backroads of France

Sunday in France

Another day spent wandering.....one place leads to another.  Castles, chateaus and a vide grenier, which translates to "clean out your attic".

I had no idea there were so many fields...acres of sunflowers in this area.  The fields are all spent now with tall sunflower heads bending their faces, but I can imagine the glory that they bring in the summer when they are in bloom.  Miles and miles of sunflowers.  A good reason to return.

The ruins of Sassiac Castle

The day begins slowly......a cafe creme...a croissant...some email....posting of photos and then we're off to wander and discover .....

And yesterday we came upon the ruins of a castle. Heaven!  I'm in heaven!

Ahhh....cafe au lait.....the real thing.

We have arrived in France.  

Hours spent passing through gateways in the sky...passing through clouds of time, sunsets and stars which sing our way.   

We fold our wings and land into a village called Soreze.  An hour south of Toulouse in the south of France.  Can anyone question the that magic exsists?

There is a little cafe right down the street....wifi and cafe au lait.  Ahhhh....Oh la la....

This is where you can find me in the morning.....

Here are photos of the 350 year old house we are staying in.....

We went off on a road trip yesterday.  Fields and fields and unbelievable fields of sunflowers past their prime, heads bowed after being held high and proud for so long in the heat of summer.

And yet I did manage to find one last Sunflower, sung to by the bees in grattiude, I'm sure.

My heart swells with the beauty of the old towns, with people still living in homes that have protected so many over the many hundreds of years.....but give me an deserted ruin any time and my heart stops!   Look what we found....hiking up and through fields of bowed sunflowers to loose ourselves in history, memory and dreams of past lives.....

an entrance in.....

what's left of the ceiling....

an ancient door, now leaning against the wall...

Wow...look at this.  It must have been the ceiling for a Madonna statue...

Still....you can see the beautiful yellow...the blue stars.....I want to hold it in my hands, but I must only keep it in my heart.

So that was yesterday and today....I'm not sure where we are off to....

but I'll keep you posted.

Ahhhh.....life is good.

Tout droit tout droit tout droit...........just keep on going.....

New class ..... in Magick!!

In my Level Three class in Matrix Energetics I learned a fun new technique for creating Magick!

I love this!!   It's called a Sigil.  Have you ever heard of it?  

A Sigil is a symbol created for a specific magical purpose.  It is an ancient art, centuries old, used by magicians and alchemyists....and now you!

It is a method by which the words of a statement of intent are reduced into an abstract design and then charged with the intent of the creator, and hidden within art work.

Sigil Magick is a widely used form of bringing forth an intent....a wish....a vision.

In my new class I've put together a fabulous lesson in creating a mosaic using tempered glass to achieve a really deep and magical effect and have included the lesson in creating a Sigil that will be embedded within the mosaic piece.   I've created a Level One and a Level Two class.

It will be offered on That Creative Place in the next couple of weeks, so check it out and learn to bring your intentions into the world!
