Samhain Post from 2021...

10/28/2025

As I was working on my post for this weekend, I found my previous one and thought I would reshare! A lot is the same but also different as my Mimi has now passed away. I also bake a lot more and use the real flour and butter. Stay tuned for this week's festivities as I am celebrating Dia De Los Muertos for the first time and even though both holidays honor our loved ones, there are some differences! 
10/31/2021: Today, I honor my loved ones that have passed on. Every year, I invite my ancestors over for a 'dumb supper' which is what pagans called this meal on this ancient Celtic holiday. This year, my 'soul cakes' are gluten free banana nut muffins. I baked some chocolate chip cookies to. Shhh, don't tell them these aren't real floured baked goods. I like to think the smell is an attraction and will entice them to 'stop by'. I ain't fraid of no ghosts. Anyways, I like to think about the memories I have of them and I spend time really reminiscing on Samhain. I do believe that from the moment you are born, you are filled with gifts that are passed down from your ancestors. Some of your best qualities just might be from you great grandmother. My Mimi shared some stories of her father and her fathers father today. I had no idea that they practiced law or that one flew Jennies in WWI. She spoke about their devotion and love for God and Jesus. It clearly was passed down to her as she is a devout Christian and her faith is a constant in her life. Many ways she described her parents are how I would describe her. One of my favorite stories that came from my Grandmother who has passed on, was that her mother made hats out of fancy beads and feathers. Or was that her 2nd cousin? Either way, we are all different. Our individual backgrounds have strengths and even weaknesses. Not only do I appreciate my lineage but I am grateful to my ancestors for the grit & the grace that was passed on to me.
Now, it's not always rainbows and sunshine. I've got the southernest roots I know and they are deep and have seen the darkness. As Johnny Cash said, "What's down in the dark will be brought to the light." On this night, I evoke light and love and pray to God and add on a goddess here and there. I break the ties that bind me to a karmic debt caused by my ancestor. Karmic debts can linger and fester depending on the trauma. Now is the time to offer forgiveness and understanding. Unconditional love is the most powerful thing you can give to your loved ones and yourself. Now, what do you wish to let go of? What is in your life that needs to pass on or simply put, die? Time to cut those cords that are hindering you. Be free. And always choose the LIGHT.

Self Care Rituals

​Whew this eclipse energy + the world today is just making things messy and very uncomfortable. It's time for some self love and care right now more than ever! Everyday you wake up to another list of 'to dos' starting with the first task, getting out of bed. This task alone has seemed like a daunting task to many of us. We forge thru the morning with our routines and chores but what happened to taking some time for ourselves. I call it a ritual when I do an activity that is just for myself. Makes me feel a little special. How often I fit a ritual in a day has been lacking lately. So starting today, I choose myself even it's its for a few minutes. I am asking you to do the same. Below are some ideas for what a morning and an evening ritual can look like. We all have our own vibrations and live lives not like the other. It's important to know some of these won't resonate with you and thats ok. Pick what does and try to add it to your routine a couple of times a week. The goal is to do it daily but let's just start, together. I to need to practice taking some time for myself. I need to learn to put the mask on before tending to others.
  1. Mindful movement- Walking is my favorite. Whether it's in your backyard, up and down your driveway, or you have a great spot for walking in nature, hit the pavement. I prefer power walking to my 90s tunes but my therapist reminded me that sometimes I need quiet and slow movement if my body and mind aren't up to all that bee bopping. She also pointed out the all or nothing bug I have and I laughed cause I literally stopped walking months ago b/c my fav spot was taken away and I used to do my 2 miles there. Since I haven't had access, I do 0 walking. Eye roll at myself. Other types of movement: yoga, tai chi, dancing, swimming, and stretching. 
  2. Journaling- Get yourself a fresh journal- stop using the last pages of an old spiral that's been lying around. Get yourself some cool pens with color or just a really good pen. Aren't those something? How did I get to the age I have a preference of what kind of pen I use....Anyways, intentional journaling with prompts or just free hand works! Just get it out. 
  3. Water- Whether it's taking a dip in a pool, river, lake or ocean OR it's soaking in a goddess bath, get in some water. Water is great for emotional releases so if you feel stuck emotionally, getting in the water is the answer. 
  4. Magic drink- Take the time to adorn your water, coffee, tea, or any beverage! I like adding cinnamon to my coffee this time of year. Adding mint and lemon to sun tea really adds a special something. Feeling under the weather? Try fresh ginger and honey to a hot cup of brewed tea. Mocktails are also an idea when you need something refreshing! Once you have your drink in hand, now you add the magic by putting an intention in it. Say these words out load or to yourself directly towards your cup in your hand before you take your first sip. Spend this moment with yourself, for yourself. "I am enough." "I am loved" "I am powerful and have lots of energy to get through this day with success" "I am healing and I allow what no longer serves me to leave now" "I am free of burden and stress in this moment".​ OR find your own mantra that resonates! Drink and enjoy your magic beverage!
  5. Prayer/Gratitude/Meditate- This can be done all day if you would like. We all say there is little time to do so but truth is, we multitask all sorts of things. I know you talk to yourself like I do. Go ahead and try talking to your guides instead of yourself. You might be very surprised when the 'aha' moments start to come more frequently. Take a moment and connect with the source and/or spirit whether it's with God, your angels, goddess, buddha, your guides, or ancestors, just reach out! Let them know what you are thankful for. Share your worries, your plans, and your heart with them. They are here to listen and here to assist. You are never alone.

June's Strawberry Moon

6/20/2024

​Summer is setting in nicely here in Texas. I have been craving strawberries these last couple of weeks. I found that fresh strawberries are easy to find at the local farmers market and even our trusty HEB has fresh berries from Poteet.  

As I've mentioned before, I am not an astrologist but an avid believer and researcher in all things celestial. I gather my information from many professional astrologers, spiritual websites, and tap into my own internal antenna. 

Animal medicine has been strong for me lately and just this AM, I encountered a turtle. Perfectly camouflaged to his surroundings but getting ready to embark on a journey across the street. Completely exposed and determined, he was going to conquer his fears. June's full moon is about perseverance and optimism. I might have helped him skip the dangerous part and assist him crossing the road but Fred was ready to embrace the unknown. With this moon being in Capricorn, we seek truth no matter what is ahead. Remember it is important to have protection and have shelter for our vulnerable soul no matter the journey ahead. It's ok to retreat, make a solid plan, and then charge ahead.  

All full moons have the power to assist you in letting go of things that no longer serve you. Write down what you are ready to purge. The universe is waiting with open arms to accept whatever it is that you need to release. There has been a lot of chaotic energy lately. A real build up of all the things has been steeping, Time to exhale! It's time. Write. Run. Sing. Scream. Jump in a body of water! Let it go baby!

Imbolc marks the beginning of the end of winter and one of the 8 holidays that make up the Wiccan Wheel of the Year. It's the perfect time to open every window and let the energy from the last couple of months clear out! The presence of flames is essential to this holiday so if you can't have a fire, light some candles.

January's Full Moon

1/24/2024

Full Moon sets on Thursday 1/25 at 11:54am Texas time. Time to let go and ditch the baggage of the past that is haunting you. Full moons are a time to release what no longer serves you and luckily we have one a month, sometimes 2, so take advantage of it! Purge, Release and Relinquish yall. Leo is all about self worth but highlights that need to set boundaries! Authenticity, fun, and community is important. Leo is generous and known for their bravery and spreading joy but with the sun in Aquarius and with Pluto's recent transition into Aquarius, there is shadow component with this full moon. This Wolf Moon has us focusing on not so much the "I" but the "WE". Emotional outbursts can be possible so make sure to use discernment with your time and energy when it comes to those you choose to spend your time with. Get physical to release this pent up energy like exercise, walking, or dancing. Remind yourself if you need to that attack is not the best form of defense. Take the time to release what you need including people that make you feel less than. With this being a new year, its a perfect time to reflect on what brings you joy and remember that the purest form of joy comes from simplicity. What are your strengths and what makes you shine bright like a diamond? Know your worth babies.

July's Super moon is on the rise! July 3rd at 6:39am (Texas time). This particular moon is known as the Full buck moon b/c around this time male deer tend to shed their old antlers to make room for the new and improved set to come! As we have discussed before, the super moon just means it'll be bigger and brighter than usual. July's Super moon is on the rise! July 3rd at 6:39am (Texas time).

As we have discussed before, the super moon just means it'll be bigger and brighter than usual. 
​
This full moon reminds us all of our own personal growth potential. It's time to conquer those goals! Clarity is coming. Get ready to finally check off some of those 'to do' lists once and for all. NOW is the time to make a conscious decision to release any blocks, spells, or curses for good. You have the power. Take the bolt cutters to those shackles around your wrists and ankles and liberate yourself. Trust your gut. It's important to focus all of your attention on your positive experiences and you will indeed attract more. Like Capricorn, stay away from the drama. You have free will, choose the light. Follow your bliss, joy,  have hope!!

Water is the answer and the reprieve we all need right now and it will be supercharged with this full moon. Dunk yourself in the ocean, the lake, river, pool, or even a kiddie pool in the backyard! Salt water baths with moon water can also be an option! Use the super charged water to remove the toxic energy and/or gunk that you have unknowingly absorbed. Release and recharge! Take care of your tender heart right now. We are in the sign of Cancer this month and emotions run high and heavy. Have heartfelt conversations with yourself, others, and who ever else you want! You are never alone. Lean on God, your angels, your guides, Spirit, whoever you turn to for comfort and support.

Beltane (Gaelic word translates into "bright fire") is 1 of the 4 earth festivals  on the wheel of the year which that originated in Ireland and Scotland. May day marks the midpoint between the solar festivals and is celebrated on 5/1 and on 11/1 in the southern hemisphere.  Its a wonderful time to celebrate growth and new beginnings. This festival celebrates the return of vitality, passion, & hopes. It symbolizes the union of God and Goddess. The story goes that the lovers were separated all winter and then reunited in Spring time. 

Ways to honor and celebrate:
  • Forage and collect wild flowers. Flowers that associated with this holiday are hawthorn, honey suckle, st. johns wort, and basically all flowers. 
  • May Pole is a painted pole, decorated with flowers, and ribbons of all colors hung from the top. It symbolizes the masculine symbol and the decorations are the feminine symbols. The may pole dance and tradition that is over 2000 years old, was said to bring fertility to the livestock, the land, and the people living off of it.
  • Feasting with friends and family is ideal and celebrating the bounty that is in season is even better! Grilling season is here in Texas so fire up the pit and grill some of your favorite veggies! Some of my fav's right now are artichokes, asparagus, and beets! Here are some recipes if you need some inspo!
