A Call for Salt Magick in a Blizzard - January 28th 2015

 

The view from my window

Let's see, it's Monday with the Moon in Taurus.
Tons of salt are being distributed all over the region.
What say we do a little sympathetic magick & bless all the roads.
Grab your salt, fire up the altars & lets cast.
"Salt, Salt we Salt this place, by the powers of Earth we bless this space." - MAL

 

Blessed Yule & Blessed Be,
