Creeds, Coins, & Courts
March 1st, 2010
Here is a very cool little poem I found. I like it very much and have printed it out for my book of light.
In this pot, I stir to the sun
an’ follow the rule of harming none.
Banishment of bane when goin’ widdershins;
an’ with water and salt negativity is cleansed.
Household duties are more than chores.
Magic abounds when mopping floors.
With this broom, I do sweep
to clean my house and safely keep.
Marigold, Basil, Thyme, and Yarrow
my spell is cast for a better tomorrow.
Lemons for joy and apples for health
the pow’r within brings great wealth.
And, in this kitchen, I do pray
To truly walk the Witches’ Way.

I’m off to do some grocery shopping today. I spent yesterday getting household chores and schedules ready for this new month that’s upon us. I LOVE to organize. I usually organize the lists and schedules far better than I carry out the plans I set. This month will be different. I intend a different result and I will begin with different actions.
My first new plan of action is to only cook 2-3 times per week. I will make at LEAST 2 different meals per shot. One cooked meal, and one thrown together with leftovers. For example, cooking a whole roaster chicken and creating 2 chicken meals in a row using all the meat. The first meal being roasted chicken and the second being something making use of the already cooked chicken that can be thrown together with little to no cooking involved.
Today is the day I’d intended to put this plan into action, so while I’m doing very little during the v/c time, I’m going to hit the store with my list and collect the ingredients I’ll need to being said plan later this evening :)
My almanac says:
Libra favors cooperation, compromise, social activities, beautification of surroundings, balance, and partnership.
*Seven of Swords*
When I was shuffling in preparation of drawing a card for this cycle through Libra, I had in mind specifically what was coming for me on Wednesday morning. When I began typing this post, I realized that I am due in court on Wednesday morning while the beautiful Moon still rests in Libra, the sign of balance and justice! I took it as good sign and decided to ask the cards.
The seven of swords speaks of a shirking of one’s responsibilities. Of deception and theft. Of running away and cowardice.
I found this card a bit disconcerting because I am the plaintiff in this law suit. We are suing our ex-tenants for $3000 for abandoned bills and damages. I found myself wanting clarification, so I decided to draw again.
*Does this first card represent ME or HER?*
*Eight of Swords*
Victimization. Feeling powerless. Confusion. Not understanding what’s going on.
That is DEFINITELY her. She signed a lease and then in the face of thousands done in damage, in only THREE MONTHS TIME, turns to me incredulously and declares, “None of that is MY fault!”
So hoping for a little more clarity, I decided to draw one more card and just turn this into a 3 card spread. I’m getting the impression that this is going to go easily my way, but nothing wrong with triple checking! *wink*
*What will be the outcome for me in court Wednesday?*
*Three of Pentacles*
Yay! This one tells me that so long as I’ve planned and prepared and am ready, it’s in the bag. It can also speak to working together and contributing to a group, and I have to wonder if it’s a peek at who our Judge will be. I know that there’s a judge in the small claims court that is, himself, a landlord. I’ve also heard that he’s not lenient with people who destroy other people’s property.
What a great spread for me. I’m VERY happy with it!
Well, I plan to cook one large meal and throw together one small one. I plan to pick up my pictures (for court) while I’m out shopping today for the previously mentioned meals. While I’m gone, I intend to charge coins with expansion and abundance and leave them around the places I visit to share and spread the wonderful highness I’m experiencing today!!
Tomorrow I’m sure to be found collecting all my paperwork and organizing myself for my Wednesday date with Justice in Libra :)

Sending you good thoughts for court on Wednesday! Hope it goes well for you. I’m sure it will.
