Witchy Girls Night III

Saturday evening was the third Witchy Girls Night. We brought things to eat (cakes, chocolate, cookies, etc.). Sorcha took care of the drinks. She had made Witches Brew, spice syrup to put in the tea. Very yummy!!
The theme was "the veil and the crone" about Samhain, Hecate and getting older. We made an ancestor altar with pictures and things of our beloved ancestors. It was beautiful, but I can't post the pics I made because of privacy reasons. I can show you my section: I brought a picture of my dad and his pen (that I'm using every day).
For the ritual we used another altar. We casted the circle from hand to hand. We remembered the people who died in the burning times and honoured Hecate. Luna Verde had written a wonderful guided meditation. The black panther accompagnied me on the journey. I saw Carmen, my guide I met years ago in a regression. She offered me a gift and a warning. She warned me for energy-suckers and negativity. The gift was a pen, a message from daddy. I didn't completely follow the guided meditation (what's new? ;-) ), but afterwards I felt good.
After the cake & wine we drew cards from a deck called "Good witch, bad witch". It isn't a serious card game, but still the cards we got were somehow fitting. I picked the Hedge Witch; apart from a lot of good things she warns for people that drain your energy... Looks like the universe is trying to tell me something, huh?
We talked about what getting older means to us. To me it is something like a combination of physical decline and mental/spiritual growth. That's very black & white of course. I don't really have a problem with getting older, apart from the fear I don't have time enough to do all the things I still want to do. I'd like to get 150 (in a reasonably good health and if everyone gets to that age). :-)
It had become late already, so I called Ron who had promised to pick me up. It was another great night, not in the last place because of all the effort Sorcha and Luna had put into it!
