Winner!

Thanks to all who threw their names & favorite Major Arcana in the ring. Always interesting to hear who favors what card. I am a fan of The Magician, especially in the Paulina deck:

But enough about me, let's get to Renee of the Fae, the winner! On her blog, The Woman I Want to Be, she has been chronicling her dream journeys after dousing herself with mugwort tea. Go have a look, and R of the F, please let me know your mailing address.

Congratulations to Renee of the Fae from The Wizardess

Post #201: A Tarot Give-Away!

Been cleaning & organizing, and some of my stuff needs liberating! Please comment below to enter in the give-away, including a way to contact you if you don't have a public Blogger profile or blog. The stuff:

Tarot of the Vampires Deck & Phantasmagoria by Ian Daniels

Tall Dark Stranger: Tarot for Love & Romance by Corrine Kenner

Both are in excellent condition, and have some truly terrific bits, but I'm feeling a great loyalty to my Paulina decks & I just don't use them anymore!  (To be clear, the Vampire is deck + book, the Tall Dark Stranger is just the book. As far as I know, there's no particular deck associated with it. Kenner interprets via the classic Rider-Waite images.) To enter, leave a comment below telling me your favorite Major Arcana card.  I will draw the winner on Friday, January 20th, so commence commenting!

The random number generator has selected Danni of The Whimsical Cottage as the new give-away winner! Yay! (Channeling Kermit the Frog, head back, arms up). Danni, please send me your mailing address and Good Yule!

Cheers from The Wizardess

Tis the season to give stuff away...

That nice give-away from Pagan Soccer Mom below ends tomorrow. Get in on it! Also, long, long ago, there was a Practical Magic Blog Party. And it was fun. And I tried to give Aunt Jet's Lavender Oil away. However, the lovely Leaf Ballard, my winner, left no contact information. So I'm going to select again, sometime tomorrow,  from the commenters on that post: here tis.

I'll also throw in a little Yule surprise, since it's taken me so long to get to this. As I clean up for Yule, and get set for baby kitties to come, I'm finding nice things that seem to want to leave me, so look for more giving in the immediate future!

Cheers from The Wizardess

The Real Practical Magic Blog Party Post: with Give-Away!

"Of all the Owens women, Jet Owens was the most beautiful, and she never even noticed. She preferred cats to human beings and turned down every offer from the men who fell in love with her. The only one she ever cared for was that boy who was hit by lightning when he and his brother went tearing off across the town green to prove how brave and daring they were. Sometimes, late at night, Jet and Frances both hear the sound of those boys laughing as they run through the rain, then stumble into the darkness. Their voices are still young and filled with expectation, exactly as they sounded at the moment they were struck down."

The give-away: 15 milliliters of Aunt Jet's Lavender Oil! This is my mix of several types of lavender essential oil, sweet almond oil, and food-grade lavender blossoms. Wear it as perfume, anoint cuts with it for better healing, dress candles for love and protection with it. Or come up with your own practical & magical use!

To enter the give-away, leave me a comment telling which PM quote I have posted was/is your favorite: Gillian broke hearts, The aunts tell you to look, What to do in August, or Aunt Jet the Beautiful.

I'll select the winner on October 1st! I have visited a few lovely posts, and I'm looking forward to wending my way through many more. I hope you always remember to plant roses & lavender for luck. And fall in love whenever you can.
