My Altar For Celebrating Hecate (August 2014)
So I've decided to post my altar photo so that you all can see my altar all lit up. I think seeing the candles burning really brings this spiritual connection to anyone that sees them. Altars, of course, are the centerpiece of most pagans and a lot of them can't imagine living without one in their home. So here's mine, to Hecate, and I hope that you like it.

Honoring Hecate and Remembering Pompeii
Tonight I'm going to be doing some cleaning of my devotional altar and emptying my jar that has my barley grains in them. Incense burner will be emptied into the trash and then cleaned out. It's also a time to purify the house so that good things will continue coming into the house. Today also has a another meaning to those that practice Hellenic anything. Today is the 1, 935th anniversary of the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Thousands of people died because they didn't understand that their mountain brought death. I really feel sorry for them and any other people that suffer at the hands of these mountains of death. But, we have learned a lot from what they have left behind and I'm planning to do a ritual just for them. May they rest in peace after all this time.
Honoring Hecate is the most important thing that I can do during the whole month. She has brought me great joy and luck in my life and I want to repay that. I know that many Hellenists out there don't like her due to what the Wiccans have done, but I don't hold that against her. I think not honoring her is telling her that your no longer good enough to be honored because your now a Wiccan goddess. Below is a good documentry that I've found about the last day of Pompeii.
Have a great day

New Book and Working On My Bridget Altar
It's been sometime since I decided to do something with the plaque of Bridget that I bought months ago. I've finally figured out where I want to put her and I have a tiny altar going on to her. This is the place where I'll do my witchy stuff, instead of turning my devotional altar into a witchy altar. Yeah, I know, I'm confusing people. On another note: I've got a new book that I checked out from the Library. It's called Pagan Every Day and there's one thing to do, everyday, that's suppose to help you with your path, deepen your connection to your spirit, and help you out over all.
Now I've only done one of the rituals, but I really felt this something when I did it. I just loved the feeling that I got and that makes me want to do it again. So this time I'm suppose to do a ritual to Vertumnus, Nemesis, and Moirai. The Vertumnus was Etruscan, a culture that was defeated by the Romans. They took their gods and put them with their own. Which, of course, was just nature worship and spirits; stuff like that. Nemesis was the Greek god of revenge, but she also was defender of divine law, and the speaker of divine anger. She balanced things out.
Moirai represented youth, maturity, and old age. All wrapped up into one. I'm planning on writing down the rituals until I can get my hands on a copy. It's going to take time, but I know that I'll be able to get it done. And then, everyday, I will blog about what happened and let you know how I felt doing it. Going back to the Bridget Altar. I don't really believe in huge altars that are cluttered with stuff.
I think that nice and simple does the trick. But I do want to get something to prop my Tarot card that I will be drawing. I do plan to get back to honoring her and I'm going to give her offerings. Now, I'm not abandoning the Greek gods. They've helped me. But I want to honor the Celtic gods a bit more. Well hope that you have a nice day and I'll see you tomorrow.

Being Silent On Bridget
It's been over a month since I last posted and I guess I just needed a break from everything. I took a break from Bridget and now I'm back to blog more often. I don't know why I took a break from Bridget, from honoring her, but I just felt the need to do that. I feel as though I really don't know my path, that I keep jumping around. Others have no problem staying with the path that they've chosen but I happen to be one of those that can't stick with anything anymore.
I'm not giving up this blog, but I'm thinking about making it a bit more tiny then I have. A little spot where I can honor Bridget and not take up any room. I'll let you all know more about what I'm doing soon enough.
