The Fair came to town and with its bright lights & colors, carnival music and squeals of delight came the cleansing rain. It was very fitting.

It is Sunday morning and I have just enjoyed an entire hour of solitude while my little munsters lie tucked away in their beds still in wonderland. I've spent it finishing up my Van Gogh painting, watching netflix and enjoying a smooth cup of coffee. And now adding new creations to the House.
What's been happening in the House? Here are a few new additions.
First Flight Section:
A post for when casting a circle for spellwork. This is great for when you don't know which deity you would like to work with or just prefer to have an opening to any that show up ;)
Recipes:
These are perfect recipes for Beltane but they can be also used for Litha as well. Aphrodite's Sangria is non-alcoholic so it works well for the little munsters in your life.
Extra Lore:
A few little ideas to bring magick into your life. I am sharing this from the Faerie Magazine ;) I've begun to bring in quite a few of these ideas into our house. Making the mundane magickal.
Crafts:
This is a super fun little craft that I am still playing with the recipe for. It's a good base to use and expand from for yourself.
This Month we are working on getting ready for our First Annual Midsummer's Eve Garden Party! Today we are getting the guest list together and invitations sorted out. It's a small guest list so we will be changing it up each year so that all can eventually make it. I'm excited to eventually share it all with you!
Nicole Canfield has a lovely new blogpost up titled "Call to the wild inside me" so make sure to check her out as well.
