Hey I'm an Aunt again

Merry meet everybody

So everyone congratulate me I'm an aunt again. My older brother just had his second child a beautiful bouncing baby girl. He named her Jackie to 7 pounds on the nose and 12 and half inches. He's completely healthy and has my set of lung. I asked my sister in law what she wanted me to get the baby and she said clothes is nothing really original about buying baby clothes for baby showers or when someone has just given birth. But that's what she wants, so I asked her what kind of clothes and she says, and get this "girl clothes". So I asked her if there was a peculiar color that she liked. And she says that all of the clothes should be pink because pink is traditional for girls. If I ever have a daughter she's probably going to be wearing baby blue, and purple. Purples a girl colorr without being overly girly. Pale blue looks great on girls as long as it's in the girly style so that they are not mistaken for boys. Then I asked her if she had a certain style or maybe she wanted me to buy onesies, pants outfits, skirts outfits or even dresses. She says that she really doesn't care. So I went out and picked up six or seven outfits of which most were pink. Only two were purple, I bought those mittens for their hands and booties for their feet to match. One is this hot pink color that goes with two of the outfits, a pale pink which will go with two and one that's purple to match the outfits that she will probably never wear. All in all it's a good shopping day.


May blessings rain upon you

I recently enrolled in The Magical Circle School

Hello again and Merry meet

I have recently enrolled in a online Pagan school called The Magical Circle School. It's a free online school centered around many different pagan religions, unlike many other online schools it does not center around one single belief system but in fact incorporates many of the different types of paganism out there. I've always been into mythology and cultural beliefs which is probably why I'm an eclectic pagan. You can only take three courses at one time. The school is very easy to enroll in any has many different courses from God and goddess studies to divination, Path working such as Celtic, Cottage, Dianic, Faery, Hedge, Shamanism and Kitchen. They also have Witchy arts and crafts, dreamscaping, Healing, herbology, a degree program and even a witchling course for ages 2 to 16. Many of the courses are very self reliant. You can go as fast or as slow as you need

I decided to go with the gods course first I am currently taking Roman and Greek gods 101, Celtic gods and Native American gods. The school is very laid back with very little time constraints on the lessons allowing you to take it at your own pace, the only time constraints is that you have to at least complete one lesson each month. In my Roman and Greek gods first lesson was Jupiter the Roman king of the gods the lesson consist of four parts first we researched Jupiter, the teacher supplies a small bit of information about the God but it's your job to find out as much as you possible can using books, Internet or any other way you can find information. After that she asks you to write a paragraph about the God himself as well as a paragraph of how you can bring him into your life and last but not least in the first part to compose a prayer, meditation or chant to or about the God. The third part is to create a project about this God whether it be in offering or a statue something that represents him I did a Traditional offering that they did back in ancient times of roasted beef skews over lentils with a goblet of red wine. And then the fourth part is simply sending them a picture of your representation or project. The number of lessons very from course to course. I feel very excited about these courses and can't wait to finish the  ones I'm in now that I can start my next three. I'm thinking that's maybe I'll do astrology or tarot or maybe learn more about gemstones metals and crystals. I never know what I'm really going to be interested in at that time. I'll just have to wait and see.

May blessings be upon you

Welcome To my Pagan Review

Welcome to my blog. I don't want to bore you too much, but I do want to tell you about why I started this blog and in what you can expect from it. I live in a small town in Washington state, on an island off the coast of Seattle. The island is beautiful and tranquil but there are some things that are missing. I am a Pagan and have been for 16 years, and there is a small community of Pagans on the island, but no stores. I have to travel nearly 2 hours into Seattle, Wa to get supplies. In recent years I have started to use the Internet for the majority of my needs. With so many stores out there on the world wide web it's hard to know which ones are the best. Best quality and lowest prices, and I'm going to help you with that. I love to reading and learning, I'm an eclectic pagan which means I love to study many of the different theories, mythology, folklore and cultures that make up paganism as a whole. I will also review books, items, webpages and Pagan Web schools I'm enroll in two schools right now Witch School of which I have been enrolled for 3 years and The Magical Circle School of which I have been enrolled 3 weeks one is paid and the other free I will also be blogging about my own pagan life, spells I have tried, rites I have done. I have two beautiful godchildren who are really more like a niece and nephew to me. And a wonderful best friend who I am proud to call sister. I also want to share great pagan activities for children and families. So I hope you will join me in seeing what's out there and what going on, on my own little island..
