Good Morning Witches,
Another strange week this week, seem to be having a lot of those this year. This past week I’ve been off with covid. Strange thing about it was, if I didn’t have to regular test for work I wouldn’t have even known I had it. I had a bit of sniffle at the start of last week, but it’s start of the hay fever season for me as the Laurals and trees start to pump of the early pollen, so I didn’t think much of it. Wasn’t till I did my routine Sunday night Lateral Flow that I suddenly got two lines not the usual one.
Panic and dread all paid a visit, as some one with an on going heart condition I’ve been weary of the Virus right from the start of lockdown one – I still wear a mask when I go shopping even now. But as the week went on and nothing bad happened I eased in to an easy week of not going out and staying put. I know we don’t have to isolate these days but I didn’t want to pass it on to someone else just in case they have a worse chronic condition than I do. Also for work we still have to isolate.
Thank the Goddess that I’ve been fully jabbed and boosted, other wise it could have turned out a lot worse for me. I just hope that even though I didn’t have a hard time with Covid that I don’t have long term effects from it. I’ve got enough brain fog from my heart attack thanks.
So I was already in a strange mood when it came round to doing full moon Ritual last night. All started well and just for once I remember to put on my altar all that I would need – well just about anyway. During the drawing down of the moon meditation I was sat looking at the picture of Hekate I have on my altar and I swear to whatsits she smiled at me with one of those all knowing smiles. It’s always nice when the Goddess comes close to you, and even more so when you’ve had a strange week like I’ve just had. I also hope that it’s a good sign that the spell I put out will also bear fruit for me too. Just had to wait and see on that one.
Easter is one of those times when I do feel a little bit of a pull back to my monastic days. I was looking at twitter this morning and the pictures from Buckfast Abbey of the monks doing their dawn lighting of the candles outside the Abbey church. I remember back from those days that the only thing I didn’t care for that much was the early start on a Easter Sunday. Dawn Mass is always a nice exciting thing to do, until you actually have to get up for it. I wonder if that’s why I now do most of my Rituals at night? I think the only time I’ve ever gotten up early to do anything is for Summer Solstice and that was just the once. I’m not a great believer in morning Rituals, or morning anything come to that. Nothing happens till after the first cup of coffee! And I mean nothing.
So it’s back to the grind this week, even if it is going to be a short week. I hope you all have a blessed week and enjoy the bank holiday.
