How to make a 'Working' Candle
A working candle is a candle that is lit and used during magickal rituals,
studying, writing, crafting, etc.
Items Needed:
1 Tea Light Candle and 1 White Pillar Candle
Sea Salt
An incense of your choice (I use Dragon's Blood)
Moon Water / Holy Water
Herbs of your choice (I use sea salt, dry white sage, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, etc)
Pestle and Mortar
Essential Oil(s) *optional
Small amount of Olive Oil
A piece of Wax Paper
Light the tea light candle and the incense. As you do so, envision white light, peace and good intent emitting from the flame of the tea light candle and the smoke of the incense.
Place the pillar candle in the center of your altar or on a counter top, again, envision white light, peace and good intent going 'into' the candle.
Sprinkle sea salt on top of the candle in a Deosil (clockwise) direction and say:
"By salt you are cleansed"
Pick up the pillar candle and pass the it over the flame of the tea light candle and say:
"By fire may your flame be eternal"
Now, pass the pillar candle threw the smoke of the incense and say:
"By air may you be inspired"
Place the pillar candle back in the center of your altar/counter top and sprinkle moon water/holy water on top of the candle and say:
"By water may you be Blessed"
You can also carve your name, words, symbols, sigils, etc into the candle.
Ex: Love, Magick, Healing, Inspiration, A Pentagram, etc.
Grind your herbs of choice in a pestle and mortar, grind them into a fine powder as well as possible. Again, envision white light, peace and good intent being infused into the herbs.
Starting at the base of the pillar candle, rub some olive oil on the candle in an upward direction, making sure that you coat the entire candle well.
Place a piece of wax paper on your altar/counter top. Now put your powdered herbs on top of the wax paper. Roll the olive oil coated pillar candle back and forth in the dried herbs, coating the outside and top of the pillar candle with as much of the dried herbs as possible.
Now place the pillar candle in it's holder. It is now ready to use.
You can let the tea light candle and the incense burn themselves out if you wish.
When you light your working candle for magickal purposes, say:
"God and Goddess within, God and Goddess without,
Create a circle all about, let love in and keep evil out"

Celebrating the Moon on the Esbats
The Esbats, or Wiccan/Pagan lunar holy days, celebrate the moon's passage around the Earth. The Esbats offer a chance to regularly put aside time to step away from the ordinary world and dedicate time to spiritual reflection or magical work. The approach to the holy days isn't all-inclusive. For each phase of the moon, some groups have particular rituals, and the Esbats can be celebrated by individuals or covens.
Some celebrate an Esbat on the:
· Full Moon
· New Moon
· Full Moon and New Moon
· Full Moon, New Moon, and the Quarter Moons
Some use the word Esbat to describe any Wiccan/Pagan gathering (especially if ritual or magical work takes place) that doesn't occur on a Sabbat.

Celebrating the Sun on the Sabbats
Wiccan/Pagan holidays, or Sabbats, are timed to the seasons and the Earth's natural rhythms. Sabbats celebrate the Earth's journey around the sun, called the Wheel of the Year, and Wiccans refer to commemorating the Sabbats as Turning the Wheel.
Most celebrate these eight Sabbats annually:
Yule, Winter Solstice: December 20, 21, 22, or 23
Yule is the longest night and the shortest day of the year. Some consider Yule to be either the year's beginning or the end. This is the time to celebrate the return of the light. Yule is the solar turning of the tides, and the newborn Sun offers a fresh start and, literally, a new day. It's a time of renewal and hope.
Imbolc, Brigid, Candlemas, Imbolg, or Brigid's Day: February 1 or 2
Brigid, or Imbolc, is a preparation for spring. At Brigid, we clean and organize their living environments, as well as their minds and hearts, in preparation for the upcoming season of growth. It's a time to shake off the doldrums of late winter and light the fires of creativity and inspiration.
Ostara, Eostar, Spring Equinox, or Oestarra: March 20, 21, 22, or 23
Winter is now over. Light is increasing. The day and night are equal in length at the equinox. Spring has arrived or is coming soon. Eostar is the time of fertility, birth, and renewal. The ice is thawing, and the growing season for plants and animals begins. Growth is the theme of the day.
Beltane, May Eve, Beltaine, Bealtaine, or May Day: April 30 or May 1
Beltane is the time of the marriage and union of the Goddess as Mother Earth and the God of the Greenwood. It is an ancient fertility festival marking the beginning of the planting cycle. The festival was to ensure a good growing season and a bountiful harvest. Beltane is light-hearted and joyful.
Litha, Summer Solstice, or Midsummer: June 20, 21, 22, or 23
Litha is the longest day and the shortest night of the year. Light triumphs, but will now begin to fade into darkness as autumn approaches. The crops are planted and growing. The woods and forests have reached their peak fullness. This is the time of abundance for wildlife, including people! The holiday is joyous.
Lammas, or Lughnasad, Lughnasadh: August 1
For the ancient Pagans, Lughnasad was a time of both hope and fear. They held hope for a bountiful harvest and abundant food, but they feared that the harvest wouldn't be large enough and that the cold months would be filled with struggle and deprivation. At Lughnasad, modern Wiccan/Pagans also face their fears, concentrate on developing their own abilities, and take steps to protect themselves and their homes.
Mabon, Fall Equinox, or Harvest Home: September 20, 21, 22, or 23
At Mabon, the day and the night are equal in length, in sublime balance. For many locations, Mabon coincides with the final harvest of grain, fruits, and vegetables. Mabon, also called Harvest Home, is the time of thanksgiving. The beauty and bounty of summer gives way to the desolation of winter, and the darkness overtakes the light.
Samhain, All Hallow's Eve, Hallowmas: October 31 or November 1
For many Samhain marks the New Year and is the most important Sabbat. It's the time to remember the ancestors, and the time to celebrate the harvest and all that has been accomplished over the year.

Moon Phases
The moon affects everything around us, the way we act, the way we think, and the way we handle our emotions. The effects of the moon had been talked about, and joked about, since the Dawn of Time. Phrases like "once in a blue moon" and "full moon special" have been used as an excuse for a wide variety of behavior. Throughout levels to will wind and 301, we will begin tracking our moods and emotions and how they tie into the many different phases of the moon and the astrological sign the moon is in.
The New Moon is the time of initiation and ideas. Now is the time to begin a new project, get a new job, or bring to life that creative idea you’ve been holding on to.
Magickal Correspondences: birth, initiation, new beginnings, honoring oneself
The first quarter of the moon is called the Waxing Moon and is seen becoming larger. In this phase the Goddess is the Maiden. Now is the time of new ideas and new beginnings, of building and growth. This is the time that we focus on bringing things to us, such as a better job, new love, or increased financial security.
Magickal Correspondences: growth, advancement, the start of a new project, positive change
At the Full Moon She is the Mother. Psychic abilities are at their highest. We concentrate on fertility, growth, transformation, fulfillment, love, and power. When there are 2 full moons during a calendar month (this happens every 2 1/2 years), the second moon is called the Blue Moon. This is the time to try something new, something you ordinarily wouldn’t try.
Magickal Correspondences: fertility, growth, transformation, fulfillment, sexuality, maturation, love, power, maximum psychic ability
The last quarter of the moon is called the Waning Moon and is seen getting smaller. Now the Goddess is the Crone and we focus on wisdom, intuition and healing. This is the time to release negative energies, banish harmful thoughts, and release those things that bring harm to us.
Magickal Correspondences: wisdom, endings, release, banishment, intuition, prophecy, divination, old age, deep secrets, the power of healing
The day before the new moon is called the Dark Moon. We use this time for strong protection or defensive work. When there are 2 dark moons in a calendar month, the second dark moon is called the Sidhe Moon. This is the time for deeply personal internal or shadow work.
Magickal Correspondences: banishing, transformation, meditation, divination

Today's Topic is... Living The RV Life
in GYPSY JAX
Posted
In October of last year (2018) my husband and I sold our property/house. We put our stuff into a storage unit, and kept out the things we really needed for living the RV life. It has been an adventure for sure! Going from a 2 bedroom home on 2.23 acres, out in the country....to a 28 foot Fleetwood Southwind RV inside city limits. We were use to hearing coyotes howling, watching the hawks fly overhead, now we hear sirens and the sound of constant traffic. We are very blessed however, and now that we are use to living in an RV, we look forward to more adventures to pass our way.
So my question to you is, would you sell your property/house and move in to an RV?
