2012

I have been posting a lot on my main family blog lately but this one has just gone by the wayside it seems. I have not forgotten it but  a lot of the things that i would post here I have been posting there and well, so you have it. Winter is gone and Spring is half over and the new baby is due in May or early June. Pop over to my main blog to catch up. The link is on the side bar.....

Wow I didn't post at all in November!!!

I have been all out of sorts this whole season. I was so into Fall last year and this year it is almost over and no inspiration. Maybe Winter will hold some magic for me. I have been selling some new things on my Etsy site. Check it out at Motherly Creations. I make custom orders.....


Come on Winter.....

Beginning of the season

The world has tilted. The air is becoming cooler. The candles are lit with fire earlier and earlier every every night. The earth is beginning to rest. The waters are too cool to swim in....


Ahhh Fall is HERE!

Making a labor and birth sachet...

A friend of mine lives across the pond and had her Blessingway yesterday (on the Equinox I am so jealous). I was not able to attend in body but I sent her energy and wished her well. I felt compelled to make her a labor and birth sachet. The cloth is from reclaimed cotton (an old T-shirt). The tie is made of jute. Inside the sachet I placed the following:

Stones (beads)
- Amethyst for overcoming fear
- Unakite for drawing off negative energy and giving confident control
-Mookaite is a healing stone that bestows strength

Herbs
-Coriander for protection and to preserve independence against outside pressure to conform or obey
-Dill for protection, blessing, and mental clarity
-Fennel for protection, blessing, and magical healing

Thank you Jenna for sharing this picture with me. It helped brighten my day!!

Happy Fall Equinox

I am so ready for Fall this year. This day was all out of sorts though. I have to remember to not schedule work on the solstices and equinoxes. I felt so rushed all day. This flower (I believe it is a Black-eyed Susan) helped ground me. Lyn and I decorated the altar later in the day but the day just seems off. I think I just need so alone time. That is always  hard with the kids... and Dad needing a break from them too. I always feel guilty when I want to go off by myself. Maybe when the weather actually cools off enough to turn the air-conditioner off I will feel more in tune with the season.....
