A meteor Shower this weekend~~~

Hello Dear Readers,

Well I did say that August was going to be a busy month and it is.

It seems I forgot that we are also having the Perseid Meteor shower which is starting today!

You can see I'm excited about this. 

The showers will run on August 11, 12 and 13.

The peak of the showers will be about 1 a.m. on August 12  PDT at least I think I'm right about the time---but check on the internet for where you live.

Part of the problem about viewing the showers this time is that we have a waning Gibbous Moon which is about 77 to 85% brightness for the weekend, so it may make viewing a bit hard.

Now you know I'm big on spiritually charged waters so if you want meteor shower charged waters this would be a good time. 

Now why is this shower called the Perseid?

Well it appears to originate from the constellation Perseus, and I know Who was Perseus?  Perseus was the legendary founder of Mycenae and of the Perseid dynasty of Danaans, was, alongside Cadmus (founder and first king of Thebes) and Bellerophon the slayer of the Chimera, the greatest Greek hero and slayer of monsters before the days of Heracles.

 From Wikipedia--- Perseus in Greek mythology, "Perseus was the son of Danaë, who was sent by King Polydectes to bring the head of Medusa the Gorgon—whose visage caused all who gazed upon her to turn to stone—as a wedding gift. Perseus slew Medusa in her sleep, and Pegasus and Chrysaor appeared from her body. Perseus continued to the realm of Cepheus whose daughter Andromeda was to be sacrificed to Cetus the sea monster.

Perseus rescued Andromeda from the monster by killing it with his diamond sword.[8] He turned Polydectes and his followers to stone with Medusa's head and appointed Dictys the fisherman king. Perseus and Andromeda married and had six children. In the sky, Perseus lies near the constellations Andromeda, Cepheus, Cassiopeia (Andromeda's mother), Cetus, and Pegasus."


So why collect that water, well if you need courage to overcome monsters of any kind this kind of water used in spells or rituals would be the kind you'd need.   And since it is a waning Gibbous Moon, waning moons are for banishing so it would work to help banish your fears. 

If you are big on star gazing then for the next three nights it should be fun, pack a nighttime picnic dinner and if it's chilly where you are be sure to include hot coffee or hot chocolate.

Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q

What is the difference and uses between Licorice Root and Calamus Root.....

Hello Everyone, Not too long ago, but unfortunately while I was in the care facility with my broken ankle I was asked about Calamus and Licorice Root,  what are they used for or how can they be used. And I'm getting questions from my family members as well about herbs as they come up to the point where I'm getting a little overwhelmed. So I am going to post from time to time about different herbs some which you can grow and some which you can purchase.  So let's start with these two, Calamus and Licorice Root----- Both are herbs but each has their own different properties in the use of Conjure, yet both are used in either for controlling or dominating others, so in some ways they are very much the same and yet there are some differences. Licorice Root is used to gain power over and control of someone (an individual) that would include to change their mind. Calamus Root is used primarily to control a situation as well as or dominate a person. Calamus is seen more often in s...

We'll be going back on vacation~~~

Hello Everyone, My Husband and I have the SUV almost packed, we'll be leaving tomorrow to go visiting family and friends. I have family here that is house sitting for us and will be decorating the house for Halloween while we're gone for two (2) weeks. I will not be able to answer any questions or comments during the time that I'm gone, and my niece who helps me with my blog, will also be gone visiting some friends and enjoying Octoberfest, she deserves a vacation too. So if you post a question or comment, please do not panic if you don't see it come up and try to post a 2nd or 3rd time. Your questions or comments will be there but in a "holding" file waiting to be moderated, once either I or my niece returns it will get posted.  So please don't panic. When I return I hope to have some more articles to post,  I've been getting questions about the use of  keys, floor washes, dolls and pins, Florida Water, too much to even think about. But I have to say ...

Leaving on another Road Trip next week~~~~

Hello Everyone, Well next week my hubby and I are going to hit the road again, to see more family members and those that we only had a brief time to spend with. We are not putting a time line on how long I’ll be gone,   I’m leaving the Halloween decorating to my nieces and nephews, they will be house sitting for me.   Again I’m not sure how soon I’ll be back to respond to any comments or questions, but  I hope to have a few more articles to post here.   Some of you have given me ideas based upon your questions about what to write about, because I know if one of you asks that question I’m sure there are a hundred of you who may have thought about it. I love traveling in the Autumn, although the rivers and waterfalls do not run as full as in the late Spring (another time of year I love)   but there is always something spiritually exciting in the air during those two times of the year.     And I never know what I’ll come across. For me even at my ol...
