I am home and awaiting a pathology test on a couple of biopsies. I am not concerned about the results even through cancer gallops in my mom’s family. I have told my body for a few decades it’s not allowed to get cancer.
Lord Beltane had delicious homemade soup made for when I got home. So I ate and now going to sleep off the knock out drugs.
I will be back to doing morning and afternoon posts tomorrow.
Until than blessed be.

This Festival also marks the transition point of the threefold Goddess energies from those of Maiden to Mother.
BOOK OF SHADOWS: Traditionally hand copied book of rituals, recipes, training techniques, guidelines, and other materials deemed important to a Witch or a coven. Each tradition has it’s own standard version of the Book and each Witch’s book will be different as he or she adds to it with time from many different sources. Only another Witch can see your book of shadows. Also, traditionally, it may never leave your hands or possession until death, when it should be destroyed, or (in some traditions) returned to the coven to be disposed of.
BURNING TIMES: a term used by some Witches for the period of persecution in the Middle Ages and later. It is in fact a misnomer in some places, as Witches were only burned in Scotland, and on the continent of Europe. In England and the U.S., they were hanged.
CANDLEMAS: Festival held on Feb. 1. One of the 4 Celtic “Fire Festivals. Commemorates the changing of the Goddess from the Crone to the Maiden. Celebrates the first signs of Spring. Also called “Imbolc” (the old Celtic name). This is the seasonal change where the first signs of spring and the return of the sun are noted, i.e. the first sprouting of leaves, the sprouting of the Crocus flowers etc. In other words, it is the festival commemorating the successful passing of winter and the beginning of the agricultural year.This Festival also marks the transition point of the threefold Goddess energies from those of Crone to Maiden.
CARDINAL POINTS: North, South, East, and West, marked in the Georgian Tradition by candles of green, red, yellow, and blue, respectively. The Circle is drawn to connect these four points.

The traditional membership is 13, but in fact most covens number considerably less. 3 is the minimum in the Georgian Tradition.

COVENSTEAD: regular meeting place for a coven. Usually the home of the High Priestess or High Priest.

Lord Beltane and I had to go on a delivery for his job at 2:00 AM and did not get back until 5:30 AM. After taking our fur kids out, giving them water and morning treats I did not get back to sleep until after 6:00 AM. I woke up again at 8:00 AM with travel trunks not just bags under my eyes.
The missing daily posts and weekly horoscopes will be posted sometime today, I am just not sure when I will be able to concentrate enough to not mess them up totally. Right now I am going to try again to go back to sleep as I am in a lot of fibromyalgia flare pain from not getting my proper sleep and the silly weather changes we are having again.

“Hello Everyone,
Shortly after I had my brush with death in September of ’06 I started to “wake up again” and wondered about my life. I started to make friends with other people in metaphysics who helped me understand my true self.
I started to attend many lectures and met many mediums and channelers and mystics and healers. They told me some of the Spiritual Beings in my energy field. Many of them as well my friends told me “You have no idea how powerful you are”. Learning about these new Spiritual Beings made me feel like was like a kid in a metaphysical candy store. I was having so much fun! I also was learning the metaphysics of energy healing. It was so fascinating!
Then in 2010 I joined a Metaphysical Church and the leader was Reverend Debbie and on the third Sunday of each month she had healing Sundays. I was a part of the group and soon Reverend Debbie noticed my very powerful and yet soft energies and so did the other members and I started to do my own healings.
I was invited to many metaphysical gatherings because I was getting noticed in the metaphysical community and I started to do my healings by request but because I wasn’t certified at that time I just asked for a donation. Almost everyone told me that my left hand felt like a hot pad or that they felt like static electricity was coming from my hand.
It was also at this time I became a “student” of the Archangel Metatron channeled message teachings which was very profound because Metatron is very technical and complex but I was fascinated by what I read.
Some friends highly recommended that I go to my first Star Knowledge Conference founded by Chief Golden Light Eagle (Lakota Sioux) in November 2011 that changed my life. That was pure Indian energy and there were also several other Indian Chiefs and some Grandmothers too who were representatives of their own Nations. I quickly became friends with an Apache Grandmother and we exchanged phone numbers and she would call me or I would call her and we would talk for over an hour. Although she stopped going to Eagle’s conferences after 2014 we still kept in touch from time to time. I called her in the Spring of 2016 and she talked with her guides and they told her that I was of the White Wolf Clan and to take on the Spirit name White Wolf but Eagle does the naming in our family so I asked him for permission to start using that name and he liked it so he gave me permission. I asked him if I also needed the permission of the other Grandmothers and he said no so I thanked him for his permission. I really thought I knew a lot about metaphysics but when I got there I very quickly realized that I still had a lot more to learn and the energies were more powerful than anything I had experienced and I knew I had found my new spiritual family. Eagle came to Chicago twice in 2012 for lectures and I did lots of promotions for each lecture and just before Eagle’s 2012 conference in December I did a special favor for Eagle and just after the conference Eagle called me to invite me to a Lakota sweat lodge or what they call a purification ceremony and then I became a member of Eagle’s Star Knowledge Family and I am very honored by that.
In Native American teachings, the wolf is highly revered and considered a “medicine being” associated with courage, strength, loyalty and ancient wisdom. A white wolf or any white animal totem calls on us to open our hearts to the wild and to the sacredness of the earth with purity of thought so that we can heal our personal and collective wounds. A White Wolf in Native American teachings would therefore represent higher thoughts, purity and cleansing of spirit.
I discovered that I also have Metatron and other very powerful Spiritual Beings in my vast energy field. I had a Deep Matrix energy healing by my friend Kathy Georgen back in June of 2018 and that was when my Sixth Dimensional Family introduced themselves to me with Kathy’s help. They started to give me some of their 6D energy but it was very intense so they only give me tiny packets which are much easier to handle. I am very honored to have my 6D family with me guiding me.
And in March of 2020 I was invited to attend a small gathering near Serpent Mound, Ohio from my friend Eagle to meet Anna the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull. So now I have Anna in my energy field. Anna is a very powerful and enlightened spiritual being and I am very honored to have her in my vast energy field.
I call my energy quantum because I am in the quantum consciousness or extremely high level of awareness and because of the extremely powerful healing energy I have.”

I have been following this website Irish Pagan School for about two years and have taken a couple of courses through them about Irish Celtic Paganism. The first course I took was on Ogham and even though I have been reading ogham Staves for years I learned somethings I was doing wrong that would affect a reading and some new ways to go about using the Ogham alphabet. Their courses are do not cost a lot for the information you can gain plus you can go back to the material time and time again. You will get almost daily information usually in the form of a video through youtube.com. You can find the list of a variety of topics here by Irish Pagan School Videos I highly recommend watching a few if you are all interested in Celtic Paganism. Even with their Irish accent they are easy to understand.
Yesterday’s email announced a new way to gain information and I am really looking forward to listening to their podcasts. Here is the email I received including the link for the podcasts.

Thank you to Dr. Digital Philosophy for giving me the little push I needed to put the idea in my head to post this. I will post whatever other months I can find the month before, hopefully for both hemispheres.
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.
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:
Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.
