You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

Sunday, as most of you already know, was Mabon, the second harvest festival.   Thanks to a dear friend of mine who dragged me out to "one of those pagan places I like so much," I would have not have the chance to sign up for the Tacoma meet up group I now now a part of.  Love ya Meriem, you crazy Christian you!

 

Anyway, I did go to the Tacoma meet up group/ TERRA's (another Tacoma pagan group) official Mabon ritual.  Last year I didn't even do anything for Mabon, so I was really excited to be able to take part of this ritual with other pagans.  Angela, the owner of Crescent Moon Gifts in Tacoma, and head coordinator for the Tacoma meet up group ran the ritual.  There was chanting, guided meditation along with drumming, and other giving thanks things we did as a group.  There was so much high energy that when I left  to go home I became really exhausted.  (I dont work with large groups enough!)  Next time I'll be sure to eat something before hand to help with that.  

 

There was also another added suprise after the ritual.  One of the couples there was celebrating their annivesery and wished to renew their handfasting vows.  It was very sweet and just increased the engery even more!  

 

Later while we were feating, a bald eagle flew above our site, another really nice surprise.  

 

Sometimes I wonder why, (living in Seattle and all) I commute all the way out to Tacoma when there are other local pagans in the Seattle area that I could meet up with, then I remember all of the really welcoming, friendly people whom I've met in this group and it makes the 30-60 min commute worth it.  

 

Bright Blessings,

Every few weeks I get a Lion Brand email that includes free patterns.  Usually they're not that great, however this week I got a really cool shawl pattern that I'm going to whip up as soon as I can!  It's called the Half Moon Shawl, it doesnt look exactly like a half moon, but a goddess symbol can be easily sewn into the back.  

So last night I went to my partners place and I gave him the cookies (the ones I made in my last post.)  I think they went over well.  That night we talked about listening to nature and other things and that night there was a crazy lightening storm!  I think the problem lies in that he (in a respectable humbleing way) doesnt look into nature signs in his own life because he doesnt see himself as apart of the larget picture.  Does every fallen feather have meaning behind it?  Does every storm have specific meaning to your own life?  He didnt think so.  I however told him that there needs to be balance in it.  I think as of late, I've been doing the opposite of what he has been doing.  I've been looking for meaning behind every crow's caw and every cloud.  So in acuality, the spell worked for both of us!  Hopefully for him to see more meaning behind other signs in nature, see the magic everyday, and for me to not try and look into everything so deeply.  The storm was there for both of us and probably for many others in our area to teach us things that we needed to hear or just for us to enjoy.  

As of late I've really wanted to cook something to help with my boyfriend be a bit more open in his faith.  He was the one who really got me into the craft and now it seems like he's just not into as much as he used to be.  I understand as humans we all go through stages where something that was once really important us seems less than it once was.  I've tried talking to him about how he feels about different things and it sometimes seems like I'm talking to a wall.
