Whether you are new to witchcraft or already consider yourself a master practitioner, this tutorial will teach you how easy it is to make a manifestation box to your unique needs.
Wish Box: How to Create a Manifestation Box for Your Dreams
How To Make A Manifestation Box
Witches and pagans have used variations of this magickal tool for centuries, and today we’re going to help you make one of your very own. But first – why exactly would someone want to make a wish box?
Why Should You Make A Manifestation Box?
Manifestation boxes, also known as wish boxes, are visual tools that can help you bring your dreams and desires to life. The idea is to write down your wishes on paper and place them in the box, creating an intentional energy for drawing them into reality. Not only does this practice make making wishes tangible, but it also keeps our intentions contained in a physical space. This allows us to focus better on attracting our desires. Furthermore, manifestation boxes provide a place of inspiration and reassurance. With reminders of our hopes and dreams tucked away in the box, we can be sure that we always have a source of motivation within arm’s reach when times get tough.
A manifestation or wish box should be seen as less of a physical object, but rather a reminder of the power that you have to manifest your life’s desires. By creating this special sacred space and complimenting it with your desired affirmations and dreams, you remind yourself of what is possible with conscious thought and intention.
Remember that every day is an opportunity to manifest the world we each desire. Whether it’s your dream job, a new pet, or all of your heart’s desires, a wish box is a tool to help bring what you want into existence. With the right manifestation box, anything is possible. So, what would you manifest with a wish box?
You Will Need
A box with a lid
A sheet of paper and a pencil
That’s it! Feel free to add personal touches to your box such as paint, studs, rhinestones, colored paper, or whatever you see fit!
Cast A Wish Box Spell
Consider creating your manifestation box on either a full or waxing moon to draw in your desires. Your wish box is a spell, so feel free to use items with correspondences that will aid in your intention.
Cave Finds Reveal Ritual Practiced for Record-Breaking 500 Generations – Newsweek
Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of an Indigenous ritual in Australia that appears to have been practiced continuously for 500 generations—from as far back as 12,000 years ago to the 19th century—a study has revealed.
Remarkable findings from a cave located in the southeast of the country represent what is likely the “oldest archaeological evidence” for a ritual that has also been documented by modern ethnographers, study author Bruno David of Monash University in Australia, told Newsweek. (Ethnography—a branch of anthropology that involves the study of cultures—did not truly emerge as a scientific discipline until the 18th-19th centuries.)
“Nowhere else on Earth has archaeological evidence of a very specific cultural practice previously been tracked so far back in time,” David said in a press release.
The latest discoveries, documented in a study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, shed light on the rich cultural heritage of the GunaiKurnai—an Aboriginal Australian nation that is one of the world’s oldest living cultures.
At the invitation of GunaiKurnai Aboriginal Elders, David and colleagues undertook archaeological excavations at Cloggs Cave, located in Click here to read the rest of this article

Iridescent Clouds over Sweden
Image Credit: Goran StrandExplanation: Why are these clouds multi-colored? A relatively rare phenomenon in clouds known as iridescence can bring up unusual colors vividly — or even a whole spectrum of colors simultaneously. These polar stratospheric clouds also, known as nacreous and mother-of-pearl clouds, are formed of small water droplets of nearly uniform size. When the Sun is in the right position and, typically, hidden from direct view, these thin clouds can be seen significantly diffracting sunlight in a nearly coherent manner, with different colors being deflected by different amounts. Therefore, different colors will come to the observer from slightly different directions. Many clouds start with uniform regions that could show iridescence but quickly become too thick, too mixed, or too angularly far from the Sun to exhibit striking colors. The featured image and an accompanying video were taken late in 2019 over Ostersund, Sweden.

Moon Phase
The current moon phase for July 8th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 2.49 days old and 6.12% illuminated with a tilt of 143.385°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 396,404.82 km and the moon sign is Leo.
The Moon phase for July 8th, 2024 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.
In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.
In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.
The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase
Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You seem to be quite calm and actually enjoying yourself. Not really sure whether it is the Sunday atmosphere, you waking up in a good mood or actually for some natives, reaching to a level where you are finally happy with yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Couple wise, things seem to be in the right place for many natives but in some of these cases, at a deeper level, there might be some things everyone is holding as a grudge or similar for their partner and not everyone has the best intentions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You should offer yourself this Sunday to have a rest before next week kicks in, especially if that announces to be quite busy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a great day to use for practicalities, especially at home so do take advantage of the free time you might have.
At the same time you need to be careful to the way you are spending your money and running any kind of project you might be involved in because you tend to be quite despotic and people don’t often like that.
You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You seem to be very energetic today but at the same time you might let yourself quickly influenced by others and this will soon reduce your productivity.
Don’t listen as much to what they have to say, only if they are people you surely trust. Have more confidence in yourself and as long as you haven’t tried something on your own don’t admit it can’t be done.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is going to be a day in which you focus on your family and even chase them just to get the chance to spend some time with them.
Although it might look like a good idea to you, for some of them it might mean interrupting or delaying their own plans and this surely won’t make them happy or too responsive to your ideas.
You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You might wish to have more energy than you do today and would like to get involved in more things but will not end up doing so perhaps and this will bring your mood down.
Don’t take it on everyone else because this isn’t their fault but do make sure you have tried all it takes to have a good day and only then complain.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Financially speaking this might be quite a difficult day with you not being able to tend to all the things you would like to do because you might be on a tight budget actually.
Instead of complaining and spoiling not only your fun but also that of those around, maybe you should find ways to go round this minor setback.

It will overflow with passion and poetry. Make plans to do something with that special person in your life. My bathroom mirror will be covered in kisses.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a wonderful week for hard work and productivity. You’ll make meaningful progress doing home repairs, home renovations or home improvements. It’s a productive time to explore real-estate opportunities as well as real-estate speculation. Home businesses will be efficient and productive. Meanwhile, discussions with family members, especially parents and older relatives, will be helpful to you. This is a playful week for you as well! Although some of you will have ambitious ideas about vacations, the hospitality industry, and anything to do with the entertainment world. Entertain at home on Thursday, which is a loving, idealistic, romantic day. Light candles. Pop some bubbly.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a busy pleasant week. With Mars still in your sign, you’re pumped with energy! Nevertheless, with Venus in your House of Communications, you’ll be sweetness and light with everyone. (This is a powerful combination that will get what you want.) Enjoy schmoozing with others, especially siblings. Plans with family are ambitious and exciting. (This might apply to anything you want to do with family members including plans for repairs and home renovations.) Someone older, perhaps a friend or a member of a group, will have practical advice for you this week. Listen because it might be helpful to you. Thursday is a wonderful romantic day! You’ll feel so good, you’ll appreciate being alive and be grateful for your surroundings.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a strong money week. For starters, you’re enthusiastic this week, which means you’re entertaining big ideas, some of which might be business related, especially about how to boost your income. In addition, you can also attract money to you this week, so be on the lookout for this welcome opportunity. Right now, you impress bosses, parents and authority figures with your practical ideas and self-discipline. Don’t hesitate to share your thoughts about reorganizing things or establishing an overall plan for making something run more smoothly. Although Thursday is a lovely, romantic day, you might also want to purchase art objects and beautiful things like lovely clothing or jewelry. Enjoy!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This will be productive week for you, which means you will get a lot done. In part, this is because you have long-range practical plans. In addition, advice about legal matters and possibly medical or educational issues will turn out to be beneficial for you. Some of you will also make long-range travel plans for this year. Meanwhile, you’re optimistic because you have big money ideas and hopes for the future. “There’s gold in them thar hills!” Physical activity and competition with others might rev your engines. Do make time on Thursday to enjoy romance and lovely interactions with others, especially people who are different or from other cultures because this will be rewarding.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a productive week. You might choose to work alone or behind the scenes. Perhaps others might not even be aware of your accomplishments. (No matter.) Despite your penchant for privacy this week, you will be enthusiastic about sharing your overall plans for the future with someone. That’s because you feel optimistic about many possibilities. Business negotiations with others will be successful. This is actually a great week to study something that intrigues you. Thursday is a romantic day; however, your compassion and sympathy for those who are less fortunate will also be strong. Do what you can because you are a generous sign. (Remember: True generosity is giving what is needed.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You’re popular! This week you might have serious, practical discussions with a partner or close friend. These discussions could be about achieving practical goals in the future or securing something so that it is more dependable. Because you have a strong desire to travel, as well as explore further education, these discussions could relate to these areas as well. However, it’s not just that you are in a practical frame of mind (which you are) – this week, you are also quietly confident and enthusiastic about something. This is why relations with others, especially friends and creative contacts, will be quite beautiful and personally rewarding. Be open to sweet romance on Thursday.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Hello Libra! You still look fabulous in the eyes of others because the Sun is at the top of your chart (which happens once a year for four weeks) and this symbolizes that you’re in a flattering spotlight. In addition, this week others will see you as practical, reliable, conscientious and honest. (An excellent game face.) Obviously, you can use this to negotiate with others or ask for what you want, especially if it is work-related. Interactions with younger people, whether they are friends, acquaintances or members of groups will be upbeat and exciting. You might learn something new. Meanwhile, Thursday’s romantic energy could boost a flirtation with a boss or a romance with someone older or more established. (Someone is impressed by you.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a high-energy time for you because you’re excited about life and looking for ways to expand your world through travel or further education. You want to make something happen! In particular, you might have ideas related to the arts, publishing, the media or reaching out to others in a special way. You might share your ambitious ideas with bosses and important people to get their feedback. This week in particular, because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, you’ll be fascinated by everything to do with the arts as well as beautiful ideas, ideologies and concepts. Many of you will become romantically involved with someone from another culture, certainly someone “different.”
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a propitious time for you because financial advantages are waiting in the wings for you. For example, money, inheritances, gifts and advantages from others might come to you. You might see ways to solidify your home scene or improve where you live in a way that secures your future. You might be enthusiastic about studying and learning something new. What excites you might be something to do with travel or dealing with foreign countries. It might also be a publishing project or a chance to get further education. You’re working exceptionally hard now but you are accomplishing a lot. This Thursday offers you wonderful opportunities for passionate romance and warm affection, which will be meaningful. No question.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your relationships with partners (personal and professional) and close friends are important to you right now. Many of you are having serious discussions that have long-term benefits or repercussions. In addition, conversations and dealings with inheritances, shared property and jointly-held assets will benefit you. In fact, this is an excellent time to ask for an increase to your budget, or for better equipment related to your job because you will likely get it. Work-related travel is likely for many of you as well. Do make plans to do something special on Thursday with someone you care about because this is a sweet, affectionate, romantic day where feelings are idealized. Your dealings with someone will be meaningful and gratifying.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Issues related to your job will be rewarding for you this week. For starters, you will be focused and willing to work hard. You will pay attention to detail. You will want to get better organized and you will have a long-range view of things. Much of your planning will be related to earnings and assets. Fortunately, your discussions with a friend or a partner will encourage you to think big. You might see that some of the reasons you have held back from doing something were simply in your own head. Meanwhile, increased activity and confusion on the home front require your attention. (If you create better order at home, every aspect of your life will benefit.) A work-related romance will spring up for some of you – definitely.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This week is romantic, playful and fun-loving! Give yourself permission to enjoy life and take some time off for social outings, sports, as well as opportunities to enjoy the arts and playful times with children. Work-related travel is likely for many of you. Meanwhile, something might trigger big ideas that you want to explore that are related to your job, and in a few cases, these ideas might be related to your health. It will be easy for you to express yourself to others because your conversational style is direct and convincing! Meanwhile, Thursday is one of the most romantic days of the year and you’re in the mood for romance!

4 July 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere
Southern Hemisphere
4 July 2024
The current moon phase for July 4th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 27.86 days old and 3.35% illuminated with a tilt of -37.619°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 380,993.99 km and the moon sign is Gemini.
The Moon phase for July 4th, 2024 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).
In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.
The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Gemini.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Don’t go looking for trouble today because it can easily find you. Steer clear of arguments with authority figures, siblings, relatives and neighbours. Likewise, parents must be patient with kids who are having hissy fits or meltdowns. It’s one of those days.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Avoid power struggles with bosses, parents and authority figures, especially the police today because things could get nasty in a New York minute. You might also have financial challenges or someone older might create problems for you, especially a friend or a member of a group.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from parents and authority figures. Their response will likely be, “Talk to the hand.” Meanwhile, be smart and avoid controversial topics when talking to neighbours, siblings and relatives because you might be surprised at the response. Take it easy.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
People might be grumpy today, including you. This is not necessarily the case but there is a strong chance because the vibes are sort of negative today. Be smart and avoid power struggles about financial matters, earnings, cash flow and something you own. Postpone these discussions for another day.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today you’re obsessed about getting to the bottom of something. You will leave no stone unturned. However, this could create an argument with a spouse, partner or friend. In fact, a dispute with a friend about shared property might make things even worse. Stay chill.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
By nature, you’re an excellent researcher because you have a wonderful eye for detail; plus, you have an organized mind. Today is the perfect day to ferret out any kind of hidden information or discover solutions to old problems because you won’t give up until you find what you’re looking for. Be polite with authority.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Steer clear of controversial subjects today because these discussions will discourage you. In fact, discussions with friends and groups might also become obsessive about something. Admittedly, you might be right in the middle. Don’t go overboard. And don’t promise more than you can deliver.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Power struggles with police, parents and authority figures might take place today unless you pull back a little and demonstrate grace under pressure. Don’t get involved! Arguments about shared possessions or shared property might be nasty. Stay chill.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Quite a few people are a bit obsessed today, which is why this is a poor day to discuss controversial subjects like politics and religion. You might even be at odds with a partner or close friend about a domestic issue. Distance yourself from these difficulties. Stay positive. (And happy.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Discussions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt might become intense today because people are obsessively focused about what they want. This could create difficulties for you with someone at work. Possibly even difficulties related to your health? Avoid these problems if you can.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Be patient with partners and close friends today because it’s easy to go off track and be at loggerheads. Social occasions might be challenging. Likewise romance or something to do with your kids might also be problematic. Look for a win-win solution. Don’t be part of the problem.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might be focused about work-related issues today (or something to do with your health or even a pet). If so, you can use this energy to accomplish a lot. Or, this strong, even compulsive energy, could get you in trouble. Be patient with family today. Look for the good in a situation.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Tom Cruise (1962) shares your birthday today. You’re philosophical, authoritative and observant about your surroundings. You’re an idealist who is interested in people. This is a year of completion and endings. Take inventory of your life. It might be time to let go of people, places and things from the past that held you back.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is going to be a day with great potential for natives who prepared their lessons beforehand but a difficult day for all the other natives who are still struggling or who decided to leave things to faith.
Today is in no way a day where you leave things unattended or just hope for the best, because you will be punished for that.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are going to be quite humorous today and always prepared with a good word and surely those around you will appreciate that.
Meanwhile, you will also have to struggle a bit to maintain your optimism, especially in case you don’t really have a plan B to meet the changes that are going to take place later on.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You seem to be quite energetic and don’t really mind what you have to do today, regardless of whether you used to like this activity or you dread it.
Maybe there is a bit of love going on and cause of this good mood of yours. Just stick to this and make sure you count your blessings because this announces to be a good day.
You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The current disposition won’t ask you too many things about your plans for the day, especially not before managing to ruin them.
So be careful what you plan on doing and if things are not important, maybe it’s not such a bad idea to postpone them. However, if you do have something important to solve today, make sure you also have a plan B.
You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You need not count too much on technology today because it will probably act a bit funny around you. Try to be as dynamic as usual and mind your own business but at the same time keep an eye on things you aren’t sure of.
In terms of communications, always check whether your emails have been sent properly, especially in the first hours of the morning.
You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
If you have been postponing a certain event for long now, for instance a visit at the doctor or dealing with some bureaucratic things, maybe it’s time you confront your fears or anxiety and just go with it.
You will be surprised by the fact it might not be as bad as you’d imagined, plus the very enjoyable relief you will feel afterwards.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Try not to repeat some past mistakes today, especially because we are referring to some practical matters.
Meanwhile you can also work in a very productive manner if you just leave other thoughts aside and this will only require just a bit of motivation from you. Other than that, quite a peaceful day without too much trouble if you temper yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is going to be a day of paying debt, either physical one, like money or a more spiritual one, like help you were given and that you should now return.
Make sure that no matter how busy today is for you, you’ll remember who was there for you when you needed it and that you do the same now, even offer to help if you are not asked.
You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You need to let some things cool down and not continue with the same argument all over again. In some respects, you already did what you could do while in some others, no matter how much you will continue trying, little result will come as some people will never understand or change.
Just mind your own activities and try to relax.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
The situation might spin a bit out of control emotionally, especially if you let it and chances are this is what you are going to do.

Please read this first:
1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:
Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.
- a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
- b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days
Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.
2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)
There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:
- a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
- b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac
Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

The Full Moon for this month will occur on Sunday, July 21st. The New Moon is earlier in the month on Friday, July 5th.
The Full Thunder Moon of July
July’s full moon is called the Full Thunder Moon, after the frequent thunderstorms that roll in during early summer. Thunderstorms are more likely to form in humid environments during summer because of the moist, hot air rising from the ground to the higher, colder parts of our atmosphere. The Full Thunder Moon is, therefore, a warning sign for a surprisingly dangerous time of the year.
Did you know that you are more likely to get hit by lightning twice in your lifetime than win the Powerball lottery, and that summer is usually when most lightning fatalities happen? As the Full Thunder Moon rises to prominence during the warm summer months, people are more likely to be taking part in outdoor activities, which increases their risk of being hit by the frequent thunder and lightning strikes that happen during this period. Everyone knows to avoid trees and bodies of water during thunderstorms, but that basic precaution alone is not enough.
According to experts, you should head inside a safe building immediately when you hear thunder, no matter how safe you think you are. Lightning can strike from up to 10 miles away, and nothing can protect you when you’re outdoors. Wearing rubber soles or crouching down low will not stop lightning from hurting you. Lying down on the ground is an even worse idea, as it’ll make you even more vulnerable to currents traveling through the ground.
If you do get caught outdoors with no way to make it into a building safely, sheltering in a completely closed, all-metal car is an option as long as you don’t touch anything metal. You should also avoid open areas such as fields. Just keep moving as fast as you can until you reach shelter. If you happen to be in a group, spread out so that if one of you gets struck, the others can provide emergency CPR and other help. Remember that it’s completely safe to touch a person after they’ve been struck. Lightning-related deaths are most often caused by the heart stopping due to the sudden surge of electricity, and so it is very important to administer CPR to a lightning strike victim immediately.
Ultimately, the best way to avoid being caught outdoors in a thunderstorm is to take a little of your time each day to monitor the weather situation, and have backup plans for shelter if you’re heading outdoors. That said, being indoor doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’re safe either. Make sure to stay far away from any plumbing, metal objects, electronic devices and equipment, or anything that might conducts electricity. Avoid windows or doors at all costs. Not even concrete walls and floors are safe, since they contain metal rods that conduct electricity, so never allow yourself to lean against concrete walls or come into contact with concrete floors. The risk of a strike remains for 30 minutes after the last flash of lightning or peal of thunder.
The Full Thunder Moon is a great time for you to brush up on your lightning safety knowledge and educate other people as well. Feel free to head to the wild outdoors to observe deers whose velvety antlers are growing out during this period – which is why July’s full moon is also known as the Full Buck Moon – but also make sure to take the necessary safety precautions.

Bad but Goodish Day
I apologize for not getting today’s and monthly posts up today. My plan was finish mowing our approximately ¼ acre of yard but after having 2 bad asthma attacked I had to quit. I have been down the rest of the day because of vertigo and a hard time breathing. I push myself, we’ll push is to strong of a word. Let’s say I talk myself into doing more yard work when grass, trees, mold and other allergens are higher than is good for me to still toil outside.
Why do I do this?
I get re-engerized quicker when closely interacting with Mother Earth and can feel Ra’s energy filling me up. When filled by this God and Goddess, I will go out at night to ask Luna to impart the wisdom need I need to be a better human, mother, grandmother, wife, friend, and high priestess.
After a day and evening spent with these three deities I work with daily and leaving each an offering with my humble thanks for their help I make sure to have offerings for Kwan Yin and Sirona to thank them for helping me not to hurt as much the next day. I also make and offering to thank Lord Genish for enough income so we can take care of all the things we have to with some leftover for fun.
I was reminded by a very dear friend about 10-12 years ago to say prayer in the morning welcoming the deities I will be working with during that day and to thank them for their help that day. Which I do try to follow daily, but sometimes I am too busy and forget to welcome them the same as forgetting to thank them at night. I need to try setting the same time every morning and evening to ask for help and give them thanks for that help.
The really good part of today is Big Dawg and I finally got our rider mower running. It took us I think 5-7 days 2-5 hours each time to get it running. One more piece to buy, the air filter, hopefully tomorrow and it should be good to go!
I will be back tomorrow to get most of the regular daily posts done and the monthly posts also.
