Personal Shadows

I find it interesting how this recent election has brought a lot of different emotions & mental contemplations about for the upcoming period of life. Considering how technology is advanced as it is..... and yet there are problems.....

Perhaps, this is also, an active way that the Lady & Lord says alright...... you think you got things in order? Guess what? Just like we hit the "Preview" button on a E-list to see how what we keyed in is going to look like, before sending, it makes us think about is that what we really meant to say?

Blessed Be

Potpourri

Recently, while working on the house, getting it ready for the market...... I found an interesting way for painting that helps with, yes, Clean Up!      Before you pour your paint into your tray... try placing one of those plastic bags you get at the store around your tray.... with the plain side up in the bottom of your tray..... the printed side will be covering the bottom of your tray... amazingly it does help with, yes, Clean Up!      The previous is a tidbit compliments of HGTV (smile).... hehehehe.... have fun........

Lady & Lord Bless

*Blessed Be*

"Our Lady's Faces"
October 5, 2000.	Waxing Moon Our Lady will be in her second phase, she's waxing. She is building energy and focusing it for whatever needs arise. Her name at this time is "Diana," and many others according to culture.
October 13, 2000	Full Moon: Our Lady will be in her third phase, totally full. This is the height of her being and fulfillment of all, as the great mother is about to give birth. Her name is "Selene," and many others according to culture.
October 20, 2000	Waning Moon: Our Lady will be in her fourth phase, she's waning. Now is the time for breaking down, destruction, doing away with what does not work for healing, and the wisdom for seeing this appears. This is the time of the Dark Mother, Crone, Grandmother, as she does not need light to see into the depths of being. She gives us a choice to see or not to see. The question is "Are we willing to see what is there?" Her name is "Hecate," and many others according to culture.
October 27, 2000	New Moon: Our Lady will be in her first phase, she's beginning anew. Her name at this time is "Green Hecate," and many others according to culture.

Samhain, All Hallow's Eve, Halloween

Yes, it's that time of year again when the New Year (Celtic Calendar) begins and still yet for some Cultures this marks the beginning of Winter, with of course the high point being at Yule.......      At this time the Veil between the worlds are thin and once again we are able to commune with loved ones and friends that have crossed over, it is also a time when we remember those who have crossed over within the past year.      This holiday also marks the Spiritual Harvest of the Wheel of the Year, the Spiritual harvest of Wisdom & Healing and of Releasing.      This holiday can also be viewed as a cleansing holiday, in that we let go of things of a Spiritual nature that no longer serves us in a Healing manner or fashion.      To all we bid a Happy New Year and to others still, a Happy First Day of Winter.

Lady & Lord Bless Blessed Be

At this Family Samhain gathering At Dragon Hills the New Moon will be in Scorpio:

This fixed, feminine water sign is co-ruled by Mars and Pluto, so the Moon doesn't mess around. She's all dressed up in her formal black, looking so good she knows you can't take your eyes off of her. Scorpio is the most intense sign out there, and when the Moon is here, she feels everything to the absolute nth degree--everything. Needless to say, we do too. Passion, joy, jealousy, betrayal, love and desire all take center stage in our lives now, as all our emotions deepen to the point of possible obsession.

Be careful of a tendency to become secretive, suspicious, or to brood or "stew" over an offense that was not intended. Now is a great time to play detective, investigate a mystery, do research "dig"--both figuratively and literally--and allow ourselves to become intimate with someone.

*Blessed Be*

At this Elders' gathering Held near Knoxville, TN The Waning Moon will be in Leo:

When the Moon is in Leo, it's time for Drama, with the capital "D". This theatrical sign has long been known for it's big entrances, love of display, and need for attention. Leo is ruled by the Sun, the center of the Universe, the creative force, so when the Moon is in this sign, we're all feeling a need to be recognized, applauded, and appreciated. After all, this is the Moon in her royal robes, feeling as if some one ought to stop, bow, and ask her which country she's queen of.

Now, all that excitement, pride, and emotion can turn into histrionics and melodrama in the blink of an eye, so it's best to be careful of overreacting or being excessively vain during this period. It's a great time to take in a show (or star in one), be romantic, or express your feelings for someone in royal regal style.

*Blessed Be*
