Blessings !

I'm in chock , what is wrong with TV networks, they just start "Camelot" my favorite show, and the new show was an old one, come on. We need new material every week. My Merlin is so mysterious man , I can't wait every week for the show, and they are doing re-runs .
That is just me and my " witches" side effect , I need medieval' s shows so I can see, what is was in the old days!, The druids, their teaching, the craft , the magic... Oh dear Goddess ! We dream of a place where all man kind has a power for their highest good, where the magic is well use. Herbs grow in every garden. A witch has honor.Yes that is what went wrong in history , the respect. I'm reading one of my historical books , about Salem Ma. Woman where kill just because, man fear their power, what is wrong in that picture? a lot. I always tough that if I was a living on those days , they will never find me , because I will be gone before they come, well is not that easy when we got family, and that is why ! Most woman didn't run away! They took their fate and let every thing take their course, for their family.

So sad to read all those things that mark a part in history, not history it was Hysteria !! People goes crazy about any thing. Another book that I read " Green witch" a kids book by Alice Hoffman , one of my all times favorite writers ! . Green is such good girl and that pain she sees in all these manic " religious people" makes her to write and write on her body! well their goes some pain in form of a tattoo . Spells that is what some of us write in our book our body our heart inside or out. Spells of blessings to our family's, happy life, good health,gardening, cooking spells, bath spells. And at the end is all about Family! Yes that is the sad part , those woman where just simple mind woman, taking care of their kids home, farm ,animals, all those shores they could give to some one else. They where not high society , if you where high end chic, you wouldn't be consider a witch! According to my book" Devil in the shape of a woman" Only low class people where witches! How is that , well I got news for them, witches are in every group and at every social life's style thanks Goddess for that. So lets keep putting our spells out there , that never ever these event should ever happen. Protection spells are my kind of thing, I put them every where I can, on home , my kids , my parents, My man, myself!!Blessing for all my witches friends out there on these world, blessings !! . On my B-day a friend give me these blessing and today I m giving it to all of you.... "May all your spells come true"

And we did have a nice dinner at his place, just like a perfect couple! I have being marry for 20 years these year to my Mr Big!!! I did called him that way of course back on the day of sex in the city!. Some of friends even did call him the same way. But I have being with my other husband David for 15 years, so happy he is in my life. Sometimes he forgets about me, rude that is so rude, but at the end he always comes back to me. Now my real man Andy, poor guy, he thinks we are just a bunch of loony's. He always tells people ;the story about when our little Ashley she was maybe 4or less, ask why I was going out with David, Andy did the good Daddy talk about why he was my very best friend! And why it was ok for me to be out with David !that was the first time she understood so many things !!! Ashley adores David, she knows who was her walking teacher on high heels !! He will said " Ashley walk these way, look at me Ashley. SO many funny things in our lives that it makes us the best!

May day is almost here and I'm still running around , trying to get my altar ready!. I put flowers today, spring flowers are the best! so many to choose from. I will enjoy the day by myself, these is my promise to myself. I need to get some time to myself and talk to my Goddess about all the blessings she has given to me. One year and so many changes! my head is still spinning from all those changes . But I m" doing the doing", just like Julia Cameron said. Just do your work and the Goddess will add her magic.And after so many years of people in and out of my life ! , my two man !!! are still with me, Thanks Goddess!!

Beautiful day to be outdoors,I like any fair , just to see all the different artist!/ Every town got its own. These was by the water! suffers town,and everybody and their Mother brought their dog out!. I never take my crazy barkers out, no way Jose! they will run down the town. So It was me and my boys and Dad!. I kind of trick him!! Told him " go and see how they do their fair. My Man, has to do our street fair in our town(Volunteer president)And 50.000, people that lives ,just down the st from us, now you know why is California ,nobody knows their next door neighbor , so many people.
So we got there, we got a bag of kettle corn! sweet thing to much while we walk up and down! Crazy rides they have in their, crazy food that looks so good ! but it will kill your arteries later too.
The town got so many cute little boutiques , tiny shops, their was spiritual readings too!! And for free! I was thinking "that is lot of work1 readings after readings, I have done that at party ( I did the party), no thank you ,I don't do that many readings any more, Your head gets too busy, so many questions and so many answers too.So I also found a spiritual store! Yeah Mom is in heaven, so my family , stay out eating ice creams , so I can enjoy the store. Cute as all are, they have Goddesses, Buddhas ,worlds to live by, candles, incense and all those cute trinkets to hung on your wall!Very inspiring. Those stores are like a candy for me, I can be there all day, just looking at little things. I got one close by my work, I got on the habit to go there every week, Saturdays after I finish my clients,I will go there and see every thing! That is the store that sold my Altar cloths , so yes I like to be at these " Spiritual retreats stores" They calm any body's mind with their music, sounds and burning sages and candles! I ask for faeries, they didn't have any !!! What I said no faeries! These can be trouble for them ! Don't piss off the faeries! But it was fun to see every thing, so I said good bye .
I found a nice Lady selling her home made products! A witch incognito I think! So I got a nice spray , body spray. She got all my favorites herbs made into a lotion or potion! I said that is all made at her home, love to support those crafty artistic woman, in their own kitchen making soap , just like the Aunts in my favorite movie " Practical magic" So my I got my spray, I did put some at one of my Goddesses , She love's it.
We did walk the entire fair ! every inch that we could see , fun people with funny pets! Dogs where hot! But buckets of water are put in every corner here,just for the doggies! Oh Did I tell you ! their is lots of dog business these days, sunglasses, huts, doors, t-shits ! door mats about the dog! Is a Doggies world! And I love those four legs , little barkers too!!

Spring Chicken

Today is Monday, marvelous Monday! is my day off , but here at home is my big day on... cleaning and doing all the laundry for my family. finish reading my book" Pioneer woman" the book is so cute in so many levels reminds me of, in a new land no Mommy to help me, just me and my man, by our self's . The life of so many around the same story.
Is quite simple we think ,at the beginning of the journey ,but them we found out the sweet surprise in life " there is nothing easy" . Get up, get to do, cook, clean up, take care of the baby, cook again, cleanup ,never ending story I will call it.
but all take s care of itself , kids are doing just fine, no big head injury's even if we droop them a few times , or they keep hitting their head on every chair!!.
So today I m doing my favorite spells , cutting herbs from my garden and cooking them,today I got the kitchen full of cookware, and hand fulls of the herbs in my kitchen counter, thyme, rosemary, sage, cilantro, and mint, I'm making my "Spring chicken" I call it the way just for herbs I use, They are from my garden and is spring . I love to get busy at my kitchen the smell in my home, see my kids going crazy when all those meals are on the table.

Is good to be a kitchen witch , from time to time, spells are cooking at the moment .I always got something cooking any way, metaphor in life, spells cook slow at my altars, cooking at the sun, cooking them in my art, cooking then in myself. The much to do in my life it never ends . I m planning to sit and sew today, It doesn't look good it all, is Magnificent Monday and my kids are on there spring break, so not time to sit and sew. So I cook, I take care of their needs, they will only have a week off, we fight for the computer , even if we got like five around here, they all tent to like my old PC, these one that I use for my blog, and I love it , simple because I got all my pictures in it. Yes they all are home, these is the big year for all of us, Ashley will be in college on the fall, leaving her home sweet home, Alex will go to high school, and my baby, my little one, Mama's boy will be going to middle school, Oh boy I'm not ready for my kids to grow up that fast.

Life it goes fast, someone should told me that, well I think my Mom did. But I don't listen when I was young and one of those " I know it all" . but not today , these years I talk less and listen more to my Mom and older friends . I'm still learning, every day is always something new !
The "Spring chicken" is almost ready, got black beans cooking too, rice, of course , no Latina chic, can leave without rice and achiote!!! And my kids favorite, lemonade , fresh lemonade to sip and these hot beautiful days. Today I will dry some of my herbs , the sage is in full bloom, so is the lavender, I love those purple flowers at my kitchen and at my Altars !!! They bring a happy note of " spring is here" That means more spring cleaning to do. The sunny afternoons is what I like to wait for! and sit and forget about what it needs to be done, I need to make so many things at my sewing machine, I like to make pillows cases and put my kids name on then, or the dogs names. Altar cloth with my Goddesses on them, I have big blanket from sister That I need to fix for her! I got a big Honey do for myself .In the time today is so far going well, I still have things to do at my garden, I guess it will be done , tomorrow.
