Greetings!

Free Candle Spells recently asked readers to answer a few questions about the site and what they want to see in the future. Your response was overwhelmingly positive and I thank each and every one of you that responded. It is good to know that you enjoy my writings! Here are the statistics per question:

1.) More than 53% of you visit the Free Candle Spells website every week.

2.) Almost 59% of you used a candle spell from the site more than twice and 24.7% of you used a candle spell once.

3.) Over 52% of you clicked on the article separator banner ads on the site.

In addition, many of you gave great feedback on what you wanted to see. I am going to implement many of  them right away to make Free Candle Spells more effective and better for you to use. Here are a couple of comments I would like to answer now:

“simple rituals for esbats would be great to find here. I love the site as its a great reference page for me. Thank you )O(“

Answer: I would love for YOU to give me some information on esbats as this is a path I do not follow. In fact, I encourage all who read the blog to submit your candle spells, especially if they knocked your socks off, so that it will help the next person with your same situation – J.

“other’s comments regarding the spells and the articles.”

Answer: I add a comment or answer a question sent to me by way of an article creation and I send the querent (the one asking he question) an e-mail stating that the question was so good that I turned it into an article. Some comments are more leading comments to have their own situation discussed and that is not what this blog is for. That would better be served in a discussion form type of blog, not a more informative blog as this one is set up to be(It’s a website mechanics thing) – J.

“I love the free Candle Spells website ; however , the timing in which I receive the spells / instructions need be posted earlier than a few days before they are to be implemented so I have enough time to gather the items required for the spell.”

Answer: Totally understandable and that is why I sent out the “one week until New Moon” newsletter alert the other day so you could go shopping this weekend. I have already marked my calendar to send those alerts out a week before a major Moon change so you can gather up products – J.

I appreciate all of your wonderful and supportive comments and would like you to submit candle spells and rituals of your own (especially with photos!). This way, we grow as a sharing community of candle spell workers making change in our lives and the lives of others.

Blessings!

September 22nd is the Autumn Equinox, commonly known as the First Day of Fall. This is my most favorite time of the year, when Nature is in her glory, sending foliage into various hues of reds, gold, and ambers. This is also a transformational time for us as humans as well. After working so hard throughout Spring and Summer to bring ideas and wishes into fruition. it is now time to harvest what we have learned and take that with us as we wind down and cocoon for the winter months. This is the time to take a good look at what is working for us and what is not sustaining our needs, whether your needs have shifted or not, and what can be utilized from the old methods and that can be tossed out.

Releasing of the “Old” and keeping the “Viable”

As we pack away that swimwear, blow up pools, barbecues and gardening equipment, take time to toss out anything old, broken or worn out. Donate any summer clothing that will not be of use next spring or sell them at a yard sale. Harvest your herbs and prepare them for winter. But even as we do this, it is time for an internal cleaning as well. This is a season to enjoy the end of the summer fruit and begin to imagine lovely pumpkin and apple treats as well as hearty soups that will warm the soul as well as the tummy. Cooler weather means brisk walks for exercise without sweltering in the summer heat and you can even make leaf raking an aerobic event by adding a bit of “oomph” to your moves.They don’t call them sweatpants for nothing!

An “Attitude of Gratitude”

Despite the above words being often used, they still ring true. Despite all the intensity of growth and possibilities that the first part of the year had brought you, this is the time to consider what was successful and what did not go so well. We live in an age of transition, and many, including myself, have had to become a chameleon of sorts, changing with the times and needs of society. “Make hay while the Sun shines” is an old quote I tell clients when a certain card comes up in their Tarot reading as it foretells that there is plenty to ‘harvest’ and they need to ‘fill their barns’ with all that they can gather before the season ends. Yet, despite economic changes that may have affected your income, there are still opportunities available for those who are crafty and see the need with open eyes. Use the gifts of the season to gain financial blessings during this time. Walk dogs for those who cannot get home early enough to do so. Consider tutoring children with their homework. Offer yard clean up services for those who are physically unable to do so. Offer end of year cleaning services that take away their unwanted goods and prepare their homes for the winter months. Work with the season and it will bless you with opportunities you might not have considered.Consider offering your culinary services to cater events that are planned for the holiday season. Make seasonal jams and butters and package them attractively and sell them at holiday crafts fairs for shoppers who want a unique gift.

A Time to Dream, Plan and Conspire

As we approach the winter month with their many days of less sunshine and long nights, take time to begin an inner journey to make change as the year comes to an end. Your life is not stagnant; each passing year brings new challenges and opportunities, but only if you open your eyes and see them. Formulate plans to begin anew. Consider taking classes that will be a positive addition to your resume. Learn a new language. Start painting or writing again – who knows, you may publish a series of e-books and make additional income. On Tom Sullivan’s radio show, it was said that the most successful e-books were romance novels. Consider writing one and at the same time, saving expensive publishing and printing fees and destroying the forests with the printing costs. People can download them to their computers or other media apparatus and read your creations.

Utilize that energy of balance that nature is releasing and know that with all things that may pass, there is live ready to spring anew. Use this time to transition and transform yourself into an beautiful, more vibrant you in 2012.
