Garden gifts and a full moon.

Cleansing bath for the next full moon!!!! August is a perfect month to re-energize our body. Thanks to the month of August we all have so much herbs in our gardens , so here is a way to use all our good things. Make plenty for gives and to save for the winter blues!. Trust me these will bring a sunshine in a rainy day. And the best way to keep our herbs longer and our magick alive:


Lavender, Lemon and Thyme Bath Salts

Ingredients:

2 drops Lavender , home grown !!or a cup of lavender flowers ! Freshly cut, will have more of the fresh natural oils.

1 drop Lemon Organic, or a herb like lemon balm!(1/4 cps)

1 handful crushed dried thyme

1 cup Bath Salt (unscented)

Sprinkle Lavender, Lemon and Thyme Bath Salts into a warm bath for a heavenly scent which is both relaxing and invigorating. Pour salt into a bowl. Sprinkle over it the crushed dried time and stir. Add the drops of essential oils, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Mix well – this is important to ensure that the scent is evenly spread. Store the salts in a wooden box, glass jar . (Use glass if you plan to store it a long time — glass will ensure that the container does not absorb the essential oils.) Sprinkle the salts into a warm bath for a heavenly scent which is both relaxing and invigorating.

I like to use it as a dry exfoliator , of course is lots of tiny things the goes out of our body, so rinse and towel dry or air dry! Let the lavender be in your skin all day .
You will be so young after these ritual!!

Hecate

"The true power of the moon resided in Hecate, who ruled the waning and dark moon.
The times when the moon slipped into the underworld and ghosts and spirits walked the earth".


-Rosemary Ellen Gulley.The encyclopedia of witches and witchcraft.

The Beauty Of A Witch

What is beauty for some is not for everybody! Beauty is a secret gift the comes from inside, not in the skin. It goes deep, intro the soul. A friend of mine, close to me every day.She is my yoga partner! Her name is Kate, she a walking beauty, she is not intro the fancy things in life, she is the most simple person you will ever meet.
Every day we practice yoga together, we share our energy and exchange and re-new our power to be better every day,Kate got brain damage a few years ago, and is almost 100% better, still she got things to re- learn, so do I, I always tell her, That is our joke"What is my excuse ". she is beautiful,inside she is so amazingly inspiring woman.When people see her , will never know that she was almost dead, or maybe she did and just come back.
Kate inspire so many others to be who we are and shine on these world.So these video is for her, Kate, gets up every day and do what she most do Heal her self , with her own powers and her own will! . Blessings to my dear and closest friend,Kate!!

Laguna Niguel

We just walk in the house from our vacation! so now I'm unloading laundry and unpacking all those things. It is always my favorite thing to have vacations! The resort life, late dinners , meet my friends and have drinks and long lounge times. My kids are growing fast and so they sleep a lot!!
So there is why have being out of my blog. But the good part is my re-new in energy , the good time and the ocean breeze will fix any thing in our spirit.

We walk on the beach, my friend Amy has two little ones, so is so much fun to see their eyes so big when we find something at the shore, sea stars ,little craps and their screaming for what they see.
I have being there lots of times, but I never discover a rock ,not just any kind , was, a big rock with a load of crystals, I got pictures but I'm having downloading issues with my computer , I have to try in my laptop.
These rock stands so high and is sharp, can cut your skin, is not just a rock is a thousands rocks, and minerals. These big amazing mother nature stone, sits on the beach and nurture all sorts of little things,living and swimming in there. Rose crystals bonded with mineral are so hard the is no way these crystal are coming out! Fossils of sea seashell, milky crystals , some one probably got a drill out there ,I found a hole in the rock with sand stone all over, these are big crystals about 5 pounds and so more or less.
Nature is a big gem stone, so I charge my energy's up there.
These was up in Laguna beach, the famous people from "Real house wife's "and movies stars , are in the area. We have seeing then before, not these time.Or maybe I just don"t care of the who is who, I just want to make my family to connect and enjoy one of the most beautiful places around here. Dinners with my kids and our friends can get you hungry all the time.And of course they will be asking for Tarot readings !!So I need more energy to keep up.
Im home and I will stay now for a while, and I will be here again, checking at my friends blogs , reading spells and enjoying my home made food!! See you at your blogs. Andrea.

Get out the closet , witch.

These weekend was crazy! of course! I new that , is always that way. The Gay pride in San Diego is the best!!!These is my 17 pride, I have being there pregnant, and big and small. But always there. All my friends are there with me, or me with them, either way we are together, is like a Christmas day , in the middle of summer.
Floats are so decorated , takes them days to do all the painting and paper work for that special ,moment, all floats are different , and we just love to see what crazy thing is coming up next!! Navy and Marines , where all there for their FRIST time ever!!!> I did see a shirt that said; Ask and I tell " funny and true!! .


The pagans too, they never miss a day to go out the closet too. Too many people in the witches closet, so that is why I came out. Being Gay and a witch is a lot of similar things, family won't talk about the "issue" they think if they don't said a thing it will go away!! I got news Mom is not working!!! !So there is my link with my best friends!!! I got so many thanks Goddess , we are together in these.

The wizard of us !! was there and the flying monkeys but these monkeys are so cute!! !! Elphaba was the best !! I hope she did some spells around town!!!the parade was just so Wicked !!
I have so much to tell !! so many things, I will get there day by day!!

Here is a part of my favorite Elaphaba song!!!!

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:

Bloom where you "re planted

Busy is not even close! These week is the week of "Gay Pride" And I have a huge party to attend !! I'm sewing my friend "gay Pants" we are going to dress up like we are something from "lady GAGA" . I got the biggest high heals shoes ever, a red corset so blink blink!!
And in all that is our daily shores, work kids, my real husband, the other gay husband, who is impossible to find sometimes!!!
So my mantra is "I got time" for every thing, And I'm doing and catching up in all around.Yesterday I went to visit my sister, She just bought a home and she was telling me to go and check her new place ! It takes about 45 minutes from my house to hers. I'm so glad she has a place!! Remember a few months ago, I blog about it. I gave her my Goddess Ganesha! The same one the help me, to sell my hair Salon, so I pass it to her ! And yes like any thing took some time to get the right place. She is a new home owner, I'm so happy for her, she is so creative and I know that she will make a beautiful home in there . I bless her and her new home, my nice and nephew are growing so fast almost out of the house , college and adios Mom !! But is so good to have a place to come back and still have a room with all your things.
We were planning to do some sagging but, there are still painting and hammering the house, so when all is done and put in place the both of us will give thanks for all the help to our Goddess .
I like to be the witch of my family and friends .Was fun to get out there , my sister give me a tour of her neighborhood, she lives in Hispanic community, I live in a Chinese community, weird ha. But I move here so long ago and the fun thing is I do love my oriental food, the Markets are crazy and I get every thing there even incense .
My co-worker's said I was probably Oriental in my past life. I'm sure i get along with all of them , love the food , Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese . In all Is just part of blooming where we are. I bloom here for almost 20 yrs , and my sister will bloom in her new place.
Is our journey to enjoy were we are. And have fun with it.
So I have a animal print tide pants to fit on my friend!! And so many other projects waiting for me to finish as well. Gay pride is about our individualism , so we are going crazy, as we always DO... Untill we meet again! have a ball !!Andrea.

A visitor

These days we are taking it so easy, late dinners, late nights watching TV, kids on vacation , friends are in out!!!Sleeping late, and them is so hard to wake-up on the morning.Is the summer energy, it makes all crazy, and changes every thing.

Last night we went out for dinner , when we got home , I went outside to water my plants, these heat is drying out every thing. I water the back yard first then the front, I got to see a little baby frog, so I was calling to my kid Andrei, so he can come and see, "Andrei a frog a froggg!!! Well the kid was doing his business and could run fast enough. So the frog was gone in a blink. I keep putting more water around, and the something at the corner of my eye move, smooth and slow, i got chill , panic and I look slowwwww , some thing a never have seeing here in my neighborhood was there! A Coyote, he was walking next to the houses , and running really quiet ! I almost scream, but I control myself and said" Oh my Godddd ". Him and I have a sec of not moving! I run inside the house, and of course he did the same thing.

So here is the thing, these guy was out of his home the canyon why?. Nobody around did see a thing, out there was lady walking her dog and she said... did n"t see a thing . As always is me! Of course my husband said" They just follow you" I have nature encounters a lot! But these is suburbia. Is not too far the canyon, but still, it was early like 10pm.
Crazy!! I think but I'm the crazy one, of course every body got out and say "he is gone" and all of us back inside. I think my animal totem is his cousin the wolf , and since he is not wolf !! I guess I get the Coyote!
These is probably the fifth time I seeing one by-myself again! One time, I though it was some ones dog walking in front of me, until a guy jump and start trowing sticks to him I din"t realize what he was doing.I just look at me like " are you crazy" . So I just keep walking following the coyote , but hi was gone running up the hills.

Last night I had lost of nightmares, I thing was all about the coyote, I was thinking in my little dog Romeo, how many nights we are outside !!! Last night I told Romeo to stay inside, no reason why I just didn't let him come with me as we always do. So Im glad I got the hint< And trust me "Romeo" is not allowed to be at front at night anymore. There is plenty of rabbits out in the canyon for him I hope no one lost their cat last night !!!

Awake

Awake
by James Douglas 'Jim' Morrison

Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and
choose the sign of your day
The day’s divinity
First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach
in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it’s quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose, they croon, the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon,
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up and dances.

Rainbow

We have a huge rainbow yesterday! It was long and at the middle some rain clouds. Was miles long, I work in downtown San Diego, that was one end, them I drove home, I live up-north 22 miles, the Rainbow stop, 4 miles before my exit!! It was bright and clear, the freeway was slow!!... All of us were ohhh ahhhh , I never have seeing such a long rainbow.A friend of mine, post a picture on face book. Yes it was like he said"the perfect rainbow".
So I was hoping, Oh would be nice to have rain and a thunder storm!!Those are fun, magical, in the summer a thunder storm! I guess I like weird things. But It did rain, not by house, far east! My friend Catz who lives up there , said it was a big rain, and lots of thunders!!! Oh I have to call the Goddess of these storm, and ask her ; Please next time, bring it to my street!!Yeah!!!
Or I have try a new rain spell!! My garden will love for sure.

Witches Hair

It is 4Th of July! And I have done all the fun for the day with my family, movies, food, so is time for my witches hair. What else can i do at these time? My own hair!
Of course I love hair, that is why I do hair. Im not just a regular person, I read hair. Hair can tell me a lot about any one, is that person, easy, fuzzy, all those things get in our hair. And if you know " witches hair" Has more energy than anyone's hair.

I got a glass bottle that said on it" Witches Hair" My best friend "David" another hair stylist, was doing my hair on a Halloween day and cut a piece of my hair and put it and the witches bottle. So now is a Real Witches Hair in there!! He said...Love that, I got the precious bottle now for so many years. My favorite color for me, is always Black, but I like to change it all the time, some times is red, purple, or any thing I may want to get that week.
So today I'm going back to black, just because!! And my gray hair is there!
But so why so many movies all witches hair is black ? Don't know but is so true.
Look at Bellatrix Lestrange in harry Potter, she looks so good with her black hair, she is a little crazy! we know, but girls !! I will love to have that hair.

So that is my point of view about "witches hair" . If is black is good! I just don't know what on earth is wrong with Hollywood, Not every woman with black hair is a witch, and not even a bad person!!
