just another friday night with the girlies
I usually don’t follow the Gregorian calendar with my path but this one day is so traditional to my life I always follow through with it.
The last day of the year I wash all the laundry, clean the house, reset it with sound and then smoke. Once that’s all done I wash my doors and reset my wards.
In a bowl I have moon water, Florida water soap bar , cinnamon, clove and woodworm. (Herbs and items in your wash should be personal to you and your path)
My house feels great and I hope others always feel it’s warmth when they are here
Happy new year 🥰
Knot of one
Goldenrod
Solidago adora, Blue Mountain Tea, Sweet Goldenrod, virgaugrea , woundwort….of the Compositae family.
Gender: Feminine
Planet: Venus
Element: Air
After the American colonist rebelled against British Taxes by dumping a cargo of taxable tea in the Boston Harbor, there was no tea around to drink until someone made a brew from the leaves of the Native American goldenrod (aptly called Liberty Tea). Liberty Tea became a mix blend of whatever you could make using local native berries and herbs.
The tea was so tasty it was later exported overseas.
Indian medicine men recommended a tea of the leaves for intestinal disorders and of the leaves and flowering tops specifically for colic. They made another brew from the flowers to treat urinary disorders and dropsy(edema). A close relative, Canadian Goldenrod, was also a medicinal source for the Indians, who applied a tea from the leaves to bruises and wounds. Early physicians approved of the use of goldenrod leaves as a diuretic, a carminative (to ease gas pains), and a diaphoretic (to promote sweating).
Goldenrod was once badly maligned as a cause of hay fever until it was shown that its pollen is not airborne but carried by bees and other insects. It blossoms at the same time as ragweed, the real culprit, which has inconspicuous flowers.
Habitat: dry, open fields and woods.
Range: Native to the United States, goldenrod is found in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Northern America, Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida.
Identification: a perennial herb growing 20-49 inches tall, goldenrod has extremely narrow, green, smooth edges leaves, up to 5 inches long, that smell like anise when crushed. Tiny yellow flower heads form clusters on the ends of outwardly curving branches. (July -October)
Uses: Herbals still recommend a goldenrod leaf tea to alleviate intestinal gas and to promote swearing in cases of fever. Pharmacologists state that it’s used as a carminative (for internal gas). The yellow flower heads are sourced to make a yellow dye.
Magical uses: often used for money and divination. To see your future lover wear a piece of goldenrod. They will appear on the marrow.
When held in the hand, the flower nods in the direction of hidden or lost objects, or where buried treasure Ellie ax of goldenrod springs up suddenly near the house door, unexpected good fortune will soon rain upon the family living there. It’s used in money spells also.

Hunter Moon in Aries ♈️
The Hunter moon got its nickname because this was the time when hunters started to forage under the moonlight before the winter season.
Full Moons are a time of maturation, release, and closure: they represent a moment to reap the fruits of our work and witness the results of our efforts.
This moon is a time for taking back our power and standing up for ourselves Right now is about really contributing to the causes you are truly passionate about!
The Full Moon in Aries peaks as the Moon is conjunct with Chiron and while they both oppose the Sun and Venus in Libra. Chiron is a celestial body placed between Saturn and Uranus, mythologically associated with the figure of the wounded healer and teacher. In Astrology, Chiron is connected with our healing journey and has a key role in our individuation, particularly in those evolutionary processes that are born out of navigating grief and rejection from a place of openness and surrender.
The Aries Full Moon conjunct Chiron (asteroid) is maximizing our sensitivity, both emotional and energetic, while illuminating wounds that aren’t fully healed. This Full Moon is revealing to us something we are being encouraged to address, inviting us to progress on our healing journey and take full responsibility for our healing. It invites us to explore our connection with our anger, with our primal impulses, with the strength of our raw desires, and brings to our attention disempowering beliefs and assumptions relative to the power of our will and our assertion.
This is a time to reflect on who we are in relation to others, and on what we need to feel free to express ourselves authentically, without compromising our needs and desires, while remaining open and available for the people in our lives. We have opportunities to explore how to establish a healthy interdependence within our connections, avoiding the extremes of enmeshed codependency and detached independence.
Aphrodite
According to Olympian myth, Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus, the personification of heaven, after his son Cronus threw them into the sea. Hence, the goddess's name comes from the Greek word aphros, meaning “foam.” “Born from the Foam”
Aphrodite was born of this merger of sea and sky. She came ashore at Cyprus, caries to land on a large scallop shell.
Most associated with Greece is originally a Semitic fertility / war spirit, akin to Astarte or Ishtar:
- she may be native to Cyprus, the gateway between Mediterranean Asia, Europe, and Africa.
- she may originate in Syria or Assyria
- Herodotus wrote that the Phoenicians brought her to Cyrus from Ashkelon, now in Israel
Although Ancient Greece adored Aphrodite, they were uncomfortable with the typical Near-Eastern merger of sex, fertility, and war spirit all bundled up into the form of a beautiful woman. In order to incorporate her into the Olympic pantheon, the Greeks compartmentalized her, suppressing her warrior attributes. Aphrodite’s main function in Greece became love, romance, sex, and protection of Mariners. By the end of the Classical Era, many were uncomfortable with her raw sexuality, she was reenvisioned as Aphrodite Urania, Goddess of Heavenly love.
Aphrodite was, in fact, widely worshipped as a goddess of the sea and of seafaring; she was also honoured as a goddess of war, especially at Sparta, Thebes, Cyprus, and other places.
Aphrodite can raise and placate winds. Not only does she have power over people, animals, and plants, she has power over spirits, too, or at least most of the Greek pantheons. Exceptions are Artemis, Athena, and Hestia, who are immune to her powers. All the rest succumb to her appeal to Aphrodite for help. ( In relation to altars it’s suggested to keep Artemis and Athena separate from her.)
Be sure to fulfill all vows in a timely manner, she is not always patient. If she loves you and demonstrates favor. You will be expected to offer consistent attention and gifts. Aphrodite usually demonstrates anger via animal attacks or bad luck in love.
Powerful and tremendously generous goddess, may be petitioned for virtually anything. Sometimes called the oldest Fate, may have power over destiny and maybe be able to change fate.
Manifestions: commonly manifest as a mermaid or a blindingly beautiful woman who shines a light so bright she dazzles the eye. Roses bloom beneath her feet. She likes company and often travels with an entourage of spirits. She likely is accompanied by at least one of her sacred creatures. (Usually seen with a band of animals who typically wouldn’t get along together ) she can, if she chooses, manifest in any of their forms too.

✨Great Dionysia (end of February)
Dionysos was a son of Zeus and the princess Semele of Thebes. However before he was born of Semele he was originally first the child of Zeus and Persephone. Named Zagreus and designated him as his heir over all his other children. Jealous Titans kidnapped Zagreus, ripped him to pieces. And ate him, except his heart, which Athena rescued. Zeus brewed a love potion from Zagreus’ heart and fed it to Princess Semele. She conceived Dionysus but died before giving birth. Hera tricked Semele into asking Zeus to appear before her in his full glory. Bound by oath, the god was forced to comply and she was consumed by the heat of his lightning-bolts. Zeus recovered their unborn child from her body, sewed him up in his own thigh, and carried him to term.Zeus struck the Titans with lightning, and they were consumed by fire. From their ashes came the first humans, who thus possessed both the evil nature of the Titans and the divine nature of the gods. Due to the many attacks against him he was hidden away after his birth for his safety so he grew up in the wilderness of Thrace. Nursed by goats
After reaching maturity, Dionysus led a caravan through Egypt, the Levantine Coast, Asia and India, accompanied by a parade of Mby a troop of Satyrs,Maenads/Mainades (wild female devotees),and panthers. Wherever Dionysus traveled he taught people assorted agricultural and artisanal arts, especially viniculture, the creation of wine, and overcoming military opposition, when necessary. Dionysus is not a fighter and does not usually harm anyone directly. Instead, he strikes them temporarily insane so that they harm themselves, sometimes fatally.
Dionysus liberates from madness and also heals mental illness and addiction.
In addition to wine, Dionysus is associated with opium and mushrooms. His festivals featured nocturnal processions with music and masked, costume revelers. These processions may be understood as armies of spirits, animals, musicians and women exulting in their sexuality. Dionysus has dominion over theatrical and dance performances He has the power to inspire and to create ecstasy, and his cult had special importance for art and literature. He is the patron of actors. He was invoked before all performances and presided over drama competitions.
