A Little Humor for Your Day c. 2014

Hair Raising

Jane lived in Hollywood, California, and Julie lived in Miami, Florida. They both could afford to have their hair done by Pierre in St. Louis.

One day they both decided to have their hair done. They both called Pierre but he told them that he had only one spot left and that whoever would get there first could have it.

Jane hopped into her private jet and Julie hopped into her own helicopter. Jane had to emergency land in Denver, but Julie made it to St. Louis for her hair appointment.

The moral of the story is, the whirlybird gets the perm.

UGH! I Messed Up Big Time

Yep, I had today’s posts all scheduled for tomorrow instead of today. I lost an envelope with paperwork that just went poof between getting in the car and when I went to grab it. It’s no place in the car or our home.

I am going to attempt to get tomorrow’s posts up now but no guarantee it will work out right today. ROFLOL

So, it has been a day of WTF?

Spell For Saturday – Spiritual Cleansing: Maintaining Your Personal Energy and Your Homes Energy

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Spiritual Cleansing: Maintaining Your Personal Energy & Your Homes Energy

It is common knowledge that before performing any spell work it is important to set your space. This is most commonly done by cleansing yourself and your space, casting your protective “circle” and calling in the elements and spirits. 

Take preventative measures and create permanent sacred space in your home. Check out our spell to create a Sacred Space Herbal Blend.

Practitioners need to cleanse themselves to avoid carrying unwanted energy into their magical practice. It’s difficult to manifest money when you’re feeling stressed about that unpaid bill on your fridge. Being aware of the symptoms of energetic “clutter” can give you clues as to when you are overdue for a cleanse. 

Cleansing your environment is equally as important as cleansing yourself. It’s tough raising positive energy when there’s a pile of dirty clothes in your sacred space. Everything holds energy!

More importantly, the need to cleanse your energy and your space for everyday living is very real. We all have to function one way or another in order to survive in this society and that means we have to remain emotionally, spiritually and physically regulated. 

Cleansing Your Personal Energy

Simple cleansing rituals can be added into your routine by adding a little intention to an everyday occurrence. Add some extra power by stating your intention out loud or under your breath. 

To add another layer of correspondence perform your cleansing spells on a day that aligns with your intention. We suggest a Monday or a Saturday.

Monday is ruled by the moon which governs the sub-conscious, our shadow selves, and our intuition. This is an excellent day to work through heavy emotions, limiting beliefs and release what isn’t working. 

Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn governs plans, our systems, order and time. This is a great day to break habits and clean up messes.

Whether you are in or out or partly out of the broom closet remember the only person that needs to be concerned with your spiritual path is you!

May your path be blessed with whatever you want out of it. You are the one in charge of which gods and/or goddesses you choose to make offerings to and work with. You are the one in charge of what you put out into the universe through wishes or spells or rituals or any combination of these. It is your wants and wills that are the center of your spiritual and magicakal path. Even if you are in a coven ultimately it is you who decides to participate in what the coven does or not. 

Personally, over my 40 + years of following the Goddess who goes by many names including but not limited to The Great Mother/Mother Earth/Gaia and the God who goes by many names including but not limited to Horned God/The Great Father/Odin. Over the years I slowly and then fully came out of the broom closet in most areas of my life the one place I do not put it out there much that I am a pagan and witch is when I am with family. Basically, my family knows loosely what type of spiritual path I choose to follow but it is not brought up and I wear alternative amulets instead of a pentacle when I am with them or keep my pentacle under my shirt.

Why do I do this? So, unlike many of the Christians in my family, I do not feel I have to have an outward sign of any kind to be true to my spiritual path. My path is a personal one even though I lead a coven of my apprentice. As I tell them we are a coven of solitary witches who come together to talk about our lives or our spiritual paths or magickal workings and for the 8 Sabbats. A few months ago, in our monthly chat a novice brought this topic it up and it was refreshing to hear how others feel about it and why they come out to some people but not others. So, I asked myself does it take away from me walking a pagan path to just saying that I do? No, I do not feel that by me being in the shadow of the wide-open broom closet door when with family deteriorates what I feel and the path I choose to follow spiritually and magickly.

What are your views on the topic of how far out of the broom closet do you want to be or are?
