One of the night sky’s brightest stars will be eclipsed by the asteroid Leona late Monday into early Tuesday.

Millions of people around the world may be able to witness a rare eclipse on Tuesday, December 12. Betelgeuse, one of the biggest and brightest stars, will briefly disappear from the night sky as an asteroid passes in front of it to create a once-in-a-lifetime eclipse, according astronomer Gianluca Masi, founder of the Virtual Telescope Project.

Betelgeuse is a blazing red supergiant in the constellation Orion. A supergiant is the term given to stars nearing the end of their lives. They are the largest stars in the universe because they puff up and expand out into space in their old age, according to NASA. The large star will be eclipsed by the asteroid Leona, which orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt.

I explained yesterday that I was dealing with a problem with what is now an ex-student of mine. Well things got “more interesting” when I was cutting cords between her, and I last night to find about she is a black witch able to do excellent glamour spells and shielding her true heart/spirit self. I missed one small cord which she used to go through me follow a cord I have with a cousin, who’s a powerful healer, and attack her with back pain so bad she couldn’t sleep and barely was able to get out of bed today for short times.

I also discovered she is an energy vampire with as close as I allowed us to get she was draining me some daily. Which explains why for about the last 16 months I have been sick so often and in horrible fibromyalgia flares. I had no extra physical energy to fight these off with.

The student I am talking about is Graphia, who at one time I referred to her as my right-hand witch in training. I feel the need to share her pagan name with you all just in case you had any private emails or other communications with her. Please if you did, put your protection whatever into super mode around yourself, family, and animal companion.

The reason I Am doing limited posts until next Monday is for the first time in my many, many years as either a face to face or virtual high priestess of a coven I am having to excommunicate a coven member and unfortunately because her daughter had started to study with me, I have to do the same to her. So, I am keeping my roller coaster energy away from the website except for current Moon phases, daily and birthday horoscopes. I hope you can understand my reasoning for limiting my time on here the rest of this week. I will not be answering emails until next Monday for the same reason.

I am very sorry I openly exposed you all to this person. I hope you can forgive me and continue being part of my WOTC family. Blessings of protection to each of you, your extend families, and animal companions.

I am having to deal with a serious problem caused by one of my students/coven members. Because of things said and done by her I am having to do blocking and eventually a binding against her being able to try to do anything negative to others in the coven and associated with it. I am sorry this is taking me away from doing all the daily posts but there is a reason for that too. I didn’t want to bring the negative energy from how I am feeling to all of you. Just for your information Graphia is no longer part of WOTC in anyway especially as my right-hand witch she has been stripped of her duties and title.

This past week has been a super stressful one what with computers, printer, and scanner giving my all kinds of problems. Along with someone at the headquarters office for Big Dwag’s job, making a mess out of certain paperwork that has to be signed again and resubmitted. I’m talking over 200 papers that were done correctly but some person or persons hit a wrong key on their keyboard and erased his signature from we’re guessing at this point all 361 submitted papers are coming back to be resigned. It is very frustrating and time-consuming. Coming on top of monthly posts, I’ve spent too much time on the computer trying to get everything done for both our jobs.

So, today, I’m taking a much needed mental floss day and going to our towns Kris Krinkle market with some gal pals. I’ll be back tomorrow a lot more clear-headed and a lot less stressed, I hope.

Now to just get my laptop to talk to the printer and scanner and life’s stressors will go almost completely away. I will have help with that sometime later today.

Full Moon November 2023: The Beaver Moon’s Spectacular Spiritual Meaning

The Full Moon of November 2023 brings the Beaver Moon with it. These diligent animals have begun their annual ritual of preparing for Winter. Their spiritual meaning reminds us it’s time to say goodbye to Autumn and welcome the coming of Winter. It’s okay to let go of the past and move forward toward new dreams.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, great knowledge and strength can be found in the beaver’s art of patience and tenacious creation. For Pagans, witches, and spiritual practitioners, November is sometimes regarded as the beginning of a new year because it follows the final harvest season of Samhain.

Every full moon has its own name based on the month or the season in which it appears. Creating a name for each full Moon allowed people to reflect on each season and how it affects them AND the natural world. There can be some variation on the Full Moon names due to the origins from whence they came.

Most Full Moon names are English translations of Native American names; others are rooted in Celtic, European (Anglo-Saxon and Germanic), and more recent Neo-Pagan origins. I created a guide to each Full Moon, complete with their meanings and how you can celebrate

Native American Heritage Day 2023: November 24 is observed as National Native American Heritage Day, the day following Thanksgiving. This day is dedicated to the celebration of the diverse cultures, contributions, achievements, and heritage of Native American. Native Americans are the originators of American history, and the bald eagle depicted on the U.S. shield is an Iroquois emblem. While commemorating this day, one may admire exhibitions of their distinctive recipes and cultural attire while also voicing opposition to the heinous injustices they have endured.

The History of National Heritage Day

In 1912 and 1915, Dr. Arthur C. Parker of the Seneca tribe initially staged a demonstration in opposition to National Native American Heritage Day. Initially, he advocated for the recognition of “American Indian Day” by the Boy Scouts of America. President George H. W. Bush signed the legislation in 1990 with the intention of designating the day after Thanksgiving as American Indian Heritage Day. Congressman Joe Baca had proposed it.

November 28 was designated by law as Native American Heritage Day, in remembrance of their innumerable contributions to the United States. 184 tribes recognized by the federal government and the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) both contributed.

Through activities and ceremonies, Native American Heritage Day encourages individuals of all backgrounds in the United States to develop an appropriate appreciation for indigenous cultures. Additionally, educational institutions are recommended to augment their pupils’ consciousness regarding Native Americans through the implementation of classroom exercises that center on their historical background, significant contributions, and notable accomplishments.

The Native American Heritage Day Act of 2009 underwent technical changes after receiving initial approval from the United States House of Representatives, and all senators in the United States Senate subsequently approved those changes. By a unanimous vote, the House of Representatives re-approved the legislation, incorporating the amendments proposed by the Senate. President Barack Obama subsequently ratified the legislation into law on October 30, 2009.

Native Americans utilize Native American Heritage Day and Month as a significant opportunity to inform the public about their communities. They take the lead in discussions surrounding culture on this particular day, where they exhibit traditional footwear (“rocking the moccasin”) to honor their heritage and provide insight into the various tribal communities.

FAQs for National American Heritage Day
