Every Full and New Moon I do a personal post here on my blog. Note: NaNoWriMo tomorrow.
This month’s Full moon (Monday officially) is a very witchy moon due to the proximity to Halloween. There is a lot to do at this moment. It’a time for busy pagans, as we heathens believe this is the best time for certain kinds of magic.
The two weeks before and after Halloween, also known as Samhain, is a great time for spirit work. The veil between life and death is said to thin.
I do believe it is possible to connect with ancestors—to thank them, to remember those who have passed, and meditate on any problems you’d like their help with.
If you have ever wanted to do work with spirit guides–animals, angels, even plants–now is the time to start. Likewise if you’ve ever played around with runes, Tarot or other fun divination tool.
I have been meaning to do a few posts on this if anyone was interested, maybe on my other (neglected) art/spiritual/inspiration blog.
This special time of remembrance each year has been important to me.
I’ve never had a chance to know my mother. In fact for a long time I hated to mention her death which occurred I was three. It’s a bummer. I also lost my second grandfather two years ago.
Meditating on your ancestors is a great way to feel in touch, especially if you don’t have many memories.
My grandfather and I had a language barrier as he spoke a dialect of Italian—harder for me to understand than my other relatives. But in my meditation today that didn’t detract from our connection.
October has been jam packed, both on my blog–including the Bloghop contest ending tomorrow, my guest post over at Duolit, and my experimental Muse Cauldron inspiration project–and don’t get me started about my “real life.”
Yes, I do have one of those. Hurricane Sandy didn’t kill me nor did it harm the house or cats. Just buggered up my week is all, which is at the end of a long month.
And in a few minutes we shall begin, NaNoWriMo!! Add me as a buddy, pleeease.
And little secret: NaNoWriMo helped me take the plunge to cut a ton of hours at my office job. Yayy! Still waiting for it to take effect, but soon. And just in time.
I am making more room for my passions—writing, reading and my massage business.
November come at me, I’m ready. I did some great character interviews, see the Duolit link. I have a new writing desk (to be hammered), and I’m even going for a trip up to my novel setting in a few weeks.
My story takes place in Philadelphia. The year after college Shay volunteers at a nonprofit since the economy sucks and she wants to change the world. Falls in love on the internet to American writer, Ralston, living in Hongkong. But when it turns out he is wealthy enough to visit her whole world changes.
