Hello everyone & Bright Blessings, I have returned after what is again a ridiculously long absence. There have been some interesting changes since I was last here, firstly, that I and my partner, were married, on August 13th 2017! Marriage is supposed to be a journey, one filled with highs, lows, and everything under the sun but I feel we both have the strength it takes to succeed. Jobs have come and gone, things at our home have changed, but we are managing, despite what appears to be a unreliable economy for employment. "Tax time" is a bad time of year to get another full time job, because businesses are doing fourth quarter inventories and gearing up for tax season, they focus more on finances and reports, than they do hiring more employees.
Secondly, I want to announce my new start up "Sacred Star Apothecary and Curios" , of which a separate blog post can be found on here: " Sacred Star apothecary & Curios"
despite Ravenwolf's blog being my more visited blog, I do write a couple of others, as I can't have business, personal, and pagan blogs being mixed around in a ridiculous mess. Sometimes you can't mix genres around too much, people get confused.
We have the only supermoon of 2017 AND a Mercury Retrograde debuting on December 3, 2017, and I cannot say that I am looking too forward to that. I dread retrogrades because every time we have a Mercury Retrograde, it seems our lives hit the ditch and we find ourselves scraping by and a gazilllion things seem to go wrong, or just come to a grinding halt. I foresee that my online business venture will hit a slump, and my college courses might hit a snag too, luckily, I have extended time to finish out the term. I also foresee some of my other work to slow to a crawl, as everything tech related or communication related is ruled by Mercury, so I expect a lot to go on the fritz. So, before the communication grids go down, I would like to ask, that everyone that reads this blog, can you please pop over to this page : Sacred Star Apothecary's Facebook and give us a like and a share? I need the word out about my new business as much as possible, and I can't achieve that without everyone's support. I know this blog reaches people across the world, and right now I need the world to know my name and what I'm trying to accomplish!
In other witchy news, Friday December 1,2017 is when I am due to work another of my monthly Money Drawing spells, and I am adding in some Road Opening elements to it this time, in a attempt to keep the doorways of communication and success open, if only just a crack. I found a fantastic wholesale supplier for some much needed pagan and spiritual business supplies, to help me create my own products. You cannot run a business without a reliable source of supplies, and lucky me, those are some exceptional wholesale discounts on some really good products. This was the absolute only place that I found Abre Camino Palo sticks, and priced very good! Abre Camino wood or shavings is the main ingredient in Road Opener formulas, and to find a real piece of it to add to your ritual oils and powders is indeed a blessing!
I have to admit, that I find this period where the upcoming retrograde, is already taking its toll on my emotions and my inner self, the grey and rainy weather doesn't help much. I find myself feeling either really worn out, or prone to moods of melancholy and frustration. Maybe this added Road Opening element that am about to add to my next working, will open some blockages in other areas, and not just financial. I will not trouble my audience with my melancholic views, instead I will leave you all with a positive post. Until I return, hopefully soon, Blessed Be to All!

Some good news... 6/21/2017
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, once again, it has taken me too long to update, and at some point I am going to have to get back to my weekly updates as this trend of not updating has to come to a end. I hope everyone that has been reading and following this blog, that you all know how much that means to me, that you all are still reading, despite my absences. It is nice to know that I am not being forgotten and my words still have a meaning!
As to what I have been up to? Well I have to now formally announce my engagement to my partner of 12 months, his name is William Phillips. The date was June 3, 2017 . We have most definitely had our share of ups and downs and everything in between, but what relationship is made of roses and glitter? Just for the record, I was the one that proposed, yeah, rather bold move on my part! We are still by some miracle of Higher Powers, living at the apartment we rented in October of 2016, and that has been hard to manage. Finding and keeping that elusive thing called a full time job, has become something like a quest for the Holy Grail. I have to ask what does it take to prove that we are more than worth a opportunity and that we are quite qualified candidates? My partner started his first day with a new company today, but unfortunately for me, that has yet to be the case. I just hope for both our sakes, that something good comes along soon. I can't keep up this hand to mouth trend forever.
On the magical end of the spectrum, I have to say that I have not made a lot of time for full scale rituals except for a good cleansing here and there, and two Money spells that I try very hard to get done on that day of Friday before the Full moon. The last one I just recently done on June 2nd. also, during this week, I have gotten in contact with a rental company about renting a new apartment in the county next to us, so we just might be moving soon. That is yet another reason why I need FT funds ASAP.
On a brighter note, my younger daughter is coming for summer break, and you can bet your broomstick that I am counting the hours until Sunday, when my little flower will be with me again. She only becomes more beautiful each and every time I lay eyes on her, some days, I feel a sense of time creeping up on me, as now both kids are 15 and 12, and I realize how little time there is left, before they are really adults, and they are ready to go out in this harsh and demanding world we live in. I suppose I can only hope that what I have tried to teach them over the years, has some lasting impacts, and they make the best possible decisions for themselves.
It seems that my college classes have hit a slight nosedive, as two classes that I took this term, were dismal failures, and I will be retaking them again. Accounting is nowhere near my strong suit, and professional Word processing was a form of torture. I have intermediate experience with Word, as I use it to write my blogs, for writing my books, and the occasional other document. Nothing prepared me for what I encountered with the college's version of teaching us how to create professional documents, and how to use the plethora of features and functions of Word. The "Lab" online work tool that I have to use for the course, was a nightmare to figure out, and let me say that I struggled horribly. I was not aware that there were 1001 uses for a simple function on a Word program. I am just glad, that this week I have term break, so I can at least recuperate some fried brain cells.
When I am in here again, I will have something more witchy to discuss, and I will concoct a new spell or potion to give you all something new to try out. Until then, Blessed Be, and have a great week!

A Long Overdue Update.... 3/10/2017
Hello Everyone and Bright Blessings, first let me apologize profusely for the very long absence. Alot has happened since the last time I was in here. Since September 2016, I have moved with my partner Chris, and we have had our share of ups, downs, and in-between, at present moment we are struggling to keep up our apartment and our business and financial endeavors have been shaky, but are slowly improving. We are searching for another place to move to, as bills are eating our finances faster than we can replace them. Jobs here are hard to find, and we are seemingly both stuck with being self -employed for the time being. I know this all sounds gloom and doom, however there are some bright patches of light peeking through the clouds.
I am still a student in my Business Management studies, and let me tell you that Accounting has to be the hardest thing I have yet to try and learn. It is safe to say that I will not be pursuing a career as a full time accountant!
Today, we are going to do a new money spell that I have planned out. An idea struck me , while we were recently at the local library, I was there doing a book event for my published books, and while I was outside taking a break, I was looking at the pretty landscaping rocks that was part of the grounds there, and the words "let this rock become the foundation for success" flitted through my mind, and I looked carefully for a rock in their gardens, that I felt suitable to use as a "foundation" for my new spell. I picked out a smooth white one, it is a piece of regular white feldspar quartz, I'm sure you all have seen similar, they are white with bits of clear shining through them. So this rock, is going to serve as the foundation for a new success spell, and being added to it is dirt from four different banks, said dirt is believed to produce prosperity when used in Earth spells. I already have a dressed candle made, hand poured and dusted with herbs and gold magnetic sand. Next is the spell paper that needs to be written out. Ready made stick candles work just fine, but I like to make my own sometimes, as those have your energy crafted into them for a specific purpose. Tonight is the Friday before the Full Moon, which is my usual time to be doing money spells. Earlier I remade new batches of Money Drawing and Better Business powders... they smell fantastic. I apologize again, for this is going to be a short post, I have the money spell to do, and time is ticking by faster than I would like. To all Blessed Be, and I will return soon.

Mercury Madness. Sept 14, 2016
Hello Everyone and Bright Blessings, I apologize for not being in here sooner, I have been literally up to my nose in college class work, writing assignments, and Avon business arrangements to the point where I may as well call my laptop a extension of my physical body. As we all have noticed Mercury is in Retrograde for most of this month, and I have had my share of snafus and issues with that. We also had a New Moon solar eclipse on the second of this month and we are due to see a corresponding Full Moon eclipse this Friday the 16th. With mercury Retrograde being smack in the middle of the eclipses things have gone into a tilt a whirl of madness.
As for what I have been doing? In the last two weeks I have finished my semester coursework for my Business Management classes, making "A's" in all three classes by the end of term. I finally published my book " Hearts On Fire" this past Sunday on Sept 11,2016. Today I went Avon recruiting and customer prospecting, saw 10 people and maybe have myself a new recruit, I will know about that by tomorrow, then when I came home later on today, I finished four 500 word articles for my Crowd Content worker site, and added four more to do tomorrow. Crowd Content has opened up the floodgates to "Team Assignments" of which I am a part of. Which was part of what I asked for when I done the last money spell on Sept 9th. The spell worked like I asked it to, and now I am up to my eyes in work. Ask and ye shall receive!! And again later on this evening, I received a email, and a phone call from The Darkened Path website contact form, I have a clairvoyant meeting with two clients to schedule, so there is some more money coming my way. Yes, I charge a small fee for my services, products, and time spent doing serious magic and ritual workings, there is no wrong or shame in asking for compensation for services rendered. I consider myself a "working witch" and that means that this witch works and earns her way however she can! A skill not used or acted upon in a productive manner is a skill that is worthless. Some pagans and magic workers say this is wrong or against the Rede, however I do not subscribe or follow that path, so therefore I am free to do as I will as long as it harms none.
My relationship status has progressed to "Domestic Partnership" as my partner likes to call it. My partner is here for a week or so and then goes back to his apartment, as for now we cannot live together, that might change in the coming months, depending on how situations and circumstances turn out. He is in fact on his way here now, and his dinner is waiting in the microwave. He gets to dishes and help me clean the rest of the unfinished chores the rest of the week. I am supposed to be on semester break until October 5th and I seriously want to kick back and enjoy at least a few days of it.
This full moon eclipse we are about to have, is a whopper. Already the energy is speeding up and we still have a week of Retrograde left. I had a few days where my internet was down and not working right, and my phone was acting up for a few days, but aside from that things seem to be going rather smooth. I am going to have to go for now, the Domestic Partner is pulling into the parking lot, and I have to warm up that plate of food, made with love from this witch's hand. You have to feed love, and sometimes that is a plate of actual food. Have a great week everyone and I will return soon!

What happens when you don't do a time sensitive spell... 7/26/2016.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I hope everyone has had a good start to their week? I just finished week 4 of classwork, and my brain feels somewhat fried! I wanted to come in and share a witch's experience with you all, based on a personal life pattern I have noticed happening in my life for the last little while.
Ok so you all remember that I usually do a particular money spell on the Friday before a full moon right? I had been having great success with this spell and there had been no issues with finding, obtaining, and making bits of money here and there, life was going fairly decent on the financial spectrum of things. Well, for the last couple of months, I have not had the time to do this spell, and when I had time, well I was too busy with other things to get it finished on the right day and time, and I thought to myself, "Well maybe next time... we will be fine ..."
The result of me just not doing this spell on the right day and time, and failing to keep up with it like I should have? Oh the results are horrid... I started being in debt, I have had my lights shut off twice already, the bills started going behind, I have barely done Avon orders or gotten any customers, a check that was supposed to had come in for July never appeared,and I am having to wait until August to have that reimbursed. My credit card payment for July bounced, and I had to have a late charge applied to my account, and I then had to find a way to pay that. My state assistance benefits were cut in half, when I reapplied, and I lost what was supposed to had been my portion of said benefits, and now my bank account has went into the overdraft hole and the account has been closed out. What was once a steady stream of work for writing assignments, has dried up to near nothing, and we are struggling very hard right now to make everything we have stretch for another two weeks. Right at this current minute I might have a couple of dollars in my wallet, yes my dears the results are a disaster, and I am very stressed over it.
Am I going to be doing this spell come August? Yes you bet your broom I am doing this spell again, and never ever again allowing myself to just not do it or make the time for it. I have learned fully my lesson about what does and does not happen, when you forgo doing what is supposed to be a time sensitive ritual working. Apparently I seriously made a spirit or a higher power that is connected to that particular spell, very upset with me, and they decided to smack me hard with a string of bad luck and financial crises left and right, until I decide to formally apologize, and make a peace offering.
The next time frame to do the money spell, is August 15th, this date is the "Friday before the full moon" as is indicated on the instructions. I will be clearing my calendar of all activities and doing absolutely nothing, except focusing on clearing up my disastrous financial issues. Maybe the spirits connected to the ritual will be favorable, and show me some forgiveness, and let me have my money mojo back.
I am also going to do a bit of a working after the new moon, that is coming on August 2nd, as I have decided it is in my better interest on a lot of mundane and spiritual levels, to raise some energy and get back on the magic making schedules again. I have not made any oils, done any crafts, or any type of witchy inspired endeavors since about May and well my life seems to be suffering from that. School starts back here on August 1st, so my life will revert back to that academic time frame, and clear up some scheduling snafus that come when you have kids at home and no babysitter. I am going to go for now, and I shall return after the new moon, to update y'all about what is going on. Have a great week and weekend until I see y'all again!

July 17,2016 Capricorn Full Moon Is Coming.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, I hope everyone has had a good week? Mine has been busy yet again with college work, as obtaining that AS in Business Management has now become a top priority. I'm currently on Week 3, and this week I made straight A grades on every assignment, quiz and discussion. Since the last time I was here, my kittens and even momma kitty are gone, they have found new homes thanks to my D.M. stepping in to help save them from going to the shelter. I have had to recently invest into a carpet shampooer and a new mop, as my mop finally broke after 4 years of use. I have been writing on "Hearts On Fire " a bit, and writing on other work related sites. I recently ordered a Dirt Devil steam mop and a Bisell carpet cleaner, both are well made brands and I spent a good chunk of money, but it will be a worthy investment over time. It should be arriving in the mail in a few days time.For the last couple of weeks, the steamy and stormy July weather has made my sinuses miserable, and I have had to take OTC medicine to ease the tension headaches and swollen sinus membranes under my eyes and around my nose. The lowering of Barometric pressure and the torturous humid weather wrecks my ability to breathe and concentrate. Tennessee is ridiculously humid nine months of the year, and summertime here is no picnic.
Now onto more interesting matters, Last night we had a Capricorn Full Moon, (Yay for me!) Whatever romantic and business oriented endeavors we started on the Cancer New Moon of this month, will see a culmination on the 19th. Hopefully that will become on a positive note for most of us. Venus has entered the flashy and flamboyant sign of Leo, and we will see fabulous and fantastical displays of love and money being spent on all kinds of lavish and expensive gifts and frivolousness, until August 22nd. Be careful of taking those flashy displays too far, as sometimes there is a dark side to Leo, when their tempers and negative traits decide to come to the surface. Instead of flashy displays of love and admiration, we might see roaring matches and outrageously over the top temper tantrums, if by chance someone is not getting the attention or time they feel they deserve, or if feelings get hurt or trampled on. I personally am not too good with Leo energy, as it grates on my serious and stoic Capricorn nature, and the idea of being lavished with attention and spending too much money sometimes just turns me off, especially if it is presented in a way that makes me feel as if someone " has to" do these things for me, or makes it come across as a pity act. Me spending that money on items for the house, and then the bills being paid with money that I wished I could have held onto a bit longer, was enough to cause me a slight fit of discomfort, and I probably won't be spending too much more before next month.
I am going to go for the moment, as there is yet another week of classwork waiting on me to get cracking on. I shall return soon, and until then everyone have a great week!

July New Moon 7-4-2016
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, and Happy Independence Day to those who are celebrating. While I am not allowed to do fireworks where we live at (rules state on the lease), I am sure we will see our share of a good show from the people that live around us. Tonight is a New Moon in Cancer, and areas of relationships of all sorts will be highlighted. This can be either a business or a love relationship that begins, or begins anew, and the 14 days from tonight's New moon will bring us deep into the "all or nothing" relationship zone. We will officially recognize and cement serious relationships, from business mergers to even marriage proposals under the Cancer moon's influence.
I have not had the time to do any spells or any serious ritual work in what is now going on two whole months now...and that has become a huge mistake. I just recently enrolled into the AS of Business Management course at Virginia College, and this week has been non stop work on the first week of class. I also have not really had any major motivation or a real pull towards getting out the altar supplies or the spell casting materials. I have been going through a magical slump if you'd call it that. I haven't touched my spell bags in over a month, and I even put away all of my spell jars, they are all sitting in a drawer, waiting on me to remember and maybe renew my work with them, and come back to them. I started to feel like nothing I was working on or trying to achieve was gaining me the result or the manifestation that I was aiming for and I became somewhat turned off from trying. So one day in a fit of frustrated annoyance and the feeling of being totally dejected and "Why do I bother?" and " where is the point?" spurred me into striding to my room, and I started just taking down all of my jars from the tables, all of my bags from their usual spots, and in a dark drawer they all went.
I am a strong and realistic minded Capricorn, and if for any reason I feel like somehow that I failed, or something isn't giving me the result I am working towards, or I am seriously unsatisfied with something, it usually gets dumped and forgotten about in a fit of angry disgust. I personally cannot stand to feel like something I am working on is not working or is not happening in the way that I intended, especially after I have already put forth a lot of time and effort into it, and especially if it was something that I once felt had a purpose or a meaning to it, that will make me feel like I failed, or that I wasted my time in trying, and the feeling of failure and wasted time and effort, makes me feel despondent and sometimes will make me angry and I will say screw it and chuck it and abandon all interest in it for awhile.
That of course doesn't mean I actually failed, even I know that sometimes spells and magical workings just are not meant to happen, or the timing or the situations surround it, is not ideal for it to manifest, or even that there might be something totally different and perhaps better waiting on me to take notice of that Goddess and God has planned for me. But for right now, well those spell jars and the bags are going to stay in the drawer, until I regain my spark, and go back to being my usual witchy self. Tonight's post probably wasn't so cheerful or full of spark , and I apologize for that, but I really have to go for now. There's another week of college to attend, more work to do, and a witch's work is never done...
I have not had the time to do any spells or any serious ritual work in what is now going on two whole months now...and that has become a huge mistake. I just recently enrolled into the AS of Business Management course at Virginia College, and this week has been non stop work on the first week of class.

Wednesday June 29,2016 Healing the Broken.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. Today I am going to start this post with a prayer and Blessing request to the Goddess, in hopes that all who read it will get to have the experience they really and truly need. I have very recently had a not so great experience with a very emotionally and spiritually damaged and hurting person. This person has been through alot of pain, trauma, heartache, and if there is one thing I cannot do, is take back that pain for them or heal their misery, which seems to be both within and without. But the Goddess and God and all Higher Powers can, and this one time I am going to ask that someone upstairs will intervene on this person's behalf, before something worse happens and they find themselves on a path they should well avoid, before it may be too late.... What bothers me the most about the person and situation, is that I saw immediately how it is that they want to keep using their past and everyone and everything around them in their current life as a excuse and a crutch to keep playing the poor victim card to their advantage, in a mad and dangerous ploy to gain power and dominance over themselves and others, which is extremely foolish and just 10 kinds of wrong on all kinds of spiritual and moral levels. I don't know if really there is anything I can do or say to change or redirect them or their situation, and even though God and Goddess brought them into my life, I do not feel it is within my own personal power or will to be anything and anyone they really need me to be, or that I really have what it takes inside myself to bring about what is obviously a much needed change in their perspective and attitude towards themselves and others, and their viewpoints on life in general. I humbly and with reverence, give this situation over to Higher Powers, and ask that they do what I feel I cannot.

June Full Moon 6-20-2016, Modern Day Werewolfism.
Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! It's a full moon again and I strangely felt a need to touch on a topic that I haven't delved into for a good while. What you believe or feel is real or exists in the world is entirely up to you, however I personally have come to the conclusion that just maybe the creature I am about to describe is perhaps not just all myth and fairytales meant to keep keep our children safe and out of the woods. Are werewolves and similar shape shifting creatures real ? Legends and lore have come from civilizations the world over, spanning thousands of years, about a creature that can voluntary and involuntarily shift from human to animal form, the most popular of the shape shifting species being the much speculated and widely feared and sensationalized werewolf.
I want to get into a modern day perspective and description of shape shifters and the signs and symptoms that accompany said "affliction", seeing as medical science now has decided to term Lycanthropy as supposed mental illness, where one thinks, feels, and believes themselves to be a non human creature that can change it's form and shape.
Anyways.. Here are some signs, symptoms and traits that I personally have spotted among people that exhibit some rather interesting characteristics that symbolize and characterize the classic and modern version of what we all know and have been told is a true werewolf, or shapeshifter. In modern times it is now speculated that there are more animal type shifters than just the werewolf. I will list each trait and symptom in order from classic to perhaps not so recognizable.
Physical traits in modern day werewolves and shapeshifters include: Excess body hair, on the arms, back, face, legs and pubic areas, of which modern day shifters and werewolves strive to keep to a minimum by shaving, waxing, and depilatories. In men, beards and body hair may grow thickly and shaving, hair cuts, and "landscaping" is a must regularly. In women, well you get the idea, we ladies have to tweeze that extra facial hair, and getting rid of the extra body hair can become a daily chore that must be kept up on or else we look like a cave woman. Hair colors in shapeshifters and werewolves often take a tawny, dark blonde, brown, black and mixed shades of those colors, with eyes coordinating to "coat color" hazel, light shades of blues, and deep brown eyes are common, mixed shades of hazel eye color is usually found in those with sandy blonde or tawny brown hair.Vibrant green or gold eyes and brown or black hair is also not a really common color pattern in modern human genetics. "Dirty Blonde" and multi shaded hair is also common to see, as wolf coat colors often have mixed shading in the fur. Albinism, red hair, or other odd coat and eye colors are occasionally found but these are considered a rare genetic fluke and in old times, such children were abandoned or worse, disposed of by their parents, as said children were considered a serious genetic and social defect.
Nails and hair may grow rather long very quickly needing regular trimming in males, with females having the ability to grow and maintain luxurious hair and pretty manicures without much issues. Thickness of hair is not a indicator however most do seem to have thicker hair.
Facial features may take on a wolfish appearance, with high cheekbones, straight, slightly slanted brows, a larger and often long shaped nose, a sharp and penetrating gaze,which is hard to look away from, or to keep eye contact with for too long, prominent canine teeth and a strongly set jaw are more pronounced in males than in women. Body types range between tall and sinewy or shorter and slender, with females being on the smaller and more slender side. Most werewolves are not huge, hulking masses of height and flesh. Heavier weight and taller height impedes the quick reflexes and agility of movement and speed associated with lycan movement. Most of them can run, climb, jump and propel their bodies with a natural and fluid grace and agility not usually seen in your average human. A walking werewolf is noted to have a ground eating loping pace, and light on the feet, footfalls are naturally shifted to the balls of the feet, with heels mostly used to propel the body forward, with little to no sound being made with footfalls. Agitated, worked up, or nervous werewolves are prone to pacing if confined or shut up in the house or in a crowded space too long, you will see the occasional twitch or fidgety movements, signalling a strong itch to get up and move about. Being cooped up or having space restricted is not good for their mentality and if not given enough space to move about, a werewolf can get very moody and snappish.
Behavior characteristics in werewolves and shifters are sketchy to define, they can be loud and boisterous or very quiet, reserved, and shy, this is usually determined by astrological birth sign, a high number of werewolves and shifters are born during fall, winter and late spring months, especially September, January, February, and then April, May, and occasionally June, this mostly is depending on the time of conception of the child. If you will remember, real life wolf packs, the female goes into estrus during late fall to early winter, and then has the cubs in late spring. This estrus, pregnancy and birth pattern is seen in female werewolves and shifters too. There seems to be a higher number of Alpha type werewolves born than Beta and Omega types. Nature seems to be a determining factor in this, as if there are alot more Alphas in a smaller territory, there will suddenly be a boom in "cubs" born with less dominant traits to make the balance more equal. The ideal balance is one alpha or a male/female alpha pair to at least ten lower ranking werewolves, this keeps social dynamics amicable and reduces the chances of conflict between packs and loners. Populations of werewolves and shifters are not as huge nowadays, as modern society eschews having children until later in life, and we don't have large families anymore, so therefore most werewolves and shifters you come across now are of the older generations. Seeing a younger "millenial" werewolf is not a common a sight anymore, and most of those are born into families already possessing the werewolf or shifter gene. Populations and groups of werewolves and shifters usually have some type of familial link, and you will see a Alpha pair and their children, and relatives, or a Alpha couple by themselves, sometimes followed by members that have been accepted into a pack or group, and usually even then there is at least one familial tie, however distantly and ancestrally related, as all Werewolves and shifters share common ancestry to begin with. Genetic research and categorizing is essential in werewolf and shifter packs, as inbreeding is a serious taboo and couples wishing to be together are asked extensively about their families to ensure there is no direct relation anywhere that would be considered a form of incest or inbreeding.
Biological and social makeup of werewolves and shifters is not what it once was, as during the witch hunting crazes many of the original and old bloodlines were decimated. There are non traditional and controversial methods to create shifters and werewolves, and this practice is not usually well tolerated, as forcing a individual to become a werewolf or a shifter via magical or deliberate means is frowned upon. A werewolf can be created via the transfer of saliva through biting, blood tranfer or contact during fights, by unintentional and accidental blood transfusions, or by means of magical transmutation of which the victim is essentially bewitched into the werewolf or shifter state. It is unlikely that werewolfism can be transmitted like a STD via sexual fluids, as werewolfism is not classified as virus or a disease. Wars have broken out and packs have been decimated over the centuries, due to a few bad apple pure blood radicals trying to eradicate what they consider "impure" or "tainted" werewolves and shifters that are not true biological carriers of the gene, but were unfortunately created by other means. I say "unfortunate" as most werewolves and shifters that were purposely created or deliberately caused to have the condition are usually not willing or knowing participants. It is seen as a curse and a burden to not have a will or say over your own body and to be forced into a shape and form that was never meant to be yours to begin with. Some cannot adjust or handle the extremity of the changes in their mind and body, and occasionally you see a wild card werewolf or shifter that has essentially become a feral monster that cannot control themselves and that is a danger to any society. Their minds have snapped and broken down and the beast inside has total control, this is where extreme violent murders, twisted sadistic/masochistic actions and psychopathic tendencies crop up in society. In a realistic idealism, these rouge and feral werewolves and shifters are a danger to themselves and others and measures really must be taken to either keep them in line, or worse case scenario, dispose of them entirely. A wild and totally feral werewolf or shifter is a ticking time bomb that has a extremely short fuse,and little self control, that can be provoked at the slightest prodding.
Forcefully created and deliberately changed shifters and werewolves have a harsh and cruel stigma attached to them as being outcasts, impure, unclean, tainted, and what have you, and many of them are loners and social outcasts even among their own kind. This may seem to be prejudiced and perhaps a bit racist if you wanted to view it that way, and it can be made into that type of mentality among the few old bloodlines that carry true genetics and authentic bloodlines. There are a few of these elitist fools that still live and exist in modern society, and they make no bones about expressing their displeasure and anger against those that are not "Pureblood," and occasionally you see and hear about violent and bloody civil war like skirmishes among werewolves and shifters, about whose pack is superior or more dominant by either blood lines, social status or rank. It is the nature of Alpha run societies and groups to have dominion and control over their packs, territories and other rivals. Werewolf and Shifter social dynamics run on the basic principle of survival of the strongest and the fittest. This ensures that strong bloodlines and strong genetics, and even the few that have proven they are worthy of the title werewolf or shifter, to survive and thrive. There is little room for weaknesses of any kind in werewolf or shifter packs and if you are not pulling your weight or if you constantly cause drama, upsets, and issues then you will find yourself ousted and branded a outcast, traitor, or worse, marked for death.
Dynamics inside the pack or group of werewolves and shifters is a organized and strictly enforced code of conduct, ethics and morals that are enforced regularly. There is one dominant male, female, or male/female Alpha pair, followed by a Beta male, female, or pair, and a few or several Omegas that range from third in line to the bottom ranks. There is no break or leniency in this chain of dominance and command unless stated by Alpha(s). The Alpha and Betas are the pairs that are allowed to have children first, and to form mated bonds, Omegas may do so with permission. You will never see a Alpha male or female pick a Omega as a mate or parent to children unless it is seen or observed that said Omega has leadership or other approved qualities that will benefit the pack if he/she were to step up in ranks. Leadership qualifications and personality traits are essential traits needed to lead a pack and both partners must possess very similar traits to form a successful and equally matched pair. Loners and mated pairs of werewolves and shifters sometimes break away from the pack and join other packs or go off alone, this is acceptable so long as they have permission from their Alpha(s) and they are not causing trouble or problems for themselves or others. All loners and mated pairs are documented and how many children they have is carefully observed from afar, to ensure there is no risks of inbreeding, seeing as there are so few actual Pureblood werewolves left, it would be a disaster if a child was born to parents that were related and came from different packs and it was not noted or paid any mind to.
I will continue this post when I have more time and when I have my notes and information gathered. At th moment we are suffering a slight crises in home related affairs and I am borrowing a neighbor's wifi and computer. Blessed Be to all and I shall return very soon.

June Full Moon, coming 6-20-2016
Hey everyone and Bright Blessings. I finally got a minute to get back in here and update on what's been happening at chateau Capricorn. My daughter is here for vacation, she came in on the 10th, I have been mad busy with Avon and my writing work, and most recently, I have met a new guy friend. I say " Friend" for the moment, as we are not "officially" dating or in any serious relationship yet. It's all in the developmental stages, and I only just met him a couple of weeks ago. We both have very different lives and are at different developmental stages of our lives in general. I'm a single, working, head of household, parent, he don't have kids and just has himself and his own life to worry about, I'm older, he is younger... as I said..we are at different social, economic, and personal stages in our lives, and we are both testing the dating waters to see just how well that we will be able to get along and be able to co-exist, or not...how deep will those waters really get..? Can two very similar Capricorns make it or break it? Well time will tell...
My kittens are now a month old, and now there is Ranger, Caramel, Oreo, and Buffy. they have graduated from the nursing box and have taken over my bedroom, and they are fat, happy, and very precious. It's going to hurt when I have to give them up, seeing as I have committed and invested a lot of time and resources in making sure they have been well taken care of and loved. Two weeks from now I will be scouting for suitable homes, as they definitely are not going to just any home and to just anyone.
I haven't had the time to do any spell or ritual work aside from the last money spell I mentioned in the last post. Life has taken a interesting and quite busy turn and it shows no signs of slowing down. Two Gemini kids,a new romantic interest , 6 cats, work, household stuff, and a new 2 year college application process, and taking on the rest of the world, is not a easy venture..but we Capricorns will succeed and we shall conquer! I applied to Virginia College in Knoxville recently, for their Business Management course, and that is still in the approval process, I need financial aide to the max, and the flexibility of online courses. There are several job opportunities in my area for management and assistant management, however they mostly require a degree of some kind, or else they will not hire me. Owning and operating a Avon business actually gives me a slight edge, as we are responsible for the entire management of everything in our business venture, down to the nitty gritty, except for the details that require that the current District Manager to handle or perhaps even Corporate Operations.
We have a Full Moon in Sagittarius coming on June 20,2016. some of us will perhaps struggle with seeing a situation for what it really is, rather than what we want to fantasize it could be. Neptune and Saturn will square off a bit, with Saturn bringing us down to a realistic and earthy mind set, so Neptune doesn't distract us or carry us away with fantastical fantasies and unrealistic dreams and goals. Dreams and fantasies are important, but how much work and effort you put into making those dream and fantasies a actual concrete reality, and maintaining a realistic goal that is achievable during this time is what is more important. Saturn is the taskmaster and the workaholic, that will drive us to make those Neptune inspired dreams a reality, and will provide us with some very stern Capricorn energy to work with, and show us where our dreams need to get real or perhaps even be discarded in favor of a more grounded and realistic approach. Don't get so caught up in some fuzzy dream state that you push aside the facts and get lost in dreamland when you should be working. Launch yourself in the stratosphere, but make sure to keep contact with ground control, so nothing is lost in transition and translation. These planetary aspects apply to all matters of work, love, and home life relations. Don't get caught up in some rose colored scenario of love, only to find that Mr. or Ms. Dreamy and Perfect, is perhaps not exactly what you hoped they would be, or get mired up in a huge head in the clouds work project that you just cannot pull off. People are often not as they appear to be, and everyone has a side to themselves that they don't show to the world. Life is not a bed of sweet smelling rose petals, there also will be thorns on those roses sometimes. I am going to teleport out of here for a bit, there's work to do and the Witch's work is never done! Have great week everyone, and I shall return soon!

Two Gemini kids,a new romantic interest , 6 cats, work, household stuff, and a new 2 year college application process, and taking on the rest of the world, is not a easy venture..but we Capricorns will succeed and we shall conquer! I applied to Virginia College in Knoxville recently, for their Business Management course, and that is still in the approval process, I need financial aide to the max, and the flexibility of online courses. There are several job opportunities in my area for management and assistant management, however they mostly require a degree of some kind, or else they will not hire me. Owning and operating a Avon business actually gives me a slight edge, as we are responsible for the entire management of everything in our business venture, down to the nitty gritty, except for the details that require that the current District Manager to handle or perhaps even Corporate Operations.
We have a Full Moon in Sagittarius coming on June 20,2016. some of us will perhaps struggle with seeing a situation for what it really is, rather than what we want to fantasize it could be. Neptune and Saturn will square off a bit, with Saturn bringing us down to a realistic and earthy mind set, so Neptune doesn't distract us or carry us away with fantastical fantasies and unrealistic dreams and goals. Dreams and fantasies are important, but how much work and effort you put into making those dream and fantasies a actual concrete reality, and maintaining a realistic goal that is achievable during this time is what is more important. Saturn is the taskmaster and the workaholic, that will drive us to make those Neptune inspired dreams a reality, and will provide us with some very stern Capricorn energy to work with, and show us where our dreams need to get real or perhaps even be discarded in favor of a more grounded and realistic approach. Don't get so caught up in some fuzzy dream state that you push aside the facts and get lost in dreamland when you should be working. Launch yourself in the stratosphere, but make sure to keep contact with ground control, so nothing is lost in transition and translation. These planetary aspects apply to all matters of work, love, and home life relations. Don't get caught up in some rose colored scenario of love, only to find that Mr. or Ms. Dreamy and Perfect, is perhaps not exactly what you hoped they would be, or get mired up in a huge head in the clouds work project that you just cannot pull off. People are often not as they appear to be, and everyone has a side to themselves that they don't show to the world. Life is not a bed of sweet smelling rose petals, there also will be thorns on those roses sometimes. I am going to teleport out of here for a bit, there's work to do and the Witch's work is never done! Have great week everyone, and I shall return soon!
