Today is Thursday, May 16th

Thursday is the day of the planet Jupiter, dedicated to Thunor(Thor), God of thunder and agricultural work. His parallels in various European traditions are Zeus, Taranis, Perun, Perkunas and St. Olaf. The faith of the Northern Tradition holds Thursday sacred, just as Islam reveres Friday, Judaism the Sabbath(calculated from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday), and Christianity, Sunday. This is why almost all adages about Thursday are positive, such as “Thursday’s child has far to go,” “Sneeze on Thursday, something better,” or “Cut nails on Thursday for wealth.” Thursday rules controlled optimism, energetic growth, physical well-being and material success.

I am a Solitary Practitioner. For those of you who don't know, that means I am 100% witch. I have no Path that I follow but I do lean toward Celtic rather heavily. I have interests in other Paths. Since I am a Solitary, I pull what I need from other traditions and weave it so it suits my needs. I also have other interests beside witchcraft. I like to ride horses in the cool Spring mornings and late in the Summer evenings. I love to go for nature hikes, I love animals (all shapes and forms). I like making as much of my food as possible. I am not really into anything store bought. I am a pure Naturalist.
