Sorry I haven’t been doing tomorrow posts. I’m a little rough around the edges right now. Starting this pass Tuesday, I have been wearing a nicotine patch to help me to quit smoking cigarettes. While it is going well, I don’t feel like totally like myself as I am also changing my diet and exercising more. It also is a little hard to concentrate on what I am doing at any given time…lol. Why all these major changes in my life at once? My last blood tests show my cholesterol is so high the doctor put me and a second medication to try to help lower it. Making me at a very high risk of a stroke which I definitely don’t want. I want to dance at all 10 of my grandchildren’s weddings and welcome great-grandchildren into our family and introduce them to their ancestors through a Wiccianing. I will do the best I can on posting but no guarantees I will post daily right now as I don’t like to post when my feeling physical and metaphysical are not in a positive state of mind. Everything I am changing will also help me not to have so many fibromyalgia flares according to the doctors. So, wish me luck on getting the cholesterol down and my body in better shape again.

Yep, I am still at my computer making sure all the daily and birthday plus the northern and southern hemisphere’s tomorrow current moon phases are done through January 2, 2024 are done. At least doing these posts are relaxing me after printing out about 400 pages of paperwork today for various jobs that  Big Dawg has got done. I still have another 408 pages for just one job to do but they can wait for tomorrow. I so deserve to have fun time at the computer! Look for New Year’s Eve some of the witchcraft/magickal correspondences and some spells for New Year’s Eve to be posted tomorrow. I want to make sure you have plenty of time to have everything on hand you may need to pick up if you choose to do them.

I sincerely hope you are being able to relax and have been enjoying your whatever time a day or night it is where you!!

Love and hugs, LCB a.k.a. Lady Carla Beltane

I’d like to thank my reader ED for the LCB nickname so much easier than typing out Lady Carla Beltane all the time so expect to see me using it more in 2024.

M If not for my Christian mom believing in more than Christianity teaches I probably wouldn’t be the pagan I am today. When my ability surfaced at about 3-years-old to talk to and see spirits my mom took it in stride as she was a spirit talker also and never denied her ability to do this even when she got in big trouble from her parents growing up.

Today would have been her 88th birthday in this lifetime but she crossed the veil on August 24, 2015. She also believed in reincarnation so when her spirit is ready to incarnated again she will. There is still not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her both the good times and bad. My mom knew what unconditional love was and showed it to me time and time again. Did I fully appreciate her when she still walked this earth? No but with us being able to still communicate I have the chance to tell her all things I should of when she was on this plane with me. I very strongly suggest if your parents are still here with you that you make it a point to talk to them, thank them for helping you become the person you are today, and anything else you’ve wanted to tell them but haven’t. If they are across the veil you can still thank them and say everything you didn’t get a chance to when they walked with you.

Happy birthday my beautiful, opened heart and mind Mom!!! Thank you for always having my back and loving me know matter what I put you through good and bad. I love and miss you.

I felt the need to update you on how coven and I are doing. Myself I got my first full night’s sleep since the revelations of last weekend concerning a former heart daughter/adept apprentice/coven member real personality bomb went off. Sorry I don’t have a better word to describe what her betrayal felt like. The others in the coven have their only feelings about everything and I will not speak for them or break the confidence they have in me as their High Priestess by speaking out of turn. We all are upset over having to take her young daughter out of the coven also but for everyone’s safety we cannot let the mother have any way to contact or reach us after we banish her. Personally, I am hoping that after the daughter moves out (at least 5-years away) that she contacts me again to continue her training as a white or slightly light gray witch. 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Let’s go back approximately 18 months ago when the women first contacted me. She sent me an email about how her former HP treated her which from what she said I thought the woman didn’t deserve to be a HP. I have sent an apology to her via the universe as I realized everything my former student was either outright lies or greatly altered to fit the former students agenda. I am sure she will be saying the same things about me now all negative and that’s ok as I know who I am deep inside from shadow work and meditations to check where my spirit and heart are at. She is also an energy vampire which I think I mentioned before and was trying to drain me dry. She probably would have succeeded if not for a very strong healer, who happens to be my second cousin, didn’t keep cleaning sludge and dark entities off of me almost weekly. I owe my cousin a life debt that I hope I never have to pay because it would mean she was in mortal danger.

Many, many years ago when I was a teenager, I was in a very dark coven for 2 years, I am not proud of this after learning how wrong I was in some spells I cast and coven rituals I took part in. I now know I needed the experience in my life so I can hopefully see the signs in witches that come to me to apprentice them. But I definitely fell down with this person after I finally took the time and spent the energy to do a full body, inside and out, reading on her I could see the glamours and shields she had done so she appeared as a somewhat helpless women that just wanted someone to understand and support her. There are so much more signs that I choose to ignore including not listening to my Spirit Guides and Ancestors, but I will not bore you with them.

The reason I am going into any detail with what happened between this woman and myself is to warn everyone reading this to LISTEN to your Spirit Guides and Ancestors because I can tell you from experience that they will never steer you wrong. Their main job, at least in my life, is to keep a person safe and on their true-life path. This is something I really need to remember it’ll keep me away from this type of person in the future! This is the second energy vampire I have had to deal with since I started my online witchcraft school and coven in 2014. At that time all the red flags were there, and my Spirit Guides and Ancestors tried to get me to listen to keep me from being drained but I didn’t listen.

I will be back hopefully on Monday doing all the regular daily posts as Sunday there is a coven gathering to not only banish this woman from the coven but from all our lives as well. The daughter will be banished also but with a clause that she can contact myself only after she turns 18-years-old and no longer lives in her mother’s home unless she follows a dark path also.

Thank you all for your kind words and support during this rough patch in mine and my coven’s lives!

I have found the happier I am the less pain I have. While it is not always easy to be happy or find a reason to laugh, I make it a point to find at least one reason every day to have a good belly laugh. These are usually provided by one of our fur kids or Big Dawg.

I think it was last Saturday we had about 2 inches of snow on the ground, and it was still flurrying I went outside and made a snow angel. The last two years when we had snow it was too dang cold to go out to do anything more than shovel or take our fur kids out to use the bathroom so as much as I wanted too no snow angels got made. I put a challenge on my personal Facebook page for other “grown-ups” top let their inner child out, make a snow angel or snowman/woman and post the picture as a comment. Guess what? I didn’t get one person to take up the challenge. Here in the northern hemisphere winter officially is still 21 days away but it doesn’t mean we won’t get snow unless you live someplace that it stays to warm all year long to get any. So, I challenge each of you to make a snow man/woman/angel or whatever send a picture of it to ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com and I will do a special post of all our pictures and continue updating until there’s no more snow on the ground to make something. Pictures from actual children will be accept to. Even better a grown-up and child’s creation will get top spots in the post.

So, who’s with me to let our inner children have some fun in the snow whether it is with our children or grandchildren or not?

For those who celebrated Thanksgiving Day yesterday I hope it was spent the way you fully enjoyed it! Today is just as important if not more so as it is a day to celebrate Native American Heritage Day! If not for the indigenous people of the USA there would not be a Thanksgiving Day. Even with the United States government forcibly moving these tribes and nations off the land the traveled and farmed for centuries before the first Europeans arrived on our eastern shores the land would be totally wild and untamed. We can learn a lot about living in harmony with Mother Earth and its natural inhabitants by looking to their way of life centuries ago for guidance. I am proud to be from the Choctaw tribe that broke off from the “Trail of Tears” in Louisiana. Many tribes and nations were effect negatively by being forced to march during a bitter winter to reservations where the US government thought they should live after stealing their land. Yes, I feel strongly about what did and is happening to all US indigenous people. It is with a heavy heart for those that died and were killed along the very long and dangerous journey that I celebrate this very important day! Please joining in lighting a candle and giving thanks for their continuing struggle to regain lands that were stolen or supposedly bought from all tribes and nations in our land!

I am still slowly recovering so the posts are what I can do before I need a nap.

May you and yours be blessed with good health, love, and happiness with a lot of postive energy!

I am doing better but still nowhere near 100%. All the birthday horoscopes are caught up and posted on their respective dates. I got most of today’s regular posts done now I am going to lay back down. Turns out I had a really bad cold that weakened my already weak immune system which led to me getting COVID easier and making it worse. Thank you for your get well wishes, support, and understanding of my no posting until today this week.

Blessings of good health for you and yours!

Finally, I had time to do tomorrow posts for the northern hemisphere. I will try my best to keep them up.

I know I have been gone for the last few days and I apologize if it has inconvenienced anyone. Life has been in the express lane with trying to help Big Dawg get his job done, which entailed around 1,000 miles from Thursday to Saturday, so we have the money we need to catch up on bills and stay current with them. Yesterday, Sunday, was Big Dawgs birthday and we hosted a birthday luncheon for family and friends. I also have not been feeling well with low energy levels in every aspect of my physical and spiritual life. I finally got a full night of decent sleep last night after a week of yucky, broken sleep every night. But I’m feeling better more grounded and centered so I will do my best each day to being you the regular daily posts. I hope to go back to doing the northern hemisphere’s tomorrows posts too. Thank you for your support and patience during my absence!

May you and yours be blessed with a lot of positive energy dear Sisters, Brothers, and friends.
