Blessings To You On The Beautiful Monday Morning!

Good Morning, my dear friends! How is everyone today? I am feeling a little better but still sick. I get tickled when I get sick. I have Kiki, Razzy and Stinker all hovering over me like I’m dying. If only they had arms and hands, lol! They are sweet though. Every time I cough or sneeze, Kiki runs and gets hubby. He comes in here and want to know what is wrong. Kiki is so protective it isn’t even funny. If I fall asleep at the computer, asleep in the floor, up sleep walking, you name and I ain’t suppose to be doing it, she runs and gets hubby. He told me that was a good thing, I guess it is. But he doesn’t realize, some of those places I fall asleep at, I am sooooo comfortable, lol! Now as far as the sleep walking goes, she can go and get him all night long. The doctors’ have tried medication and everything possible. I still sleep walk. That last time I can remember sleep walking, I woke myself up out on the porch. If it hadn’t been for a loose board that I stumped my toe on I would probably ended up in jail. I woke up with a rifle in my hand and I had intentions of shooting the dogs next door. Which is totally against my nature! I remember going to bed angry because the dogs wouldn’t stop barking. I guess while I was asleep, I just kept dwelling on it. I finally just got up in my sleep and grabbed the rifle and off I went. I can guarantee you, hubby has all the guns with him now, lmao! Must be afraid I might mistake him for a doggie, lol!

Well I am going to get busy. If you have a moment today, stop by the Apothecary. I am going to be putting some spell kits on there. They are going to reasonable, I promise. The biggest part of them range from 5 to 7 dollars.

Going to fly for now! Have a super, fantastic Monday and remember to keep all our friends down South in your prayers.

Goddess Bless You & Yours,
Lady A

Basic Sage Cleansing

Basic Sage Cleansing

Items You Will Need:

  • Sage,
  • Feather (Optional),
  • Charcoal Disc.

The Spell:

Before you start, close all of your windows and doors.

Start by lighting up your charcoal disc.   Wait until it turns white (that’s when you know it’s ready to start smudging!   Drop some slightly crushed Sage on it and wait for it to start smoking.   When it starts smoking, go to each room and fill the room with the smoke.   While you are filling the rooms, you can inhale a small amount of the smoke to cleanse yourself.

As you step into each room and with a commanding voice chant the following:

I cleanse this room of all negativity!   Only love and light may enter!

Pay attention to the smoke, because when it turns black it means that in that room, there is that certain negativity that you wish to dispose of.   When you went through all the rooms, return to the room where the smoke turned black and re-do this, until the smoke has turned back to grey!

BREAKING A BINDING SPELL

BREAKING A BINDING SPELL

Items You Will Need:

  • bit of your own hair
  • a small bowl.
  • 3 candles, 1 red, 1 white and 1 green.
  • a fire safe bowl or incense brazier,
  • piece of charcoal
  • myrrh
  • patchouli
  • sandalwood
  • prick your right index finger.
  • Squeeze three drops of blood

The Spell:

Some binding spells can cause physical manifestations.
You feel as if invisible strands of hair or thin strings are wrapped around you.
You can’t see them but you can feel them and nothing you do can make that sensation stop.
Here is a way to dispel a binding.
Cut a bit of your own hair and set it in a small bowl.
Light 3 candles, 1 red, 1 white and 1 green. In a fire safe bowl or incense brazier, light a piece of charcoal and add some myrrh, patchouli and sandalwood incense (powdered kind not cone or stick). Take a sterile needle or pin and prick your right index finger.
Squeeze three drops of blood into the smoldering incense.
As you drop the hair onto the lit incense repeat these words:
With blood, candle and scent times three
No longer shall this binding be
Free to live and free to soar
Let me leave the house once more.
As I burn this hair, a part of me
Let my heart and soul be free!
And for those who doth cast despair
Binding me with sightless hair
I send to them this well-earned curse
Let their evil spell reverse!
Teach them mercy and love’s sweet gift
Once learned, this simple spell shall lift.
As is my will, so mote it be!
Let the incense burn out and scatter the ashes outside.
Lifting the binding spell should take care of the problem. Keep an eye on those around you. Someone who wished you ill will start to experience the torment they put you through.
Once they understand that what they did was wrong, then the sensation will fade and they will be back to normal.

Free of Past Pain Spell

Free of Past Pain Spell

Items You Will Need:

  • 1 green candle
  • 1 blue candle
  • 1 white candle
  • Paper
  • Pen/pencil
  • 1 black ribbon

The Spell:

Light the candles and write on the paper all the pains of your past that still bother you. Roll up the paper and tie it off with the black ribbon. Chant;

”The past has no power over me. I release the pain, I am free.”

Burn the paper and the ribbon over the flames of all three candles and before the fire reaches your hand cast the paper onto the ground. The moment you feel heat the paper should be cast down. Let the fire burn out on it’s own, but keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t spread to other things.   I suggest casting this spell on dirt or gravel so as not to start a wild fire.

Reversal spell

Reversal spell

Items You Will Need:

None, just focus on the spell.

The Spell:

First off, think about the last spell you cast, because this only works for your most recent spell, hex, curse, whatever you did.

Just think about the actual magic you performed, then think about how it went wrong. This should take no more than 20 seconds AT THE MOST. Now say this in a clear voice in these EXACT words without stuttering, mumbling, getting your tongue twisted, etc.:

My spell went wrong,
Please reverse it,
Don’t mess it up,
And don’t pervert it.

To Know the Child Within

To Know the Child Within

Items You Will Need:

  • Green or blue candle to signify healing
  • An incense or essential oil which reminds you of -your childhood
  • Doll or poppet to signify the child you once were
  • Salt water
  • White cloth
  • Your altar, which could just be a table which you
  • dedicate to this purpose

The Spell:

Light your candle and the incense.

  •   Choose a particularly good childhood-memory.
  •   Hold the poppet in your arms and think -about the child you once were.
  •   Now treat the poppet as though it were a-child.
  •   Say:

I name you [use your own childhood name or

nickname]

  •   Hold the poppet in your arms, croon to it, -rock it, and talk to it.
  •   Tell it everything you would have liked to -hear as a child.
  •   Imagine that it talks to you and tells you how-it feels and what it wants.
  •   You may even hear your own childish voice.
  •   Let your own voice change in response. Play -with the poppet.
  •   Now become aware of your adult self again.
  •   Sprinkle the doll with a little salt water to -cleanse away the negative past.
  •   Raise your own energy by whatever method -you prefer – breathing, colour, a brief-meditation or an appeal to the gods.
  •   Visualize yourself pouring that positive-energy into the doll, which represents your-own inner self.
  •   Imagine the child you would have liked to-have been, and project that image into your -doll.
  •   Continue until you can feel a change in the -energy and you feel at peace.
  •   During that time you may find that you are-crying or laughing just like a child. This is-simply a release of energy and is perfectly-acceptable.
  •   You may find that the poppet or doll begins to -feel vibrant and alive, glowing with white-light and love.
  •   Kiss the poppet or doll.
  •   Wrap it in white cloth as you would a baby -and lay it to rest on your altar.
  •   Leave the candle to burn out.
  •   Leave your sacred space secure.

    It is important that you give yourself time now to=return to normal, so you will need to spend a little-time just appreciating the person you have become.Ground yourself by whatever method you choose, touching the ground, taking a walk, having a bath or-whatever you prefer. A nurturing activity such as-cooking is also good. You will probably find after this-technique that you tend to dream somewhat vividly, as-you uncover some of the joys and hurts of childhood.

Breaking the Hold Someone has Over You

Breaking the Hold Someone has Over You

Items You Will Need:

A strong visual image of the link between you and the other person

A cleansing incense (such as frankincense, copal or rosemary)

The Spell:

Your image must be one that you feel you can relate to fully. Perhaps the easiest to see is in the form of a rope joining the two of you together.

  •   If you are good at seeing colour then the best to use is something similar to iridescent mother of pearl, because that contains all colours.
  •   You might see the image as a rigid bar, which would suggest that there is an inflexibility in the relationship between you which may require you to deal with the expectations of others.
  •   The incense is used to create an environment which is free from other influences; this is just between you and your perception of the link you have with the other person.
  •   Light your incense and sit quietly, considering carefully the link between you.
  •   Become aware of the flow of energy between you and gently withdraw your own energy, seeing it returning to you and being used for your own purposes rather than the other persons. (This may be enough to bring about a change in your relationship which has a satisfactory outcome for you.)
  •   Next think carefully about how the other person makes calls on your time and energy – whether these are physical, emotional or spiritual.
  •   Resolve that you will either not allow this to happen or will be more careful and sparing in your responses.
  •   You might develop a symbol for yourself which you can use when you feel you are being sucked in.
  •   Preferably use one which amuses you, since laughter is a potent tool. You could use the image of a knot being tied, a cork or a stopcock.
  •   If you decide that you no longer wish to be associated with the person, use a technique which signifies breaking the link. It will depend upon your own personality and that of the other person as to how you do this.
  •   Visualizing the link simply being cut may bring about a more powerful ending with tears and recriminations, whereas a gentle teasing out of the link may be slower but less painful.
  •   It is here that you must trust your own judgement with the thought that it must be done for the Greater Good. If therefore you feel that at least some links must be left in place you can do this, for instance if you would wish to know when the other person is in trouble.
  •   Finally see yourself walking away from the person, free of any bonds between you.
  •   Always ensure that you leave them with a blessing for their continuing health, wealth and happiness.
  •   Now you will only become involved with them at your own wish. You can see from the above that at all points you have a choice for your course of action. This is because each stage must be considered very carefully, and not done in anger. You must remain as dispassionate as you can and always remain true to your own principles.

Warding Off Unluckiness And Evil Spirits

Warding Off Unluckiness And Evil Spirits

Items You Will Need:

  • A Hand
  • Fingers
  • A Heart

The Spell:

To do this spell all you must do is make a three-fingered claw and place it over your heart. After you do that push outwards. This will banish any evil spirits that is or might be haunting you. You will know if you are being haunted if you get bad luck. Once you get bad luck for a long period of time use this spell the next time bad luck hits you.

Spell to Restore Peace to an Unhappy Home

Spell to Restore Peace to an Unhappy Home

Items You Will Need:

  • Black candle.
  • Astral candles of those in the home.
  • Yellow-green candle.
  • Light blue candle.
  • Deity candles – ex. white and black, or Gold and Silver.

d.. Think hard of each person, saying as the Candles are lit, ”This candle represents
. As it burns, so burns his/her spirit.”
e.. Write down the faults and problems that beset the home. Discuss them with the others.
f.. Then light the Votive Candle, visualizing the start of a new day and new turn for the better, e.g. visualize turning over an old brown leaf and finding it green and vibrant on the other side.
g.. Light the Yellow-Green Candle (for Anger, and Jealousy and Discord).
h.. Say, ”Here burns away all negative emotions from and , leaving only love and happiness.
It is in our house; it is all about us.
There is tranquility in our home.
Peace and love abound and are with us.
For true happiness now is known.
Understanding and love are there in abundance;
discord and chaos are fled.
For be it ever thus, that as patience and love do grow and prosper,
so barren become the fields of doubt and distress.
Happiness is the light that burns and darkness all away is sent.
The home is peace; peace is the home.”
i.. Meditate for 3-5 minutes on settling the disturbed conditions in the home.
j.. Now hold up the paper containing the problems, and burn it in the Votive Candle.
k.. Visualize all the problems vanishing.

m.. Light the Black Candle (for Destruction of Negativity).

o.. Move the Astral Candles further closer to each other.
p.. Light the Light Blue Candle (for Peace and Understanding).
q.. Finally repeat the words once more, then meditate for another 3-5 minutes on the new peaceful condition of the home.
r.. Move the Astral candles even closer to each other.
s.. Hug and kiss each other and call out ”Hurrah” or other such words expressing joy and relief and victory.
t.. Then extinguish the Votive Candle, and then the Astral and Day candles.

Note: The spell is even more powerful if it is repeated on 3 consecutive days, with different day candles, and letting the Astral candles touch each other only at the third incantation on the third day. There is no need to write down the problems on the second or third day. However, the spell may be only performed once, in which case, the Astral candles should touch other at the third incantation. The ashes of the ”problem paper” can be gleefully flushed down the toilet.

Happy & Blessed Sunday To All My Friends! It’s A Spell Sunday Today!

Good afternoon to all my dear friends! I hope everyone is having a great day. I am sorry for no dailies today but it is going to be a great day anyway! It is a “Spell for All Sunday.” Can you spell that without any “l’s”?

Really I feel like crap. I have a mild case of West Nile Virus. If it is out there I am going to catch it. Last night was the most miserable night in my life. My husband took me to the hospital at 3 a.m. They did blood work and everything and told me, “I have a mild case of West Nile’s Virus.” If this is a mild case, I sure in the hell wouldn’t won’t a severe case.  I have enough medicine to kill a hog. My husband got upset when they let me leave the hospital. They told him what I had was like having a severe case of the flu. Makes a lot of sense, a mild case of West Nile’s, but a severe case of the flu, hmm? I am still trying to figure that one out. But anyway, I wouldn’t want to be in the hospital for nothing. I had enough of the hospitals a few year ago. So if I act a little more out of it than usual you know what’s the matter, lol! I have to get up and post something in the Apothecary anyway. I haven’t made Anastasia a manager over there yet or she could do it all.

Well I am going to get to posting some spells and other info. I hope you have a fantastic Sunday, what’s left of it anyway. And don’t forget to see if you can spell that without any “l’s”, lol!

Luv & Hugs,

Lady A

Good Saturday Morning/Afternoon! I Hope You Are Having A Better Day Than Me, lol!

 

I wanted to let you know that I am taking the day off from the WOTC. I am currently working on the store and going crazy. I never realized how much work is involved in this. Anyway, we have individuals that have found the store and have joined it as followers.

So I figured I might as well let you have a look too. Remember, I am no where never finished. I figure if I work all day today on it, I will make great progress

THINK ON THESE THINGS for August 24

THINK ON THESE THINGS
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Some of the grasses in the meadow have turned pink, some beige, some with new green. August has few days left and next month fall will arrive. Lots of warm days in between now and then, but at least the temperature will modify during that time.

Summer is a little like having a pesky child visiting. At first it is a barrel of fun and we love every minute, but when our tongues hang out from too much of a good thing we are ready for a change. We love it no less, but rest is welcome and we are already counting the days.

Soon, brush piles will send smoke spiraling through the trees and leaves of all colors will begin to drop. At one time, seeing the season change was a sad experience. But beautiful leaves become more beautiful and they are only lying down for a winter’s sleep. Much to look forward to if we open our eyes and enjoy it.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – August 24

“The mind’s eye changes the way we judge things.”

–Fools Crow, LAKOTA

“What you see is what you get.” Our head has inside it a movie projector that projects out from our foreheads and shines on a screen a picture of our true thoughts. This is our reality. We can only see what we project (our beliefs). If we believe someone is a jerk, every time we see them we reflect our beliefs about what we think about that person and that is all we can see. Even if someone tells us this person is a kind, loving, caring, intelligent individual, we wouldn’t be able to see it. If we change our belief about them, that person will change and so will our judgment about that person.

My Creator, let me realize the power of choice. Let me see the advantages of changing my beliefs. Today, if I am judging my brother, let me change my beliefs to acceptance. If my thoughts are of anger, let me change them to love. Let my eyes only see you in everything and every person.

August 24 – Daily Feast

August 24 – Daily Feast

Nothing saves the day so much as a good word. And nothing has been misused as often. There is power in a word, whether we read it, speak it or hear it. And we command and are commanded by the word. We scatter, we call forth, and we comfort. Words are tools, weapons, both good and bad medicine – but very beautiful when used lovingly. The word, or ka ne tsv in Cherokee, is power to help heal, or make sick people sicker by negative talk around them. The word gives confidence when it builds rather than destroys. Relationships have been shattered beyond repair by a runaway mouth. Prosperity has been dissolved by talking lack. Until we listen to our own voices and how we talk, we would never guess how we use our words.

~ I am opening my heart to speak to you….open yours to receive my words. ~

Daily Motivator for August 24 – Positive example

Positive example

Don’t merely wait or wish or hope for the world to become more positive. The  world becomes more positive when you become more positive.

The experience of life in this world is not something that is imposed upon  you. Life is precisely and reliably what you choose to make it.

What you cannot control, you can accept, interpret and make use of in a  positive and purposeful way. Shine a genuine positive light where you are, and  that light will quickly spread beyond you.

Don’t complain about how bad things are. Imagine how good life can be, and  then persistently act on what you imagine.

Life is the way you live it. Live it well, with joy, with purpose, with care  and commitment and love.

Live according to your highest vision and your most treasured dreams. Be the  best positive example for all of life to follow.

Daily OM for August 24 – A Chance to Contribute

A Chance to Contribute

Disarming the Know-It-All

by Madisyn Taylor

People that are know-it-alls are simply stuck in a pattern and may actually have feelings of low self worth.

Most of us have encountered a person in our lives who can accurately be referred to as a know-it-all. This person seems to know everything about anything that gets brought up and tends to dominate the conversation. They don’t take well to being questioned, and they have a hard time ever admitting that they were wrong.

Being around a know-it-all is inevitably tiring because there is no shared energy between the two of you. Rather, you become an audience member to this person’s need to be the center of attention. Attention and respect are probably the two things this person most longs for, and at some point in their lives, they learned that knowing it all was the way to get those needs met. Over time, they have become stuck in this pattern, regardless of the fact that it is no longer working. They may feel afraid of the experience of listening, being receptive, or learning something new, because it’s so unfamiliar.

On the one hand, when we see the childlike need underneath the know-it-all’s mask of confidence, we feel compassion for the person, and we may tolerate their one-sided approach to conversation out of a desire not to hurt their feelings. On the other hand, we may be feeling drained and tempted to avoid this person altogether. In the middle of these two possible ways of feeling, we may actually like this person and wish for a closer relationship. If we come from a place of kindness, we might attempt to bridge the gap that this person’s habitual way of relating creates. Simply expressing a desire to be closer may open their heart, and give you a chance to ask for what you need in the relationship—a chance to contribute.

Attain financial rewards from this elements as well as any kind    of physical security.
