Tending the President Obama Altar
Today I awake with joy and happiness in my heart that President Barack Obama, has been re-elected for a second term.
Millions of people voted and worked very hard to bring this vision into manifestation. For my part, I voted and I tended and kept an altar for him for four years:
On the eve of the last election in 2008, I lit a candle for then candidate Barack Obama. I felt called to do it. No one asked me to do it, it was just what I felt needed to be done. When he won the election four years ago, I decided it would good idea to keep the altar going for his entire term. Little did I realize how the altar which was very small at the time, would grow into the beautiful space it has become! On the altar is a hat my friend gave me from his hometown of Chicago, an Obama doll which was a Christmas present, the Esquire magazine which had him on the cover, one of my prized possesions - an Obama cover comic book, a homemade Obama Christmas ornament - which was a gift, candles that burned in significant ways, and the latest addition, the 2012 Obama-Biden bumper sticker!
All these items came to the altar of their own time and accord. I learned a lot about tending an altar and making such a committment. For starters, the purchase of candles became quite expensive and time consuming. I've never asked for any financial support, so I had to find ways to adjust the frequency of lighting the altar, so I wouldn't break my pocketbook. Then there were the times when I didn't agree with some of President Obama's decisions and I had to keep the altar. That was a time of spiritual growth and dedication to my committment. I am grateful to the Great Goddess for her bountiful blessings upon my work.
Now that President Obama has been re-elected, my charge and committment to the altar is done. I have done my duty. But will the altar come down? Will I stop tending it? Is it still necessary? These are questions I will need to answer for myself. We will just have to see. And if you are reading this and have any comments or suggestions, I appreciate your feedback!

New Moon Conjure
Last month I missed the first silver crescent of the New Moon, due to the wildfires here in Colorado. The sky was so cloudy that I didn't get to see the New Moon. The first time I saw the Moon was when it was half-full and I was kinda bummed that I had missed the crescent. Perhaps too, that is also why I had such an attack of the "Dark of The Moon Blues", because I missed the Crescent last month.
Thankfully this month the sky was clear and I intentionally went outside to view the Crescent. I was rewarded by seeing the faintest sliver, hiding behind clouds. I then knew I could begin my New Moon work.
This cycle I had several candles to dress and fix. Lots of people are in need, not to name a general need for all of my fellow Coloradans and everyone affected by the Aurora Shooting.
I laid all my candles out, gathered my herbs and oils and set to dressing and fixing them. I love doing the work. There is something very creative and healing about doing candle work. I also dressed and fixed candles for my altars. I light fresh candles on my altars on the New Moon and the Full Moon, and sometimes in-between, depending upon the work needed.
Here's to a New Moon cycle. I wish you bright blessings upon your works and may they be successful ones!

Tell Me About Conjure
What is Conjure and why do I practice it? Why do I offer my services to help others? Have you ever felt there must be something more you can do in a situation? Do you pray? Do you light candles? Conjure work to me, is prayer backed by centuries of knowledge, using the gifts Nature has bestowed on us, to help us on our way.
In my own life I have had many successful outcomes using the art of Conjure. The work comes naturally to me although it takes time, skill, knowledge and effort to produce successful results. I've been so blessed through my Craft of Conjure, that I feel it is my responsibilty to offer my services to assist others. If you'd like to know more about me or my services, please visit my website; http://www.craftandconjure.com/
