Thanks to all whom came this past Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 8pm. A few members gathered around to celebrate and give thanks to moon goddess at her full power. Magic and spells, love and gratitude, spirits and energy were worked this night.
The first order of business brought a few small spells for charging and making new amulets of protection. The main ritual was a gratitude ceremony to Ganesh for all he has done for us. Some of the songs played and danced to included Elephant Power, Om and Son of Shiva all by MC Yogi on his album Elephant Power. Some of the members rang bells and clapped while others shook percussion instruments for Ganesh. Ganesh himself was seen wiggling his ears and joining in the fun!
November’s full moon brought a special time for one of the members of SLPS. Ember Fire, the beloved advertising director happened to have been born on this auspicious day! With cake, card, candles and flower, the group gathered around her and sang and gave special birthday wishes and love. The benefit of Pagan birthdays besides all the goodies, is that the candles can be washed, cleaned and stored away until they are needed for wishing magic!
With the birthday over, the ritual came to a close and the cake portioned out. Woman Between the Wolves, SLPS adviser made a homemade white cake with chocolate frosting…delicious! Afterwards, the party continued with a viewing of To Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar!
