Today Is Friday, March 3rd

Friday is the day of Venus. It takes it name from Frigg, the Goddess of love and transformation. She rules the spiritual side of a person that manifests in the physical. Because of this, Friday is often thought of as dangerously unpredictable. This is expressed in an old East Anglian adage:

Friday’s day will have its trick
The fairest or foulest day of the week.

March and the Storm Moon

This Full Moon occurs between February and March in the sign of Pisces. The theme for this Moon is “Desire” as we solidify the goals that were born at Winter Solstice when the Spark brought the idea into on the radar of our mind. Because Pisces is very mutable and adaptable as a sign, the energy around this Moon allows us to weather the storms that come into play as we receive our confirmation and redirects from God as to what to plant in Spring. It also encourages us to use the brewing storm of our desire and passion for what we are harvesting in creative and inventive ways while we remain attuned to the natural flow and progression of the year.

The Sky This Week for March 3 to March 5

Open star clusters visible with binoculars, the Moon at perigee, and other cool things to look for in the sky this week.
By Michael E. Bakich

Friday, March 3

The Moon is at perigee, the closest point in its orbit around Earth, at 3 a.m. EST. It will then lie 229,324 miles (369,062 kilometers) away. But because the Moon’s orbit is not circular, its distance from Earth varies by some 13 percent. Still, this morning’s perigee is the second farthest during 2017. The only perigee further will occur in September, when the Moon will lie 798 miles (1,284 km) farther away.

Saturday, March 4

Head outdoors around 10:30 p.m. local time and look for the sky’s fourth-brightest star rising in the east. That’s Arcturus (Alpha Boötis), the luminary in the constellation Boötes the Herdsman. The easiest way to find Arcturus is to first find the Big Dipper, which tonight stands high in the northeast. Note that the Dipper’s handle is curved. Follow that curve downward and you’ll come to Arcturus. Because the handle’s curve is also part of a circle called an arc, use the old phrase, “Follow the arc to Arcturus,” to remember how to locate the orange star.

Sunday, March 5

First Quarter Moon occurs at 6:32 a.m. EST. If you watch carefully, you may see the half-lit orb rising in the northeast just past noon local time. Geometrically, First Quarter means the Sun-Earth-Moon angle equals 90°. When this angle, where Earth always represents the vertex, is 0°, we experience New Moon. That’s when the Moon and the Sun line up. At 180°, the Full Moon lies opposite the Sun as we see it and dominates the night. And when the angle is 270°, the Last Quarter Moon rises at midnight and sets 12 hours later.

Call me crazy but I feel this undying need to praise our Divine Mother this morning. The National Weather Association finally released the mph for the freak tornado that went over us, it was 110 mph. For our house to survive such winds the Goddess had to put Her loving and caring arms around our house and protect us from those winds. There is no other explanation to be had.

Glory be to our Divine Mother!

Glory to our Almighty Goddess!

I honor you today and every day of my life to come.

You are my protector, my guide and most of all my loving Mother!

Glory Be To You, my Divine Mother, Goddess, & Protector!

All Glory & Praise To You!

Hot-linked as usual

Well if nothing else is getting done, I have got yesterday’s and today’s spell of the day up and running on the podcast. One spell is a Witchwood Spell is to dispel evil intent and drive it away. The other is an Uncrossing Spell its purpose is to send away any bad vibes sent your way by the envy or spite of another. Enjoy!

I don’t know if you have watched it on the national News or not, but…..our area currently looks like a war zone. Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky were all hit and hit hard by tornadoes.  The tornado that hit our area, came out of no where, the National Weather Service didn’t even have time to issue a warning. It hit about 3:00 in the morning.

 

Earlier that evening, I had took my little pup outside to use the bathroom this was long before the tornado ever hit. My pup used the bathroom and while he was doing so, I kept hearing the wind roaring in a distance. It was strange, I knew at that time, it wasn’t close but the roar sounded just like a train and very loud. It was a sound I have heard three other times, the sound of a tornado. I called Mystie outside and asked her if she heard it. She told me, “no, I was crazy and come on in.” I didn’t and I stayed outside a bit with my pup. It was for sure that Kade (I am tired of calling him my pup, that’s his name), he heard what I was hearing. That was all the confirmation I needed. We came in and without anyone knowing it I took the proper precautions to protect us. That night, we lost power and the next thing the tornado hit. The house shook something terrible but the tornado went over us and hit every other house in the neighborhood. Like I said it looks like a war zone. It was just strange though, that I heard the tornado coming long before it hit here. I honestly believe it was a warning from the Goddess what was going to happen. It is the only thing I can believe. The other ladies that work here, I did call them and told them a tornado was coming and they also thought I was crazy. “The storms are going around us, we’ll be fine,” yeah, right! They have the day off to clean up their properties and they are wondering how I knew that freak tornado was coming.

 

Our power finally came back on sometime during the night. There were more than 200,000 people without power and us being in the stick, I guess we were last to get back up. Kade is scarred for life or at least right now. The night we were outside and he heard the winds, he won’t go outside by himself now. Hopefully, he will get back to normal soon. It has turned off cold here now and taking him to the bathroom at 4 in the morning it is rather chilly. But everyone else if off and cleaning up their property and I am the only working today. I am going to enjoy the peace and quiet, and also thank the Goddess that She warned me of what was coming. I am going to update the sites and tomorrow, we will be back to normal operations.

 

I would ask that you pray for this area and all the others effected by these tornadoes. There is a lot of rebuilding to be done and people lost everything. I can sympathize with them, we have lost everything not too long ago. So please pray for this area and its people.

Thank you and Praise Be To Our Goddess,

Love ya,

Lady A

Please pray for Lady Beltane also. I know she is in Missouri and I haven’t heard anything from her, let’s us pray that her and her family are fine and made it through the tornadoes.
