There’s
plenty of magick and free rituals to be had, so settle in and enjoy!</span></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">If your mystical perusing makes you hungry there are freshly
baked cookies on the counter, still warm! Or help yourself to a steaming cup of
tea. Mugs are in the cabinet by the sink. But don’t touch the pink one! That
one’s mine. I’m territorial when it comes to mugs. And chocolate. And, if I can
be honest, toothbrushes. But I think you feel me on that one. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately I’m not territorial when it comes to free spells. So
poke around and find what speaks to your witchy heart. Full moon spells? We got
it. Holiday castings? Coming right up. How to manifest on a dime? Got you
covered, my Pagan friend!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Of course if you’re looking for even more magickal musings

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Spring is here, my friends! Can you feel it? The warmth on your skin. The melodic twitter of birds. The lush grass beneath your feet. The hay fever clogging your nose. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Worth it, I say. Totally worth it for tulips and daisies and lilacs, oh my!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With spring comes Beltane, the sabbat of fertility and promise. The Goddess is fertile, the God is ripening into a man, and the birds and the bees are gearing up to knock boots.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Very small boots. I mean, it's a bee. Do they even have feet?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Celebrated on May 1st, Beltane is the celebration of fertility and vitality. But one can only *ahem* celebrate their fertility so many times in a day, am I right? Here are five cost-free, Astroglide-free ways to celebrate May Day!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">...And lose the Astroglide, kiddies. This isn't the 80's. Coconut oil, my friends. You're welcome! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ribbon Wish Tree</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We've all seen the pictures of Maypoles with maidens dancing in circles, weaving colorful ribbons in jubilant celebration. This is a tribute to the God, honoring his strengthening masculinity. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A ribbon wish tree is a similar concept with out all the hassle of erecting a pole. *ba dum tss* Using long lengths of ribbon or even strips of recycled cloth, decorate a tree in your yard, making one wish per ribbon. When you're done, dance and frolic beneath the tree, invoking all the cheery delight of a Tampax commercial. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Flower Braids</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you long for the beauty of a flower crown but don't have floral tape on hand, I've got your covered! Well, if you have long-ish hair I have you covered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Honor the maiden Goddess by weaving your hair into braid pigtails just like you did as a child. Or like you did last week if you're a witch who refuses to give up this hairstyle. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey! Don't judge me. It's convenient and adorable. I will not be braid shamed! =P</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once braided, pick wildflowers and add them to your braids, weaving them into the folds for added security. Viola! You're now selfie ready, you beautiful goddess! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For all four men that read this blog, feel free to tuck a daisy behind your ear, you Casanova, because I'm guessing braids aren't an option. Sorry. We get the silky locks; you get to pee standing up. *shrugs*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Listen to the Flowers</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Take a stroll through your yard or favorite path and take note of any flowers. Pick them if you wish or simply spend quiet time observing their beauty individually. What impressions do you get? What feelings does that bud inspire? Does a tulip feel different from a dandelion? What magickal properties does each flower convey? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Keep a journal of your discoveries and notate any magickal correspondences you intuit, whether through mental sight, feeling, scent, etc. Then cross reference these impressions to a magickal correspondence encyclopedia. I recommend <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0875421229/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pennipagan04-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0875421229&linkId=fb6043f2530bfe6804a7ccfe57882434" target="_blank">this one</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738714291/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pennipagan04-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0738714291&linkId=ce4a289045009018d58304d9c5f9b674" target="_blank">this one</a>. You may find what you sensed didn't correlate to the book. That's okay! Remember, magick is a very personal thing. Trust <i>your</i> instincts and listen to the flowers! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Absorb Vitality</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Beltane is about life. Creating it. Celebrating it. Enjoying it! Take some quiet time to absorb all of that thriving energy. Practice a <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2016/02/morning-grounding-ritual.html" target="_blank">simple grounding meditation</a> in the grass by getting your bare tootsies in the soil, breathing deeply, and envisioning roots growing out of your feet and deep into the ground. Then imagine the energies of the Earth rising through the roots into your body, invoking vibrant, vital energy into your cells. This calming practice can be done any day of the year but is especially replenishing during the spring. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Balance Your Heart Chakra ( aka Where's the Love?)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Beltane is a sabbat of love, which means it's the perfect time for some heart chakra <i>(pronounced: shak-ra)</i> work. Chakras are energy points in the body, and if one is imbalanced it can affect you in many ways, including emotionally and physically. Living in our crazy, screwed-up world it's not uncommon for this important energy center to get a bit closed off. Take this sabbat of love to do a little tidying up in the ol' heart space. ;) Try a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXL2ObrT918" target="_blank">quick meditation</a> or even some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL_fhffZopY" target="_blank">heart-opening yoga</a>! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Please note: if you caught the Hanson reference in the title, we should be friends. And if you caught the Miranda Lambert reference just then, we should <i>definitely</i> be friends. =P</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, my dear compadres, go out and enjoy that fresh spring air! Breathe vitality into your lungs, savor the grass beneath your feet, and celebrate this gift of life!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Blessed Beltane!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">As I was taking my clothes out of the dryer yesterday, the freshly-scented heap woven into a clean bundle in my lime green laundry basket, I noticed a central theme to all my clothing—color, color, and more color. Crouched before my dryer, staring at this clean pile of cotton, I became convinced I will be that </span><span style="font-size: large;">crazy old lady who dresses in hot pink pants with purple polka dot shoes and a straw hat with massive neon daisies hot glued to it.</span></div></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hot glued them on, of course. You simply haven't entered full-on old lady crazy until you start making your own clothes with dollar store supplies. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Even now, in present day, I write this post while standing in pink pajama pants with little yellow tulips stamped across the fabric and a tank top in a beautiful shade of dusky lavender.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You didn't know all bloggers write while wearing pajamas? It's actually law— statute 238, section 3, part B. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Vibrant color and thriving vitality is unquestionably the best part of spring! Flowers bloom, bees are hard at work, and the scent of fertile earth perfumes the air. I'd like to think it's my love for spring that influences my confetti-esque wardrobe, but there's really no way of knowing. At the very least, I'm grateful I can manage to color coordinate my outfits. I am far from a sharp dresser, but most people don't point and stare.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ostara is the spring equinox, that glorious day in March (taking place between the 20-22) when sunlight and nighttime are equal. After today, the light overtakes the darkness by roughly one minute a day as winter ebbs and spring takes root.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Haha, horticulturist jokes. They are a feisty bunch, those horticulturists.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Like Mabon (autumn equinox), the vernal equinox is about finding balance, a time to shed the old and embrace the new. Have you always been curious about a new hobby, maybe knitting or wood work? Now is the time to take action and explore a new endeavor. Unlike Mabon, which is more focused on letting go (like the leaves of autumn trees), Ostara is more about embracing the fresh and new—new hopes, aspirations, spells, desires, etc! In other words, it's time to spring clean your life by opening those proverbial windows and letting a little fresh air and sunshine in! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Metaphorically, the Goddess is in her maiden state as the God's virility peaks. We see this in nature as Mother Earth awakens, enlivening the lands with blossoming plants and tender grass. And in the sun (God) as it gains strength and warmth, maturing towards summer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Eggs are a common incorporation of Ostara rituals, representing growth, potential, and fertility. Rabbits, a sacred symbol of the Goddess, also represent fertility and birth. It's considered good luck to see a rabbit or hare on Ostara! Though the over-sized fuzzy white mall attraction doesn't count, no matter what shade of pastel bow tie he wears.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I mean, who the hell wears a bow tie without a cummerbund? Seriously! Totally uncouth, mall rabbit. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're planning an Ostara feast, make sure to include lots of fresh, cleansing vegetables and herbs in your dishes. Asparagus, dandelion, nettles, seeds, leafy greens, goat cheese, young meat (such as lamb or cornish hen), and dairy are all appropriate additions to your equinox spread.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking to cleanse and renew? Why not cast an energy-cleansing spell you can eat?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Crafting an altar? Choose the colors of the season to beautify your sacred space. Light/pastel colors are fitting, especially green and yellow (Goddess/God respectively). Treat yourself to some tulips, which represent the fertile womb of the Goddess. Or take a few extra moments to create a natural altar, like my Ostara altar below!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Between the holly jolly music and the endless sweets, Yule is a pretty awesome time of year! For me, it's a time to relax, restore, and most definitely indulge. I work hard in October and November to make sure I have a little extra time in December for reading novels, crocheting, and baking.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You know, things 80-year-olds like to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just as nature hibernates in the cold dark months of winter, Yule (the Winter Solstice) is a time for restoration and reflection. It's the shortest day of the year, generally falling between the 20-22. </span><span style="font-size: large;">As the days progress from here on out, light will extend by roughly a minute each day, showing us that even in our darkest hours there is hope for a new dawn. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Representing the God, the sun is reborn during the solstice. Having proverbially died on Samhain, the God's death cycle has now ended and life is restored, which is why Yule is often called The Renewal. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">...If you want to be extraordinarily technical, the sun (God) returns the day <i>after</i> the Winter Solstice, since the solstice itself is the shortest day of the year (with the days following gradually giving in to the returning sunlight). This is why some celebrations begin on the solstice and party hard into the wee hours of the following morning. With my time of all-nighters behind me, I (like most others) celebrate on the solstice itself. Surely our ancestors weren't rigid in their celebration schedule since they didn't have NASA doing the math for them. Plus this sabbat is a time of rest, so there's no need to overcomplicate the darn thing. In case you haven't noticed, I do my best to keep it simple.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">=D</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You'll notice in the dormant nature around you the Goddess (nature) is resting after giving birth to the God (Don't overthink the familial ties here. It's proverbial). Now is the time to regroup and revitalize as The Wheel slowly turns toward spring. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're looking for foods to help celebrate the return of the sun, think hot and warm! Ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon are all wonderful additions to baking this time of year, honoring the return of the sun. Red/green, gold/silver celebrate the God and Goddess respectively, which is why we so commonly see decorations in these joyful hues. Pine, cedar, and spruce are popular in Yuletide celebrations, representing the eternal nature of our souls. Need some altar inspiration?

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Above all, remember this isn't a season of stress and overspending but a time we should stop to regroup and replenish. Find peace in the cycles of nature and honor the seasons. Take a few extra moments to indulge in something restorative to the soul, such as meditation or yoga. Find healing in the stillness by disconnecting from electronics. Relish the moments with your family...even if those aren't so quiet. Winter, and Yule specifically, is a time to nourish our bodies and minds, because nothing in nature moves nonstop—not even with a peppermint macchiato!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wishing you a magical, restorative Yule and a New Year brimming with health and happiness!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Wishing you a restorative, sugary-sweet, cozy-steeped, gingerbread-scented Yule!</span></h3>

Every purchase keeps the blog alive and is very much appreciated! ♥</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Without further distractions, here are some low-cost and cost-free ways to get your Halloween on!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Remembrance Rituals</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Through the Veil Paper Pumpkins</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cut out a pumpkin shape using black construction paper. Use a hole punch to poke holes into the paper. A sharp pencil will also work in a pinch. Each hole will represent the spirit of a transcended loved one you’d like to remember, so make as many holes as necessary. With a silver or white pen write one person’s name above each hole. When you are done, hang the paper pumpkin in a window that gets good moonlight. As the moon rises on Samhain night take a moment to stand before the pumpkin and say, “You are remembered.” As the moon rises in the sky the silvery moonlight will illuminate your paper pumpkin, each hole shining in loving remembrance of a transcended soul!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Linked Together Paper Chain</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Once again, break out the construction paper. Listen, I know it’s strange to be thirtysomething and still use construction paper regularly, but it’s affordable and the sound of scissors cutting through a fresh sheet just does it for me. Okay?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cut strips of orange and black construction paper. On the black strips write the name of a transcended loved one. On the orange strips write any messages you wish to convey to them. Link them together with tape or staples, alternating black and orange. You can, of course, make extra links so you have enough chain to string around your room. Have fun with it! It’s okay to be a little silly, even if you’re sorely missing your deceased friends and family.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On Samhain night, take a few moments to read the names and messages aloud (or in your mind if uber self-conscious) and when you are done simply say, “You are remembered.” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ribbons in the Wind Ancestor Tree</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Head outside and find a few smaller tree branches (twigs really) that will make a nice little tree decoration for your altar or table, something you can stick in a vase and hang ribbons from. Think: twig bouquet.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now you’ll need to cut some ribbon. I recommend using orange ribbon and black ribbon, because it makes for a really beautiful display. But you can use whatever you fancy. Cut yourself several pieces of each, roughly 8-10 inches long. Using a black or silver marker, write the names of your transcended loved ones on the ribbon. One name to each ribbon (extra ribbon is fine for decoration purposes). When you are done, tie or hang each ribbon onto your ancestor tree. As you tie each ribbon on say aloud, “You are remembered.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As an alternative you can simply tie the ribbons to a real tree outside, preferably an evergreen (representing the eternal nature of their souls). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>You Light Up My Life Mini Pumpkin Candles</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Did you know mini pumpkins make amazing candle holders for tea lights? Simply carve out the top as you would cut into any pumpkin, scoop out any innards, and voila! Pumpkin tea light holder. Of course, that’s just a decoration, not a remembrance ritual. Soooo....</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Use a permanent marker to write the name of a loved one across the outside of the pumpkin, one name to a pumpkin. As dusk falls on Samhain night, light your miniature pumpkin candles to honor their passing. As match touches wick say aloud (you guessed it!), “You are remembered.”</span></p><div><br /></div><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Free Printables</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Note: The Penniless Pagan hippie chick is only displayed for web security.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have a mug of apple cider? If you don't, I need you to immediately get up and find yourself a cup of apple-y goodness or a pumpkin-spiced treat before you begin this post. Go ahead...I'll wait.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">*Sips cider*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mabon is here, which means it's time for nutmeg, autumn leaves, and some serious sweater weather! And isn't that the best part of autumn—coziness, fall beauty, and scrumptious baked goods?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mabon is the first official day of fall, even if Samhain decorations have been in stores for a solid 6 weeks by now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Seriously, retail industry, we're not going to <i>forget</i> the major holidays. Can you chill out a little bit? Live in the moment, man. Find your zen, dude. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyone else smell patchouli?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, the autumn equinox (or what we Pagans call Mabon) is when sunlight and nighttime are equal. After today, the darkness will overcome the light by roughly a minute per day as The Wheel churns towards winter. As nature (Goddess) begins to slow down and harvests become less plentiful, the God begins his transition towards physical death, which we acknowledge on Samhain. Mabon is also referred to as the Witches' Thanksgiving, a time when we embrace gratitude for all the bounties in our lives (edible and otherwise!). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mabon occurs between September 20-23. L</span><span style="font-size: large;">ike the vernal equinox, Mabon is about finding balance in your life, which often manifests as a need to balance work and home life in our modern go, go, go era. But take a few moments on this cool autumn morning to reflect on your own personal circumstances. Is there an area that's been overlooked? Now is the time to give that aspect of your life a little love. Not sure where to begin? Why not ask your Guides for some direction by using this <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2016/10/autumn-moon-pumpkin-tarot-spread.html" target="_blank">Autumn Moon Tarot Spread</a>?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Full Moon is the siren of the sky, calling to us,
beckoning us to play. Under her silver luminescence we cast and conjure,
weaving spells and whispered incantations that swirl into the ether like fairy
dust in the wind. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">We dance beneath her pale moonbeams as she draws something
out of us, an innate connection to the hushed earth and star-kissed sky as all
the unspoken wonder and majesty of the nighttime world hums through our veins
beneath her rapturous light, carried by the same blood we share with our
ancestors. We worship her snowy glow and meditate in her pooling light. We draw
on her energy to enchant and incant. So often it is us who does the talking.
Telling her of her beauty. Asking of her energies. But now it is time to
listen! ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This Full Moon’s Secrets Tarot Ritual is part meditation, part
conversation with that lustrous gal we call the Moon. It’s a few minutes spent
in the silence of her magic(k)al light, allowing her energies to enter us and whisper
their secrets. It’s simple but sincere. Quiet but also quite fun. It’s a
wonderful way to spend a few minutes on a Full Moon’s night any time of year! So,
shuffle up and enjoy, my moon-loving friends! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

sit quietly in the moonlight, taking deep slow breaths as you marvel at the Full Moon’s beauty. Envision her energy spiraling out of the sky, infusing your

until you feel the deck no longer needs shuffling, or until three cards have
popped out. Remember, any cards that fall out during shuffling want to be
heard. Unless you drop a bunch. Then you’re probably just clumsy. ;) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

have your three cards, determine their meaning and notate in a journal, Book of

appreciate the art of each card and note any intuition you feel before
referencing the book. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it strange how when we need <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2017/01/5-acts-of-self-care.html" target="_blank">self-care </a>the most we usually feel too burned-out, overwrought, and generally incapable of carving out 15 lousy minutes to do something for ourselves? If you're anything like me then just the task of deciding on what the hell to do can feel like too much when you're cresting on overwhelmed. Instead, you settle in with something sugar-laden and your old buddy—the remote—and you don't resurface until Netflix asks if you're still watching. I'm fairly certain they use that black screen of judgement on purpose. I get it, Netflix. I need to do something with my hair. Can I just get back to my binge of <b>The Office</b>, please and thank you?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes crashing out can be just the ticket to feeling rested and restored. But many times what we really need is something nourishing for the mind, body, and/or soul to feel rejuvenated. Fortunately for you this witch loves herself some lists, so the hard work is already done for you! ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Summer is such a magical time of year. As the days stretch long into the evenings and fireflies light the ebony sky, the warm balmy nights of summer hold a sense that anything is possible, that any dream can be achieved</span><span style="font-size: large;">, and that opportunities are limitless. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, that's because they ARE!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The vitality that imbues those sultry afternoons and mild summer nights is not imagined. Litha, the summer solstice, is a peak time of magick and power among nature. The sabbat is <i>literally</i> called the sabbat of "great magickal power." The explanation is simple! Mother Nature (Goddess) is in her prime, bearing fruits with fertility to spare. The sun (God) is exercising his ferocity as well, reaching his peak strength on the solstice—the longest day of the year. Just as nature and sky alike buzz with fortitude and vigor, you too are at a heightened stage of magickal ability. So use that wealth of power, playboy! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Celebrated between June 20-22, the summer solstice (often called Litha) is the longest day of the year. After today, the sunrise and sunset will occur a bit earlier each day (by about a minute per day) as darkness slowly begins to overtake and the vitality of nature subtly wanes toward fall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But don't worry, you've still got plenty of time to enjoy that wavy beach hair and flip flops, so don't put those jorts away quite yet!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Litha is seen as a potent time to cast, as well as a time to encourage purification, protection, health (for that coming winter), and love. The colors of this hot sabbat are borrowed from the lush bounty of nature. Bright red, yellow, orange (God) and green (goddess) are all appropriate colors for midsummer festivities. But since any and all flowers are perfect for a <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2016/06/litha-altar.html" target="_blank">Litha altar</a>, I'd dare to say any bright and vibrant color is well suited for celebration! Need some inspiration? Check out this natural Litha altar that uses lemons and oranges to honor the sun! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Fresh fruits and vegetables, breads and cookies in the shape of the sun, lemons, oranges, and spicy foods are wonderful additions to a Litha feast.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Spring is such a lovely time of year! The earthy scents, bright green buds on the trees, and the sounds of chirping birds are all welcomed indications that nature is awakening from a frosty slumber. Slender grass tendrils poking through melting snow and that first day when mittens are no longer a necessity serve as a promise that those blustery winter days are slowly waning into the warmth and splendor of spring.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've noticed people who love fall tend to consider spring a close second to their favorite season. It makes sense, really. It's basically fall in reverse, nature yawning to life instead of preparing for slumber, as if someone hit rewind on the DVR.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you’ve been following the blog for a few years you’ll know spring in the Southwest wasn't nearly as exciting as in other parts of the country, mostly because cacti are pretty stagnant. They'll spear you any time of year, really. They're just so reliable like that. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, I’m back in my beloved New England where I once again get to enjoy the vibrant colors of a bourgeoning earth and the blissful fragrance of revitalized nature. And I’m extremely grateful for such an experience because spring is one of my favorite seasons. Easily in the top four. ;)</span></div><div><br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're looking for detailed information on Ostara, <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2016/03/ten-ways-celebrate-ostara-spring.html" target="_blank">check out this post</a>, which includes more free ways to celebrate! Otherwise, unwrap that chocolate bunny and let's get to celebrating!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Plant something</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In many parts of the country the ground is still frozen on Ostara, if not covered in snow. But that doesn’t mean you can’t welcome the (painfully slow?) arrival of spring by planting something indoors! Treat yourself to a pot of tulips, a countertop herb garden, or whatever plant makes you smile and enjoy a little spring essence on your windowsill.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Treat the bunnies</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Rabbits are a symbol of the Goddess, particularly during the spring. Seeing them is always a treat in my household, mostly because I live for anything covered in fur, but it’s also considered a blessing to encounter these lovely little lagomorphs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ahhh alliteration!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Give a sacrifice to the blossoming Goddess and her fertile earth by leaving some romaine lettuce* or berries for the bunnies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prepare your garden</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If the weather permits, start clearing out your garden and preparing the soil for spring-time planting. If you're reading this while glancing out your window at a foot of snow on the ground, why not plan on paper? Make a list of what herbs, vegetables, and fruits you'd like to grow once the ground thaws. It's a nice way to tackle the winter blues!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Brew a spring tea</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Just as nature refreshes and revitalizes, now is a good time for us to address natural detoxification approaches. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But, you know, easy. Because that's how this blog rolls.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Brew yourself a warm mug of spring tea to help your body transition from the long nights of winter to the budding days of spring. Choose herbs like nettle, rose petals, lemon peel, cornflower, calendula, or dandelion to aid in detoxification as well as celebrating spring with an herbal brew! Interested in specific herbal purposes? Check out my absolute favorite go-to herbal medicine reference book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591201934/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pennipagan04-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1591201934&linkId=7323ef93b17ec501faeb5c7c2f7cf7e4" target="_blank">The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine</a> by Brigitte Mars. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Make an omelette</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You gotta eat, right? Start your Ostara with a simple celebratory omelette (or egg scramble if you haven't mastered your diner skills). Use spring vegetables and herbs, like asparagus or chives, and a little fresh goat cheese to make a tasty—and sabbat specific— Ostara feast.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bonus—veggies and herbs are detoxifying, so it's kind of a 2-in-1 celebration. Score!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Eggs aren't just treats from everyone's favorite oversized, home-intruding bunny. They also represent growth, fertility, and potential, all important aspects of this vernal sabbat! So whether you like your cackle fruits wrecked, on a raft, or flopped, eggs are the perfect way to celebrate the commencement of spring.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Too much diner talk? A thousand apologies. I've been enjoying myself some <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451415086/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pennipagan04-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0451415086&linkId=e93fa82ce7ddd5ce49d24636a7e28591" target="_blank">Do or Diner.</a> I'm a sucker for a good cozy mystery! In fact, if you also love cozy reads please help a reader out and leave your favorite titles in a comment below!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you all have a flower-picking, chocolate-eating, pastel-colored kind of Ostara!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy spring, everyone! 🐰🐣</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's almost Imbolc! And you know what that means—it's time for the purge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now hold up. Put down the bat. I'm not talking about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Purge" target="_blank">The Purge</a>. No, no. It's still illegal to clobber your annoying neighbor. I'm talking about purging as in purification.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">...I'm so disappointed that movie was basically just a typical horror flick because that concept could have been so interesting if they truly explored it. Where <i>do</i> the lines of morality vs legality overlap? How far would the average person go if there were no legal consequences? It'd be a very interesting narrative. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But admittedly a little heavy for a blog, so let's get back to Imbolc. =D</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Imbolc is a time of purification and cleansing, a period where we release the heavy emotions churned up during our Yuletide reflections.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't panic if you didn't reflect over the Yule season. I'm not going to quiz you or anything. I'm not <i>that</i> teacher. You know the one. That wet blanket that assigns a massive project over the holiday break that's due the moment you return to class. I'm pretty sure every student experiences one of those in their lifetime.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you'd like to learn more about Imbolc, check out this post <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2017/01/5-ways-to-celebrate-imbolc.html" target="_blank">here</a> (where you can also discover 5 MORE ways to celebrate without spending a dime!). But if you're ready to hear five fun ways to celebrate without breaking out the AmEx, scroll on, my friend!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Toss Your Cares Away</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cleanse your troubles by releasing them to nature. Standing beside a stream or river, hold a small river rock in your hands and visualize your problem floating down the stream, away from your life. When the image is clear in your mind, toss the rock into the water and watch it carry away your burden.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This ritual is a variation of a water spell shared with me by my lovely friend Gea, so shout out to Gea! ♥</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Clean House (of your old crap)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of us have been meaning to clean out at least one closet that physically assaults you every time you open the door. Purify your home by clearing out old clothes and household goods and donating them to charity. Not only will this remove blockages that can stagnate your home's energy, but you'll also be helping the less fortunate. The Universe is kind of fond of that! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Some Plants Are Worth Melting For</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Snowed in? Take some snow inside and allow it to melt (by the fire is extra special!). Then take the melted snow (sometimes referred to as water) and use it to water indoor plants or cut flowers. This symbolizes The Wheel turning as winter slowly transitions into spring. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Plus snow just seems extra cleansing compared to regular tap water. Maybe I'm just biased? But then again I've never heard Lorelai Gilmore proclaim, "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuS5IrQPqFg" target="_blank">I smell tap water!</a>"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Take a Ritual Soak</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Using herbs such as rosemary, lavender, or chamomile, draw yourself a soothing hot bath to soak away the stresses of chilly winter! When you're ready (but before you get out), envision the weight of your problems being washed away by the water as you emerge, leaving them behind in the tub. As you towel off, visualize a bright white light radiating from your freshly cleansed skin. Savor the buoyant feeling of release! You are now cleansed of any negative energy (which remains in the tub). Let the water drain and picture your concerns rushing down the pipes with the bathwater. You are now physically and energetically oh-so-squeaky clean!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I would advise you use a muslin bag or tea ball to contain your herbs. Otherwise, use essential oils. Trust me, you don't want to end a relaxing bath with a soggy mess of herbs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">....Not that I know this from experience or anything. *Closely examines nails* I mean, I haven't had to pick lavender out of the bathtub bud by bud or anything. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Try Your Hand at Fire Divination</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Considered the Festival of Light, fire is often incorporated with Imbolc rituals. Use this time to try fire divination! While it sounds somewhat complicated, all you really need to do is meditate while looking into the flames, allow your mind to slow and thoughts to clear, and see what information presents itself to you. This may come as a personal revelation or a foretelling. Don't try to force the process; just relax into it. =D</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You may find larger fires, such as camp or bonfires, are easier to work with than candles. But if you're a fire sign, this may come to you very easily! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So remember, while we can't resort to The Purge to rectify our problems, we can purge many nuisances from our life without the hassle of bloodstained carpets.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Too dark? Sorry, my humor is still in winter mode. =/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Have you ever tried fire divination? What's your favorite way to honor Imbolc?</span></h3>

It's a shame, really! I hate a good opportunity for magick being wasted simply because someone doesn't know how easy it is to incorporate a spell into mundane tasks.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">...If you don't understand why missed magick opportunity upsets me so, please take a look around my site. I'll wait. Gotta finish this eggnog anyway.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Without further delay, here is my SUPER simple Pie Crust Spell that I highly encourage you to incorporate into your next baking session. Whether it's homemade or store bought, sweet or savory, it doesn't mean a thaaang! Just get to casting, you kitchen witch, you!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What You'll Need:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Pie Crust</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Writing utensil</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Oven</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>How to Conjure:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Using something pointed, such as a toothpick or a butter knife, gently carve a symbol, word, or picture that represents your desires into your pie crust. Just break the surface. Don't cut all the way through your crust or your goodies will flow out when baking. Get creative. Incorporate runes. Create your own <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2019/02/sigils-simple-way-to-cast-kick-ass-spell.html" target="_blank">sigil</a>. Draw like the third grader we know is hiding within. Just put some love into it. No need to harness your inner art critic. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Before adding your filling, take a moment to hold your palms over the crust (facing the crust) and envision your desires manifesting. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Add filling. Bake. Eat. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">See?! I told you it was easy! Just make sure you eat some of it. Unless the spell is for someone else, such as a healing spell. In that case make sure your intended eats it. But remember to play nice when casting for others. Don't go <i>The Help</i> on your pie. Mostly because it will come back to you, but also because it's totally illegal. And gross. And, like, <b>really</b> gross.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don't understand that reference? It's probably better. It will forever ruin chocolate pie. =/</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Happy magickal baking! ♥</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">What's your favorite kitchen witch hack?</span></h3><div><div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5f5f; font-family: muli, verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L2ACKP4/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pennipagan04-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01L2ACKP4&linkId=6b5c8dfb69b00e3105600518a7ada3bd" style="clear: left; color: #a6c434; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="332" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4PdVlfAn2g-rmkvfuBY0bNLTMMWlgWUDGcUFt7fUhnSdidvN5cSwr4L6ieanRTpIBefiXfHVkwFrBmME7kUqDof7l_nQ-GkvCe5Y3AJeCPSYGPoXAzphyphenhyphenxeyPCXqr7sDc14tyjLGZQg/s200/COVER_By+the+Light+of+the+Moon_SMALL.jpg" style="border: 0px solid rgb(212, 212, 212); padding: 3px;" width="132" /></a><span style="font-size: small;"><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></i></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Did you enjoy this free spell?

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been hot here in northern New England, which means I have one thing on my mind: f</span><span style="font-size: large;">all. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, fall and Arnold Palmers. Nothing says summer like an Arnold Palmer. Or as we call it here in New England, a half and half.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But let's get back to <i>serious </i>business.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As Lughnasadh approaches and the days start shortening just a teensy bit, fall is on my mind. It's quite possibly on your mind too. I have yet to meet a witch who doesn't worship Samhain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Worship. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Get it?! *Three Stooges Noises*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to do something a little new and fanciful as fall approaches, honoring our collective giddiness for such a splendid season. And really, couldn't we all use a bit of silliness right now? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below you'll find a few lighthearted printables to help you celebrate the impending fall Sabbats. Print 'em out to tack on your fridge, place in a frame, or use them to make paper airplanes. Whatever brings you joy, my friend. ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I recently moved to northern New England. If you're keeping track this is the 4,756 move I've made in 5 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">...It's really ruined the smell of cardboard for me. What once conjured visions of gooey pizza now brings on sweat-inducing flashbacks. Tape! Box cutters! An adult game of Tetris.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, maybe "flashbacks" is a <i>bit</i> dramatic, but humor me for theatrical effect. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When moving day arrived and shenanigans ensued, I had to lock my cat inside my second floor bedroom in order to keep him safe. Being a teenage boy, a venture upstairs is no longer part of his daily routine. Oh sure, he'll include said bedroom as he races around the house in a post-poo run. I mean, who doesn't celebrate a good bathroom trip with a full-on gallop? But at nineteen he's rarely upstairs for anything other than a victory lap, choosing instead to lay in the living room window, all but melting into a pile of warm, glorious fur in the afternoon sun. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So when this bipedal mom locked him inside a room he doesn't often frequent, he was less than thrilled. As he paced the empty carpet, periodically pawing at the door before giving me a pleading look that clearly conveyed I was purposely torturing him, I struggled to find a way to calm him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If only I could tell him this was for his safety. If only I could easily communicate I needed him to trust me, that I would never do anything that wasn't in his best interest. I was incapable of harming him. My sole objective for this furry friend— genuine friend—is to give him the best life within my power.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He eventually calmed down and took a nap once Mommy provided him with the top of a W.B. Mason box. Which, by the way, is the greatest thing to sit in EVER!!! =D But nonetheless the entire experience got me thinking. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What if I'm the cat?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What if all the anxiety and nail biting and sour belly that accompanies any move is my upstairs bedroom? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What if <i>every</i> life challenge is our upstairs bedroom?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What if there's an entity out there in the stratosphere desperate to communicate but unable to successfully speak on our level, asking us to trust them?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"I'm only doing this for your safety. I would never do anything to harm you. I love you very deeply, and now I need you to trust me." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What if instead of questioning and fighting during life's struggles, we chose to trust? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Trust there is a greater plan. Trust there are benevolent energies working in our favor. Trust there is <i>always</i> hope.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2020 has been a <strike>shitty</strike> <strike>stressful</strike> <strike>miserable</strike> difficult year for everyone, </span><span style="font-size: large;">but I'd like to believe there's an unseen energy reminding us, in their own language, that we are loved and cared for. That at times though it may feel as if we are a cat locked in a room, fighting to find familiarity and peace, there is a force working in our best interest, acting from pure, unadulterated love. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What if instead of succumbing to fear we decide to have faith? After all, isn't life just one big trust fall? ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I <b>choose</b> to trust.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And I hope you do too!♥</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year is a Leap Year, which means more time to get shit
done! In fact, I’m sooooo busy getting stuff done—practicing daily yoga,
writing countless books, cooking savory yet nutritious meals all with glowing
hair and flawless skin—that I’m going to get right to my point.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, two points. #1: that was total sarcasm. I’m writing
this in sweatpants and a hoodie. If I’m home, just know I’m in sweats, mmmkay?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Point #2: I’ve never understood the whole Leap Year thing.
There, I said it! Even as a child I couldn’t understand the excitement.
Fortunately, as an adult, I know *slightly* more. Mostly how to drive a car and
make a mean cup of coffee. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">…I’m just kidding. I’m from New England. I’ve been making
killer coffee since I was thirteen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I promised to get to my point swiftly, so no more dilly
dallying! As an adult with endless responsibilities and deadlines and traffic
and grocery shopping and side hustle, side hustle, dear God with the
motherf-ing side hustles— why should one more day of busyness get you amped?
Isn’t it really just one more day delaying us from what we’re all <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">actually</i> looking forward to?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’m talking Samhain, folks! ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">With Leap Day a few weeks off, I invite you to do something
a little crazy, to buck the glorified busyness of our society, to live
reckless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">I implore you to take
this extra day as just that—a free day to do whatever <u>YOU</u> want.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, I get it. You’re probably not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">so</i> reckless as to call out of work. Maybe you are. That’s my kind
of crazy! ;) But even if you’re <s>sane </s>responsible, you have an entire evening
to indulge in a little extra peace. Give yourself the gift of extra self-care.
Maybe cue up some yoga on YouTube. Order out for dinner. Perhaps you can hire a
babysitter and take that much needed date night. Set aside two blissful hours
for reading in silence. Brew a decadent cup of tea and read tarot. Meditate.
Wrap up in a cozy scarf and take a nature walk with your favorite person. Have
a make-your-own pizza night with the kiddos. Go to bed at 7:30.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don’t laugh. It’s kind of awesome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Whatever it is that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you</i>
need right now, do what you can to gift yourself a few extra moments. Because
that to-do list will <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never</i> stop
piling on. And since we’re only talking about one measly day every four
flipping years, I think you can go the extra mile for this one. Come on, girl!
Get in those sweatpants. You know you want to! ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever felt the need to do something crazy, something that sounds totally bat guano nuts but you know you need to do it?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I’m about to do that. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I’ll be taking the rest of the year off, which probably sounds crackers </span><span style="font-size: large;">(the cheddar bunny kind)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">considering it’s only September. I ask you to trust me. =D I will return, not just to the blog but to a whole mess of ideas I’ve been squirreling away for years. But I need the energy to share said ideas with you. And right now this witch is all out of zing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">...A metric butt ton of life changes and moving clear across the country can do that to a gal. =/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The blog is well stocked, so take a look around while I’m on my radical sabbatical. If you’re hankering for even more simple magick, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Penniless-Pagan/e/B01LBLP3TE?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1564168572&sr=8-1" target="_blank">treat yourself to one of my spell books</a>! Each and every sale makes me do a happy dance as well as supports the blog, so THANK YOU! =D </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you can understand the need to replenish the creative coffers; wells simply aren’t bottomless! =/ I’m genuinely grateful for your readership and <b>so</b> very excited to share these new ideas with you in a few months. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you’ve been feeling a little fatigued yourself, I encourage you to make self-care a priority. This looks different for everyone, but if you pay attention to the gentle whispers of your soul, the answers are there. Sometimes the answers are extreme and make us feel nervous and uncomfortable, like taking time off from a blog you genuinely love! But I encourage you to trust that inner voice, because it will not lead you astray.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Be well, my friends! Thank you for your understanding. And I’m SO excited to share a new chapter of goodies with you in the coming year! ♥♥♥</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you know in Chinese Medicine late summer is considered the fifth season? That’s right, my friends. Somehow we’re already on the descent of summer. Landing gear is out and drink trays are up, but it’s not quite time to stow your beach balls in the overhead compartments just yet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The magick of late summer is a special blend of wondrousness, which makes it the perfect time to reclaim your magick if you’ve been feeling a little out of touch with Mother Earth, The Universe, or your own inner power. Don’t know where to start? Well, that’s why I’m here! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Click the photo below to download your very own printable and start reconnecting with nature! Using thirty fun and simple yet meaningful suggestions, you'll be on your way to once again seeing magick all around you! Use this sheet as a reminder to slow down and savor these waning days of late summer and early fall. Enjoy these little gems in no particular order, coloring in each box with whatever color feels appropriate that day. When you’re done, tuck it away in your Book of Shadows as a colorful memento. Though not required, you may enjoy journaling your experiences along the way. Or simply make notes in the margins. Keep it breezy, girl! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Or boy. I don’t mean to ignore my male readers. All seven of you... =D </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There's an undeniable power that's carried in on the dark thunderheads of a summer afternoon rain storm. The magick is tangible as foreboding gray seeps across the sky, sultry humidity brings weight to the air, and nature goes quiet in preparation for the downpour that's about to begin. What starts as a gentle hum in the distance, a low grumble of strength, quickly grows into a wild display of energy, making trees dance at its feet and the sky split open with fiery intensity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I mean, not that I pay that close of attention. I could take them or leave them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wait, thunderstorms are like boys, right? You gotta play it cool to reign them in? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course, this spell doesn't have to be sequestered to summer. It can be used anytime you notice the sky sodden with potential, readied to exhale raw magick and manifestation upon the earth below. Just do me a favor and exercise common sense. A fried witch is useful to no one, so don't run outside in the middle of violent lightning. Also, don't play in traffic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">=D</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What You'll Need:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Rain</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The earth</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A finger (preferably yours) or a stick</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How to Conjure:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you notice a storm brewing and it's safe to be outside, find yourself a nice patch of dirt that will be exposed to the rain. Get creative if needed! A flower pot. A flower bed. Don't overthink it. We're working a spell, not redefining nuclear dynamics. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Draw a rune, a <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2019/02/sigils-simple-way-to-cast-kick-ass-spell.html" target="_blank">sigil</a>, or simply write a one-word intention in the soil using your finger or a stick. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once your spell is written in the earth, hold your hands over the word/sigil (palms facing the soil) and envision the word/sigil in neon. Now envision the rain that is soon to come pouring upon your spell. Imagine the intention being driven deep into the soil where it will be nourished by the earth, sprouted like a plant, and manifested into reality. Envision your desires brought into reality—use all 5 senses! What will it look like? Smell like? When that bad boy is palpable in your mind, </span><span style="font-size: large;">say aloud with conviction:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So Mote it Be!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And you're all set! </span><span style="font-size: large;">Now get your ass inside, you silly hippie, and know that the rain is feeding your intentions.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, brew yourself some tea, because tea is always best with rain. And a book. And a cat. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Casting!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Recently, as I watched a friend whip off his sunglasses to access his cell phone via retinal scan as we cruised down the highway at a cool 65 miles an hour, I experienced a moment of melancholy for a simpler time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Do you ever find yourself feeling this way? Yearning for a lifetime long ago lived, one you probably didn’t experience in this human body but in another? As if your soul is aching for what is now an echo of a previous existence, a ripple in the DNA of your higher spirit? When did a vibrating cell phone replace the sensation of earth pulsating beneath our bare feet? The singsong melody of a robin drowned out by a constant, distant grumble of engines? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Have you ever experienced those breathtaking moments when, for just a solitary beat of the heart, humanity goes blissfully silent? No planes, or voices, or auto-tuned cellphone jingles, just the brush of tree branch against sky and a poetic bird chortle as your soul falls into transcendent harmony with the earth? For one singular moment you are submersed in the music of life and you find yourself thinking, “This! This is how it was supposed to be. This is the rhythm my soul yearns for.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">In a world steeped in high tech and high speed, it can be difficult to mine the natural magick from the weighty haze of technology and the ever-growing list of gadgets designed to simplify our life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Because seriously, who feels like they have oodles of spare time courtesy of washing machines that can receive text messages and thermostats we can yell at from another room? As for me and my house, we shall walk to our thermal controls, </span>by god<span style="font-family: inherit;">! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">During a time of imbalance in my own life, heretofore deemed The Desert Years, I found this grounding mantra to be a spiritual life preserver. On days when you’re tired of watching people FaceTime their dishwasher, take a few cleansing breaths, lay your hands over your heart, and say aloud this simple but profound mantra to instill peace in your spirit and magick in your soul. After all, the world is brimming with splendor if we’re willing to slow our minds and open our hearts to the experience! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You know how they say every woman needs a little black dress in her arsenal? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hm, now I'm beginning to question the veracity of this analogy. I definitely don't own a black dress, little or otherwise. I'm more of a pastel kind of gal. And I'm fairly certain my best friend doesn't have a black dress either. Come to think of it, I've rarely seen her in a dress, which is a bit puzzling. She's one of those annoyingly beautiful women who just exude femininity. Like, leaves-a-glittering-trail-of-womanliness-as-she-saunters-into-a-room kind of dainty. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So not the case with me. I enter a room like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seinfeld" target="_blank">Kramer</a>, knocking over houseplants and what not. I mean, I'm no Bella Swan. That chick needed to get her equilibrium checked. But I have been known to fall off sandals while bumbling through the troublesome task of walking. Not even the wedge kind of sandals. Just your plain 'ol sandal. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">....Oh, the late 90s were a rough one for yours truly. How I managed to avoid a broken ankle in those brick-ish, Spice Girl monstrosities is a question that remains as unanswerable as the quantity of licks required to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop. I had this sweet little pair made out of white canvas that were roughly 892 inches tall. Because, I mean, *chuffs* who doesn't want white canvas platform sandals?! Just give me a moment to savor the butterfly clips and tattoo chokers before we move on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">...le sigh</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anywho, much like the ubiquitous little black dress that every woman *should* have in her closet, every witch absolutely, unquestionably needs sigils in her cauldron. Why? Because they are insanely easy (when you make your own), ridiculously powerful (especially when you make your own), and extraordinarily versatile. I get almost as excited talking about sigils as I do thinking about <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=jelly+sandals&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS774US774&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiEkqHHkNHaAhWPFXwKHae5CwYQsAQIkQI&biw=1366&bih=662" target="_blank">jellies</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Almost.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sigils (pronounced si-jels) are symbols infused with magickal purpose. They are also one of the first spells I learned to cast, but I still use them frequently to this day. And I'm about to show you why!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The simple art of a personalized sigils is this: You take the word you wish to invoke, like "protection" to be used on a front door or "health" to be traced into soup, and you connect the letters to form one interlaced symbol. It's much easier to visually explain, so I created this demonstration for you!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf9VkCLtEHsbyBiX34eWSm9iNT7RYaejiPfNNKL-MENrUGhzPZMddsJJr_nzngOPFrXb9-n5CvZ46bSR_Z4kNoMOHHyAkYzs0SO9NQGIxtMaAMjXhsVFuy6AgUf30ptVSz6jhbQXHlBA/s1600/Sigil+Demo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf9VkCLtEHsbyBiX34eWSm9iNT7RYaejiPfNNKL-MENrUGhzPZMddsJJr_nzngOPFrXb9-n5CvZ46bSR_Z4kNoMOHHyAkYzs0SO9NQGIxtMaAMjXhsVFuy6AgUf30ptVSz6jhbQXHlBA/s400/Sigil+Demo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">See? Crazy easy, right?! Simple but powerful, just the way I like my magick! And, of course, you don't need to follow my example. If that crooked "A" is driving you bonkers, incorporate it however you please. That's the beauty of personalized sigils, it's entirely in your hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you've created your sigil you can apply it to your desired medium (such as a candle), take a few moments to visualize your sigil hard at work on your behalf, and you're done!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The best part about personalized sigils is they can be used <i>and</i> created anywhere. Unlike runes or the Celtic Ogham (both of which I love), there's no memorization necessary. Say you just bought a car and you're about to drive it off the lot. You can immediately create a sigil for "safety" or "protection" and trace it on the glass using only your finger, offering you magickal shield until you can whip up a <a href="http://www.pennilesspagan.com/2016/07/vehicle-protection-sachet-spell.html" target="_blank">vehicle protection sachet</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">And since I adore these wonderful little magick creations, I drafted a</span><b> <span style="font-size: large;">list of ten easy ways to use sigils in your everyday life</span></b><span style="font-size: large;">! Hope you enjoy!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Paint a sigil under a flower pot to bring desired energies to everyone who passes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Draw a sigil in the soil under full moon light (or lack thereof on a new moon) to set your intentions for the cycle!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Use essential oils (such as rosemary or cedar) to inscribe sigils on windows and doors for protection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Use chalk to write a sigil under a door mat. Change your sigil with the seasons to invoke new energies depending on your current needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Draw sabbat-appropriate sigils into cookies or pie crusts to celebrate the holidays. For example, you can create a "renewal" sigil for Yule. Or create a sigil with a departed loved one's name for Samhain! Are you a private witch? Carve your sigil into the bottom crust before adding filling. No one will be any wiser! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Using your finger dipped in moon water, trace a sigil under children's beds for protection or health. Battling the Boogie Man? Conquer nightmares by creating a sigil for happy dreams and involve your child in casting the spell.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Mark the back of a pet's tag (rabies tags are usually blank on the back) with protective symbols. Because essential oils can be toxic to pets, use a marker or moon water to work your magick!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Set your intentions for the day by tracing a sigil on your wrist with essential oil. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Keep a slip of paper in your wallet with a sigil for abundance or prosperity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">— Draw a sigil in the soil of your garden to encourage growth and fertility.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I could go on for hours, but that would be very Bubba Gump Shrimp of me, so I'll leave it at ten. Here's to hoping you find this enchanting little magickal symbol just as useful as I do!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As for platform sandals, those were never practical. I hang my head in 90s shame...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I worked in the veterinary field, I washed my hands constantly. Like, cooooonstantly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You wash your hands when a patient (the woof-woof kind) enters a room so the owner knows you're not a dirty mo-fo.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You wash your hands before leaving a room, because you just got drooled on (not that I'm complaining!).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You wash your hands before using the restroom (because animal germs and hoo-has are not a good combination).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You wash your hands before leaving the restroom (because if you don't then you <i>are </i>a dirty mo-fo). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You wash your hands after an owner brings in a stool sample. And after touching ANYTHING near the dreaded fecal counter (a designated counter that exists in every clinic used solely for running fecal samples and, according to this blogger, is among the most germ-infested areas in the country and should really be considered a level 4 hot zone).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">....Seriously, if I even looked at the fecal counter I washed my hands. Have you <i>seen</i> other human beings? I don't trust that everyone wiped down the station when they were done running a fecal test. In fact, I witnessed lackadaisical disinfectant practices on many occasions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You know what? Just to be safe I may burn this laptop and start this post on another computer. I'm fairly certain this is now contaminated from just talking about stool.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, where was I? Poop. Magick. Humans are dirty....oh, r</span><span style="font-size: large;">ight! Handwashing!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><strike>Clean</strike> People wash their hands quite a bit. Maybe not as often as someone in a healthcare field, but at least several times a day. Why not take that moment of sudsing and rinsing to cast a quick little spell? Think about the power manifesting in your spell if you gave it a mere fifteen seconds of focus several times a day! That's a lot of conjuring juju!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Despite sounding like someone who goes through three gallons of hand soap daily, I assure you I do not have a hand-washing problem. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Other problems? Certainly. But not hand washing. This I can assure you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But this spell did come to me while washing my hands one day. I enjoy watching the cleansing water cascade over my hands, especially if said hands are cold and I'm savoring a quick warm-up under the hot tap. As the suds flowed out of my palms, the visualization of money popped into my head and this spell was born! Hope you enjoy it <i>almost</i> as much as I enjoy never having to run a stool sample test ever again. =D</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yay for no poo! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What You'll Need:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A sink</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Soap</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Your hands</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">15 seconds</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How to Conjure:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wash your hands like a decent human being who should do their level best not to spread Ebola.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As you suds up, imagine the bubbles are dollar bills multiplying in your hands, becoming so numerous they overflow, collecting in a large pile in the sink.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As you rinse your hands, imagine the water filling your palms is actually coins, filling up your cupped hands with shiny, sparkly coins so numerous you can't contain them all. </span><span style="font-size: large;">(Of course, abundance isn't just money. If you're in need of something else—friendship, health, inspiration— alter this visualization to suit your needs. Get creative!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the desired outcome is clearly shaped in your mind, simply say:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>So Mote It Be!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it! Now you can dry your hands, change out of your bathroom socks and into your living room socks so you don't track around bathroom germs, and you're done!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just kidding. Everyone knows bathroom socks need to be bleached and incinerated before exiting the bathroom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">........</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bet you really are beginning to wonder if I'm insane. Guess you'll never know. Muahahaha!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now if you'll please excuse me, there are some nice people here who say they just want to help. I wonder what kind of detergent they use to keep their white jackets so clean...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
