Tonight I did an oracle reading for myself using the Archangel Michael Oracle deck by Doreen Virtue.
I love her oracle decks and Archangel Michael, so using this deck is a nice change from my usual Tarot decks.
Check it out and enjoy!

Family Survival
I'm just going to make this post a quickie because it's late and I've had a very, very long day, but I wanted to take a few moments and write about being together with family at the holidays, a topic near and dear to me and mine. I would also like to say that this post is alternately titled, "How not to rip your hair out at the holiday dinner table".
Being one of the more observant family members has allowed me to watch and learn from the mistakes of my elders, and provide to those wanting to know more information to save them from hours of annoyance. If you are traveling far distances to stay with family, perhaps even days or weeks of annoyance.
So how exactly does one stay sane during holiday get-togethers?
Here's some (almost good) advice from the peanut gallery.
1) Only speak if spoken to, politely.
The more you can avoid talking to any relatives that annoy you, the less of a chance you have at becoming annoyed. Sounds easy, right? Wait until you are knee deep in dinner conversation about just how great Uncle Ted thinks his expensive, new Audi is in comparison to your decade old Toyota Camry and see how long that lasts.
2) Remember that holidays only occur at specific times of the year.
This is a good mantra to repeat when your reserve begins to wear thin and the urge to pull your hair out begins to sound like a fun activity.
3) Just don't listen.
Trust me, it's hard but it works.
Well that's all I have for today. If you, my dear readers, have any other tips or advice to give holiday weary souls, please don't be shy and post away!

Yule Favourites: Ice Cider
Amongst the many goodies we get to partake in during the holiday season, one of my all-time favourites is ice cider.
I'm in Quebec right now, and due to the excellent combination of abundant apple orchards and below-freezing temperatures here, ice cider is available everywhere as the local specialty drink of the season.
If you like hard cider, you will love ice cider. It's sweeter, just as fizzy, with a more rounded flavour; think apple champagne instead of apple soda.
Ice cider can be enjoyed straight- chilled of course- and is also great as a fruity mixer.
Here is a delicious cocktail recipe with ice cider for your Yule banquets, winter-time parties and holiday get-togethers, courtesy of the SAQ's espacecocktail.
(Disclaimer: I am in no way, shape, or form endorsed to put this on my blog; I just love the taste and wanted to pass it on to my readers, because don't we all love tasty things? Yeah we do).
ICE FAIRY (fair warning, this one pretty strong and sweet, but oh so good)
for 2 cocktails:
3 oz ice cider
0.5 oz almond liqueur
0.5 oz maraschino cherry juice
2.5 oz tonic water
2 maraschino cherries
ice cubes
To prepare this delicious cocktail, combine all the ingredients except for the tonic water and cherries in a cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously for at least 18 seconds (I don't know where they picked that number from, but I don't question the cocktail mix masters).
Strain into two glasses, top off each with half the tonic water and a maraschino cherry, and serve.
Voila, instant party.
Enjoy your awesome cocktails...always responsibly of course.

Winterize! (A Skincare Post)
When the leaves start to fall off the trees and the wind begins to bluster with an icy chill, everyone knows the winter is coming and the days are going to get significantly colder. Here on the east coast we get extremely cold weather- ice, snow, blizzards, frosts, ice storms, etc- so we know that when the cold comes, it's time to winterize. And I'm not talking about just the car. I get so dried out in the winter I need to change up my skincare big-time. I've decided to dedicate this post to all those whom face the dreaded winter scales and flaky skin and are just plain fed up. Trust me, you *can* have silky soft and smooth skin in winter. If I can do it in -40C so can you! Here are a few tips to make your skin feel more comfortable in the cold.
My number one go-to for great winter skin? Olive oil, extra virgin.
A bottle of this from the grocery store will last you ages, and you can even use it in your salads!
But yes, olive oil is great for moisturizing all skin types (with the exception of very oily), and is easily absorbed. Add some essential oils and a teeny bit of jojoba oil to your olive oil, and you have yourself a great multi-purpose body oil. Essential oils of lavender and rosemary are relatively easy to find and make a great calming and refreshing blend for body oil. That would definitely be a winter pick-me-up!
I like using olive oil for moisturizing my cuticles (they become insanely scaly due to frequent hand washing and the cold/heat exposure indoors and outdoors), arms/elbows, and legs (but only before bed, during the day it's too much unless you keep your PJ pants on all day).
I would suggest taking a nice, hot (but not too hot) shower, and then using your body oil right after drying off. The more moist your skin is out of the shower, the deeper penetrating your body oil will be through the layers of epidermis.
If you can find yourself an empty glass bottle with a cap, here is a good recipe. Make small amounts at a time to keep your body oil fresh and to not waste. Remember, you can always make more in a pinch.
Easy-peasy Body oil
60 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
20 ml Jojoba oil (this can be found in most health food stores, and some pharmacies)
10-15 drops essential oil *
*You can use the lavender/rosemary combination I wrote above, or you can come up with your own blend. Just be sure to do your research and make sure they are non-irritating to the skin and there are no negative interactions (for example, pregnant or nursing women should avoid certain essential oils).
Other things to remember for combating winter dryness are:
a) Drink more water. You'd be amazed at how many people are constantly dehydrated. I learned this when I started losing weight and realized that I really needed to drink more. Way more. Get a cheap water bottle and keep it with you so you don't forget.
b) Do NOT take boiling hot showers! Biggest mistake ever!
I know it's cold, and sometimes you just need a hot shower, but keep the heat at a normal temperature. Try not to have red skin when you exit the shower. It seems that men have a habit of taking super hot showers, though I have no idea why...so change that.
c) Invest in a good lotion/cream and keep it nearby.
The most common reason for not using moisturizer is because it is not accessible. I'm not saying you have to strap it to yourself, but keep it handy during the day, especially for after post-hand wash moisture.
I also want to say that expensive is not necessarily better- go online, read some product reviews (I suggest makeupalley.com) and try out a few small sized products. If you find one you really like, there is nothing wrong with sticking to it. One of my favourite hand creams of all time is Udderly Smooth Udder Cream.
Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. If it's good enough for cow boobies, it's good enough for me.
d) Wear gloves outside and to bed. It is winter, so the first part should need no explanation. For indoor use, slather on a good amount of cream, get some cotton gloves from the pharmacy, and wear those babies for at least 30 minutes. Sleeping with them on would be even better. For superior results, once a week use a scrub on your hands to get off all the dry, flaky skin, then rub down with your body oil. Apply hand cream, put on your gloves and you're good to go.
Well, there are probably more tips I can give you guys, but I will save those for a later post.
Keep warm, keep well, and keep moist!

Holly
As a witch, I love the symbolic and healing aspects of plants and flowers. Plants that grow through the winter are some hardiest out there, and three of these plants hold much traditional symbolism within the Yule season: holly, ivy, and the most famous of all, mistletoe. These three plants are some of the most prevalent in British and European countrysides, from which most Yule-time traditions that we currently use in our holiday celebrations hail. As many of us know already, the Christian high and holy days are derived in part from their Pagan ancestral origins, and many of the popular Christmas imagery that is known and loved so well can be traced to the early folk traditions of the British Isles that have held up so well over the centuries. In fact, we can thank the Victorians for reviving many of the beloved Christmas foods, decorations, and activities that make up what we now know as Christmas. Today we will be focusing on the holly.
Holly, the most popular of the Yuletide plants, is an evergreen shrub or tree with leaves that stay shiny and green all year long, and bears red berries as fruit. Of the over 400-600 varieties of holly, the one we know for its use at Yule/Christmas is Ilex aquifolium, also known as common holly, English holly, or European holly. A sacred plant to the druids, holly is associated with the winter solstice and the planet Saturn, and masculine aspects. Romans sent boughs of holly and gifts to their friends during Saturnalia (hence the Saturn association), and the druids decorated their homes with holly in the winter to invite nature spirits to shelter there- perhaps this is why the use of holly around the home and in Yule items makes for a festive and inviting atmosphere.
Another popular story of the origins of the holly that makes it so compatible with Christmas (or vice versa) is that it is said that holly first sprang from the footsteps of Jesus Christ; the thorns and red berries of the holly bush represent the suffering of Jesus.
Holy planted near a home is said to repel poison and protect from witchcraft and lightening. The wood has the power to tame animals and the flowers to freeze water.The beauty of the holly is that it's shiny, green leaves and bright red berries are a gorgeous sight in the stark whiteness and monochromatic hues of snow during the winter season. The red berry- bearing holly represents the sun (masculine) returning to earth at the winter solstice. It is a reminder that the God has been reborn to the earth, and the wheel of the year has begun to turn again, with the days growing longer, and longer until the opposite point of the year has been reached, the summer solstice. This is where the annual battles between the Holly King and Oak King take place.
The Holly King can also be seen as an Pagan embodiment and counterpart to that of Saint Nicholas, also known more commonly in North America as Santa Claus.
Uses for holly are mainly for festive holiday decorations and ornamental gardens due to the toxicity of the berries. Some species of holly, however, are used for herbal preparations in different parts of the world, including China (kuding cha) and South America (yerba mate).
During the Middle Ages, the holly was used in heraldry as a symbol of truth.
As for the use of holly in witchcraft, as I mentioned before, holly is masculine in nature and is associated with Mars, or Saturn and the element of fire; it can be used for consecration purposes, and in spells for material gain, physical revenge, beauty, protection, luck and dream magic. It is especially protective against lightening, and it is said that planting holly around the home or using holly boughs within home decorations will protect the household from unfriendly (!) witches. Friendly witches need not worry.
Further more, holly can also be utilized in any ritual relating to death and rebirth, and seasonal mysteries, certainly those linked with Yule are also suited to any sympathetic magick using holly. Finally the wood of the the holly can be used as a very good wand to banish unwanted entities and command evoked spirits within ritual. Lastly, a herbal water preparation made with holly has protective properties (just don't drink it).
There you have it, a very long post about holly, one of our favourite Yuletide plants.

Knitting For Yule
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...something handmade?
Yes! For all you crafty lassies and laddies out there, this is the best time of year to get into crafting mode and make a little something for someone you love. Making things is always fun and economical, not to mention you might learn a new skill in the process. You don't even have to love them, just make them something to let them know you care, because that is what this time of year is all about, right?
Now I can't speak for anyone else out there because, as we all know, everyone is different (that's what makes life interesting), but I love knitting and I figured that since I don't have much going on right now, I should go the handmade route for gifts this year. With that in mind, I (sort of) created my own pattern for a washcloth/dishcloth, which I'm giving as a gift with a bar of handmade soap (which I also made, but that's another blog post entirely).
I know my friends would love anything I gave them, but I like making things so it's a good way for me to get creative and work with my hands. Plus I get to improve my knit and purl technique in the meantime, which is good for those long, cold, winter days when I really want to be indoors but don't want to be bored.
As a crafty witch, I just love this kind of stuff. Here's the ones I've made so far with the bordered basket-weave pattern I came up with. It's simple but playful, and looks very nice in the cotton yarn. For any knitters reading this, I spruced up a basic pattern and knit on smaller needles so my cloths would be thicker and stiffer, good for more scrubbing action in the sink/shower. I used two different brands of cotton yarn for these: Lily Sugar and Cream, and Peaches and Creme (a brand I had never used before but was lovely as well). I'm so used to knitting with cotton it's like second nature now.
Here are a few of my finished cloths. Patterns look best on solid colours, but I love the ombre shades of cotton yarn. They are look so cute when finished, and the colour selection available is great. If you know someone has a certain colour scheme in their home or bathroom, or they really like a specific colour, you can always pick a yarn to match. Personalized gifts tend to bring out the biggest smiles, in my experience.
This is the big ball of Bernat Handicrafter cotton yarn I bought for the rest of the washcloths. It's a pretty big ball, so I hope I can get at least 5 washcloths out of it!

And a close-up shot of the pattern. By the way, the different between the two green cloths is that they have different border stitching. The one on the left is in garter stitch, the one on the right is in seed stitch. Both are pretty, but I'm especially fond of the garter stitch border. It looks a bit neater to me.
This is the big ball of Bernat Handicrafter cotton yarn I bought for the rest of the washcloths. It's a pretty big ball, so I hope I can get at least 5 washcloths out of it!
That's all I have so far for my handmade gifts, but keep checking in to my '21 Days of Yule' blog posts. I will be talking about handmade soap in a future post.
And don't forget to comment! The Yuletide giveaway is on, so the more you comment the more chances you have of winning.
The December countdown to Yule is officially on- have a good night and if you have anything to add about your own experience in handmade gifting, let everyone know by posting a comment. They are always welcome :)
