I've been neglecting my blog again.  It was really bad this time.  With the death of my parents and my mentor Judith, the blogger of Merlin's Magical Mistress, I just haven't been feeling like posting anything new.  It's been 2 years since my last blog and probably no one follows me anymore, but hopefully that will change.  But, I am back.

Brightest Blessings as the first harvest approaches!!

Merlin's Magickal Mistress: You might be a Redneck Pagan

I read a really good article this morning that kinda really made me re-think how I describe myself and my path.  I have always "labeled" myself as Wiccan but I come to find that I am more of a "Traditionalist."  I don't always follow the letter of the law regarding the Wiccan Rede nor the teachings of the Gardnerian ways.  But, there was really no other way to describe myself other than Wiccan that I know of.  I do, however, believe in the law of three but don't believe that there is good or bad magic.

I know that many don't read my blog, but read this article.  It is actually quite good and eye opening.

Brightest Blessings and have a Great weekend!!

It has been almost a year since I posted anything.  I need to get back into adding things at least once a week.  But for now....here is this.

Brightest Blessings!!!

Witch:
Herbs and twigs the caldron bubbles,
Banishing hate and all of the troubles,
A Witch lives in love and light,
Worshiping the moon throughout the night,
Dew of morning is our song,
Sun shining down bright and strong,,
Only good we bind so tight,
As magic surrounds us with all its might,
Humming a tune as old as time.
Harming none our words in rhyme,
Magic abounds for all to see,
A world of wonder and many blessed be`s
Pen Parker 8/4/14

This spell can be used to make up with your beloved after an argument.

You will need a blue taper candle, lavender scented oil, a ballpoint pen, a bowl of cool salt water, and a cup of pure water.

Clean the candle in the salt water, then draw a magic circle and call in the elements.  Breathe deeply for a few minutes.  As you breathe in, imagine breathing in pure white light.  Fill you being with pure white light. Next, use the pen to write the words Making Up on the candle.  Write yours and your beloved's initials on op of the words.  Then rub the lavender scented oil on the candle.  Anoint yourself with the oil, rubbing a few drops on your ankles, wrists, and throat.  Wipe the oil from your hands and light the candle, dedicating it to your beloved.  Next, hold the cup of pure water in your hands and say:

Anger be washed away
Love brighten my day.
So be it!  Blessed be!

Bring the cup to your mouth.  As you drink the water, think about it washing away all of the anger and irritation you may be feeling toward the one you love.  When you are done, close the circle and bid farewell to the elements.  Allow the candle to burn down completely.  Within the next twenty-four hours, take the initiative and do something to show your appreciation for the one you love.

You will need one cup of unfiltered apple juice, one cup of papaya nectar, six drops of pure vanilla, ice, and two glasses.  Make this potion just prior to drinking it.

Pour equal amounts of the juices and vanilla into the two glasses filled with ice.  Stir the potion clockwise, one glass at a time, and say:

The fruits of love blend together
Just as you and I come together
I am you as you are me
By the Lady, blessed be!

After stirring and empowering the potion, drink the brew with the one you love to stimulate romance, love, and passion.

I am very sorry that I have been neglecting my blog.  There has been a lot going on since my last post.  I have started grad school full-time and still working full-time.  Needless to say, I don't have much time for anything else.  I promise I will be more forth coming with blog posts.

Blessed Be...

The flower is the symbol of florescence.  Midsummer's Eve is the time when plants and flowers in nature come into bloom.  It is the most vital point of growth and being.  Like the flowers, you also have times of florescence, when your ideas, relationships, and inner self bloom with vibrant energy.  For example, you experience cycles where you go from times where you are very productive to periods where you just want to sit back and reflect upon things in your life.  This ritual celebrates the face that there is a time to dig and prepare the ground, a time to plant seeds and cultivate your dreams, and a time to harvest your potential and tap into your personal preference.

You will need some living flowers in a flower pot of in a garden.  Perform this spell on Midsummer's Eve (the eve of the Summer Solstice).

Begin by getting in a comfortable position in front of the flowers.  Touch the flowers softly with all ten of your fingertips.  Feel the softness of the blooms.  Take a few deep breaths and imagine breathing in their beauty and energy.  Become one with the flowers and imagine your energy meshing completely with theirs.  Feel yourself being revitalized and blooming just like the beautiful flowers in front of you.  Take a few minutes to do this.  Now, while still touching the flowers, say:

I am the flowers,
The flowers are me.
We are one.
I am the flower blooms,
The flower blooms are me,
We are one.
I am the color of the flowes,
The color of the flowers is me,
We are one.
I am the fragrance of the flowers,
The fragrance of the flowers is me,
We are one.
I am the flowers,
The flowers are me,
We are one.

Take a few more minutes, imaging that you are one with the beautiful blooms and are coming into your personal florescence.

Blessed Be...

Ingredients:
A green candle
A picture of yourself when healthy
An orange
A knife

Place the orange on the picture which should be face up.  Light the candle.

Chant....

"Sickness comes and sickness goes
from my head to my toes
As I make this orange bleed
The sickness will pass out of me"

Cut the orange in half with the knife.  Eat one half and bury the other half open side down outside.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile.  Life has that nasty way of keeping one busy.

Brightest Blessings to all!
