Greetings and Happy Summer Solstice to all my wonderful friends.
June 21, 2005 is the first day of summer. I have begun to wonder if summer was going to arrive, our weather here in sunny California has been kind of weird this year. We actually had rain in June that is very unusual here, but I guess Mother Nature is having some fun with us. I hope your summer is filled with happiness and joy.
Happiness Powder From my favorite cook book
"The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews by Scott Cunningham"
When you wish to lift your spirits, sprinkle this powder in a circle on the floor and sit in the middle of it feeling the powders energies and visualize positive happy energy surrounding you and infusing you with joy.
2-parts Lavender flowers
1-part Catnip leaves
1-part Marjoram
crush all herbs and mix well putting your best intentions in them.

June 22, 2005 is the Full Moon in Capricorn
What would a Full Moon be without a Great Spell to enhance your life.
To call upon the powers of the Full Moon to bring your desires, what ever they may be.
I have created this little Spell
You can do this spell at any time on the night of the Full Moon
Moon Magic Water
5-Drops Jasmine oil or Myrrh oil- this brings in the Moons powers
2-parts Honeysuckle flowers/ represents the moon in Capricorn
2-parts Basil herb/for love
1-part Nutmeg/for luck
2-parts cinnamon/ for wealth and riches
3-drops vanilla
Mix all together add 2-cups boiling water, let steep for fifteen minutes.
Strain mixture and put in a clear bottle and set it in the Light of the Full Moon, to gather the energies of the Full Moon. Visualize the Moons magic flowing into your body, soul, and mind as you gaze at it. Let the moons rays fill you with love and light.
You can then put the mixture into a spray bottle and spray when you need a little magic in your life.

What are you doing to improve your life? I make up little affirmations and sing them through out the day, singing is energy and as I sing I am creating the things I desire, like this little song:
"Life is good, life is good, life is good to me. I am so blessed and I can see that all my desires are coming now to me. What ever I desire is now mine you see. Happiness, love and bliss now come to me. Wealth and prosperity flow to me. I am so happy so blessed be."

This one I got from the book
"I am Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams, I am, I am, I am"
you can get it at http://www.richdreams.com/index.html
Sing it through out your day:
I am Rich beyond my wildest dreams I am, I am, I am.
I am Healthy beyond my wildest dreams I am, I am, I am.
I am Happy beyond my wildest dreams I am, I am, I am.
You can insert any word you would like in place of Rich, What are you singing? In Love! Loved! Smart! Beautiful! Wow! there are so many so have fun with this.
