I have been trying to do some deep cleaning our home and lost track of time today besides pitting myself in a lot of pain from over doing it. This is why no posts went up this afternoon. All the posts will be up tomorrow.

A Laugh for Today
Why M&M’s Are Wiccan
- MM = Merry Meet
- Round shape for wheel of the year, cycle of seasons
- Skins are different colors, but the inside is the same chocolate, because we are all related
- Associations with the colors:
- Red = South
- Green = West
- Dark Brown = North
- Yellow = East
- Orange = For the Solar God
- Light Brown = For the Earth Mother
- Rotate the M & M:
- M = 13th letter of alphabet, and there are often 13 members in a coven
- 3 = Triple Goddess, three phases of moon
- W = Witchcraft, Wiccan
- E = Enlightenment

Goddess of the Day – Fortuna
Fortuna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fortuna (equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche) was the goddess of fortune and personification of luck in Roman religion. She might bring good luck or bad: she could be represented as veiled and blind, as in modern depictions of Justice, and came to represent life’s capriciousness. She was also a goddess of fate: as Atrox Fortuna, she claimed the young lives of the princeps Augustus’ grandsons Gaius and Lucius, prospective heirs to the Empire.
Her father was said to be Jupiter and like him, she could also be bountiful (Copia). As Annonaria she protected grain supplies. June 11 was sacred to her: on June 24 she was given cult at the festival of Fors Fortuna.
Witchcraft Symbols, Terms and Definitions

Moon Alert
After 4 AM EST today (1 AM PST) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You will be surprised today about how much you emotionally identify with your possessions. (“My precious!”) This is why you might not be willing to lend something to someone. Or you might find yourself feeling you have to defend yourself where there is really nothing at stake.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today and tomorrow the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more sensitive to the feelings of others. Therefore, your feelings and reactions might be heightened. Nevertheless, the good news is that your luck will be a tiny bit better. Ask the universe for a favour!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a curious day because with Mars in your sign, you are confident and proactive. Nevertheless, today the Moon is hiding in your chart, which will make you be tempted to withdraw from others and keep your feelings secret. “I wasn’t there. I didn’t see anything.”
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your emotional contact with friends and members of groups is important to you today. You might feel more protective and supportive than usual to someone. This is a good day to examine your overall goals and make sure they are an expression of what you (not others) want to do.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today you are noticed more than usual. Details of your intimate and personal life seem to be on public display for some reason. Do be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. This is a good day for any kind of public relations work or sales.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today you have a strong urge to get away from your daily routine and go off somewhere to find adventure or do something different. Ideally, you would love to travel. At least, you can be a tourist in your own town. Enjoy meeting new friends from foreign countries and different backgrounds. Do something different!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are a people pleaser; nevertheless, today your response to others might be more emotional and more intense. (This will surprise you as well as others.) You might find that you want something that someone else has. Or perhaps you have strong opinions about an arrangement with shared possessions?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today and tomorrow the Moon is opposite your sign, which means personal relationships and partnerships will be a stronger focus for you. Conflicts will be more emotional. Therefore, guard against knee-jerk reactions. Avoid saying or doing anything you will later regret.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Very likely, today you will have to put the emotional or practical considerations of someone else before your own. You might perform a service for someone or do a favour for them. Meanwhile, your health or something to do with your pet might concern you today.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Romance will be more passionate and emotional today. In part, this is because it’s difficult for you to conceal your feelings from others today. Don’t worry about this. You might also feel overprotective about your kids or the care of someone else.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today it will please you to withdraw to the privacy of your home and enjoy relaxing in familiar surroundings. Some of you might have a heart-to-heart discussion with a family relative, especially a female. Try to be lighthearted and laid-back about things.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today you feel a need to have a connection with others, which is why you want your conversations with daily contacts to be meaningful. You won’t be satisfied with superficial chitchat or shallow conversations. You want the skinny about something. Wazzup?
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Debra Jo Rupp (1951) shares your birthday today. You are sensitive to the world around you and the feelings of others. Therefore, avoid negative energy, which will drain you. Take care of yourself this year because service to others will be an important theme. It’s also a good year for a personal makeover.
