Albuquerque Pagan Pride Day!!

September 30th was our annual Pagan Pride Day. I went late and left early cause I had a sick kiddo at home and didn't want to leave her alone that long with grandma, especially since she was starting to feel under the weather as well. But we had a great time and it has gotten so huge. I remember the very first one. It took up one corner of the park. No stage, kids corner, altar set up in the middle and maybe like 6-7 vendors. Now there were two stages one at each end of the park, took up the entire space of the park, nurses station, bathrooms, kids corner like always, petting zoo, and like 20 vendors. And food too!!!!! It's so neat to see how it's grown in the last 5 years. Love and Light to all my tree loving friends out there.......................

Me and my girls at PPD!

One of the many belly dancers with her partner. The big snake, lol!!!!

This guy was just chilling with his owl in the middle of everything.

School Shopping

So we had a failed attempt for school shopping the other day. We could not find anything the girls needed but in the middle of everything we needed to sit down and recharge with some good eats. And of course it never hurts to top it all off with a chocolate chip cookie that is the size of your head!!! LOL....hope everyone had a great day today.
Love and Light....

Yes I'm a HOT WITCH!!!

LOL, yep cause it's gotten to 107 degrees where I live.
Ugh so strange I was born and raised in the desert and I've never liked the heat. I can see a big change in our Mother Gaia as it has never been this hot for so many days straight and gotten there so fast. Our winters here are colder. No snow but last year we got a lot of freezes and I have never seen that before.
Even at 8pm it's still very hot. My honey works nights and gets home around 4:30am and we have to water then or at 9pm. Either way we are doing it in the dark.
4th of July is coming up and that is my mothers birthday and we are trying to think how to pull off her being comfortable and cool while having a bbq. Sheesh I just dont know.
Well whatever your plans are I wish everyone a fun and safe 4th please watch your fireworks/embers cause our mother earth cannot afford to have more fires going on then she already does. And lets send some good energy out there to help all who have been affected by these forest fires.
Love and Light.......

Last weeks full moon.

Well last weeks full moon was the first Esbat where I did not do any ritual but the energy I got was crazy good and creative. So I ended up working in my BOS, made candles in orange peels and sea shells. Made dream pillows with my oldest daughter, organizing my herbal shelf, made a new working candle and we did make wishes with our flying wish paper. If you don't know of flying wish paper or have never done it I highly recommend it. Especially if you have young ones. I buy it at my local metaphysical book store but I've seen it at book stores and you can order it online. I will even put a video I found on YouTube so you can see what I'm talking about. I will also add pics of that nights house happenings.

And the following day was Venus in transit but sadly we missed it cause we had a family appointment which was at the same exact time as the event but I've seen a few pics and vids of the transit and what a wonderful sight. I did find one pic of it that I really like.

So all and all not to much to say. I'm looking for a job again and have a few interviews coming up, wish me luck. I figured since the baby will be in school mama needs to keep herself busy so I don't feel so lonely throughout my day. Oh how fast they grow. 

Well that's it for now friends.

Love and Light.....

Below is a video link on You Tube of FlyingWish Paper. Go check it out.

Venus in Transit, LOL........I love this pic!!

My two helpers. Helped with my BOS and candle making. 

My new working candle with lavender, glitter, rose petals and I hand carved moon and star. 

Well I wanted to show you the orange and seashell candles and the dream pillows but my upload is being a butt, lol. So maybe I add it later. Hope everyone has an awesome week ahead. Blessings.....

Catching Up....

So looking over my blog I noticed there were many events/memories that I did not blog about. So this one will be a catch up blog so if its a little long I'm sorry. I think there will be more pics than anything, lol.

First I noticed nothing was said about my Ostara. It was quiet and lovely. I made Ostara baskets for my two daughter and my mom. We colored eggs and ate a ton of candy. We left the dinner for Easter as I'm trying to accommodate my moms beliefs as well plus that is how I was raised so we honor both Pagan and Christian holidays in my home.

Below is a pic of our Ostara table.....

Next is a couple of pics of my youngest with her Ostara basket. She's funny, after she got it she said she couldn't wait for her Easter basket. I told her she got an Ostara basket and that was it. She turns and tells me "No that basket was from the Goddess, I'm waiting for the one from the bunny now." Oh boy kids........

Next was Beltane and the super moon. We had a lovely time but both of the girls did go home sick. They came down with a 24 hour flu bug. But the sabbat and super moon where still filled with magic. Below is a picture of my personal altar at home and the Maypole at the Beltane celebration.

Super moon pictures. Sorry camera cell phones don't do it justice at all but I'm happy I got a few pics of it.

Oh yeah and back tracking even further to Earth Day. We all went to IHOP for an extra early breakfast and we all ordered the Lorax breakfast and planted our seeds they gave us that day. Now after all these years I can finally say I ate green eggs and ham. Yay!!

That's it folks. I think I'm all caught up for now, lol. Thanks for tuning in. Blessed Be!

This weekend...

I found this article and now so excited for this weekend. Here in my neck of the woods our Beltane celebration will be held this weekend at the Tijeras Mountains in New Mexico. So I'm so excited to be able to dance around the bale fire with my family, friends and loved ones then to have this going on at the same time. Hooray!!!! I'm so excited I cant wait.

Love and Light.........

Biggest ‘Supermoon’ Phenomenon on May 5, 2012

‘Supermoon’ is a situation when the moon is slightly (about 50.000 km) closer to Earth in its orbit than on average, at least from our perspective on Earth. On May 5, the moon will appear about 14% larger and 30% brighter.

The ‘Supermoon’ could cause tides to rise around the world as the moon’s close ‘fly past’ exerts 42% more tidal force. But this is nothing to worry about, according to America’s NOAA space-weather predicting agency. In most places, lunar gravity at perigee pulls tide waters only a few centimeters (an inch or so) higher than usual.

Not all ‘Supermoons’ are the same powerful, neither by the intensity nor by the duration of their effect. It has caused many discussions in scientific circles about the full moon on May 5, 2012 which is going to be one of the most powerful in years.

‘Supermoon’ is often associated with massive natural disasters, as well as social uprisings,has made Nasa create a video that explains what is going to happen on 5 and 6 May, 2012.

The best time to look is when the Moon is near the horizon. That is when illusion mixes with reality to produce a truly stunning view.

Mirror, Mirror Official Trailer - Julia Roberts, Lily Collins Movie (...

So tonight was me and my girls night out. We decided to go see Mirror, Mirror.
I must say it was cute, funny and we enjoyed this movie.
In the beginning it seemed as if it was going to be one of those "roll your eyeballs how stupid is this" kind of movie. But to our pleasant surprise it was awesome.
Really cheered all of us up as me never feeling to well, my oldest just fighting with her boyfriend and my youngest mad cause she had to brush her hair put us all in a happy, loving family type of mood. Topped the night off with some Subway sandwiches for dinner then came home and relaxed.
So for anyone looking for a warm, fuzzy, family oriented movie, especially if you have a inner child yourself I highly recommend going and seeing this movie.
And hey in a couple of more weeks it will probably be at the dollar theaters so if your low on funds just wait a bit and see it then.
Okay hope everyone has a magical weekend.

Love and Light......

Trying to get on my feet...

Oh boy this last six months have been chaos with my health. In and out of the ER, clinics, doctor offices, etc....yup my health has not been at 100 percent. I'm okay as of right now, just needing to have some tests done and I'm sure everything will turn out fine but it's a hard thing to stay happy, positive and spiritual while going through a health mess. It mess' with your brain. 


But this past new moon fell at the same time as the meteor shower. So very quietly my hubby and I got some blankets along with some hot tea and sneaked outside to watch the show. It was a beautiful show. We even might have seen a possible UFO. All I know is we could not figure out what it was flying around up there. Any who that was exactly what I needed to get back on my feet and try to feel better.

I'm going to attempt to go back to my zumba and yoga classes and start getting ready for BELTANE!!! I'm so excited for this year's celebration. My whole family is going and we will be camping out all weekend long. Hopefully my youngest and my teen will not kill each other, lol. 


Well just wanted to give a quick little line on whats going on with me. Until next time my dears.


Love and Light,
Mel
