Blue Moon Ritual

Hi and Merry Meet,
I did get a vet appointment for today. The sectary was new and a bit rude. She wanted to know why I thought this was an emergency. I wouldn't have called for an appointment if I thought nothing was wrong. The fact that he can't function like he should is kind of a big deal to me. Really? Sometimes people are just clueless. Anyway, on the bright side, they said I can bring him in later to get checked out. I'm happy about that. I'm so worried about my bunny. :(

One of the things I have to do this week is get ready for the blue moon that is going to happen on Friday! Last time there was one I did a ritual with a blue christmas ball. I filled it with something major that I wanted to change in my life. It was really fun and the ball has been hanging in my witchy room since then. I can look at it often and be reminded of what I wanted to change. This time I have been invited to a mulit-coven ritual. I was really excited when they said that we are going to use blue christmas balls to fill with a big change that we want in our lives. On this blue moon, I am supposed to smash the ball that I filled last time so that I can see how the magick manifested in my life. I don't know if I should take the one I made last time to this group. I don't know if anyone has one to smash too. I might take it and if we don't then, I can do it in a personal ritual at home.

Now, I need to think about what major change I want in my life. It was suggested that it be a big thing- job, house, car, etc. I have a lot of thinking to do. There are a few major changes I'd like to make but I want to pick the one that is a bigger issue. I think if I can get an extra boost from the blue moon's energy it might help me to think that the problem is not so big. Last time the thing I wrote down and added to the ball was pretty big and slowly things have changed on that. It's still a big issue for me, but I can see growth and that is really all I wanted to see. I think this time around I will have a better idea of what things I need to add to the ball to make this working more successful.

Here's what I have to do to get ready:
 take one blue christmas ball (glass is better so you can smash it)
write down what you want to achieve
add things that will inspire the magick (if it's house- a picture of a house, car- same...)
meditate and put them in the ball
 close the ball up and get ready for ritual

That's how I did mine last time. I'm not sure how the group one will do it, but I'm excited to see!
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

Past Week!

Hi and Merry Meet,
This past week was a little crazy. I am adjusting to my new job and balancing my home life with work life. Husband has been great! He's helped me with dinner and laundry. It's been amazing!

My last two Wicca classes have been canceled for now. We'll have the last two in January. I'm kind of glad that we are able to postpone them for a little. I have to study for the quiz that we are having the last class. One of the things that I have to do is fill out a blank altar set up. My altar here at home is so simple. The one that I have to fill out for class has a lot more stuff on it than I do. I have my stones for the Lord and Lady, incense, illumination candles, a chalice, and a bowl of salt. The one that is on the quiz has a few more things than that. I'm worried that I won't be able to remember all the things that are on the paper altar that I have to set up. I love my personal altar. Even though it is simple, it feels so right to me. I love simple.

One thing that we learned about last class was the Blue Moon balls. Our instructor gave us a blue ball that we can fill with a big wish to be completed by the next blue moon. We are supposed to fill it with things that we think will show us what our goal is. I've been thinking about it a lot. One thing that we have talked about is finish our bathroom renovations... we started it four years ago! Or the other thing is that we finish it and find our forever house. This house was supposed to be our starter house. Our plan was to be here for 5-7 years and then move out... next September is 7 years. On the next blue moon we smash the ball to look back on our goal and see if it was accomplished. I love this idea! I'm excited to think about what I can fill my ball with to meet my goal. Of course, I have to pick a goal yet!

Anyway, I hope that everyone has had a great weekend!
Blessed be,
Autumn
