Brightest of bright mornings to you! I hope you all got a lot done last week.
Sunday may see you not very happy. You will be unsatisfied with everything. Remember that you can't keep refusing every offer hoping for a better one. Before you know it, there may be no offers at all.
On Monday, be on the lookout for a narrow-minded person. There will be deceit and treachery. Be careful that this person is not you.
Tuesday finds determination. You have an ability to notice the obvious. Trust your perception.
Wednesday is the calm before the storm. The storm is the foundations being ripped right out from under you. Be on your guard and keep your wits about you.
Thursday sees some fresh creativity. You are responsible, use this time to its full advantage.
You are distracted on Friday. There is a message for you. Focus, or you will miss it.
You're going to find many things happening at once on Saturday. You will have trouble keeping things balanced. Try taking things one at a time, so you won't get overwhelmed.
The overview of the week looks like a struggle to get started. Maybe it would be a good idea to wait it out.
This week also sees the start of July. I pulled a card to give us an overview of the month. It outlook is good and hopeful. You will have what you need.
That's all for this time. See you next week!

Litha 2009
I did not have an opportunity to have any kind of ritual or celebration for this Sabbat. I was on a kayaking trip, but it turned into one of the most magickal experiences I've ever had.
The trip brought me to a part of the river with which I was very familiar. It is my favorite place to paddle, and there are many plants and creatures to see.
On the trip, I had an opportunity to paddle this creek at dusk. They launched us well apart from each other, so it seemed like we were on the water alone, but we weren't really alone because that is not safe. We were told not to use any lights and to refrain from talking.
I know this creek. I know its turns, its shortcuts, and its obstacles. Paddling in the growing darkness was no problem for me at all. I think the familiarity of the water made it that much more special for me, because I did not have to focus on where I was going, and what I needed to avoid hitting. Instead, I could listen to the sounds of the night, the sound of my paddle in the water was almost an affront to the gentle murmurs around me.
At one point, just before crossing under a bridge, I saw two juvenile Barred Owls. Some little bird was picking on them, and they flew over the creek, screeching at it. I had only seen an owl in the wild once before; I passed one sitting on the side of the road. This was two owls!
Passing under the bridge brought a chorus of night sounds, where before it had been very soft. I paddled as far as I could, to where navigable water ends at a vast beaver dam. There was a breach, which I knew from an earlier day paddle, and the water joined with the creatures singing their night songs.
On the way back, the paddlers gathered near the bridge. A group from the trip walked there to try to call out some owls. I had already seen two, I knew they were there. At the recorded sound of the Barred Owl's cry, those two young ones and four others hooted in agitated reply.
It was a family, two adults and their brood of four. They stood in a tree, flapping their silent wings at us, then glided hauntingly across the creek one by one. They hooted there for a while before soaring back across the creek. It is so hard to even attempt to explain the majesty of these creatures, and how being in their presence caused me to weep with the beauty of it, of the night.
I can think of no better way to have spent this Sabbat.

Tarot Reading - Week of 6/21 to 6/27
Good morning, everyone. I hope that yesterday's nightmares didn't carry too far into your waking world. Happy Litha to you! On with the reading!
Sunday is a time for games. It's always good to play a little, especially in hard times.
On Monday, those games may turn into fights. You have the high ground, don't get cocky.
Tuesday is a wonderful day to be alive! On this day, you will find pleasure in your daily existence. It is a day to experience the world in brightness, happiness, and with a childlike joy. Enjoy it.
On Wednesday, you're starting something new. You're off to a good start. Keep your eyes open.
Thursday will find you full of determination. The things you need will be plainly clear.
Friday is a day to be careful with your spending. It is always good to be generous, but don't offer more than you can afford.
On Saturday, you will find patience and moderation. Much like yesterday, it is a day to be frugal.
The overview for the week says that this is a week of action. It is not the time to be resting or to let things take their course without direction.
Have a great week!

Tarot Reading - Week of 6/14 to 6/20
Good morning, one and all! I hope everyone had a great week.
Sunday is a day to pay attention. You are likely to miss the obvious.
On Monday, you will find determination. Be careful, you're likely to be giving 120% to the wrong cause.
Tuesday sees a conflict, but you are on guard and holding your ground. You have what it takes to not let it get the better of you.
Wednesday is a great day to honor the people you love. Don't forget that love can make you blind.
On Thursday, something is hidden, but there is something else that helps light the way in the darkness.
Friday is a struggle to get started. Maybe you didn't adequately prepare or you're missing something. Find it before you take off.
Saturday will bring with it some torment. Don't fret, remember that nightmares are still only dreams.
The overview of the week tells me that it will be a week of practicality. You have sound judgment to apply in every situation.
That's all for this week. See you next time!

Full Mirror Moon and Wishing Moon
I hope everyone had a fabulous Esbat!
This was called the Mirror Moon, it is a good time to focus on yourself and things within you that need changing or nurturing. It was also another Wishing Moon.
I feel I am in a near-constant state of personal reflection and growth, so I did not focus on that aspect of this Esbat. Perhaps, in a way, I did.
I have worked with the faerie realm since I was a child, before I even knew exactly what it was. Children have an intuitive knowledge about the world that most are taught to forget as they grow up. For a time, I did forget what I knew. When I came back to it, it was there as it always had been. When I remembered what I had been taught to forget, it was a revelation of my spiritual life.
I own two fairy houses, made by an unbelievable talented artist who captures the very essence of their realm in her work. The faerie plain exists at the same place as ours, but most people cannot see it. Children and animals can, and people with knowledge and open hearts can. The houses that this artist makes pull a piece of their realm into ours, like pulling a loop of thread through fabric. Their plain exists within those walls, and looking into a house is truly looking into their world.
This Esbat was spent in commune with the fae who dwell in my home, in the homes I have placed for them. One of them has been my companion for as long as I have the ability to remember. The other, I have yet to meet. That being will make him or herself known when they are ready. There are more than these two as well. It is comforting to know they can bring parts of their world into ours, I think.

Tarot Reading - Week of 6/7 to 6/13
Good morning! I hope everyone had a great week last week and took some time to take some rest. I did, but I sacrificed sleep to do it (you put those two together!). On to this week!
Sunday is a day of motion; however, you are moving against the current. You can fight it and keep going, but you may wear yourself out unnecessarily. It might be a good idea to pause until the water flows in your favor.
In maybe the opposite of Sunday, Monday will see an unwillingness to make the necessary effort. You have to work to get what you want, and it will never come if you just wait around.
Tuesday will bring a disappointment. The card that came up for this day is one of those that I never want to see in a reading. It tells us that the world is a dark place full of anguish. The bright side here is that it does not have to be this way. If your world comes to a bleak halt on Tuesday, remember that you are in control of you. This is not set in stone.
Wednesday carries the theme of Tuesday. Be on the look-out for a dishonest person and be wary of scandal. Remember that people can take advantage of you only if you let them.
Thursday is looking up. You're on guard and holding your ground. It's been tough to get this far, but you are on top of things.
On Friday, something comes to a close and it was not as you intended. You may find an effort did not pan out as you wanted. Don't be too discouraged, even if you return empt-handed, you still return and that allows new possibilities.
Saturday is not a day for making rash financial decisions. Make sure you weigh all options carefully. You may find your efforts are better suited elsewhere.
The overview of this week shows a lack of faith. This reflects in the cards, especially early on. Remember, when you are at the bottom, you can stay there or you can go up. Make the choice for yourself.
That's all for this week! See you next week!
