Hello!
While the weather is still warm, I am reading the Tarot outside on the towpath. As the nights draw in I'll be inside my narrowboat by the fire. The candlelight makes the readings even more magical.

Our next festival is Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, which this year falls (pun intended) on the 22nd of September.
At Mabon there are equal hours of light and dark. It is a time of balance, and while summer is ending, the winter is approaching. This is the season in which farmers are harvesting their autumn crops, gardens are beginning to die back, and the earth gets a bit cooler each day.

Handfasting, Pagan Weddings, Vow Renewals and Elopements are becoming very popular and this year I have been very busy conducting these wonderful ceremonies.

My Dad used to make lovely crab apple jelly and this is how he did it.
10lbs crab apples
2lbs caster sugar
1 lemon, juiced
Put the apples in a pan, don't worry about peeling or taking pips out, fill with water to just cover the apples. Bring to the boil and simmer for about half an hour.
Place some muslin onto another pan and let the pulp drip through. This takes ages so leave it overnight.
Add the sugar and lemon juice and bring back to the boil while stirring.
'Mix it up and make it nice', (A family saying.)
Keep boiling for half an hour and skim off the frothiness. When the jelly is set, it will stick to the back of a metal spoon. Pour into sterilised jars and tightly seal while still slightly warm.
Store in a cool dark place. Perfect with meat, cheese, whatever you fancy.
Apple Wish Spell
Cut open an apple, there will be a pip for each wish. Ask for your wishes then say,
" In the power of water, earth, air, fire, and spirit grant me my wishes, so mote it be, so mote it be, so mote it be!"
Put the apple outside and let the apple rot and let the seeds be carried away by the wind. The spirits that see your seeds will grant your wishes for each seed that's blown away and the ones that stay may not be granted.
Mabon Apple Spell ~To Strengthen Your Magical Powers.
You will need:
One black candle
Matches
One seeded apple
One sharp knife
One white square drawstring pouch
One length of fine cord.
Light the candle, saying:
"Old one of the apples
Waiting with your sickle
Give me the courage
To grow in your knowledge"
Crab-apples, Crab-apples, out in the wood,
Little and bitter, yet little and good!
The apples in orchards, so rosy and fine,
Are children of wild little apples like mine.
The branches are laden, and droop to the ground;
The fairy-fruit falls in a circle around;
Now all you good children, come gather them up:
They’ll make you sweet jelly to spread when you sup.
One little apple I’ll catch for myself;
I’ll stew it, and strain it, to store on a shelf
In four or five acorn-cups, locked with a key
In a cupboard of mine at the root of the tree.
Next time I'll talk about Samhain, Hallowe'en, a favourite festival amongst pagans, witches, ghost and ghouls. It's pagan new year so there will be lots of inspirational and exciting advice on how to celebrate.
Mabon blessings to you all.

Reviews for "Ghostly Encounters at the Sea Witch Hotel in Carolina Beach, NC"
1. John - 1 star
I had such a bad experience at Sea Witch Motel in Carolina Beach, NC. The room was filthy and smelled of mold. The beds were uncomfortable, and the linens smelled like they hadn't been washed in ages. The staff was unhelpful and unfriendly, and the overall atmosphere of the motel was depressing. I would not recommend staying here under any circumstances.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
My stay at Sea Witch Motel in Carolina Beach, NC was far from enjoyable. The room was outdated and in desperate need of renovations. The air conditioning barely worked, and it was unbearable during the hot summer days. The noise from other guests was constant, making it hard to relax. The only positive aspect was the proximity to the beach, but even that didn't make up for the negative experience. I won't be returning to this motel in the future.
3. Tom - 1 star
I regret staying at Sea Witch Motel in Carolina Beach, NC. The room I was assigned to was not properly cleaned upon my arrival. There were stains on the carpets and the bathroom was dirty. The walls were paper-thin, and I could hear every single noise from the adjacent rooms. The Wi-Fi was unreliable, and the TV had very limited channels. This motel does not live up to its advertised standards, and I would advise anyone to look elsewhere for accommodation.
