THE CAULDRON AND THE KNIFE

THE CAULDRON AND THE KNIFE
Just before going to bed, fill a cauldron (or iron bucket, bowl or pot) with water and place it inside your house near the front door. Take a very sharp knife or Athame and place it point-down into the water, saying:

“Into the water I place this blade,
To guard against the thief and shade.
May no flesh nor astral shell
Enter this place wherein I dwell”

This is a good protection spell, and can be performed every evening. In the morning, remove and dry the knife, and place it somewhere safe. Then, without touching it, pour the water outside, (or down the drain if necessary) and put the cauldron away. It probably wouldn’t be
a good idea to do this spell if you’re expecting company, as it could be dangerous (and wet). You can do this at each door if desired, and protects against more than corporeal forms.

Your Power Element

Your Power Element

 

How do you determine your power element? By paying attention. Go to places where you can experience each element intimately. Stand in a strong wind, sit by an ocean or waterfall, watch a blazing fire, or walk into a cave or forest. Which location makes you feel the most alive, nurtured, and content? Pay attention to your senses—do they feel more keen or activated in one place than another?

Once you determine which element energizes you, you can find ways to plug into that source of renewable energy any time you need a boost. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Earth: Work in the garden. Sit on the ground while holding brown or black gemstones in your hand. Take long walks in the woods. Keep potted plants in your home and workplace. Eat lots of root vegetables: potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets.

Air: Open the windows. Practice yogic breathing exercises. Go to a windy location and let the breeze embrace you. Watch birds. If you work in a building where you can’t open the windows, put an electric fan near your work station.

Fire: Get out in the sunshine. Light candles. Build a fire. Sit next to a heater. Dance to lively music, around a ritual fire if possible. Drink hot beverages and eat spicy foods.

Water: Go swimming. Sit beside a body of water. Take long baths or showers. Play in the rain. Drink lots of spring water.

You can also connect with these elements through meditation. Envision yourself in a setting that corresponds to your power element. Or visualize yourself surrounded by the element in its most fundamental state. As you breathe, imagine you are inhaling that nourishing force into your body where it invigorates you on all levels.

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for May 13th is 19: Approach of Spring

19: Approach of Spring

Monday, May 13th, 2013

hexagram09

 

 

 

 

It is as if spring is approaching. Good times ahead feel inevitable; there is vitality in the air. This is a most auspicious time. Like a snake emerging from hibernation, negative forces are barely stirring and can be effectively controlled. This is a time of hopeful progress, and must be used to best advantage. When approaching good fortune, paying attention to what is happening now earns great dividends. All in all, a clear road lies ahead.

Take some action now, for at some point this ripe opportunity for advancement will be reversed. No spring lasts forever. It’s wise to stay alert and note the changing seasons and the energy they call for.

Spring is the season of new relationships. In the bounty of good times, new bonds form effortlessly. Relationships born in spring can serve well to warm the following autumn and winter.

Today’s Tarot Card for May 13th is The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man

Monday, May 13th, 2013

Traditionally, the card known as the Hanged Man usually indicates a lack of ability to help oneself through independent action. This energy is arrested and awaiting judgment. With this card, there is no avenue for the will to regain control until the situation has passed.

This represents a good time to be philosophical, to study and meditate upon the position you find yourself in, and form resolutions for the moment you become free again. Only those who possess wisdom, patience and optimism will be able to see through limitations, including possible humiliation, to grasp the inspiring lesson one can gain from such an experience.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 12

Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 12

“[The Old People] would gather words as they walked a sacred path across the Earth, leaving nothing behind but prayers and offerings.”

—- Cleone Thunder, NORTHERN ARAPAHOE

Whenever we walk on the Earth, we should pay attention to what is going on. Too often our minds are somewhere else, thinking about the past or thinking about the future. When we do this, we are missing important lessons. The Earth is a constant flow of lessons and learning, which also include a constant flow of positive feelings. If we are aware as we walk, we will gather words for our lives, the lessons to help our children; we will gather feelings of interconnectedness and calmness. When we experience this, we should say or think thoughts of gratitude. When we do this, the next person to walk on the sacred path will benefit even more.

My Creator, today, let me be aware of the sacred path.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for May 9th – ‘National Moscato Day’

Now here’s a day I can really drink to — literally. It’s ‘National Moscato Day,’ a time to toast a clean, crisp varietal that has risen in popularity over the last few years. Ancient legend tells us that grapes have always been considered a magical fruit. Most Egyptian tombs were stocked with grapes, as were Roman burial sites. Some ancient advice says that if you surround a bunch of green grapes with silver coins and visualize money coming into your life, then it will. I’ll drink to that! Moscato, of course!

Life As The Witch – Dealing With Spiritually Contaminated Dwellings

Gothic Comments

Dwelling With Spiritually Contaminated Dwellings

Sometimes a dwelling simply has a bad feeling or a bad spirit about it, which can cause you to feel uneasy.

A woman once rented an apartment next to a friend of hers. During the first few weeks in her new home, she began having the most horrific, very realistic nightmares. These were so real that she wasn’t sure if she was a wake or asleep. One of the characteristics of the nightmares was being pulled by her legs up into the air.

She told her friend that she was having these terrible nightmares about being dragged and tortured. That’s when her friend told her that the apartment had once been the residence of a mutual acquaintance of theirs who had barely survived being abducted from that apartment by her boyfriend and another man, robbed, raped and left for dead. She managed somehow to survive, but was in very poor health. This apartment was the one she was living in with her boyfriend when the incident happened.

If you are living in an apartment, house or other dwelling where you are experiencing violent nightmares, this is a sign that something bad may have taken place there and the energy from it is lingering. It must be spiritually cleansed, sometimes multiple times, to get rid of the problem.

 

 

Sage and Sweet Grass to Purge Unwholesome Energies

Smudge your home with sage and sweet grass. Begin by lighting a bundle of White Sage. Go from room to room and command all the negative energies and bad spirits to leave. Let the smoke go into every nook and cranny.

Follow it with the sweet grass and invite your guardian spirits back.

Then, take your finger and make a pentagram in the air as a protective shield on every door, window, fireplace or other opening to the outside.

Sometimes this doesn’t work. If the spirits or energies in the house are of a more stubborn nature, you will have to try a different procedure.

If you suspect you are dealing with something demonic, call upon the archangel Michael to protect your home. Light a red candle and visualize Michael with his sword, driving away the evil spirits. Then ask for his protection. He will place his angelic soldiers all around your apartment or house. Let this vision be so powerful that you can see them with your mind’s eye.
