Mabon

As promised, here is a picture of my Mabon Altar. I took this before I started. The 'cake and ale' weren't on the Altar yet. :)

 

Mabon

I hope everyone has a Blessed Mabon / Autumn Equinox. :) I had a lovely day. I took pictures of my Mabon altar. I will post them here soon.

I hope your Ostara / Spring Equinox

was as wonderful as mine! :) I spent the earlier part of the day helping a friend pack up boxes. (She is moving) Then, I went home and sat in the yard and enjoyed the nice breeze and sunshine. I watched the birds at the bird feeder for a bit. I got up and collected some Daffodils and other flowers to put on my Altar. Here is a picture of my Ostara / Full Moon Altar:


I combined Ostara and Full Moon since the next night was the full moon! :)

Samhain 2007

Blessed Be! I hope everyone has a wonderful Samhain / Halloween. I did! :) I'll post pictures of my Samhain altar up soon.

Welcome Autumn!

Blessed Mabon! I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Sorry for the long absence!

Blessed Ostara! Welcome to Spring! ^_______^ I hope everyone had a great day.

Imbolc

A little information about Imbolc for the nice reply I had to my last post.

Imbolc symbolizes the return of light. It is the point of the year when we welcome the returning light and look forward to the spring and the coming warmth. To quote from Wicca For One by Raymond Buckland,

"Imbolc or Oimelc, is basically an early spring festival. it is a time to prepare for teh new season; it is a time of new opportunities. This was teh occasion for the old Feast of Torches. At sunset people would light lamps or candles in every room of the house, honoring the sun's rebirth."

As for me, I had a nice Imbolc circle and then went through the house and lit up every room. On previous years, I would light a electric 'candle' in the window all night.

Imbolc is one of the four major Sabbats of the Witches' Year. There are eight Sabbats in all. Four major and four minor. The next up is Ostara or the Spring Equinox. Imbolc falls on February 2 (the same day as groundhog day in the US)

I'm not really great at explaining things, but I hope this clears it up a little! :)

Blessed Yule!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and Blessed Yule!

Samhain 2006

I took two pictures of this years Samhain altar. One is with the lights out and the candles glowing. The other is in the light so you can actually see what is on my altar. :P Enjoy!

If you are curious and want to know about anything on it, just ask. ^_^ Happy Witches' New Year!

Lammas Circle

Last night I went to my friend Tina's house to have a Lammas circle. Tina, Jane, Mako, and myself held a nice Lammas circle. We are all Solitaries, but we sometimes get together on Sabbats for circle / ritual. Last night was really hot. We usually do circle around the fire pit, but last night it was only there 'symbolically'. None of us wanted any extra heat. :p

Blessed Lammas to you all!

Summer Solstice

Last night I went out to my friend's house to celebrate Summer Solstice. We had a very nice circle for our celebration. We had 12 people for circle. It was great. We are all Solitaries, but sometimes on Sabbats we get together and circle up.

During circle we sent healing energy to friends of ours who had been in a car wreck this past weekend. After circle, we had yummies. Everyone brought something. We had a pizza, chopped veggies, dip, tortilla chips, potato salad, watermelon, cantelope, and oatmeal cookies. Everything was good. (Well, I didn't eat any pizza cause it had icky stuff on it but.. lol ) The oatmeal cookies were my contribution and everyone raved about them. ^______^ It made me feel good.

It was a really good night. A nice Summer Solstice!

Samhain 2005

I think as my first Wicca related post, I'll post a picture of my Samhain 2005 Altar. I set up a little bigger than I normally do. After all, Samhain, to me, is the most important Sabbat in the Witch's year. Here is the picture:

I'll probably post more pictures in the future.
