Full Moon Reflection
12-31-09
Color of the day: Green
Incense of the day: Clove

This last night of the year closes with a Full Moon. It is a wonderful time for reflection before embracing the revelry of the night. Light a white candle and take time to say thank you for all that you have experienced in the year past. Release the energy of the passing year into the night as you set forth on your enjoyment of the evening. As you go out, seek the Lady in all Her glory in the night sky. Salute Her and pay homage to Her as She lights your way into the night.

Movie Night at Gypsy''s!

Texarkana Pagans Night Out members!

Movie night this Friday, January 1 starting at 6pm.

You must RSVP if you wish to attend, so I can have a head count, and also to give you the address.

I will be making my "world-famous" Cajun gumbo! Let me know if you can bring French bread, saltines, or cooked rice. Also, BYOB. Email me at gypsytrill@yahoo.com.

TTFN, Gypsy Trill

Okay, so it is the day after Christmas, a day that most Pagans and Wiccans don''t even celebrate, and I am getting bombarded on email and Facebook with gripes from people disappointed in how their day went.

From Lillah''s Northeast Pagans Yahoo Group, a really beautiful spell:

Betwixt and Between
12-23-09
Color of the day: Topaz
Incense of the day: Lilac

Today is Nameless Day, the day on the Celtic Lunar calendar that is not assigned to a month. It is the perfect time to travel to what the Celts call, "betwixt and between."
