You


Witchy Comments & Graphics

You

by the Whyte Bard

You are a child of the goddess, a daughter or a son of the god, and you are here in joy. Live your life to its fullest, taking the good with the bad and learning from each.

Enjoy love, giving yourself to your lover as you will, but not so much that you lose your Self, and take that which is given by your lover, but not so much as to empty them of Selfhood.

You are both individuals who are walking together, side by side, in equal partnership, and if your paths should seperate, then so be it. Seperate in joy, not hate.

Love. Love life, love your fellow humans, and love our Brothers and Sisters in fur, feather and scale. Love your Mother Earth. We are caretakers of this planet; this is our Home.

Work. Do not live from the bounty of others, but live of your own, as an independent member of the whole. If you must take charity, take it in good grace, and return what you have been loaned therefrom when you can, be it in kind, or by whatever means you have.

Give. Give to those in need, and to those that hunger or thirst. Give not to inflate yourself, and to show others your magniminity, but give from a love for your fellow humans. Give of your substance, but more importantly, give a helping hand, that the person helped may support themselves, free from obligation.

Teach. Teach your children and teach others, not by words, for words can twist and lie, but by your own example. Teach kindness, and Understanding, and Joy, but most of all, teach Love. If you must discipline your children, discipline in love, not anger.

Think. Think before you speak. Think before you act. Consider your words and actions, and the effect they will have on others.

Learn. Learn from all, for even a fool may speak wisdom unknowingly. Most of all, learn thru the wide eyes of a child, seeing for the first time.

Ask. If you do not know, ask. If you are unsure, ask. If you are sure …ask again.

Speak the Truth. Live the Truth. Love the Truth. Seek after the Truth.

Harm none. Love all. For it is written, and it is undoubtly so, that what you have done to the least and smallest, you have done to the deity.

Invocation to the Goddess

Invocation to the Goddess

 

Thou who whispers gentle yet strong
Thou for whom my soul doth long,
By most men you are seldom seen
Yet you ever reign as Virgin, Mother, Queen.
Through the veil you pass with pride
As I beckon thee now to be at my side.

Thou who knows, thou who conceals
Thou who gives birth, thou who feels,
For you are the Goddess and Mother of all
Pray thee now come as I call,
Now through the mist, I hear your voice
And invoke thee most gracious Goddess by choice.

Thou who suffers as all men die
Doth with her victim in love lie,
For you are the Goddess and Crone of despair
To our ending we all must share,
I feel thy passion and feel thy presence
I desire to be one with thy vital essence.

I pray thee dancer of eternal bliss
Bestow upon me thy wondrous kiss,
Let now thy light, love and power
Descend, become one with me this hour.
For you are the Creatress of Heaven and Earth
To my soul and spirit you have given birth.

Today’s Feng Shui Tip for Nov. 13 – ‘Knowledge’

This one’s easy. If you find that you have a bit of a hard time getting your youngster to read, then here comes Feng Shui to the reading rescue. This philosophy says that placing books or symbols of books (or any reading material) in the ‘Knowledge’ area of the child’s bedroom will stimulate an interest in becoming an avid page turner. And that’s all she wrote.

By Ellen Whitehurst for Astrology.com

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for Nov. 13 is 18: Repairing What is Spoiled

18: Repairing What is Spoiled

Something is starting to rot and it is time to repair the damage. In the world of human affairs, indulgence and corruption grow like weeds in an untended garden; they must be faced squarely, and rooted out through bold action. Eliminating corruption — and the sloppiness that leads to it — is one of the most ennobling of all human enterprises. Correction of flaws in the system clears the way for fresh, new beginnings.

The time has come to become lean and efficient. The weeds must be rooted out now, before the garden is overwhelmed. Fighting decay, sloppiness and corrupt agendas is not a simple matter; all steps must be evaluated carefully. Planning must precede action. Resist the temptation to strike out prematurely. Gather strength behind you, and summon your inner resources, because arresting decay is no simple task. When you do act, make your strike as precise and clean as the path of the surgeon’s knife.

Today’s Tarot Card for November 13th is The Moon

The Moon

What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.

The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 13

Sudden shifts in emotional loyalties are possible now as the intense Scorpio Solar Eclipse at 5:08 pm EST brings a new perspective to our passions. This powerful New Moon forms stressful aspects with transformational Uranus and Pluto, raising the ante for personal change. Meanwhile, logical Mercury squares irrational Neptune, pitting our words against our dreams. Events move quickly today, but a little bit of common sense takes us a long way.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although today’s Scorpio New Moon Eclipse stimulates your 8th House of Intimacy, it’s still difficult to speak your desires aloud. However, what you don’t say may have more impact now than what is actually said. If your feelings seem isolated from your conversations, make a conscious choice to include them in your story. Take a chance by telling a loved one what you really need.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to keep things simple now, but your most important relationships may be growing beyond your control. Your interactions have hidden layers of complexity as the magnetic Scorpio Solar Eclipse activates your 7th House of Partners. You might be willing to put up with temporary complications if you can see your way through a current entanglement. Just keep your future destination in mind because maintaining the status quo isn’t good for anyone involved.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s not too late to make a simple improvement to your daily routine, even if it’s one you should have made much sooner. Today’s Scorpio Solar Eclipse falls in your 6th House of Habits, indicating sudden changes that can set a series of profound consequences into motion. The potential is greater than you realize, so make your actions count as much as possible.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Don’t get discouraged today, even if it feels like everything has come to a standstill. Whether you know it or not, you are on the edge of a big breakthrough; however, you will have to take initiative to make it happen. The Scorpio Solar Eclipse polarizes your 5th House of Love and Creativity, suggesting that something exciting is about to open up on the romantic front. Even if you are eager with anticipation, remember that nothing happens overnight.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your emotions may be at odds with your actions today, adding tension to your most personal relationships. Your tendency now is to withhold deep feelings while you smile and just do whatever is necessary to keep the peace. However, the Scorpio Solar Eclipse rattles your 4th House of Security, making this a tough time if you don’t acknowledge your current desires. Protecting your heart seems like a good idea, but you might regret it later on.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have been planning long enough; it’s now time to start talking about your ideas with others. The Scorpio New Moon Eclipse activates your 3rd House of Communication, so get your best thoughts out into the open because they don’t do any good running around inside your head. There may not be a better time to initiate passionate discussions about what you want to do next in your life, so seize the moment before it passes.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can’t share everything that’s important to you without upsetting the stability of your life now that the Scorpio Solar Eclipse is shaking your 2nd House of Self-Esteem. Unfortunately, keeping crucial information to yourself creates a ripple effect, and the subtle disturbances can easily build into destructive waves. Once you better understand your own core values you’ll know exactly what you want to say.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This New Moon Eclipse in your sign symbolizes the initiation process you may now experience. With buoyant Jupiter in the picture, you could be feeling upbeat about the life-changing possibilities that are before you. But you cannot let go of the shadows on a whim, so analyze what you are holding on to and why you’re still resistant to change. After you understand the source of your motivation, the next steps become even easier to take.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Scorpio New Moon Eclipse in your 12th House of Spirituality may keep you somewhat detached from emotional involvements because you recognize that your boundaries aren’t strong now. You might be more vulnerable than usual and feel the need to protect yourself from others. Go ahead and retreat to do the deep soul searching that is required. Don’t judge yourself harshly if you aren’t ready to share your feelings with anyone else yet. Trust that you will know when the time is right.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Focus your attention back on the outer world now that the Scorpio New Moon Eclipse activates your 11th House of Social Networking. Don’t be too sentimental; just engage others as necessary, for you know what moves to make and you can predict the response you’ll receive. All the while, keep your eyes on the prize. More than anything else, single-minded concentration can get you what you want today.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Scorpio Solar Eclipse lands in your 10th House of Career, motivating you to concentrate on your professional role now. Your natural ability to contain your emotions contributes to your air of mystery and increases your magnetic charm. You can even have someone eating out of your hand without much effort. Just tell others what you want to do and watch them line up to be on your team.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s time to apply your special brand of logic to draw a personal life map now that the Solar Eclipse is rattling your 9th House of Big Adventure. Start by visualizing whatever you want to do over the upcoming months. Then create a calendar and write down the critical milestones that you wish to accomplish. Use this personalized tool to stay on track as you move toward fulfilling your most vital dreams.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 13

Being too assertive in the early hours is bound to create fatigue and stress since the dark-of-the-moon vibrations are reaching a crescendo. This extreme, waning lunar energy is good for resting, sleeping and meditating, but not terrific for taking great leaps forward.  It would be advisable to gear up for tomorrow’s Chiron station and shift in Pisces — from reverse to direct. Helping you build bridges of trust and faith with dear ones, friends and neighbors is a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree link from Chiron to Uranus (9:24AM PST).  The Scorpio New Moon (2:09PM PST) is followed four minutes later (2:13PM PST) by a Total Solar Eclipse at 22 degrees of Scorpio. Nearly simultaneously, Venus makes a potent, 135-degree liaison with Chiron (2:12PM PST). This implies that millions of human souls are hurting, but also looking to their fellow earthlings for guidance, nurturing and support. Use your words to heal — not harm. Find novel ways to assist the truly needy and disenfranchised.  Accentuate crystal clear thinking to offset fuzzy analysis of reality as Mercury squares Neptune (4:04PM PST). With Mercury in reverse and Neptune barely in the plus column of direct motion, it is easy to swoon into a state of confusion and internal chaos that can lead you astray from key goals and plans.  Adding to the strange dynamics going on right now is Mercury heading back into Scorpio (11:43PM PST) until December 10.

Colors: Blue and clear
Element: Water
Altar: Set with a blue cloth, a large earthenware bowl of spring water in which has been placed several stones, an earthenware chalice, a dipper, and possibly a small fountain.
Offerings: Coins, to be tossed into the fountain or bowl afterwards. These should then be added to a charity fund.
Daily Meal: Nothing to drink but spring water all day. River fish. Watercress. Lotus root.

Invocation to Fons:

Hail, Spirit of the Fountain,
Spirit of wells and springs,
Gift of the Earth!
So much of our world is water,
So much of our bodies are water,
So much of the air we breathe
Is laden with water,
And yet so little of it
Will quench our thirst.
Let us never forget the generosity
Of the Earth beneath us
Who gives forth blood
In a form that we can drink of.
Hail, Spirit of the Fountain!
You who are the pure water
Blossoming forth from the Earth,
Let us remember how purity
Can come forth from that
Which is made of cold stone
And that which rotted into the mould.
With every taste of water,
We will remember your gift.

Chant:

Born of water, cleansing, powerful, flowing, healing, we are….

(Let one who is chosen to do the work of this ritual ladle out the spring water into the chalice, and pass it about to all present, and then pour the rest back into the bowl. After the meditation is over, the water should be returned to the Earth as a libation, and the stones set aside until the next year. One stone should be added each year thenceforth.)

 

[Pagan Book of Hours]

Current Moon Phase for November 13: New Moon

New Moon

(waxing/0% illumination)

The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

The Witches Magick for November 13: GOOD RIDDANCE SPELL

The Witches Magick for November 13th

GOOD RIDDANCE SPELL

Here is another good spell for getting rid of an unwanted suitor.

 

Take a small square of paper and write on it the name of the annoying would-be lover. Use black ink for this. Many Gypsies also say that it is best to use one of the old “dip” pens and ink, rather than a modern ballpoint, but you could experiment. Let the ink dry; don’t blot it.

Then light a white candle and burn the piece of paper in its flame while thinking of the person running away from you. Catch the ashes in something (burning the paper over an ashtray is a good idea) and carry them out to a hillside (you can do this by putting them in a small plastic bag, similar). There you must place the ashes on the upturned palm of your right hand and hold it up, saying:

Winds of the North, East, South and West,
Carry these affections to where they’ll be best.
Let her/his heart be open and free,
And let her/his mind be away from me.

Then blow on the ashes so that they scatter to the winds.
