As a practicing Solitary Eclectic Wiccan since 1982, I use my knowledge and
experience to help those who request my assistance.
In the Spring of 2004 I started Kereena's Grimoire. This blog provides Wiccan resources
and support free of charge to anyone interested in Wicca or magick. This is also one
method of accessing the many spells, charms, and other products I produce.
Also visit ScenicPixel.com to view my photoblog, or Flickr to view all my
photographs.
Read the official Newsletter of Kereena's Grimoire. Published quarterly, it's packed
with tips, tricks, tutorials, special offers, spells, and more delivered directly to
your inbox.
The Dyad Moon represents a time when we honour the union between the Lord and the
Lady and its Earthly consummation. Productivity is in full gear and difficult goals are
within our grasp. To celebrate wear bright, lively colours and decorate yourself with
flowers. Burn gold and silver coloured candles. Your incense should be jasmine. Use
fresh flowers to decorate your home and white lace to mark the boundaries of your
Circle. Serve your guests frosted cake with champagne or fruit-flavoured sparkeling wine
to wash it down.
This is the Sabbat known as Beltane, the fire and fertility festival, which is also
known as May Day. Following Celtic tradition, this Sabbat begins at sundown on April 30
and ends at sundown on May 01. Wear green or bright colours and adorn yourself with
flowers. Burn green coloured candles anointed with floral oil and use flower decorated
candleholders. Your incense should be a mixture of rose petals, almond and frankincense.
Use flowers to decorate your home. Mark the boundaries of your Circle with flower
petals. Serve your guests a breakfast-like meal for dinner (bacon and eggs, sausages and
pancakes, etc.). Remember to leave a plate outside on the East side of your property for
the Sun God.
April turned out to be busy beyond belief. Work, friends, and all the little things I try to do just overwhelmed me. I'll be continuing the updates around here eventually, I just need a breather!
I'm sure I've mentioned this a million times, but I'm lucky enough to have a desk in front of a huge window wall at work. It's through this window that I've had the pleasure of watching Spring arrive. Just over the past week the leaves on the trees across the street have finally burst. Flowers are blooming and the temperatures are getting mild.
There has been a bit of rain too mind you. We had a huge storm move through a week ago, and predictably I was stuck in my car right in the middle of it. The rain was coming down so hard that the only part of the car in front of me that was visible was its break lights! I watched as the wind blew newspaper boxes to the ground and fling a silly bicyclist right off his bike.
The rest of the week wasn't quite as violent weather-wise, but still damp. It follows the warmest weekend of the year which saw temperature hit the 25C mark here in Toronto. It was fabulous!!
Yes, I'm finally feeling the spirit seep back into my body. I'm also buoyed by the sale of three articles I wrote on car maintenance, the inclusion of four of my photographs in an exhibit held in a gallery in Switzerland, and an author has asked my permission to use a photo with his article appearing on the Ministry of the Environment website.
It has nudged me to spend more time writing and snapping photos. I will continue to keep things going around here, so no worries. It will just be my usual summertime lag.
