STOCKING THE WITCHY CABINET

 Merry Meet, everyone!

Today is Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday approaches. With that in mind, I wanted to share some links to shops I've been happy with as well as offer a gentle reminder that while this whole weekend has become VERY commercialized, this is the perfect opportunity to shop for 'crafty' folks in your life as well as pick up a little self-love gift for yourself.

MAGICAL MONDAY AFFIRMATION

Merry Meet, everyone!

Did you gather power from the Full Moon? I love when they fall on a weekend. I can really step into the magic and absorb all there is to offer.

PHOTO FRIDAY - Full Moon - Lunar Eclispe - Mourning Moon

 Merry Meet everyone!

This is our Mourning Moon and a Lunar Eclips. The eclipse should take place around 3:57 a.m. EST

You can see a map of viewing parameters HERE Enter your location and you'll get a pinpoint on the map. just pair up your location with the color bar on the right. I should have full visability. My challenge will be in either staying awake or being awake at that time. Maybe it's a camp out in the lawn chair kind of night.

I also found some lead-ins for how to honor the Mourning Moon HERE. Through a slide-show you're given four main points:

1 - Consider how you mourn

2 - Brave the Cold. 

3 - Cleanse

4 - Send a Message

All great steps in honoring any full moon, however the point about considering how you mourn and allow yourself a good cleansing cry is a superb idea.

Cry them out, write them out then burn them out are stellar ways to get rid of the excess baggage and words unsaid. 

Letting Go allows for more positive energy to come in.

Today is National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day.

I researched to see if there were any of their books that would applly to our community. Sadly, there is not. As a writer, it has me thinking. I'll keep you posted. Maybe we need a book by us, for us. 

In the mean time, brew up a big pot of chicken broth. Add your special touches and let the food nourish your soul, and those you share the meal with.

Blessings

 Merry Meet, everyone!

I apologize for no Monday post last week. I'm trying to get into a groove where I don't miss anyone. I'm good for the rest of November, so far. ;-)

PHOTO FRIDAY - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!

 Merry Meet, everyone!

I know there is controversy surrounding Daylight Savings Time, proving you can't please everyone all of the time.

As a witch (and as a NanoWriMo participant) I look forward to Daylight Savings Time in the autumn. I gain an extra hour to write and to feel the blessings of my ancestors as they encourage me to reach for my dreams. 

Have you thought about what you would do if you could turn back time? Cher offers some suggestions in this official video classic:

What will you do with an extra hour?
