A tidy house means a tidy mind

And the same is true for witchcraft. A good clean environment helps keep the atmosphere positive and helping the spell even more.

I had not thought about it until my friend told me.

She told me as she was rushing around cleaning her house in preparation for making rose water. She said it does not really matter if it is not spotless, but as long as it is clean then it will be good enough. She also said that the act of cleaning helps her get mentally prepared for what she intends to do.

From now on I will make sure that I will do my housework before I do anything.

The Star festival

I am late posting this (I should have posted about this on the 7th)

I have been learning Japanese and as I have been learning the language I have been learning more about Japanese culture and history.

I got this from an E-Mail from a company that I had bought some CD's from.

On the 7th of July it is referred to as the day of Tanabata.

This is a tale of the milky way seperates two loving deities, Ori-Hime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altir) and they are allowed to meet once a year on the 7th.

This day is celebrated by writing wishes on Tanzaku (small pieces of paper) and hanging them on bamboo.

My partner and I did this. but as we do not have any bamboo we slotted them in to a wooden fence. I have takent hem down now and I plan on burning them in my cauldron as soon as I get the opportunity.
