Losing people in your life… moving away, point of view shifts, death… is the ultimate change. You’re never the same. And all you are left with are once upon a time-s.

But its in these memories magick exists, stored away and sometimes locked up. Not all good but not all bad, they are life lessons with emotional power we as living organisms need to tap into to be living.

For me Mother’s Day is one of the most important ancestor days. It doesn’t matter whether the holiday is a cry for revolution(Anna Jarvis) or a corporate sponsored economic stimulus vehicle. It is a day ingrained in the USA’s mind and should be used for Remembrance. And for those of us who have lost our Mother’s it is that much more important to tap into the life lessons that our mother’s gave us: the good, the bad, the embarassing, the horrific, the wonderful…

And so it has become tradition in my household to set up alters for our Mothers and even the Mothers of friends to help us to tap into the magick of memory and to honor those who gave birth to us.

Love you Mom
