Monday 2/29/2016 On Saturday we had the third in our series on Cultivating Resilience and Inner Healing. I am enjoying our time together creating, sharing and healing. Amped-Up Self-Love How are you doing so far with Amped-Up Self-Love? I put a heart-shaped note on my bathroom mirror as a reminder. May need another one here…
I like to do some work on Saturn after the Winter Solstice when Sol enters Capricorn, because that is my sunsign, ruled by Saturn.

Here’s some lyrics from a Brit metal band called “Inkubus Sukkubus” CD titled Wytches & Vampyres – The Best Of These herbs are often associated with “flying ointment”, a good contemplation for this darktime of the Wheel… Belladonna and aconite Give to me the gift of flight Take me up, ever on in the night…

OZZFEST notes ’05 My yearly pilgrimage to pay respects to Cernunnos was excellent as always. High Priest, Ozzy ain’t moving around on stage like Britney but considering what he’s been through, it’s astonishing and magikal that he’s vertical and up there at all. And he doesn’t lip synch.
