A big thank you to everyone who participated and for being a fan of 2 witches blog.
Bright blessings, Lady Rose and Mama Kelly
I am happy to announce that Two Witches Blog is holding a contest – just in time for Yule. The prize is a 2010 Seasons of the Witch Calendar (spiral bound), and a small surprise gift from the South Jersey Pagan Pride event that I attended last month. It is just a small way to say thank you to all our readers and let you know we truly do appreicate you.
To Enter: leave a comment on this post (1 comment per person), and for an extra 5 entries, write a post about 2 Witches Blog (a brief review and\or mention the contest) on your blog with a link back to us (http://2witches.com/blog/); please remember to leave a link to your post in your comments so I can record your entra entries.
Deadline: Dec. 17 (winner will be selected Dec. 18 and an email sent out for shipping info.).
I want be able to mail the calendar to the winner in plentry of time so that it arrives before the end of the year (and since I will use priority mail) it may even arrive before Christmas).
The Seasons of the Witch Calendar is really beautiful. I had one a couple of years ago and got another one for myself for 2010. Each of the 12 monthly tabs has a goddess collection print with reference notes on reverse side. It is printed in a one page per day format (including Saturday and Sunday) and “features major & minor PowerCasting™ opportunities for spells, sabbats, esbats, noteworthy events, lunar astrology, moon void-of-course, Mercury Retrograde, 7th House 13-Month Witches Calendar, Secular (bank) holidays. Every month begins with a month-at-a-glance spread with waxing moon days shaded yellow.”
Good luck and bright blessings everyone, Lady Rose
My friend Michelle and her husband have entered a film in a contest, if they win it means $50,000 in their pockets, something that would truly be a blessings from the Gods.
To rate our film and possibly help us win $50K, please read on.
To simply view our film and not participate, please click here: The Best Fisherman in the World
I must warn all of you that the quality of our film is subpar. It’s not our fault, we actually have a VERY good version of it here at home, but the requirements for uploading our film, and also the sheer amount of films available on the voting website, really restrict the quality of our film. Therefore, it looks like we don’t know what we’re doing. But I assure you, we do know what we’re doing. We have an email in to the operators of the site and have received a response that they are working on the problem/fix. When that fix happens, I’ll update this posting.
Now, for the voting information…
You must register with the website, which begins here:
Upon registering, you’ll be presented with the option to “Request Rating Assignment.” This will allow you to rate up to five films in a 24 hour period. These films are chosen at random, and you will get to rate each video during the voting session, which has already begun and will continue until 11:59 PM on July 31st.
I don’t know how often you’ll get to vote on a single film entry, or how many films you’ll have to watch before you can vote on our film. It’s all random. This is actually a very fun way to view what types of independent films are being produced out there in the US. People from around our country have worked hard to put their projects together and I am honored to be able to participate with them.
There are rules that many of the films have not followed, however, and you do have the ability to flag those films if you deem it necessary. Such as the showing of any label or logo that is not from the Stella Artois beer company. We’ve already had to flag quite a few, because of this rule. Not only is it breaking the rules of the competition, it’s breaking the law. We’ve been paying close attention to these details for many years to know what this all means. Plus, it just wastes every one’s time, since we have to sit through to the END of the film before we get to rate it. Don’t skip out on those credits as you’ll only be presented with those rating stars AFTER the entire film has been shown.
After this public voting period ends, the 10 films with the highest ratings will be viewed by a panel of celebrity judges, whom you can see on the voting website. Of those 10 films, ONLY ONE will be chosen to win $50K. While the money would be awesome, I think just getting a top 10 film that will be viewed by the likes of Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne is enough to make me happy for the rest of my life.
Thank you all for your consideration in participating with us in this competition. It means a lot. And if we win, we get to throw a wrap party, complete with Stella Artois beer. Tell your friends to join and vote!
The winners have been chosen by random.org.
The first winner – recipient of the New Moon earrings is LunaWolf
The second winner – recipient of the Golden Sun earrings is Janet F
Please send your physical mailing address to Mama Kelly who will in turn forward it to our contest sponsor Lady Amaranth of Eternal Stardust Jewelry
Congratulations to both winners!! Wear your new earrings in good health!!
And now, of course its time for another contest, another free tarot reading giveaway.
You may choose one of the following spreads:
As with our free earring giveaway there will be ways to earn multiple entries so as to increase your odds of winning. Please remember that each entry will require that you leave another comment as we will once again be using random.org to pick the winners.
Entry #1 – leave a comment simply indicating that you want an entry in the contest (required)
Entry #2 – link to us in your sidebar and then come back and tell us you have done so, if we are already linked there just leave a comment advising us of this fact
Entry #3 – tweet about our contest, just cut and paste the following
I just entered for a chance at a free tarot reading over at 2 Witches Blog http://tinyurl.com/dcj86c
Then come back and advise of of your tweet, also listing your twitter ID
Entry #4 – post something on your blog about tarot … your own thoughts, feelings, skepticism, or even memories of previous readings you’ve done or received and link back to us at http://2witches.com/blog anchored to the words free tarot reading … like this <a href=”http://2witches.com/blog”>free tarot reading</a>. Then come back and let us know your post is up.
Entry #5 – write another post reviewing our blog and link back to us at http://2witches.com/blog anchored to the words pagan blog … like this <a href=”http://2witches.com/blog”>pagan blog</a> Then, again, come back and let us know your post is up.
So yes this means that you can earn up to 5 entries in our giveaway. Entry #1 is required, after that you are free to do all of the other 4 or simply pick from among them to earn the additional chances you desire.
Just remember that each entry requires that you come back and leave a separate comment. In other words if you want all 5 entries you need to make 5 separate comments. I am not responsible if you erroneously put all your entries in one comment.
Additionally, if this post gets more than 100 comments I will choose 2 winners.
The winner(s) will receive their choice of spread via email in an attached word document within 5 days of sending me their question.
And speaking of contests, have you checked out the Ultimate Blog party with all of its wonderful prizes to be won?
Now most of these prizes are geared toward parents of babies and young children. Obviously any prize I win would more than likely be used as a gift for one of the ladies I work with who are becoming grandmothers this summer. But, if I could win anything I would pick …
Good luck to all and let the fun begin.
Blessings
Mama Kelly
PS Entries will be accepted starting the evening of Saturday March 21 until midnight (Eastern time) on the day of the next full moon, April 9th. So you have plenty of time to get all your entries in.
PPS Please keep in mind that tarot readings are also available for purchase
New Moon Earrings
*
Golden Sun Earrings
*
One of our regular readers Lady Amaranth has generously offered earrings from her Etsy store, Eternal Stardust Jewelry. The contest will run from today through Ostara and not one, but two winners will be chosen. Both earrings share the stone Tiger’s Eye in their design. Tiger’s Eye is thought to bring protection and good luck to it’s wearer and is also associated with prosperity and clarity of mind.
You can only win once (if your name comes up twice an alternate will be chosen for the second pair) but we are going to run this contest a little differently than we have in the past. Instead of using the handy dandy little scripted box that we’ve used for the past few giveaways this one will be purely based on your comments and the random number generator over at random.org.
You will have the option to earn up to three entries, to maximize your chances of winning, but only the first entry is required to be entered in the contest. Please do not leave any comments on this post other than your entries. Be aware that winning comments will be checked to be certain that they actually kept up their end of the bargain so to speak.
Entries will only be accepted through 11:59 PM on Friday, March 20, 2009, the winner will be chosen on the morning of Saturday, March 21, 2009, and the winner will be announced later that same day.
Entry #1 (mandatory)
Visit Eternal Stardust Jewelry, then come back here and in comments share which item is your favorite … or …. what you would pick if you were to request a custom item from her shop. Do not forget to use a valid email address in the comments form so we can reach you if you win.
Entry #2 (optional)
Send a message via twitter to those in your network. Just cut and paste:
I entered a cool jewelry giveaway hosted by @mamakelly & @LadyRose. Two winners will be chosen. http://tinyurl.com/dneymj **
Then come back and leave a second comment that indicates that you have sent your tweet, including your twitter ID. This allows us to verify your entry as well as allows you to perhaps gain some new followers among our readers.
Entry #3 (optional)
Write a post talking about something about our site that you enjoy besides this or other giveaways, though if you want to mention those as well please feel free. Other than that all we ask is that at least once in the post you link to us by linking the words “pagan blog” to our main link http://2witches.com/blog.
Then come back and leave a third and final comment which includes a link to the aforementioned post. These posts will be left live in the comments not only to allow us to verify its content but to encourage other contestants to click and follow when they are done with their own entry.
I hope that you enjoy this giveaway, I have been beside myself with anticipation for more than a week waiting to post it. I wanted to wait until the New Moon so that the beginning and ending dates of this giveaway would be appropriate to the earrings being offered. May the weeks ahead be filled, for each of you (whether you enter or not), with new beginnings, new growth, and more blessings than you can count. Good luck to all of you and let the fun begin!
Mama Kelly
PS Don’t forget there’s still time to enter the Tarot reading giveaway.

CONGRATULATIONS

It is made with 8 strands of black satin cord, it’s round with a 3/8-inch diameter, and has silver-plated findings. According to Peggy of Lucky Girl Trading: Many people love to wear these in a choker-length, but longer looks lovely too!
