Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today |
||
| The Moon
The Moon represents those forces which remain largely hidden to us. The light of the moon provides some illumination down a path into the unknown, but not enough to brighten the landscape like The Sun, or cut through the dark shadows from which the unexpected may leap. However, The Moon is not without gifts we can use. She spurs our imagination and creativity. She can be a portal to knowledge and experience beyond the realm of our everyday lives. But Her offerings are not available to the feint of heart. To receive what The Moon offers one must have the courage to follow uncharted paths and the intelligence to find truths hidden in a bewildering setting rife with illusion. For those who can make this journey the reward may be finding the key to making their dreams come true. |

Daily Rune for 3/16
teiwaz : Tyr
Phonetic equivalent: t
- DIVINATORY MEANINGS:
- duty, discipline, responsibility, self-sacrifice, conflict, strength, a wound, physicality, the warrior path
- MAGICAL USES:
- protection, victory, strength, strengthening the will, healing a wound
- ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:
- Tyr and the Fenris Wolf, Odin’s ordeals
- ANALYSIS:
- Just as the second aett began with the cleansing destruction of hagalaz, so too does the third aett begin with a loss. However, hail is imposed by the Gods to force the sacrifice of those things which aren’t really vital to our development. Teiwaz, on the other hand, represents a voluntary sacrifice, made by someone who understands exactly what they are giving up and why.
Tyr’s sacrifice of his hand to allow the binding of the Fenris Wolf was a noble one, and notable in a pantheon of deities not known for their sense of duty and ethical responsibility. He is believed to be one of the oldest of the Norse Gods – a Bronze-age rock carving was found in Scandinavia depicting a one-handed warrior – and his position may well have originally superseded that of Odin. Tyr’s rune is also one of the oldest in the fuþark, having survived virtually unchanged from the earliest Bronze-age carvings. It represents all those qualities associated with the God: strength, heroism, duty and responsibility. But it also represents a deeper mystery – that of the wounded God. Like þurisaz, the pain of teiwaz focuses the attention and forces discipline. However, in this case the effect is more conscious and the wound carries a greater significance. Uruz has been confronted and bound, and the lessons of teiwaz and hagalaz have been learned. This is the path of the warrior.
Love yourself, love your neighbor, love your enemies, but begin with self-love. You cannot love others until you love yourself. You cannot share what you do not have. If you do not love yourself, you cannot love anyone else either. Don Miguel Ruiz

26: Containment of Potential
Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

In a current situation you have considerable reserves of energy and support to draw upon. This is the right time to channel creativity by collecting and organizing good ideas and plans. In this way, even large or extremely challenging undertakings can be successful.
A hidden source of power for the great is the study of the past. The lives of wise and successful men and women are like buried treasures of wisdom. Great good fortune comes to those who unearth these valuable treasures by applying the lessons of the ages to current events.

Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:
The Devil

This Tarot Deck: Hanson Roberts
The image which emerged in the mid-1700’s gives us a more sophisticated rendition — that of the “scapegoated Goddess,” whose esoteric name is Baphomet. Volcanic reserves of passion and primal desire empower her efforts to overcome the pressure of stereotyped roles and experience true freedom of soul. Tavaglione’s highly evolved image (Stella deck) portrays the magical formula for harnessing and transmuting primal and obsessive emotions into transformative energies. As a part of the Gnostic message of Tarot, this fearsome passion and power must be reintegrated into the personality, to fuel the soul’s passage from mortal to immortal.
Daily Horoscopes for 3/16

Someone who knows you very well may be pushing your emotional buttons today. Of course, your wisest move is to look the other way so you can sidestep any interaction that could erupt into an unpleasant encounter, but you probably won’t be able to hide your annoyance. Luckily, you should be able to turn this difficult situation around by transforming your anger into compassion. A little love and understanding will go a long way now toward making everyone happy.

You may get a feeling, as if it’s time to set the record straight. You are even ready for a confrontation, if necessary, but everyone seems to mellow as the day draws on. Be willing to set aside logic and simply ride the emotional waves that originate from within your subconscious mind. Although the relentless Leo Moon’s ambition can be scary, sharing an intimate experience can help you overcome your fears.

Being sure of what you want is one thing, but becoming overly attached to any particular outcome is likely to bring unhappiness. You have a special opportunity now to push past an associate’s judgment that’s been bringing you down. More importantly, you have the ability to use the power of positive thinking to turn a potentially obsessive approach into one that’s certainly more manageable.

The Leo Moon increases your ability to remain steadfast today, motivating you to be very loyal in love. Nevertheless, your current resistance to change may grow into an obstacle to intimacy. It’s risky to reveal your feelings, so you might just let the present moment pass without saying anything at all. Now, however, you have a chance to change an old pattern. Start tentatively, but stay focused on what is in your heart. Ultimately, your willingness to share your vulnerability can deepen your connection with someone you love.

You are able to feel the magic today, but a dynamic change in a relationship won’t likely happen until you’re willing to listen to your partner and receive the very same love you so easily give. Keep in mind that everything cannot always be fun. You’re intelligent enough to understand that opening your heart to love also means opening it to heartache. Fortunately, a highly charged emotional interaction can morph into a more comfortable one later on.

Today runs more smoothly if you remember to let the tension build until it reaches a critical mass on its own. However, you may try to shake things up to catalyze an unstable situation. But don’t push your luck by demanding that everyone stops and pays attention to you. Paradoxically, intentional avoidance of a tough issue can be just as dangerous as attempting to express it. Allow feelings to surface naturally without judging any of them as right or wrong.

You may be worn out from following the dramas of your friends and associates, yet somehow their stories have also become yours. It isn’t a simple task to separate yourself from all the interpersonal relationships that require your time and attention. Although your stress may not be easily resolved, there’s movement that brings you closer to an answer today. Don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Leaning on a trusted friend can help just enough to move things off of dead center.

You cannot escape from your powerful feelings today, even if it’s not easy integrating them into your day. Although it’s healthy to share what you want with someone you trust, it’s unfair to make him or her responsible to deliver your satisfaction. Staying somewhat detached from the outcome creates enough sacred space for an original solution to magically unfold.

You might assume that you can get your needs met without having to consider the consequences of your actions. However, you may be temporarily stuck in a tidal pool now, where everything you do has immediate ramifications. Thankfully, you can make informed choices that lead you to a fair compromise. However, you should be prepared to work harder than ever if you want to do the right thing.

You might attempt to resist the pressure to explore your feelings today, for this seems like a lot of work without much benefit in return. Unfortunately, your desire to hold on to the status quo could cost you dearly because of a lost opportunity. However, the real reward won’t likely be money or recognition. The good news is that you have a chance to experience spiritual growth, which can bring a kind of happiness that money cannot buy.

Having a simple discussion with a friend or partner today can unleash unexpected torrents of emotional content. Although this conversation may be constructive, it’s easy to slip into disagreement over your divergent needs. Extra attention, combined with awareness, helps you understand that you can have strong opposing perspectives while still supporting each other’s dreams. This mutual appreciation can reveal a treasure that will deepen your relationship.

Although it’s hard to understand the forces that brought you to this very moment, you’re very clear about what you want next. Unfortunately, circumstances may not be very forgiving now, offering you less leeway to respond to a tricky situation at work. Thankfully, you can make things easier on yourself by acknowledging your willingness to wait for satisfaction. Your patience is the key to ultimately getting what you want.

Seriousness belongs to the ego
and leads to self-importance.
Sincerity is of the heart,
it is totality,
it is a love affair with life.

Prayer for Japan
Prayer for Japan as They Continue toRescue, Recovery and Rebuilding
O gracious Goddess, we will never understand
the sorrows of the world, but by your grace we
will not turn away from them. Renew and sustain
in us the spirit of love that crosses miles. Cheer and
encourage those who labor to help the injured, the
homeless, the hungry and those in despair. Bless and
soften the hearts of those who would take advantage of
tragedy for their own profit, that they may come to know
where true joy is to be found. Unite us in prayer with all
those who look for help, and use us to come speedily to
them with the things that they need. We ask these things
in your name, Oh dear Goddess, we ask these things.
So Mote It Be.

1/4 fl. oz. = 2 drams =1/2 tbsp.
1/2 fl. oz. = 4 drams = 1 tbsp.

1 fl. oz. = 8 drams = 2 tbsp.
Incense
Many ancient writing clearly indicate that the use of incense has been used in connection with religious and magickal practices throughout the world. The ancients believed that certain scents had the quality too attract good spirits and to dispel the evil ones. Incense was burned not only to purify a place dedicated to God, but also to neutralize the offensive odor from burnt offerings.
There is an old belief that prayers were carried upward to the Gods with the rising incense smoke. This same belief was held by many American Indian tribes in connection with their sacred peace pipe. The Indian peace pipe was a method of burning incense during ceremonies because they often mixed herbs with a little tobacco.
Aside from this incense helps to create an atmosphere that is more conducive to proper meditation and debout prayers.
Charging the Mojo
Once the bag is complete:
- Light a match and plunge it into the bag, extinguishing it (Do not set your bag your bag or its contents on fire. Be very careful if the bag contains dried herbals or volatile essential oils)
- Spit in the bag and pull the string tight.
