Hello everyone! It's New Year's Eve!!! Last year on this day, I was scrambling for different pagan related things to do, and I was at a loss. For anyone who may be experiencing this today, I have a list of ideas made that you can work off of.
*An Offering to Chronos
*Nortia's Board
*Renewal of Spells/Charms Done This Past Year
*A Meditation on Endings & Beginnings
*Releasing Old Problems
*Embracing Challenges Ahead
*etc.
Later tonight, after midnight, I will post here what I did for the holiday!

Pendulum & Cunningham's
Good morning all!
Today, I woke up and to my delight, my pendulum and my copy of Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem, & Metal Magic were here! I tested out the pendulum a couple of times, and it worked a little bit, barely moving, though. But when I held it over the Cunningham, it went crazy. First it moved slowly, but it gradually gained speed moving back and forth over the cover of the book. That was neat. I've never used a pendulum before today. I quite like it!
The pendulum itself is pretty low grade lapis. It has a lot more blue and grey than gold. But that's ok, because it's still beautiful & well-working. Also, a plus: in the picture, it looked like the top bead was clear instead of purple, but it's just light purple! Which makes sense for the crown chakra. I'm very excited to start work on my different methods of pendulum use. I already have a few things planned!

Blessed an Agate, Back to Earthsong
Good morning all!
Last night, I did my agate blessing for protection. Right now, it's steeping in a homemade herbal brew until tonight. I have to tell you, last night was the first time I have done real spell work in a long time, and it felt amazing; just being in tune with the elements, my patron deities, and the divine spirit at my altar for the first time since I had that spiritual crisis last month was enough to make me feel at peace for the rest of the night.
Plans for today are pretty awesome. I get to head back to Earthsong to spend $10! :) There were a couple of things that I put back the other day when I went, so I'm happy for the opportunity to go back. After Earthsong, I'm heading to a friend's house to watch Doctor Who. That's always a plus! Beyond that, I'm not sure what's on the schedule of events.
Once I come home tonight, I will be finishing my agate blessing & starting on the experimental phase of a spell. Til next time!

Earthsong Books & Gifts
Hello everyone!
In my blog, I often mention a store called Earthsong. This post is about that store, so that while reading my blog, you aren't at a complete loss!
At around age 8, sometime after dark one evening, my dad took me with him to a store on a pretty empty stretch of road. I think that we were there to pick up patchouli oil for him; or maybe that's just an assumption I made over time because my father has always worn patchouli, and Earthsong happens to sell it. Anyway, I walked into this store and I was dazzled. There were so many things there that I just loved; boxes filled with stones, fairy statues, candles, spell books, tarot cards, mini crystal balls... amazing things that I'd only ever seen in movies. As dad talked to the woman at the counter, I looked around the store with amazement plainly twinkling in my eyes. This was my first encounter with a store that I would grow to love and bond with.
Over the next few years, I would ask my mom to take me there, and every once in a while she would. Mainly what I bought there were different stones that I thought were pretty. I didn't really visit the store on a normal basis until 2009 when I met my friend Jean-Luc. He'd been going to Earthsong since he was pretty young as well, and he was pagan. Once we became close friends, we started making regular visits to the store together, and often with other mutual friends as well.
I don't make it to Earthsong as much as I'd like to anymore, but hopefully that will be changing soon. I love being inside that building. It always smells of incense, and it has a sort of calmness about it. It's a great place to find spell ingredients and books on the craft as well. They don't just have pagan stuff either. It's a store filled with artifacts from different religions. Earthsong was the first place I ever saw a "Coexist" bumper sticker, and honestly that's what Earthsong is all about: different cultures and religions coexisting in harmony.
I strongly urge people to visit the store! It's an amazing place. (Address beneath photos)

The Night of the Full Moon, Traditionally Known as... the Night of the Full Moon
Hello everyone!
Today, I'm spending time at home in the presence of my craft. Christmas, while an amazing, joyous time of year, is also filled to the brim with people! This year, for about a week now, my Christmas has left me with no alone time at all. That's what today is all about! Also with the full moon being tonight, I have a few spells & rituals planned.
I am going to bless my agate for protection.
Another thing I plan on doing tonight is a tarot exercise my friend Isaac told me about. It's out of a Scott Cunningham book that I actually have in my possession right now. I will be covering the windows in my bedroom, putting me in darkness. Then, I will spread out a tarot deck on my bed in front of me & let my hand guide me to a card. This exercise is to help you figure out what card you most align with.
I'm sure I will be doing other things tonight as well. These are just 2 things I absolutely plan on doing!

Earthsong, Amazon, and the Exclusive Company
Hello all!
Today, Panda & I went on a long journey through tiiiiime and space (the mighty boo-ooosh). We didn't actually spend any time with Vince and Howard, but we did go on a long-ish walk. We went to Taco Bell, Earthsong, and the Exclusive Company, and then we came back to my house.
I brought a list with me to Earthsong, but sadly they were either out or didn't carry a lot of the stones I was looking for. I got a nice-sized piece of agate though, and I needed that! Also, I got a bag of my herb/flower of choice, jasmine, some nag champa incense, a sandalwood/vanilla candle, and some purple, black and grey candles!
At the Exclusive Company, I wasn't going to buy anything. I was there with Panda so that he could get things. But then I saw a sign that said "Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Equal or Lesser Value." Then I saw Season One of Gilmore Girls for $7, and Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire for $7. So I got the 2 of them for $7 all together! Yay!
Once I was home, I logged onto the internet. I was hoping to find a nice pendulum at Earthsong, but there wasn't much of a selection there today. I found one on Amazon, however, that I really like & bought. It's a chakra balancing pendulum with a lapis lazuli point! I won't be getting the exact pendulum from the picture, but it will be very close!
I also found a copy of Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem, & Metal Magic.

I suppose I should say my good night!
