Things to look forward to...

I have a bunch of awesome things coming up in the next couple of months so be on the look out for posts about the following things. Going to the Dublin Irish Festival this evening. A couple of trips to the zoo, one for Seth's Dad's company picnic and one for my Mom's birthday. Country Living Fair 2011 is the weekend of September 16 - 18 at the Ohio Village here in Columbus again this year. Mom, Traci, me and maybe my Aunt Gayle will be attending again this year. On October 5, my mom and I are going to see the Club Belly Dance tour as it comes through. Club Belly Dance is the smaller tour of the Belly Dance Superstars tour, so it should be an amazing tour. Also in October will be  many Halloween events including my first blog giveaway. I know what I am going to do, so be watching because it is going to be a good one.
I am so ready for the fall festivals and such to start. I love fall. I bought the book Autumn Equinox by Ellen Dugan this week and I am loving reading about fall and activities, but it makes me want fall to hurry up and get here. :)
I actually bought four more books this week including the one mentioned above. They are:




Yay new pagan books. 

In case you can't tell I love Ellen Dugan. She has an amazing writing style and her practice and ideas are so down to earth. If you haven't read any of her books check them out. A lot of my current practice is inspired by her book Cottage Witchery. 

Be on the look out for beauty, excitement, fun and silliness upcoming. 

Blessings.

Oh, Roisin, how I wish I was going to Ireland, but alas I was headed to Dublin, Ohio for an Irish Festival. Someday I hope to make it to Ireland though.

I just LOVE Ellen Dugan's stuff. So empowering! She was my first witchy author & I credit How To Enchant a Man by her as opening the door to my happy path.

I can smell fall already. New books are always wonderful. I'm going to a craft fair with my mommy next week, and am so excited!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

Image
"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl.
