She has since come down with Covid too so she has the flurona. Crossing my fingers I didnāt get it even through the mask, and I am officially quarantined. Sigh. At least Iām at home and not at hospital! Thatās a great thing!

It is crazy every time you turn around you need to get a shot for this or a vaccination for that now itās polio againā¦ Whenās it going to end!
Now that I have changed my path and itās taking me into a different journey Iāve learned so much. Spells 8 and all involved is responsible for that. We can now use healing powers for strength, protection spells and etcā¦
I hope you and your family feel better and have a great blessed dayā¦Mote It Be!

If I have any more crystals, stones, or rocksā¦ my husband is going to start using them in our yard or hiding them from me 
I donāt really need an excuse, but it will be Friday & I can say they caught my eye.
OH! That reminds me! We started going to watch the sunsets in different areas where we live & I walk the shoreline or go about calf deep & pick up treasures from the ocean or beach. Then I put them in a large vase in the kitchen. A lot of times they are rocks {shells too, but Iām also running out of room for those } & I collect beach sand & add it to the vase with the rocks from the same beach. Guess Friday we are going to Old Silver Beach & collecting some more beach rocks & sand 
So, some panic set it because when I first read this I thought it was this week & had to look at a calendar to check it out as I am so late to the party with this Merry Meet Monday post 
Congratulations to @john.knox for the most hearts & to @Medea for the most posts! 
- Thank you for all that you contribute to the coven & forum each day/week! It is greatly appreciated!
Iām sorry that I am so late to the party on this one, itās been quite the week & today was quite the ādayā. Speed bumps happen & in my defense we do still have tourists & snowbirds lingering around town so everything took a bit longer than normal today 
@Phoenix_Rose I hope your son starts feeling betterā¦ my son used to have the croupy cough every year like clockwork & we would do all the things to help him from sitting in the bathroom with the steam from the shower to bundling up & going outside in the cool evening/night air. After so many times though, {he had an asthma type issue when he got a bronchitis infection when he was about 7 months old in the hospital for a week} we had to bring him to the ER & they gave him a shot in the thighā¦ never had croup again. I wish I could remember what it was, but it was when he was a child & now heās 20 with no breathing issues & hardly gets sickā¦ gotta love daycares & public schools for building immunity to different colds & viruses! I will see if I can find what it was they gave him because honestlyā¦ never had croup or a croupy cough afterward.
- Good luck with your tournament! I hope you have fun & do the best you can to proceed through to the end & win!
I was on the fence about being out of the corporate job setting with Covid. I had to leave my absolute dream job in October 2019 & then by March 2020 my whole department was working from home 
However, I didnāt have a choice about leaving. My providers already told me that they wonāt sign off on me going back to work for any reason or even part-time. So it was something I had to accept & then go on disability permanently. Now though, I canāt imagine being able to get through the last couple of years & trying to work full time also. I definitely would have had some kind of major breakdown
@Medea you are very welcome & we are so happy that you love it here because we love having you! Even after over 2 years with Spells8, I still learn something new just about every day that I log in to the site or forum.
Iām so happy for you that your leg is starting to show some positive healing progress! I will keep you in my thoughts & healing energy that I send to you! 
I hope you donāt get the flu either! Positive energy sent your way & stay well! You got this under wraps!
Iām having a very busy week that on paper, shouldnāt be this busy But so goes life! All good things, I got my appointments out of the way since Monday & Iām hoping to be able to join the Group Ritual tomorrow for my dog Moonshine that we had to have put down at the end of June. Iām actually looking forward to joining this one for that reason & because it really feels like forever since I have been able to actually participate in the Group Ritual!
The only thing I have to do tomorrow is apply a vinyl sticker to a tri-axle dump truck for the driver. He works with my son & husband plus Iāve known him for years. When he figured out that the 3 of us were related he was so excited So heās on vacation & I made him a sticker for his truck at work. I want to put it on before he comes back on Monday & it will have time to set to the box itās on in the sun 
Other than that Iām going to try to get caught up within the forum because I feel like I have missed so much!

Thank you, @Susurrus. My son is already feeling better. It was quite quick this year. As people get older they do age out of croup. We also put Watkins on his chest. I so love that stuff.
He was in the hospital when he was 3 for āabnormally hard to treat pneumoniaā. What a crazy time. He was sick quite often but that was hard. He did also get a steroid shot to help with his croup one year. When he was 4 they removed his adenoids and tonsils. He was a different kid. Slept better and wasnāt as sick as often.
I am glad your son is so much better. That sounds like a good drug. You are probably in the states.
Sorry to hear you couldnāt work anymore. It sounds like it was for the best. I am happy that, apart from the tourists 
, you have a fabulous time going for walks and collecting rocks and shells. Sounds like fun. My husband does not like to go for walks and I am finding that I am not doing it on my own. I would love to have someone to go for a walk with. You would think I would walk with the dog more but we just play out back. If we go for a walk he just poops. I even play with him at home until he goes poop, sometimes twice, then I take him for a walk and he poops again! I mean honestly, how much poop does he have in him?! Lol.
Enjoy the tea ritual. I have a double header tomorrow night so I wonāt be able to join in. My poor Duke, I may just have to do it on Friday instead.
I hope your friend enjoys his sticker!
I hope the rest of your week is less busy. And is a lot of fun, taking in sunsets and rocks and shells :).

Thank you, my dear! Iām testing negative for Covid but Iām still crossing my fingers about the flu.
Iām sorry about Moonshine. Itā;s so hard to lose a fur baby. Glad youāre going to participate today though!

Yay for a negative Covid test! You got thisā¦ in that certain gift you got last year there is a sinus steam that you can use too. The ingredients have an antiseptic quality that it releases into the air.
Thank you, he was my first dog that was really mine & for 10 years my little guardian & rock. I will definitely be participating later today with something special for him & find a way to include Alphie. I know that he misses his little Big brother as much as I do.

Iāve used it before! Itās not that bad yet, Iām just doing prevention work right now. Thanks love, that gift is so special to me I donāt use it as much as I should.
Aww, you may have to get a friend for Alphie if he misses him too much. Some dogs donāt do well being an only child. Iām certain itās too early yet but something to think about.

Oh, believe me, I do. We got Moonshine before Alphie was even born. Moonshine was 3 
when we met Alphie as a puppyā¦ then we took, (not took), that sounds so badā¦ technically rescued him when he was about 1 1/2 years old. So the only dog he ever got along with & knew was Moonshine. (I donāt have the time to go into the backstory of Alphie, but he is much better now that he is a free range & climate controlled pup going to the vet) Losing Moonshine definitely took the wind out of his sails, but now he & I have this evolving relationship. I just hate leaving him at the house now, I feel bad.
It has come up about getting another pupper for him to have a buddy, Iām not ready & feel selfish but Iām also cautious because he is very protective of his house & his people & I know it would have to be a dog at least as big as Moonshine, maybe a little bigger or Alphie wonāt let it in the house. Unfortunately, he had a rough go before we rescued him, so he gets attached & protective of his comfort zone.
Girl, I got it so you would use it silly! I can always help you if you run out either make the items or replace them

Itās good that you rescued him. They know when theyāve been saved, thatās probably why heās so protective. When you are ready, if that ever happens, you can ask the shelter if you can take Alphie with you so he can choose his own pet.
I donāt use the simmering pot as much as simmer coffee cups. LOL! I canāt carry a pot of hot water over where I sit and I canāt stand over the stove long enough to get the benefits of it. But Iām using the rest, donāt worry!

what aboutā¦ a pot of water on the stove with it in thereā¦ back burner like a teapot Oooā¦ you can put some in the mesh bag & add it to a hot bathtub 
or showerhead 
& let the steam from that do itās thing too! 
However it benefits you the best, the other stuff is great too! I have it in my drawer with the other things I need starting this time of year. 
The temperature dropped so fast! 
I already have my compression pants on under my pants & I dislocated my shoulder last night in my sleep & it went back in when I rolled to wake upā¦ soā¦ Iāll be inside primarily until at least the end of May

Hi everyone! Wow have I been ill. My access power port got an infection and everything kind of domino-ed from there. Long story short, I was very sick, had it removed, inserted a PICC line and on the road to recovery - been sleeping sleeping sleeping, like non stop. I just came home from hospital yesterday and Iām starting to feel more like myself.
I CANāT BELIEVE I MISSED THE CATCH UP CHALLENGE UGH OMG!!! @BryWisteria BOOOOO, disregard my DM, I guess Iāll just post that liminal challenge anyway whooo! I have SO MUCH catching up to do and I missed every one of you witches so much!
Happy to be here, literally. So grateful Iām alive and get to know everyone.
Light and tons of autumnal love, 
Jan

Helllo @jan_TheGreenWitch!!
I am happy to hear that you are home and feeling better.
Sorry that your port got infected. I hope the PIIC line works better.
I missed seeing your posts. You have lots of knowledge and wisdom and kindness to share.
At first I thought the maple leaf was because you lived in Canada but then I realized it is likely for the change of season currently going on. so beautiful this time of year.

I saw you first on the Aura & Energy Scanning Thread & had just set I hope that you were doing well & recovering from your treatments. Itās nice to have you back!
