In the Eye of the Hurricane

Ah, back to a bit of Magick!


First off, I did what I said I would and took the weekend to get back to me.  I meditated.  I lit candles.  I set intentions.  It all felt so good!  I am still working and progressing towards accepting what may be my new normal with my face, but it's a work in progress.


Now, with two storms on my doorstep, I did a candle to help protect.  Dressing the candle and setting my intentions felt SOOOOOO nice.  Watching its burn and feeling as though I'm doing something right felt wonderful.  I won't go into detail about my intentions or the spell itself, for protective reasons.  But I used both herbs and oils that I looked up that are good for protection and for storm safety.  Since Marco doesn't seem to be much of a threat anymore, I'll do my offering for Nature tomorrow most likely to ask for protection from Laura.  


I still have my Reiki practice on hold.  I know one of the first "rules" is you can't heal others before you yourself is healed.  I'll get there, though.  I will continue to read and educate myself in the meantime.  I'm bummed that I had to turn down becoming Level III because I don't have enough practice and I know I'm not ready.  But I'm being responsible.  


As of now, my spirit is good.  I feel at peace with the storms coming.  I am blessed enough that work has remained virtual this week because of the storms.  The Universe knew I needed a week to just reboot and get back to me.  And I am thankful for it.


Have a blessed week!

Changing Times

Oh, how the world has changed since I started this journey.  I feel as though that's why I found this part of me when I did.  I needed to change myself so I could handle the changing world.  I know I wouldn't be so well off if I hadn't changed.  I just can tell my anxiety would be getting the better of me much more often.  Earthy-existence can be quite frightening right now.  But most days I'm calm.  In fact, I think I've had only one anxiety-stricken moment....   I spend most of my days at home now.  Lou is on her last week of online classes.  I spend many moments of my days doing and saying little things to keep The Boy and The Hubby safe since they are "essential."  I cook and read and learn to love the moments of nothing throughout my day.  I am spending a LOT more time outside just existing.   I don't craft as much as I did at the beginning of my journey.  I can't just go out to the store daily...

The final word?

 This will, most likely, be my last public post, at least for the time being.  I know I haven't posted in ages in the first place, but I'm just making it final. When I started this particular blog, I was just starting on my journey.  I wanted this blog to be my journal of the process of finding my way.  I've been working on myself, my journey, my spirituality, my craft for a year now.  And I have discovered so much yet have so much more to find. As of late, I have been writing here, but keeping it as drafts.  I find solace in putting my words down, yet them remaining only mine.  I don't call it a book of shadows.  I write many things down in various places.   In a sense, my words all around me are my book of shadows. I may someday write again for others to see.  But for now, I have grown to the point where I am selfish with my words.  They shall remain only mine to keep. Blessed be, friends.  Remember that magick is a...

What's been going on

 Just a few things that I've been doing: I did a manifestation ritual on 11/11.  It used candles that represented health/prosperity/love/protection/self.   Since Samhain I've felt a presence when I'm at my altar area.  It's always on my right side.  I have a friend coming one day to help me be sure it's a guide and not something dark.  I don't think it is, but it's better to be sure, and she's better at that part in her practice. I bought some new Oracle cards--  Dark Mirror, Wisdom of the Night, and Dream.  I'm hoping they help me grow in different aspects of my practice.   I've been so tired after work each day.  I'm so unprepared in the mornings that I haven't been writing down my dreams.  I need to make myself write down what I remember right away so I can add them to my log later.   I did a Reiki session on my mom the other day.  It felt good to use my skills to help.  It seemed she fully enjoyed t...
