People offer everything from simple advice to bed and breakfast depending what they wish or can afford.

Where the road takes us....
Posted by: "holly@ravenoriginals.com" holly@ravenoriginals.com hollyberrysheart
Tue Aug 23, 2011 6:20 am (PDT)
Spirit has been whispering in my ear this morning and leading me to
write a bit about the road we travel…. bare with me, for sometimes
when I get these type messages from Spirit .. I seem to ramble…
Our roads are never perfectly clear from beginning to end and certainly
not smooth …. along the way we are to encounter many obstacles .. it
is not so much the obstacles that are important but how we handle these
obstacles.
Each obstacle is an opportunity to learn and to grow.
At times our road may become dark and it will take a lot of inner
strength to make it through. This is where Spirit screams and shouts
and wants me to make it clear to everyone that the path does not stay
dark for too long, although at the time it may seem unending to the
traveler.
The light will return … when it returns is entirely up to you.
You may not feel that it is in your control but Spirit urges me to say
.. YES.. YES indeed it is.
The decisions you make along this path can keep you in the dark ….
seemingly isolated, burdened and distressed. Spirit again urges me to
make sure this is SEEMINGLY … not REALITY.
The reality is that there are other choices you can make that will take
you out of the darkness much quicker.. though the choices may not be all
that clear to you at the time .. they may “feel†impossible .. or
they may “feel†harder than the choice you have currently made.
Stop! Calm Yourself… Focus.. then step back from your situation and
look at it from other points of view.
Step outside of your own situation and imagine that it is someone else
going through this dark period.. now think of what advice you would give
that other person.
See? Things start becoming more clear to you. You see that there are
other options. They may not be easy but they are there.
The important thing to know is that they are there… Think about this
long dark road you are currently on. Now think of how hard it would be
to continue down this road in the darkness for an undetermined amount of
time… now think of those other options and though they may seem hard
to commit.. once committed to finding another way .. you’ll find the
darkness nothing more than a memory.
Whatever you do … do your best … mistakes will be made.. that is a
given .. focus on doing your best and giving your best … mistakes are
merely lessons for growth and knowledge.
Many blessings for a smoother journey,

Depressed
Posted by: "wickedcityband" wickedcity@sbcglobal.net wickedcityband
Tue Aug 23, 2011 2:03 pm (PDT)
I have been a member of this group for quite a long while. I don't talk much at all on the group, I keep to myself mostly and love this group for all the information on pagans and witchcraft.
I have been going through some major life changes, got a divorce in December - got out of a long marriage of mental abuse, neglect and sometimes physical abuse.
I was married for 23 years and the last 10 years of my marriage were pretty much non-existent. I left my husband over a year ago and started seeing a man who was also married but has been separated from his wife for a while as well. His wife is an alcoholic and had cheated on him. Neither of us cheated on our spouses - we didn't start seeing each other until we were both separated.
He has been my savior and helped me break free from my abusive relationship. Helped me get through my divorce and then was starting the process of his divorce when his wife started wanting him back after they had been separated for several years.
We have actually been together for almost a year now, and he just moved in with me in June.
Now, he has been forced to go back to his home to take care of his estranged wife and his children. Trying to get them help to get well again. He is still in love with me, and wants to be with me. Tells her this as well everyday. He even told me he has been to his former home for several weeks now and still does not want to be there. He stopped all relations with me to not make things rough for him over there, but we are still in contact and still see each other a couple of times a week because we play in a band together.
I don't know what to do now. I am so hurt all around. I had finally gotten out of an abusive relationship, fallen in love with the man of my dreams. And even though he is saying he is trying to get back to me, I'm not so sure anymore if he will be able to do that with what she is putting him through and how she is using the children to keep him there, and I just don't know how much more pain I can stand. I am completely alone now and have nobody to even talk to about this. She knows he's in love with me, she has known about us since we started dating and everything was understood and in the process of divorce until she just went crazy.
They have not been happy together for the longest time and he tells me over and over again, he is miserable over there and loves me more than he loves her. But what do I do? He is not promising me that he is going to be able to make things right over there and he is doing this because he needs to make sure his kids are good, not so much for her, but for his kids.
I need some help and some prayers - energies anything to get me through this now. It just seems so unfair to constantly be hurting and then to lose someone who finally made me happy.
He keeps telling me to be strong that his want is to be with me and he is trying so hard to get back to me. But what if he doesn't? How long do I hang here in limbo? I don't want to look for anyone else, but I don't want to be hurting like this.
Can you all please help me?

I'm no expert on relationships but I think you should tell him exactly what you told all of us. Could you ask him to ask his wife if he could see you more regularly?
Anyways hang in there, and know that you are complete, whole and beautiful all by yourself no matter what happens.

Tue Aug 23, 2011 2:53 pm (PDT)
She's trying to get him to come back to her and she wouldn't leave us alone. It
took her a lot of craziness and her mental breakdown to get him to start talking
to her and then she used the kids to beg him to come back and give her a chance
to change for him. So that is what he is doing even though he doesn't want the
marriage to work, he is making a legitimate effort for his kids to show them
that he is going to give her a chance. So no, I am not allowed to see him as
anything but a friend and not really supposed to be talking to him, though he
calls me everyday while he is at work. After 2:30 though, it's complete
blackout with him unless I see him at practice.
He doesn't think that she is going to be able to change and he is waiting for
her to mess up so he can tell the kids that it isn't going to work. But if
she's smart, she won't mess up and it's possible she will keep him there for
good now, even though he isn't in love with her anymore. So I am stuck waiting
to see what happens and I don't know what to do.
He told me today, he talked to her last night AGAIN, told her he was in love
with me, he was happy with me, we have so much in common and that their marriage
ended such a long time ago when she came home pregnant. He stayed with her
because of the kids, the kids are now older, his oldest is 18 and his youngest
is 13. He separated from her like a said a couple of years ago and everything
was working out until he asked for the divorce.
I have practice with him tonight and Thursday night and then we are running
sound for a band on Saturday. He keeps saying she is not going to be able to
live with him seeing me even this much and he also said last night she seemed to
be starting to realize that he does love me. She even said she was going to go
out on Saturday and he said do it. Now he's hoping she goes out and drinks and
comes home and starts on him so he can say "see kids, this is why we can't live
together". But this is so little to go on and like I said if she's smart, she
won't do anything to give him a reason to show the kids they can't be together.
He said he is setting up an appointment with a therapist and I just set one up
myself too. I see someone next Wednesday. He is going to make his wife set up
an appointment too. He says he is going to tell the therapist exactly what is
going on, that he is in love with another woman, that he cares for his wife -
she's the mother of his kids, but it's just not working and has not worked for a
long time. He's hoping that she just lets him go and that we can get back
together and finally work on us without anymore drama.
But it's just so hard because he is keeping a distance from me, even though I
can see it hurts him, but I can't give him a hard time about it either because
he is going through so much now too and it is killing him to see me hurting. So
I have to try to not say too much to him about this, accept the fact that I am
detached for the time being and hope and pray he gets her to let him go.
And if she doesn't, then I have to work through this despair all over again, and
this time without anyone to help me. I just don't know how much more of this I
can take.

take a step back and give your path a good long hard look. At whats postive and what is not. No one can make you happy but you. As a witch you know how vital it is to stay in postive energy. Your path is your own. you know how much you can take .
As for advice I dont see this as a short term task. my belief is you should go on , leave the door open ,Should he ever be free to have a relationship . But you need and deserve a life and to be happy. you have already been through hell. there is more than one good man out there . You have choices
Be postive believe . go places some where you have never been. Start living for you . meet people . center and balance . let go .......

thank you, this has been good, I'm glad you all let me really lay it out like
that, made me even express to myself all the frustrations and fears and
confusion. I feel much better and actually spent the rest of my day taking care
of myself. Talked about it some with him tonight and stood up for some things
and found some answers together with him. I am alone right now at my home and
not feeling alone anymore, feeling a little more confident in myself and who I
am and what I mean in this moment right now. There are actually many things I
can take advantage of right now like you say below, while still leaving the door
open and seeing what happens.
These words are very healing and very needed for myself at this very specific
moment. Thank you

coming-of-age rite. On day seven, the girls rebuild the screens
around the royal kraal with reeds.

Today's Goddess: Damona
Shepherd's Fair (Luxembourg)
Themes~ Animals; Health
Symbols~ Sheep; Hot Water
About Damona~ A Gaulish Goddess who cares for all domestic animals, especially
sheep and cows, Damona is sometimes portrayed as a hot spring, alluding to a healthful,
warm quality. As fall nears, we can call on Damona to protect our pets, or to maintain
the health of the animals who provide us with food.
To Do Today~ As one might expect, this historical fair brought together sheep
merchants to show their goods to interested parties, including a special parade of
the animals bedecked in ribbons. The parade probably goes back to much earlier
times when animals were taken into magic rituals that maintained health. One way
to continue this tradition is by sprinkling a little warm water on your pet to invite Damona's
protection (or brush it into the creature's fur--this works better with cats).
Wear woolen clothing (or wool blends) to don Damona's healthy aspect for your day.
Or simply enjoy a cup of tea before the day gets busy; Damona abides in the warm water.
To ensure a healthful night's sleep and pleasant dreams, count sheep as you go to bed.
Visualize each one jumping over Damona's waters and walking toward you. This brings
Damona into your sleep cycle, where her energy can flow more easily to renew well-being

A Space for Learning Spell

A Space for Learning Spell
Incense of the day: Cedar
Virgos are great at organizingâ€"especially at organizing everyone else’s stuff. Virgos also love thought, learning, and beauty. Whether you are going
back to school or have long since graduated, you never really stop
learning. This is the perfect time to design and organize a comfortable
personal space where you can read, study, and learn. Set aside time and
space for mental growth. Remove any unnecessary distractions, including
TVs, but if music is not too distracting to you add a small stereo or CD player. Buy bookshelves, a comfy couch, and a sturdy desk. Organize
your space so that you can more easily organize your mind, while giving
it plenty of free space to expand. Light a yellow candle in the center
of your space, and smudge with sage or cedar, clearing it of negativity. Alternately, place a few drops of clary sage oil into the candle as it
burns in order to spread the scent throughout the space. Say:
Athena, Sophia, Gnosis,
Knowledge and wisdom, in all your many guises.
I dedicate this space to learning.
Bring your words to my ears and your ideas to my mind so that I may learn and grow in your presence.
So mote it be.

Daily Aromatherapy Tip - How about some Citrus Candles??
Hollowed-out lemons become fragrant yellow cups for candles. Using a serrated knife and small ice-cream scoop, remove pulp from lemon halfs. Wash and dry lemon shells, then insert a votive candle into each one. (try and find a citrus scented yellow candle or use a vanilla colored candle). Pour rock salt around candles to add sparkle.

Song of Priestess At Victory Feast, Jibaro people of South America

Sing and dance, all of you!
Come, come, all of you!
Dance, singly, singing!
Dance singly, without shame!
Dress well, arrange your ornaments!
Sing, dance, without shame!
Take each other's hands and dance!
Like the hawk, like the swallow, dance!
~Song of Priestess At Victory Feast, Jibaro people of South America
Victory! The very word is the name of a Goddess! To be victorious means to have conquered,
to have overcome, to have given unsustained effort, to have achieved.
It is unfortunate that the word victory is now linked to combativeness and war.
For others need not die or be crushed for us to attain victory. We achieve victories
every time we complete a creative work or finish a lengthy project; when we master
a habit that had mastered us; when we make a scientific discovery; when we create
a good life out of unlikely materials. Such victorious deserve support and applause.
As the priestess sang, these are victories to be celebrated without shame.
