Spring Water Floor Wash
An excellent floor wash can be made by crushing a dozen white eggshells into a fine powder and adding a gallon of spring water. If this is applied to the floor following a good spiritual cleansing, it will aid in preventing the accumulation of spiritually negative forces. The room should be cleaned thoroughly first to get rid of the dirt, then mopped to promote spiritual cleansing. This would be considered a final rinse.

Floor Wash
What You Need:
Large Bucket
Flora from around your house, area, neighborhood etc. (flower petals, tall sweet grass, pine needles, leaves, small sticks even weeds.)
6 drops of Honey
Sturdy Wooden Spoon
Water
Collecting the flora... I usually recommend doing this at early springtime but it works anytime of the year to get things started! Fill the bucket about halfway with the flora you have discovered and then fill the bucket until the water covers the flora by at least an inch.... drop in the drops of honey and stir it all up with the spoon. Let the contents settle. Mop or scrub an already cleaned floor surface with the water in the bucket. There will be flower petals, grass blades, leaves and things all over the floor. Let it dry and then sweep all the flora up into a dust pan and throw it out the door. This cleanses your home of any negativity present and also opens a doorway for prosperity to flow in. You can repeat this as much as you wish but it only took one time for me to see results and now I do it each spring.

I'm sure I speak for nearly everyone when I state that I despise chain letters. We've all been the recipient of information we never wanted or needed at the hands of those who are enchanted by the stupid things.
Allow me to explain what those who do believe them are failing to see. Chain letters are ALL bullshit. The heart wrenching stories, the death threats, the misfortune and the list goes on.
The only REAL power a chain letter has is POS (power of suggestion). They suggest that something good will happen to you and your loved ones if you forward them, and that something bad or unwanted will befall you and your loved ones should you choose not to pass them on. So, don't waste your precious time even reading them, they are designed to manipulate you and everyone else who reads them.
When I receive a chain letter, I delete it without reading it, because, honest to God, I don't care about the bullshit that some loser with an overactive imagination & too much free time feels the need to harass millions of people with. The only way to break the spell of chain letters is to see them for the lies they are and refuse to pass them on no matter how wonderful the reward sounds and how devastating the consequences sound. NEITHER ONE WILL HAPPEN.
They do not in any way affect your life, or the lives of others except to annoy and upset everyone who gets them. So do yourself and everyone else a favor by refusing to pass them forward.
Blessings

HOW WORDS CAN BUILD UP OR DESTROY YOUR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS
0 comments Posted by Archangel_Baw at 9:55 PMHOW WORDS CAN BUILD UP OR DESTROY YOUR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS
-By Tobin Crenshaw
It has been said that a tape recorder will teach you more about communication than reading half a dozen books. Some times we don’t say what we think we say, nor do we always sound like we think we sound. Hearing it live and in color can make a big difference. That is because communication can be easy, and it can be very complicated.
When I was taking a graduate course on speaking, we talked about several parts of speech that are extremely relevant to how we communicate to one another in our deepest relationships.
First, there is what you meant to say. You had an idea to convey to your partner, but sometimes mistranslation happens, both in our mind and in theirs.
This brings us to part two, which is what we actually said. Perhaps what we said and what we meant to say are very different based upon our tone of voice or body language, or the words we chose to use. Semantics are no small thing. For instance, calling your buddy “stupid” may elicit a laugh and a grin at work. Using that word with your spouse who may have a severe aversion to criticism can leave you in a tough spot or sleeping on the couch.
This leads us to the third part of communication, which is what your lover hears. Again, mistranslation occurs very often. I tell couples that I counsel that communicating with your lover by text messaging and email is a bad idea. Using sound bites when you are trying to communicate with your significant other is a slippery slope. People read something that gets filtered through their own inner voice which they hear as they read words. We often read into words something that isn’t there.
This take us to part four, which is what your lover thinks they heard you say. When it comes to interpretation, we can be hit or miss. Step five is what your lover then says that you said, and step six is where it becomes even more complicated because it comes full circle with your interpretation of what you think your lover said you said. Shew! If you are confused that is ok, just understand that communication has several dynamics.
With communication being so complicated, is it any wonder people often misinterpret intentions? In fact, one of the most damaging things you can do in a relationship is to believe you know someone else’s motives. This is a dangerous and damaging game to play.
So how do make something that can be so complicated work? The good news is that it is actually very simple, when you just keep a couple of things in mind. The first thing to remember is that we can listen five times as fast as we can speak. As Norman Wright relates, “If someone speaks at 120 words per minute and you can listen at 600 words per minute, what are you doing with the extra time?” For instance, when your lover is talking are you off on a bunny trail in your mind, or are you waiting for your chance to speak or wishing they were done talking so you could interject a thought? If so, you are not really listening, which is the key to good communication.
Listening means that when another person is talking you are not thinking about what you are going to say when your partner is silent. This is incredibly disrespectful and hurtful to your partner. Truly listening is being present in the moment, taking in everything they are saying. It takes focused effort that lets the other person know they are important to you. Listening is taking in what is being stated without making a judgment, i.e. you are not saying what you think they said but rather just receiving it.
In fact, once you posit motives you can drain the life and energy out of the relationship. Think about it, haven’t we all had times when we exaggerated another person’s words? They make an innocent comment and we respond, “Ohhh, I see, you think I’m stupid.” In fact, couples know well how to play this game on one another, using words as weapons such as, “You are just like your mother.” How much better to choose our words wisely, and fully listen by being present as our lover speaks.
So the next time you are having a conversation, notice what you are doing as the other person speaks. Actively pay attention to how easily your thoughts drift away, or how quick you are to take over the conversation as soon as the other person takes a breath.
Try this instead, look into their eyes when they are talking (unless you are driving!), give feedback beyond grunts such as, “I understand what you mean,” and don’t use that extra time in your mind to drift away but rather stay engaged in the moment. If you do this, you won’t have to worry about trying to figure what your partner said about what you said, you will be able to relax and just talk!

The Chronicles Of Super Witch 08-> Blessed Be All New Witches
I have found that people new to the craft are easily intimidated and 'afraid' to voice their own beliefs and opinions for fear of rejection, mockery or just being made to feel stupid.
Personally, I love speaking with those who are new to the craft, I find them very refreshing. From my experience, they have just as much to teach as we seasoned Witches do, and I have never ever witnessed one witch bashing another for any reason.
I think the cutest thing they do is start their sentences with phrases like: "you're not gonna believe this, but..." to which I always answer "TRY ME!"
Or my other favorite: "Ok, this might sound a little crazy, but..." To which I reply "Crazy is just another fancy word for 'NOT CHRISTIAN!' As a Witch, I highly doubt that anything you're about to tell me is CRAZY!"
I know all of us Witches are open and honest with each other and it just makes me sad that younger and newer people in the craft are so afraid of harsh judgement and criticism.
So to anyone who feels inadequate because you don't know all there is to know, I just want to say neither does anyone else. Witchcraft is a constant cycle of learning and teaching. And No one knows everything save God/dess. So if nothing else, feel comforted that you are among like minded people who are proud to NOT be know it alls:)
We are Not a 'humble or meek' people as in the sense of Christianity, We are a RESOURCEFUL and Empowered people who WILL step up to the plate to help others in any way we can. The difference between us and Christians is that we know we are never POWERLESS to do what we will, especially when it is for the highest good of all concerned.

The Chronicles Of Super Witch 07->Love Spells And Why I Hate Them...
Archangels' Warning:) Although I've posted several of them in my groups, I personally despise love spells, and I've listed my reasons below..
Most people who perform love spells do so with the intent of making someone else 'fall in love with them'. Not only is this unnatural in my opinion, but it's also morally wrong. There are also other cases in which a person genuinely has loving feelings toward someone else, and they have no idea if the other person feels the same about them so they cast love spells or truth spells to find out. The problem with doing this is that nothing ever goes according to plan. I think if you must cast any spell, cast a spell for the courage and articulation you will need to reveal your own feelings to the object of your affections. If the person feels the same, that's fantastic. If not, ask why, maybe, its just bad timing. Who knows, but that doesn't mean you can't be friends with this person. If a love spell seems like the ony way to help you right now, it's only because you chose to feel that way.
My biggest issue with love spells is this: Few consider the RIGHTS (such as free will) and FEELINGS of the person they're about to hex. I used to feel completely insulted when others would ask me to do a love spell for them and so & so. I would refuse and then cite every risk I could think of in hopes of changing their minds. It seldom worked. So Here is some food for thought instead...
Questions You Should Ask Yourself First:)
Ask yourself the following questions (and be willing to answer them Honestly), Before attemping to do a love spell an anyone (yourself included:). Keeping in mind that I'm not judging you, or trying to force my opinions on you. But I AM, however, helping you to get in touch with your soul and be your own judge:)
* What if that person loves someone else?
* What if the person he/she does love is in fact his/her soulmate?
* How would you feel if someone stole your soulmate from you?
* What if it works and he/she is NOT the one for you after all?
* What if he/she becomes obsessed with you?
* How deserving of your love would you consider someone who did this to you?
* Do you really believe you can just undo it once it has been done?
* What if he/she commits suicide or murder because you decided you 'don't want them anymore'?
* Can you honestly live with something like that on your conscience, and why would you choose to do so?
* Did you realize 'Because I love him/her' is NOT an appropriate answer because this is clearly not an act of love?
* Has it occured to you why a person who would do this is evidently undeserving of the partner they seek to possess?
* Do you realize people are not toys or possessions you can just play with & throw out/give away when you're bored?
* Are you willing to take responsibility for the thoughts, words and actions of this other person after you cast the spell?
* Do you realize that love spells are 'Caging Spells' and serve to strip people of free will so they become subject to your will?
* Do you really believe you have the right to do that to anyone, or that anyone else has the right to do that to you?
* Have you seriously considered the harm this will assuredly cause all involved?
* At which point did you decide you alone knew what was 'best' for another person?
* Have you ever thought to yourself 'This is crazy!' ? Did you realize you were probably right?
* Do you have enough money to pay for the years of therapy you and your subject will require,
(probably for the rest of your lives), to undo the damage these so called love spells cause?
If you still want to do a love spell, scroll down.....
I strongly advise AGAINST ingesting any plant, flower/herb/incense ash without knowing the following:)
* exactly what the ingredients are
* whether or not the herbs and/or plants have been chemically treated,
* whether they are safe or toxic.

Grandfather Wolf
You're like a wolf in so many ways,
Watching over our family for all of your days.
You lead our pack, keep us healthy & strong,
You seem to 'just know' when something is wrong.
You sniff out the problems & chase them away
You give sound advice and always know what to say.
Your wisdom and love will always stay in my heart
Following in your paw prints is the best place to start:)
Happy Grandparents Day
Love: Tanahmera, Ronnie, & Marcus

Earth Angels...
If you could see what I can see,
sometimes you'd beg God/dess to be blind;
Past, Present And future,
I see clearly inside my mind.
I feel how hurt and broken your heart is,
I hear your spirit cry for peace;
I receive the thoughts you direct to me,
And all I want is to bring you ease.
You can disbelieve every word I say,
deny to yourself what I say is true;
I can still reach deep inside your soul,
I hear your angels plead with you.
They are asking you to listen, please,
Open your heart wide, PUSH IT as far as it will go;
Let your soul light shine bright enough
to find God/dess inside yourself, and grow.
If you continue running away like you are,
while fear manipulates your heart;
You'll end up in more pain than you can bear
to find yourself stuck back at the start.
I'm not reaching out to hurt or scare you,
or cause you stress or pain;
I want you to know that all of your suffering,
has not been survived in vain.
God/dess has a purpose for you,
Blessed Earth Angels that you are;
And His/Her Love for you exceeds all else,
it is written in the stars.
You're future is safe and protected,
regardless of what you choose to do;
So long as you trust your intuition,
it was given to protect you.
And remember when you feel alone,
an army of Angels is at your side;
They form a ring of protection around you
where only God/dess 's true love can abide.
But when your heart is closed,
their blessings roll off of you like rain;
You repel the very healing you're asking for,
while fear attacks and controls your brain.
Whenever you're feeling hurt and angry,
lonely, worthless, depressed or used;
I want you to know you can come to me
when you are beat down and abused.
I can handle the worst in you,
I can make you see the best;
When you're tortured by insomnia,
I will lay your pain to rest.
You do not walk this earth alone,
I am ALWAYS here for you;
So take my hand in friendship
and I will pull you through.
Brightest Blessings, Love & Squishes
