A Thought for Today
I took a few longish walks this week to find my path again and to release all the negative everything that was inside of me to refill it with all positive things. So this poem really spoke to me as I was looking for a thought to put up. It also helped me to feel better physically which in turn let me get the posts for today up yesterday like I had been doing but was unable to for a while.
There is a lot to be said for walking in the grass among trees and other things pleasing to the eye that Mother Nature and Gaia gives us to look at. They also provide us lovely things to smell like flowers and fresh cut grass just to name a couple. They give us things to feel the different textures that the world around us offers. They help to ease our troubles and worries to hopefully all us to gain a better state of mind. If you do not live in a home where these things are not just outside your front door trying going to a park or forest preserve and walk there. It doesn’t need to be a long walk as you can still experince the afore mentioned things by sitting on a bench or lawn chair or the grass to take in what beauty is around you.
I also encourage you to take some type of trash bag with you and clean up what others have just left on the ground that interrupts the energy we can feel when surrounded or in nature.
Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends!
A Thought for Today
Depending when we get Big Dwag’s Jeep back that is in for repairs to the power steering stuff whether or not I come back on a little later to do the northern hemisphere’s tomorrow posts or not. It is still rainy and cold here so no relief from the fibromyalgia flare I’m in, in the near future. But I felt I needed to go back to doing all the regular daily posts as it is not fair to you for me to give up doing all the posts that you are used to seeing on WOTC just because it hurts me to type.
A Thought for Today
Welcome to a new and wonderful week dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends! May positive blessing come to you and yours today and every day.
OK, so, here’s what’s going on with me and posting… We are in the misted of changing from summer to fall which means a painful time for people with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc. This along with long days with Big Dawg serving paperwork and than not sleeping enough because of the pain has my body in revolt. It is all I can do to get out of bed or off our couch to do anything. Typing or using the mouse is pure agony because of the nerves in my fingertips being super sensitive to touching anything and everything, including giving pets and scratches to our fur kids 😥
So, I will be only doing horoscopes, moon phase, northern hemisphere planetary positions, daily correspondences, and a spell until this recent acute fibromyalgia flare decides to calm down. The posts I am doing will go up probably on the day of and whatever time of day I can handle sitting at either my desktop or using my laptop to do them.
During a Skype chat with my coven yesterday I found out about some herbs that may help to keep my nervous system better under my control instead of it controlling many of my regular daily activities which includes all WOTC things. Now I have to find out where to either order them online or a store that carries them.
So please bear with me I will get back to full regular daily postings as soon as I can. Thank you once again for your support, caring, and comfort while my body and I aren’t on good speaking terms.
A Thought for Today
BUILDING A MYSTERY by thegypsy
It begins with the little things
Shadows in the corner
A quick glimpse and then nothing
Observed, perhaps
Too much uncertainty
And certainly not put to memory
Like a whisper in a crowd
There and then quickly dissipates
Maybe you question for a moment
Then rationalize and continue
And it continues
With objects slightly out of place
A crooked painting
Chairs that seem abandoned
Lights flash in a darkened room
Or a sudden chill in the air
Intuition is speaking
A feeling that keeps coming
Something is stirring
Something that isn’t right
Triggering defenses
Your mind now constantly moving
That newfound feeling
Gnawing ravenously
Building a mystery
No longer just on the inside
Visible now, like an open wound
Irritating confusion
The need is growing
And you begin to question
Your senses first, your sanity second
Tiny lapses in the time stream
What should have been,
Replicated with another version
Short on the how and why
But again, it’s been rationalized
Different thoughts for now
New explanations
But then you begin to realize
The other thoughts remain
One’s onerous and dark
It’s you they are coming for
Edges starting to fray
Pulling away
The hunger growing
Paranoia and accusatory
But of what accord is the wonder
Suspects in every direction
But no case in point to reference
Careful questioning
As the days continue
Evenings fading into night
More oddities in the shadows
Growth of unclaimed activities
Actionable encounters
Footfalls deep into the darkness
Too loud to pin to a dream
Scratching window on a cloudless day
The feeling of something stirring
But when and where and why
There’s a thinning happening
Blurring the distant vision
Double takes and reexamination
And the missing things
Now more important things
Searching becomes maddening
Suspicions manifesting
Eyes shifting and observing
Borderline panicking
Brow sweating, heart pounding
Vision darting, silence deafening
Madness overtaking
Ears ringing, haunted singing
Laughing becomes screaming
Fitful dreaming, broken thinking
Tearing, swearing, earth shearing
Ground shaking, everything breaking
Things corrupting, flames erupting
Evil rising, synchronizing
Head pounding, body shaking
Smoke coiling, blood boiling
Sharp stinging, barely clinging
Alarm clock ringing…
A Thought for Today
We all grow a little each day. In which way will you be growing today…towards a positive or negative thing?

A Laugh for Today
The last two days in our home have been way of normal. Sunday, I didn’t get the Monday posts up because I was in too much pain after we drove 220 miles to serve paperwork. Yesterday we had to go bring a new battery to my youngest son, so he was able to start his car again to go to work. As we left to come home a major belt on the Jeep broke 4 blocks from my son’s home. We were able to get it to a great auto repair shop but that’s where the real fun came in. We were there 5 hours waiting for the part to come, the auto parts store lost power we had to wait for the part until power was restored and be put on. Oh, I forgot to mention it rained everywhere we were all day yesterday which isn’t fun with artists and a bad fibromyalgia flare. We left home about 10:00 AM and didn’t get back until around 8:00 PM instead of about 2 PM. Needless to say, our fur children were not happy with us and had very empty tummies their normal dinner time is between 1 and 2 PM. So, I had plan to do today’s posts when we got home but both of us could barely move due to sitting in chairs that were uncomfortable for hours and just being in the Jeep for so long. Anywho onto tomorrow posts that go live today.

Find some time to meditate today even if it is just a few minutes spent outdoors to soak in the nature that surrounds no matter where we live.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends
Merry meet, Hail, Good Whatever Time of Day you read this!
All the birthday horoscopes from September 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are posted on their respective dates. The weekly horoscopes are posted on September 3rd where they should have been already.
For today I am only doing daily and birthday horoscopes and the current Moon phase. I will be checking emails as we are in the car when we’re not in a no service area (we hit these quite often because of living surrounded by corn and soybean fields wherever we have to travel to) part of the fun living in farm country (which I love) instead of the hustle and bustle of city life. Why only these? Well, I was up until around 6 AM this morning and finally fell asleep and didn’t get up until about 30 minutes ago. Plus missing birthday horoscopes for most of the dates so far in September. Than having to leave with Big Dawg in an hour for him to serve paperwork with me his trusty side kick doesn’t give me much time for all the regular daily posts. So, I figure the ones pertain only to the 5th of September are more important to get than trying to do everything with not a enough time to do them. Hopefully I will sleep tonight and wake up bright eyed and bushy tail already to bring you all the regular daily posts and 1st of the months posts tomorrow morning. I will go back to doing the tomorrow posts for Friday, September 8th along with all of the regular posts for Thursday, September 7th.
I know I didn’t do good on my goal for this New Moon to New Moon phase but there is always the next lunar month to strive for. I am sorry if any one was inconvenienced by me not getting all the regular daily posts up last week through today. Thank you for your patience and support while I was sick again!
A Thought for Today
I am feeling a bit better this morning but due to it being September 1st I am doing limited daily posts so I can get through some of the monthly posts. This is my third bout with COVID and it is taking more out of me than the last two times. Supposedly the newest strain of COVID hits people who have had it before and/or had all the vaccinations offered, like me, harder and quicker than those who haven’t had it. My question is why have I gone through a miserable day or two after each shot only to get the possible new strain and feel worse than ever before? Any who I don’t want to waste energy on this posts when I have so many regular monthly posts to do so, I wish you all a blessed and happy September.
Be careful when driving as most children are back in school in the USA!

A Thought for Today
“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”
I Am sorry I wasn’t on yesterday but I wasn’t feeling very good. Today I am a little better but in a mental and emotion turmoil over something happening in one of my children’s lives so I will do posts I feel comfortable with, with the energy I have rolling around inside and out.
Hello and Merry Meet, Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening WOTC Family and Friends! A Thought for Today
A Thought for Today – Pagan/Witch Pride
I just want to add it is also one of the ones its practitioners still to the day get persecuted, shunned, lose family over, besides other negative things attached to it. If only people would ask a witch or pagan to briefly explain their spiritual path we witches would be able to come out of the broom closet easier, where an amulet openly that we as individuals feel represents our spiritual path like Christians who wear a cross, or a Jewish person who wears the Star of David instead of feeling we have to hide under our clothing or carry it in a pocket.
From the first time I heard the following song to this day it inspires me and helps me to not go back into my broom closet but to be proud of the fact that my spiritual and magickal path is how I choose to connect with the divine and Mother Earth’s inhabitants be they animal, bird, reptile, aquatic, or another sort of human species (an example would be Fae Folk or the Spirit Plane). The only sentence I sort of disagree with is, “We don’t need no angels, we have fairies in their place.” A personal choice I made is to believe in the Archangels and the help they can provide to us if we ask them to especially when it comes to self-protection or protecting our home, or vehicle.
I am Pagan and I’m Proud
Song: I Am Pagan Artist: Spiral Rhythm Album: We Are Light
I am pagan And Im proud I am pagan Gonna shout it loud I am pagan Want the world to know That I follow the Goddess Cause she rocks my soul
Dont need your bible Ive got the Wisdom of the crone
Dont need your heaven Into this life Im reborn No ten commandments One fills the bill And it harm none Do what you will I am pagan
And I’m proud I am pagan Gonna shout it loud I am pagan Want the world to know That I follow the Goddess Cause she rocks my soul
Don’t need your churches The worlds My sacred space
Dont need your angels I’ve got fairies In their place
We raise the spirit Most every night When we dance the fire In the pale moonlight
Are you pagan I am pagan Are you proud I am proud Are you pagan I am pagan Then shout it loud And I’m shouting it loud
If youre pagan Let the whole world know That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul
Well you take your path And Ill take mine A little tolerance And well both be fine
You keep an open mind It’ll set you free And Goddess bless So mote it be
Are you pagan I am pagan Are you proud I am proud Are you pagan I am pagan Then shout it loud So I’m shouting it loud If youre pagan Let the whole world know That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul
Are you pagan I am pagan Are you proud I am proud Are you pagan I am pagan Then shout it loud
So I’m shouting it loud If you’re pagan Let the whole world know That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul Are you pagan I am pagan
Are you proud I am proud
Are you pagan I am pagan
Then shout it loud So I’m shouting it loud
If youre pagan Let the whole world know
That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul
Good day WOTC Family and Friends!
It was long night filled with nightmares when I finally fell asleep after being up for 22 hours. Now it is going to be a long after only about 90 minutes of sleep since yesterday morning. But I am here still trying to reach the goal I set for myself on the August new Moon to not miss any days of posting until the new Moon in September. Excuse any typos or the usual order of posts not being in their usual line up and there might be a couple of posts missing. I hope I don’t zone out and just make a total mess of WOTC this morning. I will do the best I can for this moment in time while posting. After this I hope to get a couple or three solid hours of sleep before it is time to feed our fur kids, make us something to eat than get on the road to serve more people paperwork. Thank goodness I don’t do any of the driving so if I fall asleep in the car it’s not such a big deal.
Wishing you all a spectacular Saturday full of whatever you feel like doing and with whom you want to do it with!
Good day WOTC Family and Friends!
