Friday the Thirteenth

I've seen it, everyone seems to be asking about it... Does Friday's full moon have an effect on Friday the Thirteenth? Or vice versa?

Most witches I know, say "no" the thirteenth falling on a Friday has no effect on the moon, and same of the moon having an effect on Friday. It's just another day...

For me, Friday the Thirteenth is always a good day. Maybe a little hectic, but that's my life. Always running, or doing something for someone. I don't usually get time to relax, and when I do, I'm asleep. Friday the thirteenth has always been the opposite of what it's "supposed" to mean for me. I have a black cat, so if she crosses my path? She either wants attention, or she's hungry.  No bad luck there. If I broke a mirror? I'm clumsy, not going to have seven years bad luck... I just don't agree to all those superstitions everyone is afraid of. Sure, I won't walk under a latter, but that's because I don't want to trip or hit my head, not for the bad luck thing.

The Full Moon, is the same magical Full Moon in June. I don't know what the special meaning is right now, but I'm sure an offering to the Goddess would be a good idea. Just like every full moon.

Beltane, Slightly past due

Blessings Everyone, I know, I haven't wrote in a while, things have gotten a little crazy with the normal life.

I wanted to give a short update, and tell you what I've been up to.

First, Beltane! May first was a Thursday, I had planned to do some ritual outside, but for whatever reason, I didn't get to. I did however, work out in the garden both weekends that surrounded Beltane, and planted grass seed with an offering for the Goddess.  I lit a candle and did some chanting at home, by myself after everyone had gone to bed.

Next, Family stuff. I've been playing a ton with my almost three year old outside in the nice weather, and we've been working on fixing up the old house. The older two kids have baseball and softball, and I've been trying to get out more with my camera.

I've been writing in a notebook and trying to read this book called "the Artist way" by Julia Cameron. I've been trying to set my goals and plan my path to reach those goals.

Now that we've got longer days, and warmer weather, I've been spending less time on my computer, and more outside.

My daughter will be turning thirteen soon, the big One Three! Eeep! That number has special meaning for a few reasons. I'm Wiccan, she's going to be a Teenager now, my thirteenth birthday stunk, and a family tradition passed down on my mothers side, from mother to daughter (or rather grandmother down) is the older woman gives a charm bracelet to the young girl with charms that represent pieces of her life. My grandmother gave me a charm bracelet that had a dalmatian, a clown, a cat, and a bunch of other things that were special to me. Now that my daughter's birthday is coming, I have to figure out if my mother is going to keep with that tradition... or, do I need to go find the charms that were lost 12 years ago when I got divorced and my ex sold the bracelet and charms I had for her for this year... I planned on getting a charm a year, and one for each big event in her life, unfortunately, getting married too young, and leaving an abusive person, means you give up a lot of things.

With

Love and Light

Merry we meet, merry we part, merry we meet again.

Blessed Be
