The sun is setting and night is on it's way....come o'er my sisters for a practical magic kind of day

Walk through the garden gate

And knock on the door...

Feel at home my witchy friends and let your eyes and mind open some more.

Walk into our kitchen, the hearth of our home...

When you are amognst friends you are never alone.

Our familiars will greet you with a cuddle and purr

And the Aunts will concoct a delicious potion made with some liquor.

The sun has set and night has begun..

....we'll light some candles,

As a spell rolls off our tongues.

The night is ours, my sisters, the moon is shining bright,

So join me in some witchy fun and let the world see your inner light!

For the powers of creation, which challenge us and fill us with breathtaking awe

Goddess we thank you

For the Earth with it's sunrises and sunsets, ocean tides and mountain peaks

For the Humanity, our shared pasts and futures, our oneness despite all differences

Goddess we thank you

For all who have worked and fought for a fairer universe and a life of dignity and freedom

Goddess we thank you

For the opportunity to learn and grow, the knowledge to teach and make choices

For the wisdom to live by hope and not fear and by our deeds not our words

For being and letting us be blessed by that being

Goddess, mighty and powerful, tender and charitable, we most gratefully thank you now.

Season of the Witch

I went in to my local Michaels yesterday to check out their Halloween decor. Wow...what awesome things they have. I could just buy everything if dear ol Hubby didn't mind!

A simple money spell

Whenever you see a coin on the floor, step on it and say, "Money on the floor, Money at my door." Then pick it up and put it in your pocket.

A day to mark on the calendar!

My little monsters, ages 8 (almost 9) and 6.5 years old, have been in school for going on 3 weeks now. Since starting school, it has been a struggle to get both of them to school with no issues. My youngest has developed separation anxiety from Mom. He has already missed several days due to this. My oldest monster has moderate autism and usually is the one that I have issues with but not this time. However, the other day, he decided that he missed Mommy an awful lot too.

Now I admit, I know I am raising a couple of "Momma's Boys". I shower them with love and affection but I do not believe I go over board. They have rules. They have chores. They know that I expect manners, good behavior and no fighting and should they not follow those guidelines, they get a privilege taken away. They are good little monsters though, and Mommy Pixie loves her monsters.

So, today started as normal and I thought that once again, we were going to have a rough morning. NO! It went great! Sure a little grumbling and believe me, I know the monsters did not want to go to school but they went....no crying, no clingy-ness, no holding on to me for dear life!

After driving them to school I thought to myself....."This day needs to be marked on the calendar!"

Karma's a bitch

I decided to come up with a little karma chant the other day. I am tired of seeing countless assholes and other discourteous people and feeling helpless to do anything. Now of course, I am a firm believer in karma but sometimes I think karma could use a little nudge. Watching a random jerk speed through a parking lot of kids made me want to come up with something to help karma show him/her that they need to be a little more careful. Does it work? I'd like to think so. It sure makes me feel better than just muttering things under my breath and hoping karma bites him in the ass. The spoken and written word is a powerful tool. Now of course, I never wish harm on anyone and I firmly believe in the power of 3 so anything I do, I do with the utmost respect. So here is my little chant...if you use it, use it wisely.

Karma, Karma, make them see,

With harm to none, the power of three,

Make them see. Blessed Be.

There's a little witch in all of us.....

I am so excited to take part in my first blog party! I hope I am not biting off more then I can chew...lol! It is the 2nd annual Practical Magic Blog Party for all of those who LOVE the movie! I've never met anyone who doesn't, personally.

Everytime I watch the film, the little witch inside me seems to come to the surface a little more. I dance around the house more, I concoct more recipes and ventures in the kitchen and that spark of creativity seems to roar into a bonfire.

I dream of that lifestyle, of that knowledge and of that freedom and hopefully that will become more and more a reality for me but for now...I have this blog party and I am incredibly excited for it!
