I have also updated the other lunar information- this is important as there are no Blue moons in 2013 or 2014. So for the new online students I added a Black Moon spell- There are going to be 2 "Black Moons in 2014! What is a "Black Moon" you may ask?
It is the second new moon within any calendar month. In 2014 there is a "Black Moon in January and in March!  

 

So there you go all the class information that you need, go ahead and sign up for a class or two, they are affordable and you can work them at your own pace and in the privacy of your own home. Kick off 2013 by celebrating your Craft and learning something new. 

Blessed be, Ellen

Good Morning,

My very first book Garden Witchery: Magick from the Ground Up, is part of a week long big KINDLE Summer sale from June 16th Through June 24, 2012. For one week it will have a special Kindle price of $2.99. So go snag a copy for you Kindle now and take advantage of the sale!

Garden Witchery will always hold a special place in my heart. It was my very first book and a whole series of Witchery Books was born from it. First we had Garden Witchery... then came Cottage Witchery, Natural Witchery, Book of Witchery and just this year Seasons of Witchery!  Also I should point out the Garden Witch's Herbal is a sequel of sorts to Garden Witchery...
I pulled out a clump of old purple cone flowers from the front gardens yesterday, as they had stopped producing petals and had weird shaped cones... not too sure what happened to them but I replaced them with a fun perennial Black-eyed Susans (Rudebeckia).
 
 This is drought tolerant perennial, makes a nice cut flower, and it can handle the heat and full sun of the front gardens. I actually found a picture of the variety I purchased and here they are. These Black-eyed Susans will grow to be 18-24 inches tall.

I thought these were bright and cheerful- just the thing for summer.     I hope you will enjoy your weekend in the garden, and when you are done working, grab your Kindle- take advantage of the special sale and read or re-read Garden Witchery: Magick from the Ground Up.

There is plenty there to inspire you. With flower folklore, spells and charms, and of course garden plans and ideas for gardens of witchery for sun, shade, faeries or moonlight.

Blessed be, Ellen

The Four Natural Elements and Personal Power- Class date- Sunday, April 15
A class that focuses on the deeper magick of the four natural elements; earth, air, fire and water. This is a more advanced look at the magickal elements. Here you will learn how to work with the magickal energy of the elements and how to incorporate their power into your life. This class will include a group discussion, ideas for creating your own elemental altars, homework assignments and a class group ritual.

Your Elemental Strengths: Removing Blocks Correcting Imbalances- Class Date- Sunday, April 22
The second class in the three part series looks to your personal strengths. What elemental powers and gifts do you favor, and what elemental challenges do you face or lessons are you lacking in? In this class we will look at ways to acquire wisdom with all four of the natural elements in a balanced and personal way. This class will also include a group discussion, journal exercises, homework assignments and a class group ritual.

The Goddess and the Natural Elements- Class date- Sunday,  April 29
This final class in the three part series takes a deeper look at the Goddess and her connection to the four natural elements. The Maiden, Mother and Crone aspects will be discussed as well as the Goddesses of earth and water, air and fire. This class will also include a group discussion, journal exercises, homework assignments and a class group ritual.

I have a real affection for working with the four natural elements. Folks often overlook the elements and consider it, "just for beginners stuff." The truth is they are very, very wrong. Studying, or re-exploring the four elements and how to apply this information into your magick- ups your game. This work takes a beginner to an intermediate level Witch, and an intermediate practitioner to a more advanced level Witch.
If you live in the St. Louis area I hope you will come out and join us this coming Sunday. I am looking forward to seeing the students from the first series of classes, and hope to meet a few new folks too. This is going to be fun!
Blessed be, Ellen
