Pagan's Magical Notes:
Goodness me. Somehow I managed to miss last weeks
posting. My humblest apologies. Though I intend to make up for this by, hopefully,
posting a couple of new blogs. One on celebrating you and another on the humble
besom. So watch this space.
I do hope you all had a good week and that you are now
starting to feel the effects of nature waking from her winter slumber and the days drawing out again.
Though it must be said, last week was chilly in most parts of the UK
I start work in my kitchen.
Now this Monday we have a Full Moon, so don't forget
to put out all your crystals and tools you
wish to cleanse and charge. You may also wish to create some lovely Luna water you can use in all your magical works, or
add to washes etc. Simply put some spring water into a bottle and leave on your
windowsill to adsorb her beautiful rays.
If you check the tags in the right column and look for
'Full Moon' you should find some prayers, spells, activities etc. And talking of the
moon. The following is an from my Llewellyn's Witches' Datebook 2016 by Elizabeth Barrette about the Cougar
Moon...
Enjoy!
Enjoy and have a blessed week.

The
Cougar Moon
From Llewellyn's Witches'
Datebook 2016

February is the Cougar Moon. The last part of winter favours the solitary
hunters because there is so little food left, and the spring renewal has not yet come.
The power of Cougar lies in grace and solitude. They are elusive creatures, never seen unless
they choose to reveal themselves. From the cougar, you can learn about enjoying your own
company.
To cast this spell, you
need a single beeswax candle. Ideally you should be alone.
Light the candle and say:
Cougar unseen,
come from between,
to join in my rite.
Concentrate on how the golden-yellow beeswax matches the tawny coat of
cougars. The wax's sweet smell symbolises the sweetness of solitude. Listen to the
quiet around you and seek the pleasure in yourself. Think back on some things you have
accomplished all by yourself. Visualise yourself as a cougar, alone and powerful, stalking
through the winter woods. Feel your inner strength and know you have the self-sufficiency to
stand by yourself.
When you finish, blow
out the candle and say:
Cougar alone,
time has flown,
go back to the night.
Later, keep an eye out for solitary projects and activities you can do.
