Happy Virgo Birthday Moving Sale

Alternative titles for this post include…

What, you mean I need to buy furniture?!

and…

Boo, no more backyard gardening.

So, it’s my birthday, and I’m moving.

To commemorate this huge transition in my life, I thought I’d invite you to join the fun. What better way than to have a sale? Here are the deliciously magickal details:

1 hour Magick Power Session is $48 instead of $74.
4 hours Month of Magickal Raw Food Coaching is $192 instead of $296.

The sale ends on September 4th, which is the day before I move. Because I can’t be expected to reply to email or schedule calls when I’m packing up my dehydrator and juicer, now can I?

You can buy your coaching sessions with me, and book them any time between now and October 31st. So even if you’re not ready to up your raw intake, at least take advantage of these discounts before prices go back up!

Funny Inside Story about my Move

Before I get into the story, I just need to mention my newfound addiction to the Soul Garden daily horoscope videos. Blame the lovely Gala Darling for getting me hooked.

Both Gala Darling and I are Virgos, and for the next 30 days we’ll be wrestling with the persona we want to bring out in the world. Becoming the Raw Foods Witch and living that truth is definitely part of the journey for me.

By the end of 2009, Virgos who did their “deep spiritual work” will be rewarded with 30 years of great living. I know my spiritual work is to help others, to put myself out there as a resource, so this sale is just another way for me to make myself accessible to more people.

Now onto the story of my new place…

Of Bats, Bat Caves, and Castles

Around 11:30pm on a warm night in July, I was dreaming. In my dream there were strange fluttering noises. I tried to ignore them, but soon I was awake. Still in that drowsy in between state.

I heard the weird fluttering again.

Oh, it must be the wind brushing plants against my window.

This time I heard the noise in the inner corner of my room. It wasn’t coming from outside. It was quiet for a moment. Then I heard it again, and felt a gush of air near my face.

It was in my room! I froze, fully awake now, adrenaline coursing through my body. I stayed there for a minute trying to regain my composure.

I got up and walked into the living room. That’s when I saw it fly around in a large circle: it was a bat! I ducked when it flew over me, and I couldn’t control the shriek that escaped my throat.

“Dad, there’s a bat!” This wasn’t new territory for my dad, we usually had a bat or two every summer in our house when we lived in the country. But we weren’t living in the country anymore, and we’d never had a bat here before.

He fetched his net, swung a few times, and finally managed to take the bat outside where it could at least get some food and find it’s friends.

To this day we’re still not sure how it got in the house.

Flash Forward to Today

My Alchemist Man and I have an inside joke about Batman and Robin, probably because we’re big comic geeks. (Some people have also called us the Mr. and Ms. Smith of the office when we worked together.) There’s even a “bat signal” for his workplace, that we could see from his bedroom window.

Naturally when trying to come up with a fun name (a la Havi Brooks’ Hoppy House, or Naomi Dunford’s Barn of Bliss) for our new place, I thought of the bat cave. Ignoring the fact that our new apartment is on the 25th floor and not home to lots of bats (at least I hope!), it might work.

I also like the idea of a castle. Witches sometimes live in castles, right? Though I really want to emphasize that I’m a good witch, and my castle would be one with rainbows, raw treats, and good Feng Shui.

Onto my 24th Birthday and my Own Castle

Come join the celebration, take advantage of the discounted coaching options until September 4th, have a slice of raw cake, and help me get through the next 30 days of being a Virgo.
