The Night of the Full Moon

by Lloyd Frankenberg

O come with me into this moonlight world.
The trees are large and soft tonight,
With blossoms loaded soft and white,
A cloud of whiteness furling and unfurled.

The houses give their sounds upon the air
In muted tones and secrecies,
Their lights like laughter through the trees.
The evening breathes its vows into our hair.

The evening puts its lips to throat and brow
And swears what it has sworn before
To others and will swear to more.
The evening has its arms around us now.

Feng Shui Tip for October 29th – ‘World Psoriasis Day’

Today’s tip might have you scratching your head, but hopefully that will be the only itchy place on your skin. Today is ‘World Psoriasis Day’ and I’d like to share potentially positive innovations from the world of alternative therapies for treating this disease. It is believed that drinking an ounce of aloe juice after every meal while also applying the gel from an aloe plant to the affected area twice a day will help clear lesions from the skin’s surface. As well, increasing intake of Omega-3 fish oils has also been said to eradicate this imbalance. The herb Burdock root is also believed to help with severe psoriasis cases. You can find this tea in almost any health food store. You might also find that drinking some on an empty stomach just before breakfast and dinner can conceivably help with healthy digestion.

Your I Ching Hexagram for Oct. 29th is 39: Temporary Obstacles

39: Temporary Obstacles

Have temporary obstacles been blocking your way? In the course of trying to reach a goal or to fulfill a personal ambition, obstructions inevitably present themselves. This is not always a bad thing. Obstacles, difficulties and even setbacks that are eventually overcome often turn into assets. Without irritating grains of sand, oysters would never make pearls.

The obstacles pointed to here are not permanent, yet they are in the way. As when a large boulder falls in the road, the best course of action is usually to go around it, rather than to try to move it out of the way. Temporary obstacles must be seen for what they are — temporary — and should not be allowed to take on too much significance.

A positive aspect of even the most difficult obstacle is that it may cause a person to turn inward, and gain greater depth and character. While the ignorant bemoan their fate and seek to blame their problems on others, the wise seek the cause of the problem within themselves. Through this type of introspection, obstacles become a means for personal growth and self-discovery.

Without air resistance, no plane would ever fly.

If you are facing temporary obstacles, try not to be overly concerned. Obstacles are a part of achieving every goal and furthering every undertaking. Setbacks and reverses can affect morale, but keeping up your self-confidence in the face of challenges is part of a successful solution to many of life’s problems. Obstacles of short duration are best handled with a yielding attitude. Go around the rock, don’t put your shoulder to it.

Your Rune For Monday, October 29th is Uruz

Your Rune For Today

Your Tarot Card for Monday, October 29th is The High Priestess

The High Priestess

Traditionally called the High Priestess, this major arcana, or trump, card represents human wisdom. She can be viewed as a kind of female Pope, the ancient Egyptian Priestess of Isis, the even older snake and bird Goddesses, the Greek Goddess Persephone, or the Eve of Genesis before the Fall.

For the accused heretics who were burnt at the stake for revering her in the 14th and 15th century, she symbolized the prophecy of the return of the Holy Spirit, which was perceived as the female aspect of the Holy Trinity.

In the sequence of cards in the major arcana, the High Priestess appears as soon as the Fool decides he wants to develop his innate powers, making a move toward becoming a Magus. The High Priestess is his first teacher, representing the Inner Life and the method for contacting it, as well as the contemplative study of Nature and the Holy Mysteries.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 29th

Expect the unexpected and you won’t be disappointed this week as the powerful Taurus Full Moon on Monday night sets the stage for more unpredictability to follow. Intense feelings and unfulfilled desires kick up powerful emotional storms on Saturday when sweet Venus squares off with provocative Pluto and the safety-seeking Cancer Moon runs into hard aspects with both Pluto and explosive Uranus. Adapting quickly to sudden changes of circumstances reduces stress and makes profound breakthroughs possible.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Signals are decidedly mixed in the middle of the week, bringing relationship pressures to a boiling point. Restraint is required with a Mars-Saturn aspect, but playful Venus hooking up with wild Uranus in your sign is about breaking the rules. Clearly, you need new forms of stimulation to keep your personal life interesting, yet if you go too far out of bounds, you may have to correct your course quickly to avoid a costly mistake.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The conflicted Full Moon in your sign on Monday night is just an opening act for the relationship drama that may occur later in the week. Simple conversations can become overly complicated this weekend with the sensitive Cancer Moon traveling through your 3rd House of Communication on Saturday and Sunday. Words are usually tender with this cuddly lunar placement, but the Moon’s stressful aspects to disruptive Uranus and intuitive Pluto spring surprises and expose secrets that might provoke powerful reactions. But even if the emotional process is upsetting in the moment, remember that the truth will set you free.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Restlessness rules in romantic matters from Wednesday to Friday with the Moon’s presence in your emotionally mobile sign. Flirting is naturally one of your favor sports, but even the most innocent way of playing could lead to serious consequences. If you’re single and looking now, this might be the opportunity you’re seeking. But if you’re already in a committed relationship, a good dose of caution is highly recommended. You are at your most irresistible when you aren’t even trying.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Feelings are all over the place on Saturday and Sunday. The Moon is moving through your tender sign and smashing into volatile Uranus and voracious Pluto, unexpectedly altering plans and shifting moods. Hunger for love and affection intensifies, but resentment or negative self-judgment will not fill your heart. Vent your frustrations to a supportive friend, but then let go and move on so you can enjoy the rest of the weekend. Think of it as an exhausting emotional marathon which leaves you feeling like a winner. Hopefully, you will forget about the pain and remember the prize.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could feel a bit like an outsider with the Cancer Moon hiding in your reclusive 12th House this weekend. It’s wise to leave plenty of time for yourself instead of loading up your schedule with social obligations. Secrets may be exposed that rattle relationships but it can be a relief to finally have the truth out in the open. Yet even if you have a major revelation, it’s wise to avoid making serious commitments in this unstable environment. Take this time to contemplate the amazing future you wish to co-create.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The receptive Cancer Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Groups puts friends, colleagues and organizations in the spotlight this weekend. Connecting with someone who is not your usual type is a distinct possibility. But even the most reliable pals could upset you with a sudden shift of plans. Stay flexible and remain positive since change is the name of the game now. If you’re willing to let go of your expectations, the surprises you experience are more likely to be pleasant ones.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Venus, your alluring ruling planet, generally makes you feel more attractive while she’s in your sign. But your sense of security and self-worth may be easily rattled this week with challenging Venus connections to rebellious Uranus on Thursday and mysterious Pluto on Saturday. It’s time to examine your expectations, shake up your social patterns and dig deeper in search of the pleasure, partnership and approval that you most deeply desire.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your potent and provocative ruling planet Pluto tangles with amorous Venus this weekend, which only tends to intensify your relationships even more. Casual comments can spur strong feelings that add a heavy emotional weight to the atmosphere. Getting away from it all may be ideal with the Moon hanging out in your 9th House of Travel on Saturday and Sunday. Perhaps a change of scenery might not only do your heart good, but it could also give you a fresh perspective that allows you to let go of the past.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your free and easy attitude can spark some unexpected reactions this weekend. The mood-setting Moon is in super-sensitive Cancer and your 8th House of Deep Sharing, making others more responsive to whatever you say or do. It’s not easy to avoid ruffling feathers in this delicate environment, but attempting to fulfill someone’s every need isn’t realistic, either. Give people a little space rather than trying too hard to please them. Indulge your own whims without expecting anyone to join you.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Get ready for a potentially profound weekend. The Moon in sensitive Cancer occupies your 7th House of Partners to bring strong emotions to the surface. Tense lunar aspects and a transformational Venus-Pluto square can shake relationships to the core. If you’re wrestling with self-doubt now, take some steps to start building your confidence in whatever ways you can. This may just be the beginning of a longer process that can turn your romantic life around. Falling in love with yourself is the first stage of the metamorphosis.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your plans could suddenly go awry this weekend with a moody Cancer Moon running into tense aspects with unpredictable outer planets. Even loving Venus gets into the complexity business with a stressful square to otherworldly Pluto that tends to push reason out of the picture. If others don’t calm down or appreciate your logic, it’s wiser to let go than to argue about it. The challenge is to stretch yourself enough to tolerate uncomfortable emotions and still respect the opinions of those around you.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Romantic messages are very mixed this weekend. The nurturing Cancer Moon is in your 5th House of Romance, which is usually good for expressing warm feelings and receiving favorable responses. However, both the needy Moon and sexy Venus run into suspicious Pluto, which tends to undermine trust and sow seeds of uncertainty. Dealing with secrets honestly and responding to shifting circumstances gracefully can make taking the high road more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, October 29th

We are able to respond to complex situations today by expressing our feelings in very practical ways. The Full Moon in sensual Taurus at 3:49 pm EDT stimulates our emotions, making our dreams overflow into the real world. However, we may gloss over the details now as verbal Mercury slips into philosophical Sagittarius and squares fuzzy Neptune. Even if discussions don’t go as expected, we must be willing to see them through to their conclusions.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Unspoken tension may hang in the air today with the stubborn Taurus Full Moon occupying your 2nd House of Values. However, you are better off stirring up emotions rather than just allowing them to settle in. Don’t get complacent and let the day pass without expressing the anxiety that you feel. However, make sure to communicate with integrity and kindness. Once you bring your needs up for discussion, the likelihood for positive change improves.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s nearly impossible to avoid the emotional energy of this Full Moon in your sign as it dissolves the boundaries between reality and your subconscious mind. You may feel uncomfortable with your own intuition now, for you can sense things that are normally just out of sight. Instead of spreading worry and fear today, use your heightened awareness to sow the seeds of love and joy.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Consciously make time to explore the exciting potential that today offers or you could easily miss your chance for growth. This would be a shame, for there is valuable meaning buried in your dreams which are elucidated by the Taurus Full Moon landing in your 12th House of Destiny. You now have the chance to move closer to your personal goals, however fantastic they seem. Don’t let this opportunity for enlightenment slip past you without taking a risk.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s time to gently acquiesce by gradually giving up some of your control. But the Taurus Full Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals doesn’t mean letting the changes unfold without any consideration at all. This is very tricky business since you need to clearly express what you want. However, once you speak your piece or write it down, you still have to release your attachment to the outcome. Holding on too tightly will only limit your future possibilities.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The conflict between your domestic obligations and your career goals may come to a head today as the Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 10th House of Responsibilities. This tension is not such a bad thing, since you finally have a chance to find the resolution that’s been evading you. Luckily, you can use your organizational skills to improve your personal life now as much as your job, even if this isn’t apparent to everyone else.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Life may be challenging now, even if positive changes are bringing you what you want. You can visualize your future today with the Taurus Full Moon lighting up your 9th House of Big Ideas. But nothing will happen unless you express your conscious intentions, followed by initiating focused action. Remember, even when you are lucky, you still must buy a lottery ticket to have a shot at winning the jackpot.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may find it difficult to jump right in to an intense situation as you consider someone else’s response to your behavior, now that the Taurus Full Moon highlights your 8th House of Deep Sharing. But you really don’t need to miss any of the action, even if your name isn’t up there in bright lights. Be content with your current role and finish up old business so you are ready to begin anew in two weeks at the next New Moon.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s Taurus Full Moon falls in your 7th House of Relationships, pushing emotional issues right to the forefront of your life. You cannot sidestep the obvious now, for the Full Moon opposite the Sun in your sign is reflecting your own feelings directly back at you from everywhere you look. The good news is that transformation is in the air and you should be able to turn your heightened awareness into the concentrated effort necessary for success.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your idealism might get the best of you now as you express your opinions no matter what anyone else thinks. Unfortunately, you could inflate your own importance with communicator Mercury visiting your sign. But the sensible Taurus Full Moon activates your 6th House of Work and can promptly bring you back down to earth. Ultimately, today may feel like a rollercoaster ride, so get ready for the excitement. Don’t try to rationalize everything you experience; there will be time enough for that later on.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

There can be a world of difference between feeling in love and being loved. Naturally, it’s wonderful when both happen simultaneously. If you are experiencing one without the other now, the earthy Taurus Full Moon in your 5th House of Romance could bring the change you’re seeking. Let your heart be open to surprises; a playful attitude may be just what’s needed to set the stage for something magical to happen.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel as if your home life is weighing you down now, but your fear of change could be the real culprit of your troubles. Others might even see you as rather stubborn today, but dynamic shifts are underfoot and you won’t be able to hold back the tides. The Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 4th House of Domestic Conditions, reminding you that you’re not in control of everything. Go with the flow and let the currents take you where they will.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are likely to overcommit with the Taurus Full Moon in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. If you’re currently busier than you prefer, turn down the volume on your overall level of activity. Take advantage of the evocative Full Moon’s magic to start eliminating excess emotional noise. Being conscious of what you no longer need now helps you invite what you desire most into your life.

Your Full Moon In Taurus Horoscopes by Jeff Jawer

Full Moon in Taurus Horoscopes

Take financial responsibility with October’s Full Moon

Jeff Jawer on the topics of taurus, moon, full moon, astrology

There’s a serious tone to the Full Moon in Taurus on October 29, 2012, especially as Hurricane Sandy barrels toward the northeastern United States. “Frankenstorm” is expected to impact more than 50 million people in heavily populated areas — including New York City — and Astrology is adding to the power of the storm.

Stern Saturn joins the emotional Scorpio Sun and opposes this Full Moon in stubborn Taurus. The Full Moon is also making a nasty square between Mercury, which rules transportation and communication, and Neptune, which rules water.

In addition to seriousness of the hurricane, money matters also take the spotlight, and belt tightening may be required. Although a lack of funds is never fun, potent Pluto’s harmonious aspects to the Sun and Moon suggest that canny investments of resources can stretch budgets and pay long-term dividends.

Find out how to weather the storm during this Full Moon in Taurus by looking up your sign below.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Taking care of money matters and managing all of your resources is essential with this earthy Taurus Full Moon in your 2nd House of Worth. Tightening up on trivial expenses to concentrate your cash, time and energy where they really count requires patience and discipline. But managing your assets more carefully develops patience and discipline that will give you more control over your life.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This Full Moon in your sign could require you to take a stand in relationships. That’s because it opposes the Sun and serious Saturn in your 7th House of Partners. It’s a time to take yourself and your commitments seriously. Weighing what you get for what you give may not feel generous, but an honest assessment of your return on investments is a key to building more productive and enduring alliances.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your past could be catching up with you on this heavy duty Taurus Full Moon in your 12th House of Secrets. A lunar opposition to strict Saturn in Scorpio is a reminder to complete unfinished business, especially related to health, work and your daily routines. Sticking to a spiritual practice is a good way to find the extra strength needed to face challenging tasks with maturity and faith.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Creative collaboration is the core of this Taurus Full Moon in your 11th House of Groups. Working as part of a team is critical now, but it isn’t likely to be easy. Strict Saturn’s conjunction with the Sun in your 5th House of Self-Expression may require restraint or delays that can be frustrating. But having a plan for how you perform and demonstrate your emotions will put control back into your hands.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Professional concerns and obligations may demand more attention with this Taurus Full Moon in your 10th House of Career and Public Responsibility. If your ambitions are strong and matched by personal discipline, this is a great time to lay down a solid foundation for future success. However, if you’re burdened by undesirable tasks, this is a time to change your attitude or, perhaps, your job.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

This earthy Taurus Full Moon in your visionary 9th House of Education and Travel triggers commitment to a higher cause or a practical education. Stodgy Saturn’s conjunction with the Sun and opposition to the Moon require a well thought out plan and plenty of patience. If you’re frittering away your time on trivial tasks, this lunation is a reminder to take yourself and your potential for the future more seriously.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

It’s better to take a stand in relationships than to be bullied into settling for less. This stubborn Taurus Full Moon lands in your 8th House of Deep Sharing, requiring a clearer point of view about what you want from your relationships. Both personal and professional alliances need to be examined carefully to ensure that you’re getting a fair return on your investments of time, energy, money and love.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

This sensual Taurus Full Moon occurs in your 7th House of Partners, where it helps you attract realistic people if you’re single or invites you to re-evaluate the one you’re with if you’re in a relationship. There is a risk of being overly negative with stern Saturn joined the Sun in Scorpio. But the upside of this connection can be a strong commitment to improve your health and to enhance your image.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

This Taurus Full Moon in your 6th House of Employment can bring work-related issues to a head. If you’re bored in your current situation, underpaid or frustrated in your search for a job, this event may trigger strong reactions. Committing to additional training could make a difference. The key is to think through your options patiently and consider long-term consequences rather than acting impulsively.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

It’s time to work toward putting more pleasure into your life. That might sound like a contradiction, but this sensual Taurus Full Moon lands in your 5th House of Creativity, Romance and Play and is opposed by serious Saturn. Setting aside time for fun and making a commitment to developing your artistic skills and social engagements ensures that joy is a regular event in your life rather than an occasional visitor.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Family matters are triggered by this practical Taurus Full Moon in your domestic 4th House of Home and Family. Unresolved emotional issues with others or from your past may come to the surface. There’s a tendency to either deny them or to dig in your heels, yet it’s best not to turn this into a power struggle. Your willingness to address these concerns makes peace at home that will also support professional ambitions.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Backing up your words with facts is essential with this reliable Taurus Full Moon in your 3rd House of Communication. If you don’t have all the information you need, make sure to get it before presenting your ideas to others. Keep it simple and avoid making dramatic statements or unfounded promises to make the best impression possible. Patience may be required if you’re awaiting big news.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 29th

It may be difficult to find stability and sound judgment right now. Certainly, the Full Moon — activating 7 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus at 12:51PM PDT — can represent a sensational time-period for revelations, but Mercury in Sagittarius makes a dicey square to Neptune in Pisces (10:41AM PDT). The juxtaposition of a potentially confusing, 90-degree tie between Mercury and Neptune so close to the time of the Full Moon is a reminder to steer clear of key signings, legal matters and long-term commitments for the time being. Nevertheless, it is wise to meditate for clarity, and to send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity in need of uplifting energy. Think more about what you can do for family members, friends and colleagues rather than fulfilling lower level desires. A little over an hour after the Full Moon is exact, the lunar orb in Taurus trines distant Pluto in Capricorn (2:03PM PDT). Tune into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration to accomplish as much as possible from your to-do list. Nonetheless, this Moon-Pluto trine begins a very long void lunar cycle that lasts over 45 hours until Wednesday October 31 at 11:41AM PDT. You will need to take periodic time-outs during this long psychic obstacle course in order to stay on target with vital concerns.

Mistress of the Gods
Thou bearer of wings
Thou lady of the red apparel
Queen of the crowns of the South and North,
Thou mighty one of enchantments,
Mistress and lady of the tomb,
Mother in the horizon of heaven.
For when Isis the Queen found that her husband
Had fallen from grace through foul play,
She searched high and low in every country,
Until she came to a palace in a far place
Where a great sweet-scented pillar
Had been cut from a tamarisk tree
The like of which had never been seen before.
The mighty Isis clad herself in the robes
Of a common woman,
And presented herself to the Queen
To be her babe’s nurse. And so it was,
Yet the Queen one day found this nurse
Setting her child in the fire,
So as to make him immortal.
And Isis revealed herself,
And the pillar was cut down and opened,
And she did restore Osiris her husband
With many wonderful magics,
And so she triumphed over their enemies
And brought her beloved home.
Cry joyfully for them, Rulers of the Gods of Egypt!

(All cheer, and grain is thrown into the air in celebration.)

Current Moon Phase for October 29th – Glorious Full Moon

Full Moon

(100% of Full)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Good Morning and a Very Blessed Monday to You & Yours!

It is a beautiful morning in Kentucky today. I hope it is the same where you are at. But on this morning that I consider myself so lucky to have, I think about those in the path of Hurricane Sandy. It scares me to think of all those people in the hurricane’s path. Called one for the record books, the worst storm in centuries, it is horrible to think about. I would ask that you take a moment today to say a prayer for all our brothers and sisters in its’ path. There will be devastation we are told, even lives lost. Please pray for them at this time. They need our prayers now, afterwards they will need our help and support. Keep them in your hearts and prayers as they go through this horrible event.

May the Goddess Bless All Of Us,

Keep Us In Her Protective Arms

And Grant Us Comfort and Aid,

Today and Always,

So Mote It Be.

Lady Of The Abyss

A Sincere Note Of Gratitude From All At The WOTC

It is late at night and I have been reading the comments in the back. Also the comments that have been sent to our personal email address. I want you to know that I appreciate all the well wishes and blessings you have sent my way. I know now how I have made such a recovery with all your prayers and healings vibration you have sent to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It is something, we get up every morning, come to the office and sit down at our computers. We stare at a blank screen then we start our daily work. You know it never dawns on you that you are reaching thousands of individuals all around the world each day. You never stop to think about what an effect we are having on those individuals with our words and message that we deliver each day. I know, personally, it is still hard for me to imagine that we are touching hearts and souls all around the world. In every corner of the planet, our words are reaching ears that would not be able to hear about our Religion. Some have to read our site in secret, they do not have the privilege that we take for granted in the States. In other regions, people are still stoned for even being though of as a possible witch. But still those individuals take the chance to read our site and hear our message. I am truly inspire by your courage and especially your commitment to the Goddess. When I read your messages, it makes me realize that what we do each day is serving a purpose. A purpose greater than we could ever imagine. Thank you for the inspiration you give us each day. Thank you for being our readers, our followers and most of all our family.

I would also like to take a moment to thank the recent individuals that have made generous donations to us. I know I mentioned one this morning and I checked recently and we have received another new donor. I would like acknowledge both of them at this time for their generosity, love and support, kooltrainer and Altar L. Thank you both for your donations which will go toward our animal refuge. This time of the year is a very busy time of year for us at the refuge. I know with my illness things have been quite complicated to say the least. I am the one that generally goes and picks up the injured animals out in the field. They tell me around here, I could charm a rattlesnake. It is a gift I have always took for granted or one I never stopped to think about. I love animals. That is one of the reasons we got involved in starting a refuge. There was a community need for it. And as always, we see a need, we answer it. I know people think of animals in the wild as being just that, wild. Not capable of ever coming close to a human and never letting a human come close to them. But you have to actually look deep into any animals’ eyes and see their true essence. You have to feel the soul, yes animals have souls. They also have personalities, feelings and when they are hurt they want our help. The animals can feel my intentions the moment I get out of the truck. A wild coyote with his foot in a trap, angry and snarling at the hunter that found him, will calm down as I start to approach. Fear, I use to have some when I was little but not now. I see animals in a different light. I know they are all the Goddess’ creatures and they need me as much as I need them. I need their acceptance. I want to become their friend and help them. I want to help them recover and as sad as it has been when it comes time to release them, return them to the wild. There are times I admit I get to attached to an animal. I don’t want them to leave but I know their place is not with me but at home in nature. Animals are such beautiful creatures. Most of them in the wild have been misunderstood for so long. Now we have come to realize that some of our most valuable assets on this planet have been almost been wiped off the face of it. I know in our area, we have two huge game reserves. The government has stocked it with lynx, wolves, bears, bobcats, and some cougars. It is the hopes that these animals will repopulate their once known habitats. But even though the government is involved in restocking it doesn’t stop ignorant hunters from shooting, injuring or hurting one of these majestic creatures. The government restocked the animals but made no provision for their care if it was needed. This is where I figured we should come in and we did. I would say we care for about 25 to 30 injured animals a month. That is not to mention the babies we pick up along the way. It is our hopes to expand our operations. In fact, it is my dream to do just that.

With the help of supporters like kooltrainer and Altar L, we will continue to be able to care for the animals that come through our doors. With the help of all our followers and friends, we will be able to continue to spread the truth about our Religion throughout the world. Our movement will continue to grow and grow till one day our dream is finally realize. Witchcraft…back in the mainstream of today’s Religion. Won’t that be a glorious day, indeed. As one great Lady that I truly admire once said, “It takes a village…” This Lady was Hilary Clinton and she was referring to children. But I am referring to us, our movement and our Religion. We need your donations, love, support, prayers, anything that you wish to do, is greatly appreciated. It takes all of us to make progress happen. It takes all of us to see that our work continues not only with the animals but in spreading the word of the Goddess.

For the Goddess is the reason we are here to begin with. With those words, I will again say thank you and good night, dear friends and family.

Her humble servant and yours,

Lady Of The Abyss

SAMHAIN RITUAL FOR REMEMBERANCE AND RELEASE

At Samhain, the Witches’ New Year, we remember our past, including departed loved ones and friends. We also plan for the future with new hopes, dreams and ambitions. Part of creating a good future is releasing the negative energies of the past.

Find a safe place to light a bonfire, cauldron fire or several orange and black candles. Carve one orange candle with the Rune symbol for Signals and one black candle with Gateway. Set up your Altar and close the Circle as usual.

Perform the following meditation:

Gaze deeply into the flames and relax, calling up memories of your past. Greet long gone friends and ancestors, asking them what knowledge or wisdom they can offer you for the future. Listen carefully to their advice and suggestions, give thanks and move on.

Recall the highs and lows of the past year. Compliment yourself on your successes and forgive your failures. Bring positive images closer and brighter and make negative thought recede into the background. Release any negative energy you feel towards yourself or others for mistakes. Move on.

Picture the coming year as you would like it to be – prosperous, filled with health, love and satisfaction. Envision friends and loved ones happy and successful in their own way. Give this year a colour or colours of your choice, or even your personal colour. Picture this colour casting a glow over the upcoming year. Raise your chalice and give thanks saying:

“Out with the old, in with the new, the coming year will make dreams come true. Great thanks and blessed be.”

Drink from your chalice and return to the present. Write the above affirmation or any messages you received in black ink on your parchment paper. Wrap the Samhain herbs in the paper, add the stones, place it on the fabric square and tie it with the ribbon. Cleanse and charge the talisman as describe. Give thanks and Open the Circle.

Later on, after you have finished the ritual, find a stone and paint it the colour you chose to symbolize the coming year. Write the date on the stone e. g. 2012. Put the stone in a noticeable place and when you see it, recall the dreams and hopes you envisioned for the New Year. Blessed Be and Happy New Year!
