Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! 🐇 Happy first day of the month. Remember to salt your entrances and exits and blow cinnamon through your front door. I'm sure we could all use the protection from negative energy, as well as a bit of good luck. #witchsky

I used to love when my English teacher, Sister Donna Marie OSF, would bust out her guitar, and play a rockin version of the Our Father. 😆 She would have fit right in with these sisters.
