Bon Dammes and a gift-a-away

I woke early this morning to a mist blanket. Deep mist that covered Woodford. Winters last hurrah, I thought. But the sun is starting to peek out through the mist and is promising another warm pre-spring day. The bees have started to buzz and the birds are starting their springtime antics.
This afternoon I have my artists way workshop - we are to take along something that represents our identity - I am taking the small white round stone that Daisy sent me - she found two on the beach in Cornwall and sent one to me so that we could have one each. I sure hope you don't get tired of hearing me speak of Daisy in my posts.. she was just such a big part of my life the past couple of years. I can't stop suddenly talking about her. The moon is in her waning phase now - so i settle down until the dark of the moon.... then off I go again. But it is getting easier now i can see a pattern and I am learning how to handle my emotions at these times...

Yesterday, I picked the faeries some flowers, placed them on my faery 'altar' and I asked the faeries for some guidance on where my life is going right now. I seem to be flitting from one belief to another, not settling - dabbling in one thing, then another..searching. Nothing new really. So I took myself off to a favourite hippy shop.. thinking of buying myself some little trinket.. while aimlessly looking at books, one fell off the shelf, dropping on my foot. SOUL Lessons and Soul Purpose - a channeled guide to why you are here by Sonia Choquette. Another self help book, just what i need. But I bought it. Not much more I could do, seeing it did drop from the shelf... maybe it is a sign from the faeries... funny thing is that the card i drew from my pack yesterday was 'watch for signs' - the faeries told me they would send me signs of coins, feathers and stones.. after I bought the book, I stepped outside to find a small coin at my feet....

according to my Goddess book, today is a summer holiday in the UK. Bon Dammes are devic goddesses in Brittany. They inspire playful, youthful outlooks to take with us into our day with childlike wonder in our hearts.
* Go outside and play with the Bon Dammes. Leave them gifts of sparkling stones & honey under any flower or tree that makes you smile. in return the Bon Dammes will make sure your day is filled with pleasurable surprises. Recapture the moment of your childhood today - play tag with the wind, blow dandelions for faery wishes come true, climb a tree, go for a swing, pick buttercups or whatever inspires youthfulness in your heart.

*and to celebrate this day I have a little gift-a-way - a package full of faery magick..just let me know if you are wanting to have a chance of some magick in your life & will put you into my magick hat - in one week, i will pull one name out and the birdies will be one their way to the winner with a gift held tightly in their beaks !


*~* I hope your day is filled with butterflies, magick, colour & fripperies! ~*~

I never tire of you speaking of Daisy. Why would anyone? She is a part of YOU and anyone who wants to KNOW you needs to know all of you.

I think it was definately a sign and I don't think it is JUST another self help book.

Add my name to the hat. I could use some faerie magick!

You have a lot of magic around you Miss R. speak from your heart, no matter what that little inner voice is telling you, give NO mind to those that don't want to hear about Ms daisey, give sorrow words give her a voice through you. You and her were connected and that is something to be heard.
i want some magic LOL pweaaaaaaaseeeeeee we never did do our swap, what is wrong with us.

Speak away of dear Daisy, Robyn. I don't mind it one bit!

I'd love a touch of faery magick! :)

Rowan said...

I never tire of reading about Daisy - hope you enjoy your class. I'd love to hear more about it if you'd be willing to share.
The Gilbert Williams image is just beautiful, I found a site with lots more of his work and it is all lovely.

Laura Stamps said...

Hi, Robyn...what a wonderful post today! The faeries are surely clustering near you today. Yes, put my name in your faery hat for a faery magick package. What fun! Sending much love to you today and plenty of lovely pink faery dust....~*.~*.~*.~*.~*.!!!

Dearest Robyn,
Signs and symbols are always there...wish I knew more about them.... sending my love.
xxxx

Naturegirl said...

Robin of course I would love some of your ~magick!~

I love the forget-me-nots that you placed near your fairies! When you find a coin at your feet this is a *symbol of the blessings* in your life!! I have a small wooden box where natureboy and I place all our symbols of our blessings we have stumbled upon!!

Daisy will be forever in your heart so remember her as often as you want.Her spirit comes by my secret
garden often! She loved the photos
I shared of this place.

Feathers that I find in the garden I like to think an angel stopped by and left me a little something! hugs NG

Tinker said...

Sorry I'm so behind on everything - electricity's been spotty, and I'm glad to start catching up with everyone again.

I could never tire of reading of your references to Daisy. You keep her alive in our hearts and truth be told, your talk of her is your way of going through your grief as well.

I did the Artist's Way years ago and got so much out of it. Going down unexpected paths now but I'm sure Julie Cameron would have quite a lot to say about that. I was alone on my journey. How lucky for you that you have a group you can meet with.

Hugs,
Annie

It feel a little bit like fall here. I know by the calender here it is still summer.
It not so blasted hot here.

I recall when I was a wee one. I would ask daisy flowers question and I would pick off the petals til I got my answer.

Laurie said...

I think blogging about Daisy is one of the best things you can do for yourself, as well as being a lovely tribute to Daisy.
Your faery altar is delightful ~
