The power of thoughtforms and a black and white ritual

Greetings friends in all the blogland. I am sure you are all living in hectic mode doing chores, planning gatherings, or trips. I am in a similar mode while trying to prepare in a spiritual manner for the Solctice. Yule is just around the corner and since it is the time to acknowledge, accept and finally fight the darkness within i was thinking the power every thoughtform carries, especially the ones that are tied with strong emotions. Those change and form our realities.
Shadowy thoughtforms do not just hold us back in our lives psychologically. If they are powerful enough they can create themselves out of thin air. Like people that no matter how much they weight, or how much money or friends they have, they feel fat, poor or alone. Those people tend to become fat, poor or alone. I was one of them. I had a bad body image and then my fear became reality. I gained weight. When i rediscovered the well hidden shadows i begun losing weight again. This was a powerful lesson for me. To accept myself completely in my case meant to forgive certain people and to let go of anger i no longer thought i felt. When memories haunt us we need to find the strenth to relive them from a different angle. The only way to let go is indeed to forgive. The process although freeing can be painful. Noone enjoys being vulnerable, but a strange power is hidden in this vulnerability.
But it is not enough. In order to create the reality we want, releasing negative thoughtforms although necessary is not enough. We have to accept the positive as well. Exchange the bad with the good. Visualise the things we want. This powerful combination can really bring harmony and balance.
If you want to let go of any shadowy thoughts, you can assist yourself in this process by burning over a black candle a piece of paper with your fear or bad memory written on it and another piece of paper with your hope or desire over a white candle. You can burn an incense of myrr,frankicense, lavender and rosemary that are cleansing and a combination of other herbs that will correspond with your ultimate goal. Do it while centered, grounded, and concentrated. You can do it with other people too...
Remember to affirm yourselves daily. Love and soar.
I wish you all a blessed Yule.
Georgina.

A powerful day is approaching

Greetings blogfriends.
I missed you. Everyday life got the better of me. Here in Greece we had an amazing weather throughout the Fall. Great for enjoying lond walks, coffee on the balcony in the afternoon and tea later in the day. But it seems that Mother Earth remembered Yule is on its way and there is a sudden change. The temperature dropped really fast and we were all reminded of the things we should do before Yule. Decorate, invite people, prepare meals, buy or make gifts and last but not least prepare spiritually for those days. The winter is fast approaching, the Wheel is about to turn once again and this is our reason to celebrate.
Did you know that the full moon falls on December 21 and a total lunar eclipse will take place on the same day? It is going to be a powerful day indeed...

Blessed full moon.

It is invigorating. Have you looked at Her yet? Tonight i am grateful that i am able to meet, communicate and help people through my job. Tonight i am thankful that i can be Her daughter and feel Her guidance and protection. Tonight i am glad that i have a life full of people who love me and that i love. Tonight i am happy for being a witch.
Tonight is a wonderful time to be a witch. It is a time for witches to dance and celebrate. To draw down the Moon and glow in Her glory. To control their energy so that they can heal themselves and others. To protect and be protected. To gain the things we need. To achieve our goals.
I am wishing you all a Happy Esbat and a beautiful night.
Georgina

New moon.

A beautiful night awaits us blogfriends. Tonight we will celebrate the new moon. A perfect opportunity to connect with our Mother. A time to blow two kisses to the Moon so She can bring us good luck. A time to heal and grow.
We should take this opportunity to come in touch with our darkest aspects, acknowledge them and heal. We can get rid of bad thoughts, feelings, habits and energies. We burn black candles to do that, but since it is Moon magic we also burn silver, white and grey ones. It can be something as simple as my goal(to eliminate the usage of aspartame, i eat massive amounts of that horrible thing) or as complicated as depression. We acknowledge the thing that bothers us and take the power from our Mother to get rid of it. We can burn herbs associated with Moon(jasmine,willow,eucalyptus, ivy, lemon balm, poppy, myrrh,mugwort) or bath in them, since Moon rules the Waters. We can also use them to make sachets.
I, myself, no longer need aspartame in my life. The last time i tried to do that i have put my hopes up for stevia. When i took home this really expensive natural sweetener i found out it has a horrible taste that urges you to scrub your mouth with soap and chlorine! I gave up too easy. But today i was ready to try again. So in my coffee i put half a teaspoon of sugar. It was bitter at first but now i am starting to get used to it. I am also ready to use other natural sweeteners as agave nectar. I can not get it completely out of my life, since they put that thing in everything(even my vitamin C supplements have aspartame) but i will not use it in cooking, coffee and of course i won't drink the litres per day of diet coke i used to drink. A while ago this felt like such a huge step. But this powerful new moon made it easy for me. Let Her make your goals easy as well.
I will keep you update with my progress. I am wishing good luck to all of you. Have a happy new moon.
Brightest blessings,
Georgina.

Lets make happier streets...

Greetings blogfriends. In the past i have spoken about the Law of Attraction. Whatever you might call it, we all try to stay positive even in the most difficult or disturbing of situations. We try to get rid of the negativity and exchange all bad thoughts with new good ones. And although sometimes we do not succeed the whole effort is rewarding for both our mental and physical health.
So, we try to remain calm, happy, forgiving etc. and in the meanwhile a bad driver on the street almost kills us and all our calm, happy, forgiving thoughts go out of the window. We swear, we give him the finger, and generally we feel bad feelings and think bad thoughts. This happened to me today( i am sure i am not the only one) all accidents were avoided so i would normally forget all about it before i got home. But when this happened to me, while i put my eyebrows together trying to be creative on my namecalling, i exhaled and said:"Be careful and good luck". It made feel so wonderful. So, naturally, i took the decision to always do that. I considered the fact that someone could call me names on the street. Well, in that case, i thought i would say it outloud and let him think i am certifible. I do not know in your country how this goes, but in Greece, even the people who are at fault swear on the street. It is a crazy world and i intend to make it even crazier.
I ask of you to follow me on this path of madness to wish luck to those that scare us while we are driving. A small change that could possibly brighten up our days. I can not yet take it to the next step and do it everywhere with everybody. I am not the "turn the other cheek" kind of gal. How about you? Do you have any small tips to use the Law of Attraction in our favors?
love and light to all of you,
Georgina.

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.
