From: Mercurii Dimecres
Aromatherapy: Rosemary Mist
A Summer Treat!
Brace yourself This sense-stimulating mist is a superb post-shower, after you've toweled off but skin is still a bit damp. In spray bottle place 5 ounces distilled water, 1 tsp olive oil, 6 drops rosemary essential oil and 1 sprig fresh rosemary. Shake well to mix -- spritz on as desired.

T'was the night before school started, when all through the town, the parents
were cheering, it was a riotous sound!
By 8, kids were washed, and tucked into bed, when memories of homework filled them with dread!
New pencils, new folders, new notebooks too, new teachers, new friends-their... anxiety grew!
The parents jus...t giggled when they learned of this fright and shouted upstairs- GO TO BED-IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT

DailyOM - The Power of Staying Positive

As Blessed as You Want to Be
The Power of Staying Positive
Positive thinking dramatically increases your chances of success in any endeavor.
Our thoughts are not simply ethereal pieces of information that enter our minds and then disappear. The words and ideas that we think can shape our lives and drive us toward success and happiness or failure and distress. How you think and feel can have a profound effect on your ability to recognize opportunity, how well you perform, and the outcome of the goals that you’ve set for yourself. When you maintain an optimistic outlook and make an effort to harbor only positive thoughts, you begin to create the circumstances conducive to you achieving what you desire. You feel in control and few of life’s challenges seem truly overwhelming because it is in your nature to expect a positive conclusion. An optimistic mind is also an honest one. Staying positive does not mean that you ignore difficulties or disregard limitations. Instead, it means spending time focusing only on the thoughts that are conducive to your well-being and progress.
Positive thinking dramatically increases your chances of success in any endeavor. When you’re sure that you are worthy and that achievement is within your grasp, you start to relax and look for solutions rather than dwelling on problems. You are more likely to imagine positive situations or outcomes and disregard the thoughts related to giving up, failure, or roadblocks. What the mind expects, it finds. If you anticipate joy, good health, happiness, and accomplishment, then you will experience each one. Thinking positively may sound like a simple shift in attention â€" and it is â€" but it is a mind-set that must be developed. Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, try immediately replacing it with a constructive or optimistic one. With persistence, you can condition your mind to judge fleeting, self-defeating thoughts as inconsequential and dismiss them.
It is within your power to become as happy, content, or successful as you make up your mind to be. Staying positive may not have an immediate effect on your situation, but it will likely have a profound and instantaneous effect on your mood and the quality of your experiences. In order for positive thinking to change your life, it must become your predominant mind-set. Once you are committed to embracing positive thinking, you’ll start believing that everything that you want is within your grasp.

What's Happening Today:
St Martha -Despite her reputation as a domestic saint, invoked for help cooking, running a household and maintaining the family peace, she's also a dragon-taming saint (or perhaps those aren't so contradictory). Along with her sister Mary and brother Lazarus, she later went to Marseilles, where she is honored on May 24 as one of the Three Maries. Her body was discovered at Tarascon in France where a magnificent church was erected in her honor. Both Tarascon and the herb tarragon are derived from the word for dragon. I especially like this charm from a novena to St Martha:
St Martha, I resort to thy aid and protection. As proof of my affection and faith, I offer thee this light, which I shall burn every Tuesday. Comfort me in all my difficulties and through the great favors thou didst enjoy when the Saviour was lodged in thy house. Intercede for my family, that we be provided for in our necessities. I ask of thee, St Martha, to overcome all difficulties as thou didst overcome the dragon which thou hadst at thy feet.

Goddess For Today: Voluspa Icelandic Festival
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Jul 28, 2011 8:26 pm (PDT)
Goddess For Today: Voluspa
Icelandic Festival
Theme: Foresight; History; Perspective; Divination; Time
Symbols: Stories or Storybooks
About Voluspa: An old festival in Iceland known as the Isledingadagurinn preserves Voluspa's energy by recounting local heritage and custom in public forum including theater, singing, writing and costumes.
For our adaptation, I suggest taking out or working on a family tree, or perhaps a personal journal. Read over the chronicles of people from your ethnic background and honor their lives in some appropriate manner (perhaps by lighting a candle). Voluspa lives in these moments and at any time that we give ourselves to commemorating the past.
Alternatively, get out some good storybooks and read! Turn off the TV for a while and enrich your imagination with the words of the bards who keep Voluspa's power alive in the world. Especially read to children, so they can learn of this Goddess of Wonders.

Release Bad Spending Habits Spell

Release Bad Spending Habits Spell
Incense of the day: Evergreen
Azna, the mother goddess, is here to aid us
no matter what our troubles may be. Azna carries a golden sword that she uses to draw negative energy from us. Petition Azna for relief from
your bad spending habits, saying:
Mother God, I cannot control my spending
habits. Take them from me. Instill within me the knowledge of what to
do. I ask you to take the pressure from me with your sword.
Visualize Azna lowering her sword to draw all of the negative energy away from you. Go forth knowing you no longer
need to fret.

LAMMAS: The First Harvest
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Jul 28, 2011 8:29 pm (PDT)
LAMMAS: The First Harvest
Once upon a Lammas Night
When corn rigs are bonny,
Beneath the Moon's unclouded light,
I held awhile to Annie...
Although in the heat of a Mid-western summer it might be difficult to discern, the festival of Lammas (Aug 1st) marks the end of
summer
and the beginning of fall. The days now grow visibly shorter and by the
time we've reached autumn's end (Oct 31st), we will have run the gamut
of temperature from the heat of August to the cold and (sometimes) snow
of November. And in the midst of it, a perfect Mid-western autumn.
The history of Lammas
is as convoluted as all the rest of the old Folk holidays. It is of
course a cross-quarter day, one of the four High Holidays or Greater
Sabbats of Witchcraft, occurring 1/4 of a year after Beltane. However,
British Witches often refer to the astrological date of Aug 6th as Old
Lammas, and folklorists call it Lammas O.S. ('Old Style'). This date has long been considered a 'power point' of the Zodiac, and is symbolized
by the Lion, one of the 'tetramorph' figures found on the Tarot cards,
the World and the Wheel of Fortune (the other three figures being the
Bull, the Eagle, and the Spirit). Astrologers know these four figures as the symbols of the four 'fixed' signs of the Zodiac, and these
naturally align with the four Great Sabbats of Witchcraft.
Christians have adopted the same
iconography to represent the four gospel-writers. 'Lammas' was the
medieval Christian name for the holiday and it means 'loaf-mass', for
this was the day on which loaves of bread were baked from the first
grain harvest and laid on the church altars as offerings. It was a day
representative of 'first fruits' and early harvest.
In Irish Gaelic, the feast was referred to as 'Lugnasadh', a feast to commemorate the funeral games of the Irish sun-god Lugh.
However,
there is some confusion on this point. Although at first glance, it may
seem that we are celebrating the death of the Lugh, the god of light
does not really die (mythically) until the autumnal equinox. And indeed,
if we read the Irish myths closer, we discover that it is not Lugh's
death that is being celebrated, but the funeral games which Lugh hosted
to commemorate the death of his foster- mother, Taillte. That is why the
Lugnasadh celebrations in Ireland are often called the 'Tailltean
Games'.
The time went by with careless heed
Between the late and early,
With small persuasion she agreed
To see me through the barley...
One
common feature of the Games were the 'Tailltean marriages', a rather
informal marriage that lasted for only 'a year and a day' or until next
Lammas. At that time, the couple could decide to continue the
arrangement if it pleased them, or to stand back to back and walk away
from one another, thus bringing the Tailltean marriage to a formal
close. Such trial marriages (obviously related to the Wiccan
'Handfasting') were quite common even into the 1500's, although it was
something one 'didn't bother the parish priest about'. Indeed, such
ceremonies were usually solemnized by a poet, bard, or shanachie (or, it
may be guessed, by a priest or priestess of the Old Religion).
Lammastide was also the traditional time of year for craft festivals. The medieval guilds would create elaborate displays of
their wares, decorating their shops and themselves in bright colors and ribbons, marching in parades, and performing strange,
ceremonial plays and dances for the entranced onlookers. The atmosphere must have been quite similar to our modern-day
Renaissance Festivals, such as the one celebrated in near-by Bonner Springs, Kansas, each fall.
A
ceremonial highlight of such festivals was the 'Catherine wheel'.
Although the Roman Church moved St. Catherine's feast day all around the
calendar with bewildering frequency, it's most popular date was Lammas.
(They also kept trying to expel this much-loved saint from the ranks of
the blessed because she was mythical rather than historical, and
because her worship gave rise to the heretical sect known as the
Cathari.) At any rate, a large wagon wheel was taken to the top of a
near-by hill, covered with tar, set aflame, and ceremoniously rolled
down the hill. Some mythologists see in this ritual the remnants of a
Pagan rite
symbolizing the end of summer, the flaming disk
representing the sun-god in his decline. And just as the sun king has
now reached the autumn of his years, his rival or dark self has just
reached puberty.
Many commentators have bewailed the fact that
traditional Gardnerian and Alexandrian Books of Shadows say very little
about the holiday of Lammas, stating only that poles should be ridden
and a circle dance performed. This seems strange, for Lammas is a
holiday of rich mythic and cultural associations, providing endless
resources for liturgical celebration.
Corn rigs and barley rigs,
Corn rigs are bonny!
I'll not forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie!

Zuni "Song of the Blue Corn Dance"
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Thu Jul 28, 2011 8:30 pm (PDT)
The summer clouds are beautiful,
yes they are. Yes, they are.
The summer clouds are like flowers,
yes they are. Yes, they are.
The clouds blossom in the sky,
yes they do. Yes, they do.
The blossoming clouds are coming here,
yes they are. Yes, they are.
~ Zuni "Song of the Blue Corn Dance"
Summer is, indeed, a beautiful season. Yet it is also a busy one. Vacations, social engagements,
outdoor concerts, and the usual press of work and laundry and errands and....
Summer whirls by. It is July already, when May seems to have been yesterday. How can we enjoy
our lives when they are led at such a pace? What will you remember of this summer? If you are too
tired to watch a firefly on a sultry night, too busy to notice that a favorite flower has bloomed, too much
in transit to enjoy conversation with a friend - what will you have to hold, to treasure, in winters to come?
For we cannot savor what we rush through. Let some things slide this summer. Don't worry about them.
You will never remember if you did the laundry and you will never forget the fragrance of new roses.
