Reddiker Woodes

Charmed I'm Sure

I've waited for this box set it seems like forever.  Not just to buy it, but to actually have a time to get it and watch it.  I was so into Charmed when it first aired on The WB, I couldn't stand it.  I watched the first three seasons loyally, but had moved during the middle of the third, and hadn't got the satellite installed in time, and new apartment, missed episodes.  So I figured I would wait for the entire series to be over with, but never thought it would be eight years.  When I had first seen the boxed set for sale, it was a normal box of each season.  Pretty cool, but I think they could've done better.  Two years later I looked this up on Amazon this weekend, and bought it without question.  We are getting through so many shows, that are next big screening will be Charmed.  49 DVD's, almost 180 episodes, back scenes, and a bonus CD.  I'm in heaven.

     

     

     

     

 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 

Happy Imbolc

So even growing up on Pennsylvania I always hated that stupid groundhog and "ground hog day".  Of course he's going to see his shadow at 5:00AM in the morning with a million television lights on him, duh.  I would rather celebrate Imbolc, and for Imbolc, I have a little solid white granite sparkling owl. He's about 2 inches high, and can be held in the palm of your hand.  He'll make a great addition to the altar.

 

 

Just for DreamWeaver

Hi there buddy. Got the pictures finally up and they are over at Down the Rabbit Hole. Everything looks great and I feel at such peace in there now.  Now to read and study for the next year and a day. Hopefully this time next year I'll be able to actually recite what I need.

Blessed Be, Merry Meet and Merry Part, and Merry Meet Again.

 

 

Blue Moon For New Years Eve

 

 

Wikipedia says that the Blue Moon happens about every two and a half years.  Well this upcoming Blue Moon is the most powerful in a long time: New Years Eve, Second Full moon for the month (hence Blue Moon) and it's a Lunar Eclipse. Our next one wont be until August 2nd 2012 & the 31st. Along with this I've cleaned out my room to get ready for the upcoming year, and with the Blue Moon on New Years, it's even nine times more powerful.  

We've gotten our balloons to let loose at midnight and everyone is home and safe. My last post for this decade, and that's really weird.

HAPPY NEW YEARS 

 

Happy Yule

Wow, I can't believe this year has gone as fast as what it has.  So much has gone on and still so much to do.  But today we are spending time with some good friends, for a cookie exchange and Yule wreath making.  I'm so excited because it's also getting me to get back in to my room, do a good cleansing on it and start to do some more rituals.  Maybe now with the coming Blue Moon I'll also be able to update Down The Rabbit Hole once and for ever. I've actually taken some books out and have started to read them again and getting my supplies ready. Oh exciting times around the Woodes.

 

 
 

Papers, Stickers and 12x12's Oh My

It's been a project on the back burner for at least a year, if not longer.  But I'm finally starting to get back into my my spiritual life and grounding myself.  So much has been going on that I've lost track of what I need to do for myself on a daily basis with meditation and centering and making my soul more peaceful.  Well, I got a bug up my butt several weeks ago, and decided once and for all to combine my love of scrap-booking and spirituality into one.  Here is just a hint of the pretty papers I found for my project and the rest can be read here on Down the Rabbit Hole.

That Old Time Religion

The beginning of the week I was talking to a dear friend of mine from my old job, and he and I had been talking most of the day on line and we seem like we have both forgotten what's really important to us.  I've got so much going on with the wedding and Little Man's early education, that I've put aside the one thing that's really been a big part of my life, besides, the dolls and scrap-booking, and I really need to start to reconnect to my path that I had started on years, almost two decades ago.  We both are a mentors to each other, and we've both had lots and lots of things that have gotten in the way of what we like doing, well, that's going to change.  Dreamweaver lit a fire under my butt and got me thinking on the things I love.  Even FireHoth has been on me about getting back to my roots, and for me to start meditating again, and just go into my room.

I've had so many websites, blogs, under so many different names, and would get them started then never practice what I was preaching to myself, and I've had too many other outside things get in my way.  When we bought the house that we are in one of the things that we were looking for were some extra rooms that just didn't need to be used for bedrooms or offices.  Well in our master bedroom, we have two walk in closets.  One is supposedly to be just for clothes for the female of the house, and one small one for just the man of the house, which is just ridiculous.  FireHoth and I together will never have that many clothes, so the smaller of the two, became my altar room.  I painted it a light lavender and cream and it's just such a fantastic room, that I miss being in there.

Halloween is my biggest and best holiday, and I haven't done anything in so long I was starting to feel guilty.  The wedding will be Halloween, and I'm so excited about that, but there are other things that I need to include for that day also: connecting to the past and the people that have passed away, the actual symbolism for the day, and the true meaning.  

So for at least now, writing this all down will get me back to where I need to be, spiritually wise and quiet my head also.  Now to clean out the room some.

EDIT: As I was doing this post, I actually started another blog. Yeah, what am I thinking? Thank god for Typepad and multiple blogs on one account.  So with bringing over my old content will go now on Down The Rabbit Hole.  I'm so happy to finally be doing this and getting the time to bring everything over.  It's been a long time in the making, so now to start transferring.
