Episode 8- I'm Back!
I'm doing a self imposed fiber club where each month I spin something from my stash and I can only spin that for the month and nothing til the next month
Self imposed yarn club as well (really I'm just knitting from my stash but it sounds better than just say it out right )
Gaenor is done and off the needles!
I also finished my first crocheted cookie scarf! (just need to sew it together!)
As for spinning we will not talk about the mishap and that darn cat (I swear he is out to get me!) I did however spin some FFF the color was called Sweet Pea (rav link to my stash page) and Its about 130 years of yummyness (is that a word?:)
I was also thinking about putting together a knitting/ghost hunting retreat what do you all think?
And for the last time PITTSBURGH GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL! okay that's it I swear .............. til we win that is ;)

Spinning - none :(
Occult- Eggs simple yet every affective this only works for love spells or hexing if you know different please let know!
How it works
Red or Pink pen ( sharpies rule! but it doesn't matter the brand but the colors matter)
Black pen
Depending on what you are do it for watch the moon, moon phases are very important The coming moon is draw/ bringing
The going moon is taking away/or making go away
Eggs can be store bought but the fresher the better!
come to me oil, or any other drawing oil will work for love spells
any hexing oil should do the same (though I have never used hexing oil on an egg)
write the persons name , state your intentions and throw the egg as far away from you as you can and hard enough that it smashes, it is important for the egg to break if it doesn't *do not touch it* you have to let nature take its course and it will take longer to work
Example/Sample Spells
Note: these are for personal use only and I am not responsible for any outcome whether it is positive or negative
Drawing
By the powers that be hear my plea bring ____________ to me
as my will so mote it be
Hexing
By the powers that be hear me now make ___________ pay for what they've
done as my will so mote it be
Note: you can word these however you choose add more to them if need be , make these your own!

Translates into end of summer
Also known as -Halloween ,Devils night and the Witches New Year
It is the time of year when the veil between worlds is the thinnest making it easier to connect with the dead .
Rituals from a solitary witches view-
A dumb supper - Dumb supper traditions - I always set a place with food for the person who passed with flowers and candles and sometimes a note ( this applies to animals too)
Not Everyone does everything the same Take the tradition and make it your own, To each his/her own
Lighting a candle - Its simple Just a light a candle of any type,shape or size. I normally let it burn til Mid night (12:01 ) you can say some words or make a small alter with flowers and something meaningful.
Please remember to practice good fire safety when burning candles do not leave them unattended and if you become tired please blow them out (your loved one/ones will understand)
As always its the intentions and belief you have that makes everything work
And just for fun the story of the Jack O' Lantern
Like Music you hear? - find it Here under Carnival of Lost Souls along with other great Music!

| 5+ hours a working wheel (with ladybugs) |

| (left) The unspinable dog hair and the lovely merino (right) both came as a gift with the wheel |
![]() | ||
| My sad attempt at plying that is 3 different piles |
Money spells and charms
money incense
money floor wash
money soap
money dolls
money oils
money powered (not recommended)
money sachets
How to section-
First you will need a small bag whether you make it yourself or buy one is fine ,something the size of a charm bag will be perfect if you are making it (looking at it from a knitting perspective ) something the size of a soap bag is good green would be the ideal color since it is dealing with money
you will need patchouli 4 parts (if you cannot find the herb the oil will work)
clove 2 parts
cinnamon 1 part
mix all these together and place in the bag carry the bag in your purse, keep it in your car , in your dresser drawer to attract money to you.
Money oil
patchouli 7 drops
cedar wood 5 drops
vertivet 4 drops
ginger 2 drops
Mix as the recipe says or until you feel comfortable with what you have made
Money oil it normally used by rubbing it on your hands or anointing candles and letting them burn for seven days to draw money
another way which I have used this oil is to put it on the money let it dry then spend it, it always returns in the amount first spent or and an amount divisible by that (such a $5, 10, 15, 25 and so on)
Please remember that these things do not happen over night and that you have to have belief that it will work and that if they do not then there is some reason, such as it was not meant to be ( some people do get to greedy) or its just not the right time for it work.
