Readings by GrannyMoon ~ In-Depth - $25.00 and $10.00 Mini Tarot Readings - Personal Numerology Work $15.00 Gift Certificates Also Available Goddessschool/tarot.html Todays Goddess: Boldogasszony Hungarian Wedding Themes: Winter; Love; Romance; Relationships; Devotion; Purity; Fertility Symbol: Milk. About Boldogasszony: This Hungarian mother and guardian goddess watches diligently over her children, wanting only the best for them, as any mother would. Her sacred beverage, milk, is also considered a suitable libation when asking for this Goddesss blessing. To Do Today: Hungarian wedding festivals often take place in winter, after the harvest season and meat preparation. The traditions here are laden with magick we can borrow for building strong personal relationships, asking for Boldogasszonys blessing by having a cup of milk present at any activity. For example, cutting a rope that is attached to your home symbolizes your release from the old ways and freedom to enter into a commitment. Stepping across birch wood purifies intentions and ensures a fertile, happy union. Lighting a torch (or candle) represents vigilant devotion in a relationship. Do this at the time of your engagement, as you recite vows, or as you both enter a new residence for the first time so that commitment will stay with you. Wherever you are, eating off each others plates and drinking from one cup deepens harmony (include a milk product like cheese). Finally, dancing with kitchen utensils ensures that the home fires will always be warm )0( From 365 Goddess by Patricia Telesco and GrannyMoons Morning Feast Archives Healing Arts and Pagan Studies ~ Perfume Your Lingerie When hand washing your special lingerie try adding 1 drop of your favorite essential oil to the final rinse water .

From Witches_Moon )0( From: GrannyMoon’s Morning Feast Archives Healing Arts and Pagan Studies ~ Protection Circle Spell If you are having bad dreams or are otherwise ill-at-ease, light a candle and walk around your bed clockwise three times while chanting this prayer: May the compassion of the three Shield me in my need... From hate, from harm, from act, from ill. Immediately, blow out the candle and go to bed. You should rest much easier. By: Therese Francis )0( From: GrannyMoon’s Morning Feast Archives The Goddess Companion The snow is drifting as I sing to you. The sun and moon shine on the snow. They shine for you, they shine for me. They shine for all who honor the season. ~Ojibwa Song There is a special beauty about winter. Other seasons have their beauties, each unique to itself. But none have the brisk clarity of a winters day when snow softens shadows and outlines each trees form. Our cheeks tingle with the crisp weather, and our breath clouds out in front of us. The world changes so much as it passes through its seasons. Each has day and night, brightness and darkness. Rocks and mountains, rivers and oceans remain in place no matter what the season. Yet how different they can be! We, too, change over time, yet we remain deeply consistent. We cannot change into someone else, but in our different seasons we may seem to be another person. Our goal in life is to become more ourselves, more fully the person we were meant to be. )0( By Patricia Monaghan ~ From The Goddess Companion and GrannyMoons Morning Feast amazon/exec/obidos/ASIN/1567184634/ancestordetect08 GrannyMoon is Founder and Mother High Priestess of GoddessSchool, Sisters of the Burning Branch, dedicated to the Feminine Divine, which is celebrating its 14th year!

It transfers energy, and gives the person hugged an emotional boost. You need four hugs a day for survival, eight for maintenance, and twelve for growth. A hug makes you feel good. The skin is the largest organ we have and it needs a great deal of care. A hug can cover a lot of skin and gives the message that you care. It is also a form of communication. It can say things you dont have words for. The nicest thing about a hug is that you usually cant give one without getting one. Need a hug? Or know someone that does?
