Introduce/ Reintroduce yourseflf to the goddess

Using what you learned about yourself in the last couple of weeks, gather the things that you found or represnations of them (Statue of animals/Goddess/God, perfume instead of flower, etc) And settle yourself in for some quiet time.

Choose a time when you know no one is going to interrupt you, gather some candles of your favorite color, burn some incense of your favorite scent/put on perfume or both! Have some images of your favorite things. As for music you can play music and make it something you enjoy I usually either have the sound of classical music with surf or sounds of the wild, but I highy advise advoiding music with words as it is distracting.

Once you are ready relax, take some time to just breath, set aside your worries for the day and just let it all fall away. Now listen, feel, smell, embrace the goddess and god, feel them around you. Show them who  you are not just with what you provided them but start with that, then let them deeper into your soul, let them see that you truely are serious about learning about them, from them, and to be one with them. Let them fill you, listen to them heed any warning, advice or interesting tidbits they may say to you for they are wiser then any who ever walked the earth.

When you feel your time with them is coming to a close thank them, and journal your experiance.

Now I do understand the personal nature of this assignment so take your time with it, you do not have to share everything her just a summery will do, but you can always share as much or as little as you'd like.

Most importantly enjoy yourself and listen to your dieties they love you and have been waiting to meet you or to see you in their realms yet again.

Blessed Be

Sharing Some Thoughts and Ideas

First of all Dusk and I are in the preliminary stages of starting up a store called Covens & Candles. We plan to sell homemade items such as candles, wands, incense, oils, artwork, and other things. And currently reading Wandlore by Alferian Gwydion MacLir which I find very informative and insightful. I will use this knowledge along with my own personal knowledge of different trees, woods, and creativity to start my own line of wands. Things are progressing well with the house, and I am finding I have few spare moments here and there to devote to the craft.

Thanks for tuning in
Blessed Be

Abou Myself

First of all I want to apologize to everyone for my absence from the blog. As you all know i have been dealing with flood damage. Which is taking up all of my spare time, which doesn't leave much room for studying or sharing my thoughts. Which bring us to my response to Dusk's questions about myself.

I know that I am stone person any and all. I can feel the energy whenever I touch a stone, I connect with them on a deeper level. My most powerful connection with a purple fluorite. I carried one around for several months while i was going thru hard times and i helped me to pull out the negative energy and to center myself.

I also know that earth is my element. I have always felt comfortable or drawn to nature, to the woods. There is nothing like the piece and tranquility that i feel while i am in the woods. the smell of the leaves, I can just feel the energy coming form the trees and everything around me. When i was growing up whenever i had issues i would go for a walk in the woods and just sit out there and relax and just clear my head. Everything would just come to focus, And I like to work with my hands and make things.

I am into the Greek pantheon but I"m not sure who my god and goddess is. Now my animal is the dog, because they are so smart and i always have felt a connection with them. My metal is silver another one of those things not sure why yet.

As for a trigger not listed is the power of scent. Mine is peppermint. It has an amazing calming effect, I have always been into scents.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone, I think we have a good start for a group and feel I connection with some people and that there is energy there and we can make things happen.

Blessed be

Finding out about yourself

Well everyone i have good news and bad news. the good new first. WE WILL BE DOING THE GROUP AFTER ALL!!!!!!! The bad news is not sure when the first meeting will be, in the mean time I thought we could continue with online study and interest. Which brings me to the topic of this post, self discovery.

It is my belief that everyone has certain things that draw them. An animal, a plant, a stone/gem/crystal, a symbol, an element, a deity. Now I would like you all to start your own search, read as much as you can, pick one thing, your power animal, your stone, even your patron Deity (remember is you pick a male you should also pick a female and vise versa, balance is always important)

Now I know that sometimes there are multiples, more often then not. I also know that there are others things that I didn't list. So my task for you is this, work on finding out what your specific draws are.

My own draws (and I haven't finished searching, researching and learning them but for now) are Posiedon as my god, Orchid for my flower (not sure which species yet), orca whales along with turtles and seahorses, and water is my element. Now if you see they seem to follow a theme, which in case also goes along with my zodiac symbol of pisces. This is not always the case, although starting with your astrological sign is always a help. One book that gives you another not so common look at this is called Darkside Zodiac by Stella Hyde, her website: http://www.darksidezodiac.net/single.htm?ipg=10766 is a start but the book also tells you to look at your moon sign which in my case was cancer. (another water sign)

So once you complete this please share with the group your findings in the form of comments the other thing I'd like you to do is discover something else that is you that you draw power from, there are a lot of things i didn't list I only ask you to list one, with the exception if someone has already listed it you must pick another.

Blessed be in the exploration of yourself
