10 Superstitions, Traditions, and/or Personality Quirks
1. Yes, I knock on wood. I have to knock three times, always in threes, even numbers very unlucky!
2. If you want something really badly, do not talk too much about it, do not tell people about it, if you do, it will never come to fruition.
3. I believe in the rule of three! What you do, good or bad comes back to you threefold.
4. Weathermen should watch the moon closely as a tilted moon pours water out in the form of rain.
5. I learned this in a Feng Shui class: If you leave the toilet lid up, all your money and prosperity go out of the house via the sewer. Although I did think that this might be a clever way to make your man keep the toilet lid down! 
6. Always re-enter your house through the same door you left to promote good luck.
7. You need to eat black eyed peas on new years day to bring good luck. A nice southern, Texas tradition/superstition.
8. Never take a broom with you from an old house to a new one! This is bad luck. Always acquire a new broom.
9. If your ear is burning, then someone is talking about you. To determine whether what they are saying is good or bad, remember this rhyme, – Left for love, Right for spite!
10. I believe Black Cats are good luck, even if they cross my path! - Early Christians, fearing the old religions changed black cats from being a symbol of goodness, to one of bad luck. In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly ladies who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches. Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven. Hooey, what hooey!!!!

Goddess of the Week – Oya(Change)
April 29, 2008 — amethystd“In Africa, Oya is the Yoruban Goddess of weather, especially tornadoes, lightening, destructive rainstorms, fire, female leadership, persuasive charm and transformation. She is also one of the most powerful of Brazilian Macumba deities. When women find themselves in hard to resolve conflicts, she is the one to call on for protection.” Wine is her favorite color, and her sacred number is nine. (courtesy of The Goddess Oracle)
Oya comes into my life to tell me that it is time for change. I have been floating along in my life, just existing, not making decisions, not making changes, afraid to move forward, afraid to move anywhere. I am now acknowledging my paralyzation, accepting the need for change, craving change. It is now time for me to step forward, make changes, and leave the bog of eternal stench (my traumas) behind me.
Okay, I am going overboard….Now My Wand

12 inches, yew and stardust. Flexible, unique, mysterious. A Gregorovitch wand no doubt, with remarkable workmanship and beautiful… even if it does have a tendency to get as lost in dreams as it’s owner.
