Good Morning Witches!
Tucked away here in the country side, we don’t have a lot of light pollution from street lights and the light from the town is behind us. This week I’ve notice that the dawn light is getting up not long after I do. And I’m loving it. And this year the timing couldn’t be better. Now that we have just celebrated Imbloc and the returning of the sun, right on cue, the Lord has stepped up and is shining his light on the world.
Traditional the Imbolc session is about clearing out the old stuff we don’t need or want any more, and to start planning what we want to happen during the next 6-7 months round to Samhain. We start planning now so that when Ostara comes round we’re ready to plant the metaphysical and physical seeds for the things we need and want to happen. At the moment my list of things that I would like to happen is way too long for my budget so I’ll start on the things that are going to bring a little bit of happiness and pleasure back to life. I don’t usually worry about the physical things, the material things, I have a place to sleep that is mostly draft free and dry. I have food in the cupboard and I’m still able to travel to work. And I can just about make it to the end of the month and payday. But it would be really nice if I could upgrade my lap top, and get the air con in the van working again. But first and most importantly I need to get new eye wear so that I can do the work I have with out coming away at the end of the day feeling like I could sleep for a week. So on the manifestation list for this year is a bit of extra income to get my eyes checked. And if I could get a laptop upgrade and the air con sorted out as well that would be a bonus. you know, just saying, seeing as I’m putting things out to the universe. So you know a new Macbook would be perfect. And if I’m being honest then a new gentleman friend would be good too but I know I’m not the slut that I was and I’m properly way to picky these days for that bit to happen. But we live in hope
The secret with any manifestation work is you’ve got to be ready, willing and able to put in your side of the work too. You can cast as many spells as you like and beg you Deities, not that they will be too happy about that if you’re working with the lovely lady’s I work with, but if you don’t put in your side of the effort then nothing is going to happen. For example, I need a bit of extra income but if I just come home every evening and sit in front of Netflix’s then nothing is going to happen. Gotta keep an eye out for those little hints and nudges that come your way. What your looking for might just be round the corner but if your sat on your bum it en’t going to happen. it’s like wishing your numbers come up every Saturday but never buying the lottery ticket.
So as we work out way through this Imbolc session and work out how we’re going to try and get the things we worked out we needed from our Yule time meditations and reflections. So that come Ostara we can get going with a bit of umph. Speaking of which, my spiritual project for the year – working Meditation back in to the daily practice – well I’ve started to go through my music collection to put together a couple of play list’s to help. I’ve always found that silent meditation is hard for me, as my mind wonders off the point very quickly and having a bit of music to centre my thoughts helps big time. Doesn’t have to be music, some times I’ve found a “sound scape” to be just as use full so I have lots of bird song and wind sounds as well. When I’ve got a few put together I’ll see if I can publish them somehow with out getting caught up in copyright and all those things. Meditation is one of those times when you can sit on your bum and get benefit from it. One of the most important things is to have the right atmosphere to be comfortable and relaxed in. In years past, when I lived with others, the best place was to meditate in the bath. It was warm, quiet and you didn’t get interrupted by husbands wanting to know if we had any more bin liners. So as well as putting together suitable sounds to work with I’m looking to work out the best place to be able to just sit and be.
Hope you all have a good week. Laters witches!
