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.
