Something New For You: Full Moon of September

The Harvest Moon of September, 2014

Something New for You! Because I love sharing all kinds of juicy information with you, I am adding this new bonus feature to your WINGS subscription! If you remember from the way back, long-ago days of my newsletter, I used to feature a "Networking Spotlight," in which I would highlight all kinds of events, practitioners, and even the occasional book review. I miss those days, but I also know that I just cannot pile one more thing into my "regular" WINGS newsletter. So, voila! On the Full Moon each month (more or less), look for a brief update that will highlight lots of cool people, stuff, and opportunities to enhance your beautiful brilliance! This is, of course, a true labor of love. But I am passionate about helping you connect with the many creative people and resources that can spark and support your journey. So, I hope you'll soon be looking forward to these newsy updates each Full Moon! May Lady Luna brighten your path! Blessings, Coming THIS WEEK!  Registration is still open and seats are available for this weekend's (Sept. 13-14) Elemental Magic workshop with the one and only RJ Stewart and Anastacia Nutt. RJ Stewart is a living treasure and a world authority on Western esoteric traditions, Celtic myth and spiritual practices, the Arthurian legends, and the non-human intelligences with whom we share our planet. He has written over 40 books and is also a gifted musician. His partner, Anastacia, is an beloved leader, Priestess, and author, and is also a talented musician, storyteller, and guide. People fly in from all over the world when RJ and Anastacia come here to teach, and this workshop in particular promises to be very special.  It features new material they have not offered before and, yes -- it is open to beginners. Pre-registration is required via PayPal, and there are only a few days left, so don't wait. Details can be found on our locally managed Facebook page, or else on RJ's own website.

The Tarot Boutique is back! The Tarot Boutique is the name I give to my exclusive, specialty Tarot classes. They are carefully crafted, intimate workshops designed to bring new depth and sparkle to your Tarot practice. Enrollment is now open for Tarot Spellwork and Magick October 25, Laurel Hill Cottage, 1-5pm We usually consider the Tarot to be a beautiful methodology of inspiration, meditation, and divination, and mostly leave it at that. But it can also be a powerful tool for magick and manifestation. Join us during this most enchanted time of year as we explore some of the basic principles of magick, spell crafting, and how the Tarot can be your "secret sauce" for amplifying and deepening your skills.  Please be advised, this is not for beginners or inexperienced practitioners. And stay tuned because in just two weeks, registration will open for the workshop so many of y'all have been asking for:  A Tarot Herbal Harvest November 22, Laurel Hill Cottage, 1-5pm Have You Heard a Call from the Green Realms? Are You Fascinated by the Enchantment of the Tarot? Would you love to spend a fun afternoon crafting magical holiday gifts for your loved ones?

Tell her Beth sent you! Owl's Life Hacks From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Life hacking refers to any trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life... in other words, anything that solves an everyday problem in an inspired, ingenious manner. Since On Moonlit Wings highlights creativity and miscellaneous information to make life easier, more interesting, or to save time, I'll be featuring "Life Hacks" with fun or practical tips for you. In the spirit of heavy seriousness, let's kick things off with three ways to use empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls: 1) A quick, homemade speaker for your smart phone. Just add thumbtacks for stability. 2) A way to store your cords, keeping them neatly sorted and untangled. 3) Last but not least, you can use your empty rolls to keep your wrapping papers organized. Just cut a slit through them to make a cuff, and slip it around the paper. (Works better than a rubber band, in my experience, which can tear or wrinkle the paper). You're welcome!  That's it for now! I hope you've enjoyed my new feature. If you there is something you'd especially like to see, or other suggestions you'd like to make, please drop me a line. And may your Full Harvest Moon be most magical!   Live in balance. Focus your creativity. Manifest your vision. Predict your future by creating it.
