Today’s Tarot Card for 2/8

Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:

Judgment

This Tarot Deck: Visconti-Sforza

General Meaning: What has traditionally been known as the Judgement card, sometimes entitled Resurrection, represents the great reunion that the ancients believed would happen once in every age. This was the time when souls are harvested and taken Home to their place of origin, outside the solar system. Then the World is seeded with a batch of new souls and the process starts over.

From a modern point of view, this great reunion — which includes every personality that you have ever been and every soul that you have done deep work with — reunites to consciously complete the process. In a way, we symbolically celebrate this returning to center every year on our birthday.

In personal terms, the Judgment cards points to freedom from inner conflicts, and so clear a channel, that the buried talents and gifts of past incarnations can come through an individual in this lifetime. This card counsels you to trust the process of opening yourself, because what emerges is of consistently high quality. You can effortlessly manifest as a multi-dimensional being, and assist in evoking that response from others.

Chiron in Pisces

Tuesday, February 8, 12:10 pm PST, 3:10 pm EST

Chiron’s presence in Astrology’s most tender and compassionate sign brings out the wounded healer in all of us. Empathy grows and reduces the barriers between us. However, a tendency to focus on suffering can make us all sound like victims. Helping one another is a gift of this transit when we recognize the spiritual wholeness that connects us all rather than simply bemoaning our broken parts.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Those closest to you now may not realize how sensitive you are because you are able to cover your insecurities with a smokescreen of hard work.

Ultimately, it’s better to show your strength by acknowledging your limitations. Be smart and do fewer things with greater competence.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your energy could be a bit scattered now, so it’s a smart idea to take a few deep breaths and slow down. The rapid-response Aries Moon is now in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, amplifying the hectic pace of your life. Your plans may run pretty smoothly at first, but something will unravel your tightly-woven schedule. Establishing firm priorities early in the day can help to keep you on track.

The Charge of the Star Goddess (Part II)

Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess. She, in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven, whose body encircleth the universe.

I, who am the beauty of the Green Earth and the White Moon amongst the stars and the mystery of the Waters and the desire of the heart of man;  I call unto thy soul to arise and come unto me. For I am the Soul of Nature who giveth life to the universe; from me all things proceed and unto me all things must return You, beloved of the Gods and men, whose innermost divine self shall be enfolded in the raptures of the Infinite, let my worship be in the heart. Rejoiceth, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; therefore, let there be beauty and strength–power and compassion–honor and humility, mirth and reverence–within you. And thou who thinkest to seek me, know that thy seeking and yearning avail thee not, unless thou knowest the mystery–that if that which thou seekest thou findeth not within thyself, thou will never find it without thee. For behold!I have been with thee from the beginning and I am that which is attained at the end of desire!

The Charge (Part I)

Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who was of old, called amongst men, Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arionhod, Bride, and by many other names.

At mine Altar, the youths of Lacedemon in Sparta made due sacrifice. Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month and better it be when the Moon is Full, then shall ye assemble in some secret place and adore the Spirit of Me, who am Queen of all the Witcheries. There shall ye assemble, who are feign to learn all sorceries who have not as yet won my deepest secrets. To these will I teach that which is as yet unknown. And ye shall be free from all slavery and as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall sing, feast, and make music, all in my presence. For mine is the ecstasy of the Spirit and mine is also joy on earth. For my Law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideals, strive ever towards them. Let none stop you or turn you aside. For mine is the secret that upon the door of youth and mine is the Cup of the Wine of Life and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of Immorality I am the Gracious Goddess who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man upon earth. I give the knowledge of the Spirit Eternal, and beyond death I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before. Nor do I demand aught or sacrifice, for behold I am the Mother of all things and my love is poured out upon the earth.

Charge Of The Goddess

The Charge of the Goddess is one of the most popular ritual invocation in modern Witchcraft and Wicca. The foundation of the work comes from a book titled Aradia – Gospel of the Witches, written by Charles Leland and published in 1899. Sometime after 1955, Doreen Valiente, one of the most gifted poets and priestesses of Wicca in our time, used the information in poetry while assisting Gerald Gardner in compiling the material later used for Gardnerian instruction. The version you will find here first appeared in The Grimoire of Lady Sheba, first published in 1972. In later years, the Charge was broken into two parts, with the second section standing alone and titled “The Charge of the Star Goddess.”

Depending upon personal or coven choice, the Charge is read:

  • At the beginning of a ritual. Members of the coven may practice deep breathing, grounding and centering, or meditation

  • Before communion.

  • At the end of a ritual, as a closure

  • At some point during an initiation rite.

  • During daily devotion

  • During personal spellworking.
