Well, after four 12 hour drives, a few days of cleaning up the estate, and being detained in Denver for an extra 3 days due to weather, I have finally made it back home! A LOT of stuff happened on this trip... to avoid confusion, I will do separate posts for each topic (otherwise it will make little sens and be super jumbled).
Glad to be back with my blog again! I missed it lots, and did a lot of free writing to make up for it.
On the downside, my step-dad's father (isn' t doing very well, and it looks like Jaelynn and I will be leaving on Saturday for another week so we can see him again before he passes. K, ya'll, I'm tired of death and could really use a break! Enough moaning though... It must be done!
Many Blessings my dears!

So long for now!
Hello everyone! I just wanted to write out a quick note to let you all know that I may be pretty absent over the next week. With the travels to New Mexico and settling my grandma's estate and cramming school work in there somewhere, I'm not sure how much time, if any, I will have to blog. Never fear, when I get home I will pick back up with my daily tarot and other musings!
Until then, brightest blessings to you all!

To the Hopi- The month of purification and renewal
The full moon for February is know by many names. I chose to use the Hopi name for this moon because, for me personally, purification and renewal is what's up on the menu. =) Many of you have read my blog on the death in my family (and thank you for the warm wishes and happy energy sent my way), and my mom and I have decided to leave on Sunday and make the drive to southern New Mexico to settle my grandma's estate. I have packed a small bag with items for energy/magical purification as well as a bag for physical purification. I got to thinking about it, and when the magnitude of the task at hand hit me with the realization that we'll be cleaning out a trailer that hasn't been opened in almost 5 months, I decided that I needed to go down prepared. And in this process of cleansing and sorting, I plan to concentrate on my own life and the bedraggled state it's been in this past week, and cleanse and purge all the negativity and remaining "nasties" from being sick. I think it's an outstanding plan. =)
Because of this cold I'm still fighting, I decided to not do any of my normal full moon activities, such as making my moon water, because I don't want any "energetically tainted" things residing on my altar for the next month. However, I did cleansing the drains of my kitchen sink (because it's been a good while since I've done that), using the method I found on Mrs. B's fabulous blog: http://www.confessionsofapagansoccermom.com/2011/02/clearing-your-sink-and-magically.html#more, then Jaelynn and I did our normal nightly ritual with her new Goddess Candle (I took a picture for your viewing pleasure!). After that I took a nice hot back with some chamomile, drank some homemade herbal tea, and hit the sack!
Now that I've talked all about my life, let me give you some magical correspondences for this moon!
Astrology wise, today is the end of the Aquarius and tomorrow begins Pisces! Good colors to work with are light blue, aqua and purple. When I think about things to do for this full moon, the first thought I had would be to lay down, put a pretty piece of amethyst on your third eye and soak in the light of the moon. If it is too cold to go outside, that's fine, just find a comfy spot in the house and bring the moon into you! Feel the light of the moon recharging your body, mind and soul. Easing away any pains or problems you're facing and replacing that energy with the light and love of the moon/goddess (whichever you prefer). Do this until you feel the light within your entire being and that it's created a sphere around your body. Slowly take this light and pull it into you, keeping only what you need, then sending the rest back into our beautiful Earth. Make sure you eat a little something afterwards if you need additional grounding!
Hope you enjoy! Many blessings to you this full moon!

Full Moon Tarot- Feb 18th, 2011
Today's card draw came up with the Five of Pentacles. ©Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
Spiritual poverty, material troubles, insecurity, hard times, neglecting the body's needs, being ostracized and excluded.
This card covers a wide range of potential issues, and when I look at my own life, I can pick out a few examples... The past few days have been crazy and I have forgotten to eat lunch a few days in a row, and barely picked at a dinner. This is neglecting my body. I've been sick, dealing with a strange family death and attempting to cram a lot of school work into a few days in preparation for the road trip to New Mexico to take care of my grandma's estate. Hard times for sure.
The point is- it if the full moon. Take this time to restore yourself, physically, mentally, and spiritually, All three rely on each other, and neglecting just one can throw everything off balance.
Many Blessings to you!

Tarot for Feb. 17th, 2011
Today's card comes in the form of the Knight of Pentacles! ©Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
Steadfast, conservative, and stubborn; he is set in his ways and on his path, locked onto his goal, with almost a tunnel-vision mentality. The Knight of Pentacles is methodical, thorough, and unwavering. He rides upon the crest of an earth dragon, grounded, slow but undeniable in its progress -- where he sets his sights will be reached.
So, no matter how slow the progress may seem, keep your eyes on the prize and you will get there in perfect timing.

Tarot Time! Feb. 16th, 2011!
Sorry this is coming late today.. is been a crazy busy morning!
Today's card is the Two of Swords- Reversed. ©Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
The Two of Swords reversed shows that you are caught between a rock and a hard place and you are finding it incredibly difficult to make a decision about what to do. You are really struggling to see what the right choice is as either option will lead to negative consequences. You know those "pro's and con's list's" that you've heard about and/or made before? Now is the time to do that to weigh each option that is available to you and see which will have the most favorable outcome.
Sorry guys, life happens! This is about decision making and doing what is "best" even when all possible outcomes (including what happens when you do nothing) are crappy. And remember, when you hit the bottom, there's no where to go but up! =)

Tarot for the day- February 15th, 2011
Today's card is the Ten of Pentacles- R- ©Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
Reversed, the Ten of Pentacles is about failure on the financial level. This card indicates financial loss, problems with investments, and lack of resources. Despite a lot of time and effort, there seems to be no foundation for future success. In some cases, this card represents the problems of money, such as fears about finances and quarrels over property, as finances become an impediment to the enjoyment of life. It could indicate that you are beset with financial burdens and responsibilities.
If this is applied to a relationship (given that yesterday was Valentines Day) where the relationship is relatively new, the reversed Ten of Pentacles suggests that while you are keen to progress this relationship further, you are still not 100% sure that it has potential for the long-term and you may be questioning whether your partner is truly husband/wife material or not. You may be looking for a long-term relationship, but you are unsure that your partner is going to be the one who will provide that long-term commitment. As my mom always said, if you can't picture a forever with them, don't waste your time. And you deserve to know that of your partner as well.
