Rainy Day Road Trippin

Autumn in New England is everything. Snow here is great too, but Autumn is my favorite. I don't have to go far, or even somewhere special. Just a simple walk through a parking lot offers the perfect photo opportunity.

Today's drive up to Massachusetts was a rainy one, but beautiful nonetheless.

Now is the time to surrender and release your doubts and fears to a higher purpose.

Harvest Moon

The Season of the Witch is here and I feel alive again! The Harvest Moon brings the best joy to me... I remember the first one I celebrated with my little coven here. We trekked all the way out to a farm and waited... Rebecca laid in a field, bored lol and the Tor and Ash played around in the grass by the side of the road. We never saw Her rise, so we left and went to get ice cream. From the parking lot of DQ, we saw Her. Huge and orange and stunning. Lesson learned... It doesn't need to be pushed. It needs to be natural. The way all my Magick comes to me. 

Today I celebrate another beautiful Harvest Moon. Another year of being a witch. 

It Is Time

Judgement

Judgment

Just 2 days ago I stood in the Witch Garden and asked the strong North Wind to swirl around me and make my Magick new. I felt revived and ready to make things happen. Tonight, on the Full Moon, I see clearly as She shines brightly over my head that a new beginning is in the making. Marks of a New Beginning.  A chance to start again.  Leave behind past mistakes.  When all seems dark, there is Hope for a bright future.

Flashes of the future, sudden understandings of the past and for telling of the future are yours.  I will protect you while you sleep and follow through on what you now clearly see.

International Cat Day

I grew up with a house full of cats. It started with one, Miki. A beautiful Siamese Himalayan mix that would talk to us and play hide and seek. She was beautiful. Then 2 kittens were left at our back door step. I never knew just how those people knew my mother would take them in… that she was a cat lady, but we welcomed Sonny and Bonnie into our lives. After the Silver Anniversary gift of Alexander, the silver shaded fluff ball worth A LOT of money, the order of appearance for the rest of them is a blur.

It was yearssssssss later, married with the girls and still wanting a cat… my familiar… and the answer was always NO! I regretted not paying more attention, not really enjoying and working with those first cats while I was growing up. I’d probably never have another.

And then Phee walked into our lives. She was a beautiful mess. Most of the fur on her back was gone. She had 2 gaping sores (one on each side of her rear). I was afraid to touch her. She purred and rubbed all over me, still afraid to touch her. I would pet her head and then go wash my hands. I had no idea what was wrong with her. I bought cheap cat food to put out for her, which in turn brought several other cats around lol. Then she started sleeping in the back of the truck in our garage at night. We brought out blankets. She would wander during the day and I was always so afraid she wouldn’t come back. But she would be right back under the blankets at night. Eventually we were allowed to take her to the vet and if she would be ok, we could bring her into the house. I almost dropped over. So, off to the vet she went. There was noting seriously wrong with her, she stopped licking the sores and they healed. She still loves to pull her fur out, but she looks a million times better. She has grown into a beautiful cat.

It’s hard to believe that was 3 years ago.

She is my Magick girl, we do a lot of work together. During our head butts I ask for her help. She helps with my Tarot, she helps with my whispering… she’s there for all of it. She follows me nearly everywhere, sleeps with me at night, hangs out with me during the day. I was lost without her and now I have my beautiful familiar Phee. I am so grateful she walked into our yard, walked into our lives and into our hearts.

Dark Moon filled with making wishes come true

I don't celebrate the Full Moon with much excitement other than looking forward to the first glimpse in the night sky and take some pictures. I do, however, take full advantage of the light to do Tarot Readings and seek the much needed answers to hard to answer questions. With all the light shining truth on everything, it's my perfect time for that kind of Magick.

But the Dark Moon speaks to me with all the Magick of a darkened night sky when I feel the nightkind watching me and protecting me. The darker, quieter, pulled-inward side of me thrills in all that darker Magick. There are no Tarot readings, or questioned asked. There is no light enough for that. Instead, I pull the nightkind closer to me and ask only for their guidance and the strength to do what needs to be done in the month ahead. New goals or dreams. New wishes to make come true. New possibilities and endless opportunities for the new month ahead. I ask that they keep me focused on those tasks, because I know a good strong breeze will blow and I will find myself forgetting what I was supposed to do.

This purple mosaic-style bulb becomes my light. For one night a month only. The night of the Dark Moon <3
