I finally found some time to update the show notes…whew!! I will be so glad when I have finished this Algebra class…just one more week to go.
In this episode, I did a quick recap of Lesson 9: Communicating with the Dead. I really didn’t have the time this past week to devote to the dream journaling, but I will do that at some point. For Lesson 10: Spells, we have a lot to dig into. Not only are we learning about what spells are and aren’t, we get an understanding of why some spells don’t work. In this lesson, we learn an about magical properties of stones. We continue with water magic and how to make Lustral/Moon Water.
The music heard in this podcast is from Podsafe Music Network. We heard Summer’s End by Liquid State and the background music heard during the paranormal segment was Ghost Town by Abudtone.
I provided some information about Samhain which is on 10/31. This is the festival of the dead. A time when we honor our ancestors and our loved ones. This sabbat is strongly connected to divination and magic and is the beginning of the Wiccan year. Samhain is associated with the Goddess in her Crone aspect.
Colors associated with this sabbat for candles and such would be orange, black, gold, red, etc. (Typically colors you associate with Autumn)
Incense used can be any scent of your liking, but some prefer to use myrrh or frankincense. For your alter or around your home, you can use pumpkins, Indian corn, gourds, and anything else for decorations. Foods that may typically be used during your Samhain meal may include a dark wine, pumpkin pie, any variety of squash, stuffed game bird, and apple cider. If you choose to set a place for your ancestor(s), you may choose to serve bread, salt, and a glass of wine, beer, or cider. For ritual work, you can find some nice options just by conducting a google search:)
Paranormal Segment
I shared with you the experience I had with my mother about 2 years after her death. From seeing her in the hallway, to hearing her knock on my bedroom window, the only way I was able to receive her message was through the help of a medium. I have not had any other experiences with her once her message was given to me. I hope that one day, I will have another experience with my mom and dad. I feel that this is the reason I became a paranormal investigator. Maybe I am I searching for them. I know that I have felt driven to do this for years, so who knows. Maybe they are guiding me in the way I need to go in order to have an encounter with them again.
Don’t for get to send me any feedback you have concerning the Hot Topic concerning seances and Ouija Boards. Episode 12 will be recorded on 10/25/2009.
Blessed Be,
