Simple

Tonight I am keeping my ceremony simple. Simple altar, cleansing, smudging, draw a circle, invoke only the Elements and Brigid. Meditate, pray, Jin Shin Jyutsu, ask for healing for my clients and friends, be very still and quiet. Devoke and Open. Hopefully sleep. Oh, and I have all my sacred waters and oils on the window sill charging in the moonlight. Please Luna, bring me some gentleness and sweetness. Blessed Bee. 

Super moon

Not gonna do it!

I can tell you right now, that I am Not going to draw down the moon this Sunday. People can argue with me that the past 2 times I did it this year had not resulted in what I took as major fallout. 

    Well, it's my life, this stuff including people leaving my life, certainly appears to me to be directly a result of said ritual. 

Either way, I am not up to Luna kicking my ass. Certainly I will have a quiet ritual and simply 'Be' with how my life is right now. Perhaps muse abit on what I would like to manifest this Fall.

 Blessings. 

August 10 - Sturgeon Full Moon

August ~ Sturgeon moon

Because it is sturgeon season in certain parts of the world in August, its moon is called the sturgeon moon.  This is the month to give thanks. Not only to the Great Spirit, but to yourself too. So set this moon aside for pampering yourself and your family. Your magikal night can begin with a relaxing meditation and a personal reading for yourself.

Nevermore

Milkweed & Monarch Butterfly's

A Monarch Butterfly on

My milkweed plants!!!! I haven't seen on in FoCo since I was a kid. This is who I propagate milkweed for. This is an excellent omen. 

The Grain Mother

Hiking Alone

This AM as I laid in bed with a belly ache, I watched an episode of Elvis Costello: Spectacle with. This episode was with President Bill Clinton. They talked mostly about Jazz musicians but touched on issues like Katrina and helping reestablishing the musicians as the heart of the place. Clinton listed 4 things he felt was essential to people with the last one being a sense of being 'Needed'.  I realize that I am lacking in that sense at this place in my life. My job gave me that outlet for being needed. They don't need me anymore. I am alone the majority of the time, I do not have any clients so my sense of purpose as a healer is inactive. I guess as a human 'herd/social' creature - I am cast adrift. I have always 'needed' myself and done well at nurturing myself, I am doing that today. It's weird. I guess most of my life I have avoided situations where 'need' was almost a dirty word, yet now that none is depending on me? At the very least, it is humbling. I think I am someone who 'needs' to work with people on some level. For now I will just keep taking care of myself so I can be a better person to eventually help others and be a great companion to those in my life.
