  • Earth Hour 2009 – This Saturday – March 27th.

    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!

  • Mohawk Indian Prayer

    Hey All-
    I think that thinking its finally spring yet its 20 degrees outside is getting to my head! Cabin fever of the worst kind. The calender says its Spring, and it is light much later already, but its still cold and snowy. Blech! I love this prayer below, and have been saying it every day hoping it will hurry the grass to green up soon! ( I know, but a girl can dream, cant she?)

    Mohawk Indian Prayer

    Oh Great Spirit, Creator of all things;
    Human Beings, trees, grass, berries.
    Help us, be kind to us.
    Let us be happy on earth.
    Let us lead our children
    To a good life and old age.
    These our people; give them good minds
    To love one another.
    Oh Great Spirit,
    Be kind to us
    Give these people the favor
    To see green trees,
    Green grass, flowers, and berries
    This next spring;
    So we all meet again
    Oh Great Spirit,
    We ask of you.

  • Spring Equinox – March 20, 2009

    Happy Spring, Everyone!

    Far from being an arbitrary indicator of the changing seasons, March 20 (March 21 in some years) is significant for astronomical reasons. On March 20, 2009, at precisely 7:44 A.M. EDT , the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere, this is the moment of the autumnal equinox. Translated literally, equinox
    means "equal night." Because the sun is positioned above the equator,
    day and night are about equal in length all over the world during the
    equinoxes.

    From a technical standpoint the Vernal Equinox is an astronomical
    event, it’s one of the four quadrature days of the Earth’s orbit.
    However for people both modern and ancient, the Vernal Equinox marked
    the transition from winter into spring. The Vernal Equinox occurs on
    March 20th or 21st and is one of two days during the year when there
    are 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, the other day is the
    Autumnal Equinox.

    People have been marking and celebrating the
    Vernal Equinox for thousands of years. The Great Sphinx which was
    constructed over 4500 years ago on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, faces due
    east on the Vernal Equinox. The monoliths located at Stonehenge, which
    are estimated to be over 3000 years old, mark the position of the
    rising sun on the Vernal Equinox. In Central America the Ancient Mayan
    Caracol Tower and Temples of the Sun and Moon also have alignments that
    coincide with the sun’s position on the Vernal Equinox.

    Most
    historians believe that this knowledge was important to ancient
    cultures in choosing a time to plant their crops. In Iran they
    celebrate Norouz (which roughly translates to “new day”) on the Vernal
    Equinox. In China they celebrate Chunfen on the Vernal Equinox. In
    ancient Europe they celebrated the arrival of the goddess of spring
    Ostara on this day. Ostara was also known as Ostera and Eostre in
    different parts of Europe. Many historians believe the Christian
    holiday Easter gets its name from Eostre, as she had an enchanted
    rabbit that could lay eggs. In more modern times the Vernal Equinox
    marked the first Earth Day celebration in 1971.

    One of the odd
    traditions that that occur on the Vernal Equinox is egg balancing. The
    story goes that it is possible to balance a raw egg on its oblong end
    on this day. There is no truth to this rumor it’s just as easy (or
    hard) to balance an egg on its end on this day as it is any other day.
    This story is perpetuated by the media who usually run a small segment
    on it, during news shows on this day.

    Media hype or not, as a kid I thought the balancing of eggs on the Equinox was great and magickal fun! I still do it, I did it this morning, as I sat here at my desk at work, with the folks around me asking why I was playing with my breakfast. Its a tradition now, that brings me back to simpler times, when one the actions of one little egg could keep me fascinated for days.

    Hope you all get to go out and do something special today, to mark the beginning of the season of light!

  • Prayer for today.

    Hi There,
    I received this prayer in my inbox today from a dear client. Reading it made me feel so empowered I just had to pass it along…….

    St. Theresa's Prayer:

     'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you

     are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of

     faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and

     pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself

     just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your

     soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every

     one of us.'

  • Quote for today…..

    “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
        ~~~~ Dr Seuss

    No one is more You than You! Today, do something just for You!~ I swear, sometimes clients can get so caught up in their cases, and all the drama and emotion that can sometimes go along with that, that they just lose track of who they are. So, today, in honor of Dr Seuss' birthday, everyone go out and do something just for you! Remember who you are, and be your own best friend!

  • How I spent my Saturday Afternoon.

    Happy Saturday!

    So, after doing the usual mundane stuff this morning, I decided to refresh a couple of my altar spaces. Both Agwe and Gran Bwa have kinda been asking for "more space" in odd ways, so today was the day I decided to make that happen. I have posted 2 new picures in my photo album. Go take a peek!

    Also, just 2 days remaining for the tarot reading special! Most of next week is booked up, but there are a few slots open for next weekend, just before the big Sobo Prosperity and Security Ritual.  Dont forget to send in your email with your petition for this free ritual for all by Mambo Sam's New Orleans Voodoo Family!

    We have also put together a nice ritual kit that can be used in conjunction with the ritual we will be doing. You do NOT need it to participate in or be included in the ritual. However, if you can participate in using this kit, it will definitely help strengthen your petition.

    Leaves
    by Elsie Brady

                            How silently they tumble down


                            And come to rest upon the ground


                            To lay a carpet, rich and rare,


                            Beneath the trees without a care,


                            Content to sleep, their work well done,


                            Colors gleaming in the sun.

                         

                         

     

                         

                            At other times, they wildly fly


                            Until they nearly reach the sky.


                            Twisting, turning through the air


                            Till all the trees stand stark and bare.


                            Exhausted, drop to earth below



                            To wait, like children, for the snow.
