Connection

There was a time when the only thing I was sure of was the sun rising and setting everyday, and being able to watch the moon move across the sky.  If I think about it that is the only thing that was consistent in my life.  It was in those moments of watching the sunrise and set, the full moon shining down on me that I felt connected to something. In this feeling of connection I felt like I was valued.

So much of the world today is about money and numbers not people. We are forced into this society to have a plan for everything. We have to know the outcome before we leap.  We are losing our sense of adventure if because we have to see what is coming around the corner. I am a planner and it really gets my knickers in a twist when I can’t plan.

My husband is a man who doesn’t plan, he lives by his own rules and whatever takes his fancy at the time. He never worries about the outcomes and takes one day at a time. He is in tune with the world around him in a way that I hope to be one day. He has a need and the universe always provides without fail.

He said something to me the other day that stuck a cord. That I have lost my connection to nature, that only when I am at the mercy of the elements will I fully understand what it means to be part of nature. He is right I have lost that, but have a chance at getting it back in our adventures.

Last night was a beautiful night so I spent some time outside under the full moon, listening the wind move through the trees, the silence of the night and I once again felt the familiar feeling of connection. It truly is a daily practice of keeping connected….and one that I won’t let fall by the wayside any longer.

So where do you find your connection?

I have this song running through my head....it seems to fit this blog

Wising you all a beautiful week!

The Copper Offering Bowl

Since ancient times copper has been known as the great healing and sacred metal. Fashioned into jewelry before recorded time, copper is the first metal our ancestors utilized. Metal workers were often regarded as magicians in early societies. Copper was also a symbol of power.

Created out of fine copper, this fantastic offering bowl offers the golden red finish copper is known for both within and without. On its outer surface this is accented by skillfully sculpted brass accents. These take the form of scroll work that decorates the bowl's rim and base, and intricate triple moon patterns, representing the Goddess, that run along the bowl's sides.

I have to tell you the first time I saw the picture of this bowl, I fell in love with it. It was different and unique. I have always found copper beautiful and with the brass trimmings it just stood out. I was quite pleased when the box arrived and I got to hold the offering bowl in my hand.

It is the perfect size for small offerings measuring 3” tall and 1 ¼” wide. It fits in the palm of my hand easily and would make a perfect addition to a traveling altar. I have been using this offering bowl for the last couple of months and here are several different ways I have put it to use.

 ~ As a tea light holder. By placing a small tea light in the center you will illuminate your altar with the light that reflects off the copper and brass. The light is warm and inviting and just a lovely addition to any altar. 

~  It makes a perfect bowl to hold many different things, sea salt, dried herbs, soil, small rocks etc. I  have also used it to hold water, but I empty it right after.

~ It also makes a wonderful bowl to hold your written intentions. I would advise against using it to burn herbs or anything else.

So I am quite please with this new addition to my altar. 

This retails @ $12.95 and also comes in the Om Symbol, Tibetan Dragon and Triquetra which can be found here.
