Good whatever time of day or night you have a chance to read this. I realized with all the regular daily posts I have been blowing up people’s email inboxes with over 20 emails per day which to me is excessive. The reason for so many of them to begin with is I am trying to get viewing numbers up which will bring my income from WordPress hopefully to the point of reaching the minimum of $100.00 USD per month to be paid by them. Instead of all these posts bringing viewing numbers up it brought them slightly down and I also lost a few followers. So, I am making some changes to the regular daily posts to bring the number of them down in the hope that it will bring the viewing numbers up. How you can help is after viewing a post or two through the emails look for something older that might be of interest to you. It is easy to do by using the “Search” box. Just type in a keyword or two to help you find a topic that interests you.
These posts are going to be rotating and will appear on specific days of the week listed below:
Flower Meaning, Symbol and Spiritual Meaning – Monday
Dream Interpretation and Symbolism – Tuesday
Corresponding Colors for Use in Spells and Rituals – Wednesday
Crystal, Gems, and Stones Meanings and Magickal Usage – Thursday
Witchcraft Symbols, Terms and Definitions – Friday
Herb and Essential Oils Magickal and Medicinal Uses – Saturday (posts will usually be done by Lady Rhiannon
Archangel – Sunday
Now we’ll talk about posting times. I have been trying my hardest to have daily morning posts start at 9:00 AM CDT and evening posts start at 5:00 PM CDT (which is 9:00 AM AEDT) but there are many days I just have a very hard time meeting these specific times. So, I just do not post them. I am now going to be posting when I get up in the morning and feel up to starting the regular daily posts the reasons being my private life, and my medical conditions I have talked about before. As for evening posts they will also go live now when I am able to get them up probably late morning or early afternoon. There may also be a big break between posts as I am supposed to only sit at my desk for 45 minutes every hour and move around for the other 15 minutes. Which I haven’t been doing and it has caused a lot of pain in my neck, back, and knees when I just sit for hours posting for all of us so, I am changing my sitting time at my desk to what my pain management doctor strongly suggested a few months back. Having very strict deadlines to meet is causing me stress on a daily basis which makes my fibromyalgia worse and anxiety attacks happening every single day which in turns makes it, so I don’t even want to look at a keyboard or computer because I am so afraid of forgetting to do a regular post or forget a key part in posting like a title for the post. But force myself to get on my computer and post which is not good for my physical and mental health. You can ask Big Dawg, my fiancée, in the comments section below how, (sorry if the next words offend anyone but I need to truly be me when I am doing posts like this) bitchy I am when I just sit and sit and sit some more to post, answer emails and everything else that is tied to WOTC. Which averages out to around 7 hours a day.
I will get everything posted on a more regular daily bases is my hope by not having deadlines to meet. I am also going to quit working 7 days a week down to 6 but will have what to me are the important posts up for my day off. Also, I am not going to be reposting things I have posted in the afternoon except the posts that are date sensitive these are Today in Worldwide History, Moon Goddess Current Phase, Northern Hemisphere Planetary Positions, Daily and Birthday Horoscopes.
I also spend time every day answering emails from students and other people.
Every month I hold a chat with my students and Sabbat gatherings when appropriate both of which take some advance preparation.
I do different types of readings every month. For the types of reading I do please visit Readings by Lady Beltane found in the main menu. I am doing a 40 to 60% price reduction on many of the reading until the Summer Solstice, Wednesday, June 21, 2023. The readings can make a wonderful, different gift for that someone you do not know what to get them for their birthday or other special or not so special occasions. My mom started years ago to give “I love you” present for no other reason.
Last but not least I put out single handily a witchcraft magazine eight times a year which includes information for both hemisphere’s Sabbats. More information about this will appear in another post soon.
All of these changes have taken effect with the evening posts for Sunday, March 2, 2023. Which are today posts for the southern hemisphere and tomorrow post for the northern hemisphere.
I hope these changes are not inconvenient for you but as I tell everyone else your health and family have to come first. As my health is hugely affected by stress and lack of sleep, I need to be more mindful of what I can do to have more good than bad days physically and mentally. So, it is my sincere hope that I do not lose any readers from the WOTC family due to these changes and actually gain more. As my right-hand witch, Graphia, told me I need to work smarter not harder, so this is now my goal.
THANK YOU TO ALL MY READERS THOSE THAT ALREADY FOLLOW ME AND TO THE NEW ONES FOR SUPPORTING ME AND WOTC! If you are interested in helping WOTC and myself donations can be made at any time by clicking on the “DONATE” button.
I ask the Goddesses and Gods to bless all my dear WOTC family with more positive things in you and your families’ lives.
