Day 117

Circle Casting


Circle of starlight,
Circle of fire,
filled with enchantments
bright with desire.

Turning, turning,
beginning to end;
end to beginning
again and again.


Circle of wisdom,
Circle of love,
Silver with moonbeams
bright from above.

Circle of death,
Circle of re-birth,
Circle of the Mother Earth.


Shining, shining,
forever and ever.
Spinning, spinning,
ending never.

Weaving the threads
of the midnight hour.
Weaving the web of Goddess power.

AN YE HARM NONE, LOVE,

DO WHAT THOU WILT!

Sunshine


Sunshine hue sunshine grew
Shines its rays on me and you
Sunshine dove sunshine above
Sunshine light sunshine bright
Not a dark cloud close in sight
Sunshine thrive sunshine imbibe
Sweet healing rays on all your tribe
Sunshine healing sunshine feeling
It’s the essence of our being
Sunshine parade sunshine displayed
In its factualistic brocade,
Sunshine tranced sunshine danced
Giving our souls such sweet romance
Sunshine dove sunshine above
Thanks for your sweet rays of love
So sun-kissed and pure sun-blessed
Sunshine blocks out all the mist
So sunshine mellow sunshine yellow
You’ve made me very lucky.
Sunshine light sunshine bright
Not a dark cloud close in sight
Sunshine thrive sunshine imbibe
Sweet healing rays on all your tribe
Sunshine healing sunshine feeling
It’s the essence of our being
Sunshine parade sunshine displayed
In its factualistic brocade,
Sunshine tranced sunshine danced
Giving our souls such sweet romance

Now it is not funy at all!!
I can handle the rain.
But more snow on the way?
Dear Mother Nature,
What did we do to make
you so angry? Snow, really?
Sigh....

Day 110

Parilia


Date Apr 21 Every year

Description Parilia was a festival described in detail by Ovid in Fasti. It took place on April 21st and consisted of offerings of grains, cakes, and milk to the god of shepherds, Pales. It served as a festival for protection and fertility for farms.

The purpose of the festival was twofold. Originally, it was a pastoral festival to purify both sheep and shepherd. Later, the festival was recognized as the birthday of Rome, the day on which Romulus killed Remus and founded the city in 753 BCE. The Parilia is outstanding among Roman festivals as it incorporates both the rural and urban celebrations of Roman religion, and also incorporates elements from other festivals.

The origins of the Parilia are not entirely certain. The original festival itself is believed to predate the founding of the city. It is believed to have evolved from very early pagan celebrations of spring and fertility. It was originally a celebration of the deity Pales. The identity of Pales is somewhat obscure as well. It is unknown whether the deity was male or female, or even if it was intended to be a single deity or pair of deities. In the Fasti, Ovid invokes Pales as a singular female deity. Some identify certain statues of an elderly woman leaning on a shepherd staff as Pales, but others hesitate to make this claim, and believe no representations of Pales actually exist. Offerings were often made "sive deo sive deae." The association of the Parilia with Pales is, in fact, in doubt. However, references to the Parilia as the Palilia reinforce the association.

Day 109

Started the day with a headache and it went down hill from there. One bad call after another. I am hoping tomorrow will be better.
I keep searching and hoping something that I would be more comfortable with will come along.
Fingers crossed.
Prayers said.
Must find the perfect spell.
Please let me find the way tomorrow.

Day 106

• Full Pink Moon
April This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.

Day 104

Start of Willow Celtic Tree Month

The Willow moon was known to the Celts as Saille, pronounced Sahl-yeh. The Willow grows best when there's lots of rain, and in northern Europe there's no shortage of that this time of year. This is a tree associated with healing and growth, for obvious reasons. A Willow planted near your home will help ward away danger, particularly the type that stems from natural disaster such as flooding or storms. They offer protection, and are often found planted near cemeteries. This month, work on rituals involving healing, growth of knowledge, nurturing and women's mysteries.

Fordicia

The Fordicia, also called Hordicidia, was a Roman festival for the goddess Tellus held on April 15.

This Year April 15th Is Not Tax Day; Its Emancipation Day


Everyone knows April 15th is tax day. But this year, it is also Emancipation Day. This is a holiday in Washington D.C. that frees everyone from having to file their tax return until Monday.


"Most people think today might be the deadline, that's OK because it means they file a little early," said IRS spokesman Michael Devine.

If you still need more time, the IRS says it's not a problem. As long as you file an extension by Monday
