What do you call 13 Witches in a hot tub?
A Self-Cleaning Coven!
What do you call a dating club for unattached Wiccans?
Craft singles!
Apparently, Kraft were so insulted by the aforementioned joke that they decided to move to Jerusalem. And changed their name. Now they're called "Cheeses of Nazareth".
WHY M&M'S ARE WICCAN:
* MM = Merry Meet*
Round shape for wheel of the year, cycle of seasons
Skins are different colors, but the inside is the same chocolate, because we are all related.
Red = South
Green = West
Dark Brown = North
Yellow = East
Orange = For the Solar God
Light Brown = For the Earth Mother (Copper Woman)
* Rotate the M & M:
M = 13th letter of alphabet, and there are 13 witches in a coven
3 = Triple Goddess, three phases of moon
W = Witchcraft
Wiccan E = Enlightenment, Enchantment of chocolate
*"Melt in your mouth, not in your hand"
God/dess's love must be experienced directly to appreciate.
Also, God/dess will take care of you.
Sweetness to remind us of how sweet the love of the God and Goddess is!

Celtic Thunder:
This month, folk and Celtic music are being featured. Celtic Thunder might be one of the most-known Celtic bands out there. Based in Ireland, they tour internationally and are televised PBS. Each vocalist-including the youngest, Damian McGinty, aged 14-has his own style. The band is made up of McGinty, Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Paul Byrom, and George Donaldson, as well as a large orchestra. Their music is available on iTunes, as well as their site.
Their website can be found here: Celtic Thunder
They also have a MySpace, here: Myspace
-----
FAUN:
There’s not much to say about this German folk band other than this one word: Beautiful! Faun considers themselves to be a “Medieval Paganfolk band.” They mix the soothing sounds of nature with both ancient and modern instruments played by Rüdiger Maul and Niel Mitra, as well as three different vocalists, Oliver Sa Tyr, Fiona Rüggeberg, Sandra Elflein. They have a playlist on the bottom of their website to preview their music before buying it from their shopping page.

The Equinox…when day and night are equal, so what better time is there for balancing the elements within ourselves. Both Ostara and Mabon are excellent times for working this spell, and since (depending on where you are in the world) one or the other is fast approaching, now is the time to start planning your ritual.
What you need:
* 4 candles…green for earth, yellow for air, red for fire, and blue for water.
* Representations of the Elements…earth (the ground if you are outside or a bowl of dirt), air (incense or a breezy day), fire (already present if you have the candles), and a bowl of water, you can also use symbolic representations if you need to.
* Note: if you do not have any of the above items that is fine, while they are helpful, they are not necessary.
You can always simply visualize the elements when the time comes, if you don’t have actual representations of them.
How:
Find a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. Around your circle, make a small elements altar at each of the cardinal points, place a candle and the items at each one. The circle should be big enough that you can sit/stand comfortably in the center without disturbing the altars. When you have everything set up and are ready, ground and center, and then cast your circle. If you usually call the corners/guardians and invoke the Goddess, please feel free to do so. Once your circle is cast you can begin .
Stand in the center of your circle (if you feel called to do so raise your arms towards the sky):
say Spirit within me, Spirit without Unbalance within me, unbalance without Spirit within me, Spirit without Bring balance within me, balance without
Take a few moments, meditate on the Spirit within us and the Spirit all around us. What are some things in your life that are making you feel unbalanced, spiritually mentally and physically?
When you are ready, turn to the East:
say Air within me, Air without Unbalanced within me, unbalanced without Air within me, Air without Bring balance within me, balance without
Take a few moments, take several deep cleansing breaths…feel the air as it enters your body and becomes a part of you, feel the air around you, take a few moments and meditate on the air that moves us. What do you need to move in your life, that will help to bring balance?
When you are ready, turn to the South:
say Fire within me, Fire without Unbalance within me, unbalance without Fire within me, Fire without Bring balance within me, balance without
Take a few moments, watch the candle flames as they dance and flicker, feel the warmth, look deep into the flame and take a few moments to meditate on the Fire that transforms us. What do you need to transform in your life, that will help to bring you balance?
When you are ready turn West:
say Water within me, Water without Unbalance within me, unbalance without Water within me, Water without Bring balance within me, balance without
Take a few moments and look into the water, see the ripples and reflections in its surface. Take a few moments and meditate on the Water that shapes us. What needs shaping in your life, that will help to bring you balance?
When you are ready turn North:
say Earth within me, Earth without Unbalance within me, unbalance without Earth within me, Earth without Bring balance within me, balance without
Take a few moments and feel the earth with your hands, feel the strong foundation it gives you, the security you feel as the earth cradles you in her arms. Take a moment and meditate on the Earth that heals us. What needs healing in your life, that will help to bring you balance?
Sit/stand quietly in the center for a few moments, reflect on the lessons of each elements. Feel each one connecting and flowing within, and without. When you are ready:
say Elements within me , Elements without Now balanced within me, now balanced without Spirit within me, Spirit without Now balanced within me, now balanced without
When you are done, be sure to thank the God/ess and guardians (if you called on them), and then open your circle.
Blessed Be!! |
