  • St. Francis of Assisi October 4 ~~~ Blessing of the Animals

    Today, October 4th, is a day across the world where people take their pets to be blessed.

    For single householders, a pet can be a true companion. Many people arrive home from work to find a furry friend overjoyed at their return. Many a senior has a lap filled with a purring fellow creature.

    The bond between person and pet is like no other relationship, because the communication between fellow creatures is at its most basic. Eye-to-eye, a man and his dog, or a woman and her cat, are two creatures of love.

    October 4th is the anniverary of the death of St Francis of Assisi. And on this day, he is remembered by many members of his order by accepting animals into their church to be blessed.

    If you cant find a place in your neighborhood, you can use one of these prayers below to bless your pet yourself 😉 Dont forget, Mambo Sam has blessed her own holy water that you can use with your pet blessing, or also some Samantha's Spiritual Annointing oil would be good as well.

    Also, please feel free to send in a prayer request for your pet to my personal prayer list for pets. Email your request to prayforpets@spellmaker.com

    Love,

    Here are some prayers for all animals:

    Blessed are you, Lord God,
    maker of all living creatures.
    On the fifth and sixth days of creation,
    you called forth fish in the sea,
    birds in the air and animals on the land.
    You inspired St. Francis to call all animals
    his brothers and sisters.
    We ask you to bless this animal.
    By the power of your love,
    enable it to live according to your plan.
    May we always praise you
    for all your beauty in creation.
    Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.

    For a sick animal:

    Heavenly Father,
    you created all things for your glory
    and made us stewards of this creature.
    If it is your will, restore it to health and strength.
    Blessed are you, Lord God,
    and holy is your name for ever and ever. Amen.

  • Happy Fall, Y’all!

    Happy Fall, Everyone! Hope you all get to go out and enjoy the autumn sun and the falling leaves and cider and candy apples and pumpkin picking and all that great stuff that goes along with time of the year 😉

    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.
                         


    Light and Love

  • New Bath Set Up!

    Bath Tub Stars New Bath Design and Set up!

    ….actually, the real news is about the clean up!

    Not that there was anything wrong with the clean up before — it was just a little, um, involved, as our most Beloved Mambo Sam packs these baths chock full of magickal and blessed herbs so that we can get the most benefit possible from the Ritual Baths. The experience is amazing for all the baths (trust me, I have taken at least one of each!) Now, the herbs are packed neat and tidy in a cotton bag. That keeps the herbs from running down your drain and getting in your ears and hair (for those of us with long hair, you know what I mean ) Now, the herbs diffuses their healing and other such magickal properties thru the cotton bag (picture a BIG cotton tea bag right full of aromatic blessed herbs) into the water and you get the benefits of all of these herbs AND a speedy cleanup 😉

    I did take my first bath with the new set up last night, so I can tell you from experience, it was as wonderful as ever (and I got to bed much quicker when I was done)

    For those of you convention bound, you might want to consider doing a Baron’s Purple Bath before your trip, to help you get read for the Big Fet Ghede Festivities that will be occuring! Doing the bath preconference to help celebrate Fet Ghede and The Baron and Maman Brigitte would be a wonderful thing to do and help you get the most out of this fantastic experience. Also, anyone who would just like to do some general cleansing before the convention to help open themselves up more to the blessings and learning that will be bestowed by our awesome Mambo could do a Milk of Damballah White Bath kit before hand 😉 Being cleansed and open to all the new and wonderful things that will be presented to you can only help enhance the experice for you.

    I hope you try out a bath with the new herb set up! You will not be disappointed!

    Much light and love (and see ALOT of you soon!)
