Over the last few months things have really been different, and my eyes opening to new things and doors closing on others. I keep thinking about certain situations and how I handled them and how I should have and could have handled them. I think of the heartaches and the sadness, and the things I have had no control over. Ended relationships, friendships that have been all over the map, family drama, and more. 

But I do think about the good times and the happiness as well and try focusing on those rather than the other. Still, it all seems connected. 

In the last week I have had revelations from, Gilmore girls, no less, in a moment when Rory vents about Jess and their “crappy” relationship, and it opened my eyes to events in my life. While again watching the show last night I realized yet again the profound power when Lorelei told her best friend her true feelings about their significant other.

My biggest  moment was Saturday night, I lost my Salem, my kittle man who had graced me with his presence for the last 14 years. He died laying next to me while I pet him and he held my index finger in his paw. It was hard and it was sad and it the littlest things make me think of and miss him. But his pain is over, his spirit is free and the rose I left on his grave yesterday after burying him, lost a petal that was waiting at my front door when I went back in. 

Something in his passing, I felt, unlocked something inside me, or lifted blinders. While I may treat myself to small things here and there, I rarely, if ever, treat myself. Somethings are about to change, and I am about to allow myself that freedom. I stopped asking for help because that just leads to depending on someone else, or the feeling of owing someone something. And I am not about that, not anymore. If I want it, I will get it, and if it needs done then by the gods I will find a way to do it myself.

Ive been a little indulgent lately. And apparently very drawn to the moon energies as well as Sekhmet.

[witchescompendium]

So excited my new book arrived today

[witchescompendium]

Recently there have been signs, and the last week they have grown stronger and more obvious. The goddess Sekhmet, one of the goddesses who chose me but has yet to reach out to me, has begun to reach out to me.

Changes have begun and courses altered. People are slowly vanishing from my life and actions set in motion.

Theres a part of me that can feel the transformations occuring and part of me that feels the healing as well. While in the past other deities have reach out , it hasnt been anything like this.

Full flower blood moon in scorpio to heal and cleanse and restore me.

I do, someone once close to me, and the more i try and the harder we make the effort it seems the more distance.

But thats life i guess.

Edit: fixed the bad transcript of full moons from May to August.

A little witchy calendar to look forward to next year, since this one was a little bit.. cursed.

This lets you know about the full moons, new moons, wheel of the year celebrations and zodiac entrys, I hope you can use this to aid you on your practice.

Witch’s Ladder

A Witch’s Ladder is a spell or several spells consisting on 3, 9 or 13 knots. Traditionally 9. A cord , rope or sometimes hair can be used to make it and it has been a practice from long time ago. Charms are knotted or braided with specific magical intention into the cords. The number of knots and nature of charms varies with the intention.

Some people like to chant a specific rhyme while knotting the charms, others will just think about each spell in their minds.

In other versions it can also be several spells that are waiting to be used. So each time you need one, you untie the knot with the specific intention and release its energy.

Have you tried making a witch’s ladder?

Remember. The witches new year is in one week. Let things go. Let people go. Make space for the new thing you want to bring into your life, for the new things the universe is ready to send into your life.

Last night I had a powerful and beautiful dream. I dreamed I was witnessing and in the middle of a great magical war. There were characters there from different films and shows, books and magical beasts and creatures from mythology and lore. There was a mansion and we, the hero’s, were being double crossed by one of our own, bracelets meant to heighten our powers but instead were to cancel them so that we could be destroyed by the enemy. But A few of us caught on and were able to save ourselves, it was then that the phone rang and they told me it was for me. 

In the story it was a neighbor who was in the military, she told me she was watching over my family. Watching over me. And that the magical beings and creatures I saw were real. That people didn’t believe in them and that’s why they were no longer visible and why magic, like the kind in fantasy, wasn’t considered “real” anymore, because nobody believed. 

My dream self felt empowered by this and went off to help plan the final battle. But i was stirring and realizing this dream was ending, but there was a powerful message in it. 

The Goddess spoke to me, and comforted me. She is watching over me and mine, and she knows the struggle I have had with my faith and friends and family. I felt powerful when I woke up and that is something I haven’t felt in a long while.
