Full Blood Moon Charms


Tarotpaths Store on Etsy
During the full blood moon in Aries on Friday, I created new charms to sell in my Etsy store. Each of these little dudes comes with a coffin.



I made four black bird charms as well as the skulls. I have a few listed in my store already and will keep adding each one until they are all there.

 
In August,  I made New Blue Moon in Aquarius charms and they sold out before I even had a chance to post them in my Etsy store. 
 
 
 
Each charm is unique and powered with good intent.

 
 
Some charms are geared for money luck, others for romance. All the charms are charged with light, love, luck, harmony, good health, and more. 
 
 

Charms that have more green in them and have yellow stones (citrine) are great for   money luck and health energy. Keep them in your wealth corner or on your desk.




Charms that contain more red and pink are good for attracting romantic vibrations as well as healing broken hearts.


There are no two charms that are alike.


Each charm contains a special blend of incense for activating the full moon energy.




One day I saw a collection of Black-Eyed-Susan stems lying on the ground, the petals have fallen off weeks ago. It looked like perhaps someone had been making a bouquet, a child likely, and then dropped it (or told to stop since it's illegal in a park.) I picked up a couple of the buds and put them into my pocket. I looked up the meaning and saw "justice." I thought this would be a good addition to the full moon incense I purchased in Salem several years ago.


During the lunar eclipse, I ground the susans into the incense and put a bit into each vial for good luck.

If you put the vial on your bedroom window sill during a full moon, you can recharge it with any intent you desire. You don't have to use a money charm for money or a love charm for love. If a color or stone appeals to you, go with your gut. The vibrations of crystals operate on levels that we don't fully understand and there may be something in that vial that appeals to you.


 
If you want to purchase one of these Full Blood Moon in Aries charms for Halloween, birthday, Christmas, or any other occasion, I will warn that these too may fly fast.
 
Who may want to own one of these items? Don't forget, it comes with a hand painted coffin.

More on Miley




I think the general dismay or downright hostility to Miley Cyrus stems from selective memory. I still stand by my opinion that previous female stars have been just as scandalous if not worse.

What about Marilyn Monroe on Playboy magazine?

At any rate, after watching all the brouhaha over the past few weeks, I've decided that I think I've figured out why everyone is so mad at Miley for the VHS awards performance boils down to this:

Robin Thicke sang Blurred Lines which has a video with naked women dancing around him. Those who didn't know this before the awards show should maybe have googled this after the show to see what this "medley" was emulating. Thicke's wife has no problem with her husband in a naked girl video so why would she care if a fully clothed teen idol gyrates against him in mock imitation?

The reason why people are upset with Miss Miley stems deeper. Miley is emulating the video however, this makes her more like a backup dancer to Robin's stardom than perhaps doing something a bit different to indicate she is on equal footing.

As I've said before, I personally have zero issues with Miley's performance. You have an issue, discuss it with the choreographer, the producer, the director, the other dancers and then make a decision. she didn't just "break out twerking." This multimillion dollar production is carefully choreographed down to the last light bulb overhead.

People want Miley to be more than a "backup dancer." She's a kid. Think back to what YOU were doing at twenty. Did YOU have your shit together? I know I didn't! I still don't. So who are we all to be pointing at her about how to run her career. She's just doing what her sisters did before her and good for her.

I'll be interested to see how she's doing in ten year when she's matured. I'm sure there's many tabloid years ahead before she settles into a steady career move.

I was impressed with her performance on Saturday Night Live. She did a good job and was a good sport.

Miley will find her footing as a media queen. Cut her some slack, she'll figure it all out. She's just having fun and who can blame her. Honestly, if you were in her position wouldn't you want to have some fun and thumb your nose at everyone too? After all, she has to compete with peers such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adele and likely, Lordes.


Stop and Breathe



 


It's been a heck of a year in the horror genre. I've had many friends and peers diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses. Others have died.

I want to call a stop to all the death and sadness. Yes, it's 2013  thirteen - yes. Have there been thirteen? I think there have been more just on my facebook alone.


This year, three people who had personal impact on my life in many significant ways died.

One from heart disease, one from cancer, one from alcoholism.

The heart disease friend dropped dead suddenly. One minute posting on facebook, the next minute, dead.

The cancer friend was feeling ill around this time last year, diagnosed with cancer around Christmas, had a long and painful treatment, managed to reign over his convention, Necon, in July though frail and then quietly died with loved ones a few weeks ago.

The alcoholic friend was a tragic waste. Years of self-destructive behaviour took its inevitable toll on his career, his marriage, his friends, and ultimately, his health. He was disconnected from life support last week because he had destroyed his organs beyond repair.

Life is short. Life is fleeting. Life can be hard or it may be easy. There is always change. There are always new beginnings you can create if you have your health. You never know when your last day is coming so, as the cliché goes, treat each day as your last.
