I have an announcement to make!

Greetings blogfriends! I have been gone for a while but i had a pretty good reason. The actual reason was that i was in an introvert mode but i will get back at that. A lot has changed in my life since i was last here. Most of the things i was doing have faced out of my life, i am not kickboxing anymore and i am barely singing. But the change is much deeper than that. Every New Year's Eve i make this set of goals that are near to impossible(or downright there) and i force myself to do them and if i fail to any of them i feel bad. This time i have n't even thought of any resolutions. All my wishes are the same, all my desires begin and end to the same place. I just want to have a healthy and happy baby. Yes, you guessed that right i am pregnant. I just entered my 5th month. I wanted to tell you right away, but there were people in my life i have n't told and i did n't want them to find out too soon. Many do n't know still. We broke the news to most, but we do not broadcast it. But, nontheless this is my place to share and grow and it was time.
We were blessed, because we did n't even try. It was just this one time of unprotected sex on the full moon of September 30th. We have agreed to start trying after December this way i would be able to graduate this year. But that night we were driven by the Moon, entranced even. It was magical. After it happened i went to the crossroads and thanked the Great Mother with a rosemary pentagramm for the blessing She has bestowed upon us and i filled my hair with jasmine. It was very late and i was alone in the streets  just me, my dog and the silence. I came here and wrote a post but i could n't tell everything because i did n't want people in my life to know. Which seems weird but i am very cautious about energies. So, i  wrote and left the most important part out.
 I knew i was pregnant right away. My mom kept telling me for 2 weeks that i am crazy and it does n't happen that easily. I could n't wait to be officially late to take the test and 2 days before my period was supposed to happen i peed on the stick and it was positive. All this time i have been meditating, doing prenatal yoga and taking pregnacare vitamins.
Then i had a complication and i had to stop singing, moving and  generally doing anything that did n't involve a couch. It was scary and combined with the constant morning sickness, i was  pretty miserable. But then finally after a bunch of u/s's the detachment was gone and i could stop taking utrogestan so the nautia was gone and i could do things again. I am still trying to return to normal and do the best job i can to provide a good home for her(we still do n't know the gender but all the women in my family have girls..).
Most of the magical things i have been doing was for protection of my baby. Every full moon, for all the three days of it, i have been leaving the same offering on the same crossroad to the Moon Goddess, thanking Her and asking for Her blessing.
Although, it is the scariest time of my life, i have never been happier and everything has shifted inside me. All the things i used to obsess about, all the things that seemed to matter just ceased to exist in my mind. It seems extreme, but it just happened and i do n't feel bad about it. Maybe i am still in a trance.
Blessed be and love to all.

Prosperity spell - Magical yellow rosepetals

Hi my loves! I baked my pie yesterday and i can proudly say that i have n't eaten all of it! Yeih me! Today i want to share with you guys another spell for prosperity. This is a variation of the magical rosepetals that i have posted about in the past. But for this spell you will need yellow rosepetals, to symbolise wealth and fortune.
Yellow rosepetals are great for money spells. This is because it combines the energies of the roses (luck, love, attraction) and of the yellow colour Sun qualities. You can always powder them and burn them as incense along with mandrake root and cinnamon on your work place to promote good business.
But to make the magical rosepetals you will need a yellow or gold candle, mandrake root powder and candio(red sugar incense that you can substitute with musk incense).  You take the fresh rosepetal and dip it in the melted candle and then sprinkle it with the mandrake and the incense. Form it with your hands so there is plenty of candle and incense per rosepetal  while you think of your goals and put all the intent of the most specific desires you have about your finances.Then let it dry on a silver plate or your cauldron. Charge it on the waxing moon and burn it on a full moon along with your favourite prayer for money.
Be blessed, be loved and be very very lucky!

Prosperity spells part 1 - Apple pie- full Moon

Greetings blogfriens. How are you? The holiday season is upon us and i have started decoraing the house. I brought in a few small (tiny is the word) evergreens from ikea and put them around the house. I am putting lights and glitter on everything and i am still trying to find the perfect items to make a fresh wreath.These days i was constantly baking pies and cookies and then i kept eating them so i decided to stop. I am still in baking mode but i am in a more healthy mood. There is a silver lining there and i am determined to find it. I intend to search the internet to find the best healthy recipe fo cookies. 

With everything going on around us and the mess we call economy here, i constantly feel the need to make my home more welcoming and to make hearty warm meals for our friends and family. The last couple of weeks our house was filled with friends and there is almost all the time someone spending the night in our comfy couch. I want to create a strong sense of hearth and unity. I believe it is very important because anyone who dares to turn on his tv is in a lot of danger for clinical depression in the first few seconds. Because of the grimm situation and the lack of holiday spirit i have decided to make this holiday the best one ever. 

But because we also need good luck more than ever i decided to create a series of my favourity prosperity spells. Today is the apple pie spell. I am not a kitchen witch. But i love this spell because you get to share your good fortune with the people you love by giving them a treat. The point of those kind of spells is that as many people try the food the more positive energy you get in return. 

This is more of an apple cake than a pie, mostly because you mix all the ingredients in a bowl and then you bake them. It is very easy, very yummy and all of the ingredients are innately magickal!

I am not good with measuring stuff becauseit really bores me, so you are going to have to figure out the dosage by yourselves!

The list of ingredients is:

-flour-whole wheat is best- (to represent the harvest)

-eggs(for fertile business)

-apples and apple juice(for prosperity)

-honey(for luck and good fortune)

-raisins(also to represen the harvest)

-cinnamon(for money)

-clover(also for money)

-nutmeg(for good fortune)

-ground walnuts(for divine blessing)

-and olive oil(for money as well)

As you can see there is not one thing in there that we do not usually use in spells. Before you bake it carve with a knife a pentagram on top even if the mix is too watery and immediaty dissapears. This spell is one i always do during the harvests because it correspondes so well with them but you can do it any time you want during the waxing period or on a full moon.

Remember to mix the ingredients  deosil to raise Sun energies and as you do it visualise yourself wealthy, happy, and healthy. As you share the cake with your friends and family you bring good luck in their lives and yours multiplies. Just do n't forget to eat a piece as well.

It would be great to bake this today because it is the night of the full moon and a very powerful one indeed because it is also a lunar eclipse. It is one of those great times that the Sun energies and the Moon energies connect in unique ways. Just be careful for minor accidents because there can be such a thing as too much energy in the air!

Cleansing and protecting

Greetings blogfriends. It has been a while. I missed writing here a lot but it was one of those times that i did n't feel like i could write at all. Although...i have been lurking at your blogs(a lot!) either silently or not so silently. This Samhein was wonderful, we celebrated it with family with fortune telling, making smudges and  lots of good food. I can't believe such a major holiday passed and i didn't blog about it. Such a shame! But when you are in a writing funk there is nothing that can help.
The weather in Athens is still warm. That is about to change, but i can still enjoy the warm Sun. We did n't have much rain but we are going to and the first water of the Fall is always great for cleansing your home's energy. So, i am going to save some and put it in a sprayer with rosemary essential oil. Then i am going to go around the house and spray it all over walls, curtains,plants and furniture. This will keep the negativity at bay.
Now that the winter is coming i have more the need to cast cleansing  and protection spells. This is because we stay more in the house, with lots of people coming over, we do not open the windows as much and there are a lot of stagnant energies. I have to work on the energy of the house much more than i used to in the Summer months. Crystalls should be charged and placed strategically on various spots, plants should be cared for so they can bring more positivity, charms should be worn by family and pets, talismans should be placed at doors and a new wreath shold be made for the front door. So much to be done and in such a little time and in a little while the preparations for the Solstice will have to begin.
Thank Goddess i love doing all the things need to be done(except for the unmentioned spring cleaning which i hate).
Do you feel a more intense need for cleansing and protection this time of the year?

Saturn in Scorpio, my oh my!

Greetings blogfriends. How are you my lovelies? I was just snacking on a slice of bread with some cottage cheese and two very greedy souls(my dog and one of my cats) worked together to give me the saddest, most hungry looks you 've ever seen, and there goes my snack. Now i am hungry and pissed, because they had already eaten more than their share for the day, and yet my snack ended in their bellies! Well, of course it is also my fault for being such a push over!
Today is the day that Saturn starts its journey in Scorpio. For most that does n't mean much but since me and hubby are 28 years old (today is Petros's birthday),  it is time for the dreadful return. This means that it returns to the same point it was when we were born and means that some valuable lessons are to be learned. Whether it is with the easy or the hard way it is mostly up to us.
That being told Saturn in Scorpio is a hard one for all of us indeed. It makes us face our own mortality and it greately emphasises the cycle of  life, death and rebirth, in the spiritual or even in the physical way. This time we will also focus on our sexuality, our sexual identity and we have to really be careful for everything that has to do with sexual transmitted diseases. But at least the relationships in our life can breath again. Now that Scorpio has left Libra means that the relationships, especially the romantic ones, that survived are here to stay!
But, although Saturn in Scorpio may have a lot of uglies(!!!)  it also brings forth a lot of interest and fascination by the occult. Everything supernatural has a little bit more oomph to it. People born under this particular influence are very intuitive and very gifted in every metaphysical sense! Which means that some very lucky kids are about to be born and also that i am very awesome lol!
So, hold tight and prepare for the ride.
Be blessed, be loved and be very, very sexy!

Full moon offerings and crossroad magic

Hello blogfriengs. How are you? I am just relaxing from all the full moon craze. Every month during that phase of the Moon i get this charge of energy that makes it really hard for me to sleep. I can't keep still and i want to have sex all the time! Too much information? Sorry about that! The good thing is that by the time the waning begins my house is at its cleanest, my plants are well cared for and my pets are happy from all the attention, grooming and different treats they get to eat. As i mentioned earlier my husband can't complain either.
This full moon did not involve an elaborate ritual. Everything was about giving thanks to the Goddess, since this was the first full moon after Mabon. So, while i was walking my dog at night i took five branches of rosemary and made a pentagram. I placed it in a beautiful crossroad  near by that is surrounded by eucalyptus and poplar trees as an offering to the Goddess and asked for protection and love. Then, i put in the middle of it, a jasmine flower that i took from my hair(while walking i found a jasmine plant and ...one thing led to another...and i played fairy princess again!).
Don't you love crossroads at night? Whenever i step into one i feel peaceful and powerful at the same time. This is why i use crossroad's dirt so often. Crossroad 's dirt is used for grounding, decision making, path blessings, summoning of ancestors, love bindings, and even elemental summonings. This is because of their attribute of not belonging to a specific road yet being part of many. They are also sacred to the Moon Goddess so they are perfect for full moon offerings, hence the pentagram.
Whenever i need to know something important about the future and the usual divinational methods are not enough, i go to a three roads crossroad near my summer house, where noone ever comes(it is a dirt road, that is only used from farmers) and i meditate right in the middle and spread my cards right there, on the dirt. It has never failed me. If i could find a spot like that here in the city, i think i would never leave.
Three path crossroads were sacred to Hekate and they symbolise past, present and future as well as her Maiden, Mother and Crone aspects.So, whenever you find one that is quiet, get your butt down there and ask every question about your future that comes to mind. Take full advantage!
So, what did you do this full moon? Did you celebrate? Did you cast any spell?
Be blessed, be loved and be powerful!
Georgina.

Blessed Equinox!

Happy Mabon! May this day bring you balance, joy and love!  For those of you that celebrate Ostara enjoy the Spring and talk to the fairies. For those of you on the nothern hemisphere i wish you a great and blissful harvest. Drink a glass of wine and eat grapes and pomegranades. Give offerings to the Goddess for all she has given you and be thankful in your hearts for all that matters in your lives.
I am thankful for my husband.
I am thankful for the rest of my family(relatives, and animals included!).
I am thankful for my work and my singing.
I am thankful for our home.
I am thankful for my friends.

Blessed be!
