I’m sitting here watching the snow fall softly and gently but in great amounts! We’ve gotten about 4 inches so far with the possibility of another 5 inches or so. Tomorrow it will be very windy with drifting snow. It is Mother Nature in all her glory! Perhaps this is the last blast of Winter before Spring rears her lovely head. I love days like this when I don’t have to go out..I can sit by the fire, drink my coffee, listen to good music, read, knit or work on projects around the house. I’m going to make it a blessed day.
My sister Teagan has come early today..brought by her hubby in his 4 wheel drive. You see, my oldest daughter was injured in a terrible car accident 21 years ago at the age of 6. She is paralyzed and breathes with the help of a ventilator so she required some nursing care. My sister and my other daughter also help me take care of her. When the weather is bad, I can’t count on the nurses to get here, so Teagan came to help me. She’ll be here at least today and tomorrow and is spending the night “just in case”! Thank Goddess I have her to help. We enjoy our days together working on our Book of Shadows, knitting, reading etc.
I have done a Storm protection spell to try to keep the storm from doing any damage or the power going out! I really hate when the power goes out. With my daughter relying on a machine to breathe we need power. She has batteries that keep her running for about 12 hours but then we must be able to charge her back up again. Two years ago we spent 9 days in a hotel because of a huge power outage…not that much fun!
Today I’m going to start working on the Correspondences for the days of the week. I’m getting the info from Ellen Dugan’s book “Book of Witchery”. The information is amazing and so helpful…it will be nice to know how specifically I can make each day magickal..from what color I wear, what incense I burn, what I do at my altar, crystals, candles etc etc. I love it! Practicing my Path everyday helps me to feel centered and connected to Goddess and God. Makes me very happy.
I love music..all kinds…and my Ipod is one of my favorite possessions. Today we are listening to celtic music.. I especially love Secret Garden, Loreena McKennitt and Enya. Celtic Woman is also wonderful.. I highly recommend them to you. Beautiful voices, beautiful meaningful songs. Perfect for a day like today.
Well, stay warm and stay safe bloggers. If you visit me, live a comment..would love to know about you too and how you found me.
Blesses Be, Autumn
I am so grateful to have you all in my life and the days we get to spend together working on our many Crafts are blessed days indeed. We don’t get a lot of big winter storms but when we do we get to make the best of them. Just in case here is a kiss and a wink to the Goddess of the power grid.
Bless the Goddess..the power stayed on! We enjoy those days too..Love
