None

“O, pain in my head,
The father of all evil,
Look upon thee now!
Thou hast greatly pained me,
Thou tormentest my head,
Remain not in me!

Thither, thither hasten!

Against an Excess Drink

Against an Excess Drink

 

Components:

A glass of wine

 

Instructions:

Before those serpent alcohols

That tempt the tongue and soothe the brain

Shall rise and wind their glittering coils

About your feverish fears again,

Treat them firmly, do not fail

Before their clear hypnotic eyes;

Confess their power, yet prevail

Before they learn to turn and tease;

Utter this charm, that wit and will

May stare them down and hold them still:

“Knowledge I have
While thou hast none,
I can make songs
Beyond they tongue,
All of thy offerings
First were mine:
I keep my spirit
And need not thine.”
 

Then raise to your lips a glass of wine – spit in it, empty it down the drain.

A Yoruba Recipe for Banishing Anxiety

A Yoruba Recipe for Banishing Anxiety

 

Components:

Ham Bone

Valerian Root

Tea Ball

 

Instructions:

Load the tea ball with valerian root (you may also need a nose plug) and boil with the hambone until the water becomes a tea. Allow it to cool and then bathe in it, or pour it over yourself in the bath tub. Do not wash it off. Take the hambone and tie it to the back of your car so that it hangs above the road, but not drag, and drive to a place of high elevation. If you don’t live near any high elevation, any kind of hill will do. As you drive, visualize the anxiety leaving you in the form of thick, sooty smoke and being soaked up by the hambone.

When you arrive at the hill or mountain, take the hambone from the back of your car by the string or rope. DO NOT TOUCH THE HAMBONE ITSELF. Throw it from you as far as you can and then compose yourself to meditation. Still the mind, relax, and if you wish, mentally ask Yemaya (the Yoruba Orisha of the Sea and Tranquility), or any other deity/spirit you wish to be with you and bless your intentions.

After 10 to 20 minutes of meditation, leave full in the knowledge that you have banished anxiety and restlessness. As with any other form of magick,, banish with laughter or ground with a good meal and forget about the exercise.

Daily General Horoscopes for Saturday, December 22nd

Our dreams take flight today, but we might grow concerned if they take us too high. An uncomfortable alignment between expansive Jupiter and contracting Saturn makes it difficult to find that sweet spot between too much and not enough. Thankfully, the Moon’s shift into sensible Taurus at 1:25 pm EST helps us keep our feet on the ground. However, flirtatious Venus in adventurous Sagittarius stands opposite Jupiter, encouraging us to overindulge.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Reality may not come through for you today in the way you expect. You need to pay careful attention to what’s happening now because you can easily convince yourself things are better than they truly are. You’re tempted to overstep boundaries and might even regret your lack of discipline unless you restrain your enthusiasm. Make decisions based on what you know instead of what you wish to be true.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Unavoidable obligations may be stacking up today, making it difficult to kick back and enjoy yourself. However, your desire for pleasure is strong now that jolly Jupiter is activating your key planet Venus — and you see no reason to deny your fate. Just be sure to watch the quantity of food and drink you consume, for you can easily overdo anything that makes you feel good. A touch of moderation goes a long way as you attempt to experience the finer side of life.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be worried that your plan won’t lead to success today, but that won’t prevent you from going ahead with your idea, anyhow. Although uncharacteristic caution might have you playing the waiting game at first, your confidence builds until you’re ready to take a risk in your search for pleasure. It’s easier to believe someone who is encouraging you to follow your heart’s desire than to resist. Nevertheless, a quick reality check does more to ensure your satisfaction than leaping before you look.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your resistance to having fun today may originate from your desire to nurture others instead of yourself. Although wanting someone you love to feel good is an admirable trait, you can go too far with your efforts and possibly even discourage yourself in the process. You might end up resenting the very people you are trying to please unless you take care of your own needs first.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today is a day created for you Lions to purr and play like carefree kittens. Unfortunately, your fun-loving ways are not an excuse to escape from your responsibilities; nevertheless, you can still have a great time as long as you don’t overdo it. Balancing work and play may be challenging, but it’s your current key to finding personal satisfaction.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Following the rules of expected behavior is tricky today. Although it’s normally easy for you to stay on track, you’re intrigued by the alternatives now and might not be too concerned with the opinions of anyone else. This current way of looking at life could be transitory, but you have a unique opportunity to learn about yourself while having fun. Avoid self-criticism if it gets in the way of a potentially pleasurable experience.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Sweet Venus, your ruling planet, forms a tense opposition to permissive Jupiter today, making it difficult to manage your desires. You feel as if you’ve waited long enough; you’re ready to get what you want. There is no harm in this perspective now as long as you don’t go too far in your self-indulgences. It’s OK to have the second dessert. But think twice about the third or fourth helping before giving in.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might feel tired today, and may not want to spend your entire day trying to meet everyone else’s expectations. You’re eager to break the mold of responsibility and let others fend for themselves. It’s time to satisfy your own needs by doing something memorable. Your previous commitments can be better fulfilled after you take some quality time for yourself.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can turn a fleeting conversation into a long-winded philosophical debate or a passing celebrity crush into a major love fantasy because everything is taking on larger than life proportions now. Of course, you’re enjoying this sweet phase while your key planet Jupiter inspires beautiful Venus. Don’t be concerned if you waste the day engaging in pleasant social interactions and have little to show for it, except for fond memories.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Pampering yourself can be somewhat disconcerting because you are overly concerned about how you could be more productive today. However, if you have been working too hard and doing all your chores responsibly, this may be a welcome day of rest. Allow yourself to indulge your senses a bit more than usual now, especially if you believe you earned it.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

An authority figure may remind you to complete your unfinished chores, but you aren’t very interested in doing the right thing today. Loving Venus opposes jovial Jupiter in your playful 5th House of Romance, motivating you to have fun, wherever the opportunity arises. Go on and enjoy yourself now while you can. You’ll have time next week to tie up loose ends.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are being pulled in two directions today, and there’s no need to try to resolve the dilemma right away. On one hand, you feel a growing sense of urgency to express whatever’s on your mind. On the other hand, you want to sidestep any complications now so you can have time to relax. Even if the pleasant events of the day distract you from what you intended to do, there really isn’t any harm in having a bit of fun while you have the chance.

Day of the Goat – Capricorn Begins

Element: Earth
Altar: Set with cloths of black and dark brown and dark grey, a mountain of stones of any kind but especially obsidian and granite, lead sinkers, a chain, and the figure of a goat.

Invocation to Capricorn

Climber of the highest mountain,
Goat whose strength does not give in,
Child of Saturn, chained god,
Who is a friend to hardship and endurance,
Whose gift is Persistence,
Bless us with the ability
To keep going even when the way is hard
Even when all hope seems to be lost,
Even when there is no light on the horizon.
Even in the utter darkness,
Never let us lose sight of our goals.
By the power of all aspiration,
You challenge us to help each other
Achieve what we have yearned for.
May we all go forth
In unswerving loyalty.

Chant:
Under the Earth
Under the ground
Is the birth of mountains found.

(Let all present hear the invocation on their knees, on the hardest floor, save for those who have an infirmity that must be taken into consideration. The singing also should be done kneeling, and afterwards let each person prostrate themselves on the ground, and remain that way, face down, meditating on the earth beneath them, until the hour is over.)

Current Moon Phase for Dec. 22nd: First Quarter

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/66% illumination)

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

The WOTC’s Spell for December 22nd: Peace and Love Stone Spell

The WOTC’s Spell for December 22nd

Peace and Love Stone Spell

Love and peace are powers greater than we can know, but we can tap into the energies that surround these concepts and bring them into the new day by anointing a rose quartz with gardenia today. As you anoint the stone, whisper “peace” and “love” to yourself, magnifying the energy in the stone. Carry the stone with you today and any day you desire peace and love. A few times each day, take a moment to slow and deepen your breathing. Holding the stone in your hand, inhale and say the work “peace” to yourself. Feel a peaceful sensation fill your body. As you exhale, think of the word “love” and see a loving pink light flow through you into the world. Repeat two or three more times and any time you need to feel the spell.

Good Afternoon dear brothers and sisters! This is my Yule gift’s to Lady A, doing the postings after our Yule Celebration. We had a wonderful celebration and I hope you do too. The guys were ready to celebrate as soon as Lady A close up shop here. She told them they could get some chairs and benches out and we would be back in a little bit. The joke was on the guys, Lady A told us she wasn’t planning on coming back to at least 6:30. She told us we could come when ever we got ready. I showed up at 7:00 to see if there was any help needed. There always is. The food was out on the tables (buffet style). I was in charge of the drinks. Everything when smoothly. We all ate supper, then everyone helped clean up. We went to the gathering room and all had a seat. It was time to light the fire in the fireplace and tell stories to the children. We read a few stories then the kids got anxious. It was time to exchange gifts. We have a rule that we never purchase gifts. Everything is handmade which makes it nice.

After the gifts were opened, we started caroling. We sang tons of Pagan carols. While we sang, Lady A and the others that would be in the ritual quietly disappeared. Lady A doesn’t like take the part of High Priestess especially since she is a Solitary. She has more knowledge than any of us, so she got voted in years ago. Lady A’s husband is a Druid, he takes the position of High Priest. Slowly and quietly the music starts to fade.  The group parts way and in the huge doorway, stays Lady A looking so beautiful and radiant. Then her husband, so handsome and gleaming with joy of the ritual to come. The procession starts through the cabin, out the door and down to the cleared wooded area. Next comes the ritual, which I won’t give you a play by play of it. We did all manage to stay up and see the Sun rise this morning. It was a grand sight to see.

I hope everyone of you were able to have a very merry Yule celebration. Below I have posted a photo of our bonfire.
