TBT: A Family Affair - Our Mabon Celebration!


 
My sister Aurora Skye and I had decided to get together a little early for our ritual celebration. I re-vamped my solitary Mabon ritual so that it would work for two people and we kept it fairly simple and intimate.
 
The ceremony included the usual elements ~ casting the circle, calling of the corners, invocations of the Lord and Lady, meditation, blessing of the wine and bread, etc. After which we thanked all of the deities, closed our ritual, opened the circle, and remembered to give back to the Earth.
I made a couple of head wreaths for us to wear during ritual.
 
Aurora brought along four mini pumpkins which she grows herself in her backyard. We placed two on our altar and set the other two around a couple of the corner candles.
 
In the old days after my fellow solitary friends and I would gather for sabbat rituals, we would eat, drink, talk and be merry for the remainder of the evening. These days; however, Aurora and I much preferred to spend some sister time together by hanging out and perhaps doing a little shopping. As much as I really love having a house full of friends and family, sometimes it is nice to just simply relax and enjoy the day!

This 'n' That

Well, friends last week was quite an "interesting" week to say the least -  Fall flowers from hubby, a concert in Philadelphia, and a flooded basement! ...

Last Saturday night, we had tickets to go see a rock group called, "Cage the Elephant" at The Met in Philadelphia, PA. That morning I had a much needed hair cut and style. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MANDY of "The Girls Hair Studio"!! ... ✀

The stage at The Met ...

"Cold Cold Cold" and "Ready to Let Go" Cage the Elephant Live at The Met in Philadelphia - 10-25-25 ...

Hubby and I enjoying the show ...

And now for the bad news, Last Sunday, we began cleaning up our disaster of a garage. Afterwards, I walked into the house and heard gushing water coming from our downstairs basement. I immediately ran downstairs and, to my horror, I saw water literally POURING out of the water filter in my Altar Room! I ran back upstairs and screamed for my husband to "COME QUICK! HURRY!!" The o-ring inside of the filter had broken in half and apparently the filter bottom was thrown to the floor from the water pressure.

The floors were flooded, rugs were drenched, and while my husband ran out to Home Depot to get another water filter I continued to try and clean up - filling bags and bags full of ruined area rugs, soaked boxes that were on the floor - the water even managed to fill my plastic drawers. The following pics were taken AFTER we cleaned up ...


The laundry room was also flooded. These pics were taken two days after we cleaned up as best we could ...

On a clear Autumn Day

Yesterday was a beautiful Autumn day so my husband and I drove out to the farmer's market and had a nice breakfast. I couldn't resist the pumpkin spice pancakes ...

After we got home, I decided to take a little walk up the road to Epler's United Church of Christ to walk the labyrinth located on their cemetery grounds...



Along my walk I saw these cool Halloween decorations so I took a quick pic - two black cats ...

And, I tired to get a couple of shots of an eagle flying in the sky above the cemetery ...



Have a great rest of the weekend all!!!

Mabon Wedding Anniversary!


Happy Sunday everyone and Blessed Mabon! Today is not only the Autumn Equinox, but it is also my wedding anniversary. We are just enjoying the weekend weather and I cooked a special anniversary dinner for us today ...

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with my sister at the annual Fall Fest in West Reading. It was crowed and a bit too hot and humid out so I just picked up a couple of cool items while we were there. 
"The Moon" tarot card necklace - my Pisces sign Major Arcana card.
