Mystery Cat

This time of the year is filled with all things Halloween and it’s almost time for all the little witches, ghosts and goblins to roam the streets in search of goodies. Are you ready?

Today I was watching the golden autumnal light catching the trees on fire and found myself thinking about how mystery and magic seems to be everywhere and sometimes where it’s least expected.

I found a big beautiful black cat in my garden while I was picking two ripe pomegranates from our tree. There he was, larger than life peering down at me from his perch high above, so I turned to place my fruit on a table near by and when I turned back around he was nowhere to be found. Spooky!

I quickly left the garden and returned to the house, and when I opened the back door I was greeted by the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven.Yum!

The Fires of Samhain

“Meat, beer, nut mast, chitterlings,

They are the dues of Samhain;

A merry bonfire on the hill,

Buttermilk, fresh-buttered bread.”- Irish Poem

Everyday Goddessing  is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside  each of us. – Rose Arizmendi

Crows at Sunset

I watched the sunset this evening as the crows quietly settled down for the evening in a tree across the street. I’ve grown quite attached to them over the years, and I know they are usually considered a nuisance, but once you get to know them they sort of grow on you.

As I watched the growing darkness eat up the last traces of sunlight I realized that October was coming to an end and it made me feel sad that summer had come and gone so fast. However, I felt very peaceful as I stood there in the darkness listening to our water fountain gurgling away and reluctant to break the magical moment I was experiencing. I finally turned on the lights and began preparing dinner.

“What is Life?

It is the flash of a firefly in the night.

It is the breath of a buffalo in wintertime.

It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”
