Went to the hospital today

I went to the hospital today :(
 
I pulled something in my back on Friday, and am still having trouble walking and moving today so I couldn't put it off anymore. They seem to have prescribed me a bit of everything. I hate taking pills. I always worry what putting that crap in my body will do in the long run.

Honoring your ancestors

Today is a magickal day for honoring your ancestors. A good day to research your family tree, or perhaps just make a scrapbook for future generations. Think of where you came from, and where you would like to go. Thank those that came before you for setting the stage for the world you live in now and the life you have.
 
Blessings!

Mercury Retrograde

MERCURY RETROGRADE begins today *blech* ends October 14th. This will affect thinking, perception, communication, legal issues, commerce, education, and transportation. Marriages already on the rocks will need to try extra hard during this time as they may have an even harder time understanding each other than normal.
 
It usually is not a good time to begin new projects, but can be a great time to complete them, to consider alternatives, and the like. Focus on maintaining, meditation, and brainstorming for the future.
 
Above all, be prepared for the misunderstandings on the way. Be open, gentle and understanding in such cases to help relationships of all types run more smoothly during this period.

Full Moon, Wishing Moon, Harvest Moon

Today is extra extra special! At 5:14am EDT 9/15 it is the official full moon! This full moon is also a wishing and a harvest moon!
 
From Wikipedia: "The Harvest moon is a legend in Norse mythology, it is said to be the most powerful of the Moons granting Loki's blessing for a strong harvest and plenty....... The Harvest Moon is also known as the Wine Moon, the Singing Moon and the Elk Call Moon."
 
From last years Season of the The Witch: "Harvest Moon is a wishing moon. Assess your symbolic harvest, make plans for the seeds you will as plant as you move toward the season of darkness."
 
 
A wishing moon is a good time to be making lists of wishes, hopes, and aspirations, which over time will come to fruition. It is a variation on cosmic ordering. Add a single drop of sandalwood, jasmine or willow oil to your wishing moon wish list as this will augment and align your intentions with the right mental, emotional and psycho-spiritual state.

Ideally, wrap your list around a moonstone and bury it until the next full moon. If you don't have a garden you can bury it in a flower pot or window box - burying in earth is best if you can. If you don't have a place to bury it, any other sacred place you keep things, such a secret hideaway, chest of personal items - some people have special boxes or altars or jars. Any of these will do as long as it is a sacred and special place to you.

As you place the list and stone you should say a few words to seal your intent for the things you wish for to manifest. You can pray to whatever being, deity, or universal principle you believe exists. Make sure you take the previous wishes from the special place before repeating this at the next Wishing moon, especially if they have come true!

 

So now I have to figure out whether I am going to set the alarm for 2:14am PT, or just stay up for it LOL :)

 

Happy wishing!

Power day for feminine, maternal, domestic issues

The moon was VOC early this morning and is in Libra now, so there aren't any "no casting" times for the rest of the day.
