Today I´m busy planning my solitary ritual for the Waxing Quarter Moon on Tuesday July 9th.
I have looked on my intentions from the New Moon ritual on July 2nd. And I´ve been busy learning about making a both readable and profitable blog. Oh yes, everybody needs some money from time to time, and I´m no different from that. Living on a budget is to be creative in many ways to make ends meet.
Now it´s time to put some effort into trying to realize and manifest my wishes. It is hard work, however, since there is so much new knowledge to take in.
Therefore I´m going to celebrate another of the Moon´s 8 phases, the Waxing or First Quarter Moon. It is on the 7th day of this new moon cycle, and here I´ll work with my goals of creating a great blog and a small extra income.
I will need to create a ritual concerning my personal growth, some money drawing and development of new talents, such as getting organized with all the behind-the-scenes work that sometimes is a bit too mundane for my taste, but that´s life as it is.
So in order to meet new challenges I´m going solitude this time. It will be the first real-life tryout for me, because I´m on one way a solitary witch, but on most occasions my husband or my neighbours participates in my rituals.
Since I´m also a cottage witch, I´ll use herbs and crystals in my ritual. I keep my herbs in the kitchen cabinet, and I use whatever is available. To me the most important “herb” and “crystal” is the seed of inspiration and the glimpse of a possible future, so even though you live on a budget, it is possible to work with witchcraft.
As it is my 3rd year as a witch, I´ve gathered a nice collection of dried herbs, and my husband grows sage, thyme and rosemary for me in our garden. I´ve also a nice collection of crystals, but less can still do and you can use some pebbles, if the money flow is low. What ever speaks to you is a good choice.
I´m also busy learning to run a blog. And there is a whole world of possibilities out there, it´s just about getting started and try and try and try along the way.
My goals are long-term, and there will be days, when everything is too much. But then again, with a positive outlook, there are always words to be written.
It´s a passion to me to write. I like the sound of the fingers dancing over the keyboard. I like to share my knowledge and my ideas. And I like to try to write something that I personally would read again,
I use music both in writing and in witchcraft. It depends on many aspects. In writing I need some action, some speed, some happiness. And in witchcraft I look for music that calms, that soothes, that relaxes.
To manifest intentions is to work both mentally and physically. There will be no results without working for them. It takes quite a lot of self-discipline and faith.
But to manifest is to act upon wishes, aspirations and hopes.
And the best tool for that is yourself, your drive, your enthusiasm. It is about doing, not talking. And it is about reflection upon your true passions.
