Tarot lessons
I'm excited, I'm starting tarot lessons soon. Tomorrow I'm getting things to study and then the lessons begin. The woman who is going to teach me is organizing a metaphysical fair which is really cool. I wish they had one in the part of GA where I live. I'm so glad I'll finally be able to read Tarot and not just do it haltingly yay!

Tarot reading I won
Current Events: Four of Pentacles
Aid/Hinder: Queen of Pentacles w/Six of Pentacles
Recent Past: Seven of Cups, Justice
Near Future: Eight of Wands, Princess of Pentacles w/Nine of Pentacles
Internal: Eight of Cups w/Two of Cups
Affect on Others: Ten of Cups (inv)
Effect on You: Four of Wands
Potential Outcome: Six of Wands
I used the Celtic tarot deck for your reading. I'm not sure how familiar you are with tarot, so I will just give a brief overview. The tarot is divided first into two halves, the Major and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana is 21 cards from 0 to 21 which emphasize significant areas of your life and events which are affecting you much more strongly. The Minor Arcana is divided into four sections, in a similar fashion to that of a regular deck of cards. The suits are Cups, Wands, Swords and Pentacles, in the deck that I used, other decks will use Staves and Coins instead of Wands and Pentacles.
Your current situation is one of trying to save money to make sure that you have enough. This is being hampered a bit, despite your focus on money and your ability to be down-to-earth about the situation, you're still bleeding resources. At this time I can't tell if this is that you have a lot of debt, or if it's because you've been helping others out, but either way it's a difficult situation to be in. I'm sure more will become clear as I get further into the reading.
Your recent past there are feelings of being stuck, flailing with the oars in the boat and not getting anywhere, and also of having to spend a lot of time dealing with complicated and taxing issues of possibly a legal nature, but definitely ones where you're having to trim the fat and work out things that you can do without. Justice is sacrifice to get ahead, you know that you're going to be better off once you get out the other side, but at the same time you're going to have a tough road when you first axe some things or people out of your sphere of influence.
Your near future shows rebuilding, you're finding a better place to live, a better environment to study or work in, and creating things that are going to be beneficial to you. There's a youthfulness to your qualities as you move forward in this manner, you feel re-energized and at the same time you're going to be able to reap benefits fiscally, the nine shows accomplishing things and becoming more comfortable in that way.
Your internal focus, here two cards came out together, this shows learning how to manage things better, learning what you can and helping yourself, and also feeling disillusioned about the way you're running things it also shows thinking about a romantic partnership that you have, this is an equal focus for you, and rectifying things there may help you sort out the rest of your mess.
There seems to be a lot of strife coming from you, because of the stress you're under, and you're finding it difficult to put positive things into your environment. However, you're being successful. You're getting rewarded, and you're going to be successful.
There's a chance of movement. The Six is a card of changing and achieving. Things are moving upwards for you, there's even a chance of physically moving from one job to another, from one house to another. Either way there's progression, there's being able to move past things that have been holding you back and on to better things.

Covens
So I'm looking for a coven to join or just hang around. I'm not sure I want to be IN a coven or if I want to remain a solitary. Two of the searches that came up that I like the best are http://www.meetup.com/savannahgoddess/ which I've looked over and joined. The other is http://www.witchvox.com/vn/vn_detail/dt_gr.html?a=usga&id=33934 which I haven't had a chance to look over yet. My boyfriend and I are probably moving about three hours away in a few months so I wouldn't be able to get attached to any group. And I don't want to start looking where we are moving because I will need time to settle in and find a job etc.
Is anyone reading this in a coven? If so what do you like about it? What do you dislike?

Work
I'm still working on getting this blog up and running. I was hoping to get people to comment and leave ideas. What do you expect from a Wiccan blog? What do you think I should have on here?
A spell for money
This is a money pouch that I have personally used and had success with:
You will need:
A green pouch or bag you've made
A gold cord
Pine
Basil
Rice or beans
green candle
Rosemary
Incense
A spell or prayer written to Fortuna
Add everything to the bag except for the candle and incense
Go to a North Facing wall, light the candle and incense.
Bless the bag by waving it through the smoke and say your spell.
Visualize what you want (not what you need) if you would like you can put slips of paper with what you need in the bag. Then tie the cord around the mouth of the bag three times.
Close blessing with your thanks to deity of choice .
Leave a small offering of flowers
Save the candle for this use only. If you feel the need to recharge the bag relight the candle and start the blessing over.
