One Final Word…..

Posted on May 23, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

Blessed Be Comments
I am not a radical Witch,

But I am a simple Witch,

with simple ways.

I want to live life to the

fullest. Grasp every moment,

every minute, squeeze every

second. For who knows

tomorrow, we might not have

these freedom. For we might

not be here to enjoy all the

gifts the Goddess has given us.

The War is not over, it has just begun.

We are the targets.

We have bright red bull eyes painted

on our backs.

This simple Witch refuses to be

a target for anyone.

As for me, my friend, I will fight

these people with every ounce of

strength I have.

As Witches it is time for us to

take our rightful place in history.

With the Goddess’ help, this time we won’t

be the victims but the VICTORS!

Your Lucky Charm for Today

Posted on May 17, 2013 by mistressofthemyst

Your Lucky Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:   

This aspect is affected by a narrowly averted dangerous situation. The dangerous event could be a personal confrontation or even an accident you narrowly miss.

General Description:     

In ancient times inscribed charms were believed to possess great potency and influence. Some Egyptian written amulets have been found dating as far back as the 12th dynasty, some 2,500 years B.C. and at the present time great numbers of these inscribed amulets are still in use in Egypt. Our picture is of one of the Greco-Roman period dating 400 years B.C. It is a formula which gives instructions as to the course to follow in the outer world in order to obtain bliss and immortality, and worn to avert danger.

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for May 10th is 61: Centering in Truth

Posted on May 10, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

61: Centering in Truth

Friday, May 10th, 2013

hexagram09

 

 

 

 

Truth involves establishing an aware relationship between your inner core and the circumstances in your life. Centering in truth involves the ability to perceive a fundamental wisdom, reflected within yourself and the people you know.

Truth is transformed into power when you dissolve prejudice and make yourself receptive to the world as it really is. Truth’s power can be a remarkable force indeed — yet is rarer than generally imagined. It can be maintained only by cultivating a genuine openness to things as they are — a willingness to see, rather than merely look.

Whenever your inner life is clouded, your influence in the world is under a shadow. If you are fearful, you will be attacked; if you cloak genuine mysteries in dogma, opportunities for new insight will be lost. If you vacillate in upholding your principles, you will be tested. Yet, when you are firm and strong, the power of truth can break through even the most stubborn minds.

In any debate, the power to perceive the truth in the other side’s argument is essential to achieving success. It is possible to influence even the most difficult people, or improve the most difficult circumstance, through the power of universal truth — for unvarnished truth is something to which all things naturally respond. Get in touch with the part of yourself that is aware of this universal force. Cultivate this inner resource, and you will become adept at using it to bond with others to support a common purpose.

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

Posted on May 9, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

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!

Daily Motivator for May 6th – Into the resistance

Posted on May 6, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

Into the resistance

When outside resistance is pushing against you, what’s the best direction to  go? Without question, the best direction is straight toward the resistance,  because you’ll also be headed straight toward your goal.

The faster you’re going in the direction you have chosen to go, the more  resistance you’ll encounter. Stick your hand out the car window when you’re  driving at freeway speed, and you’ll feel a whole lot more resistance than you  will when sitting still.

The challenges and setbacks will push against you, and yet they also confirm  that you’re making meaningful effort and progress. Keep making that effort,  heading into the resistance, and you’ll soon make it through.

Don’t resist the resistance or turn and run from it. Face the resistance,  fully focused on your goal, and step by step, inch by inch, day by day, move  positively forward.

When you’re encountering great resistance, you have the opportunity to create  great value. With a solid and steady commitment, you can do whatever must be  done.

On the other side of the resistance is the reward you seek. Get yourself  through it, and get to the value you’ve chosen to create.

— Ralph Marston

Daily Feng Shui Tip for May 6th – ‘Buddha Day’

Posted on May 6, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

‘Buddha Day’ is the perfect time to share advice on how best to display a symbol or statue of Buddha inside your living space. You can position it facing the formal front door with the intention that he will invite and welcome health, happiness, prosperity and more into your home. Buddha can also be positioned in the center of the home facing the front entryway in order to bring blessings and boons into your life. Just remember that any statue of any deity, including Buddha, should never sit on the floor, and should always be raised. It should never be placed in the bedroom, either. Always keep images, statues or symbols of your deities in a sacred and special place and they will send you sacred and special energies in return.

Today’s Tarot Card for May 5th is The Emperor

Posted on May 5, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

The Emperor

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

In the most practical terms, what has traditionally been called the Emperor card represents the highest leadership, a head of state or the most exemplary and powerful person in the realm. This archetypal ruler is responsible for the positive working out of affairs of a society or community, which are directly proportional to his well being and happiness.

The more enlightenment and cosmic perspective this energy brings, the better life is for all. The Emperor archetype masters the world of matter and physical manifestation. When you apply this card to your situation, acknowledge your potentials for mastery. Reinforce a sense of sovereignty within yourself, despite any self-limiting beliefs, habits or appearances to the contrary

Calendar of the Sun for April 23rd

Posted on April 23, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

Calendar of the Sun

23 Eostremonath

Walpurgisnacht Day I

Color: Brown
Element: Air
Altar: Upon a brown cloth light a single white candle, an empty horn, dust, and the rune Raido.
Offering: Make a commitment to seek something.
Daily Meal: Simple, like a road meal.

Walpurgisnacht Invocation I

Long, long ago, Odhinn the All-Father,
The Lord of Asgard and Keeper of Valhalla,
Stepped down from his great throne
Came down from his heavenly place,
Stripped off his divine raiment,
Laid down his sword and weapons,
And spoke unto those around him,
“There is more than this to life.
There is more than this day and night,
More than this wealth and might,
More than this poverty and hardship,
And I will find it.
I will seek wisdom wherever it might be,
Even in the deepest and darkest places,
Even if it comes hard to me,
Even if it kills me in the end,
I will not count this quest as wasted,
For a great Wyrd calls me out of my life,
And I must give up everything that I have
To gain everything I ever wanted.”
And saying this, he put on a ragged cloak
And walked away into the wilderness,
And all the entreaties of his loved ones
Were nothing to the wind in his ears
And the pull on his spirit.
For sometimes it is like this in life,
That the Spirit calls, and it will not be denied
Even when what it asks is so hard
That you fear it will be the death of you.
Chant:
Oh we are on the road
And the road is winding far away
(Blow out the single candle and leave.)

[Pagan Book of Hours]
