Workings and Cleaning

Hi and Merry Meet,
This weekend was filled with some much needed spring cleaning and small workings.

Yesterday I started to clean the house and remove all the stale energy. I wanted to leave the windows open while I did this however, husband and I agreed that it was too cold for that! I only got my normal weekend chores done before I went to my friend's house for a St. Patty's day party.

Today, however, was a beautiful day to fling open the windows and clean out! The rabbits even got their toe nails cut much to their dismay. I scrubbed, washed and scoured the house! Even my husband noticed how much lighter the house feels.

I had to set aside some time today for a quick spell for this coming week. My job right now has reached a new level of stressful and I want to be as prepared for it as I can. I used the devil card from one of my tarot decks to help me focus. I used this card as the people on it are not as shackled as tightly as they believe that they are. I need to remember that this week. I have choices even when it seems like I have none.

I'm ready for the upcoming week now! Clean house and new focus ready to go!
Blessed be,
Autumn

Running Shrine

Hi and Merry Meet,
In December my friend tried to talk me into running a half marathon with her. I told her I would start to train for it but we'll see about it.

The half is April 29th. I started training lightly back in December. A week before my trip to Colorado the training schedule my friend sent me started. I started training for real.

I have realized that I really want to do this. Copies of my running schedule are posted around the house and at work. I can't miss it. I talked a good friend into running the shorter stuff with me. She even did my first longer run with me last Sunday.

When we were in Colorado, we found lots of shops with hindu gods and goddess in them. I have never really been drawn to that but one of the shops had each god or goddess with their own shrines. They were not all mashed together and they had signs telling you their name and what each one's specialty is. I found a small elephant for the god Ganesh. It said he was the remover of obstacles. My husband wanted to know why I wanted him when normally I follow the Celtic gods. I told him I was called to him and I think he will support my training for the half.

Now in my witchy room I have a small shrine to Ganesh to help me overcome the mental obstacles I have while running. He sits on top if my training schedule and has rice and some jasmine incense near him too. Behind him I place zebra stones which are good for physical strength and body. I placed my shoes that I was going to swap for the ones I have been using at the base of it.

April 29th, here I come!
Blessed be,
Autumn

Back To Reality

Hi and Merry Meet,
We came back from a wonderful vacation last weekend. This past week was busy! This week looks pretty good.

I have been asked to do a workshop on kitchen witches for my coven. After thinking it over, I have agreed to do it. I was told I will present it in April. I have an idea of what I want to share, but it needs some work yet. I'm sure I can get it together by the time I have to share it!

Have a great week!
Blessed be,
Autumn
