Happy Saturday!

Hello, my friends! Just a couple of holiday happenings - last night I had dinner with my friends Dave and Deb at our local VFW where I recently became a member. I love this place. The people are always very friendly, the atmosphere is pleasant, food is good, and it is a fairly inexpensive place to just chill out with good folks! ...

Tonight I will be attending the Ugly Christmas Sweater event at The Station at Reinholds Inn - should be fun!

Getting ready for Ostara ... and a little holiday humor


As we get closer to Ostara and the Spring Equinox, I have begun to prepare my ritual altar and sacred space.There will be a final Supermoon for this calendar year 2019 this week as well - Wednesday evening March 20th with Ostara (the first day of Spring) and a Full Moon being the same day. I will most probably sit outside in my backyard and enjoy the Supermoon in quiet solitude. And, if I am lucky, I may be able to capture a nice pic or two with my camera if it does not rain. They  are calling for mostly cloudy and some rain here so we shall see. 😒

With the ritual already written and completed, I am halfway finished and ready to go for Aurora and my ritual celebration. As usual, it is always extra special whenever I am able to get together with my sister for these sacred holiday sabbat celebrations. 😁



And finally, a bit of relaxing mood music for Tuesday - and a rare video of Jimmy Page post-Zep performing an instrumental version of Chopin's Prelude n.4 at a charity concert (A.R.M.S.) benefit for  Multiple Sclerosis in 1983. I hope you enjoy!!

Friday odds and ends ...


Happy Friday! Not much planned for the weekend, how 'bout you? We had the snow mix all day yesterday. I think I will just stay in today and clean up the house after clearing off the snow in the driveway and on the cars. We got hit pretty hard for the FAR TOO EARLY first snow fall of the season and we ended up getting about 7 inches in my area followed by sleet and rain as predicted. The roads were horrible, there were accidents everywhere, and I only thank Goddess I did not have to venture out into it. However, I do worry so about my sister and her hubby making a safe trip home from work every time we get a snow storm. 

In other news, I received an email yesterday morning from our dear long-time High Priestess friend of many years, Lady Sabrina Rhiannon regarding her upcoming Yule ritual celebration in December. Both my sister Aurora Skye and I got an invite to join she and her coven as we did this past Samhain. Speaking of Yule, I picked up a really great small electric Himalayan fireplace space heater on sale at a good price at Ollie's Bargain Outlet on Thursday. I plan on using in my altar room this winter ...

Has anyone been watching American Horror Story: Apocalypse and seen the season finale on Wednesday night? This series is a string of stories tied together using the same general actors and actresses and IMO it is either hit or miss with their stories - some really good and some not so much let's just say. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with the ending as much as they built it up the last few episodes. Although it was nice to see yet another cameo by Stevie Nicks, it was truly pointless and added absolutely nothing to the story itself. In this scene, she sang a lovely version of her song, 'Gypsy' on the piano. Have to say it was quite beautiful of course ...

"Hello witches!"
To watch and listen to this version of 'Gypsy' just click here.

Well friends, here is one last Elton John song for the road. Have a good weekend everyone!

Holiday memories are made of this


Happy Sunday, my friends! What is it they say? "The best laid plans "? ... Well, I was originally going to post a couple of 'holiday with the family' posts from today, but as fate would have it, both my husband and my mother-in-law are sick and my own mother is still recovering from a minor foot surgery she had undergone earlier this past week. And so, I have decided to post another one of my 'memories are made of this' posts from my childhood. I will try to take you all through the Easter my brother and I experienced growing up in our house. Since I was not exactly planning this post for today, I was unable to borrow a few old pics from my mom's family photo albums; however, I did find one or two and perhaps I will post some others to use for a 'Throwback Thursday' post in the future. At any rate, here goes ...

Every year, my mother would make these delicious homemade dark chocolate peanut butter eggs and also some coconut cream as well ...

My brother and I would wake up early on Easter Sunday morning to see our Easter baskets on the kitchen table. Stuffed in the artificial grass inside our baskets were lots of goodies such as these ...




And, every single year we each had our own large plastic egg which my mother re-used in which the "Easter Bunny" would place a little gift or toy inside for us. These plastic eggs were placed in the middle of our individual baskets. Mine was pink and my brothers was purple. Mine looked much like this one but it had  pretty painted flowers on the top half ...


My plastic egg usually had a little stuffed animal inside. These are two of the toys I had (yes, I am sentimental and still have these toys from my childhood). I saved them all these years and still keep in a special box up in my attic ...


My Easter dress! (1971)
My brother (don't ya just love my mom's sexy legs in the background of this pic? LOL)

After that, my mother made sure we were dressed and ready to go to church service from 7AM to 10AM. I, of course, wore my purple dress my mother bought me for the occasion. After service, we would either spend the rest of the day eating a homemade family Easter dinner at my nana's (grandmother's) house or she would spend the day at our house ...

An old pic of my brother, Kerry, my mom and my nana (posing with my parents then black poodle named  "Fifi" and her two white poodles "Suzette" and "Bon Bon") taken outside in my nana's back yard on Easter day - 1969.

 Well, that about wraps it up for my old childhood memory. Wishing everyone a very joyous Sunday however you and your family choose to spend it!
