Ring of Fire, Solar Eclipse

What an awesome Solar Eclipse we had! I got to see it and was amazing. Not as colorful as some pictures I saw since we had some rain clouds in the area. Thankfully they didn't hinder the viewing. I was able to get some really cool photos of it.

And the energy!!! WOW! Sitting in the sun's rays during the eclipse, the energy coming through was wild! Made the hairs on my arms stand up on end!!!

Full Moon Blessings

While I didn't do any sort of ritual, I did set my crystals and gems out for a little bit along with a Faerie pendant I have. I laid on the bed gazing at the Moon while my little box of gems and my pendant sat on the window sill, I made my wishes to the Goddess and thanked for all that I needed to thank Her for.

But something strange happened during this short period of time. My cat came up to see what I was up, as she usually does. She made her way to the window sill and quite suddenly she growled and hissed, then swatted at my Faerie pendant. Just as quickly she jumped off and ran away.

I didn't know what to make of it. She came back a few minutes later, and as she approached the dish the pendant was in she froze in her tracks then skittered away. This whole thing just baffled me.

I haven't worn the pendant in quite some time (at least 5 yrs maybe?) as it always seemed VERY heavy when I did wear it. It be okay at the start but then after a while it felt like a weight around my neck, to the point my neck would ache. I had never cleansed it before. It never occurred to me that I might need to or should for that matter, let alone know or understand exactly what cleansing was. I was just starting to seek the Path when I received as a gift as part of a Yule exchange on a "witchy" Yahoo group I was on.

Now maybe it's nothing, maybe it's just my wild imagination. It's just for the life of my I can't understand why she would react like that.

I know I probably should have left everything out under Mama Moon a bit longer than I did, but with several cats in the house I didn't want to risk any of my gems or crystals getting lost.

I will say though that later on that night, I did feel like there was an electrical charge in the air. Something I'd never experienced before.

I hope you all had a wonder weekend and hope you all got to see Mama Moon supersized. She was GLORIOUS!
