Sunday ~ our first day of the week

being that this is the first day of a new week, a new year, i thought i would share a reference i use when time is constrained and i am quickly on the move..."7 days of magic by ellen dugan"...she is among one of my favorite writers...she creates a journey through imaginary play that invites us to walk along...her writings are simple & quick...quite helpful too... being a mama sometimes leaves me with days that seem to pass by all to quickly and if nothing else i use these little charts as a reminder to greet & work throughout the day in a special sort of way...and for those in the closet...no one will ever no that the color or crystals you have chosen to wear...the plants & herbs your hands are touching or the foods your are making are igniting magic in some sort of way...empowering you throughout your day.

The names of these three were also the common Greek words for sun, moon and dawn

Brigid...In Irish mythology, Brigit or Brighid ("exalted one") was the daughter of the Dagda and one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. She was the wife of Bres of the Fomorians, with whom she had a son, Ruadán. She had two sisters, also named Brighid, and is considered a classic Celtic Triple Goddess.
