Just wanted to wish everyone well in their celebrations of our Lady, however you choose to honor her.
Today, I ate a nice bowl of oatmeal and milk, and gave a little in honor of her. After that, I cleaned the apartment and also made my annual walk of the house and my annual renewal of my “charms”, as it were. This mainly consists of lighting a candle in every corner, at every window and door and at every threshold while saying a prayer for protection, and then I sprinkled salt water around saying another prayer for making our rooms into a safe and calm haven. Spring cleaning, even if there is still plenty of snow on the ground still.
I also lay out a brat last night for her blessing, and left it in the sun today just to get nice and energized. I also made a loaf of bread, did a little bit of creative writing and plan on enjoying a nice meal made with lots of butter and cream and cheese tonight. Yum!

I’ve been keeping for Brighid this weekend as well, and will continue through tomorrow which is the Gwyddon celebration of Brighid’s Fire.
I’ll post about it tomorrow or tuesday.
