Ní dhéanfaidh aon ní ach Grá

 

Tá cónaí orm taobh istigh do barróg.
Ciallaíonn Do glacadh gach rud
Is breá liom fós tú agus riamh stop
Tá mé ró-scanraithe chun tú a insint do aghaidh mar sin mé in iúl duit anseo.
Is breá liom tú. 

Ná stop a bhfuil mo lámh
Do teas agus do mothú a dhéanamh, dar liom compordach agus grá
Mo Gods daor conas grá agam duit

Riamh Tá sé seo mothú stop
Ba mhaith liom é a fás
Ba mhaith liom tú
Gods a thabhairt dom neart grá agam duit 

Prayers to St. Expedite

 I have always had an interest in the unusual. I'm always digging for the deeper meanings to life and have a firm grasp on taking my own spirituality into my own hands

The last few months I have learned a great deal about a seldom heard of Saint named St. Expedite. He is the patron Saint of emergencies. He is the "Why put off to tomorrow what you can do today" kind of Saint. He is wonderful at bringing around financial relief in a  hurry. He only asks for a nice glass of spring water, some red flowers (Roses preferably) and a nice slice of pound cake. (Totally serious about that one. Sara Lee if you can get it!) 

A BIT OF HISTORY 

It is said that Expedite or "Expeditus" was a Roman Centurion who lived in the 4th century AD. It is believed he was beheaded around 303 AD

The most popular legend surrounding the saint says that the day when he decided to become a Christian,the Devil took the form of a crow (a snake in some versions of the legend) and told him to defer his conversion until the next day, but Expeditus stamped on the bird and killed it, declaring, "I'll be a Christian today!"

WHAT HE DOES AND HOW HE HELPS

St. Expedite is prayed to in urgent causes and for speedy solutions.

He can also be prayed to or "Invoked" to help overcome obstacles that are in the way of your financial planning and success.

I have invoked him to help bring in money that it urgently and unexpectedly needed.

You can ask St. Expedite for a divine favor in finding work, money to pay your rent, medical bills and a ton of other pressing needs.

PRAYERS AND INVOCATIONS

FINANCIAL EMERGENCIES

To petition Saint Expedite for financial emergencies is to take a white and a green candle, carve your name on them lengthwise. Light the candles (and continue lighting the candles and praying to him until you receive his answer.) Have faith and do not doubt his power or willingness to help you.

Write on a piece of paper EXACTLY what you need and why you need it

Pray to Saint Expedite

I call forth the Power and the presence of St. Expedite in my time of financial trouble. I offer my body, heart, mind and soul upon your altar of light. I have faith and trust and complete confidence that you will be my strength in this time of need. Quickly come to my assistance.
Bring to me ____________ (Clearly express what you want, and ask him to find a way to get it to you.)
My financial need is urgent. Be my Light and Guide in this situation so that I may live with peace, love, prosperity and abundance and in the Praise of God.
Amen.
(Now promise to give Saint Expedite a specific offering If your desire is granted.)


FOR QUICK HELP

Light a Red and a yellow candle and recite the prayer every night until you get your wish

Saint Expedite, you lay in rest.
I come to you and ask that this wish be granted.

____________ (Clearly express what you want, and ask him to
find a way to get it to you.)

Expedite now what I ask of you.
Expedite now what I want of you, this very second.
Don't waste another day.
Grant me what I ask for.
I know your power, I know you because of your work.
I know you can help me.
Do this for me and I will spread your name with love and honor
so that it will be invoked again and again.
Expedite this wish with speed, love, honor, and goodness.
Glory to you, Saint Expedite!

As you recite this prayer, light a candle to Saint Expedite next to a glass of water for the Saint. Recite daily until the request is granted, then be sure to give Saint Expedite a gift. Also you can place an ad in the newspaper thanking Saint Expedite, Blog about it But be sure to spread his name and what he has done for you so that his name and glory will spread and grow.

These are just a few examples of how to Invoke or pray to this wonderful Saint

He has helped me and I know he can help you

Brightest Blessings and Much Love

It's So Feng Shui

Last Thursday I went to a Feng Shui Dream Board class at the Golden Braid Bookstore taught by my friend Jade. What this class did was give us all an insight to the importance of Feng Shui and how we can manifest out dreams through this Chinese practice of placement and energy flow.

According to the website http://www.whatisfengshui.net/ "Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice. It is the art of placing and arranging matter and space in the correct manner such that harmony with the environment is achieved. This harmony can refer to the harmony in the home, in relationships, in wealth and many other aspects in our lives. The practice has been around for several thousands of years and is still practiced in China and many parts of the world up to this day."

What I have found through alot of study is Feng Shui is a very important practice that has proven results. What else I have found out is.....Feng Shui is a pain in the ass.

Do you know how hard it is to Feng Shui a small apartment? Its damn near impossible. Its been driving me nuts for the last two days. There are only so many positions you can put a couch in your apartments living room and apparently none of the places I can put my couch is Feng Shui friendly.

According to this same website I cited above you can also improve your romantic life through Feng Shui...

"Feng Shui Tip
Want to improve your romance? First, clean up your home and free it from clutter. This is because a messy or cluttered room does not promote proper flow of chi. Instead it will leave it stagnant and stale."

Okay...I can agree with that (looks in her scary closet and shudders at the thought of cleaning it out.....Not to mention the recliner full of dirty laundry that has been sitting there over a week)

Feng Shui Tip
"Bedroom, for most of us, is for rest and relaxation only. Hence, do not bring work into the bedroom as the stress of work will permeate the feeling of harmony and make your love life stressful. It is also advisable not to work out in the bedroom as well since the strain and exertion of your exercise could remain and affect your love life. That is Feng Shui Bedroom for you."

But...But...But....I live in a one bedroom apartment and the only place I have room to put my computer is in my bedroom...and since most of my work consists of being on the computer....Dose that mean I'm fucked in the romance department?

Another article I read also stated you shouldn't have any mirrors in your bedroom as others can remove the good flow of Chi through them.....What...The...Hell?...My bedroom is nothing but mirrors. I have a huge mirror over my sink...yes my bathroom sink is in my bedroom..don't ask, my place is tiny....my walk in closet with sliding doors is nothing but mirror and is right in front of my bed...which apparently is also a big no no. So according to Feng Shui...I will never get laid again. That makes me a sad panda.

And according to another article it is optimal to have your bathroom located in the Northwest section of your home.....You can Feng Shui your bathroom?...Well, I guess optimal flow of Chi can help you in there...Get it...Flow...yeah...I'm that good...lol....Funny enough....that is the only thing in my tiny little apartment that is Feng Shui friendly. My bathroom sits directly in the Northwest quadrant of my home. Woohoo me....Bring on the steak...its flowing through baby!

Now apparently if you cannot Feng Shui your furniture and possessions in a optimal flow pattern (Looks at her cramped little space and sighs) you can place things in your home called Feng Shui Cures. A Feng Shui Cure consists of placing an object in a certain spot in your home facing a certain direction to nullify the bad chi and/or to help the flow of good chi into your home.

A cure can be something like a small statue of a Dragon or a Phoenix placed just right. You can get a money tree and place it by your door to help the flow of money come into the home. But be careful, if that part of your home is not in accordance to the Chinese Bagua then you can be doing it all for nothing.

What is A Bagua you ask? Another very important step in the process of Feng Shuing your home. (Is Feng Shuing even a word? I don't care, I'm using it.) It is an 8 sided map or compass to where things in your home should be placed. North South East West Northeast Southeast Northwest and Southwest. In general, The Bagua is another tool that is a pain in the ass. Important....but a huge pain none the less.

Example....The Southwest of your bedroom should be Feng Shui devoted to love and romance.

Well, in the Southwest of my room I have a bathroom medicine cabinet and a bathroom sink. (told you, tiny apartment) And to top it all off...Mirrors EVERYWHERE.......AAACCCKKK. No love for Amy.

How in the hell do you Feng Shui a medicine cabinet and a bathroom sink? All I could do is buy a few cures. I have my Dream Board that is dedicated to love and romance sitting on top of the medicine cabinet...(Its very pretty there and looks down on my as I sleep, all pink and sparkly full of pictures of happy couples holding hands and kissing) and underneath the cabinet I have put two peaking ducks...a cure for the Feng Shui of love.)

Now...Anyone who knows me knows that I am a witch and a Celtic Witch at that. I practice a very old ancient Celtic Irish path of the craft, I work with old Celtic Deities and I love every bit of what I do. Feng Shui however is something very new to me and its confusing the ever living fuck out of me.

Please readers, Don't think I am here bashing the ancient art of Feng Shui, I'm not. It's something I have seen in practice and I have seen it work. It's a practice that has been around for centuries with very proven results. Results I want to be a part of. I want more money flowing into my life, I want love to walk right through my door, sweep me off my feet and take me straight to my bedroom (Waggles Eyebrows suggestively)But holy fuck am I limited in what I can and can't do in my tiny space.

So in conclusion, I keep reading on this ancient art and I keep finding new horrors in my home that are Feng Shui killers and I do my best to cure them. I will keep you updated on the struggle and hopefully I will have some good results soon.

Happy Feng Shuing.

Spell Work Saturday

I have been thinking about what to do for different days of the week to help my little blogging adventure be more productive not only for me but for my readers as well. So on Saturdays I will be introducing a new bit of spell work for those of you who are practitioners of Magick to help you along on your everyday path.

This is a nice little bit of hoodoo that really helps bring in some money when its very much needed. It comes from the book Rootwork by Tayannah Lee McQuillar. Try it, you will LOVE it!!!

It's called "The Big Bank Book" Candle Spell

Ingredients:

A little honey
A little sugar
A little cinnamon
1 green wind chime candle. (I use the wind chime size because they don't take to long to burn down completely and you can actually pack more power into those little candles than you can in a big candle or a votive and the energy is released to the universe quickly.)

Instructions:

Take the green wind chime candle in your hand of power and charge it with the intent of MONEY!!!!!
Once you feel the candle is full of your intent take the honey and put it in a small bowl and mix in the sugar. Anoint the candle with the honey sugar mixture and leave a little of the mixture aside.
Place the candle in its holder then dust with the cinnamon.
Place a little of the honey sugar mixture on your tongue...DO NOT SWALLOW YET....and you then tell that candle covered in honey and sugar exactly what you need and how much you need and when you need it!
See...your sweet talking the candle...LOL
Light the candle and swallow the honey mixture. Bury any remnants of the candle once its burned completely down and remember...Believe and Receive.

Good luck with this spell and Blessed Be
