Turning Over a New Leaf

So, I am settling into the new home, and realising the internet connection here is just awful, compared to what I'm used to. Hopefully I can do something about that. It just makes it very hard to watch or upload videos. Perhaps this just means that I should watch/upload less!

My new bedroom is primarily yellow, which is nice. Me and mum went and bought some long thick yellow/gold curtains for the bay windows. I'm hoping this will keep some noise and cold out. I'm surprised the heating actually works pretty well, considering it's a really old place with high ceilings and drafty windows. I'm slightly off the highstreet now, so it's not quite as noisy, but it's still fairly busy. I'm no longer living with my boyfriend, so my evenings are pretty solitary.

I've just returned from a wedding in Newcastle, which was both lovely and sad. It was great to see my family and celebrate a wonderful relationship, but sad to realise that my own relationship is coming to an end, and that I will not be planning a wedding as I thought I might be by now. I've been with my boyfriend for nine years and I figured that marriage would be on the cards soon. But this year it has gradually dawned on me that it's just not meant to be. He has been a good friend to me over the years and I hope we can continue to be on good terms. But I need to acknowledge that it's time to move on.

I really did not expect this time of year to be quite so dramatic! This is a big change in my life. It fills me with those mixed feelings of anxiety and excitement. Somebody new came into my life, and it feels as though they have come to teach me an important lesson. They have come to teach me how to open up and communicate. I am quite wary about maintaining my privacy with this blog (and videos and twitter and facebook) so I'm not sure quite how much I should say. But I know it's good for you to get things out in the open. It's good just to hear yourself say things outloud or to read your own words.

I've been getting to know this new person in my life, and finding lots of surprising things in common. We are planning a weekend together which should be lovely. I don't know where this is going but I'm trying not to question it and just enjoy each present moment.

    Trying not to sound too cliche here, lol, but when we need to, the universe will force us to clear out familiar, comfortable yet unfulfilling, things in our lives to make room for wonderful, possibly exciting, new experiences on the horizon that we may not have even recognized as opportunities otherwise. Just be present in every moment and enjoy them as they come. **HUGS**

    Wishing you all the best and seasonal blessings. It sounds to me like the tides of the land are at work in your life :) I echo what the poster above said, the Universe moves things around so you need to see and meet those with who'm your path may travel with for a while, remember they are also on their own path and will be learning from you :)

      Thank you, yes I consider every person in my life to be a teacher, and I hope in turn they receive a lesson from me, in equal give and take, we change each other for the better. :)

The Dorset Ooser

  A massive wooden head with snapping jaw mechanism, real horns and hair. Photo from 1883-1891.  The Dorset Ooser has possible connections to the horned costumes sometimes worn by participants in English Mummers plays. The etymology of Ooser is also disputed, with various possibilities available, but I think it's most likely the same as the Oss, a snapping skull paraded around during midwinter. The pronunciation is very similar, and it's simply a way of saying "horse" without pronouncing the h. These teeth-gnashing heads are also known as 'obby 'oss or hobby horse.  One use of the Dorset Ooser was to strike fear into villagers who were perceived as shameful. Usually the target was an unruly wife who had disobeyed her husband by raising her voice, scolding him, beating him, or cheating on him. A woman who was perceived as a bad wife was forced to ride backwards on a donkey or horse while the angry Ooser snapped his jaw at her and a crowd of villagers beat their...

A Coven of Witches

Last year I posted an advert on witchvox calling for local people who would be interested in starting a new coven. Interest has been slowly and steadily growing. I currently have a potential coven of 10 ladies. I'm excited in a nervous kind of way. I am not the most socially confident person. The thought of meeting strangers is quite terrifying. I don't know how many of the potential witches are really up for trying this. I always assume that out of all who express an interest, only half will follow through. Since last year I had a good feeling about May, that this would be the time for new projects. I've proposed a coven meeting in May and so far three individuals have said they would like to meet up. What I worry about is being able to meet everyone's needs, because I want the coven to work for everyone. I want clear communication, this is the most important thing, that we are able to share our ideas. I don't like the idea of a coven where a select leadership...

Partial Eclipse Full Moon in Pisces

The partial lunar eclipse happened when the moon was low in the sky, and there was a fair amount of cloud here. But after the eclipse, the clouds cleared and the moon rose over the rooftops. I had a bonfire lit and locally picked herbs to burn. Key words for this full moon were: - Compassion - Vulnerability - Imagination - Sensitivity - Avoidance - Procrastination  Questions and Considerations: The power of imagination and intuition. How can we follow our hearts and live a compassionate lifestyle? This is a time of great sensitivity toward the emotions of others, and a yearning to give comfort to anyone who needs it. This willingness to help can grow to feel like a great burden. This can lead a sensitive person to hide away from the world because they feel overwhelmed by the work that needs to be done. In this case, we really need to take care of ourselves, to become emotionally stable and focused on practical goals. The key is to find some small way that you can use your beautiful...
