Magical Monday



Rune(s) of the Week:

Raido: Wagon or Chariot: Represents travel, both in physical terms and those of lifestyle direction. The rune predicts a journey, vacation, relocation, evolution, change of place or setting. It allows seeing a larger perspective. Seeing the right move for you to make a deciding upon it. It symbolizes personal rhythm, world rhythm and the dance of life. 

Laguz: Lake: This run represents the flow of water, sea, a fertility source, the healing power of renewal, life's energy and organic growth. It symbolizes imagination and psychic matters, dreams, fantasies, mysteries, the unknown, the hidden, the deep, the underworld. It predicts success in travel or acquisition, but with the possibility of loss. 




Tarot Card(s) of the week:

Ten of Arrows: Instruction - 

Meaning: A parent passes on skills, wisdom and ancestral ways with love and tolerance. Instruction and communication are required between the generations to help use old skills in new ways. 

King of Bows: Adder - 

Meaning: At this time of year, the Adder represents serpentine Earth energies rising from the ground into the ait and intertwining, as male adders struggle for dominance. (Sometimes this is mistaken for a mating ritual) They also represent magical power, balance and the healing arts. 

Reading Points: Maturity, strength or resolve, energy and wisdom. The genius and individuality of the seeker is enhanced and rewarded at very turn. Your leadership is unchallenged, your path direct, your goals realized. 

Thoughts: 

Today is Lammas. I am thinking today about things that I can list as completed in my year, and things that I feel are ready for "harvest". I have come a long way in the last year. I can feel myself opening up more, and taking more control of my life. I have brought some strong and amazing people into my life, and also become closer to some who had been in my life tangentially. Now I am looking for a change of career that uses my education. Possibly writing or editing locally. I need to brush up my resume and get to applying. Here is a song for Lammas. 


Blessings!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"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

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
