Goddess of the Week - Oya(Change)

“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

Which wand will yours be?


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.

Busy, Busy, Busy

With my feet on the mend, and the Earth Day Art Show this past weekend, plus starting a new job, things have been very busy for me!  I was going to move to Fort Worth, but with my new job, I have now decided to stay in Dallas.  I am currently looking for a place that is closer to downtown, as that is almost where my new job is.  I am really excited about my new position.  I will be working for a non-profit organization.  They have a food bank, clothing center and learning center.  I will be teaching Civics and ESL, as well as monitoring the other teachers.  I am thrilled to be working with the organization.  I have never loved a job as much as I have loved teaching ESL.  I am also getting ready this week for a little art show at the Angelika.  It is put on over by Mockingbird Station by a store there called Counter Culture.  It will be from 12-4 on Saturday.  Please wish me luck!
