Spirit-summoning Dream Spells

Spirit-summoning Dream Spells

 
Dreams are the simplest, most convenient venue to converse with Spirits of all kinds. Responses to petitions of all kinds most frequently occur in dreams. The spirits may not wait for you to make the first move, often their initial approach to you comes in dreams. Maybe they’ve been approaching you for years but you’ve been unable to pick up the messages. Allies and familiars of all kinds reveal themselves to you in your dreams: another good reason to maintain that dream journal.

Dream Oracle (3) Saint Swithin

Dream Oracle (3)

Saint Swithin
 
 
1. On Saint Swithin’s Eve, July 14th, cut the corners off a square of fine paper and burn them.
 
2. Using a new pen with red ink, write down the three things you most wish to know on the corner-less paper.
 
3. Fold the paper up, wrap three hairs from your head around it. Make it knot with each, reiterating one query with each.
 
4. Place this paper under your pillow for three nights and all will be revealed to you.

Angel-of-Dreams Assistance Spell

Are you, or is someone you care about, planning to fly soon? Take advantage of today’s energy to make a safe-travel spell. Wednesday is ruled by Mercury, the planet and god of travel. Cut out a bookmark-sized piece of heavy paper, and write on it:

Mercury of the silver wings,
messenger of divine words,
open the sky, part the clouds,
and keep me safe from all fell things.

Then cover the words with a mini-collage using pictures of birds, clouds, wings, feathers, airplanes, chariots, and so on. Use this as the bookmark in your in-flight reading material.

Astral Travel

Astral Projection, out of body experience, lucid dreaming
Don’t you want to know what the other side will be like?
We all leave our physical bodies when we go to sleep at night.
You may have thought you were dreaming when actually you out of body traveling around the astral planes.
For instance if you were dreaming in full blown color and maybe flying or falling.
In these scenarios you would be actually be astral projecting.
You can learn to consciously leave the body by using my porthole device or
you can use my dream control method, or maybe this method here.
Just so you know… there are many different methods to induce an out of body experience.
There is no best method. The best method is whatever works best for you.
Here is one simple method that is easy to learn.
Simply lay down with the lights off. Make sure you are completely relaxed.
Lie there and be quite and still, calm and clear your mind.
Imagine your astral body which may look like gray matter shaped in the form of your body.
Imagine it lifting and floating out of your body, floating up to the ceiling in your room.
Turn and look down and try to see you body lying there.
If you are successful you may want to stay in the room and float around a bit,
staying close to the body. Or you can choose to walk through walls and travel to
where ever you wish to go. You can fly there or you can will yourself there instantly.
Here are some pointers:
Watch what you think. Everything you think can manifest on the astral planes.
So you don’t want to be thinking about anything evil or you will attract it!
Anytime you think you are scared and or lost, just think of your body and you will be back in it in a flash.
Ever notice that when you are falling in a dream and you hit the bottom you always wake up quickly!
That is your astral body snapping back into place.
The use of drugs can lower your vibrations meaning you will not be able to travel to
higher astral planes where the vibrations are higher.
The reason you will want to travel higher on the astral planes is because you may have
to escape an attack by a lower vibrating entity. They can not travel to the higher planes.

Merry Meet & A Blessed Saturday to you and yours!

Good Saturday morning, my luvs! I hope everyone is having a great day so far. I wanted to let you know that today will be a little different from other Saturdays. Today, I am going to post just the Horoscopes, Tarot & Runes. Then I am going to add spell after spell on the blog. I haven’t added any new spells in a while. I feel like that is something that I need to do.

Now that you know what is going on, have a super, fantastic Saturday!

Ring Divination {Chaste Moon Spell}

Ring Divination

{Chaste Moon Spell}

This divination method is a variation of dactylomancy, which is an ancient form of divination that used rings. One method places gold or silver rings on the fingernails in ways that reflect the conjunctions of the planets. Another method involves using a wedding ring by either hanging it on a string like a pendulum or casting it in a bowl of water where the bottom has been mapped out so that where the ring lands determines its meaning in term of the divination.

You will need a ring that you wear around your finger for the spell. As you are getting ready to go to sleep, determine the aspect of your life that you want to address in the moon ring divination. It can either be a specific question or an area where you need insights as to what’s happening.

Drifting to sleep, twist the ring clockwise on your finger nine times while saying:

Ring around the moon

Circling stars through the sky

I’ll be dreaming soon

Asking this question why (ask your question).

Imagine your ring twirling around a giant image of the moon floating high in the sky. As the ring revolves around and around, you imagine stars within the ring sparkling like the off and on twinkle of lights that are continually changing color and intensity. Peer deep within the milky white orb of the moon, and begin your journey toward illuminating this aspect of your life. Write down all the impressions you receive.

Your Lunar LoveScopes for the Weekend of March 23 -25

 

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

All Fired Up

March 23 – 25

Friday is fired up by the frisky Aries Moon, stimulating interest in new places and faces. Taking risks by being more direct about feelings may rub some folks the wrong way, but it’s admirable to adopt such an honest approach to relationships. Eliminating games and guesswork about what you want clears away misconceptions and can take a partnership in a fresh direction or open the door to someone new.

Restlessness continues on Saturday as the impatience of the Aries Moon is kicked up by a solar conjunction to rebellious Uranus. A strong drive for independence and innovation is best met by giving everyone plenty of space. Any attempt to control people is likely to be met by resistance, so keeping things loose is a good way to keep the peace. Sudden shifts of mood are also possible, which can rattle a relationship or inspire an instant attraction to someone unusual.

Sunday should be calmer and quieter as the earthy Taurus Moon slows the pace and engages the senses. A big breakfast can be a yummy way to start the day, especially if you’re not in a hurry to go anywhere. Lounging around the house or relaxing in a beautiful natural setting opens hearts to life’s simple pleasures.

New Moon Report for March 23 – Mercury in Pisces

New Moon Report for March 23

Mercury in Pisces

Friday, March 23, 6:23 am PDT, 9:23 am EDT

Retrograde Mercury backs into Pisces like a drunk stumbling back into a bar or a sinner returning to the faith — regression and redemption are both possible. Minds often meander with the messenger planet in this fluid sign, yet Mercury’s reversal allows us to pick up important strands of information that may have slipped through our fingers during its recent transit. Psychic awareness grows and tender conversations heal wounded relationships as we recognize the connecting power of compassion.

Today Meditation for March 23

Dissolving Enmity

Whenever someone hurt or angers you, practice this meditation to bring compassion to the situation, in your mind conjure up the  other person. What was it about their actions that caused you distress?  Try to understand why they behaved the way they did. Can you think of times in your own life when you have done something similar? Recall how you felt at that time and why you believed in that way. From this perspective you may begin to see the other person not as fundamentally flawed, but as a fellow human being caught in a bad moment. As you soften to them, notice if our perception of the situation alters, becoming less black and white. With the other person no longer cast in the role of villain, you maybe able to appreciate more clearly your own part in the drama.

Building the Shield – Preliminary Cleansing

Building the Shield

Preliminary Cleansing

When building your first shield, it seems rather ridiculous to lock in any negative energies you may be carrying with you currently. Therefore, a preliminary cleansing, as follows:

Stand in a quiet place and center your energies. Visualize a gleaming sharp sword in your hand. Use it joyously, vigorously slicing through the air close to your body on all sides, over your head and under your feet. As you slash, visualize all unfriendly or negative ties being severed and the ends shriveling away to nothing. Do not be specific — this tie, that tie — all unfriendly ties are being cut! Note that friendly and unfriendly ties exist on different planes, so you can damage the friendly ties — although you may be surprised that ties you through were friendly aren’t — and vice versa. It isn’t necessary to do this every time you work on your shields, although a once-a-year cleansing and general housecleaning couldn’t hurt.

Other helpful rituals include: The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram; The Middle Pillar; the Kabalistic Cross; any other cleansing/grounding rituals you may be aware of.

Shielding for Beginners

Shielding for Beginners　

A psychic shield is a non-material substance/force/power with which you surround yourself for protection. Many types of force can be called into play in its construction, any many forms can be used, all at your discretion. It’s important that a friend, instructor or adept not do this for you; your shield will be with you permanently and you need to have the intimate connection that creating your own provides.

Why make a shield? The best reason is for protection against psychic flak of all kinds, especially important when you are first starting down the Path, and aren’t yet well-versed in defensive measures. Its protection from mind-games and psychic vampires and a good shield helps you to separate mundane flak from psychic flak. It exercises the faculties of self-reliance and visualization. All told, it’s one of the most essential tools of the working witch.

What do I need to know about shields? Your shield is your basic piece of protection/comfort/defense. It is a permanent part of you, and something like wearing a Circle like a second skin. It should be flexible and semi-permeable, moving and growing with you, and breathing with your energy usage. Be aware that what you visualize when you start out is what will be there, but that the shield will probably change of its own accord to keep up with your changing capabilities and needs.

And we can’t forget the Precious Pup of the Day for March 22!

Lacy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lacy
 Age: Three and half months old
Gender: Female Breed: Dog
Home: Houston, Texas, USA
This is Lacy! I adopted her from the Houston SPCA when she was just two months old! I knew she was mine within five minutes of arriving there. She came from an overcrowded home and she loves having my apartment all to herself! Lacy enjoys long walks along the Houston bayou, visits to the dog park, hanging out of my car window, sleeping after visits to the dog park, sitting in buckets of water, chewing bones, getting treats and learning to roll over! She is extremely smart and knows it too! She likes to ignore me when we are training as if to say “Mom seriously? We have done this already!”

She enjoys sleeping in odd spots in the house like under chairs and at the top of the couch. Lacy has lots of energy and is a very independent puppy. Though when she wants to she follows me from room to room in my apartment. She loves to cuddle and sleep at my feet each night as well as let me know when I need to stop doing homework by laying on it. She is a sweet heart in every way and she is my best friend, though she gets into her fair share of messes. Her next trick we are working on is “play dead”. Wish her luck!

Special Kitty of the Day for March 22

Autumn, the Cat of the Day
Name: Autumn
 Age: Five years old
Gender: Female
 Kind: Tortoiseshell
Home: New Jersey, USA
Ihad lost my previous cat after sixteen years and she was actually the Cat of the Day on Oct. 5, 1998, her name wasMisty. I was so heartbroken and devastated that I wanted to adopt another kitty, it was just too lonely for me.

I went to a shelter and saw Autumn and fell in love with her, always wanted a Tortie. She was almost three years old at the time. I looked at the other kitties but my mind was still on Autumn so she came home with me a few days later. The hurt of losing Misty is still with me but having Autumn has helped mend my broken heart. This is what makes her special, she helped me give love to another kitty.

Autumn was not an easy cat to get close too. She was very shy and very afraid of everything. I could not even walk towards her without her running and hiding. She has been with me for three years now and still runs from me at times, she doesn’t trust anyone. She will sit on my lap and watch TV with me and she loves to play with the feather wand.

The worst thing is I cannot get her into the carrier when going to the vet. I have had to cancel many appointments because of this. She is a very tough kitty, but I love her very much.

Woooo! WiLd PeT oF tHe DaY fOr March 22

Puck, the Pet of the Day
Name: Puck
 Age: Four and a half years old
Gender: Male
 Kind: Black-headed Caique
Home: Ventura, California, USA
Here are some pictures of Puck. He is very expressive and an excellent communicator. He does talk a little human, but his main forms of communication are vocalizations, and body language. If he’s happy or excited, he lets you know. If he’s angry, he lets you know. If he’s sleepy, he makes his “bedtime noises.” If he’s feeling frisky, he also lets you know. There’s never a dull moment with this little guy!

His favorite pastimes include chewing on things he’s not supposed to, shredding tissues, hair styling, eating, staying up late, sleeping late, and snuggling. I have to be careful about leaving him unattended though. One time I left him alone for five seconds, and when I came back, two keys were missing from my keyboard, some stuff was knocked over, and he was in the process of climbing up my speaker cables like a little mountain climber. More recently, he destroyed my QWERTY keyboard on my phone; and even more recently, he decided that antique tables are just as fun to chip as wooden toys.

When I was shopping for a bird, I first met with another bird, who was totally sweet. Something just felt wrong though, so I didn’t take it. Next, I met Puck. He jumped into my arms and started making kissy sounds and wolf whistles. I took him home.

He keeps my on my toes, and brings me a lot of joy and companionship. Heloves meeting new people. He loves going everywhere with me, and everybody seems to love him. He also loves spending time outside. He has an outdoor cage to spend time in, and sometimes I let him play and climb around in edible plants. Lavender is one of his favorite bushes (he likes to chew up the flowers). He loves to go to parties and get attention from multiple people at once. On Thanksgiving, he had his own plate. On Halloween I rubbed raspberries on him to look like blood, and he went as a zombie. I even took him through a scary haunted house with me, which he seemed to enjoy. He’s tons of fun!
