COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Just in case anyone is wondering, no the keyboard isn’t fixed. I am using an external one. So I reach over every once in a while and hit the 2 key.
I had high hopes for getting a lot done on the web when I lost internet service. The poor gal really worked with me but we couldn’t get it to sync up. She said she would keep trying and about 4 hours later, it came up! She is getting a really good review when I get the survey email. It’s nice to get genuine American help in TN.
I have been so tired today all I managed to get done was two loads of towels, one for me and one for the cats. Yes, they have their own towels. If I don’t give them towels, they take mine. Some times they take mine anyway. I am being blackmailed by the entire animal kingdom.
I sure most of you have read or more likely heard the news. Folks, when I worked in psychiatry the first rule that was never broken was: report all threats. You alerted family members if threats were being made against them. You took them seriously. It didn’t matter who made them. You took them seriously.
Several months ago I was watching a mother on TV fingering her cross and claiming with total certainty that her son loved her. My first thought was, it’s true, Christianity makes you stupid. This is not the time for faith, it is the time for action. Let me give you some background. The kid convinced another boy to kill his mother with a knife after the son lured her outside to the proper spot as an initiation into a club of ONE! The only thing that saved her was the knife broke in her collar bone. He was upset over changing schools. Anyone who can convince another person to kill someone as an initiation to club containing one member (himself) is a dangerous psychopath. He has no concept of the word love. This is not when you turn the other cheek and particularly your back. This is when you look for a place to lock him up because he is just going to get more clever as he gets older and he is pretty darned clever right now. You don’t convince siblings to drop domestic violence complaints against your troubled little boy or some day, you have a lot of people dead. You have a responsibility to protect your normal children from the dangerous one. People do not improve being allowed to continue to bully others. No, you can’t handle it. You can’t fix it. You aren’t qualified. Yes, you should love your children but you should also know sometimes, they are defective and can’t be fixed. When that happens, all you can do is minimize the potential damage.
I remember one patient saying to me that mental illness is like having a monster following you around. You have good days and bad days but no matter how good the good days, you can never let your guard down for a moment or the monster wins. Patients knew one thing, they could always count on me to be fair even when I was recommending their little tushes get locked up. However, insanity is just that. A person has no concept of how their behavior affects another person. Everyone else’s behavior affects them, but what they do just doesn’t exist in their mind. There is no empathy with other people. Other people do not feel, only they have feelings. Only they hurt. The slightest affront or suspected affront is blown completely out of proportion very often with violent reactions.
I remember a patient totally destroying an office and threatening the workers who locked themselves in a closet scared to death. One hour later, this person was sitting in a chair in my office sobbing hysterically because these people would not return their calls. I very gently asked if it was possible they were refusing to answer the phone because he had just destroyed their office and tried to kill them. I will never forget the totally blank look I got as answer and then a very quiet, “no”. He could not conceive that his actions had caused this to happen. It wasn’t: I’m such a wonderful person I should be forgiven for beating you. It was: Why would my beating you make you not want to associate with me? What had set him off? He didn’t even know. He thought it was the way the receptionist asked for his name.
You are not going to fix, retrain, illuminate or in anyway alter this person. They are permanently damaged. I had my office arranged so that I could reach the door first and I had a desk and equipment tray between me and them. That is called survival. I had no illusion that after 10 years of working with this person, and several others, that they could turn on me in an instant and try to kill me for no reason. However, thanks to Reagan, we could not lock them up for more than 48 hours then, 24 now, involuntarily commit them without them committing a crime or force them to take their medication. Oh, and just to let you know how serious this was, this person was stalking the chief of police. We knew that if the Chief of Police ever made a move that he didn’t agree with, he would try to kill him. There was nothing we could do. Yes, people have rights but in Washington several police officers are dead, a man with a history of violence is on the run and you can’t help but wonder, why? Have we completely lost sight not of what is right and wrong but of what is safe and what is dangerous?
Let me give you a couple of pointers. If you have someone who attacks you in any way and then acts like there is no reason you shouldn’t be welcoming them with open arms, you might want to take quite a few steps back. If you have someone whose main occupation is apologizing for what they have done, you really want to take a few steps back. Normal people learn from their behavioral mistakes and don’t keep repeating them. Normal people don’t attack other people. Normal people have empathy for other people and animals. When that is absent, you might want to run and lock the door because you definitely aren’t going to get any help when things go horribly wrong. The law is on their side. While you are turning the other cheek, keep turning and run! To forgive may be divine and it may also be the last thing you ever do. I have made my share of mistakes, but once I see the warning signs, this lady is no longer associating with that person. Remember most murders are committed by people who are either related to the victim or know them personally. Be careful out there. I can’t afford to lose readers! Anyway, Napoleon wants his own Facebook page. He needs more fans.
That brings me to the latest Flame installment. She now sits on the electric water fountain, stands up and tries to taste test everything I am preparing for meals. Unfortunately, there is no other good place for the fountain. Much to my dismay, I have discovered she likes cheddar cheese.

Forecast and Faery Finder for 11/30/09

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit


According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is lavender and the incense is hyssop. Although hyssop is used as a cleansing herb and many people think if they bath in it, it will wash away all the nasty things they did to people and for people, I suggest they read the actual reference for its use. That’s not what it said……


FORECASTS:

Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Five of Wands: contention. Trying to defend your point of view pushes you to the limit! Once the shock and sadness wears off, you know who is on your side and can move on.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
For a couple of days what you think is a joke causes hurt feelings so reign in your sense of humor and watch what you say.
Egos and possessiveness clash and things can escalate this morning. Be careful on the highway. Road rage is rampant. The day really doesn’t end with any money made. Evening starts off on a bad foot and you reap what you sow. Old hurts come back to haunt you and the things people say are thoughtless but they do reflect what they really think. And then the argument begins…..By bedtime, you won’t know who is where or why so just go to bed.

Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
Contacting your higher consciousness is hard today but it is the only place you will get straight answers.

Today’s Cat Comfort Card is:
Catacomb: “Look deep inside. Take time to meditate or journey within.”

Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
The Glanconer pays us a visit on the perfect day. Smoothe Harry is the master of illusion and delusion. He is so very good at what psychologist call projection. That is where you project you feelings onto another person and think they are their feelings. 99% of the time, you couldn’t be more wrong. Lust is his currency and he can make anything we lust for look so much more inviting. Be careful today…..

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 9 and the Element is Earth. The Rooster (George)n finds conflict today but the Dragon and Snake have ease. Today is an auspicious day for hair cuts but not for writing, gambling or births.

Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I forgive totally and freely. I let go of any resentment or guilt. I am free and I let everyone around me be free. Peace now reigns within me and around me. I trust the great wisdom of the Universe and the present situation of my life is divinely healed for everyone’s good.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

The cat’s turkey induced coma ended with Purdy von Sweets running down the hallway and doing a one meter high back flip! And then the fun began. I think I had better cook another turkey while I still have a house in a couple of pieces.
It has been a hard weekend even though nothing really got done. I am sensitive to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Last night my legs totally cramped from the knees down. I managed to make it out and find two ibuprophen when I decided it was the perfect time to check out earthquakes on the government site. My legs cramping up corresponded perfectly to two quakes, one in Mexico and the other in CA. Then I saw why I have been unable to sleep all weekend. It has been another busy weekend for Gaia! Then my inner thighs cramped up and I just decided to lay there and suffer until the earth decided to give it a rest. When I did get to sleep, I had migraines and nightmares.
That brings me to a prophetic dream. If you have a wrought iron gate and a black and white cat that waits for you just in front of it, bring her inside. Some nasty people intend to really hurt her. That’s why all my cats are inside where I can protect them. They do not miss the outside. In fact, Conner runs the other way if the door opens. He is not going back to foraging for a living. No sir, he wants the endless kibble feeder, electric water fountain, clean kitty pan and soft, warm bed.
Napoleon seconds that. His sister was killed by a dog outside when he was just a little kitten. The only other time he ever went outside, he met the nice doctor who gave him really good drugs and he woke up without balls. Yup, he is not going back outside! He is also why the forecast takes so long to write. I have to scratch the black spot on his chin, trace his mustache, scratch the secret whisker spot and stroke him all over. That takes time.
I will only be doing one event until probably spring. This is the link to it, but I have to delete it for the Keen readers because someone will instantly turn me in if I publish it: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/event.php?eid=183664117396&ref=nf
I’m sorry they are so insecure about their abilities they have to scout every page trying to find ways to get other psychics thrown off the site and I really wish I were making the kind of money they seem to think I am taking away from them. Now the sad thing is: people who experience an in person reading at a fair or shop are more likely to use a phone service than people who have never had a reading because the phone line is there twenty four/seven. Need any more ammo for that gun you are shooting yourself in the foot with?
However, for the rest of you, it is December 5th, in a nice bank building, with raffles, free food for the admittance price, shopping opportunities, reiki and readers. I will be there doing readings and George will have the sales table, but there will be no jewelry on our sales table. There were too many jewelry vendors. There will be ceramics, incense, oils, and some specialty items. We have some nice packs of incense that will make great gifts including a Feng Shui kit. Then you can get a burner. I was going to have a lot more, but it seems I run the only store on the web that only lists items I actually have in stock. Yes, when you order from me, unless someone lifted it, I have it. I don’t drop ship, use other vendors making it look like I am stocking the item or put anything on the web page until it is in my hot little hands. Why? Because I get as frustrated as you do when my wholesale order arrives and I have half an order with a lot of future shipping dates for the rest of the stuff. You want it now and so do I! One item I hope to get packed is a pair of high heeled witches’ shoes that fit a 8.5 to 9. They sell with a red lining on one of the sites for 60.00 and they will be way less than that without the red lining if you can wear them. I bought them and then had to get a larger size to fit me and I do wear a 9. They are small.
However, I have to tell you this story because it is weird, even for me. A gal ordered some Anna Riva incense. I had just taken it to a show and the boxes were still in the van. I went through every box. These are large, clear plastic boxes! I could not find a single stick. She reordered and I went through the boxes again removing everything in them: no incense. I went to another show with the same boxes: no incense. Then about two months later I decided to unpack one of the boxes and put the products out on display. These boxes stay together in a stack so I can load them quickly into Vanwitch for a show. No boxes crawl over and join the stack. This box had ceramics in it and I had even sold ceramics out of the box. I opened it and there, right on top was the Anna Riva incense. There is no possible way that incense was in that box for two months, no way it could have gotten into the box and there it sat! I blame the Fae. I wonder what normal people do when this happens to them…
I am reading Tempted by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast, A House of Night Novel. It is as good as the rest in the series, so get it.
Every year the Christmas fight starts. Keep the Christ in Christmas. Boycott merchants that use Happy Holidays. Shoot the people who mention any holiday other than Christmas. You would think they owned December. You can’t help wonder how this got to called the season of peace and goodwill toward men when the knockdown drag out fights start.
I happen to live in a very culturally diverse area. I stick to Happy Holidays because I don’t stand a chance of remembering who is celebrating what, when. I don’t question when the colored lights appear across the street in odd months because they are Hindi. I just smile and wish them a happy holiday and really hope it is a holiday. Then there are Menorahs, a couple of Kwanza’s, some pagans, at least one Muslim, and Goddess knows what else. Then there is the problem of which holiday because it is now in their native language and I only speak 3 languages! Happy Holidays is the only safe bet around here. And with that I say, peace on earth and goodwill toward all life forms. Have a nice holiday or don‘t. Just leave me alone. I celebrate Yule, the solstice and Catmas. Send catnip and salmon. Oh, and we want the music to Greensleeves back…..

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

How I wish if people have to run and light their fireplaces at the first hint of cool weather, they would not burn the cheap pine they found in the backyard. My eyes are close to swollen shut, my head is stopped up and I am getting an award for miserable. I am allergic pine! When I lived up north, pine was the one wood no one ever burned in a fire place. It burned too dirty. And that by the way, not religious reasons, is why there is no Catmas tree in the house. I do not wish to suffer all season with horrible allergies and I love the smell of pine!
The cats have almost recovered from their turkey coma, that is, until George gave them more. Napoleon is passed out beside me and Josephina is at my feet. I wish I could sleep like a cat rather than a raging insomniac.
I do not have my strength back from this 4 months of surgery and recovery. I can barely get one thing per day done. Today I managed two things. Tomorrow, maybe more, but I am not counting on it. Inch by inch is my new motto.
I had couple of slices of chicken alfredo pizza with the thin crust, a huge salad and my special garlic bread. I buy the little sun dried tomato rolls at Target, slice them and slather on margarine with smashed garlic in it. Toast in the over and they are delicious.

Forecast and Faery Finder

According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is indigo and the incense is sandalwood.



FORECASTS:

Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Three of Swords: desolation. If you are feeling dejected, maybe it is time to seek out the areas of your life that are unsatisfactory and do something about them. Find the root cause of your fears and they will vanish. Allow sorrow to enter your heart and through it you will begin to build a new foundation for relationships.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
For over a month, monetary rewards are not forthcoming, but those who had ill gotten gains will find them stripped away rather violently. They will be their own downfall.
The morning starts with really high energy and loads of projects on the front burner. There is laughing and playful jesting as the work goes easier and faster than it has for months. If you have been good, Santa may reward you nicely around noon. Lessons learned are easily used in the afternoon and sting is taken out of them. It is an excellent evening for psychic and spiritual pursuits, but don’t let negativity or sex get involved or the mood will degenerate fast. Watch what you say at social events. People are listening.

Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
Do something today to enhance your beauty or the beauty of the world around you.

Kitten: “Find the joy in simple things. Concentrate on having fun.”

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 2 and the Element is Fire. The sheep finds conflict today but the Monkey has ease. Today is not an auspicious day for haircuts, writing or construction.

Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I stop now and I quiet all inner agitation. I peacefully and calmly take the time to appreciate the beauty of everything around me as well as the beauty of my Soul. I listen to nature’s messages and to the music of the Universe. In this peaceful state, my higher self guides me gently toward the fulfillment of my destiny.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Cold weather does nothing good for my joints, though the cats tried hard to cover me in warm, vibrating bodies. I am in my long sleeved green night shirt with the Lady Jayne cat in a Scottish plaid bed embroidered on it. Now I need some socks. Okay, it’s only dipping into the 40’s, but we Floridians have thin blood.
I did venture out into Black Friday: Costco, Home Depot and BJ’s. I hope some other merchants had crowds! Home Depot had become a necessity because the kitchen gadget drawer finally broke and we needed a piece to fix it. They are over 35 years old…so I guess they are entitled to break.
We interrupt this commentary to bring you a special message:
Hi! I am Flame, the Microwit. I do not say much and I not speak hooman that good, but I has to tell you about yesterdee. I just woked up me self. The Momma told us all week about the big bird she had and I saw a little bit of it before it went in the hot box. It was humongous. I could sleep in the dat bird. The Momma boiled us the neck and it was as long as I am. My brudder, Mr. B. carried the biggest piece off and tried to eat it. Much later when our tummies were growling, Not the Momma, took it out of the hot box and started cutting. That is good because the Momma will give us bones. The Momma gave us a whole leg. It was bigger than me. I never seen a leg that big. We ate and ate. The Momma came back and took the bird out again and broke it up. We gots lots more. We complained when she put a bag full in the cold place for today, but we hads so much, our tummies were about to burst. Napoleon said he used to hunt birds when he was a little baby. I never seen a real bird. Napoleon said he could take this bird down. I thinks if he sawed this bird when it was live, he would not make it to the kitty pan in time! I was so full I went and laid on the Momma’s bed. Napoleon tried to chase me off and just laid down and went to sleep. We all sleeped all night and all day. Then the hoomans left and came back with two birds! There two big birds in the cold box and the Momma says they is all ours. We had bird for dinner again. Them bones was so big not even Prescious could bite through them. The Momma threw them to the possum. Maybe she threw them at the possum. It do like to knock the garbage can over and make the Momma mad.
The Costco coupons were expiring and Vanwitch needed a full tank of gas for next weekend when I will be at Halley’s event in Boca Raton doing readings and selling things. Then we moved on to BJ’s as paper towels were on sale. Turned out the BJ’s brand was cheaper even after the coupon was applied to the Bounty price. I also needed tissue. I swear I am buying stock in Puffs some day. On the way out, our friend who was injured by that low life slug running out with two computers, told us that turkeys were on sale for 39 cents a pound. That was 10 cents cheaper than Costco, so I sent George back and he returned with two small turkeys for about 7 bucks. You can’t buy cat food that cheap. To my credit, I actually got both of them in fridge to the cheers of an appreciative feline audience. Then they finished off yesterday’s other leg and wing. That’s odd..this commentary looks a lot longer than three paragraphs…….
This is Boogaboo. Forgive my sister. She fell off the chair and hurt her leg when she was little. The Momma freed her little leg before it broke even though Flame bit her good. Flame never recovered and blamed the Momma even though the truth is; she’s clumsy. She didn’t come out and learn good human like the rest of us. I could have taken that bird down. I am Boogaboo. Fear me!

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

George found an old keyboard at the shop and brought it home so I would have my missing 2 and some letters that were sticking. There is something about a keyboard in your lap that is amazingly attractive to all cats.
The turkey is cooked and eaten. It wasn’t my best as I tried to be ecologically sound and not buy the cooking bag. Instead I got the recycled tin foil. I’m going back to the bag if I ever do this again. Considering I threw both my back and shoulder out and suffered numerous burns, my insurance company may ban me from turkey cooking.
However, the turkey was a big hit with the cats. One leg was all it really took as they had the neck earlier. I had to strip the leg but some of the meat just doesn’t come off. Naturally, Fiona the bitty one was dragging a piece of meat off that was almost as big as she is. I saw Mr. B carrying the largest piece of the neck. Rusty J Hoover was going to fight all comers for the entire plate of turkey. I had to isolate him with a piece. Fortunately it didn’t turn into a free for all. I still have to break the turkey down completely and decide what species gets what inside and out. I know I have a possum who would like a taste.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER


I can’t believe I am about to cook a thanksgiving dinner. I must have lost my mind. I even went out and bought a pumpkin pie, and fresh celery for the stuffing. I am certain I have lost my mind. I have to get up early and put that turkey in the oven. Oh well, the house will smell really, really good.
I spent the morning without any electricity. It started raining and went dark. I didn’t get power back until noon and thus, I am running late on everything computer. I really hope that doesn’t happen tomorrow because it is scheduled to rain all morning.
I have to say this. I just saw a commercial on TV by another of these fringe groups claiming to be a genuine political group representing seniors with credibility. They are neither. No one, absolutely no one, has suggested in any shape form or fashion that Medicare funding be cut to finance the new health care renovations and plans. Medicare is not even in the discussion. I really, really hope there is a really special reward for people who scare and prey on the elderly like this.

Forecast for 11/twenty five/09

11-25-09
Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit

Keen Readers: The Keen Blog is not compatible with the latest version Explorer which I have to have for several other locations, so I cannot format the blog. All the sentences are going to run together until someone in the programming department gets enough complaints to figure out they have to do something. I have even tried formatting it in HTML and nothing happens.


According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is topaz and the incense is lilac.



FORECASTS:

Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Nine of Cups: satiety. Heavy partying is not going to solve your problems and neither will denial. Destiny does play a role and it is alright to go with the flow as long as you aren’t compromising your life’s mission.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
There is not much going on today. Late in the afternoon, playful arguments can turn into something more serious if you aren’t careful. Ego energies create hurt feelings.
For the next week, there are hidden agendas that surprise at social events and they will be happy surprises. Drink slowly and chew…you don’t want to accidentally swallow an expensive piece of jewelry!

Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
Honoring your true feeling is hard today. Gee, the relative arrived early, did they?

Today’s Cat Comfort Card is:
Moon Cat: “Enjoy the ebb and flow of your emotions. It’s who you are.”

Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
Spirit Dancer is about today. Be inspired, dance, create and decorate! Life is too short to be trapped in ugly places.

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 5 and the Element is wood. The Dragon finds conflict but the Ox and Tiger have ease. Today is an auspicious day for haircuts, medical procedures, writing and gambling but not for births.

Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I need not worry about difficulties as I realize that they are opportunities for me to grow in love and wisdom. I accept what is. I follow my intuition and I step into action without delay. Wonderful an unexpected solutions appear to me, and I bring my personal contribution to the world with enthusiasm and joy.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Never attempt to use your mouse when the cat is sitting on your mouse pad and you have margarine on your fingers. All you will get is a finger licking. Napoleon has expanded his palate to include all flavors of yogurt. Today he ate the dreaded strawberry and then the citrus flavor. Our morning ritual is me finishing the little cup of Activia and then holding it so he can lick it out. He can’t get his head in it or his tongue to the bottom, but he does one bang up job on the sides. I think it is a modified nursing for him as he seems to regress to kitten hood when he does it.
I can not believe how fast this month has flown by but then again, the first week was ruined by a trip to the operating room. That always spoils your week. I know the doctor said to let the tape fall off naturally, but it is showing no signs of falling off my face! The corners aren’t even loose. I think he used too much glue. One of these days, I will be rid of all bandages and then I shall do the happy dance.
I should have the void of course calendar up on the web page by end of tomorrow and the event I will doing on the 5th. It is your one chance to get that discounted reading before next year and probably the only day I’ll be working until Yule vacation rolls around. Keen folks, I will get the email reading up for your shortly. I am just starting to feel my old self. I had a headache for 5 days after I got over the non-flu of three days. This has been my first day without a headache.
I celebrated by going to Target. They have reduced and are closing out smoky horseradish sauce. You really want to get a bottle. It is delicious on roast beef and probably a host of other things I haven’t put it on yet. Their walnut/cranberry bread is wonderful. I got the last of the fixings for T Day dinner except for the onion and celery for the stuffing. Stove Top makes a good stuffing but for special days, I like a few additions like some cooked onions, extra sage and celery. I might even add some fresh mushrooms. I also got a little shallow bar pan to make individual cake bars for my dessert every night. I really want that brownie pan that make individual brownies, so I guess a foray to CVS is on the agenda tomorrow to see if they have one left. I love the crust on the brownie. You can pretty much keep the rest. Heck, I’ve been known to burn them to get the crust.
Fiona arrived in the bedroom this morning and I had the loving of my life. She purred, she rolled and she looked up with those little eyes of hers. That Microwit can talk you out of anything she is so cute. I was worried she didn’t seem to be growing but I think she is just going to be a little cat. Purdy von Sweets is not very big either but she is heavy and clumsy. Between her and Josephina not much stays put in the house.
It is my opinion that since the two key was removed from my laptop, the universe has conspired to put as many twos as possible into everything I have to type. .

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

I bought a turkey. Yes, I who swore not to, bought a turkey because those sad eyed cats totally suckered me in. Now it sits in the fridge waiting for Thursday when they will enjoy huge wings and so forth. I have to make certain I introduce the older ones slower. I don’t want them having heart failure when they see that huge leg waiting for them.
I keep saying I hope this is allergies. I have had a headache for four days now and my sinuses are totally stopped up now. My eyes are even swollen. Much of it is due to someone having a wood fire that absolutely gags a gnat. I think the tree place across the street is burning what they aren’t selling. Evergreen cut trees and it isn’t even Turkey yet. How do people expect them to remain fresh? I am allergic to pine trees.
I do love Facebook. Singer Sewing Machines has a page and I joined their fan club. I have not been able to use my super expensive embroidery machine since my laptop with Windows 98 died on me. The software is not compatible with XP. I mentioned it in a comment and within 5 minutes, a salesperson got back to me and I had the site to download an upgrade with an hour! Now that is customer service! Soon there will be pentagrams, Celtic knots and other things since will allow me to scan and embroidery anything. Yes, all I need is to clear a space and pretty things will happen.
Which reminds me of yesterday’s Faery visit. She had been bugging me all night before so I wasn’t surprised when she showed up in the cards. I received the most detailed instructions for creating a display I have ever had drop into my mind and when I still balked, I got instructions on how to use the fabric scraps for the project. Well, I guess I will be building the display or never have a moment of peace again.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Boogaboo is definitely in training with Napoleon. Napoleon has taught him to fear no whooshing sounds I might make to keep him out of my bedroom. He has taught him the back flip where I think he is headed away from the door and he back flips into the room. He has taught him to hide behind things. Worst of all, he has taught him to lay on my lap and soak up pets like love sponge.
Well, the kitwits and Microwits learned a new energy saving trick on the hottest day of November. They learned how to turn off the power strip the air conditioner is on. And thus, I sweat and wait for the room to cool down.
I just opened some sheets I bought and they had enough sizing in them to gag a gnat. No one could sleep on those things without washing them so why put it in them? It’s not like they are looking good on a hanger.
I wound up balancing my plate in one hand and trying to toss Fiona out the door with other hand. That little girl does not give up. She just keeps coming at you. Who thought a cat would want stir fry chicken that much? Then she stuck her nose in my glass of seltzer with lemon. The nose exited that glass fast!
I think it is the new Bed Bath and Beyond ad but I could be wrong that is now singled out as promoting witchcraft because it mentions the Solstice as a holiday. If you must be that stupid, try getting a couple of facts straight…Solstice is Druid…Yule is Wiccan…Now repeat after me once more…..Solstice is Druid….Yule is Wiccan. Do you feel in the slightest bit indoctrinated and ready worship strange deities? No? Then stop worrying about a stupid ad. It took me three tries to figure out what they were advertising. It took four to actually catch the Solstice and I had to have closed captioning on to see it. Go back to playing your records backwards and don’t forget your tin foil hat. If that ad is the sole focus of your holiday season you (a) have way more time on your hands than the rest of us, (b) really need to get a life/real job and C. don’t have my headache.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

I know dissolving stitches are supposed to be the way to go but the swelling is excessive and the pain just keeps on giving like sharp glass shards of a spider web digging into you. Then again, tonight the other side is also hurting. Toss a coin.
I found what I thought was the greatest cat toy. I hung the plastic ring cans come in on the door handle. The theory was; it is light, unbreakable and the door knob is strong. So, I started it swinging and in runs Fiona, jumps up and swings on the plastic ring right into the cat shaped toilet paper holder (which had to hurt) and falls off taking said toilet paper holder with her. That kitten is a few cards short of a five card tarot reading.
It’s been one lazy day. I have not been able to get up the energy to do much of anything and hence, that is why the forecast is later than normal.
I love to peruse the craft sites and look at all the nifty storage things. I ran into a complete cabinet today with fold down desk which I could just see as an altar, all my candles, crystal and mineral, incense, herbs and whatnot in the drawers and on the selves until I saw the price. Let’s just say it was somewhat short of a couple of thousand but they were offering free shipping. Another dream down the drain…….and it would even have been cat proof. L
At the shop tonight the Bitwit delivered multiple kisses right on the lips and a super nuzzle with purrs. I think she misses me. Soon little ones, soon mother will return for more than visits.
The nice thing about technology is it has almost eliminated paper cuts. I really used to hate paper cuts. I have replaced it with Napoleon sitting on my mouse cord.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

I saw a commercial last night that said if you unplugged your appliances after you use them, you could save up to 10% on your electric bill. Twenty bucks a month was really attractive so I decided to give it a whirl. I started in the bathroom with the electric toothbrush only to discover, it was not giving up the wall outlet easily. In fact, it is still plugged in. It wasn’t the only appliance with a death grip on its outlet. So I wondered, what the F? Then I remembered, as an ex-OSHA safety inspector, that a lot of fires are caused by appliances working their plugs partially out of outlets and then sparking. So, manufacturers have made plugs grip the outlets tighter. The obvious solution is to put everything on a power strip so you can just turn the power strip off. Of course, that will require a lot of planning so you don’t turn off appliances you plan on using, like the coffee pot. Then again, all those lovely little digital clocks will be blinking and a couple of appliances don’t want to work if their clocks aren’t set to something. Now for the world of short sighted planning; the power strips do not grip the wall outlets and can fall out easily. I have learned that the hard way with my ac. I thought I was having power failures only to discover the cats had partially dislodged the plug from the wall outlet.
I do put things on power strips by the way. It gets harder and harder for me to bend over and the outlet is always behind furniture. This leads me to a simple question. Why on earth do builders put outlets next to the baseboards? Just from a safety point of view, a foot or two or three up the wall and they would be less vulnerable in flooding or just plain washing the floor. Lamps and whatnot would require shorter cords which they already have. It would save on wiring because your wiring always comes in from roof level. So why are they in the most inaccessible location? I remember in my uncle’s house he built the outlets were in the ceiling. Yup, because the area was prone to flash floods and he wasn’t going to replace the wiring in the house every year, he just put in outlets that dangled from the ceiling. In fact, when they first came out with hanging ceiling lamps, they had outlets in the ceiling to plug them into rather than hard wiring them into the electrical system. Goddess, I AM old.
I am trying to figure out what has disturbed the natural order of the cats this time. Normally I have a pretty good idea what each cat is going to do, but Napoleon has deserted me two nights in a row, Boogaboo is trying to be a lap cat and Flame has lost her shyness. Meanwhile, Purdy von Sweets has turned into a terror. In her case, it may be withdrawal from caffeine. I haven’t been giving her the prerequisite coffee ground prior to making a pot.
Now for my amusement, let’s talk about texting. According to my spell checker, it isn’t even a word. Text is a noun, not a verb. I can understand it when you don’t want the people around you to know what you are saying, but when you are alone or driving it makes no sense. First off, I need glasses to see the keys and they are way too small for my fingers. Some phones don’t even have full keyboards! The phone companies charge by the message! You get unlimited talk time on most plans way cheaper than text. Why on earth don’t you just talk to the person? One thing I can predict, if this generation manages to text and drive and make it to adulthood, they will neither be able to type or spell. They will, however, be really good at hitting the keyboard with a straw in their mouth for when they wind up paraplegics from automobile accidents. It is also possible they will not be able to speak any language. I remember years ago, a science fiction series of books, yes…..those written things on paper all bound up in neat little packages you used to buy in book stores…..where several authors would write books in series, each one starting the next book where one left off. They were set in the future where everything was computerized and the characters spoke in computer terms. I gave up after the first half of the first book, not because it wasn’t a good book, but because I couldn’t understand anything. And with that I will speak in my native language to all of you who are laughing and see if you know what I am saying: “Meooorph!” That means scratch my chin, by the way.
There is an email going around that looks like it comes from Wayne Dyer. It doesn’t. It says something about belly fat. It not only contains a virus and a Trojan but if you click on the site, you have just opened a phlishing site will download malware and another Trojan into your computer. My security software went ballistic when it hit it and almost deleted the address line so I couldn’t see what it was. Don’t open it. Delete it!

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Officially, Boogaboo has become the cutest sweety in the house. I have to enjoy him before he grows up because he is going to be one big bruiser. For now he is just one sweety on my lap, purring.
It’s been a busy day and I haven’t had much time for anything but the good news is I am feeling much better. The nausea is over and the headache is barely there.
How does your day go? Do you come home frazzled and grouchy? One of the magical tricks is to immediately take a shower to wash all the negativity and stress off of you. Imagine it going down the drain. Most of us shower between workings and it can lead to some very dry skin. My recommendations is Neutrogena bath oil. It even works on your face. Apply before washing so it rinses off. It is a good alternative to those pricey creams and it works.
Update on last night: My friend is back at work, even with a couple of broken ribs from that low life scum bucket that pushed him down. I hope they add elder abuse to the charges when they catch the slime mold so he spends time in jail. Now I wonder, could this new assault on businesses in the area have anything at all to do with the Pain Clinic, or pill mill as we call them, that opened about 7 blocks down the road in the next county. You see, my county is about to legislate them out of business with a couple of rules. One of them is they can’t sell pills in the office. The person will have to go to a legit pharmacy to get their fix and the other is, they won’t be able to be a cash only business. They will have to take insurance. Not taking insurance is how they weed the legitimate clients out from the profitable addicts. I do feel from the poor psychic that established her business in the strip mall only to have the Pain Clinic move in a couple of doors down. That is rough. Geez, I thought the Cumberland Farms parking was an accident waiting to happen before. I wonder how long before one of these sterling citizens runs over a gas pump and blows the whole shopping center up. That is not a rhetorical question. Just check the fatal accident rates within a mile of the “pain clinics” in Broward for an answer. I’m going to suggest George take a different route home.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

News from the Goddess I feel awful front: We are all still sick down here. I really think it is from exposure to people who got the vaccines. So far I am keeping two bites of Biscotti down. Wish me luck.
The cats on the other hand think a sick human is the purpose one to hit up for a can of cat food. After all, won’t we pay to be left alone? What they don’t realize is if I opened a can of fish flavored cat food by accident right, it would be all over…all over them.
Rusty J. Hoover, our genius cat, decided he would not share the cat feeder with another cat or wait his turn. This dry feeder is designed for a GERMAN SHEPARD! I’ve never tested it, but I am pretty sure a half dozen cats could eat out of it comfortably. So, another cat is having a snack and he walks over and tips the whole thing over. It wasn’t as big a mess as I thought as it left a nice sized hill of kitty kibble right in front of him, which he settled into like a furry vacuum cleaner. Obviously, this was not the first time he has done this. He knew just how to tip it. I scooped up most of the hill of food and I am on his naughty list.
That reminds me of the Tshirt I saw last night: “Dear Santa, I can explain….”
I can’t believe some low life thief, knocked one of the elderly greeters I know at BJ’s to the ground, broke his ribs and made off two computers. Guess what sucker? You just made a witch really angry and I guarantee you will be not enjoying life for a really, really long time. George brought me a bread man home and guess which part I will be giving special attention to….yes sharp little raccoon teeth love bread. Your face is on it. And if I’m still pissed, your family goes down with you so you had better hope those little furry creatures put me in a better mood. Why am I so mad? Every day of my recovery for this operation, George has taken me over there to walk and every day, these gentlemen have asked how I am and helped me in any way they could always with a smile. Anyone want to join me in leveling this curse? After all, a good curse is the gift that just keeps on giving. The video will show up on the wsvn website some time tonight if you want a look at this low life. Just imagine a little bread man with a really sharp butcher knife in a really personal place and then a really big raccoon chewing it up and swallowing it. The raccoon was busy, but the possum has more teeth, anyway.
I have no idea what today's New Moon challenge was...I got too upset when I saw this on the news. Pox on him.

Forecast for 11/18/09

11-18-09
Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit


According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is yellow and the incense is marjoram. If you have a copy of this book, there is a recipe for psychic tea in it today.



FORECASTS:

Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Six of Swords: ascendancy. Think outside of the box. New challenges require more intellectual activity. Think.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
The afternoon brings more good financial news and the opportunity to use past knowledge, not necessarily gained the easy way, to your advantage. Being playful in the evening may be taken the wrong way and result in tears. The late evening is both romantic and psychic. It is good evening for a reading.

Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
Break free of the past. Fly and grow!

Today’s Cat Comfort Card is :
Angel Cat: “Know that you are loved and protected.”

Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
Epona’s Wild Daughter, Dorcha, is about and she isn’t the most pleasant of Fae. This also isn’t her first trip here this month. She has been showing up in the middle of the Singers and she sort gave me a message to give you: “Learn the lesson, will you! I’m getting tired of creating these nightmares.” Best do as she says before she moves on to depression and madness. It’s time to grow up! Everyone has too much on their plates to play silly games.

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 3 and the Element is Fire. The Rooster (George) finds conflict today and the Rat finds ease. Today is not an auspicious day for haircuts, writing, gambling, construction or births.

Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I know that peace on earth begins with my own inner peace. I release all negative thoughts I might have about myself and others. I rediscover the purity, the simplicity and the power of the Divine Child within me.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

I am running late tonight. I was sneezing so bad last night I thought maybe Napoleon had the pepper shaker in here. I could not stop sneezing. I awoke with a headache that wasn’t a migraine but a you are squeezing my head and my eyeballs are popping out headache. Then the nausea hit. At first I though I had eaten something bad. Then I noted on Facebook that it was going on around Broward County. So I have the local bug. I am really working on the affirmation that this beverage contains healing energy, not that I have been able to drink much more than water.
I did celebrate with a ginger mini muffin. Believe me, these are mini muffins. Any smaller and could put one in teaspoon. What am I celebrating? Today I scheduled the last payment on another credit card! Yes, one more down and sights set on the next one. Target, you are gone in January! Chase, you are gone in December!
Have you seen the new guidelines for mammograms? The risks cited include the anxiety caused by scheduling the mammogram and the false positives. Under those risks, you could also place paying bills, but I doubt if anyone is going to let me not pay for a month to preserve my health!
Since you’ve been working so hard on your new moon challenges, take tomorrow off and enjoy one thing you haven’t had for while! Reward yourself!
My cards are nicely charged. My LED candles are all ready and life is good. I really love those candles. So far the cats have knocked all four candles over at least twice. Think what would have happened if they had been real candles?
I know you all get these emails that start out, “God wants you to know…” A friend who found her in box full of them said she was relatively certain if God wanted her to know something, he wouldn’t be sending her an email. Hard to argue with that logic.

Forecast and a New Moon Challenge
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit

Message from the Microwits: I am Boogaboo! Fear Me! All steaks fear me! I rule!

Message from the Mamma: I swear that kitten is a bottomless steak black hole. Even Purdy was looking at him like; he can’t possibly hold another piece! I think he ate more than I did! When he grows up, hide the beef!!! Hide the whole cows!

According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is white and the incense is
Ginger.


FORECASTS:

Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Five of Swords: destruction. Okay folks, it is hard to put a positive spin on this card. Promises made have been broken. The excuse is: “I took on too much!” The answer is to learn how to say “no”. But as I said, there is no positive spin. If you have lost the trust of others, no matter what the excuse, it will take a really long time to regain it, if ever. Trust is a beautiful and fragile thing. Without it, there can be no love.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
The Moon enters Sagittarius at Twelve Twenty Two PM EST. What a time for the cat to have taken the number two key off my computer keyboard!
For a couple days, news about limitations, restrictions and new rules arrive. It is couched in very pretty words but the message is simple: No!
This is fairly aspectless day until late night when energy hits a high and you will have trouble sleeping.

Deck: Healing with the Fairies
The Faeries say:
Today is an excellent day to employ visualization.

Today’s Cat Comfort Card is:
Cool Cat: “Pride comes before a fall…humility is needed today.”

Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
The Singer of Transfiguration arrives. This singer indicates we have passed the test, the door has opened and we have passed through it. Now we have to make the inner and outer transformation and it is a do it yourself project.
Folks, we have been getting a huge number of singers for a week or more. Singers are Fae of pure energy. They are that which causes major changes in reality. When they arrive in this quantity, major stuff is going down. Last week, the Pacific rim, the ring of fire, began acting up. Checking the USA geological maps showing earthquakes of a 1.0 magnitude or more, you could clearly see the ring outlined. The middle of the circle is Hawaii and it even it had a quake. Stuff is happening! Because of all the Astrological positions in Scorpio, we may not find everything out for a while.

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 4 and the Element is Fire. The Monkey finds conflict today but the Horse find ease. Today is NOT an auspicious day for haircuts, writing, medical procedures, gambling, construction or births.

Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I let got of all criticism. I open my heart to tolerance, sympathy, patience, humility and tenderness.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Everyone loved the Blessing Day. Now I have another challenge for you. Today, I want you to charge everything you drink. Hold the glass, bottle, whatever, in both hands before you take the first drink and say, “As this fluid enters my body, so does healing energy.” or “As this fluid enters my body, weight leaves my body.” You get the idea. Change it as you need to for your situation. “As this fluid enters my body, money is attracted to me.” Don’t use abundance unless you want to gain weight! You only need do it once for each beverage.
It seems a lot of practitioners are using LED candles for spell work and they are working out just fine. There is the heat, soot and safety factors with real candles and I have to admit, every winter, between them and space heaters, a lot of people lose their lives. The newer type with the flame shaped bulb definitely do look like real candles in the dark. I have even heard of at least one church using them. Instead of depositing your dollar or so for a votive, you deposit your money and get a battery for the LED votive. I bet that really cuts the heat in the summer! I will still continue to use the mini candles for quick spells, but the longer burning ones are on their way out.
Cat, thy name is disaster. It was late last night and I was tired. After failing to do so most of the evening, I finally spilled the chicken broth. It was not a large amount, but it was just what Rusty J. Hoover was awaiting, had been awaiting all day. He flew into the kitchen. The kitchen floor is slippery. The kitchen floor has been slippery his entire life. However, just like Lotto players think tonight they will win, so did he and just like Lotto players, tonight the floor was slippery. He went nose down with front legs spayed out, ass in the air sliding into the little puddle of chicken broth and smearing it across the floor into a humongous mess. I could just see playing across his gold eyes as that single neuron he calls a brain fired, “I can always lick it off my belly.”
Goddess, you only deposit the defective cats on my doorstep, I am sure of it.
I have all my new tarot supplies resting on the dashboard of the Vanwitch soaking in the New Moon energies. I am certain if I actually left them outside, the raccoons, possums and armadillo would be telling fortunes tonight if not eating them. So, I had to find an enclosed, inaccessible spot in the lunar energies for them. So far the raccoons have not succeeded in picking the locks on the van. The overhang on my house is so huge, not even sunlight makes it in the windows, which in Florida is a really good thing. You can bleach furniture and rugs out in less than a year down here. The Vanwitch has a huge dashboard and as embarrassing as this is, I had to hang the altar cloth over the steering wheel. I ran out of room: two decks, bags, silk readings’ cloth, boxes and it seems it takes more and more stuff to set up my readings’ table as I get more and more protective of my Tarot cards. Oops..forgot the incense. I’m going to need a really big bag to bring it all back inside tomorrow.
Now folks, I know I give you advice, spells, philosophy and do readings, but I want you to do something for me. I want you to verify I am who I say I am before you take any of that to heart. Go ahead and search my name: Janice Scott Reeder. There is a dash between the Scott and Reeder but once again, the cat took the key off the keyboard. I don’t even know all the references you are going to find, but you can easily find them. They should go back almost to the beginning of the internet. Past that, you can search newspaper archives in South Florida and go back 38 years when I began my professional career. Before that, I actually worked for the newspapers in accounting. I want you to know who I am and what I am and before you trust anyone else on the internet, do the same thing.
We, and I mean everyone in South Florida running a business, not necessarily in the Psychic field, have to do this for the simple reason that with a barely good scanner, a color printer and a laminator, you can become anyone. Trust me, I was taken for twenty three thousand dollars by a licensed roofing firm that was using someone else’s building license to get an occupational license which they parlayed into national referral data bases and this individual, Robert Humphries, has scammed people from NJ, NY and all the way from the middle of Florida to Key West. He is still operating. Not that the person whose license he used isn’t in on the con.
People are just now beginning to question the credentials of these self help gurus running retreats. The problem with the internet is that a company or person can bury a search engine in results and glowing testimonials and it may be 10 pages or more before you get to the complaints. It is easy to do. Sometimes I just start 10 pages in on results. Please be careful out there.
Any con artist will tell you that their philosophy is that if you are stupid enough to fall for it, you deserve what happens to you. (JD Robb very nicely shows you the psychology of a con artist in her new book: “Kindred in Death”). A lot of them are psychopaths who really don’t care and others use that twisted logic to sleep at night. You definitely want to read “Grave Secret” by Charlaine Harris and no, it is not a vampire novel. It is about a young woman hit by lightning who can find corpses and what killed them. Both of these books show some twisted family dynamics.
If you don’t think these things happen, consider the young man set on fire by his “friends” down here over 40.00. Their parents come off petty, career criminals and now their children have joined them in the ranks of crime, but not as petty criminals. Oh, social services can’t take the remaining young kids away before they do a number on them, too. Then last night, to really turn your stomach, the police arrested the mother of a beautiful young missing girl for selling and trafficking in a young child for the sex trade. They still have not found that little girl but they have surveillance photos of a man carrying her into a hotel elevator. Please be careful for your children. This is not uncommon in other parts of the world. Now it has moved to our shores. Just please be careful!
Children learn by example. If you are sitting around bragging about who you screwed this week, what you got away with, who you hurt, how many lies you told and what you stole, just remember; those kids you are teaching will be picking out your nursing home. Just as I’ve said before, Karma’s a bitch and then she has puppies.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Today we move into a nice new, New Moon. This is a time of beginnings. Am I the only one who has noticed how really, really dark it is outside? This New Moon is really going to be NEW! Plan on starting something tomorrow in whatever area you feel your life need a pick me up. Do something for your business or work. Clean house. Cook a healthy meal. Give the universe a starting point to bring you new things this month.
And with that, we move into the holiday season. A lot of people go through depression during the holidays. This mainly occurs because all we see are happy people on TV, families getting together and big dinners. Instead of looking at the make believe world of TV, look around. Thanksgiving Dinner, done right takes almost twelve hours. Who has that kind of time? If I don’t order from Boston Market, I buy microwaveable stuff at BJ’s and Costco. No way am I cooking a turkey. I mean first I would have to clean out the pots and pans storage area; I mean oven. As to stuffing, I have no idea how mother succeeded in NOT poisoning us. Stove top works great. Yams? I hate the things. If I am feeling froggy I might makes some honeyed carrots but don’t anyone get their hopes up. That can of cranberry sauce convinced me years ago I had no need to commune with the real, fresh thing. George and my families are all dead. Friends have their own thing, which mostly involves a restaurant…I may join them. That way I don’t even have any clean up. So what part of that TV fantasy has any reality? It never had any reality so stop watching, plan something you like to do and get out of the dumps. One artificial day is not worth two months of agonizing. Trust me. I’ve been doing readings for 38 years professionally. There are very few people who actually like their families and want to spend a day with them. Most everyone sees it as a jail sentence with really nasty people as company and bad food. I guess the old adage: “Familiarity breeds contempt” is right. You know those people too well. Go have a good time with strangers. As to that next holiday, however you may celebrate it, don’t buy into that fantasy. Tell me honestly, how many holiday gifts have you ever gotten that were actually anything you wanted or could use, unless of course, I was doing the buying and I AM PSYCHIC!? So why are you breaking your neck and bank account having a nervous breakdown in lines that are miles long, circling parking lots forever, only to have your wallet lifted in the mall? Everyone knows I don’t get near malls in the off season. Too many people create too much psychic energy and information resulting in fried neural endings if you are psychic. Psychics do not like large crowds. Normally I vow to not step into a large department store after the day before Thanksgiving until the 5th of January and I do a pretty darned good job of it. George knows, I start yelling “empty the van, I am not coming back to Costco for weeks! Get everything we need.” Geez, why do you think my one extravagant purchase many years ago was an upright freezer? So, why are you putting yourself through it? Take the holidays off. Order on line. Heck, I even gave up on gift wrapping when I had someone to give gifts to. That bag from Target works for me. They are all going to holiday bags. Why not use them? No, I didn’t say, “Bah, humbug.” I said: Get Real! This is not worth your sanity. You have better things to do. If you really need people around, volunteer at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. Those people really will be glad to see. Go to the animal shelter and volunteer. There is nothing like a bunch of wagging tails and purrs to lift the corners of your mouth. Now, someone please tell Napoleon I am not cooking a turkey, there will be no huge bones, back, wings and tail, because I don’t have the guts.
What am I doing for the New Moon? Well, George found some finely milled French soaps I was saving for a special occasion. One thing the past four months have taught me is; there may not be another special occasion for you. So, I even put one out at the kitchen sink. I have the nicest smelling hands in town. I went to the shop to pack an order for tomorrow’s mail drop and treated myself to a new Tarot deck since I can’t find my old one in a bright, neon pink messenger bag. NAPOLEON! I treated myself to two! I shall be readying them for duty tomorrow. I am looking forward to having my outside altar up and running even if my circle of thirteen are wearing little masks and demanding offerings. I bet they would love crescent cakes but they aren’t getting any. Well, maybe the really old one will talk me out of something. When they get that old, they don’t compete that well for food. I have one event set up to work and maybe I will chance a second one. As soon as the decks are ready, I shall be back on Keen doing readings and will get the email readings up there, too. I have a busy week planned for myself, all under the influence of the New Moon.
Thought for the day: An old friend who has been in metaphysics longer than some of you have been alive once told someone: “I always try to see the positive in relationship.” The rat got a big smile on her face until she heard the other half of the sentence. “And I am positive I want nothing to do with you.”

A Blessing Day
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit


According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is Gold and the incense is Heliotrope.



FORECASTS:

Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Lovers: discrimination. Only by embracing both halves of your self can you find success.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
Mercury enters Sagittarius at 7:28 PM EST.
We are entering a long period, like a year, when frivolous or beautification projects will not get the go ahead. Only practicality gets the money.
This week, search out answers using the rational and practical means at your fingertips. Don’t guess.
The morning starts out social and easy and so you wonder what went wrong by the end of the day. Well, a square to Mars will do that to you. Ego energies start running high and arguments ensue. Be careful, you are showing more than you think and your Karma could be rather instant.

Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
It is hard to feel safe today.

Today’s Cat Comfort Card is :
Cat Suit: “Be Daring. Be wild. Be bold.”

Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
Epona’s Wild Daughter leaves little horsy footprints after she spills the white sugar. Her name is Dorcha and nightmares are her game. She brings our inner shadows to light, depresses us and can bring us to the brink of madness where we either grow or sink further into insanity. She is the Sphinx and we must answer her riddles or face her wrath. She forces us to face what we have buried, confront it and move on or sink into a really stinky swamp of self denial and defeat.

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 6 and the Element is Wood. The Horse finds conflict today but the Rooster (George) has ease. Today is an auspicious day for haircuts, medical procedures, writing and gambling but not for births.

Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I acknowledge the wonderful qualitative I have within me. I open up to the beauty and creativity of my Soul and I accomplish great things easily and successfully.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

Many of you have never heard of a Blessing Day. It is a very old tradition in which for one day, everything you handle, you bless and thank. Now you may be wondering why on earth you would do that. Hey, isn’t finding one thing you are thankful for each day enough of a challenge? The answer is no. In the latter, you get to pick, in the former, it picks you. I started the day blessing and thanking my pencil. Oddly enough, I still have it and the cats have normally stolen at least three by now. Not only that, but I use it at the computer to take notes as I run searches and play games. My searches have gone really well today. My games have gone just as well. Just give it try. You will surprised at the results when you acknowledge all the things in a day that help you and make your day better.
Magickally, do you think LED candles can be as effective as regular wax ones in a spell? I am trying the LED ones because they are safer. I could always leave them running until the battery runs down for the normal 7 day spells. Yes, the wax and wick are expending energy but so is the battery. Both emit light and photons are photons. You can even get them now with a wax coated outside and scent. I just got 3 red cinnamon scented ones at a price I would pay for 3 red real candles of that size. Now if I can just find some green ones, the money spells are covered.
Evergreen is an excellent clearing and protecting scent. This is the only time of year you can get evergreen scented candles, so stock up folks. I just got a glass Mystic Harbor one at BJ’s and it is GOOD! A little more money and I stock up.
I have to say, my mind has cleared and I am feeling very optimistic. Yes, my body has to get up to speed here, but two anesthesias, two surgeries and growing new tissue will do that to you. I am certain I am going to make my deadline of January 1st for being back to normal. The cats are ready because Mommy promised them an enclosed porch next year on which to lounge and they promised to leave the furniture alone.
There are a lot of people out there on the internet who aren’t who or what they say they are. I have a message for them. Be very careful who you befriend. A lot of us have really good skills at searching people on the internet. In fact, the chief fraud Secret Service agent said I was the best civilian at researching people and companies he had ever seen and finding links between them. I have friends that are just as good and have access to data bases I don’t. Just because I am a Druid don’t ever think that makes me a dumb, country bumpkin that communes with the butterflies, talks to fairies and can’t use a computer. In fact, I can do all three really well. I am working on combining all three. They call us Cybermages…..we use electronics to do spells and some of us have been at it since the first PC’s hit the market over 35 years ago. We have moved radionics into the computer age.
Purdy has just crawled in my arms and I must stop typing and pet her. Here I sit, at my laptop, in lotus position and a cat oozes in my lap, on her back, and nuzzles me. You know I had stop and pet her. There is just no choice. I have discovered that I thought I bought a laptop portable desk but what I really bought was a portable cat cave. Geez, is there no truth in labeling any more?
I finished Kindred in Death by Nora Roberts and it is really, really good. I think it is one of the best in the entire series. I am reading Grave Secret by Charlaine Harris of the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I’ll get back to you in it as I don’t know where it is going yet. I have vowed not to use my abilities to divine the plot twists like I did with Kindred in Death. It takes the mystery out of it, but when I come to care about the characters, it tends to happen.
Oh, just one other warning.: when you pretend to something you aren’t, keep in mind the old gods and the nature spirits aren’t your modern washed out gods. They tend to seek immediate justice and it isn’t pretty. Karma can be instant.

Forecast and Faery Finder: Astrology Works
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit



According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is black and the incense is rue.



FORECASTS:

Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Today’s Tarot Card is the Knight or Swords: penetration. Paranoia and manipulation are the hallmarks of this card. Be careful out there.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
The Moon enters Scorpio at 5 twenty 4 PM EST. Let the games begin.
We have a week long aspect that is going to bring emotional dirty laundry out into the light, bleach it and put it away. It may not be pleasant but it is long overdue.
This is a very psychic morning. Consult your oracles for information. Change comes this evening as the phoenix rises from the ashes.

Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
It is time to raise your standards.

Today’s Cat Comfort Card is :
Cat’s Twenty Two: “Feeling trapped? Think laterally and the answers will come.” What the cats didn’t tell you is they will probably blindside you.

Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
Ffaff the Ffooter is about so get those feet in shape. Ffaff believes you should not defile the earth by putting dirty, dingy feet on her. So, he inspects your feet. He can fly. You can’t and he has been known to lift both your feet at one time for inspection and wonder why you are screaming on your backside. Gravity always wins. He also is not big on hang washing, so you if your grungy feet attract his eye, he can easily spread a nasty fungus to you. The moral is, if you are going to make a stand on something, make certain it is clean.

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 1 and the Element is Water. The Snake finds conflict but the Rabbit (me) has ease. I wonder if that also applies to Snakes in the Grass??? Today is an auspicious day for writing and gambling but not for haircuts and construction.

Today’s Message from the Universe is: “”I let go of any concern about the future or regret about the past. I live every moment in the here and now. My mind opens up to a wonderful flow of creativity and every second of my life becomes news and exciting. This way I find joy, peace and freedom.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

In answer to the title, I never knew how well the general aspects I report work. Aspects to Ceres changed a while back and I said…people are now going to reap their rewards and they may not like them. Wow…am I good or what?. Then at the end of last week another big aspect set to Ceres came into play and most of the planets were in Scorpio. Scorpio loves to ferret out secrets and publish them on the front page. Well, this week folks, there are so many people in my sphere caught with their pants down on the front page it is a mooning contest. Three years worth of crap just hit the fan and Goddess, do I not only know who the players are, but I know what they have been doing. Some days I LOVE my job. I LOVE the Goddess of Astrology and Ceres is my new personal favorite. I am also really fond of Kali.
There are two double sided signs in the Zodiac: Pisces and Gemini. Gemini is the symbolized by the Twins and typically the action is two identical people arguing over too much information. Gemini loves information. Gemini is the intellect of the zodiac. They absorb information like a sponge. In the highest vibration, Gemini absorbs, categorizes, notes trends and uses. In its lowest, they can’t keep their mouth shut and it flows out as fast as it comes in. Can you say: scatterbrained? Gemini is my ascendant and everyone will tell you, I am person of few words. I prefer to listen. Oh, I can be witty and entertaining. I am an excellent speaker. However, I excel at listening. I also seldom forget anything and suddenly, my mind has cleared. Pisces is symbolized by two joined fish swimming in opposite directions. Water symbolizes emotion and everyone thinks the symbol means constant emotional turmoil and never knowing which way to go. Don’t fall for it. One fish is swimming in the way its heart leads and the other fish is swimming the way its head leads it. Pisces spends its life testing everything with heart and head before making a decision. Never let a Pisces fool you. We have a spine of stainless steel. We know exactly what we want and we will eventually get it. As the last sign of the Zodiac, we have learned to patient. Hurt the emotional fish and the rational one will get even, coldly and with the utmost of calculation.
Now on to the Scorpio aspects. All signs of an element work together. So when an aspect forms to Scorpio, it will affect Pisces and Cancer to a lesser degree. When it forms to Leo, it will affect Aries and Sagittarius to a lesser but equal degree and so forth. That is why these Scorpio aspects are bringing me so many answers.
Here is one for you. If you want to be happy, find what you love to do and do it. If you want the biggest, scariest challenge in the Universe, find what you love to do and do it. Please notice the one thing that is absent from what I just said: money. Once you focus on money, it becomes both the journey, the goal and the job…I don’t care what you are doing, you have changed your focus to money alone. That is where so many “spiritual” people go bad. Once the choice between what they love and dollar signs comes up with the old con line…but how much better can you do the job with a little money…they snap on that gold plated hook like a starving fish. That is the end of their journey. That is the end of their Spirituality. That is the beginning of an ego inflated beyond recognition and a miserable unhappy person. Look at MJ. Was there anything that man didn’t have in those houses? Yes, he didn’t have happiness. He didn’t have contentment. Without those two things, life really isn’t worth living. All the fame, playthings and money in the Universe can’t deliver that.
Just remember kiddies: Karma’s a bitch and then she has puppies……
