LookingOverThePast

Today I found myself looking over old c.d.s at things I've made in years past. And I suddenly began to see a funny pattern. Magick! Many years before I even had the realization that I am a magickal person. Which was not until 2011. All the years before I had been dabbling in it without realizing it. Just because I was collecting graphics that I liked. I've been surrounded by witches, pagans, and magickal people the whole time and did not even see it.

Just because someone's name was Rhiannon, Isis, Selene, Raven, Sicara. I did not associate them as being dark, evil, or scarey. I was completely comfortable with those names. I think they are beautiful. It could be their real name or made up. But I never once associated their names with magickal arts, wicca, witch, paganism, eclectic, and the plethora of other magickal names associated with magick or spirituality.

As I look through my past signature tags, the kinds of graphics I was ordering - that I was attracted to. And the people's names who were making them. I am surprised that I've been doing that for many more years than what I have actually been admiting to being magickal. Many more years than I've actually been learning about paganism, celtic, welsh, egyptian, and norse gods and goddesses. For many more years than I've been celebrating the turning of the wheel, the changing of the seasons.

I did not even know paganism was still alive until just 3 years ago!

I thought it was an ancient way of living so far gone that no body today was even aware it had ever existed. I longed for it though. I could see myself having lived in those days.

Lets look at some of the things I've collected over the years. BEFORE I realized who and what I am. *lol*

Martima Heavenly 2008

 

 this little triple moon I find particularly interesting. The year was 2008 That is still 2 years before I picked up a book on wicca, paganism, witchcraft, gods and goddesses, magickal nature. Two years before I had ever done any searches online. 2 years before I found out paganism was still alive.... Okay I won't go on and on but. See my point! *giggles*

Some of these particular signature tags I made, some I drew...

 

 this silly lil cutie is my own dabbling *lol*

 

one of my more favorite pixels I've drawn & colored

 I couldn't resist making this one. It reminded of an
Edgar Allen Poe kind of time...

Lets take a look at the kinds of signature tags I was ordering for others now ---

 This is from a website that was around called Cassiopeia! She had all the best signatures. All the unicorns, goddesses, castles, dragons!

 Baubbles n' Broomsticks - can't get much more witchy and magickal than that

 a beautiful sigtag with a renaissance looking dress by Dees Deesignz.

FirstDay-DayShift

What a wonderful autumn day to start my first day of my day shift on - November 12th! I've always liked the number 12. I do not know why. *giggles*
Today was such a nice and magickal day! I burned butterfly incense for change and transformation and good luck. From my butterfly honey pot I got bought from White Magick Alchemy. *Whispers -- my favorite shop*

To start off todays adventure I forgot that in the morning there will be frost on my windows! DUH! I'm use to going to work in the middle of the afternoon...
I was in a great mood all day long. Thinking of the wonderful butterfly resin I had burned in the morning to bring me good luck all day long. I learned new things today at work. In less than a year in and I've made it from night shift, two months later to evenings. And now just 9 months in, day shift! Excited to start my life back up. My magickal life! My family life! My married life!

Over the past several months of going back into a nursing home setting to work, I have missed out on a lot. My grand kid's sports over the summer. My grandson Dante played football for the first time this year! And Evey continued with track. It felt like life and my family was just passing me by. I've missed holiday and other family get togethers. I've missed out on going to movies w/ my husband because I don't get many weekends off. Maybe a weekend, or part of a weekend every 2 months. :'(

I've missed Sabbats, I've missed candle and other magickal crafting. And being involved in my craft. I was so in tune, so at peace, so happy. My house was clean. I could hold a ritual at any time of the day or night.  But then the bills come due and one has to get a job again that pay the bills...

SomethingKindaWonderful

I have noticed something wonderful happening with one of my bamboo plants. It has suddenly shot up tremendously. All of a sudden it has grown a great deal. What have I done different? I was rearranging some plants in my living room. (taking them off the pellet stove that I of course do not use in the summer)

I placed it on my Passion Parties desk. This is where I make my samples, prizes, keep my orders... Then there is this connection that I realized too. Suddenly I've been getting orders at work left and right! What have I done different in my life?

Well, I have been doing a lot of visualization while burning incense. I visualize on my way to work, when I'm just sitting alone at home, at work...

I'm not going to say exactly what I am visualizing, as I believe that will take the power of it away. I bet you can figure it out though *giggles*

And coincidentally the bamboo plant is a 'good luck' plant. See all the connections happening!

I have no idea what made me set that plant on my desk. It's a very very small desk. It's actually a little kitchen table nook with 2 stools that store under the table. Somehow it got converted into my Passion Parties work space. *lol*

Mabon2013

                 My 2013 Mabon Altar

A witches hat worry stone represents the Goddess area of my altar. Three stones in the center to represent the autumn equinox- garnet(red/purple), carnelian (orange/red), and a moonstone. My incense cauldron burns guilded pear autumn incense & myrrh resin, representing the God altar area. The main area is decorated with the Mabon candle from www.whitemagickalchemy.com with all the wonderful scents of the autumn season! A few seasonal fruits & vegetables to give thanks to the Lord & Lady for the gifts of this bountiful season - pomegranate, squashes, & an avacado. Along with silk flowers of purple & yellow, dried pumpkin seeds & cloves. 

Wish there were such a thing as smell-o-vision!

I did some small things today to help celebrate this sabbat, but they felt great big in my heart.

Before I had to go to work, I did a mini-ritual where I made a blessing leaf for the 1st time. I thought about what I wanted for the day, how I wanted to feel. And wrote it (one word) on a bay leaf, then burned it. My word of the day was peace. Guess what kind of day I had at the nursing home? Yes!! Yes I did.

Then at work all day I kept wishing the residents a 'happy 1st day of fall'

Afterall, I cant very well go around saying Mabon blessings to everyone in a small western town predominately jehovahs witness & morman lol!

FeelingSad

Do you ever feel sad, and pushed down by your job? Because regular jobs pretty much focus on pointing out that you are doing wrong - no matter what your doing. Do you ever feel like your not doing what your meant to be doing...

LessonsLearned-GrowthAchieved

I have been debating whether to write about my situation yesterday or not. I arrived at the decision that I always feel better after writing.

There is a sick person on facebook seeking out Passion Parties consultants on the Passion Parties fb page. On the premise that he is looking for help and then sends pictures of his penis, and talks perverted. But is very apologetic about the pictures. And its not clear immediately that he is being perverted. We are in the business of helping people. And are good hearted people. And it is very offensive to be treated like we are sexual deviants or prostitutes! Just because we sell sexual products does not make us one particular kind of person. We are Diverse! We are Inspiring! We are Vibrant! We are Accomplished! We are DIVA's!

I've gone through a huge range of emotions. It is so sad and pathetic that in this day and age with all the things that there are to do online and offline in our lives that people still choose to harass people as an activity!

I don't know that much can be done from facebook. I did report him. But he doesn't contact us through facebook messenger. He texts our phones.

Never again will I be so anxious for a sale and to be successful that I will not listen to my warning bells going off. And I'm going to read a book that my sponsor suggested a long time ago for me. It's about listening to those alarms your body is sending you. This has really effected me and bothered me in a big big way. So I will probably do a banishing ritual, clearing negativity ritual of some sort.

Because if Passion Parties ended today for whatever reason I am proud of the success that I have already had  in the business! I am proud that I have not given up. I am proud that I got to go to convention my very 1st year in thanks to my parents & my sister. I'm proud of the connections I've made, the people I've met, the personal growth I've had. I'm proud of all of it. I will one day have a successful team and be a successful executive director in passion parties one day! So this situation will not destroy me. It makes me wiser. Reminds me that even though I live in a small quiet western town, there are still perverts out there that are apparently very bored and not very smart. *lol*

BecomingThePersonYouWantToBe

Today it occurred to me that I AM becoming the person I used to dream of being. The person I wanted to be a long time ago. The person I used to wish I was. Then I stopped wishing, and started working on becoming the person I want to be. In magick you don't just wish and poof something happens. Thats hollywood magic, stage magic. Which is not real. But a trick. In spiritual magick. You work towards your goal to manifest it. I used to think, I could never be one of those straight girls. In my mind you were someone that I was. Party girl, or one of the very very religious women that wear dresses and those bonnets. But there is another alternative. ME! Clean me! Earthy me! Me Me Me! alcohol free, drug free (recreational/illegal and prescription). Clean eating me. No pop, or soda. *giggles* depending on where you live you may call it soda, you may call it pop... No fried foods. Well I've definately decreased my fried foods. Still working on the french fry connection. I do not eat any breaded food, pasta, cookies, breads, cakes, brownies, donuts or the like.

Funny that I have also manifested myself into a gluten-free diet. I am gluten intolerant. I had really really wanted to be on a paleo lifestyle. So its actually kind of funny that through my health i'm making my way there. I'd say gluten-free is a huge step in the right direction. Even if forced into it...I've often thought, maybe thats the only way I could become gluten-free.

I never thought a day would arrive that I am comfortable in my own skin. Comfortable being myself, and letting others see that self. But I do see light at the end of the tunnel. I am a happy pagan!

Summer solstice 2013

Mystical summer solstice blessings!! On this day i am showing gratitude for the sun & the solar deities

. 

Summer solstice is the longest day if our calendar year. Our Sun shines brightest and strongest on this day. There is actually more daylight today than darkness. After today the days will slowly shorten. The harvest season will soon be upon us, with the dark part of the year bear...

Mid-Summers Eve / litha is a good time to attract faeries to your garden or magickal space. Litha is celebrated June 19 - 22. Decorate your altar in vibrant blues and bright yellows. Call upon the sun deities and fae folk to bless and enchant your path with fortune, good luck, prosperity, & abundant crops for your fall harvest...

KeepUpThePositive

Originally this post was going to be a bit of a rant because I was sitting here thinking about my job & began to cry. But then something else happened. I got a card in the mail today from my spiritual sister Renee Avard. The things she hand wrote in that note are vital, special and powerful. And I know she meant them and did not just write down some random words on a piece of paper w/out any intent behind them at all. So I began to think, why not turn these sad feelings into positive ones.

Who cares if some people who work in offices think incorrect things about me. They don't really know me. My family knows me. My friends know me. I know me. The Universe knows me.


Everything happens for a reason. Maybe I'm suppose to move on and its okay, and it is the right time to move on. I've been a C.N.A. for 7 years. I've learned, I've experienced, I've endured. There is now an opening for C.N.A.'s at an emergency room / clinic. And they will assist us in becoming M.A.'s if you like. Which I think that I would like to learn something new, advance in my career. But not in the direction of becoming a nurse.

I'm so tired of breaking my back lifting residents that won't help. The administration's answer to all the residents doing what she needs them to do is to 'just flirt with them'. And that is from the mouth of our D.O.N. wow! That is outside the scope of my practice for my job. If a resident can not stand they should be using a lift. But I get punched in the cheek bone for doing that & then almost fired because I had a natural reaction to scream out god dammit. hmmm... odd behavior on my part. I know... Especially since I've already been suffering with neuralgia on that whole side of my face and head for the last 5 years from shingles. My trigemenal nerve is effected.  And people just do not understand that nerve damage does not mean its broken & has less pain. It means that it is ultra sensitive and has waaaaay more pain.

What I really really want for myself - 

is to be a successful Passion Parties Independent Consultant. I haven't yet been able to be successful with it in the small community that I live in. Not to say that I won't ever be. I'm not giving up yet.

So back to the title of my post - Keep Up The Positive. Just because I feel sad for a moment. Does not mean I have to STAY in that moment. :) 

I can change it. I can use meditation, goddess prayer, rituals to bring about positive change in my own life for myself, visualization... I have many many tools of the universe at my side. 

I am a daughter of Isis. Isis taught women to weave, and other tools, to be strong, she listened to all of their prayers no matter their status in this life. To Isis we are all worthy.

 No matter who you are, where you are in your life; always go forward. Be proud of yourself. If you do not feel that way. What can you do to change it? I would luv to hear from you & meet you on your pathway. (((Blessed Be))))

I am a witch
I am at one with the Earth, the Universe, and the Divine
I walk my path in peace
free from strife and fear
I always allow love and joy to come near
So mote it be
Blessed Be )O(

I am a many faceted person. I am empathic & proud of it & embrace it & understand it. Stop by some of my other online homes to know the other dimensions of me too. I am a passion parties consultant.
