Halloween minus the candy and the costumes(not that those are not fun!)...

All Hallows Eve is approaching and with the passing of the days the veil is getting thinner and thinner. This is a time we remember and honour our loved ones that passed. We think about the limitations of our physical selves and we try to give our lives more grace and balance.
I do not know if we will meet them again in Summerland. But deep inside my heart i believe that even if we will not, we will join them as parts of the Whole when we will return to our Mother. And even if we will not come back reincarnated as human beings into new bodies at a new time, we will indeed return to the cosmos as light, or air, guiding spirits or trees, Gods or Goddesses.
On the night of October 31th we will burn candles in front of pictures of the deceased family and friends. Some of us will burn insence and try to communicate with them. Some of us might even use the opportunity to see what is about to come into our lives and ask for guidance. We might have elaborate rituals or drink a glass of wine in honour of those we lost. We might celebrate this powerful day or not. Some of us will consider the passing of the days, the turning of the Wheel, the spirals our lives and souls make. And some of us will get lost in the hectic rhythms of everyday life and we will not think of all those things. However, whatever we do the veil will be thin. The magic will flow around us. We will be visited in our dreams by all sorts of spirits.
I wish all of you to have a magical Halloween. Blessed be the memory of those you lost.
Georgina.

A simple ritual i love.

Greetings blogfriends. How have you been doing? I have been in a hectic mode for quite some time because of an exam i had to take today and i really can not believe it is over. Yeih! Finally.
Did you enjoy the full moon? She was beautiful, was n't She? I took the opportunity to cast a prosperity spell because with all that studying i really needed one. I used a beautiful herbal blend of rosemary, sunflower petals, mandrake root, sandalwood and patsouli essential oil. You might have noticed that some of the ingredients are usually used for sexual attraction(sandalwood and patsouli) but i wanted to also attract clients. If your goal is a bigger clientele you should definitely try a combination like this. It was divine.
I did a ritual i love and i realised i have n't mentioned it here already. I used four candles one for East, one for South, one for West and one for North. They also represent the four of the five elements. Underneath each candle i put a piece of paper with the spell. When i was ready, after i have cast the circle, invited the Goddess in it and meditated i burned each paper over the candle it was placed under. Then i burned on a charcoal the mixture while saying the spell over and over.
Then i thanked the Goddess and the elements and i was done. I paid attention to the colours of the candles to match the elements and the Quarters they represent and i wrote the spell in gold to match my intent.
I love this ritual. I do it since highschool and it still feels great. Sometimes for money, sometimes for healing, or luck, sometimes for cleansing. It always makes me click.
Do you have any favourite rituals, that make you click?
Brightest blessings,
Georgina.

The Goddess is watching over me.

Merry meet fellow bloggers. How are you? I am in a both weird and wonderful place right now. You see on Friday night at about 2 am, while me and P. were watching "two and a half men" in our bedroom and eating grilled cheese, we heard Phoebe -our dog- barking in a strange way. We were alarmed and then panicked as we heard our front door closing. Petros went out making loud noises while i called police and i simultaneously grabbed an empty handbag(my weapon of choice) on my way to follow him. We checked the house and nobody was there but our door latch was descrewed. We soon realised that a few handbags i had laying on a chair, were gone. They had nothing in them(thank Goddess!). But the fact was that someone broke into our house while we were inside, fully awake, watching tv loudly, with the lights on(not so ecofriendly of us) and while our dog was barking at him. That scared the crap out of me. Do n't burglars have any criteria whatsoever? It is ridiculous.
Anyway, when the sensation of panic settled down and my heart rate went back to normal,i inevitably begun thinking. As soon as the feelings sinked in, i realised that in the moment of my greatest insecurity, i was feeling safe. Safe about my path and my place in the world. The Goddess was looking over me. So, finances, carriers and life in general, are going to sort themselves out. They have to. My path now looks clear and spiritual. There is no need for me to stress out about the superficial things i usually do. Tonight, me and P. took Phoebe for a long walk and we were able to enjoy it to its fullest. I once again kept talking to him about how much i love the orange street lights(they make everything look like it came out of a fairytale, do n't they?) and the musical games the wind plays with the tree leaves. We were just a couple in love, living in the moment. I had that, because i felt safe.
That being said, i still act as if electrocuted when i hear sounds coming from the living room area, i have cast a bunch of protection spells and i want to buy a bb gun. But security issues aside, it was an illuminating experience. One that i never want to relive.
Brightest blessings to everyone, even to my burglar. I wish him to find peace despite the fact that i believe he kicked my dog and i hope he will find a way to live without hurting others. I hope we will all find a way to do that.
Georgina.
