Chocolate:

While
protein builds your muscles strong
Eating chocolate’s never wrong
It helps
you heal when you are down
It turns
your sadness right around
While
grains can make you run, run, run
Eating chocolate’s really fun
It gives
you energy to waste
And it
has an A plus taste
Dairy
builds strong teeth and bones
Chocolate
should be in all our homes
Milk Chocolate’s made with dairy too
It builds
strong bones just for you
Fruits
and Veggies keep you healthy
Chocolate
can make you very wealthy
Make it
into chocolate bars
And stack
them all the way to Mars

The first full moon of Spring is upon us! Look for it in the
sky April 9 & 10, 2009! The April full moon is also known as the Pink Full
Moon, as it marks the appearance of the grass pink, or wild ground phlox—one of
the first spring flowers. Native Americans of the northern and eastern part of
the United States tracked the seasons by giving a unique name to each of the
full moons. This name was for the entire month that the full moon
occurred in. The name of the full moon and variations of its name was used
by the Algonquin Indian tribes from New England to Lake Superior.It is also
known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon. Coastal
tribes called this moon the Fish Moon, because it was this time of year that
shad began their upstream climg to their spawning grounds. Here is a short
video about how this “Pink Moon” got its name.
This moon is also known as the Seed Moon. The energies
around this moon are ones of fertility, growth and inner wisdom. We are
encouraged to be bold at this time; to take action on things we have been putting
off all Winter. Spring has arrived, as has its energy for new starts and new
beginnings!
Tonight’s full moon shines near the star Spica, the
brightest light in the constellation Virgo. The first full moon to follow the
March equinox faithfully shines in front of Virgo, the harvest goddess, to
signal the change of seasons.
The Christian celebration of Easter falls on the first
Sunday after the first full moon of the northern hemisphere spring. So
tonight’s Easter Moon heralds the coming of Easter Sunday.
APRIL
FULL MOON by Lee Emmett (Australia)
in smoky-silk, milky-mist sea
full moon beauty gazes around
wearing lilac-veil she sails aloft
worldly domain without sound
dark arms of eucalyptus caress
cool-spirited fairies of mid-night
bathing in droplets on silver-sheen
forest-leaves; forms magical sight
Celebrate this time to begin welcoming in Spring! Clean out
your birdhouses, refill those bird feeders, go shopping in your favorite seed
catalogs 😉 Light a green candle for Gran Bwa and ask for his blessings in the
coming time of sun and lush grass and thick forests. Now would be a wonderful
time to do a simple Lwa honoring ritual for Gran Bwa as
well.
This is also a great time to air out your house with a lovely Marie Laveau Clean Sweep House Blessing kit. Spiritual spring cleaning at its best 😉
Spring is arriving and it is time to celebrate!

Hey there!
This Saturday night is 2009's Earth Hour is this Saturday at 8:30 pm – wherever you are 😉
Help raise awareness about global warming and other serious environmental issues by going dark and turning off all electronics and lights around you for one hour.
http://www.earthhour.org/home/
For those of you working on spellwork or adjunct work, this would be a great time to get those love candles going! Or a nice, intimate love doll session ;-) Or, if you get together with a group of friends its a great time to sit by candlelight and catch up on the local gossip or tell tall tales about the past. Or, for those of you who meditate or journal, Earth Hour would be a great time for those activities as well.
Make a date with yourself for Earth Hour 2009!~
If you care to share how you spent your Earth Hour, please do leave a comment here!

here is one more quote I couldn't resist passing along……..
Hey There!
Well, its nearly February again, and Marran Sam's New Orlean's Voodoo Family is gearing up for its annual month long ritual to the most beloved love lwa, Erzulie Freda. Past years have been very rewarding and sucessful, and we very much look forward to this year's riitual!
This is a totally free ritual – anyone can send in a request to erzulie@spellmaker.com No purchase is required to participate. This year, Mambo Sam has written up some instructions for people who would like to participate as well, but again, no purchase is necessary. There is a ritual kit available along the lines of the one crafted for the Sobo ritual done not so long ago, for people who are interested.
Please see Erzulie's Page for LOTS of information about Erzulie, products dedicated especially to her, the one time ritual pack, and also instructions for the ritual itself.
Wishing you all a very happy February!

That's Right! The Papa Legba Ritual Pack is finished and ready to ship! From what I hear, Legba was VERY meticulous about what and how he wanted things to be – JUST PERFECT of course!
Because we so often call upon Papa Alegba to help us with our communication with other lwa, we might almost forget to call upon his own great abilities to help us. Have a path that seems blocked to you? Doors won't open for you? Having troubling making someone you love understand what you want? Stuck at your own crossroads of life and don't know which way to turn? Our dear Papa is there for that and so much more! Few other lwa can offer as much comfort and understanding as Papa. His shoulder is there for us to cry upon; his arms welcome those who need safe haven. Few things are as satisfying spiritually as spending an evening doing a great service to Papa Alegba!
Mambo and Matt have put together a wonderful Ritual and Service package dedicated to Papa. This package not only includes instructions for a full authentic ritual, but also includes candles, special oil and incense developed on the point of and under the direction of Papa Alegba through Mambo Sam, veve, picture, and a number of unique and wonderful sacred items that have been dedicated and consecrated to Papa. Once you have this, you can do the ritual to Papa over and over again! There will be no need to purchase this package again. The ritual will be yours to use and you need only replace the oil, incense, and candles as needed!
Light and Love
