I’m sure I’m not the only one who struggles with plowing through the paperwork.
Being the person in charge of handling all the ‘back-end’ bookkeeping, tax-filing and paperwork-processing duties at The Sacred Well, I haven’t always kept up with my end of the bargain in the timeliest of fashions.
But I decided to finally tackle the huge piles of to-dos last week... and I used the energy of the new moon to help jump-start this initiative.
To mark my intention, I lit a tall white jar candle last Monday morning, the day of the new moon. I chose white to represent the purity of my vision, to organize and clarify the financial data of the store. I dressed the candle with sage (to get rid of any negative energy attached to this work), a couple drops of our Mind Untwister elixir (to prepare my mind for detail-orientation), and some white glitter (because glitter is fun).
It burned on my altar all last week, and a HUGE amount of work got accomplished. Thank you, universe, for helping me face my paperwork demons... and to show me that the whole thing wasn’t nearly as ‘demonic’ as I’d feared. I actually enjoyed the organizational efforts.

What's a "Cornucopia Hat"?
It's an amazingly creative birthday gift!
Today at The Sacred Well, creative co-conspirators Arielle and Aaron put together a super magical gift for a "Earth Mama" friend of theirs (Taurus, Year of the Rat...of course!). They grabbed up a hand-made witch's hat and filled it to the brim with wonderful things!
A carnelian for power, a rhodocrosite for heart healing, a pyrite to draw money and an azurite/malachite for beauty and steadiness. They added a few black, purple and peacock feathers, some flowers they picked by the lake, and some yummy bath salts and soaps. A little tissue and a little fluffing, and voila! the best birthday gift for an earthy Taurus gal!
Thanks for inspiring us with your creativity, Aaron and Arielle!

Getting Container-ized at TSW
We recently began the project of making the back of the store look as good as the front of the store. It's important to be organized in our minds and personal space as well as organized in our public space.
So, we began working with Barbara Duncan, the professional organizer who helped Ninette and I with our home. She came in, made some great suggestions about how we could elevate stuff off the floor onto the walls, rearrange some items to create more space, and, finally, she said, "Container-ize!"
We got to work! We took about a week of Iris and I pulling everything off the shelves in the back, going through it, giving things away, throwing old stuff out (why do we have bags of corn husks? Rabbit raises her hand...guilty.)
Now, look at how great it has turned out! Things are organized, and we're in a better work flow. We started a productivity spell, and it's all coming together!

Herbal Love Magic with Rabbit, 4/19
Herbal Love Magic
a workshop with Rabbit
4/19/09
3-5 PM
$35, includes all class supplies
The Sacred Well
536 Grand Ave.
Oakland, CA 94610
510-444-9355
Please call and have your credit card handy to register for the class, or stop by the store and sign up.
“LOOOOOVE is a many-splendored thing…..”
Like it or not, we witches are quite often sought after regarding affairs of love. “What?” you ask, “Can you really make someone fall in love with me?” Let me put it this way…unethical love magic creates drama, bad karma, and ill-will. Ethical love magic creates confidence, personal magnetism, a sense of heart-centeredness, and the eventual attainment of long-lasting love. At this workshop, we’ll align ourselves with the vibration of universal love in a meditation, then explore some of my tried-and-true recipes for creating herbal potions that are designed to help you sashay, simmer, smolder, shimmer, and sail forth toward your heart’s desires.
This is one of my most well-attended and popular workshops on the road, and this is the first time I am offering it as a class here in the Bay Area. Join us for a ribald, fun, heart-warming good time!
