I am taking the next 3 days to celebrate and mourn the life and death of my former partner. I will not be reading and answering emails or doing any posting. The birthday horoscope and current Moon phase will be posted.
I am sorry but the Mabon/Imbolc issue of Life in The Craft is not ready to be published. The Samhain/Beltane issue will also have articles covering the previous 2 Northern and Southern Hemispheres Sabbats.
My middle son’s father crossed the veil Tuesday night. Although it was expected it still saddens me deeply. I am not in a frame of mind to do posts this morning. I will try to get both hemispheres today and tomorrow posts done later today but this new development in my life has caused a very bad fibromyalgia flare so I am limited on how long I can type.
Sonny was a man whose later years revolved around his 9 children and all his descendants. He proudly served in the U. S. Army and belonged to the V. F. W. and served as a Commander for his post. He was also a member of the American Legion and Elks clubs.
I remember him most for the close friendship and love we shared for over 40 years. He is my only ex I talked to regularly. We might not have been a couple for many years but our shared love of our son always kept us close. I got to spend time with him at the end of July when we celebrated our or at least my youngest grandson’s 3rd birthday.
I send him off with love and the wings of an eagle to the Summerlands.
Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!
You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with an illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9pm and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.
Visit the September 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
The Waning Gibbous on September 14 has an illumination of 81%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On September 14 the Moon is 18.99 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

I am getting back into the swing of things a little slowly but trying at least to get all the tomorrow posts up for both hemispheres. Unfortunately, after being on the computer for around 5 hours some of the regular posts are missing today for the southern hemisphere’s tomorrow because my hands started hurting. Today I did most of the regular posts for today the northern hemisphere’s tomorrow and about 2/3 of the southern hemisphere’s regular daily posts.
Today was this first time in almost a week that I got more than three hours sleep. But sleeping from around 5:00 AM CT to 10:45 AM CT doesn’t work well for me. When my sleep is messed up adding to the finical stress and I get to usher in another fibromyalgia flare. Yeah, me ROFLOL!!
Tomorrow since I only have to repost the S. H. regular posts, so they become the northern hemisphere’s tomorrow posts and finish September 13th posts. I will be able to do all of the S. H. tomorrow posts for September 14th. I know this sounds confusing all I can say is “Welcome to my life.”
I am going to start doing certain types of spells for others I am hoping to start around Monday, September 19. There will be a fee for me doing them. The page to attach to them main menu is in the construction stage as soon as I get it done you can see what I offer by clicking on “Spells by Lady Beltane” in the main menu. I will not do hexes, curses, or any type of spell that messes with another person’s free will.
Sending hugs, comfort, healing, love and only positive thoughts to whoever wants to accept these.
The iconic North American monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus plexippus was recently listed in the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species, signaling that its ongoing decline could lead to extinction. The compounding effects of habitat degradation, insufficient food and water and climate change have led to these dwindling numbers.
This tiny, almost weightless, butterfly can travel thousands of kilometers across natural and human-made borders with ease. It can survive harsh weather during its long-distance flights across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. And it has developed, over millennia, these movements in a delicate relationship with its milkweed host plant.
Despite their remarkable adaptations and ongoing conservation efforts, things have gone downhill for these monarchs. Why? …
Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!
Please join me in praying for King Charles III with his Queen Consort Camilla to carry out their duties as head of state for the United Kingdom and Commonwealths with compassion, love, and humility. May they reunite the royal family with the Duke and Dutchess of Sussex. That their reign is full of positive changes and keeps important traditions intact.
Long live King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort
Queen Elizabeth has been and inspiration to me since I was a teenager. After I became a high priestess I would read about her as a strong, dedicated to her people leader in the hope that I could learn from her on how to be diplomatic within my coven. I am sorry if this sounds confusing but I can’t find the right words to describe how much this beautiful woman and spirit has influenced my life especially as a leader.
As I am unsure what news outlet you prefer to read or listen to, I am put up a link for a general search about Queen ELizabeth II’s death today.
At the time of her death, she was surrounded by all her children and Prince WIlliam. At the moment of her death Prince Charles became King Charles. He may choose to use at different name when his coronation takes places.
I am sorry but posting needs to wait until tomorrow due to a medical problem.
Thanks to Fawn Devi and a couple of other people my internet provider will be paid for 1 month. Thank you dear sister!! I will be catching birthday horoscopes Thursday . I am planning on doing all the September 2022 monthly posts tomorrow and starting all regular daily posts on Friday.
Until we meet again sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you find peace in your heart and mind.
I finally sort of figured out how to use my cellphone as a hot spot to get my laptop online. I miss my daily interaction with my WOTC family and guests.
We have a close friend of many decades coming in from Texas today who is spending the night. I have not seen her face to face in about 20 years thanks to my ex-boyfriend who basically chased any friends I had away by his attitude and abusive words to them and myself.
Lady Rhiannon is also one of my few dear sister witches. She has agreed to soon do some posts about witchcraft. She is the high priestess of a face to face coven where she lives.
So with her visit I am going to be selfish and spend every minute with her that I can because I do not know when she will be back in Illinois. She is here this weekend because her brother is very sick in a nursing home. I know she would appreciate the WOTC family lighting candles and sending Brian comforting energy.
