Thank you! I just went out back & I’m drying off the table that I put them on. It’s just getting them all out there that is the problem lol. Between jewelry, trees, & stones there’s a lot.

You could always just charge what you’re planning to use that month. I don’t have access to even a window sill so I charge with a selenite plate. If I went and put things outside here, someone would steal them.

Look at you go, @Amethyst- best of luck with cleaning up and updating the calendar! :+1: Sorry to hear about the construction and renovation- what is it about winter that makes everyone want to build? The last few weeks up to the holidays have been non-stop construction in the streets out front and behind my place too. I would have thought that the frozen winter grounds are the worst time to be digging, but alas! They are out there in full force building away :building_construction::woman_shrugging:

Hopefully the construction there isn’t too intrusive and you (and your kitty! :cat2:) can have your peace, quiet, and privacy again very soon :blush:

You’ve been on a roll lately, @Susurrus! The shout out is well deserved- thanks for all that you share!

And well done with all the crafts- I am sure your friends will love the Yule charms :blush: The necklace sounds absolutely gorgeous- enjoy the full moon charging! :full_moon::sparkles:

Good luck with everything- hope the week is off to a good start! :+1:

I think they need the jobs, at least here in the States they do right now. I don’t mind getting new plumbing and getting the holes in my ceiling fixed, but I hate the thought of being away from home an entire day. That’ll be fun.

The week is off to a pretty good start. I got all kinds of things done yesterday. Today I made some elderberry syrup & I posted the recipe I used in the forum (Elderberry Syrup) I hope everyone likes it, seems like a good thing to have with the winter really settling in lately.

I’m still feeling good. Last week was definitely a soul-cleansing week for me and I am in a much better place now.

Thank you for the love, @BryWisteria. Spells8 is a wonderful safe space on the internet and I am proud to be a part of it.

Tonight is the full moon :full_moon: - :candle: candle magic is on tap. Tomorrow night I am seeing a close friend because we won’t be able to be together for New Year’s Eve. New Year’s Eve is going to be far more quiet here than normal due to the pandemic. :man_shrugging:t3: We still have a friend coming over and we’re planning on some good food and games while watching the performances on TV and the ball drop. :tada: I also plan on catching Australia’s fireworks :fireworks: show live via YouTube.

Thank you for the recipe, @Susurrus. I am glad you got a good start to your week.

I am sorry you will be out of a place for a day, @Amethyst, but it sounds like it will be worth it when it is done. :slight_smile:

You’re welcome! I have some of the syrup in my fridge now. Today I have been pretty productive despite the hand pain.

I’m going to be putting my crystals out tonight, I cleaned off the table that is on my porch yesterday. It’s just getting them all out there that is the hard part. I’m sure that I can recruit my daughter to help me out.

I think it is going to be just us for New Year’s this year, which doesn’t bother me at all. I will probably be in bed before midnight anyway, or at the very least in my room.

Yeah, but it’s going to be frustrating until I get a hang of what’s going on. I don’t like it when I’m not sure what’s happening. Makes me unsettled. Thanks for the encouragement though!

@brad1 I get my Elderberries from Amazon. They are dried and organic. They can be quite spendy though. I have made a fine tincture with some of mine which I have yet to make into syrup.

I see, @Amethyst- I hope they can fix everything up nice for you! I imagine it will be good to have those things taken care of. But yes, tough to be away for a day. Hopefully you have somewhere nice or interesting to spend the time? And hopefully someplace warm! :two_hearts:

I saw your Elderberry syrup, @Susurrus! It looks amazing- always a healthy and delicious treat :yum::purple_heart: I’m glad to hear the week is off to a good start and you are feeling good!

I think I can speak for the forums and say we are proud to have you here too- you are truly a blessing, @praecog29! :heart: Enjoy the beautiful Full Moon :full_moon: and the firework show- it sounds exciting! :fireworks:

Thanks to @Magdelina for the elderberry tip- and look at that stunning spread! Such a gorgeous setup- I hope you had a lovely ritual and were able to charge your oils :two_hearts:

Adding to CrazyT’s great pointer, for @brad1 I also suggest Mountain Rose Herbs or checking with your local apothecary/tea shop as they may have elderberries in stock or perhaps can order some for you! :+1:

Glad to hear that everyone is doing well! :blush: Things are busy with both work and New Year’s prep at my place- keeping me on my toes! I’ve got my cinnamon ready for the NYE ritual tomorrow and I’m considering a bath ritual as well to cleanse for the new year. I just need to find the time! :bathtub::laughing:

Is everyone ready to welcome in 2021? :partying_face:

I’m gonna either sit in the lobby or the community room. That is unless I have a doctor’s appointment. So I won’t be too far if they finish up early.

Are you doing something special for New Year’s? I probably will go to bed at my regular time. I’m just not up to staying up late anymore. Good luck getting everything you need to be done! I’m so ready for 2021 it’s not even funny!

I think I am going to do a ritual shower for cleansing on NYE and the intention releasing spell from @SilverBear. I have written down my intentions and I’m hoping they work out. I’m going to buy some more cinnamon sticks and some oranges and lemons for another simmer pot tomorrow when I can get to the store. Like @BryWisteria I just need to find the time, so hopefully, I wake up early to get these things done.

Nope, but then I never am ready. I have to work tomorrow, but…I got my eggnog ready, I am still trying to look for a ritual for tomorrow that I will be doing at midnight with my sister in law who is ringing in with me from Wisconsin. Worked on more chakra oils and intention jars. These are coming together nicely and I hope to be done soon so I can get them listed. I already sold one of the yellow (solar plexus) oils. I have a good feeling that 2021 is going to be my year. :grin: and I am ready for it.

Well it’s time for my nightly meditation. Good night and Blessed Be!!! :sparkling_heart:

A good plan- I’ve got my fingers crossed they work quick and you can kick back and relax in your home sooner than expected :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m with you on the plan for going to bed early- I think the last 2 years I’ve fallen asleep before midnight and I intend to stick with that new tradition :laughing::+1:

Thanks for the good wishes, Kasie! I think I’m finally all set for the new year: I finished my house cleansing, had a nice bath cleansing ritual, set my goals, and did the NYE cinnamon ritual for luck this morning. I am also very ready for 2021- bye bye 2020! :wave:

It’s my partner’s bday today, so we’ll be having a very small celebration with just the two of us and some chooclate cake. That’s the limit of the festivities here- my partying days seem to be long behind me now :joy:

Cheers to that, Krissie- it’s been a hectic time! You have some wonderful plans for ritual and spellwork, enjoy and welcome in the new year with many blessings :blush::two_hearts:

A wonderful feeling! I think you are more ready for the new year than you know, CrazyT- I hope it is a year overflowing with joy and happiness for you! :hearts: Have fun with your sister-in-law, were you able to find a good midnight ritual?

Sounds like you’ve been busy this morning! Good for you! I’m going to be doing the NYE ritual tonight I think. I’ve got some chores around the house I need to do first.

Oh, and Happy Birthday to your partner! A little birdie told me it’s @Limeberry’s cake day as well!
