allergys!

Benadryl is gooooooodddddd! Not only rids me of allergy's...... but makes me soooooo mellllllow!

2 weeks

Here I am two weeks later. Now the Dr. said that the first treatment would show a tiny bit of improvement... and it has!

I've noticed that 2 lesions are gone, and the rest has shrunk, maybe not in size.... but in depth.

They aren't as puffy as before. Still pink, and some scabs, but now makeup will cover it up, and I don't feel like a monster in public!

Would I have done it if I knew it would take 2 FREAKING WEEKS to look almost normal????

Can't say if I would have...... but I WILL be going back for the next two treatments!

The next one is 23 days from Shore Leave, so knowing it's taken 2 weeks to heal up..... I'm cool with it.

I should look fine for Shore Leave!

Will it be worth it in the end? Won't know till it's over, but I have faith!

HAPPY MEMEORIAL DAY!

Bird bath

When my Mom passed I snatched up this old cement birdbath she had in the back yard for as long as I can remember..... and that's a lllllloooooonnnnnnggggg time! Giggle

It didn't hold much water, and the water it held became bright red in days! But I loved the tree design so I put dirt in it and planted a creeping perennial, that loves the sun!

It's pretty cool how it formed a canopy on top of the birdbath, taking on the persona of a tree!

I feel the Goddess was saying....."this is my home!"

You don't need land to grow stuff!!!

The pot I painted black around my light post is going nuts! The sedum is over 8 years old and will soon bloom..... along with the chives and pansy's I planted for color!

As you can see the "Pink" time is over for the front of the house, now the honeysuckle is blooming bright orange, and soon the orange tiger Lily's will be blooming too!

That teenie tiny Gogi Berry bush is flourishing!!!!! From a 1 inch plant to this in just a few short months!

The "Witch's Broom" was mislabeled once again, and I got orange instead of pink!!!! But it's so pretty, I don't care!

My tomato plants..... started inside during the winter, are doing fantastic.

And the blueberry's are super this year! I'm going to have to make Jam!!!

The Strawberry's in the cauldron are getting HUGE!!! I've already pick mega sweet red strawberry's! The lavender surrounding the cauldron is about to bloom. And you can see the gooseberry's (upper left) is hale and hardy this year. On the right is Peony's, Iris's, and more tiger Lily's!

You don't have to have a huge yard to grow stuff.

I love my little garden!!!!

Spell Binding

SPELL BINDER

This is best used at the end of a spoken or written spell.
This adds a certain boost to the releasing of energy.
It also works best if you are wearing a Pentagram you have attuned to yourself.
Speak these word with all the fibers of your body while releasing the spell's energy:

By the Pentagram I wear,
Water, Fire, Earth, and Air,
Ruled by Spirit as All should be
As I speak So Mote It Be!


A GENERAL CHARGE FOR SPELL WORK

The following chant is a good all purpose chant that can be used for just about any spell

Witches power burning bright, tarot, rune and blade,
Charge the spell, enfilled with might, here and now the magic's made.
Wave and tree, hedge and flame, strength of the elements gather here,
to bless this work and charge it well, to complete the spell now far or near.
Mystic Moon and Brilliant Sun, send your power here this way,
Gracious Lady, Mighty Lord, bless this charge that I lay.
Powers that are, powers that be, gather round this spell I cast,
empower my working three times three, send it forth to see it last! So Shall it Be!

Wishing Magic!

SPELL TO GET WHAT YOU WISH FOR

Take a horse shoe and put it around a red candle.
Put the candle in a darkened room in the middle of a table.

Write what it is you want on a piece of paper with a quill pen dipped in black ink.

Chant the following as you write:

What I want I write here
Please take my dream and bring it near
What I want Is What I should get
Let all my dreams Now be met

Now take the paper and fold it in a square of four creases .
Hold it over the candle with a pair of tweezers and let it burn.

Picture yourself with your wish fulfilled as you burn the paper send waves of love
at the image you conjure of your self.


SPELL TO SHOW YOU HOW TO GRANT ANY WISH

Four or six bananas
Palm butter
Red cotton thread or wool/yarn
Parchment or brown paper
Red ink or Dove's Blood ink
Quill Pen

Start this spell on a Friday.
Buy a banana bunch in the name of Chango. (say to yourself at the register... I buy these banana's in the name of the God Chango)

Write your wish on parchment and fold toward you.

Slip paper to fit tightly between bananas.

Rub palm butter on bananas.

Wrap banana bunch with red string or yarn until you can no longer see the folded paper.

Hang banana bunch on a nail outside or inside by your front door. (outside is better, fruit flys you know!)

By the time the bunch is black and withered you will have your answer or your wish granted.


THE WISHING WELL

Take any large bowl.
Drip a few drops of different colored candle wax in the bottom of the bowl, then
adhere a white candle to that spot.

The different colors represent diverse needs and goals, while the white binds
this variety together in harmony.

Each morning, light the candle when you get up and put a coin in the bowl.

Make your wish for the day. Blow out the candle before you leave the house.

Whenever you desperately need to have a wish fulfilled, remove a coin from the bowl

and either plant it in rich soil (houseplants will do ) or throw it into moving water so that your message of need will be carried through the earth.

When the bowl is filled with coins, use all but a few (these "seeds" always remain in your bowl) for random acts of kindness, like getting treats for the neighborhood kids or helping a homeless person.


Your generosity will return to you threefold to keep the magic of benevolence, both
mundane and divine, with you always.
