs, renew relationships, and finish neglected projects or find and create new ones,and cultivate peace, love, and harmony! It is 6AM here so now I have to go and get the day started. I will return with a New Moon post, so have a great weekend and see you all soon!

Blood Moon Eclipse Recap. 9-29-2015.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! It's 3:14am here right now, and I sit here processing some deep and heavy thoughts and emotions yet again.. How was everyone's wild ride through this past eclipse? What happened for you and what did you experience? Mine was very intense, as I watched a dream that I had about two weeks ago unfold into reality. In this dream, I was trying to get a hold of someone, and I asked why they had not called or anything and their response was " I was with another woman" and the words I heard in their dream voice sounded so sad and regretful, as if they hated themselves for having to tell me this, and it was the very last thing they wanted to have to tell me at all.
Fast forward to Sunday. and it just happens to be this someone I have not heard from in months, that one person that I have missed like it is killing me, that I have waited for weeks and needed to see and talk to, needed to have close to me, and whom I am so sick inside over being forced to live without, who finally texts my phone..and some of the words on the screen were "Oh the reason I have not talked to you much is because I am kinda talking to someone" and " I am not with her, just talking."
My reaction to this bomb drop of information, and the realization that oh I have seen and heard this already..was a boiling and seething rage, and jealousy, possessiveness, a devastating sense of betrayal and loss, and a deep pain like someone had just stuck a serrated knife in my heart, lungs, and gut, and gave it a sharp twist. I actually felt sick and gagged and choked from from how strongly it hit me. Someone had just crossed a invisible line, and made a move and spoke a word in the totally wrong way. Someone else dared to see, speak to, and be near what I felt was "Mine" and was "talking to" someone I love and cherish with all of my heart and soul, and possibly going to take them away?
It was as if someone just thrust a rusty key in a old lock and pried it open, the wild thing that has been clawing, digging, and thrashing at me for weeks finally came undone from deep inside of me and I let it loose like a brutally tortured and taunted beast that had been kept in a cage for too long, and it was now finally freed, and roaring and snapping for blood.
Perhaps I may have let it loose too harshly, and I probably hurt and shocked the person on the other end of the screen I was texting with my volatile and out of nowhere reaction. I'm pretty sure they were not remotely prepared for the exact reaction that their the words would cause. and even if they were somewhat expecting it, I am sure the intensity of it all was a bit much to take and deal with. But I too finally came out with some of my own truths that they also probably already knew and understood, but they also finally needed to actually hear and see the words and feel the emotions connected to it about who, what and why, and about some things have happened between us and why I felt that way, and what helped to spur the action behind why I have done some things over the last few months.
There has been a heavy silence between us for a couple of days now, and probably for the best as the emotions are still raw and shredded up like freshly ground hamburger. The last two days I have felt very much like someone beat the tar out of me and I couldn't breathe right and my chest even hurt yesterday. I haven't ate or slept too much either, my emotions and other things that lay deep inside of me have been too deeply rattled to pay any mind to the physical needs.
This eclipse and the energy packed into it was raw, volatile, and fierce for me and probably just as much for them.. I am now questioning if one of the the other dreams I had, will also come to be? What actions and movement will now take place? What decisions will be made, and what other truths will be revealed now that we both have finally gone through a vital transformation and a crucial turning point? Sometimes, even when we are shown the truth, we still sometimes need to see further evidence and have it validated to actually believe and accept it. That dragon needs to be prodded just the right way, that button pushed way too hard for the last time, and that lock forcefully opened. Things have to change, energy needs to be unblocked and allowed to flow, movement has to be made, and sometimes it takes letting loose that which you hold on a chain, locked deep inside of you, and not be afraid to face it down in all of its glorious wrath, terrifying fury, and mesmerizing beauty. I am going to go for now..daylight comes and I need to start the next day..and see what comes..Blessed Be to all and I shall return soon.

Uncrossing Spell Results From 8-29-2015
Hey everyone and Bright Blessings. I got some good news to report about that Uncrossing Spell I done during August's Full Moon. Remember I specifically asked St Holy Death to Uncross my crappy financial issues? Well today I went grocery shopping, got a bill paid, and ran some errands. When I got back I checked my credit balance.. as I was originally going to find out how low I was getting, because someone was trying to talk me into renewing my cell phone service and I said no. I wanted to wait..I logged into my account, expecting to be pretty broke, only to see that I was in fact finally given the credit increase that I have paid 6 months' worth of bills to earn!! I was not expecting to actually see this raise until January..that is usually when I am due for a increase in my credit.
I am not going to get exuberantly excited just yet about my newly awarded financial increase because Mercury is in full swing of his Retrograde phase, and will not go back into forward motion until October 9th. Major purchases using a credit card and a debit or ATM machine qualifies as a Mercury Retrograde "Don't!!" I have already seen a few glitches in communications and how my computer has been acting up a bit. that is also why I declined getting my phone service renewed..no buying electronics or anything like that while Mercury is in retrograde..it will be a lemon and backfire in your face somehow!!
During this time I have also went through a strong desire to be deleting, blocking, and removing people, situations, and problems from my personal and social life that no longer have a reason or serve a actual purpose. I have strongly felt like if they are not helping me achieve any successes or doing anything really good for me or my life well it just has to go and be gone for good! Also I have a job interview for Friday the 25th..two days before the next Blood Moon Eclipse coming on Sunday the 27th. and it is the same Friday before the Full Moon that I reserve for love and financial spells. I will hopefully do my money spell on Friday..and go to this job interview later on that afternoon and hopefully get the job. If Goddess and God blesses me again with some financial luck like this I am going to probably break down in tears or something emotional...seriously this past two weeks have been one wild ride on the crazy train! The emotional rattling between these two eclipses have been very intense for me and I am pretty sure it is far from done! I found out recently that my mom's hubby just lost his job..something they definitely cannot afford to have happen right now, I will not be too surprised if I find out they are moving or something pretty soon, or that someone else I know is moving..as Eclipses seem to bring on sudden changes like that, and they seem to strongly affect my life in particular. I know it is not only just me but some days it really feels that way!
I am going to go for the moment..I have plenty to be doing. I am still writing on my books and doing small odds and ends for " work" to keep us from being too broke...that is a never ending struggle right now..but as y'all can see..Goddess and God and even St Holy Death..do work in ways you least expect!!

Trancendence of Dreams and Reality.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. Today I want to share something interesting that has been on my mind all afternoon. Earlier today I laid down for a nap. I dreamed that I was highly upset, grieving some type of loss and frantically searching for someone I know whom appears to have either died or has been lost to me for awhile,, to pass along the message to them of "You don't have to make a choice but I hope you make the right choice and I hope it is for the right people" Now one of the thoughts I had before I laid down, was that this person seems to be someone I don't really know anymore, and I have lost them and it feels as if they have died, or the person I used to know has died in a sense, and they are lost to me. Do I really know them as well as they claim I do? Better than anyone? This thought carried over into my dream.
Now back to dream land..alternate reality..whatever it is supposed to had been..while I was looking frantically trying to find this person to give them the message, a man appeared before me, I recognized this man but in a way I did not know him, it was like I was staring at the man I was looking for and he had finally came back and I had found him, but it was still not the same person, he had grown out dark blonde hair that was pulled back and a longish goatee, and was dressed in a brown shirt and a white tank shirt underneath. He then proceeded to strip down out of his clothes and hand them to me, and then stood before me bare naked. I felt he was silently asking me to accept or recognize the person that now stood stripped bare in front of me, as if I were to either make a choice, to accept the man before me that had just changed and shed layers of who he was and bared it all to me, or not. Either way I was to make some kind of choice. I could only see the waist up, why I could not see below that wasn't revealed, as due to my son waking me up right about then and before I could give a answer and before the scene could reveal more than that. While it was probably for my own good my son came in there and woke me, there was probably a good reason for it aside from the fact that Ghost Hunters was about to be on and we were going to watch it. I have still made a note to myself that when I take a nap from now on that my blasted door is going to be locked! I cannot count how many times have I been jumped and startled awake out of a good sleep and important dream time by my well meaning but deliberately intrusive child, who seems to have the ungodliest sense of timing.
Now back to waking real life time. after I thought of this dream..the idealism of snakes came to mind out of nowhere. It crossed my mind that even as the person in my dream was shedding his clothing in front of me that I was still not allowed to see the rest, what if below the waist there was a serpent's tail, a secret being deliberately hidden away, and I was only meant to see what was being shown to me that he wanted me to see, instead of what I should have been looking for? I cannot just a make a choice of acceptance or recognize something or someone until I get the whole picture and see the entire situation and the person(s) involved for what it really is and is not. Snakes shed their skin regularly to change, grow and transform out of what they were into what they are supposed to be. I personally have a thing against snakes, as in the saying "snake in the grass" and other such foreboding things. I respect the animal and its many symbolic meanings of healing, wisdom, fertility, transformations, and so forth, but I still do not have a strong trust or have a keen liking for them. If I see one I will admire it and let it be, respect the beautiful deadliness of it, and let it go on its way and have peace,that is unless it poses a threat or a danger in some way. We here in TN have many types of poisonous snakes so its best to give any that you see a healthy distance until it can be identified.
I thought hard about the idea that even when a snake sheds it's skin..it is still a snake, it has not changed very much, it just has a shiny new skin and has grown a bit more, it might even be prettier than it was, and it maybe a enticement or seem very charming to you, you maybe hypnotized and drawn to it,mesmerized by its beauty, but you have to accept and understand that is still a snake, no matter how it has appeared to have changed. You have to make a choice whether or not you want to pick that thing up or handle it and risk getting yourself bitten. If you choose to handle it then hope and pray it is not poisonous enough to kill you or make you deathly sick or it is not the kind that will wrap you in it's embrace and crush you to death. You can handle a snake of any type or kind, even be it's friend or learn to have a certain kind of love and fondness for it, and it will have something to teach you, about shedding old skins and transforming yourself into something more than you were, and learn a lot of wisdom from the serpent, however..like most snakes, proverbial and natural, they also wait for prey to walk blindly right into their grasp, so they can strike and leave you poisoned to die, or snatch a hold of you and crush you.
The same can be said of certain kinds of men and a few women,..for how many of them wait in secret, biding their time, they have long beforehand picked out their prey and are waiting for the prey to walk too closely, so they might entice with their beauty, charm with words and gestures, keep you hypnotized by the lulling sound of their words and the way they stare at you, and right at the exact moment strike hard to inject you with their own kind of poison,and bite you repeatedly and leave you to slowly die from their deadly kind of "love", or they happen to get a hold of you, and attempt to smother you in their embrace of "love" until you suffocate and are crushed to death? Well here in the south, to alot of people the only good snake is a dead snake..you find a hoe or something sharp and chop off its head, hang its squirming body on a barbed wire fence, and wait for the rain to come while it's blood drip on the ground. I'll leave y'all to think about that.. Bright Blessings and see you all again soon!
Now back to dream land..alternate reality..whatever it is supposed to had been..while I was looking frantically trying to find this person to give them the message, a man appeared before me, I recognized this man but in a way I did not know him, it was like I was staring at the man I was looking for and he had finally came back and I had found him, but it was still not the same person, he had grown out dark blonde hair that was pulled back and a longish goatee, and was dressed in a brown shirt and a white tank shirt underneath. He then proceeded to strip down out of his clothes and hand them to me, and then stood before me bare naked. I felt he was silently asking me to accept or recognize the person that now stood stripped bare in front of me, as if I were to either make a choice, to accept the man before me that had just changed and shed layers of who he was and bared it all to me, or not. Either way I was to make some kind of choice. I could only see the waist up, why I could not see below that wasn't revealed, as due to my son waking me up right about then and before I could give a answer and before the scene could reveal more than that. While it was probably for my own good my son came in there and woke me, there was probably a good reason for it aside from the fact that Ghost Hunters was about to be on and we were going to watch it. I have still made a note to myself that when I take a nap from now on that my blasted door is going to be locked! I cannot count how many times have I been jumped and startled awake out of a good sleep and important dream time by my well meaning but deliberately intrusive child, who seems to have the ungodliest sense of timing.
Now back to waking real life time. after I thought of this dream..the idealism of snakes came to mind out of nowhere. It crossed my mind that even as the person in my dream was shedding his clothing in front of me that I was still not allowed to see the rest, what if below the waist there was a serpent's tail, a secret being deliberately hidden away, and I was only meant to see what was being shown to me that he wanted me to see, instead of what I should have been looking for? I cannot just a make a choice of acceptance or recognize something or someone until I get the whole picture and see the entire situation and the person(s) involved for what it really is and is not. Snakes shed their skin regularly to change, grow and transform out of what they were into what they are supposed to be. I personally have a thing against snakes, as in the saying "snake in the grass" and other such foreboding things. I respect the animal and its many symbolic meanings of healing, wisdom, fertility, transformations, and so forth, but I still do not have a strong trust or have a keen liking for them. If I see one I will admire it and let it be, respect the beautiful deadliness of it, and let it go on its way and have peace,that is unless it poses a threat or a danger in some way. We here in TN have many types of poisonous snakes so its best to give any that you see a healthy distance until it can be identified.
I thought hard about the idea that even when a snake sheds it's skin..it is still a snake, it has not changed very much, it just has a shiny new skin and has grown a bit more, it might even be prettier than it was, and it maybe a enticement or seem very charming to you, you maybe hypnotized and drawn to it,mesmerized by its beauty, but you have to accept and understand that is still a snake, no matter how it has appeared to have changed. You have to make a choice whether or not you want to pick that thing up or handle it and risk getting yourself bitten. If you choose to handle it then hope and pray it is not poisonous enough to kill you or make you deathly sick or it is not the kind that will wrap you in it's embrace and crush you to death. You can handle a snake of any type or kind, even be it's friend or learn to have a certain kind of love and fondness for it, and it will have something to teach you, about shedding old skins and transforming yourself into something more than you were, and learn a lot of wisdom from the serpent, however..like most snakes, proverbial and natural, they also wait for prey to walk blindly right into their grasp, so they can strike and leave you poisoned to die, or snatch a hold of you and crush you.

"Grimm"
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, how has the week been for you? I cannot say mine has been too great, but it has had some bright spots and I have seen some more affirmations that bolster my faith even if the last couple of days have felt like my personal world is going haywire. There has been a lot of turbulent and wired up emotional energy going on with me lately, I'd appreciate a break from the roller coaster ride of extremely deep emotions, and the exhaustion of so much mental and spiritual processing! I did a Uncrossing spell recently, invoking St Holy Death, I asked specifically for my seemingly crossed and dismal financial woes to be cleared up, and for another special favor. I waited for a sign that what I asked for would manifest pretty soon. Yesterday I was given a interesting and very moving sign that Her Holiness was listening to me. Today..my son bought me a "Grimm" Ty Beanie toy. Grimm is a very innocent looking and adorably cute likeness of a grim reaper, of whom Santa Muerte closely resembles. I immediately giggled and thought about that grim reaper character from the old cartoon I used to watch called "The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy" On a more serious note.. all the things for my son to buy for me it just so happened to be a representation that resonated so strongly to me! I will hold onto my adorably precious Grimm until it falls apart. Right at this moment it sits very proudly on my dresser top where the St Holy Death candles and altar space is. It is a very special presentation of a powerful spiritual presence and it came from my son out of his own pocket money that he didn't have to spend on me.
My son is 13. The Tarot card that signifies Death is also numbered as 13. That tarot card signifies a life altering change, death, rebirth, and transformations, both good and bad, in your life in ways that you may not see coming and if you happen to already know what those changes will be then it is best to try and prepare or at least be expecting it, in the event that it might be something painful or unexpected that gets thrown at you like a curve ball. Considering the way that the sign revealed itself out of a place of love and selfless kindness from a son towards his mother, I should very much hope that the sign I got today was for a positive change! St Holy Death made her presence known through my child in a way that I was just floored by. My mind is busy trying to work out some of the hidden and more complex meanings behind why She would present herself to me and through him in such a deep and profound way. Some of you might see that as a potential bad omen or a warning, and perhaps it is, would my own child be tapped into as a type of oracle by Her Holiness and directed by Her in giving me a clear warning that Death is soon to visit my household, and bring a catastrophic and inevitable change to all of us in ways that I am not ready to face down and I am not prepared for? Yes that is possible, if you look at the reversed meaning of the Death Tarot card, however I am not going to bring myself down into a dark hole of anxiety and fear by thinking about all the potential dangers and disasters that may or may not happen.
Whatever changes are about to come, good or bad, they will be inevitable and there will not be too much I can do to halt or prevent them from happening. Now let me bring up another fact..September 13, 2015 is a New Moon Solar Eclipse. Please again notice the number 13..the symbolism of that was just a bit jarring to me, really there is only so much synchronicity of information I can absorb at one time! This will be a time of transformations, changes, endings and and beginnings on a very potent scale for everyone, not just for me. The 9th House, is highlighted in this upcoming eclipse,with foreign and international travel, writing, speaking, publications, social media, educational and spiritual pursuits, and other areas similar to this being brought into a massive bout of changes for everyone, so if you happen to be doing any of these above mentioned things in your life, expect to see a very strong change come about in the days and weeks following this eclipse. I will be looking for more signs that foretell of changes that will surely uproot, turn inside out, and bring sweeping changes in and around my life. Me personally I have been working on trying to finish my second book and starting on a third that will be a companion novel to the second book,, so I have already been working on where my life goals are heading for after this New Moon. If I do not get the second book published, I will at least get to finish it.
Today I found this picture on my Facebook wall, and it hit me hard in the gut because well I couldn't have said or thought of this one any better if I tried, it looked like someone had just took the exact words from my mind and heart that I have had some intense emotions around, and stuck it right on my wall for just me to see in crystal clear clarity. Perhaps I just needed to actually read the words in order to better process all the emotional madness I have been struggling with for what seems like forever. I personally hope this upcoming eclipse brings a change to all o that too. I'm tired and worn out in ways I did not think I could be and I've had quite enough of the heart and mind and soul chain rattling! I am going to go for now, Bright Blessings to everyone and Have a great weekend! I will be back to update on what happens in a few days after the eclipse.

Venus Retrograde ends today!
Venus, planet of love, money and all kinds of things that embodies what and who we "love" comes out of retrograde today, and I have to say I have noticed a huge shift in energy today. As for me, personally I have had one of those deep and harsh emotional days where I have a lot of things, situations, and people on my mind that bring about some pretty turbulent emotions. Things I have not thought about in a few weeks suddenly have come roaring to the surface like a seething and bubbling lava flow, demanding that I deal with and process it all further and either let it go or make a change to either fix or renew it. All the things that have been stagnant, blocked, or just not happening in our love and financial lives will start to become unblocked and move forward again after today.
If you have been dealing with a ugly financial rut, or a relationship or love situation has not been going too well, then rest assured those types of things will be brighter and things will look up after today, however we will have to be patient and bide our time wisely and not rush to make rash decisions until at least the end of this month, as Mercury goes retrograde again on September 17th, and this will stall and snarl up everything to do with communications, electronics, and how we express ourselves and get our points across in work, love, relationships, and everything else. Best to start off slow,and gently begin new things in our lives, but not to be rash and plow into a new venture and then be disappointed when we hit the snag and possibly run into a brick wall that is definitely coming when September 17th rolls around.
So even though Venus is coming out of retrograde, well we are not out of the woods yet! Venus will be in peak form and be chugging smoothly along by October 9th.
If you are planning to get some major work and work related projects done, or be talking to or somehow making a strong move towards that love interest,such as a engagement, marriage, first date, or anything "serious" you might want to be doing that before September 17th, or else you will be forced to wait until after October 9th. If you are just now beginning a new venture towards love, work, or anything to do with those areas, now is the time to start and get the basic plans and proposals made and laid in place, before Mercury goes Retrograde. You can start the small things now, but wait until after Mercury comes out of retrograde to fire it up and go full steam ahead.
I will use one of my own recent experiences as an interesting example of what I meant by situations becoming unblocked and stagnant energy being removed and released, a few days ago, I made a unpleasant discovery, that one of my spell jars that I had done two months ago when I moved into my new apartment had grown fuzzy white mold! I have never had any type of spell jar to do this before so I knew this was a very negative development and it had to be gotten rid of and removed immediately! This mold had permeated into everything I had in the jar, it was even stuck to the spell paper. So last night, I took apart this jar, intending to clean it out, and throw away the ruined contents. The minute I popped off the lid of this jar, I felt a tingling, warm sensation all over my skin as if I had just released and removed a stagnated and blocked energy, and this tingly warm feeling lasted the entire time while I cleaned the jar, washed the stones, and disposed of the ruined materials that were in the jar. I even heated the wax remnants from the previous spell candles I had used on the top of the jar and got rid of that too. I was advised that when a spell jar molds, or otherwise goes bad for any reason, all herbs, roots, papers, and biodegradable materials have to be removed and buried into the earth. In my case, it all got wrapped in brown paper, and taken to the garbage bin. I cannot be seen burying stuff on my landlady's private property, so my stuff had to go inside the bin, and the trash truck will take it off. The point being is that my ruined contents that were in the jar, and the negative energy that accumulated will now go far away from me.
The tingling warm sensation that I received from cleaning out the molded mess was a positive sign that I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing at the time. The negative energy that had accumulated inside the spell jar was released and unblocked and is now going to be removed from me and my life. I feel like this was why I felt a lot of emotional turbulence today, I needed to also release and let go of a few things that had been pushed away into the back of my mind and today Venus comes out of her slumber and is about to be awakened again. Not hard to see the correlation there. I feel like when I rework this jar along with the Uncrossing spell I am going to work on tonight, that I will see a far different result manifest! I am going to go for a bit, I have that spell to be working on in a hour's time! I will be back again soon and Bright Blessings to All!

Full Moon 8-29-2015
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. Today is the Full Moon, and I started today by watching my daughter Jasmin leave and go back home to Maine, at 7:30 am this morning. Definitely not the most fantastic and joyous way to start the day and I have to say my mood is heart rending miserable right now. Full Moons are for "releasing" and "letting go" of things, people, situations, and emotions that you need to allow to leave your life in order to make room for other things to manifest and come into your life. My daughter will return next June..as she spends her summer break with me, and spends the rest of her year with her Father in Maine.
Despite a lot of very negative past issues and a bitter and devastating divorce, He and I managed to still maintain and cultivate a strong friendship and we get along to a extent, at least from a distance. I honestly cannot say that I know of too many other divorced couples that have managed to achieve that. We tried reconciliation at one point, let me say that did not go well for either of us. Too many things had been damaged and destroyed between us on too many vital levels for the love to be rekindled in the way it once was..and it took us both a very long 5 years of time to finally get to the point where we are right now, where we can talk about things,and where we can spend brief amounts of time together and it be comfortable and amicable. I am not in love with him anymore as I was 10 years ago, and if I had it to do over again I can confidently say that I would not. It would not be a smart move for either of us to try and go through all of that again. He has recently remarried.. and although I personally feel like that might have not been a wise or well thought out decision on his part or even for the new wife.. that is not my decision and is out of my control. I have to keep most of my thoughts and opinions about that situation to myself, even if I feel I may be right.
I have also moved on..I have let other people be in my life, and I have also allowed myself to give my heart to another, or rather, Goddess and God literally brought that blessing into my life at a very crucial moment.. during a day very similar to today.. and even thought that situation currently is also not going as I wish it would.. there is a reason for that too even if I do not know all the answers as to why yet.
I was supposed to have done my Money Spell last night but I didn't get to, I was too busy making sure Jasmin was ready to go home and my family and personal obligations take precedence over anything else. So tonight I will improvise and do a similar spell and make sure all of my bags, crystals, and tools are left out to charge in the moonlight. I will also write a small petition to ask for a release of the things and emotions that make me feel unhappy and sorrowful, and ask for something positive and meaningful to come around to help me cope with my sense of incompleteness and how it is that my life does not feel whole or fulfilling without my Flower physically being here in mine and her brother's lives. Me sitting here driving myself into a fit of depressed misery will not change anything and will not serve me any real purpose. Time is ticking by quickly today, so best for me to get off my behind and get to work, so I will see you all later, and I will update again soon. Have a Blessed Day!
