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?

A WELL-MEANING MOTHER AND MORE HUMOR

A WELL-MEANING MOTHER AND MORE HUMOR

Grins and Groans from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Sometimes, it’s mothers who say the darnedest things. Try not to roll your eyes too hard at this edition of Humor Me!

A MOTHER’S LETTER TO HER SON

Dear Stanley,

I write to let you know that I am still alive. I am writing as slowly as I can, as I know you don’t read fast.

You won’t know the house when you come home—we moved. We had trouble moving, especially the bed—the man wouldn’t let us take it in the taxi, and we were afraid that we might wake your father.

Your father has a nice new job, and very responsible. He has about 500 people under him—he cuts the grass at the cemetery.

Our neighbors, the Browns, started keeping pigs. We got wind of it yesterday.

I got my appendix out and a dishwasher put in. There is a washing machine in the new house here, but it don’t work too good. Last week, I put 14 shirts in it and pulled that chain. They whirled around real good, but then disappeared.

Your uncle Pat drowned last week in a whiskey vat at the distillery. Four of his workmates dived in to save him, but he fought them off bravely. We cremated the body the next day and just got the fire out this morning.

I went to the doctor with your father last week. The doctor put a small glass tube with a red line in it in my mouth and told me not to open it for 10 minutes. Your father wanted to buy it from him.

It rained only twice last week—once for 3 days and once for 4 days. Monday was so windy that our chicken laid the same egg four times.

Your loving mother,

Stella

MOTHER’S DAY JOKES

Sunday school teacher: Tell me, Johnny. Do you say prayers before eating?
Johnny: No, ma’am, I don’t have to. My mom’s a good cook.

Dan: What did the mother bullet say to the daddy bullet?
Ryan: What?
Dan: We’re gonna have a BB!”

Jack: Why did the monster’s mother knit him three socks?
Bill:  I have no idea. Why?
Jack: She heard he grew another foot!

Elephant: Why do mother kangaroos hate rainy days?
Hippo: I give up.
Elephant: Because their kids have to play inside!

Robbie: Larry’s mother had four children. Three were named North, South and West. What was her other child’s name?
Bobbie: East?
Robbie: No. Larry.

Mother to son: I’m warning you. If you fall out of that tree and break both your legs, don’t come running to me!

BABY TALK

“Uncle John,” said little Emily, “did you hear that a baby that was fed on elephant’s milk gained 200 pounds in one week?”

“Nonsense! Impossible! Whose baby was it?”

“The elephant’s.”

I’m up early but frankly don’t feel like working today. Partly because I’m in a lazy mood but mostly because it’s Big Dawg’s birthday. I’ll be here tomorrow.
