Hello everyone & Bright Blessings, I have returned after what is again a ridiculously long absence. There have been some interesting changes since I was last here, firstly, that I and my partner, were married, on August 13th 2017! Marriage is supposed to be a journey, one filled with highs, lows, and everything under the sun but I feel we both have the strength it takes to succeed. Jobs have come and gone, things at our home have changed, but we are managing, despite what appears to be a unreliable economy for employment. "Tax time" is a bad time of year to get another full time job, because businesses are doing fourth quarter inventories and gearing up for tax season, they focus more on finances and reports, than they do hiring more employees.
Secondly, I want to announce my new start up "Sacred Star Apothecary and Curios" , of which a separate blog post can be found on here: " Sacred Star apothecary & Curios"
despite Ravenwolf's blog being my more visited blog, I do write a couple of others, as I can't have business, personal, and pagan blogs being mixed around in a ridiculous mess. Sometimes you can't mix genres around too much, people get confused.
We have the only supermoon of 2017 AND a Mercury Retrograde debuting on December 3, 2017, and I cannot say that I am looking too forward to that. I dread retrogrades because every time we have a Mercury Retrograde, it seems our lives hit the ditch and we find ourselves scraping by and a gazilllion things seem to go wrong, or just come to a grinding halt. I foresee that my online business venture will hit a slump, and my college courses might hit a snag too, luckily, I have extended time to finish out the term. I also foresee some of my other work to slow to a crawl, as everything tech related or communication related is ruled by Mercury, so I expect a lot to go on the fritz. So, before the communication grids go down, I would like to ask, that everyone that reads this blog, can you please pop over to this page : Sacred Star Apothecary's Facebook and give us a like and a share? I need the word out about my new business as much as possible, and I can't achieve that without everyone's support. I know this blog reaches people across the world, and right now I need the world to know my name and what I'm trying to accomplish!
In other witchy news, Friday December 1,2017 is when I am due to work another of my monthly Money Drawing spells, and I am adding in some Road Opening elements to it this time, in a attempt to keep the doorways of communication and success open, if only just a crack. I found a fantastic wholesale supplier for some much needed pagan and spiritual business supplies, to help me create my own products. You cannot run a business without a reliable source of supplies, and lucky me, those are some exceptional wholesale discounts on some really good products. This was the absolute only place that I found Abre Camino Palo sticks, and priced very good! Abre Camino wood or shavings is the main ingredient in Road Opener formulas, and to find a real piece of it to add to your ritual oils and powders is indeed a blessing!
I have to admit, that I find this period where the upcoming retrograde, is already taking its toll on my emotions and my inner self, the grey and rainy weather doesn't help much. I find myself feeling either really worn out, or prone to moods of melancholy and frustration. Maybe this added Road Opening element that am about to add to my next working, will open some blockages in other areas, and not just financial. I will not trouble my audience with my melancholic views, instead I will leave you all with a positive post. Until I return, hopefully soon, Blessed Be to All!

Some good news... 6/21/2017
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, once again, it has taken me too long to update, and at some point I am going to have to get back to my weekly updates as this trend of not updating has to come to a end. I hope everyone that has been reading and following this blog, that you all know how much that means to me, that you all are still reading, despite my absences. It is nice to know that I am not being forgotten and my words still have a meaning!
As to what I have been up to? Well I have to now formally announce my engagement to my partner of 12 months, his name is William Phillips. The date was June 3, 2017 . We have most definitely had our share of ups and downs and everything in between, but what relationship is made of roses and glitter? Just for the record, I was the one that proposed, yeah, rather bold move on my part! We are still by some miracle of Higher Powers, living at the apartment we rented in October of 2016, and that has been hard to manage. Finding and keeping that elusive thing called a full time job, has become something like a quest for the Holy Grail. I have to ask what does it take to prove that we are more than worth a opportunity and that we are quite qualified candidates? My partner started his first day with a new company today, but unfortunately for me, that has yet to be the case. I just hope for both our sakes, that something good comes along soon. I can't keep up this hand to mouth trend forever.
On the magical end of the spectrum, I have to say that I have not made a lot of time for full scale rituals except for a good cleansing here and there, and two Money spells that I try very hard to get done on that day of Friday before the Full moon. The last one I just recently done on June 2nd. also, during this week, I have gotten in contact with a rental company about renting a new apartment in the county next to us, so we just might be moving soon. That is yet another reason why I need FT funds ASAP.
On a brighter note, my younger daughter is coming for summer break, and you can bet your broomstick that I am counting the hours until Sunday, when my little flower will be with me again. She only becomes more beautiful each and every time I lay eyes on her, some days, I feel a sense of time creeping up on me, as now both kids are 15 and 12, and I realize how little time there is left, before they are really adults, and they are ready to go out in this harsh and demanding world we live in. I suppose I can only hope that what I have tried to teach them over the years, has some lasting impacts, and they make the best possible decisions for themselves.
It seems that my college classes have hit a slight nosedive, as two classes that I took this term, were dismal failures, and I will be retaking them again. Accounting is nowhere near my strong suit, and professional Word processing was a form of torture. I have intermediate experience with Word, as I use it to write my blogs, for writing my books, and the occasional other document. Nothing prepared me for what I encountered with the college's version of teaching us how to create professional documents, and how to use the plethora of features and functions of Word. The "Lab" online work tool that I have to use for the course, was a nightmare to figure out, and let me say that I struggled horribly. I was not aware that there were 1001 uses for a simple function on a Word program. I am just glad, that this week I have term break, so I can at least recuperate some fried brain cells.
When I am in here again, I will have something more witchy to discuss, and I will concoct a new spell or potion to give you all something new to try out. Until then, Blessed Be, and have a great week!

A Long Overdue Update.... 3/10/2017
Hello Everyone and Bright Blessings, first let me apologize profusely for the very long absence. Alot has happened since the last time I was in here. Since September 2016, I have moved with my partner Chris, and we have had our share of ups, downs, and in-between, at present moment we are struggling to keep up our apartment and our business and financial endeavors have been shaky, but are slowly improving. We are searching for another place to move to, as bills are eating our finances faster than we can replace them. Jobs here are hard to find, and we are seemingly both stuck with being self -employed for the time being. I know this all sounds gloom and doom, however there are some bright patches of light peeking through the clouds.
I am still a student in my Business Management studies, and let me tell you that Accounting has to be the hardest thing I have yet to try and learn. It is safe to say that I will not be pursuing a career as a full time accountant!
Today, we are going to do a new money spell that I have planned out. An idea struck me , while we were recently at the local library, I was there doing a book event for my published books, and while I was outside taking a break, I was looking at the pretty landscaping rocks that was part of the grounds there, and the words "let this rock become the foundation for success" flitted through my mind, and I looked carefully for a rock in their gardens, that I felt suitable to use as a "foundation" for my new spell. I picked out a smooth white one, it is a piece of regular white feldspar quartz, I'm sure you all have seen similar, they are white with bits of clear shining through them. So this rock, is going to serve as the foundation for a new success spell, and being added to it is dirt from four different banks, said dirt is believed to produce prosperity when used in Earth spells. I already have a dressed candle made, hand poured and dusted with herbs and gold magnetic sand. Next is the spell paper that needs to be written out. Ready made stick candles work just fine, but I like to make my own sometimes, as those have your energy crafted into them for a specific purpose. Tonight is the Friday before the Full Moon, which is my usual time to be doing money spells. Earlier I remade new batches of Money Drawing and Better Business powders... they smell fantastic. I apologize again, for this is going to be a short post, I have the money spell to do, and time is ticking by faster than I would like. To all Blessed Be, and I will return soon.
