Good Saturday Afternoon! It's been a bit, hasn't it?

I must apologize for being off the net so long. It is totally my fault and I apologize. Forgive me? The last day we were even on the internet I can’t remember (which is terrible). I know that day we left very abruptly. Again I apologize.

It started out a very peaceful morning. I had my favorite two familiars with me, Kiki and Razzy. I know most people have one but what the heck! One (Kiki) senses the spirits that aren’t suppose to be here. Razzy will climb up on my shoulders and wrap herself around my neck (it is like having a thirty pound weigh hanging around your neck) when the spirit is a harmful one. I had watched poor Kiki till I was about ready to put her out of my misery. But Razzy made no attempt to protect me. So I decided everything had to stop immediately. So we went off the net, at the drop of my pointy hat, lol!

Since I already knew there was a spirit here. The next logically thing to do was to find out who it was. Was it a lost soul looking for help crossing over or a family member that had come back to pester me? I gathered up all my stuff and went to a very quiet and isolated part of the building. Along with me came Kiki and Razzy. Both of them took their places, which really amazed me about Razzy. She had never been around when I used the Ouija Board. But she knew exactly where she belonged. With one on one side and the other on the other side, I started my ritual for using the Board. I always make sure I am very well protected. I have the incense, the candles and most of all I call upon the Goddess for Her Divine protection.

When I first started the session, nothing would come forward. In a more firmer tone, I called to the spirit to come forth. This time it did. I ask the spirit if I knew it, the answer was yes. I had caught a faint smell of perfume. So I asked the spirit, if it was my sister. The answer again, yes. I will explain this part later. I asked the spirit if at the time of her death was she angry with me, the answer was yes. This hurt me very deeply. I asked the spirit if it would tell me why it was angry with me. The answer was no.  I told the spirit she was no longer welcomed in my home.  Never, ever return to my presence again. Then I closed the gateway.

When I emerged from the room, everyone must have known I was upset. I wouldn’t talk to any of them. I told them there was one last thing I had to do, cleanse the house. Which I did, every nook and cranny I could find, I cleansed. While I was cleansing, I was also thinking about the spirit being angry with me. I never did anything to my sister while she was alive. You have to keep in mind my sister was 22 years older than myself. So we weren’t that close.

I promised I would explain something to you and now I will. No one knows this except close, very close family. My family, the one I created. I don’t remember what day of the week it was but I do remember it was in the afternoon. I got a phone call from my sister’s mother-in-law. She called to tell me that if I wanted to see my sister alive then I might want to get over there. Hospice had been called in. I got in my car and rushed to my sister’s side. At the time, I didn’t know it but she had been sick for six months. No phone call or nothing telling me she was dying. At the end the cancer went to her brain and she didn’t even recognize me. I remember the night she passed very well. I was in here on the computer. The windows were open. A sudden gust of wind came from out of no where. It blew all my papers off the desk. Then it engulfed me. I can still remember being lifted out of my chair and my hair lifting up. I knew my sister had passed. I guess from the time I found out she was dying. I spent almost every moment of those two weeks I could with her. But the real kick in the gut and what I have walked around feeling so numb about came at the funeral. Her ex-husband wanted to know if my sister and I were in an argument or something. I said no and asked him why. He told me, my sister had known for the past six months she was dying. He tried every way in the world to get her to call me but she wouldn’t. He wanted to know why. I told him I honestly didn’t know.

I have walked around with that guilt of not knowing since her death which has been almost six years now. I will be honest. I had always hoped for a very joyous and cheerful reunion with my sister. I had always wanted to contact her on the Board. But my heart was broken all over again.  Then apparently my mother must have entered the pictured or someone did. All of a sudden all the good things I had done for my sister. She had no right to be mad at me. I hadn’t been the perfect sister but nor was I the evil one. I believe she deliberately did what she did. By not calling, by not letting me know she was dying on purpose. My father always told me she hated me. I use to think what a horrible thing to say. You see I wasn’t suppose to have happened but I did. My mother was pregnant with me the same time my sister was pregnant with her first child. My father told me, at the time they were both pregnant, my sister hated my mother and hated me even more. He told me comments she would make about the unborn child in her mother’s stomach. I couldn’t believe a blood relative could be that cruel but I see know I was wrong.

I found out a lot about myself the other day in just a few hours.  I learned I have been carrying around guilt (which was my sister’s intent to start with) for years. I learned that was her final knife she put in my back. If I had not did what I did, I would have walked around with that guilty and not knowing till the day I died. I know she had been here before but what made that day so special. What moved me to finally take action? I believe my Divine Mother got tired of me carrying around needless guilt and I was ready for the truth. I could handle the truth finally.

You see it is like I was telling you the other day. The Goddess reveals to us all things in time. But only She knows the time we can handle them.  Thank you, dear Mother, thank you!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 25: 'Family Day'

Today is called ‘Family Day — A Day to Eat Dinner With Your Kids.’ Even if your kids have flown the coop, you can still cosmically connect with them. Simply play some music in the ‘Children’ area of your living space (center or middle of the right-hand wall). Or you can ring a bell to activate the energies of this space as well. If you like, you can light a white candle in honor of the kids too. Activating the energies of this area will trigger timely blessings to be sent their way, whether you’re breaking bread with them tonight or not.

Your Animal Spirit for Today
    September 25, 2013 

Green Woman

Green Woman has magically floated into your life to remind you of the energy of fertility–fertility for a project, a garden, a love affair or conception. If there is fertile ground, it WILL bear fruit.  Green Woman encourages you to practice your own brand of magic, and to appreciate the talents you have that will, in the near future, give birth to a magical creation.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Sept. 25th is The Sun

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Sun

The Sun is our Cosmic Nurturer. Life flourishes under its radiant beams. It provides the illumination to find Truths and lights one’s path so we do not get lost. To stand in the rays of The Sun is to shine. To absorb its energy promotes growth, exceptional physical and mental health, and good fortune. The Sun is empowering, elevating and fills those who bask in it with confidence and sense of self-worth. While The Sun certainly doesn’t promise a life’s path without some bumps in the road, The Sun indicates all will be well.

As a daily card, The Sun indicates a time when you should be at your zenith. At moments like this all should be very clear to you. Solutions to dilemmas that have confounded you will become obvious. The opportunity to take giant steps towards attaining your goals is upon you.

Today's Tarot Card for September 25 is The Chariot

The Chariot

Wednesday, Sep 25th, 2013

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traditionally, the card usually entitled the Chariot points to a triumphal feeling of freedom, as if the charioteer is being paraded through the streets as a hero (or heroine). The card reflects congratulations for high achievement, and serves as a sign of empowerment.

Huge wheels and frisky steeds speed the rate at which the driver’s willpower can be realized. This kind of charge makes more of the world accessible to anyone ambitious enough to seize the Chariot’s reins. But there is danger in this feeling of freedom, because of the increased rate of change and its power to magnify mistakes in judgment. As a seasoned warrior, the Charioteer is called upon to be extra attentive to the way ahead.

 

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Sept. 25th

We may feel restless today yet we can’t isolate the cause of our emotional unease. We want to have a variety of choices and resist settling on any single option now that the Moon is visiting changeable Gemini. Meanwhile, romantic Venus forms a creative aspect with weird Uranus, luring our desires out of the traditional box. Nevertheless, it’s nearly impossible to know what’s real because the Sun aspects otherworldly Neptune later this evening.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although the dynamics between you and a close friend may be out of kilter, you can still talk yourself into thinking that everything’s just fine. Don’t lose track of your priorities if social pressures begin to unravel your plans. Focusing on what you need to do for your job is smarter than having to clean up a mess because you were distracted by personal relationship issues. Establishing clear priorities early in the day helps you avoid a crisis later on. Simply acknowledging another person’s feelings may be enough alleviate the tension.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might believe that you’re simply pursuing love today, but you could still get more than you bargain for if you’re too eager in your approach. Your key planet Venus is visiting your 7th House of Partners and her connection with rebellious Uranus pulls you into a complicated entanglement. You can’t trust your intuition now because you’re overly attached to your dreams. Thankfully, you can make a good decision by sticking to the facts when deciding your next move.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Satisfaction is elusive now because the Moon’s current visit to your sign might tempt you to find other pastures that look greener than yours. Nevertheless, you are committed to meeting your obligations today so you won’t likely escape on a whim. Appreciate the present moment and try to be grateful for whatever you have. Taking a mature approach to relationships could be enough to put your day back on track and calm your restless heart.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

If a friend or associate pushes back against your ideas today, you may be tempted to retreat emotionally. Even if you are secure in the relationship, your fear of rejection could motivate you to avoid the discussion entirely. You believe it’s easier to ignore your gut than to express whatever is in your heart — but it’s not. To the contrary, it’s healthier to share your concerns openly and allow the other person a chance to respond. You might be pleasantly surprised if you’re willing to take a risk.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Feeling a bit insecure today can lead to tricky relationship dynamics, especially if you believe that one of your friends or associates hasn’t been honest with you. In fact, people could be trying to make something appear better than it really is. Normally, you would be too clever for anyone to get away with misleading you, but now it’s also possible for your fears — rather than someone else’s actions — to amplify your anxiety. Double check the facts before jumping to any false conclusions.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might not know how to make sense out of your feelings today because you are temporarily losing your ability to remain logical while analyzing your options. Even if you try to separate fact from fiction, you’re more likely to accept whatever you are told now, setting you up for later disappointment. Keep in mind that choices colored by your subjective preferences will probably lead you astray. Paring back your options simplifies the decision-making process.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your vivid imagination is working overtime today and you’re preoccupied by a fantasy instead of what’s actually going on. You are being pulled in two different directions now, so you must be careful about choosing dreams over reality. Confusion about your own needs can lead to an unwise choice, so put off important decisions for a day or two until your clarity returns. In the meantime, practicing meditation helps you get in touch with your higher self.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Trying to recall a childhood experience is perplexing today because you might not be able to remember enough of the facts to know if it truly occurred or not. Either way, you realize now that there probably is another side to the story that you haven’t thought about. Take plenty of time and fill in the details. However, your desire for the truth may turn into an obsession, so it’s wise to know when to bring your thoughts back to the present and stop trying to rewrite your past.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Taking charge at home or in your community is where you shine today, but your assumption of authority could also create an awkward situation. Although you think you know what’s best for everyone else, people might disagree with your current strategy. Unfortunately, your sound logic won’t help to convince anyone that you are right. You may have to just let your friends and associates go off on their own to discover what’s true by themselves. Don’t let others rain on your parade.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be distracted now even if you’re usually quite astute when dealing with financial matters. If you see something that you immediately want to buy, it’s best to wait a few days before actually finalizing the purchase. Although you might believe that you deserve a reward for all of your hard work, impulsive spending isn’t a smart idea. Giving yourself the gift of personal time could make the payoff even better than you expect.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re confident that you’re being absolutely clear about your romantic intentions today, yet someone can totally misunderstand what you’re saying. Complications may arise if your repressed feelings are strong enough to color how you deliver your message. Keep asking for feedback along the way to ensure that your words convey exactly what you mean. Let your heart speak for itself.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your eagerness leads you to anticipate what someone wants from you now, but too much analysis can get in the way. Unfortunately, you’re likely to jump to the wrong conclusions without checking out your assumptions. Don’t stress if you have trouble meeting other people’s expectations today, since they probably have unrealistic hopes, anyway. Instead of worrying about anyone else, just do the best work you can and then move on. Believe in yourself; there’s no need to compromise when it comes to your integrity.

Current Moon Phase for Sept. 25: Waning Gibbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /58% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sept. 25

In keeping with recent themes, you may want to create a mental checklist of the major solar or planetary alignments that have occurred over the past few days that are still impacting human souls. Right now, it is definitely true that — in our collective subconscious as a species — the last Full Moon (September 19), the Pluto station (September 20), and yesterday’s Juno station are all influencing moods, feelings, thoughts and physical activities throughout humanity.  In addition, while the continuing transit of Gemini Moon is promoting learning programs, information exchange, and all kinds of correspondence, the distant planet Neptune is sending us powerful dreams, visions, as well as illusions, fantasies and hallucinations via a Mercury-Neptune parallel (10:13AM) magnified later on when the Sun forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Neptune (7:52PM). It is never a good idea to push forward with legal matters, important signings, and long-term commitments when Mercury and the Sun are simultaneously connecting in this manner with Neptune because too much of this planet’s shadow side can equate as a rising tide of confusion.  Keep evening adventures as serene as possible as the Sun moves on to make a caustic, 45-degree tie with feisty Mars (forming exactly at 12:15AM tomorrow).  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

We wish You & Yours A Very Blessing Wednesday!

I apologize for running late. Lady A and myself have been having a debate of sorts. Neither one of us won, an office girl stepped in and told us to both be quiet and get to work. Then she had to go home and change her pants after she realized who she told to get to work, hee, hee, hee! Well, we all know you never tell the boss to be quiet and get to work!!!

Now here come the daily’s…..

Good Afternoon My Dear Family & Friends that I Love So!

Celtic & British Isles Graphics
Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive. I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes. I have a rather nice hole in my hand but the cougar did not mean to harm me.  That’s the reason I ended up with the hole. The cougar was afraid it would cut me and jerked away, when this happened the claw dug deep into my hand. I have had worse than that before. It is really just part of it when you care for wild animals.

I will make this short as possible. I am very troubled and worried about some souls we have amongst us. I believe these individuals are like so many others that have come to us from another Religion. They have wrote me, that they are lost. They want to embrace the Ways of the Old but don’t know how to do it. My heart breaks for these people. Wanting to belong, but not knowing were they fit in. We must take them under our wing and help them in anyway we can.

I have had several that actually want to meet with me. I believe Mystie used my phrase earlier. I would be more than happy to meet with anyone seeking the Goddess. I know what you are hoping for, you will look into my face and there will be the answer. You won’t find the answer, all you will see is an average looking woman stare back at you.

I don’t have the ready made guide for accepting our Religion or our Goddess. But I can try to guide you and see if this Religion is right for you. Also there are other ways in serving the Goddess besides being a witch. Since most of you stated you were confused. I would forget everything I ever knew about the Religion I am coming from. Next, open your heart and your mind. Look for the unexpected. Because the Goddess will give you very subtle signs. She will also reveal information and wonders when She knows you can handle them. The Craft is nothing to rush. There is a year and a day involved in the study of our Religion. Nothing happens overnight, you have to learn it, work for and master it.

Now if you are still with me, I would start out by meditating to find how I am to serve the Goddess.  Meditation will clear your mind. It will help you think more clearly and be able to make decisions you are sure of.  Please don’t think you have to start out meditating for 2 or 3 hours. You can start out simply by meditating for 5 minutes and building up. Let you mind run free. Let it be open that the Goddess wants you to see. Behold the beauty of our Religion. You are entering a world of joy, love, beauty beyond belief. It is a world that only those who choose to follow the Goddess can see.

A world filled with wonders, beauty, love and magick that our mind can not take it all in. But given time, you will. You will live it and breathe it. You will be encompassed in the purest form of Love, the Goddess’ Love. For this is our Religion, Witchcraft.

Welcome dear brother and sister, we are glad you have come to join us. May you come to know the Goddess as each of us here has. May the Goddess fill your life with many blessings. Never close your heart or mind to our Divine Mother. There is always something new and wondrous to behold. Don’t doubt yourself any longer. Clear your mind of confusion and open your heart, the Goddess will do the rest. Only trust and believe in the Greatest Power you will ever know.

Blessings, Peace & Comfort,

Lady of the Abyss

Daily Feng Shui News for Sept. 24 – 'Cherries Jubilee Day'

If you’re looking for one of the best fruits to help cleanse your body and release toxins, then you’re in for some just desserts. Seeing that today is ‘Cherries Jubilee Day’ prompted me to want to share some other medical agendas that cherries have proven terrific in treating. They are an all-natural diuretic and eating them also helps with the prevention of kidney or gallstones, as well as arthritis, anemia and osteoporosis, to name just a few. They promote healthy teeth and bones, so they’re the perfect fruit to feed children. Cherries are delicious too, and that’s yet another reason to be jubilant about eating this powerful antioxidant food.

Your Animal Spirit for Today
    September 24, 2013

Magpie

Ancient culture associate Magpies with excellent fortune—so it looks like you’ve got something really terrific coming into your life today. However, you may need to search a little to understand the true gift that’s being presented. Pay attention to omens, messages, the clouds, feathers, bird song—your fortune is hidden in those subtle messages. Opportunity is knocking at your door—will you answer?

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Sept 24 is Magus

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Magus

The Magus is the physical embodiment of decisive action based upon knowledge and aimed squarely at specific goals. Thoroughly Yang by nature and firmly set in the material world, he none-the-less has a powerful spiritual connection as well. His knowledge, wisdom and skill are all encompassing. He is complete. His power as a creator is unmatched on our earthly plane. He is self-aware and unafraid to act. His enormous strength gives him the freedom to act as he chooses. However, responsibility comes with that freedom. Because he is not bound to the restraints of others he must choose how to act. The question that always lies before him is should he act morally, or forsake ethics for personal gain.As a daily card, The Magus suggest you currently possess a tremendous power and freedom to move your life in any direction you choose. In short, you can make things happen. Your true challenge at the moment is to move forward without trampling the dreams of others. Fortunately your moral fiber is strong as well, and will guide you down the right path.

Today's Tarot Card for Sept. 24th is The Lovers

The Lovers

Tuesday, Sep 24th, 2013

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally the Lovers card of Tarot reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.

Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.

Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.

 

 

 

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, Sept. 24th

Just before the Moon leaves void status in earthy Taurus by entering airy Gemini (12:35AM), a major asteroid — Juno — stops its retrograde cycle at 12:18AM and begins turning direct at 4 degrees of Aquarius. [Juno will remain in forward motion until December 15, 2014 when it will once again go retrograde at 18 degrees of Leo.]  Just because Juno is the smallest of the first four asteroids discovered between 1801 and 1807 doesn’t make it insignificant. As one of the great astrologers of the 20th century — Eleanor Bach — used to remark, smallness (a major Juno characteristic) is just as important as bigness (a key Jupiter characteristic). All Juno themes — emotional empowerment or dis-empowerment in primary partnerships as well as marriage bonds, peace, diplomacy, fair treatment under the law, fashion, style, elegance, beauty, but also rage or terror perpetrated by the small and dispossessed as they seek to get back at their large-scale oppressors — are emphasized. Juno is also related to atmospheric storms — in the actual sky as well as in the psychic realm within families, neighborhoods, communities, cultures and societies.  The prominence of Juno continues for this entire 24-hour time-period while the Moon in Gemini provides some lighthearted relief if you can spend several hours working on arts, crafts or hobbies. The Moon trine to the Sun (3:37AM) and in a supportive, 60-degree rapport with revelatory Uranus (10:02PM) can represent great opportunities for reading, writing, research, and studying advanced subjects.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.
