Wolves, Fae and Updates!

Today the Moon is waxing and in the sign of Libra! This means it is the perfect time to find some balance in your life. I manage my life by my itinerary and lists!!

As you know for the past few weeks I have been working on a selection of new updates. They are all ready to be shared!! I've decided to share them one day at a time so as not to overwhelm everyone!

Day One:
The first is a fun project that I have been working on:
Jordan Family Clock

Day Two:
I've had this saved for awhile now so it's nice to finally share! There is a new section called "A Witch's Garden" and this will consist of the herbs/plants/garden stuff that we use here in the House.

So first up is the very important:
Nettle Infusion

I have also added the Infusion How To in my "House Witchery Section". So there are two updates today!!

Day Three!
Rose Petal Cookies

Day Four!
Two updates today as they go together ;)

Crystallized Flowers
Nanaimo Bars with Pansies

Day Five!!
This one was so much fun to make. Try it out, it's super easy. This update will be updated in the future as I am sharing with you my first go at this type of candle making and it still needs a few tweeks.

Taper Candles & Molds

Day Six
Lots of updates to this one. So many that I put off my other update for tomorrow. These updates below are all for Lughnasa!!

Lughnasa
Apple Cider
Kitchen Spoons
Harvest Corn Dolls
Demeter

Day Seven!!!
Three more updates today and they all work together! These will be my last updates for this post.

Casting a Circle
Element Altars
Evoking the Elements

Hope you enjoy the these updates ;)

Some more new happenings in the House of the Bone Witch. Yesterday I was blessed with my new tattoo, a custom designed Wolf Tribal Mandala!! from Britt at the Bella Rose Tattoo Studio. The wolf is my spirit animal (Which I will go more into at a later date ;) )

I've started the beginnings of my Lughnasa Altar!! Well literally one thing, but even just this one addition and I'm getting super stoked for the fall. Here it is:

A Pumpkin Faery Home

Some big news: I've retired my pentacle necklace. I will no longer be wearing the star for protection. Just too many connections to the covens. I have, however, invested in a new necklace that embraces my inner wild woman. I will share when she comes in ;)

I'm putting work into my new itinerary plans which will include: a Black Scrying Mirror (Still in the works, as I posted this in my last itinerary), Lughnasa Altar, Pentacle Earrings, Hand stitched Book of Shadows, A Baba Yaga Painting, A new beginnings spell, Canning List... and I'm still brainstorming ;)

Anyway thats all for now!

Kitchen Magic

Making the mundane magikal is so important to keeping my sanity as I am a stay at home mom. Cleaning everyday can get to be so tiresome without a little zest to it. As I am sure it is with anybody cleaning everyday. I have designed a new Page for House Witchery. A place for making the mundane magikal.
Here are the new updates! Some are some oldies, just revamped ;)

Citrus Cleaner
Abundance Jar
Sinks & Drains Magick
Kitchen Deities
Flowers
Mushroom Witch
Kitchen Altar

Yesterday I worked out an itinerary for my week. I've included: Infusions, Candle Mold Making, my Jordan Clock, some new blog pages for House Witchery, Black Mirror Scrying and making and creating a new Book Of Shadows.

Up today on my Itinerary is: Candle Mold making, Printing off two more pics for the clock, forming back pieces for the pics, hopefully being able to attach the last bits to the clock (depends on if the pics are ready or not) and hunting down the perfect mirror!!

Today our Moon is in its Last Quarter phase and in Aries until 8:18 tonight where it shall then be in VOID.

Peace and Love
The Bone Witch

Forwards

Oh my, so much has happened since my last post. So much. I do have a few updates to my site, nowhere near what I had wanted with my last posting. The Akasha Spell fell through the cracks as my coven sister bailed on me. I could kinda feel her drifting the last few times we met, so it did not come as a complete surprise, but it was also... a surprise. I had hopes that perhaps she would contact me in the previous months as I left the ball in her court, but sadly she didn't. So it's taken me a bit, but I am moving forward. Not going to lie I've been running through alot of emotions about the whole thing. I am sad and upset, but when someone pulls away from me I am not going to force them to stay or try to convince them otherwise. I was very honest, very open and vulnerable and I guess it was just not enough or perhaps too much. I do take half the blame as I was unwilling to push and ask why. With sadness in my heart I move forward.

Forward:

This week I have been working on catching up with adding some things to my site.

Beltane
Backyard Altar
Wood Nymphs
Protection Star
Lavender Tea Bread
Citrus Cleaner
Wind Moon 

In the past few months I have been doing smaller witchy things. I have been making the mundane magikal in my kitchen and my backyard! It's been so much fun! I am learning how to cook with flowers!! And what magick it brings to the home! Please take the time to check out my new pages! Bring the magick into your own home!

This month Raven, my familiar, turns 13!! Thirteen! I've had him since he was a baby. I got him from the SPCA and they found him in the middle of traffic downtown in the city. He bit the person that picked him up and saved him haha! He used to be so feisty as a kitten, he would attack everyone but me. As he grew older he mellowed quite a bit. I used to take him everywhere in my giant purse. He would ride on the dash of my truck. He used to lay in the middle of my circle within my altar. He now spends his days in his retirement home at my Parents. I could not keep him in the house anymore as he poops and pees everywhere and I have a toddler rolling around on the floor. So my parents offered to take him and care for him in his old age. So grateful. They feed him and care for him better than I did!! Which is saying alot! When I went out to see him last weekend he didn't look so good. His fur is of course shedding at this time, but he has lost alot of weight. His once black fur is going a cinnamon brown. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

It's that time of year again!! If you haven't already you should be out gathering the last of the Alberta Roses!! They not only work great for spells and Divination tea, but they also work great in baking! Which I will be giving a go at in the next few days!

Bones and I went on a weekend getaway and I managed to find some more dragons beard, lichen and roses!

So that's the updates for now! I am currently working on my own itinerary for the coming weeks. Some things that will be included are: homemade floor wash, candle molds, infusions, crystallized pansies and new flower recipes, a magikal family clock, a new book of shadows and palmistry! And these will all of course be added to my site! Any questions feel free to comment or email me!

April Madness

Lots going on this month! Working with Akasha, Fae, the Sun and Plant Energy! I will be adding my own Herbal Section, which entails all my research on the herbs that we use in our home for home remedies. I'm not sure what it will be called yet. So don't go looking for a herbal section just yet ;) Also I am NOT an herbalist, this is my own research and my own family's use and experience with these herbs. Do Your Own Research before using. I will stress that out on every single page. This month is also preparation for Beltane!!!! I will have loads of Beltane Projects in the following weeks. If you live in Northern Alberta make sure to get your witchy butts off to Matta Fest for a huge welcoming of Beltane. This month's full moon is the Wind Moon, coming up on Tuesday!! Check back for a link here soon.

I've been Spring Cleaning here! This past week I cleaned out a bunch of stuff and re-organized. This week I will be adding in my magick with the mundane. Magick floor washes, spray cleaners, little protective spells. House Witchery at its finest ;) I will be sharing all this fun stuff throughout the week. Of course Spelling prep takes time so I will be posting in steps, just make sure to follow along at your own pace. This will be the page to find the new updates as I will add the links here as I go.

Lots, LOTS going on in the House. I can not wait to share them with you.

Peace and Love

Wednesday

Many updates to House of the Bone Witch. Much has been happening in all this silence. Spring has arrived and with that I am dealing with Spring Cleaning, Ostara, Birthdays, a new Spell with my coven, many doctor appointments for my youngest and dealing with church in a public school (yuck).
My coven and I just wrapped up a month long spell with working with the Hag. It has been quite the spell with alot of intense energy. This past week our spell came to a close and the Hag gifted us. It was unexpected (which was silly) and hard truths were learned by us both that are just too personal to post at this time for myself.

That being said here are the Updates!

Crow Moon
Ostara Projects
Invocation of the Hag
Calling out the Hag
Hag Offerings
Hag Altar
Cleansing Bath
Divination Tea

Settling in for the Long Nights

Winter is coming I can feel it in the air. My parents who live further North have already had a taste of snow. I am excited for the seasons to change, for summer to sleep and the cycle to continue.
Our home is starting to fill with the decor of Samhain. We will be visiting the graves of our ancestors this month. We do this every year. We play them songs and tell stories of them. We honour their memory with keeping them alive in our hearts. I love this time of year. This week I look forward to creating my Samhain Altar space and speaking to the children of not only our past ancestors but also of the world's veil being at it's thinnest and how the tradition of Halloween came to be and our own traditions of Samhain.

I will update as I go and add to my blog.

Peace and Love
