My ever present dog is actually one of my familiars.... he acts as a sentry/protector when I am doing any magickal work. When he was a pup, he would try to disrupt but, suddenly one full moon ritual he took up a place outside of my circle and sat at attention. That was 8 years ago and it is always the same now.
Sometimes, during meditations, he seems to have messages for me.
Love, Light and Abundant Blessings,
LadyHawk

My first familiar was my cat Abby, I could never do anything magical without her being right in the middle of it. Sadly she passed away a few years ago. My newest familiar would be my two dogs. They are always in the thick of it when I do anything magically, especially if we are outside and casting a circle. My dog Oscar will walk and cast the circle with me :)
Okay everyone, what are your familiar(s) and how did they become so?

Greetings,
I find the spells done on the eclispse is the fastest acting, I have
been doing a spell for a job for one of my sons and he got the phone call the
next day to tell him he had the job, that was fast most times for other
requests I have waited at least a few days for results.

I agree. Eclipses are like going through an entire lunar cycle in a few hours. This is the strongest energy available.

Merry Meet,
Please add my future step-childrens' names(Isaac and Abigail) to the healing list. Their maternal Grandfather passed away unexpectedly yesterday. My future step-son has serious issues with depression and we are very concerned that he may fall back into his past ways of dealing with it. My future step-daughter is leaving for the military within the next week and is also very upset by this loss. Both kids were very close to him, and are devestated by this loss. Thank you.
Merry Part,
Denise

Denise, I am sorry for the loss of Isaac and Abigail's grandfather. I have added their names to the next Healing Circle. What a terrible time for this death to happen, with the children going through issues already. Blessings to all of you.

Kherington & Twitch's Viennese Waltz on SYTYCD
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Thu Jun 16, 2011 12:31 pm (PDT)
Kherington & Twitch's Viennese Waltz
This has to be my favorite routine ever on 'So You Think You Can Dance.' I love this show, as opposed to the 'Dancing With the Stars' farce.
Anyway, this is a routine from 2008, and the song and the beautiful dance reminded me of my Angel Hannah.
On March 24, 2009 my daughter Tiffany gave birth to her daughter, Ava Rhiannon, and Ava was diagnosed with the same affliction as Jean-Mark's daughter, Rett's Syndrome. So, this beautiful dance has special meaning for me. Ava is in a wheelchair, and doesn't walk or talk, but she has a beautiful smile, and also loves to watch movement, such as dancing.
http://youtu.be/ayQHTG4VgIo
Jean-Marc Gennereaux choregraphed this, and he has a daughter who's afflicted by Rett's syndrome. It's a disease which has left her bedridden with almost no verbal skills. But he says that when she sees people dancing, her eyes light up and she's completely filled with joy.
This piece is inspired by the joy that the man sees in his daughter's eyes, and the sheer joy of dancing.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Thursday, June 16
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Thu Jun 16, 2011 12:42 pm (PDT)
Daily Feng Shui Tip by Ellen Whitehurst for Thursday, June 16
It's June, which means it's wedding time. But what if you're always the bridesmaid and never the bride? That can get pretty expensive on both your pocketbook and your psyche. So, expressly for you today, is something that can help bathe away those blues. Simply by taking this bath you can wash those old feelings down the drain and feel brand spanking new and ready to face another crazy dress! Start your spa day by premixing together three ounces each of apricot oil and sweet almond oil with one ounce of aloe vera gel and a half-ounce of rosewater. Add to this blend 13 drops of jasmine essential oil and six drops of rose. Allow this mixture to stand for at least thirty minutes before adding it to your bath. Soak for at least twenty minutes while visualizing what your own perfect wedding day will look like. If at the end of 27 days you're still simpatico with the main character of '27 Dresses' then you need to take this bath again, being completely sure that you've added all the ingredients in the right proportions. I know that this bath actually opens up opportunities to walk down the aisle, really, I swear, I do! Marry your desires with your intentions and then you can be sure to say 'I do' too!

FireWise
Unfortunately, wildfires are a fact of life in certain parts of the country; the Arizona fires which have destroyed over 389,000 acres have made us all aware of the danger of these fires. The Firewise Home Page was created for people who live or vacation in fire prone areas of North America. The information contained here will help you to become a firewise individual and acquaint you with the challenges of living in some of these threatened areas. Even if you don’t live in a wildfire area yourself, this site will help you appreciate the precautions and preparation that people in these areas must constantly take. You’ll find a full list of associated links to fire-related resources. It always helps to be prepared.
Lady N's Note: Fires are burning in many places in Georgia and North Florida. While traveling yesterday, we were forced to take 3 detours because the fires were so extensive in these 2 states. Please everyone, send healing energy to our Earth Mother.

Fw: DailyOM: An Invitation to Comfort
Posted by: "Beth Patterson" purrrpaws4444@yahoo.com purrrpaws4444
Thu Jun 16, 2011 8:09 pm (PDT)
Today's DailyOM brought to you by:
June 15, 2011
An Invitation to Comfort
Creating a Happy, Serene, and Healthy Home
Include all 5 senses while making a home, doing so provides safe haven for your evolving body and soul.
Your home is your oasis. Through your efforts, your house or apartment can become both a private sanctuary and a welcoming, serene, and healthy place to live in and visit. An organized and comfortable home can have a calming effect on you, your family, and guests, as well as be your personal escape from the rest of the world. Creating this nurturing space isn’t difficult. Even a household that includes young children or multiple animals can be a serene and peaceful place. In just a few minutes, you can make a number of changes that can turn your home into a safe and comfortable haven that you can be proud to share with your loved ones and friends.
One way to fill your house or apartment with calming energy is to imbue it with a peaceful ambiance that nurtures all five senses. Soft lighting and soothing colors like blue, purple, and green can make a space feel warm and inviting, while pleasant and calming aromas such as lavender and vanilla can positively affect moods. Peaceful sounds, such as running water in a fountain or gentle chimes can uplift and clear the space, while clearing clutter and making the most of open space can ease internal turmoil and dispel negative feelings. The physical objects in your home as well as your home itself can retain the energy of previous owners and the object’s creator. You can give your household’s energy a lift by visualizing white light surrounding our home, symbolically sweeping out residual energy, or smudging your home with cleansing sage.
The changes you make to your home can be as unique as you are and may involve utilization of space, lighting, new furniture, decorating, feng shui, or ritual. But what you do is not as important as being clear in your intention to set up your household as a soothing and refreshing place to be. Make your home a place of comfort, and you will feel nurtured and cared for whenever you are there.

LISTEN
People loveto talk but hate to listen. Listening is not merely not talking, thougheven that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous,human interest in what is being told us. You can listen like a blankwall or like a splendid auditorium where every sound comes back fullerand richer.

A competent professional listens well, probes, asks questions, and thinks before he speaks. This is easy to say, but hard to do.

Elder's Meditation of the Day
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Thu Jun 16, 2011 10:36 pm (PDT)
Elder's Meditation of the Day
"For me, the essence of a medicine man's life is to be humble, to have great patience, to be close to the Earth, to live as simply as possible, and to never stop learning."
-- Archie Fir Lame Deer, LAKOTA
The Medicine people focus on their Being, not their doing. After all, we are human beings not human doings. The Medicine people are very patient and consciously trying to live a life of humility. Medicine people are servant leaders. Their main purpose is to serve the needs of others. By this service attitude, they become the leaders people listen to and the leaders the people want to follow. The Medicine people say everyone is their teacher. Maybe we should try to live this way ourselves; humble, patient, honoring the Earth and listening to our teachers.
Grandfather, today, let me know all people are my teachers and I am the student.

10 Best Films About Fathers
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Thu Jun 16, 2011 10:37 pm (PDT)
10 Best Films About Fathers
Movie Mom picks the top movies featuring dads this Father's Day.
By Nell Minow
Fathers play such a powerful role in our lives that they have inspired many memorable movie portrayals of men who tenderly protect and guide their children.
Some of the dads in these classic films I've selected have to learn how important their children are to them. Others have to learn how to communicate their feelings and the values they consider most important. And others have to learn how to let go. But all of them illuminate our understanding of our own fathers and inspire us to be better parents ourselves.
Atticus Finch, 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
Played by Gregory Peck, small-town lawyer Finch is not the kind of father to spend all afternoon playing catch or dress-up. He does not tell his children how wonderful they are or how much he loves them. His children, Scout and Jem, learn from other people about his integrity and ability. And then they see how far he will go to keep them safe. The last line of the movie says it all: "He turned out the light and went into Jem's room. He would be there all night and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning."
Jason 'Furious' Styles, 'Boyz N the Hood'
Laurence Fishburne plays Jason "Furious" Styles in a violent neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles where fathers are too often absent. But the aptly named "Furious" is a fierce defender of his son, protecting him but also teaching him to believe in himself. Styles explains, "Any fool...can make a baby, but only a real man can raise his children." The guidance, attention, and example Tre receives from his father are what keep him safe while those around him get caught up in a tragic cycle of drugs and violence. Fishburne's presence and dignity create an indelible portrayal of paternal vigilance.
Marlin, 'Finding Nemo'
Voiced by Albert Brooks, a loving but over-protective little clownfish must search the entire ocean to find his lost son in this beloved Pixar classic. Nemo has a disability, which his father has taught him to call his "lucky fin." This shows us that at some level, even before he is aware of it himself, he wants to teach his son to be strong, confident, and independent. It is an epic journey filled with adventure and discovery encompassing the grandest sweep of oceanic vastness and the smallest longing of the heart. And it is a story that can be appreciated by audience members of all ages.
Stanley Banks, 'Father of the Bride'
Spencer Tracy plays Stanley Banks in the original "Father of the Bride." It can be difficult to raise a child, but it is more difficult to let her go. Banks is stunned when his beloved daughter Kay (Elizabeth Taylor) decides to get married and soon gets overwhelmed with the details and expense of the wedding. Watch Tracy's face when Kay explains why she has (thankfully temporarily) called off her engagement in this story of a loving father who gets caught up in pre-Bridezilla wedding drama (and trauma). It is a masterful performance as without a word his expression goes from deep concern and reassurance to making every possible effort not to laugh. See also the sequel, "Father's Little Dividend" and the remake with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton.
Gil Buckman, 'Parenthood'
Steve Martin plays Gil, the manic, devoted father in "Parenthood." No film better shows the challenges, terrors, wrenching choices, and satisfactions of fatherhood than this extended family story inspired by the lives of the three men who made it and the 14 children in their lives. Gil struggles with his eight-year-old son Kevin's anxiety, his wife's unexpected pregnancy, a boss who wants Gil's job to be his top priority, and his unresolved issues with his own father (Jason Robards), who is unable to show affection and approval. Gil is everything his own father was not, spending hours tossing a baseball with Kevin, and taking over when the birthday party entertainer he promised Kevin does not show up. That night, just before bed, Kevin tells Gil that when he grows up he wants to work in Gil's office so they can still be together every day.
Ted Kramer, 'Kramer vs. Kramer'
Dustin Hoffman plays Ted Kramer in this ground-breaking film. Ted Kramer is not even sure what class his child is in discovers what it means to be a father after his wife (Meryl Streep) leaves them. And then he discovers how much it matters to him when she returns and he has to fight for custody. Highlights of his Oscar-winning performance are the three different breakfast scenes at the beginning, middle, and end of the story. In the first one, a harried Ted has no idea of how to care for or communicate with his son. In the second, they sit in companionable silence, their routines a comfortable reminder of the familiarity of their life together. And in the third, when it seems they may be separated by the custody ruling, the connection between them is heartbreakingly tender.
Tom Winters, 'Houseboat'
In one of his few roles as a father, Cary Grant plays a man who only discovers how much he needs his children after the death of their mother. Tom is a lawyer whose business kept him away from home most of the time. His children, devastated by the loss of their mother, resent and mistrust him because they hardly know him. They all end up living in a leaky old houseboat, and he impetuously hires a beautiful Italian woman (Sophia Loren) as their housekeeper and nanny, not realizing that she has run away from her own father and knows no more about housekeeping than he does. It is funny and romantic and also surprisingly wise and touching. Watch for the scene when Tom explains to his oldest son how even when people die they are not really gone.
Sam Baldwin, 'Sleepless in Seattle'
Though devastated by the loss of his wife, Sam, played by Tom Hanks, is committed to being a positive and caring father for his son Jonah. Hanks is particularly good at showing us how Sam's love for Jonah both sustains him and makes him miss his wife even more because every moment reminds him of how much he wishes she could share his pride or supply some guidance. Look for Hanks's expression as he arrives at the top of the Empire State Building in search of Jonah, who has flown to New York from Seattle in search of a woman he thinks might be right for his father. The combined relief and desperation as he asks himself more than Jonah whether they haven't been doing all right is something every father can understand.
Chris Gardner, 'The Pursuit of Happyness'
Will Smith and his real-life son shine in this story about Chris Gardner, a devoted single father who went from homelessness to a career as a stockbroker. Deserted by his wife, Gardner has only two things going for him, his dedication to his son and his unquenchable determination to do whatever is necessary to make the best possible life for the two of them. Smith, an enormously charismatic performer and a superb actor, is outstanding here, and the natural chemistry he has with his son translates beautifully to the screen.
Gou-ichi Takata, 'Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles'
Ken Takakura plays a Japanese father who shows his love for his estranged son by completing the son's final project, a filmed version of a Chinese opera, even though he knows nothing about filming, China, or opera. We never find out why Gou-ichi's dying son refuses even to see his father. Gou-ichi himself may not know. But he finds out that his son had promised to return to China to make a movie about an opera called "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles." Gou-ichi's encounters with an inept interpreter, the opera star (who must be released from prison so that he can perform), and a little boy from a remote village help to further illuminate the many facets of fatherhood.

In Diagon Alley
"Enter stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned; beware
Of finding more than treasure there. "
Engraved on the doors of Gringotts Bank
The light of a hundred stars cannot equal the light of the Moon.
