Celtic Month of Ivy.
Hi All,
This Friday is the New Moon. So do your new moon rituals. Friday is also the beginning of the Celtic Month Ivy. My favorite plant.
This Friday is the New Moon. So do your new moon rituals. Friday is also the beginning of the Celtic Month Ivy. My favorite plant.
Ivy is Gort in the Ogham alphabet. The month of Ivy runs from September 30th to October 27th. When we think of Ivy what is it that the plant does. Ivy connects trees. It wanders where it wishes. So during this month of Ivy, think about what Ivy does and how it would relate to you're life. This month is a great time to release all the negative in your life and push forward with the positive that you are blessed with.
I was going to talk about protection but that just seemed boring. However we should talk about Halloween since it's coming up. Many people will be seeking out thrills and chills. Ghost tours are popping up and Ghost walks. This is a time when the veil between the worlds thin out. When this happens it's easy for the other side to communicate with us. If you are going on ghost tours you should wear some kind of protection. At the very least ask your guides and or angels to help keep you protected as you are out and about exploring these tours.
This weekend I was finally able to add protein back into my diet. I have held my weight steady now the last 5 days. The think I am most impressed with is I'm not bloated. I think it may be because I have cut wheat out of the list of food I eat. The last 11 days I've only eaten fruits and veggies. I have added chicken and eggs back into the foods I can eat. I can now start working out again. Which is great because I miss my workouts. The weather here has been raining most days so I haven't even been able to walk. It will be interesting to see if this week I lose anymore weight as I start working out again.
Meditation. Mediation is something everyone should get in the habit of doing. I have slipped from my daily practice with life being busy. It's time to retake that and balance things out. This week everyday I'm going to take at least 5 minutes a day to center my breathing and grounding to start. Then I my goal is to build on this and actually meditate for a few minutes at a time. This my plan to get back into the swing of things. Once you build mediation practice then you there is no limit to what you can accomplish.
Have a great week All.

Happy Mabon/Fall Equinox and Stuff
Hi All,
As I look at my calendar it seems Mabon or Fall Equinox will be arriving Thursday September 22, 2016. I can't believe it is already here. Where has the year gone?
Mabon is the 2 of the harvest fests. This is a time of year where we "reap what we sow". If you think about living off the land. This is a time when crops are harvested and in storage or being put into storage for the long winter months. Fall Equinox is also a time when the day and night are balanced in time. This is a great day to take time to find some balance. Honor this day by reaping what it is you have been working so hard on. However you choose to celebrate have a blessed day.
As all my friends know I am a junk food junkie. I eat pasta and pizza, when we go out I have a burger, fries and a beer. I rarely eat fruits and vegetables. In fact the only veggies I really eat are just the basics. Corn, carrots, beans, peas, stuff like that. Fruits same, bananas, apples, grapes. Well I figured now that I am getting older and my body is changing it's time to clean my act up. I have been on a 21 day purification program. I am only day 5 into this and for the first 10 no protein and no carbs. Only fruits and veggies. Yeah, Well day one I was horrible. Headache all day. Hungry all day. I was kept alive on my shakes (nasty) and the basics that I like, however, no corn. Can't have it on this program of retraining your body what to eat. Ok so I read some reviews and the Standard Process 21 Day Purification Program people have said is hard until day 3. So I held out to day 3. I would say day 4 was easier than 3. Day four I wasn't really hungry, I was looking for fruits to eat and some veggies. I cooked black beans for the first time. Hey, I don't cook so that is a huge first for me. I also went shopping this weekend and bought some stuff to try out to make in advanced to take to work. I roasted Chickpeas, which are my new favorite snack. I cooked french onion soup. Who knew I could actually cook something with taste! I have lost 4 pounds so far. But better yet I am being introduced to good for you foods that I would have never eaten. My energy level is up and I am sleeping deeper. I will continue to let you know how this goes for anyone out there is thinking about a life change in the food department. Believe me if I can do this, then you can if you chose to.
This past week I have noticed a change in energy. Past experiences or memories of people I was once connected to have come forward again. It just dawned on me, of course it would because Mabon energy is hitting. Again this is a time for reaping what we sow. People that have left my life or yours have done so for whatever reasons. But with those memories or seeing reminders of those people maybe with the energy of Mabon we should be looking at it as what did we learn from that experience or person who was in our life. At that time in our life, what is the thing we are reaping from that situation or relationship? We also talk about the balance of the day with day and night being the same length and it is a good reminder of bringing balance back to my life or your own life as well. Maybe it is finding a new balance to life. Who knows. It will all work out as it is supposed to when it should, Right?
Have an amazing week.

Full Moon....Standard Process 21 day Purification Program.
Hi All,
I thought I would pop in to ask has anyone else been feeling or seeing the effects of the full moon yet?
I started the 21 day Purification Program through Standard Process. My chiropractor sells it. I was on HRT for over a half a year and gained weight bad. I had to go off because I was tired all the time and couldn't get up and moving. I was winded walking around work because I was so tired. I ate horrible because I just didn't have time to cook. Well ok horrible for me is bad because I love my chocolate and quick prepare food. I love pasta.
So I am day two on this 21 day cleanse and I have to eat only fruits and Veggies until day 10 when I can introduce meat again. No dairy. I have to say yesterday day 1 was horrible. Headache all day bad and hungry all the time. Today I am starting out not so hungry. I woke with energy. In the last two hours I've had tea, my shake, and a sweet potato baked, and I tried to choke down a smoothie with banana, pear and grapes. It was just too thick so note to self I should make those thinner.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I will journal this entire process for the next 21 days but I will check in here and there to let you know how it is going.
I hope everyone is having a great week.
Blessings All,
Wendy

What is going on? Mandela Effect? De ja vu?
Hi All,
Friday this week is the full moon. This moon is called the Harvest moon. Do your rituals.
Yesterday marked an anniversary for 9/11. I hope people took a minute to remember all those lives lost and the way our nation came together. Where were you? I was at home in my home daycare greeting parents when the news hit. Love Bites was playing on the radio and they stopped the song to bring the news. I went into the living room to turn on the T.V. to watch the plane slam into the tower. Makes me wonder if today we are any safer than back then. What has been done to up the security of America? Alright, enough I won't get started.
Today we are going to talk Deja vu and the Mandela Effect. I don't actually know great deal about these subjects so here is some basic 101 stuff. I am bringing this up because I have talked to a few healers and psychics in the past month and it seems like we are all having experiences with living an event and at the moment we are living it, the event triggers a memory of already having done this event.
What? Alright, example from my crazy life. I was traveling not to long ago. The morning of the flight home I was packing up my bag in the hotel room and simply put my make up bag into my suitcase and I had this feeling of having done this already at an earlier date. Same surroundings, Same person with me. It was like I was watching the event on rewind. But the thing is I didn't have that Aha! moment later that day thinking "Oh this was a dream I woke up from a few weeks ago". It didn't have a dream feeling to it. I remembered it instantly as it happened as something I had already done.
So I talked with some friends. Then I called friends again this last week when I was out again and had an experience where I knew I had done the tour I was on already. I know strange right. Well I started looking into it and a friend suggested reading up on some things. Here is what I started with. This blog is to just get you thinking and maybe someone has a theory as to what is going on. If you do please contact me I'd love to hear it.
DejaVu: The feeling that you have already experienced something that is actually happening for the first time.
Mandela Effect: This is as I understand when a number of people have the same memory that could be wrong or where events some how changed and that is why there is a mass "mis-remembering?
Examples would be the death of Mandela did that happen in the 1980's or 2013? Who remembers Henry the VIII's portrait having him hold a turkey leg? Are the famous children's books about a bear family the Berenstain Bears or Berenstein Bears? Which do you remember been correct?
This had theories forming that there could be ways of alternate universes or parallel universes some how slipping into ours. Or more simply we may have slipped into one and back again thus causing the memories to be different or causing you to remember something that you thought happened in a dream or already at a different time.
Here is a link to a Mandela Website I found by Fiona Broome http://mandelaeffect.com/about/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3l8idr9QFE You tube video about Mandela effect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw-YiEnHJ4s
Pretty interesting. Check it out.
I am not sure what I think about all this. I just know I felt strange knowing I had already been there done that. Other times I've experienced something like that I knew it was from a dream. From what I understand with talking to other people something is going on with individual memories.
Let me know your thoughts. Are we time traveling, is it just our brains, or are we slipping into other universes or what?
I will be looking more into this because it's just so interesting even if you don't believe or what your point is on this all.
Have a great week.

Wendy

Stuff Going On!
Hi All,
Lots of stuff going on this week to talk about.
Tuesday the 30th our favorite time Mercury goes into retrograde. Happy Joy! What does this mean?
During this period of time anything that can go wrong with technology can. Mercury rules communications. It is not a great time to run out and buy a new computer or cellphone or what have you. Communication with people maybe off. People my misunderstand the point you are trying to make. Think about all the ways you communicate or express yourself. Mercury can also effect travel. This is usually the time when stuff happens and I tell a friend and then I'm informed that Mercury is in retro. It's like a Friday the 13th day only last for up to 3 weeks.
Thursday is the New Moon phase. What's that mean? Well it's time to close the door and walk away from things that are not working. Release everything in your life that needs to go because it is not serving your highest good. I will be using this time to self reflect. I am also kicking around the idea of working on the shadow self and understanding the dark areas of well me.
Friday is the beginning of the Celtic Tree Month of Vine.
This is a time of year for taking time to celebrate or enjoy the fruits of your labor. Which this time of year in old ways is what was going on. Think of it back in the days when we harvested our own food and we all in our own depended on our plot of land to feed us and give us our basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. This would be the time of year we would be celebrating the harvest we have done and the harvest we have yet to do. What is it a vine does? Within a vines life it grows upward through out the year and when it is ready it produces fruit that ripens. We ourselves grow throughout the year. I'm talking our self growth as we experience and learn what life gives us. Most of the spring and summer when it is warm we are pretty active. Fall can also be a active time but in the winter as the days are very short we turn inward. This is our time of year in which we look at what has come to pass, what we have learned and then really celebrate those experiences. You made it though experience you may have not thought possible.
So I encourage you to really look at the cycle a vine goes through and look back at this year and see what cycle you have gone through. Then celebrate it. :)
I really for today do not have a topic to talk about as I am home with my cat bugging me to pay attention to her as I've been gone all weekend. I am however, working on a plan of self evaluation. As everyone out there is busy with life I am also, teenage boys, work, boyfriend, his boys our time without boys and how to fit in just me time to balance my energy from all of it. I am sure there are many of you in the same boat. Your job takes up the majority of the day. If you are like me and you have a longer drive time than the entire day is your job. Then you come home to your house and or your house and children. I am reaching a point where I have gotten out of the habit of daily meditation and I am taking the steps to get back into it. I need some self time during the say and when I don't get it I feel cranky. I need to get back into some good Reiki or self energy habits of cutting cords more throughout the day, Clearing myself at night with a smudging session or white light session. I also need to as I said meditate more.
So I guess here is homework for us all. This week I want you to pick a time to find 5 minutes to meditate and write down your experience with it. I am also challenging you and myself to clear out our energy at least twice a day. That should be easy to do. Next week we will get more difficult. Let's keep it simple so we continue to build as we together make a change for the better.
Have an amazing week all.
Happy Labor Day next Monday. Oh well, I guess that means no Mystic Monday next week. So we will pick it up where we left off the Monday after.
Blessings All,
Wendy

A Medium on Historic Battlefields...and More.
Hi All,
I want to start out by saying I am very sorry for the frustrations that my iPhone and iPad users are experiencing with trying to get to the blog. Apparently they are running into being redirected by aggressive ads. I have no idea why and I have contacted Blogger several times last week and have yet to hear back from them. My only suggestion is to go to www.intuitivewendy.com and see if that gets you to the page without ads. I will keep everyone updated by posting on Mystic Monday Facebook page.
On with the stories:
Gettysburg
I didn't have a many ghostly encounters in Gettysburg but that didn't shock to many of my friends. Since I had stepped into Gettysburg I thought I had enough protection. I had my hematite necklace on and protection stones in my pocket. I had a white bubble around me. I still got smacked by the heavy energy in the town and around. It started as soon as we visited town. I came down this a huge headache. Nothing would help me shake it. Day two I was in town and same thing and a bonus of being house that was turned into a shop and having an entity follow me around the shop making me queezy and giving me a headache.
Finally, I made my way up to the metaphysical store. I walked in and talked with the shop owner as I picked out black onyx, black tourmaline and smoky quartz. When I got to the counter I saw protection bracelets. I looked at a few and asked the woman what she thought would help best. I told her what I do and how I was feeling since I had been in town. She said there is a lot of energy not only from the horrible battle that took place through out town and the area but from the people that come through town. She also wasn't surprised at what I was feeling. She suggested the bracelet. I bought it and did some Nemeton Energy work to it and then put it on. From the moment I put it on an wore it everywhere I was fine. No more headaches, the ghost in the shop didn't bug me as much as when I didn't have it. So what was the little amazing thing made of....Hematite, Onxy and Amethyst.
Antietam
Antietam really helped put Gettysburg into perspective to the size of the battle. If you ever travel to Antietam I highly suggest the CD guided tour for the car. We started out tour with a 30 minute movie at the Visitor Center. Then we toured the museum and listened to the guide give his speech as we looked out onto the fields in the observation deck. After a few questions we were off to the car to start our tour.

All of these photos are of the are called the Sunken Road.
History:
Sunken Road became Bloody Lane as the Confederate army used this road where their line was. However, when the Union army came across the fields this road became a trap and the Confederate army was wiped out and pushed back to retreat.
When we walked down the stairs into the lane a confederate soldier dressed in a cowboy hat and long gray jacket came up by my right side and said as he dipped his head, "Madame this is no place for a lady. You shouldn't be around all this death and carnage." He left quickly. Then a young man, a teenager about 16 years of age, came forward shaking, he told me "I didn't come all this way to die away from my mother. I didn't think it was going to be like this. They (the men from my town) told stories of how it would be glorious." Brad asked me, "which way do you think the Union army came?" As he was talking to me, another Confederate soldier came up to me and pointed down the road and over the stone wall you see in picture two. He told me, "The Yanks are coming over the hill. We are trapped, there is no way out." He left me in a panic. Brad and I walked around and
the area became peaceful and quiet. We then left the area after I had a chance to ground and continued our tour.
So that is the end of this week's blog. I am sorry to day I didn't have more stories from Gettysburg. But I did have a great time out there learning history.
Have an amazing week.
Blessings All,

Sunken Road became Bloody Lane as the Confederate army used this road where their line was. However, when the Union army came across the fields this road became a trap and the Confederate army was wiped out and pushed back to retreat.

Gettysburg Night 1 Ghost Tour
Hi All,
I've been to Gettysburg and Antietam in one week and I have a few stories. Not as many as I thought. There are many places to book Ghost Tours and go out on an Investigation with a guide and tools on every corner. We went with one that had high marks on TripAdvisor and did just a walking tour.
This week for dates there is just the full moon on Thursday. Remember to do your ritual.
I have a few pictures to post and let you come up with what you believe is in the photos. Let's get started.
We went on the Ghost Tour though Gettysburg. Our first stop was the Jenny Wade house. Jenny Wade was the only civilian killed in the war. She was baking bread in the kitchen of her sister's half of this twin home. The morning she was killed making bread, the bullet that struck her went through two doors before hitting her in the back. This house is rumored to be haunted by a little boy. I walked though the house and didn't feel anything but that doesn't mean much. This entire town was the battlefield and I had a hard time with the energy in the streets and in and out of buildings.
Now in this photo behind the light pole is a statue of Jenny. However I want you to look at the door on the right. Then look to the left of the door between the door and the window shutter.
I won't tell you what I see. I want you to look and make up your mind as to what you see . If you want email me or leave a comment and I'll let you know what I see.

This bright little orb by the roadside was near the building the town stored damaged personal items from dead soldiers after the battle.
This is the house they used for storage. I think at one time this was Mead's headquarters. I'm not sure though as we had a lot of history thrown at us all week. If you look in the middle windows on both floors. The lower one is much more clear. We were told that the second floor of this house had the most sightings of ghosts walking in and out of view.
This is the back yard of the orphanage. There was a story of a man who was found on the field dead holding a photo of three children. The photo was put in newspapers and made it's way to NY. A woman saw the photo and recognized her three children and her husband. She came to Gettysburg to collect his things and see him buried when she was offered a job as the head of the Orphanage. Under her care the children were healthy and happy. People saw them outside playing. When she married and left one of the teachers took over and the children's health and care declined. Rumor has it she had a place in the basement where she would chain children to the walls. She was brought up on charges and eventually she was run out of town. However, this building is the site of many sightings.
In this photo there is a bright small orb by the corner of the shed on the green neighbors garage. This is still the property of the orphanage. Now if you look at the orb you will see or at least I see a face next to it. Let me know what you think and leave me a comment.
This orb disappears in the next photo. However, I feel like it's dust. I'd say a bug but we really didn't seem to have many bugs in the town of Gettysburg for as late as it was.
Gone
This was just night one of our week out in Gettysburg. We tour the Jenny Wade house and the Wills House where Pres. Lincoln stayed and finished his Gettysburg Address. We also did a day of the battlefield which I'll share later. We also did a day out on the battlefield of Antietam where I had three encounters all in one. I wish I would have had an EVP.
I'll share all that more next week.
Have an awesome week.
Blessings All,
Wendy

Lughnasadh/Lammas Blessings
Lughnasadh/Lammas Blessings All!
Today is Lughnasadh!
Tuseday is The new moon.
Friday is the beginning of the Celtic Tree Month of Hazel.
Let's talk Lughnasadh.
Lughnasadh is the first of the three harvest festivals. This festival honors the Celtic Sun god Lugh.
Lammas is the goddess as the grain or harvest mother.
The second festival being Autumn Equinox fest for fruit harvest. The third, being Samnhain.
This is a time of year when the sun and the earth start to shift to ready for the winter months. Celebrate the day with the ritual you chose.
Next week Mystic Monday will not post. I will be on a retreat.
Hazel Tree
This wood is used for the bonfires of Beltane. It is a tree representing wisdom. Hazel Tree stands as a guardian between our world and the otherworld.
Keeping it simple.
A friend and I were talking about Wicca and rituals. I was talking about wanting to learn more Wicca ways and she questioned this because neither one of us fits good into rituals. I mean, I am all about keeping things simple. To me the word "ritual" means I have to do something in a certain way. To me that's just too much memorizing. Do you need to follow a tradition in order to have a relationship with your God, Goddess or whomever? Do you need to set up a special altar with tools that represent deities? I have no idea; these are questions for you. I meditate to communicate with whoever it is I need guidance from. This doesn't mean I don't have a ritual. I do of sorts. I light a candle, play music that helps me get to a meditative state, I also do a prayer of intent and a thank you. I keep it that simple. Do what you want harm none.
Communicating with the Dead
This week I had an experience with a friend who I was chatting with on-line. I remember saying to her that he wouldn't get the sign that she was looking for because her loved one was recently crossed over and that he had to go through his life review on the otherside first. As I was telling her this and explaining charts and how we plot multiple "deaths" ways out, a man came to stand by my table and began telling me things that were for her. As we were chatting she confirmed things and got a sign within the information I had given her. I learned there is no such thing as a proper time to get a sign or not. If the person is strong enough to give a sign they will.
This week a bit of tidbits of information and not one real theme this week. I hope to come back in two weeks with some ghost stories!
Until then. Have an amazing two weeks.
Blessings All,
Wendy
