Samhain reflections

Published by Pagan of the Wildwoods under , , , on 8:33 PM
So I'm just sitting here having a few quiet moments with my alter.

The lights are dim, the incense is going and I've got a candle lit.

I'm really focusing on what this time of year brings about in me - that is to say a lot of reflection...

I look at this part of the year coming up to Samhain as the start of the new year it's where I mark my year of study /end of practice.

I was initiated  so to speak at Samhain in 2005 ( or was it 2006) and each time this year comes around I feel really energized magically, I feel "really into it" in a different way than in the summer I feel very very connected to my spirituality in the summer but this is it's a different flavour of connectivity... I like it.
Even though, I I look at this time of year as it's coming up close on the time when my mother passed away and that can be a rough period of the year... I still love it.

Beltaine Altar

Just a quick as a bunny update with a look at my new Beltaine altar setup before I head off to work.


Yes... that is a penis made of stones... BELTAINE!

Ostara Altar!

Published by Pagan of the Wildwoods under , , on 7:14 PM
Hey lookie lookie I made a video about re-doing my altar for the coming Sabbat Ostara!

I actually posted it the other day but neglected to throw it up here as well.




It's the first of what will be a series of videos I'll post both to my youtube channel and here to give some cohesion to my rantings online.

Cheers!

Better late than...

Well… where to start?

I'm not very happy with myself. I suppose that's as good a place as any to start this off - I had settled on a post every Sunday and I missed last week (and nearly this week, just a little late)

This weekend marked my 8th anniversary with Rhi.
What does that have to do with my path? Getting to that in just a moment!

We decided to change it up this year and go shopping downtown together and pick things out we liked and the other would “buy” it for them. 
Among my gifts were two things I specifically picked out for my altar: 
A cute little hand carved & painted wooden skull


And a beautiful sandstone vase with a salamander on it


And Rhi is the proud owner of a hand painted sugar skull cabinet


As you can see these gifts have found pretty great homes on our altars. I like that we were able to blend a bit more of our spiritual relationship in with the anniversary this year.
