the muse struck....




sky goddess. star goddess.
moon goddess. night goddess.
stretch your celestial body
over your children.
mother night, waft your cool
jasmine scented breezes over us.
the sand is cool beneath my feet.
the air caresses my cheeks as i
wait for you.
you who knows all the answers
of all the questions.
the well is as deep as
the universe is large.
modern hands beat ancient drums.
the call has been made.
my fair everlasting muse!
play your lute for me!
you beckon to me like an insect who
cannot resist the one perfect beautiful rose..
i am yours.

woman of the wild
wise woman, witch woman
night woman, plant woman
celestial body
earthen body
land. sea. sky.
love. hope. peace.
meet me at the sea,
at the forest, in the grove,
windy mountain peaks and hidden caves.
i will be there when you call.

+++




ancient night
full white moon
ready for movement.
the lady watches
the nymphs dance
waves crash.
hair of spun gold above
sonnet worthy eyes
and a voice like a symphony.
the winds carry her song
east - south - west - north
round the circle we go.
she holds the key to unlock
the hidden door.
aphrodite. diana. freya.
whisper your secrets to the wind
she will hear them all
take the key.
she is waiting.

aphrodite incense
rose petals
lavender
clove
frankincense

- equal parts of all. I like to keep my ingredients a little rough, not ground into a powder. the rose petals work best crushed a bit fine.
this is my personal recipe. do not steal the recipe, but you may use it in your personal works.

movement

In my last post here I stated that I wanted to be a better blogger. I didn't do to well with that intention, so I want to begin again.

Since the last post I sold my house and moved in with my family, broke up with my boyfriend, and went spiritually "quiet" through the summer as I got myself back on track. I just started working day shifts at the hospital after working nights for over a year. I felt the night shifts were damaging my psyche and my drive to do pretty much anything. I was constantly tired.

I've been on day shifts for almost a month now and sleeping at night is getting easier, and I'm feeling a lot better. The fire for my spirituality has been re-lit and there are so many things I want to learn and do.

long term goals:
learn a divination system WELL
find people locally to celebrate and ritual with
find someone local to agree to let me apprentice with
take and complete Lucky Mojo's Hoodoo Correspondance Course
open my own botanica on etsy, hopefully if all goes well to transition to a storefront!!

short term goals, or things I'm working on:
daily meditation practice
banishment candle spell to get rid of feelings for someone
work on my recipes for the botanica
make protection mojo hands for my son and me
make protection / success / courage body wash for my son
make psychic power mojo hand
money stay with me candle spell
study local plants and trees
collect local wild herbs
