September's Full Moon Goals Link-up ☆

Hi everyone! Are you as excited for this upcoming full moon as I am?!

I didn't do so well on my goals from last month...

☆ Search for my pendulums. Okay, not exactly done....I bought a new pendulum instead. And then I bought three more online. Ha ha!

☆ Play with my beautiful candy cane quartz generator! Kinda done! I meant to do a blog post about it but mostly I've just been setting it beside my candle spells.

☆ Sew a lovely stone bag for my niece. Not done =(

☆ Make an effort to dedicate more time to self-care this month. Also not done =(

☆ Create a fantastic herbal recipe for Tiff! Done! I sent her my favourite recipe for a sore muscle herbal bath soak =)

☆ Work on protecting myself from negative energies. Kinda done. I meant to make a spell bag but I really just threw a bunch of stones in my purse.

Yeah, I've been slacking! I'm going to put more effort into achieving my goals for this month~

☆ Celebrate the full moon tomorrow. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do...

☆ Put together a fabulous Samhain package for Vyctoria and maybe share photos of it here.

☆ Start doing yoga regularly again. 

☆ Re-organize the witchy bookshelf.

☆ Get all of my herbs put away for the colder months!

Wish me luck!

Mabon Blessings~

Ceridwen by UnripeHamadryad

"Let us give thanks from our hearts 

for the blessings of all our good harvest 

for the hard-won lessons of life 

for the people who bind us together 

making joyful warm hearts out of strife."

Brightest of Mabon blessings,
Faula.

Celebrating Mabon: Activities for the Autumn Equinox.

♥ Use carrots and potatoes to make a yummy Mabon soup!

♥ Collect colourful fallen leaves on a nature walk and use them to decorate your altar. You can simply scatter them around, dip them in paraffin wax to make them last longer, or try a more timely craft.

 ♥ Make an offering of grains at your favourite tree.

♥ Honour the birds and small animals around your home by filling a birdfeeder.

♥ Get your garden ready for winter by giving it one last tending. Remember to thank your plants for their abundance this year.

♥ Bring a basket on your nature walk and fill it with pine cones and the like to decorate your altar with.

♥ Choose a delicious, fruity wine to enjoy during your Mabon feast.

♥ Peruse your witchy library and decide on a subject to study during the colder months. A new form of divination, or perhaps meditation?

♥ Write a gratitude list in your BoS, journal, Facebook, or wherever you choose. Write down everything you've been thankful for over the past year.

♥ Share your abundance by donating food/clothes/books to a local charity, or simply baking a few too many cookies and sharing them with your neighbours.

♥ Perform spells for security, protection or prosperity.

♥ Meditate on the obstacles you'd like to overcome.

♥ Harvest gourds and dry them to make ritual rattles. Once dry, paint them with magickal symbols and fill with rice or dried corn.

♥ Fill a cornucopia to make a centerpiece for your altar or Mabon dinner table.

Blessings,
Faula

A Bit o' Witchy Shopping~

A few of my latest witchy buys....



I bought this book at a used bookstore a while ago~ I've just paged through it but I've really enjoyed what I read! I can't wait to start journaling with it.

My BEAUTIFUL candy cane quartz generator~ and some freebies! 

New crystals...unakite, angelite, malachite, covellite and epidote.

A HUGE fluorite I picked up a few days ago. Check out that sparkle!

We've been getting in SO many witchy-themed shirts at work. This one is my fav so I bought it on Sunday =3

I had a hankering for a pendulum the other day...Eventually it got so bad that I made my mom & sis pick me up from work so I could go get one, ha ha! This pendulum, ruby in fuchsite, called out to me right away.



Meet Mac the unicorn! [And Fred the seal, who's been around a while.] 

I have a few more witchy goodies in the mail =D I can't wait!

Brightest of blessings,
Faula.

The Faolan Girl's Lughnasadh Celebration~

Hi everyone! I hope your Lughnasadh celebrations were lovely.

One of my Full Moon Goals was to whip up something yummy for the Sabbat~ Cookies are my specialty, but I decided to try my hand at biscuits! I used several fresh herbs from my witchy garden to make these cheddar & herb biscuits. Judging by how quickly they disappeared, I'd say they were a hit with my family! I also made a jug of strawberry-mint iced tea.



I harvested a bit of my catnip plant as well. I was going to dry it for my kitties, but I think I'd also like to use it for tea!

The energies were perfect for divination! I did a three card reading for the winner of The Faolan Girl's give-away. It was such a lovely reading and I enjoyed it a lot.

Enjoying tea and a movie with my mom! We watched Left Behind, which is decidedly very un-Pagan, but I liked it. This tea is my favourite from DAVIDsTEA!

An oracle reading for myself~ I've been in an odd mood lately, making some very un-Faula-like decisions, and I decided to see what my oracle had to say about it. The reading? Turn Back!

Blessings,

Faula.
