My great grandma always really loved them and also through the tattoo scene where the sparrow or swallow type bird is depicted often. I just love how tiny and sweet they are
Oh wow just WOW
I preformed a beauty spell invoking Aphrodite and the animal connection Iād like to share with regards to this challenge involves rounding up animals sacred to her. I chose the sparrow, dolphin and hare. I also have a connection with rabbits as well as sparrows.
The spell requires a mirror, current photo of yourself, photo of Aphrodite, blue in marker, clear tape and 5 blue candles.
On the back of both photos write down things you wish to improve (if not that then something better)
Stick the photo of yourself on the mirror. For 5 consecutive nites light blue candle and pray (I offer his sentiment~goddess Aphrodite the most beautiful of goddesses I ask you to help me see myself as beautiful as you are, help me make my body look the way I want, a body that is pleasing in the eyes of everyone. After the 5 nites put the image of Aphrodite in your right pocket and repeat prayer before leaving home.
You will want to keep the mirror and your photo in a dark hidden place.
And so mote it shall be.
What a little stinker! hehe

Just another update on my adventures with Bast: My kitties are even more interactive and loving today! My mama cat, Shorty, hasnāt let me out of her sight all day, and every time I sit down, she climbs all over me which is CRAZY unusual for her to do! If I wouldāve known it couldāve had these kinds of effects, I wouldāve started honoring Bast way sooner!
He does! Itās like heās attracted by the flickering or something. Little firebug.
Glad your workings with Bast is going so well! Sounds as if Shorty is reciprocating the love youāre putting out!
Nice name for a powerful Dragon.
@christina4 Beautiful family of birds!! They remind me of this āto have faith is to have wingsā Your altar is very inspirational!
@Jewitch I think Bast is showing you gratitude for taking care of her babies !!
@Amethyst The book of Cat Magic?!? I need it!!! What else does it have?
Book of cat magic I heard? Iām sold!
For my witchy challenge, I got caught up today doing mundane things (Chores) so Im running short on timeā¦Feeling like the white rabbit over hereā¦ āIām Late, Iām Lateā.
As Iāve mentioned before Iām really in tuned to Cernunnos (Horned God), this has not changed. He and Hecate both have a presence in my life, but Cernunnos feels much stronger.
Every night I thank The Horned God and The Lady for their Guidance, Their Wisdom, and The Abundance they bestow upon me each day. I burn a Sandal wood Incense every day and mist my room with Sandalwood and Vanilla.
So I thought doing the Charge of the God would be a nice thing to do tonight for this weekly challenge. I also am going to put some Stella Artois Hard Apple Cider in my new Chalice as an offering.
Charge of the God
Blessed Be,
Your music boxes are amazing, @Christina4- such a lovely collection! And the statue of Isis- WOW! I am in awe
The Cat Magic book sounds like it is worth a read, @Amethyst- thanks for the recommendation! And naughty Max playing with fire A good choice to stick with this beautiful spell, it carries your intent and is stronger than any physical flame- beautifully done!

Christina & Travel Witch,
I love that you picked the eagle they are very strong birds!
They can pick up rather large animals! They are very unique birds.
During I was looking up some correspondences and didnāt realize in my book how each bird can help for certain spells! This helped me expand my mind as far as spells go. Never thought to incorporate an animal so to speak during spell work. I am learning so much! And sooner or later my spell work will have a lot of meaning and purpose.
Jeannie
Thanks
Itās not that big, it took me a day to flip through it. But it has some history about cats, and deities. A lot of about finding a familiar and protecting them. Itās a good if short book.
Thank you! I just didnāt think it was safe to track the cat down with a lit candle. LOL. Heās a big cat so if he doesnāt want to be carried, heās not carried.
Kassie,
Thank you for this lovely information!
& will try your book to recommendation! Thank You!
Jeannie
Youāre welcome! I hope you enjoy it!
A very wise decision, Kasie! Max may not know it, but I am sure he is grateful to have avoided any singed whiskers or accidentally-toasty fur
From seeing your lovely entries and beautiful posts, I can confidently say your spellwork is already full of meaning and purpose, Jeannie! I know you put a lot of love and pour your passion into all that you do- it is a delight to see! I think you are as strong and powerful as the mighty eagle
Thank you very much! Iām always messing around and changing things up.
Travel Witch,
Thank you, I appreciate your support through all my up and downs. I always have a good friends to rely on since I been here. That was the sweetest thing anyone could have said to me at the perfect timing. So many times I thought I was a **** up. I just want you all to know that since I practiced the pre test know I am going to the asvab on the 15th! Iāll be studying hard!! I am strong like an eagle and protected like a turtle! Thanks so much!
Jeannie
You are very welcome, @Jeannie1- and Iām so happy for you! All your hard work and passion has sprouted into something wonderful, wishing you the best of luck with your studies! Draw on that protective turtle energy as you spread your wings and soar like an eagle .
Good luck and blessed be!
This is really lovely @Amethyst . It shows how much you love your fur babies. Loving the little prayer as well.
