To Trust Or Not To Trust

The New Moon in Taurus



Lets talk a little about V/C or Void of Course

I have had clients ask me from time to time what does that term mean. Void of Course. I Will always do my best to answer the questions I receive from clients in the easiest way to understand and in a way that anyone can learn.

So, Void of Course...In layman's terms it just means the moon is taking a little nap. When she wakes up she will be in at full power but runs her battery down quickly so she has to nap a little more to keep her strength up. When you put your wish or intention out while the moon is void its like talking to someone who is sound asleep. Your intentions will come to nothing.

When you put your intentions out for the new moon it's best to do them when the moon is NOT sleeping or "In The Void"

The moon will be wide awake on Saturday April 21st at 1:18 MST and for those of you who really are intense about making your wishes, you can stay up or wake yourself up at that hour to set out your intentions. Or you can do them like the rest of us and wait until Saturday morning.

Saturday may seem like an odd time because traditionally Saturday is the day used to rid yourself of things unwanted but that is another story for another day and time.

About the time you wake up it will be a good time to focus on 5 wishes. At this time alot of people are at a cross roads. You should pick an area in your life where you feel you are at a crossroads in your life be it money, relationships, career, home health of family...Ect ect.

this intention will be "I trust that this will occur because....." Why? That's going to be your intention, for instance, I trust this relationship will work out because...." then fill in the blank and write down 5 reasons why this will occur then reread them and think for a moment how you know why it will occur.

If you feel any doubt come up then go over that intention and see it completely done, ,that way it will manifest for you.

At each new moon give every intention or wish 28 days to fulfill and you'll be guaranteed to move past that crossroad because your willing to trust yourself for those 28 days concerning that area of your life which also forms good habitats.

Keep your wishes and intentions fairly simple so you can see the magic in your life that you can create for yourself.

A Hole Lotta Let Go

Today Mercury goes' direct. Did you notice that your day might of still been "Over the Top". That is because there is always a storm that always follows mercury retrograde for about a week.

However, we have full moon coming Friday. 1:15 PM MST. Its always good if we can set our best intentions at midnight. we are still in the "rabbit hole". The Storm is like the pack of cards that flew into Alice's head and hit her square in the middle of her head.



Sound familiar? There may be one more pattern that we can rid ourselves of, so grab a candle quick. Dark purple would be great! Rub your hands in good old virgin olive oil, anoint it with a down stroke one, two, three, set it on a plate and light it. It would be best if you could write everything down that you "lovingly" hate about yourself so you can focus on that with your candle saying to yourself...this is enough, out done done done!!!!!!!

The patterns to look at are old narcissistic patterns that have crept up. Do you want to rid yourself of that little 3yr old narcissist? Well you can rid yourself of yours and I can rid myself of mine. how deep do you want to go, some holes are bigger than others.... talk to your favorite deity and be strong enough to let out all those little shadows. and before the rabbit can say I'm late I'm late for a very important date...you'll be out of the hole.

I hope you give yourself a break and allow yourself to kick and yell and throw a tantrum even for a minute because that powers that be will remove all of that from you. well, once your done snuff the candle out (never blow it out) and go get some of those Peeps that you have hidden somewhere in your house and of course pet your cat. she just added another life for you. Mew Mew..

New moon in the retrograde

Why would you want to do any magic with everything that’s coming at you right now? It would be like Dorothy wearing her shoes on the opposite feet.

Click click click and everything goes away from you and you defiantly end up in a black and white TV box.

So what can you do? Because today is a bueatmous day to do something.

We can still wish for things. Wish that certain things will go away from you. Example. Such as that old pair of panties that have been hanging around that drawer and those old crusty PJ’s that not even a bag lady would wear.

Now that’s not to say you can’t do a little magick. Sprinkle fairy dust (like we talked about the other day) over your Victoria secret card and see what pops up into that drawer. Now, those of you that have familiars give them a little extra something and they can do your work for you.

On a serious note, traditionally, to do any kind of magick on a dark moon is a no no. This time is best use for meditation and introspection. It’s only when you see that thumbnail hanging in the sky that you can wish big or create your wish list or leave it for next month. Get a candle this time, I don’t care if it’s a jar candle, and put an intention for yourself for your own self esteem and just for fun gift somebody with some little fun candies before Easter comes.

To be perfectly sane is complete insanity. So mind me or not is a question for you to answer. Have fun, blessed be and have a puurrrffeeccttllyy mahvelous new moon

A Fairy Tale by Stregapandora

Today is the spring equinox and aren’t we lucky to have such a nice sunny day to celebrate. Why yes we are, seeming as it is a month early, however if you look around the crocus are starting to poking their little heads up out of the ground.
Now, you might be feeling a little bit of cabin fever; of course it started out over the weekend with a nice push from the leprechauns’. So everyone asks what do you do for the equinoxes? Let us integrate our fairies. Are they easy to find? Typically? NO. That doesn’t mean you can’t go on a hunt for them. Between today and tomorrow is a good time for a celebration. (You know, we don’t have to do everything all within a few hours)

You can start out today with lovely meal for yourself and maybe your friends as well. It’s all about celebrating the earth's rebirth and maybe you can even save some of that yummy food (hopefully it would be bits of cookies maybe a little wine and don’t forget to grab the glitter) and make those your offerings. Now, where do you put these things your offering? Go outside and look for the big old trees with big old knots. Those are going to be the big old boys or the good old girls and if you see the knotted ones, around there is where the fairies will live.


Remember though, It’s only at midsummer when you will have an absolutely magical time being able to see the Fairies.

Someone asked me today if there is a difference between pixies and fairies. Well, the pixies will do hard work for us and fairies simply love to play. If you choose to invite them into your space ask them for what you need and barter only one thing for another, meaning oats for barley. If you leave them little clothes they will take them and run away for now you’ve paid them in kind.
Paint your face with glitter all over and this will make you feel magical too.



If you want to make magical food stir in magical intents.

The Lore of Leprechauns

The Irish didn't always look so kindly on wearing the color green. Irish folklore considered the color unlucky as it was the favorite shade of the Good People, Leprechauns. those who wore too much of the color, especially children could be stolen away, Some cynics may tell you there are no such things as leprechauns, but there are those who beg to differ. True believers will swear that if you take a stroll along a quiet country lane in Ireland, You can actually hear the mischievous leprechauns giggling by the side of the road.


A TRUE TALE
About two centuries ago Molly Cogan of Kilmallock told the famous folklorist Thomas Crofton Crocker about a leprechaun her grandfather had met, and even caught. It happened like this: one night as he went to the to tend his old mare, Grandpa Cogan heard something hammering hammering hammering just for all the world like a shoemaker making a shoe and whistling all the time the prettiest tune he ever heard his whole life before. He guessed what might be making the sound and remembering tales of leprechauns and their gold, he crept in. He looked around but never a bit of the little man could he see anywhere, but he heard him hammering and whistling and so he looked and looked, till at last did he see the little fellow. And where was he, do you think, but in the girth under the mare and there he was with his little bit and apron on him, and a hammer in his hand, and he was so busy with his work, and he was hammering and whistling so loud, the he never minded my grand father till he caught the leprechaun fast in his hand. "Faith i have you know", he says. "And I'll never let you go till I get your purse, That's what I wont. So give it here to me at once now" "Stop Stop! cried the leprechaun. Stop till i get it for you. So my Grandfather like a fool you see opened his hand a bit and the little fellow jumped away laughing, And he never saw him anymore. and never a bit of the purse did he get only the leprechaun left his little shoe that he was making and my grandfather was mad enough angry with himself for letting him go but he had the shoe all his life. and my own mother told me she often saw it and had it in her hand and twas the pretties little shoe she ever saw

A bit of St. Patrick

Born in Wales to wealthy parents at the end of the 4th century, at the tender age of 16, Young Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders and whisked across the Irish Sea, Where he spent the next 6 years in captivity working as a lonely Shepard. His religion was his solace and so he became a devout christian. After 6 years, Patrick heard God's voice telling him it was time to leave Ireland, So he escaped from his captors and made his way back home. Here he had another vision from an angel who told him he should go back to preach Christianity to the Irish. After 14 years studying to be a priest, Patrick returned to Ireland where he built churches and spread the Christian faith for the next 30 years until his death on March 17th, 460 AD


St. Patrick used this simple green herb to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, The Father The Son and The Holy Spirit and how they could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of Wearing a Shamrock on his feast day

KITTY SOLSTICE

This is my very favorite time of year..I get to watch those teenie tiny little people come out of hiding. I will wait in the bushes and make my self super flat so they cannot see my green eyes peering out between the leaves. They may fly or flutter, and I will imagine my paws swiping the air and hopefully capturing one of them just for a moment to get some of that fairy magick on myself. I hope that I will see those little horses, white and bridled with maidenhair and flax prance with those golden hoofs clip-clopping across the empty fields, with tinkling bells announcing them. I know I must be quick, for that midnight hour passes fast. The Fairy Queen will be in her glory, with her musicians riding behind her singing and playing their flutes and lyres. Look carefully, or you will miss that magical moment...Ciao...Meow..
