I'm thrilled to find this thread! Thank you, kittygrrl, for starting and maintaining it.

I didn't really celebrate Beltane this year due to quarantine, but I did attend a small virtual moon circle. Looking forward to Litha!!! Anyone have plans/ideas already?

Has anyone tried flying ointment before?

[kittygrrl]

be kind

Flying ointment update - I've been having more vivid dreams, but they're still all bad dreams lol

Dreamwork is hard bc I just have nightmares constantly. The struggle

Hey Sisters, I had a wonderful moon circle and ritual tonight to celebrate the Pisces moon. Hope you're all doing whatever brings you joy and peace on this full moon.

A Pisces moon brings back memories...i think it's known as the Corn moon? I'm not sure as i'm a little rusty on Moon names...they are all relevant and beautiful though...so glad it was lovely for you..

I wonder if folks on this thread are "out of the broom closet" to their friends/family/coworkers? It's something I've been thinking a lot about lately. All my friends know I'm into crystals, plants, astrology, etc., but I don't talk about my belief system explicitly. Largely this is because people don't understand and due to the negative stereotypes associated with witchcraft. Additionally, my worshipping a female god is at odds with all mainstream religions, obviously, so that would rub people the wrong way.

How do other witchy folks navigate this?

..my story of coming out and letting it be known gently that i was a witch..happened in stages...much like boiling a frog so slowly it doesn't feel the heat until it's too late!..unfortunately, i felt it was the only way i could acclimate my sisters to practicing the craft..it worked and altho they don't approve they are tolerant and my sister i'm closest to will listen patiently when the subject of the craft comes up..she is curious, i think but she is quite happy catholic...to each her own

gathered remnants of dried Thyme & Rosemary from my garden..placed the branches on my altar, taking a few leaves & the Thyme combining it with dried Mint from last fall for a tea..with meaning..
