Cat Blessing

Sometimes.... this is true!

Time for lavender!

Time to pick and dry the Lavender.  The bee's have had a few weeks fun, so I'm going interrupt them and grab some for myself!

This year I'm going to try "Lavender Pepper, Lavender Mustard", and adding flowers and stem to some of my massage gels.

 I usually like to keep it clear... but with the cool blue color of the gel, I think a lavender sprig floating in the middle will look fantastic!

I love our boys!!!

Depression

For your info

My best friend Barb can't understand why I like facebook so much.... It's not hard to explain...

 In a person to person setting, people tend to think I'm very slow mentally, or a dumb blonde...All because I can't hear what's being said. 

I have only 10% hearing in one ear, and the others even worse...besides that I have a constant sound of my heart beat in my ears, and at times, a ringing that is loud.... and I just got freaking tired of asking everyone to repeat what they said... so I just sit, nod, and hope I catch something that I can put together in my mind and know what's being said! 

 Hence, she must be really stupid, she just doesn't get it, or my fave, sorry it's too complicated for you. In reality I'm a member of MENSA... stupid isn't what they call me.. believe me. 

 And facebook offers me the opportunity to talk and joke and gab WITHOUT having to hear a word! A lot of my friends have disability's that are very apparent when you see them.. someone who's deaf is a not in that category, because we seem pretty normal on the outside. 

You can tell people all the time "sorry, I can't hear you" and they pretty much ignore it the next time they talk to you.

 Simple things like.... touch me on the shoulder to get my attention... make sure you talk to me in an area without tons of background noise... also, cell phone suck! Can only hear ever other word or so. Land lines rock! talking close to my ear helps a lot too. and I'm really good reading quirking eyebrows and finger gestures. Make sure your mouth and face aren't covered when you talk to me... lip reading helps me a lot, and PLEASE DON'T TALK TO ME WHEN YOUR BEHIND ME! But, facebook is fun, I don't have to strain cause no ones talking out loud, so I'm sticking with it. I love you all, but people who hear can sometime be giant putz's!

THE LOVER'S BRUNCH SEX SPELL

This is used to arouse your lovers interest in you.
You will need these ingredients...
4 eggs
1/2 tsp. ginger
pinch of salt & pepper
Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Fill half an eggshell with water twice, pouring the water in the bowl each time. Beat the mixture until it's fluffy. Cook it in a lightly
-buttered frying pan over low heat until the bottom of the
  omelet's done.
With your fingernail trace your initials or name at the top of the omelet and his/hers at the bottom.

Pop it under the broiler for a moment to cook the top.

Fold so that the initials are hidden.
Along with the omelet, serve a salad of bananas, peaches and pitted cherries - all of which have a power to arouse love. Hot rolls and apple butter also go along nicely (it's the apple butter with the power, especially if you made it yourself and used some of your kitchen witchery skills in the making of it!) If you can, share this omelet from the same plate for a romantic brunch!
Wash your brunch down with champagne.

So true!

Massage Gel

Spending the weekend making some special order Massage Gel's.  I love to use recycled Caviar Jars... good for the planet, and I get to eat the Caviar!!!!  Mmmmmmmm

This weekend a special massage gel for a friend looking for love, and one for muscle pain for an actor I know who does his own stunts.

Tried a new one using Lavender Epson Salts, and found out my Gel and the salts...NOT a good combination... chemical reaction was swift and weird.   Not going to try Epson salts again!!!  But, If you don't try new things... you'll never know if they work.

Have a good stock of fresh herbs and oils, so off to work I go!

Bast

Bast - The Mistress of Oracles

One of the most commonly known of the Egyptian Goddesses, Bastet is one of the Goddesses of healing and divination. As the Lady of the Casket Bast acts as a Death Goddess - one of those who strides upon the battlefield with claws drawn and who burns the bodies of those who fail Ma'at's final test of virtue. She is the Matron of Magick and all dances - from that of war to that of life.

The domains of Bastet include sex (both homosexual and heterosexual) and fertility, marriage (between men and women and women and women) and childbirth, healing and prosperity, dancing and joy, magic and music, protection and warfare. All the pleasures and horrors of life are seen by her ever watchful eye. She has the ability to give and to take - to create beauty and to destroy it through all consuming flame. She is the creator and the destroyer of pleasure.

A wife and daughter of Ra, Bastet represented the power of a woman's sex: the center of pleasure and creation. She was regal and obscene, but mysterious and revered.

Herbs

Catmint - better known as catnip - is (unsurprisingly) sacred to this feline deity, alongside valerian, cinnamon, vervain and cannabis. When it comes to oils and incense cassia and catnip oil may be used alongside animal fats from birds in anointing candles to this cat Goddess.

Stones

Again unsurprisingly, the Tiger's Eye and Cat's eyes stones are sacred to Bastet, but Alabaster - that pure white stone used by artists to carve sacred images - is also sacred to this Goddess. Her devotees may keep alabaster lionesses upon their altars or wear alabaster cartouches bearing her signature upon it.

Animals and Bastet

Cats - any cat, big or small. Cats are sacred to this goddess. Known as her servants, these graceful, sleek, loudly sexual beings encompass many of Bast's own traits and aiding feral and domestic cats is the best way to show Bast of your devotion.

Building an Altar to Bastet

Green and blue altar cloths are the best way to begin with building this altar along with symbols of the sun and moon. Cats, sacred jewels, and images of her being are all appropriate to add - but also remember to include bottles or bowls of incense, creams and perfumes. Sistrums (an ancient type of instrument) and rattles may be placed upon or played before the altar in worship of her sacred godhood, as well as candles of red, green, yellow and blue each representing the various aspects of Her being. Aegis Gorgets, ankhs and baskets may also be added to increase her presence on your life and Her power.

The Feast of Drunkenness

The feast of Bast took place during the festival of what is now known as Samhain - during this time boats of women and men would wander up and down the delta river, and local women would gather at the shoreline, dancing and screaming obscene things back and forth to one another while singing and performing what is known as the Anasuromai - a ritual dance consisting of raising one's skirts to expose one's naughty bits. It was said that in this dance one could find healing from grief and once again embrace life and laughter...I think we can guess what they were all smoking. It was said that this holy day (celebrated by adults - for children were not allowed in....) that sometimes over 700,000 people would arrive in Bastet's holy city of Bubastis where this festival of drunken revelry took place.

Prayer to Bastet

Beloved Bastet, mistress of happiness and bounty, twin of the Sun God, slay the evil that afflicts our minds as you slay the serpent Apep.

With your graceful stealth anticipate the moves of all who perpetrate cruelties and stay their hands against the children of light.

Grant us the joy of song and dance, and ever watch over us in the lonely places in which we must walk...


Blessed be, and may the Mistress of Magic guide your path. Holy Ubasti, bless us all.

Sweeping spell

My sad lament

This is my sad lament.... I'm depressed, more so then usual.  And, people don't understand it!  They say I'm always cheerfull, and happy..... but I'm not.

I am the Invisible Woman.

Years and years ago, in a land far far away... being invisible was my job.  I had to get in, do my job, and get out without anyone noticing me.  And considering the younger me was SUPER HOT... it was hard work being invisible... but I did it, and did it well, or I wouldn't be alive today.

Over the years I've managed to slip off part of that shield of invisibility... but not all, of it. Too ingrained in my life to go away completely.

Sure, I have friends, in real life and on facebook.... but I'm still invisible. 

I don't know if it's because most of my men friends are gay...

and people mistake me for being in a relationship with them...

since we've been friends for years and years... I guess, it could seem like we are a couple, when we hang out.

But, that can't be all of it. 

I'm sad to admit... I haven't had a date, a hug, hot sex, or even a freaking kiss in over 10 years!!!!!!

10 YEARS.  I miss it, I miss it so damn much that.... depression happens.

I can't figure out why?  Maybe the Goddess has plans for me... maybe I'm just so UGLY that men are totally turned off when with me?

I'm always friendly, well groomed, smell nice.....Maybe it's my aura fucking me up.

Either way.... it's not a good place, or a way to live.  It sucks the big one!  Someday I'll pass away, and maybe some people will notice that I'm gone... and maybe even miss me... though that's doubtful... I'm not that impressive to have left a lasting mark on anyone's life. 

Do not take this as suicide depression... I'm not stupid, and I will enjoy all the time I have left... but, it's not as much fun, being alone.
