the Gypsy Caravan and other magickal things

this afternoon, dutch husband and myself are off to the Gypsy caravan for a long weekend. Once again, I cannot wait.. I am like a child looking forward to Christmas... I want to sit beside the water with dutch husband, enjoying early morning breakfast. I want to snuggle while watching movies and eating popcorn... and this time I plan on taking a long walk along the beach, gathering flotsam and jetsom. I want to make myself a pentagram from my gatherings, to hang on the door of the beach house (otherwise boringly known as the annexe) connected to the van. I want to weave vines, driftwood and shells whispering a magickal chant as I weave.. weaving blessings and love into that wreath.. adding my energies as I chant......I also want to paint some cement pots to put in the little brick courtyard (otherwise boringly known as 'paved area outside door')... in these cement pots, I will plant bright geraniums...

because you see, on the New Moon I discovered that Geranium is my totem flower or one of my plant allies.. as I sat in my garden, the geranium spoke to me... not in human voice but in my soul. When I touched it, my hands tingled, I felt an exchange of energy.. and it was then I realised that my great grandmother Laura from Cornwall.. had guided me to that plant. I think come this Full Moon, when I do the Earth Healing ritual, I will also make a flower essence from the geranium.. because: The faeries and elves of this flower awaken a sense of happiness and stir the heart chakra. In most geranium beds will be found an elf who oversees the entire area. The faeries of this flower strengthen and vitalize the aura. They can also show you where you may be missing opportunities for happiness.
