Dark Moon

My alter is in my closet which is huge. I have my closet in the overhangs of my house which is also where my dogs kennel is. Keeping my alter there keeps it safe, out of the way and hidden since I am in the broom closet.

So, last night I preformed my first dark moon ritual. I have been reading 'in the shadow of the 13 moons' which is amazing and I used as a guideline. I kept it simple cast my circle, did some enegy work and spoke with the goddess telling her of my intent to begin working with the dark moon. During the ritual I began to smell something really bad kinda sulfery. I thought perhaps it was a sign of some sort and it seemed strongest from the west. After I ended my circle i entered my room to find that Nubbins, my familar/dog who thinks hes a cat, had diarrheaed all over my room WTF. So, I am toying with two ideas my life sucks and my dog is a pain in the ass OR the dark moon energy was way to intense for him and he couldnt handle it. He has circled with me before and loves my magickal stuff. Either way this sums up my life right now. Dog Shit. Agh I swear I was being good and made my self stick to my decison to do ritual last night rather then just go to bed and i get stinky piles of poo for my efforts.

Nubbins aka the shitter, that goddess hes cute or hed be in deep shit
