Brite Blessings to all of my friends from past, present and future.
I am enjoying a really relaxing afternoon at the office, I have managed to tick all the boxes, dot all the i's and cross all the t's and am now writing this while listening to the relaxing sounds of whales and dolphins at play.
So what can I tell you about the week so far?
Following on from the eventful weekend things quietened down into a dull roar - I went for a bike ride of some 5 miles on Monday, 6 miles on Tuesday and am hoping to add another mile tonight.
Yesterday Alison Tina and I had a "Cloudburst" session (apparently it is no longer PC to say a "brainstorm" for some odd reason) around the Changing Times project and have now formulated a pricing structure from this session. I also made some enquiries about advertising and was horrified to see the amount that the particular target magazine was quoting...... over £2000 for a quarter page add and over £65 a centimetre for simple lineage - er don't think so at the moment.
So it is back to the local press etc. for the moment.
Yesterday I also had a meeting with the business accountants 10 til 2.45 that was a long one!! Anyway it seems that the position is somewhat better than we thought, BUT there is a lot of confusion over some of the contracts that are running so muggins here has now got the wonderful job of sorting them out and putting them in order - oh well that's my summer sorted!!!
On a much pleasanter note (omg!!) I have heard this afternoon that my whole Voice Over CD is now being used by the Thai clients - yippeee!!!!! so that means that there is the potential for up to 100,000 people a week to be hearing yours truly as they go about their holiday or their daily business.
FAN BLOODY TASTIC!!!
anyway friends since it is almost time for me to go, there is only one thing that remains and that is to wish you all the best things that life can bring.
Love, Light and Blessed Be

Monday Musing
Well good afternoon we are now into the realm of the Holly King, the 2nd half of the year and heading for the harvest. The days should remain warm for several weeks yet so a great time for the annual hols.
So what of the Merlin this weekend?
Well on Litha eve we attended a wedding on the top of a hill, overlooking the sea and held in a massive teepee, the sun warmed us during the early part of the evening and looking out to sea (so calm and still) the colours were amazing. The wedding guests included several people from the entertainment world and one very famous artist who lives in North Devon. To take them to the "wedding village" this person loaned one of his own collection of rare cars to the happy couple.
Having left the wedding we went home, Alison went off on a hen night (ready for the next wedding in 2 weeks time) and I set about the decoration of the house prior to the coming day. Yellow and gold ribbons, red and green ribbons, mulberry and cream candles. Then did some studying until the girls came home.
Later, I took a friend, Tina, home and having left her I became very much aware that I was not alone, I was being accompanied by magical beings dancing around me, darting here there and everywhere.
I finally got into bed about 4am, too excited to sleep, yet too tired to drive and climb hills to watch the sunrise. I must have fallen asleep because I wakened at around 8.30am, showered, dressed and greeted the day, lit one of the mulberry candles and settled down to drink my coffee.
As is often the case I sat cross legged on the floor, barefoot. I noticed a tiny purple glass bead lying next to me, I immediately recognised it as being one from the bracelet Tina had been wearing yesterday, so I picked it up and held it in my hand. .......
.....no sooner had I done this that I started to get pictures in my mind
1. Tina being in a melancholy mood and feeling very sad
2. Tina being hemmed in somewhere by high walls and bars
3. A brown draw string Dorothy Bag which changed into a brown back pack
4. A key or keys contained in the bag that were of great importance to Tina
5. A bride wearing a figure hugging, white wedding dress with an extremely long train
6. Tina wearing a large wide brimmed hat and being in a position of authority at a society wedding
7. Lots of little girls spreading flowers on the floor
and
8. a Top Hat
Now at first I thought that this was all relative to the fact that weddings are in the air at this time of year and as I have said earlier we were at one on Sat and are going to another in a couple of weeks.
But the key thing was a little odd so because I was in no doubt about this I sent a message to Tina asking her if she had or knew anything to do with a brown Dorothy Bag
about an hour later I received a message back from her saying What bag and why?
I explained exactly as I have above and at 8pm she sent me this message
shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have a small black draw string bag and i found a small like pad lock key in it.. i found it b4 u sent me the message i was sorting out my hair dressing stuff from last night and my curling tongs and straightners were in the black draw string bag i emptied it out and a key fell on the floor BLOODY HELL.
So if this is the start of new things and talents coming to me then I am truly grateful to the Goddess that She has seen fit to bestow this gift upon me and I look forward to being able to use it wisely.
Finally, after being missing for at least 2 years my original Book of Shadows reappeared yesterday and it has now been updated to include my current one. This seemingly insignificant occurrence indicated to me that the positive energies are returning to our house after the spate of negativity that infected us in 2007/8. It has taken practically the whole 12 months to remove the remains of that person's negative impact and both Alison and I are glad it has now gone.
So dear friends have a great day and take care of yourselves.
May the Goddess protect and keep you
Love and light and Blessed Be.

Friday's Musing
It is now Friday 19th June and we are rapidly approaching the Summer Solstice - the time of the year when the Oak King, who represents the waxing year, is triumphed over by the Holly King, who represents the waning year. The two are one: the Oak King is the growing youth while the Holly King is the mature man.
Midsummer or Litha is a time to celebrate both work and leisure, it is a time for children and childlike play. It is a time to celebrate the ending of the waxing year and the beginning of the waning year, in preparation for the harvest to come.
Midsummer is a time to absorb the Sun's warming rays and it is another fertility Sabbat, not only for humans, but also for crops and animals. Wiccans consider the Goddess to be heavy with pregnancy from the mating at Beltane - honor is given to Her. The Sun God is celebrated as the Sun is at its peak in the sky and we celebrate His approaching fatherhood - honor is also given to Him. The faeries abound at this time and it is customary to leave offerings - such as food or herbs - for them in the evening.
Decorations around the home might include Summertime flowers - especially sunflowers - love amulets, seashells, aromatic potpourri and Summer fruits, yellow and gold ribbons (these can also be used to decorate trees in the garden).
So what better time to be celebrating the wedding of two friends tomorrow (Midsummer's Eve)?
The Tarot is showing lots of positive change in my life at present -
"The Sun card signifies a time of clarity and power. The Sun will offer light and warmth after a dark time in your life. It is a sign of rejuvenation and growth, and shows that you are starting to flourish in your current situation. The Sun is associated with happiness, growth and good fortune. Your path has been illuminated and good fortune is on its way".
So dear friends thank you for reading and until the next time let me wish you all
Love, Light and Blessed Be

Thursday's Musing
Well first I have to say that as a complete stranger to this "bloogin" sorry "blogging" thing I don't really know what I am supposed to do or say, although everyone tells me that I should have a "blog"
So maybe in the first instance it will be best if I talk about the things that I find important in this life and take it from there.
So keep your eyes peeled, your ears skinned, your fingers chopped and your toes grated and let's see where this ride takes us over the coming months.
Until the next time, take care
Blessed be
The Merlin
