The Sky for the Month of March

 

March 17: Venus and Mercury

The Sun’s two closest planets are staging a switcheroo. Mercury is climbing higher into the evening sky, while Venus is dropping out of the sky. Venus is the brilliant “evening star,” with much fainter Mercury close to its lower left tonight.
March 18: Moon, Antares, Saturn

The planet Saturn is in good view early tomorrow. It looks like a bright star to the lower left of the Moon at first light. The bright star Antares stands about the same distance to the lower right of the Moon.
March 19: Vernal Equinox

Those of us in the United States will wake up to a new season tomorrow. Spring begins at 5:29 a.m. CDT, which is the moment of the vernal equinox. It occurs when the Sun crosses Earth’s equator from south to north.
March 20: Crater

The constellation Crater, the cup, is visible this month in the southeastern evening sky. Its stars are faint, so you need dark skies to find it. To ancient European cultures, Crater represented the birthplace of storms.
March 21: Milky Way Clouds

The stars of the Milky Way intertwine with clouds of gas and dust that can span many light-years. Some of them are bright and colorful; others, dark and quiet. The dark clouds are giving birth to new stars. They are dark because their gas is cold.
March 22: Winter Circle

Spring has already sprung, but a great pattern of stars named for winter still dominates the western evening sky. The Winter Circle includes some of the most prominent stars of all, including Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.

Some Irish curses that I grew up and now some of them are rather humorous and some of them are very deadly. But for those amongst us that enjoy these kinds of things, I thought, why not? All Irish curses take the same form, they are intended to be said to the victims face, many people spit on the ground after delivering the curse, or crossing themselves. Who knows the wrong look and you could have been cursed!

 

 “May the worms devour your dead body, and may the rains do harm worse.”

That’s right, IT IS IRISH HERITAGE DAY here on the WOTC! I told  you we don’t celebrate St. Patrick because of what he did to our brothers & sisters the Druids. I know, long time to hold a grudge but someone has to preserve our history. In case you don’t know what I am referring to, the snakes that St. Patrick was suppose to have drove out of Ireland, well truth be told, Ireland never had snakes. The snakes he drove out was another name for the Druids in Ireland. He was on a mission to exterminate each and everyone of them. It is a story all to familiar to a witch. It would be like us celebrating the Pope who started all the witch hunts back in the day. Anyone who tries to wipe out an entire race of people, should never be labeled a saint nor should they hold the title of Pope. You will find information on here about Patrick but it is all leading up to his plans to exterminate the Druids. That is the only reason he will be on here today at all.

 

Oh, by the way we have a new internet provider, Comcast and we are getting ready to see how they do. Without further a’do let’s get this show on the road.

 

Happy Irish Heritage Day,

Love Ya,

Lady A
