Spell to Banish Misunderstandings

Spell to Banish Misunderstandings
If constant misunderstandings are ruining your love life, bake some
cookies. Use your favorite recipe for shortbread, adding a tablespoon of
culinary lavender and a pinch of cinnamon to the dough. Or, buy some ready-
made shortbread and a container of vanilla icing. Add a small amount of
culinary lavender and a pinch of cinnamon to the icing and spread it on the cookies.
Decorate a table setting with pink flowers. Sit down with your significant
other and share the cookies and a pot of your favorite tea to which you have
added a teaspoon of aniseed. Do not speak. Quietly celebrate the moment
together.

Aromatherapy Tip

Botanical name Citrus aurantium
This is one of the most exquisite scents that can melt away tension with a
single whiff. Uplifting and refreshing with a delicious citrus bouquet.
A top note in aromatherapy, Blood Orange is cold pressed from the peel/rind
of the fruit. It helps to reduce tension, anxiety and inspires open
communication. It is said to balance the throat chakra and allows us to ask
ourselves and others for what we want.
It may also benefit the heart chakra as it can help release pain and allow
room for love to flow in and out. It may also be used to treat shock,
depression and stress. Used in massage it is a effective detoxifier and
purifier

Elder's Meditation of the Day

Elder's Meditation of the Day
"I've had a long regard for generational things: pottery, cultural things, participation in dancing, and extended family. Only in that way does culture survive; only in that way is culture active.
-- Tessie Naranjo, SANTA CLARA PUEBLO
Culture teaches us how to live and it ensures that knowledge about life is handed down from generation to generation. Culture gives us the feeling of belonging. It helps us raise our family in a good way. It teaches us how to treat one another. Culture sets boundaries for societies. We need to develop our culture. If we have left our culture, then we need to come back to it. Culture leads us back to the Great Spirit. Sometimes in our lives, we leave what we know works and experiment with something else. Then we get into trouble. So we need to come back home. Indian people are lucky to have a culture to return to.
Creator, thank you for the culture. Let me live it today.

Use your mouse by holding the left mouse button down and then move the picture up or down. It is fascinating! You'll have to click on each link for the different sites. Just be careful and hold onto your chair in case you get dizzy!

Fostering Family

Fostering Family
For family covens, Yule is the time to reflect upon all that has begun. Just as the Sun rises to begin again the journey to its fullness, so this is the time for families to reflect upon all the beginnings of their lives: when the partners first met, when the children were first conceived, when the familiars (animals) in the family coven were brought into the household. These beginnings within the family coven should be brought out at Yule and talked about around the Yule log or while sitting in the living room with some hot chocolate. This is a reflection of what this time of year means to Pagans past.
Traditionally, many Earth-based practitioners stay up all night and wait for the rising dawn. A family coven could incorporate this tradition with the practice of reflection. Turn off all the lights and have the family room lit by firelight or by candles or soft lamp lighting. Have the father priest(s) be in charge of knowing the time the Sun will rise and have them prepare a tarp, many blankets and have picked out a good place to watch the new Sun rise.
Back at the family covenstead, in the quiet of night, sip hot chocolate and other eye-opening drinks (hot cinnamon and apple cider or lemon zinger tea) and pore over old photos. Have the partner(s) recount how they met, what it felt like. Recount for the family coveners these stories and let the children ask questions. Don't forget to remind them that we reflect upon these things at this time of year because this is about the new beginnings and celebrating them just as you will celebrate the sunrise, when it comes.
Then talk about when the partner(s) found out they were expecting the various children. How did they feel? Were they scared? Talk about those beginnings in detail focusing on emotions and feelings. Children long to know things like how they got their names. The answers to such questions shape the way they view prospective partners and prepare them for a future that might include having or adopting their own children.
Then ask your family coven what new beginnings happened during this past year that should be toasted or celebrated. Did you buy a new car? Did you move into a new house? Did you change jobs? Did you find out you were expecting or start the journey toward adoption? Did you give birth or adopt? Did someone in the family coven commit to a spiritual journey, dedicate to a spiritual path, start a new hobby, career, or extracurricular activity? Talk about these new beginnings and how they affected your family coven. Talk about the negative and the positive.
While all this talking is going on, you could have your family coven be painting or making the year's ornaments. They should reflect your ongoing conversation about new beginnings. You can use foam ornament packages bought at the craft stores, or fill clear balls with images that remind you of the stories you told that year. You could use a simple salt dough ornament recipe to make, bake, paint, and seal ornaments reflecting the discussions.
You can also string popcorn and cranberries while you talk. This activity should remind you that in the darkness of winter, our brothers and sisters outside that need us to sustain them, just as they have been sustaining us through the majority of the wheel of the year.
When the father priest(s) indicates, bundle everyone up and take them out to watch the sunrise. Use the tarp to protect against snow or dew, and the blankets to help keep warm. Don't forget those hats, gloves, and coats! Watch the sunrise, and when it is fully risen, shout, "Happy Birthday Sun God!"
Rush back inside to open presents. Try to take the edge off the holiday blues by encouraging children and yourselves to have a budget and stick to it. Better a few well-picked presents than a tree stuffed with things that reflect our egotistic desires and crush our spiritual development. Make a least one present for each member of the family coven. They don't have to be fancy; however, a functional gift is a good reflection of this time of year. Then eat a warm and hearty breakfast, taking your popcorn and cranberry strings out to the yard and decorating a bush or tree with them, leaving some of the breakfast there for nature to retrieve and enjoy.
Then, as a family, make a big bed in the family room and sleep together. Start the new beginning with the whole family coven. Let the magic of the season fill the room and breathe into your family coven the surety that new beginnings will always come and will always pass while you sleep. Let the knowledge that through working together, a family coven can overcome any upheaval a new beginning may bring.
In the quiet and stillness of the longest night of the year, you have an opportunity as a family coven to create memories that will last a lifetime while planting within your children comfort with change and new experiences. As you celebrate the changes and new things in your life, you are sending the signal to your charges that life is change, and change is good. Even death is a beginning of a life that is different, a life without. It may be sad; however, it is also an opportunity to learn, grow, and start anew.

A Kitchen Witch is What I Be
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Mon Dec 6, 2010 11:26 pm (PST)
A Kitchen Witch is What I Be
Ever Mindful of the rule of three.
By full moons glow I honor my path,
but first cleansing myself by a ritual bath.
The Watchtowers four I call asunder.
I chant for power, as Thor lends to me his thunder.
Casting my circle thrice round,
upon the hearth of Fairy ground.
Skyclad under the moon I invoke their power,
as upon this realm time is within the Witching hour.
For with this ritual that I cast
I seek enlightenment present, future and old ways past.
Bring to me with in the realm of sleep,
visions of the Lord and Lady in their forest keep.
Grant me the strength and passion to go on,
for when daylight breaks and my visions are gone.
Keep me on this path steadfast and true.
So shall I dream, so shall I do.
As my ritual candle flickers it's end.
It's last light to the world I shall send.
For within it's burnt wick hope is cast about.
As I close the circle upon this Fairy mount,
my ritual intent is drawn in by the moon.
Night wanes fast for morn is coming soon.
The Morning sun will take my intent within it's grasp,
and shine it upon all those who walk on this path.
All Witches, young and old,
for our secrets and lore on magical pages
within a Book of Shadows be told
Learn as many lessons you can each day
As my ritual candle burns eternal to light your way.

Great Homemade Gifts in a Jar
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Great Homemade Gifts in a Jar Recipes
Tips:
While homemade gifts in a jar mixes are very simple to make, there are a few rules to follow to make them work properly. Here are some tips on how to make your gifts in a jar tasty and beautiful.
Start with the freshest ingredients. Your mixes will have a shelf life of 3 months in most cases. If you use fresh ingredients, they will keep that long and still taste delicious.
To keep each layer separate and distinct, layer the ingredients properly to prevent the different layers sifting down into each other. Unless otherwise directed by your recipe, place the ingredients with the finest grains at the bottom, then add ingredients with larger grains, and finally top them off with any large chunks. Pack down each layer tightly before adding the next layer. Also, your Homemade gifts in a jar will look prettier if you layer light and dark-colored ingredients alternately.
Usually, your layers will go something like this depending on the ingredients:
Bottom: flour, cocoa powder
Middle: white sugar
Middle: rolled oats, ground nuts
Middle: brown sugar (its more sticky consistency works well as a base for large pieces)
Top: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, candy pieces
If powdery substances such as cocoa powder or flour
stick to the inside of the gift jar, wipe it down before adding the next layer.
A small meat mallet or the end of a French rolling pin (without handles)
work well as tools to tamp down ingredients in the gift jar.
If layering the ingredients seems like too much of a hassle, just put all the ingredients in the jar and give it a good shake!
Dress up the gift jar. Take some pretty fabric and cut out a 9" circle with pinking shears. Place the circle on the lid of the gift jar and secure it around the neck of the gift jar using raffia or a ribbon. Print out the instructions on fancy paper using a decorative font and tie the instructions to the gift jar.
On the printed card, add the shelf life of the ingredients (usually about 3 months), as well as instructions to keep the jar in a cool, dark place. Your recipient will be assured of tasty cookies even if he or she can't get around to making them right away.
