Midsummer Magic
Inside Summer’s fiery heart
Feel the pulse of Solstice magic
Guiding you and filling you up with light.
Awaken to the Beauty of Life…
The Gifts and the Miracles
Vibrational Beauty
Colors..
Crystals…
Luminous Light
Nourish the Mind, Body and Spirit
Ignite the Universe…
Share your wisdom and your kindness with others
Offerings
When you hold Nature within your Heart…
The whole Earth becomes Sacred Space
Spiraling Prayer
“People visited groves and springs at the sacred times
and made the Turas, circling these holy places and wells.
A sort of concentric prayer spiraling inwards.”
~ from a speech by Nuala Ahern,
Irish Member of the European Parliament
“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
Between Autumn & Winter
Tonight we celebrate the Celtic New Year with our friends and loved ones . . . we honor and remember those now gone and embrace the magic and mystery of our own lives.
We gather to remind ourselves how truly grateful we are to be able to share our lives with each other. We weave our magic to create change, to help others find their own magic, to create a better life for ourselves and others, to connect and reconnect with the web of life that binds us all together.
Ladies & Gents . . . take up your magical brooms and sweep away the old and sweep in healing, abundance, goodness, love and protection.
Wishing all ~ Blessings of the Celtic New Year
Preparations for a Halloween Tea Party ~ are underway and there is a flurry of activity going on in my home. Tea cups, saucers, tea pots, vintage lace tablecloths, ribbons and candles are being assembled for the festivities tonight.
There will be Witches, Goblins & Faeries descending on my house and much celebration and magic under a waxing Halloween Moon. I have lots of treats in my cauldron and will be brewing plenty of tea for all . . .
Magic & Enchantment is in the air . . .
Looks like someone left their witches hat and jewelry behind. Love the hat!
I can’t wait to see all of it put together. . .
Took a little break and now I need to finish up ~ Have a wonderful Halloween!
In this most magical time of the year when the veils between the worlds grows thin, when the dead return, and the faeries gather on the hills, you can hear the ancestors voices carried on the wind.
Places to visit;
* Valerianna Claff at Raven Wood Forest, has a wonderful blog post on paying attention to nature’s cycles. Also be sure to listen to the song “Into the Mystery”.
* Tess Giles Marshall review of “The Dangerous old Woman” by Dr Pinkola Estes on her blog site Pilgrim’s Moon
* Check out Whispers of the Ancestors; A Tarot spread for All Hallows by Joanna Powell Colbert. I did this Tarot spread for myself last year and I loved it!
Here’s a video to stir the heart and mind ~ Blessings to all.

Gifts From Nature
I found these small gifts tucked safely away in my coat pocket ~ Gift’s from earth, sky and sea. A feather caught in my hair on one of my walks ~An Oak leaf with a tiny acorn from a favorite tree and a small treasure from my last visit to the ocean.
Later, as I was cleaning out an antique chest of drawers , I decided to try and find some information on the unusual drawer pulls. The only info I found was very limited. ~ Sigh . .
Aunt Margie purchased it at a garage sale in New York in the early 40’s. Apparently, it had been painted over with several layers of bright green paint. Imagine her surprise to find cherry wood underneath all that paint.
Over the years, this old chest has become like an old friend with it’s worn edges and Victorian Green Man faces staring out from each drawer like little guardians protecting hidden treasures tucked away inside. Such beauty & craftsmanship!
Autumn ~ So Peaceful ~ Mother Nature ~ Winding Down ~ A touch of frost in the air.
Before I go, here is a sweet little video I found on You tube.
Autumn, and the lure of the season. A dance film working around poetry.
October Days
“Come said the wind to
the leaves one day,
Come o’re the meadows
and we will play.
Put on your dresses
scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone
and the days grow cold.” ~
A Children’s Song of the 1880’s

Sunday
Sundays are for sleeping in, drinking coffee, reading in bed, gathering my thoughts and long walks.
Walking by the creek near our home.
Communing with Mother Nature.
Finding refuge in the small things in life.
Something to quench one’s thirst.
Quiet moments spent with loved ones. Good food, laughter, introspection & gratitude for all the things life has to offer.
Dream . . . Love . . . Imagine . . . xo
