Shape shifting is NOT

Gypsy, What's in a magickal name?

My mothers family came from Egypt.
Solomon
They were wealthy, educated
They were the "elite"
Why they left their beloved Egypt
I will never know for sure.
They traveled to Europe
eventually settling in Romania.
For all their money & education they were
looked down upon.
They were "Dirty" people
They were called Gypsies
For my great grandparents this word was filled with Hate.

Many People in the craft today choose magickal names.
Sometimes these names have significance to other
cultures, other peoples.
When choosing a name do you give thought to the culture
from where it came?
Before You choose that Native American name
or call yourself Gypsy,
Remember the power of Word & choose wisely
We are the voice of our Ancestors.
May we have the Wisdom to respect those that came before us

Cleansing Power of the Balsamic Moon

Today, The Balsamic Moon arrived.
The last Balsamic Moon of the Summer,
Gracing us with an opportunity for cleansing &
release before the arrival of Autumn.

Soon we will begin our decent into the
dark half of the year.
The balsamic moon grants us one last opportunity
to "lighten" our load
To rid ourselves of habits that
Do not serve us well
To rid ourselves of people who may not belong
on our journey
To rid ourselves of ideas & thoughts that hinder our growth

This cleansing makes way for the abundance
we will need to carry us through the Winter Season
May you use the power of the Balsamic Moon wisely

Meditations, Messages under The Full Moon

Last Tuesdays Full Moon was for me,
A time of meditation.
A time of preparing incense & tinctures

It was also a time to communicate with My Lady
I asked what lessons She would like me to focus on
I asked what wisdom is to be shared

In this time,
In this sacred space
The words come
The message suddenly clear
She has been speaking to me of Earth
Season of change upon us
We move from the element of Water
And connect with the element of Earth

For in the temples we danced
Bare feet upon sacred ground
And on our feet anointed with oils
anklets, charms
the rhythm of temple bells
And our dance was a joyful one
Each step Her rhythm rising within
Her blood the pulse of the land
We felt Her then
We knew
We were wise
