Happy 2012!

Hi and Merry Meet,
Welcome 2012! I had a great new years celebrating with some of our good friends. It has become a tradition to go to their house for dinner and then have poker night almost until midnight. It is always fun. Lucky thing we don't play for money because I'm always the first one out. This year they gave me a prize for that. I won a puzzle so I would have something to do while everyone else kept playing. That only lasted a minute as it was a kids puzzle with 48 large pieces. I brought my knitting along for such an emergency.

Yesterday Husband and I spent the day doing projects around the house. My witchy room is put back together and functional again! Just in time as a Wicca 2 class starts this coming Saturday. That is something I'd like to take and now my space is ready for me to do the homework and such.

Last night we did lose power for a while. The wind was really blowing and the howling it was making was unbelievable. Husband and I ate our dinner by candlelight. Dinner was a little cool (temp showed it was safe to eat) since it was in the oven when we lost power. Those winds were blowing all the negative energy of the last year away, that's what I said to Husband anyway!

I hope everyone had a nice transition to 2012!
Blessed be,
Autumn

Welcome 2010!

Hi and Merry Meet,

Welcome 2010! My husband and I celebrated ringing in the New Year with some friends and playing some poker. It was a good time! The hostess made so many appetizers! They were amazing! It was a black tie affair, so we were dressed to the nines... that was the only thing proper about our crowd! I'm glad that we went. The weather was fine and by the time I drove us home there was no one on the roads.

I wanted to share my New Year/Blue Moon altar:You can see my blue moon ball sitting in the middle of the pentacle. I have yet to tie a ribbon around it to hang it up.

Tomorrow I go back to work (unless there is a snow day!). I'm excited to get back into a routine... although, I'll admit I like lounging around in my pjs until noon!

Blessed be,

Autumn

Blue Moon and The New Year

Hi and Merry Meet,
Today is the end of 2009. It has been a big year for me personally. I started on my pagan path this year. I lost a job and then found two. I saw my little brother get engaged to the most wonderful women. My husband changed jobs and couldn't be happier. All in all, it has been a great year for us.

I've set up my altar for my ritual tonight. My Blue Moon ball is ready to go and all the items that I want to put in it. I will do my ritual before we go to a New Year's party tonight. I'm excited about my ritual and my Blue Moon ball!!

I wish all of you a happy and wonderful New Year and enjoy the Blue Moon!!!
Blessed be,
Autumn

End of 2009!

Hi and Merry Meet,
It has been a hectic past few weeks! I've been so busy with work and family that I haven't had time to blog much lately!

I hope everyone had a great Yule! I just did a very small ritual and enjoyed the day. My husband and I went home to celebrate the holidays with our families. It was nice to spend time with them and be able to enjoy their company. My mom and I did some major shopping after the holidays. I didn't buy too much, but it was being able to spend a whole day just the two of us that meant the most to me. I also got to see my brother and his fiancee!! I haven't seen them since September. It was nice to have them home even if I only got to see them for a few hours!

My husband and I are preparing to spend the New Year's together. Mrs. B had some great ideas about cleaning out for the new year! Check it out here. I am going crazy cleaning my house before Jan 1. I feel it is important to start the year with a clean house, even if that is the only day of the year it is clean for! ;)

I feel like there are big things coming in 2010. It is just a feeling I have, but I feel like big changes are coming.
Blessed be,
Autumn
