what a perfectly lazy sunday! i have been up for about 3 hours and i am still in my pjs and i have been on the computer the whole time! lol! keeping up with you all is quite time consuming!! *not in a bad way of coarse! ;)* so my plan for today??? it is one of witchy goodness. i'm gonna go pick up some morning glory and perhaps some basil and other herbs. someone left a trellis by my trash so i took it and put it in my backyard. :D i'm going to have the m.g. climb it. and yesterday i had pizza with fresh basil on it. and damn was that good! so i was thinking i need some of that too. :) i also plan on doing some cleaning and laundry. cause i am over due! oh and i am thinking of doing a small spell for my bro. he is in japan right now! this is his first time out of the country. so i am excited for him! he is on a business trip and his wife will be meeting him out there too. :D so i just wanna do a little protection for him. :)
so here's a little side effect to my *psychic showers* {for anyone who missed that post: i do a small meditation before bed to let go of any anger/pent up rage/irritations/you get the idea! lol! from that day}. i have noticed that i forget what it was that irritated me! i wanted to post some things that happened the day i saw justin.. but i had to stretch to remember! lol! it's kinda nice. and once i remember i don't feel irritated or anything. it's like i am remembering something that just *happened*. kinda weird huh?!? i think i truly am letting go of it at that moment!
so here's some magical things that i wanted to tell you all about. {yes they involve the drama that i want to share. ;) } #1. i explained how justin stepped on a home made land mine... well... when he was deployed, i did a protection spell for him. it is the same one that i've done every time he's gone out. however, this time i placed protection on everyone who was with him. i ask to have all of his buddies protected. i ask to have no one who was with him die. {he's lost some great friends, so i didn't want him to have to go through that again!} what i find to be totally amazing, is that no one died! his platoon even was under fire when he was taken away, but no on died! and here's the things that are amazing to me. justin should've died on at least 2 of his deployments! the first time he was the gunner on the hummer. so he had the most dangerous job. he was completely exposed! and he was hit. they ran over a bomb and all he got was shrapnel in his hand and some hearing loss. the driver didn't make it. :( but really wouldn't you think the dude who is not inside the rolling vehicle should've been the one to loose his life??? and this time.... he stepped on a freaking land mine!! and so did 2 other guys who were with him! no one died. and check this out! when he got hurt, they called for a hummer to come and take him and the other injured ones away... that hummer hit a land mine! as far as i know, no one died. then they had to wait for a black hawk to come get him. once he was being loaded onto the helicopter, the attack began. so he and the other injured dudes were safe. crazy huh?!? when i heard about all of that it made me sit back and scratch my head. i am in awe of the awesome power of magic! that is intense! and thennnn..... his personality/positiveness and healing, i feel, has a lot to do with magic as well! he had some scares with blood clots, but he was ok. he is feeling good enough to put himself into a wheel chair! in his hospital room he has a roommate. that dude only lost 1 leg. when his doc came in he sounded like he was soooo sad. and sooo depressed. so see. you all are helping immensely! thank you so much for that! :)
now onto our bindings.... his step mom has been soooo good to him! her true colors are shining with my uncle, who in turn is telling us all about her wonderful demeanor *note the sarcasm!* however, justin is completely unaffected. at first, when i heard that she was being a bitch again, i was like damn it didn't work!! but then i realized i bound her to be good to justin. to not hurt him in any manor. so that, as far as i'm concerned, is working! the only thing that i didn't foresee as an issue is his father... my uncle. he is playing the victim right now. justin's mom has been with him this whole time. she even flew back to ca with him she hasn't been home at all. my uncle lives very close to where she lives, which is like 4 hours away from s.d.. apparently the military has housing for the families of the injured. so she has been staying there. well.. up where justin lives, there has been all kinds of fund raisers going on. my uncle said that you can't even go into a grocery store without seeing a bucket there for him. isn't that cool?!!? well, some of the money is being raised for his mom and dad so they can visit him. you know, for gas, dog sitter, and whatever else. my uncle's work has said that he can take all the time he needs off... well... here's the thing. justin is on his second week of being in ca. my uncle hasn't gone at all. he is saying that his ex wife has *probably* taken all of the money. that he doesn't know where any of it is... well you know what?? so f**king what! he's an adult, he can either call her and ask, or he can pay himself! why should justin not have his dad with him just so that he can prove a point! LAME!!! i went ahead and had my car fixed, even though it cost me more money then i had, just so i could visit my cousin! so why can't he! i make WAY less then him and i still did it! it cost me $600 to go see my cousin. it won't cost that much for my uncle. he can get housing from the military or he could stay with my mom who is like an hour away! ggggrrrrr that just pissed me off so much! and his wife has been selfish and i know that a lot of it has to do with her and the fact that she doesn't want to see my uncles ex!!! so ya. that's some of the drama! but like i said. i think the good outweighs the bad. as long as justin has his friends and some of his family and is in good spirits, then as far as i'm concerned, things are good! i've asked my mom over and over to let me go off on both of them. but she says no. they would be surprised at how mean i can be when someone i care about so much is being hurt! but i will bite my tongue and bide my time. if i ever see them directly hurt justin.. then there is no stopping me! lol!! they will have the full wrath of my grandma! i'm sure she will take me over! lol! ok. i think this is llllloooonnnngg enough! :D i hope you all have a magical day!! sending tons of luv to you all!
i did it! :D my first binding. it is done. it felt soooo good! and so very right. i took elements from all your suggestions. ~thank you all so very much for your help! i'd be so lost without ya! i guess most of the books i have are against binding. oh well. i like my spell, it was cool! here's what i did. i lit a fire in my yard. i have a table next to my fire pit thingy, so on that i placed some rune cards that i felt were special for this occasion. i used them as a guide, a way to keep things positive. i also laid out about 5 of the 10 crow feathers that i gathered. {i think this was their purpose, why i need to have them} i lit a black taper candle and a red one. *for protection and love* and i burned dragon's blood incense. i gathered yarrow, lavender, pentas, honeysuckle, chinese lantern, and geranium. i threw them in the fire. the yarrow, lavender, and honeysuckle were for love, peace, and calm. then the pentas and lantern were to represent me. they have some of my soul in them.. *they are my favorite in my garden* and the geranium is from my great grandma. my mom inherited the plants, then i took them. she was my cousin's g-gma too. so i wanted to tie that all in. then i wrote on a piece of paper some of the goals i had. and what i hope to accomplish with this. i then wrote on a separate piece of paper her name with her bad qualities. what i feared she may do. then i took that paper and wrapped it in black cloth. i made a little ghost out of it. ;) then i cut an opening right where the mouth would be. i recited the goals paper after the circle was cast. i said it 5 times. then i rolled it up and dripped candle wax on it from each candle. i also tied it in red yarn. i said something about sealing it and binding it. then i tossed it in the fire. i gave it to brighid. then i proceeded to sew the *mouth* shut of my *ghost*. i don't remember exactly what i said. but i know it was something about no harm, i do this with love, hold back her bad qualities, etc. i put the *ghost* in a safe spot. i'm trying to decide if i should keep it until she comes back, or if i should bury it. i was thinking the burying thing would be good. i could also put some of the ashes from the fire with her. and this way it may last longer. the spell that is. so then i sat and watched the fire. i thought of all the great times i had with my cousin.. it was quite magical. i felt the presence our my grandma and grandpa very strongly! it was really nice. :) it seems that almost every time i do something magical out side i am shown over and over my connection with air. every time i did something in which i used my focus and energy the wind would blow real hard! lol! it was pretty cool. a few times the candle almost went out! and it was pretty cool that my obnoxious neighbor didn't get home until it was done. it was really to perfect!
and with a special thanx to karismar and merle, the bitch is bound thrice! :D i have no doubt in my mind that this is gonna work. she will *behave*. thank you all again!
hi guys!!! so i wish i could stay and chat *grabs coffee cup and bagel* but i've gotta run! i've got 11 dogs i'm doing today! my first apt starts at 9 am and i should be home at 8 pm!!!! i will be making about $500! *clapping* yay!! but this is not any new clients, i just have a lot on my plate today. not to say i don't need the money!! lol! and looks like friday will be the same! eek!!! i'm gonna be one tired witch! so i'm sorry if i haven't been around so much. i've been all over the place {psychically and emotionally!} i'm gonna try to come on here tonight and check in on you all. i miss you guys!!!! so i leave you with some kick ass poe stuff!! enjoy!!
ok, today was once again a great day!!! :) wanna know why?! first off i did what Cerberus said. i surrounded myself with positive energy. and i did all i could to stay positive! i groomed dogs and had a great time doing it! :) i had to purchase a new dremal to my dismay.. i use it to grind down dogs nails.. mine had broken and i needed one today real bad! sooo i went a got one. i was concerned about the price {60 bucks!} but i knew that i needed it. so i said to myself that the universe would provide me with what i need. i will get the money back and be ok. :) and guess what... i got a check in the mail today from a client who pays me that way... but he usually takes his sweet time to pay and so i never count on his money! so i was very happy to receive that! and then, on my way home i got the best news ever!!!!! i don't know how to say this without squealing it... so here i go... I'M GOING TO SEE RINGO STARR LIVE IN JULY!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! *jumping up and down screaming at the top of her lungs!* :D its for my mom's b-day. she is a HUGE beatles fan, it is because of her that i love them so. she was never able to go see them, so i know that this is monumental for her!
this is not only my favorite ringo song, but it goes so well with the theme of my posts lately! lol!
what's with him an umbrellas!?!! lol!! so i've been messing around on the internet and look what i found.
i am stoked about natalie i, but lou diamond?!!! lol!! to funny!!
and then here's the best way to end this day. i came home to find this pic sitting in my inbox. this one of my mom's frenchie pups. her name is prudence... yes like dear prudence. she has named her kennels imagine kennels and she is naming her litters after beatles songs. she has roll over beatoven {ha, i can't spell!} i am the walrus {funny that he is my favorite! lol}, you're gonna lose that girl, sexy sadie, and bungalow bill. :) cute huh! so here's her prudence:
if that doesn't give you happy vibes i don't know what will!!!! :D so on that note, have a splendid day guys!! i hear mr. poe callin!! off i go! (((hugs)))~ alysia
so today's been a pretty great day! groomed some dogs.. 2 of them were new clients. *yay!!* so now here i sit resting, getting ready to go spread some earth day love. i've decided to take a walk and spend this day with my most favorite tree- steve. he is a beautiful pine tree. couldn't tell ya his make or model, but i know he's a pine! lol! i'm going to take a book and read under him. i also am going to bring some lavender from my garden for an offering/appreciation for him. and i will drop some off by my other tree friend. his name is fred. he has a big ol toe. i love him! so he deserves some lavender too. :) not a whole lot to report on the money front. i am STILL waiting on the bank to tell me if i got a loan or not! don't they care that i need the money last week!?!? oh! and tomorrow i am going to go to a meeting to try to get me some more clients. i have a friend who owns a gym and she told me that she went to this meeting thingy and she got 10 clients in 1 week!! it costs no money soooo *crosses fingers* i hope it helps! it's kind of a networking kind of thing. oh! and one other thing. i have decided to really dedicate myself to brighid. :D thanx to niamh i'm feeling pretty good about it! lol! i was worried about not celebrating the other god{des}s everyday. {like they would get jealous or mad!} but now i understand why she has spoken to me so much and why i need to celebrate her daily. i even set up my alter for her! and i am lighting a candle daily and saying a little somethin somethin. ;) i know that one of her symbols is a bee and i have seen soooo many of them lately! even in my comments. {thanx erin!} and i am usually kinda afraid of them. i've never been stung and i never wanna be! lol! but now that i seem them as a little visit from her i haven't been so quick to run away. and i have noticed that they are much more friendly and not as freaked out by me either. :) so ya. yet another direction in my spiritual path. :D
oh! and i have to tell you guys. the most perfect thing happened on sunday. i was getting things together to do my full moon ritual. i decided to do another protection spell for my cousin because he has been shipped back to iraq! there's a great worrier protection spell in the grimoire for the green witch book that i have. so i was getting everything together when i looked up and realized that it was 9:11pm!! so i quickly got the quarters called and got to work! what better time than 9:11 to do a protection spell for someone who is in battle right now! it felt supercharged and right. i have done this spell for him 3 times now! the first time his hummer got hit pretty bad by a road side bomb! he was the gunner {so the worst part on the hummer to be on if you get hit by a bomb!} and he walked away with only shrapnel in his hand as some hearing loss. and the last time he had not issues what so ever! so ya. i felt it necessary to conger up some protection for him! hope you all have a wonderful day!! off i go to commune with the trees!
and perhaps some basil and other herbs. someone left a trellis by my trash so i took it and put it in my backyard. :D i'm going to have the m.g. climb it. and yesterday i had pizza with fresh basil on it. and damn was that good! so i was thinking i need some of that too. :) i also plan on doing some cleaning and laundry. cause i am over due! oh and i am thinking of doing a small spell for my bro. he is in japan right now! this is his first time out of the country. so i am excited for him! he is on a business trip and his wife will be meeting him out there too. :D so i just wanna do a little protection for him. :)
