Harvest Moon

I hope everyone had a wonderful Harvest Moon celebration. I know I did. :-)

It was very simple and very moving. It was just the moon and me! No candles...no fire...no incense...no tools...nothing but me and the Moon.

It was a very refreshing experience. How many of you can let go of all the complexity of a ritual and just do one with nothing else but yourself?

Celebrate Life, Not Death

A child's first experience with death is usually with a family pet. No matter how large or small the creature the pain that a child will feel is immeasurable. It is a very hard transition for a child to go through, but it is a natural cycle of life.



Just recently my daughter's pet rat, Mamma, got ill. My daughter(age 13) was very heartbroken at the idea of Mamma passing away. Mamma will not be the first pet that my daughter will have experienced death with, but none the less there is still considerable heartache for my daughter.

So we talked.

Keeping a Journal

I'm going to sound like a lot of authors that I have read as I continue to study my Path...keep a journal on everything mundane and magical in your life.

 The reason that I am bringing this up is because it is a lesson that I need to learn myself. I am getting better about it, but it is a work in progress.

You know how it goes... Did I use the gold candle for the good prosperity spell or the green? Did I call on Bacchus or Pan before the last kegger that went so well? Was it the sandalwood incense or the rose oil that helped me really relax during that awesome meditation three weeks ago?

Even our mundane world needs the attention... Who had the last play date at their house? Is it my turn to bring the snacks for the class party? Hey, honey, when did we buy the dish washer, I need to check if the warranty is still good?

Welcome Back

I would like to welcome you and myself back to my blog. It went by another name before, but I find the new name very fitting than the previous one.

Faye is part of my birth name and it is also my "other" name. You are more than welcome to call me Faye. I do not use the terms Lady, Priestess, or High Priestess as I do not feel that I have earned either of them nor have been given them.

I added on Dark Moon on one of my visits with my Dark Side. She is amazingly powerful and she scares the heck out of me. We are learning to coexist in the same body and are gradually working on becoming one, instead separate sides of the same person. I love her and I respect her.

I decided to use Cauldron as part of the title for this blog to explain in one word what it will be about. It will be a "melting pot" of a blog. It will contain random thoughts, poetry, photography, essays and real life experiences.

I really like my original introduction! even after all these years it still rings very true. I will be leaving up my old posts as a way for me to measure how much I have grown mentally.

Well I will keep this reintroduction short and once again I want to welcome us both back!

Blessings and Love to all!
