Monday, Monday, Oh It’s Monday Again! Happy & Blessed Monday To All The Witches Of The Craft!

Oh, well if you had a Monday like we are having around here, you might feel the same way. We have contractors running out of our ears. And to think this place was once so peaceful, AH! Hammers banging, wood being threw about, gee! We got up once and went to the other side of the building and be darned if they didn’t follow us over there. But at least we are getting everything fixed, FINALLY!

 

Now changing the subject, Mystie and myself had numerous animal calls this weekend. We had so many I am going to apply for the Animal Warden’s job before its over with, lol! But we are currently swamped with animal and needs some help. We are currently running low on baby bottles, formula, feed, cat food, straw and a few other things. We are in need of donations desperately. We have so many animals and any amount can help. You don’t realize how much cat food a $1.00 will buy. That is why we say no amount is too small and is always greatly appreciated. I have took some photos of our latest arrivals, so you can see were your donations are going and who they are benefiting.

Thank you so much for your help,

Lady A

Now you see, we are desperately needing donations. Anything you can give, we will appreciate and so will the animals.

Thank you again.

Emergency Poppet on the Fly

Emergency Poppet on the Fly

Material: Aluminum foil

Perhaps something has come up in a hurry, and you feel it needs immediate magical attention. Use a piece of aluminum foil to whip together a quickie poppet — shape it into the figure of a person. Fill with any magical components that might be handy — bits of wood, dirt, grass, even a name scribbled on a piece of paper — and personalize the poppet.

Poppet to Silence a Gossip

Poppet to Silence a Gossip

Material: Ground beef or other squishy meat

Herbs: Horseradish, pepper, rue, yarrow, valerian

Shape the meat and herbs into a person, and create a “meat puppet” in the same way you’d make a fabric one. As you make the doll, tell it that it’s time to be silent, and tell no more gossipy stories. Remind it that people who can’t say nice things shouldn’t say anything at all. Dispose of the doll by either burning it on your grill and burying it someplace far away, feeding it to your dog, or leaving it out in the sun to rot.

Poppet To Bring Love Into Your Life

To Bring Love Into Your Life

 

Material: Red or pink silk or cotton

Herbs: Rose petals, parsley, and peppermint

Gemstones: Barite, jade, rose quartz

Make a poppet to represent the object of your affection — remember that in some magical traditions it’s frowned upon to make a specific person the target of your working. If you are simply trying to attract love to yourself, but you don’t have a specific person in mind, focus on all the desirable qualities you want to see in a potential lover.

Poppet To Heal a Sick Person

Poppet To Heal a Sick Person

Material:

White cotton or unbleached muslin

Herbs: Lemon balm, feverfew, ivy, and pine.

Gemstones: Bloodstone, turquoise

When you make this poppet, be sure to indicate what you are trying to heal, whether it’s a case of tennis elbow, a chronic infection, or even a broken heart. Focus all of your energy on the ailment in question

Poppet for Gaining Financial Success

Poppet for Gaining Financial Success

Material:

satin, green or gold or silver

Herbs: clover, chamomile, ginger, cinnamon

Gemstones: snowflake obsidian or sodalite

 

Create a poppet that represents yourself. As you make it, focus on the positive attributes that you possess which will make you appealing to a potential employer. Another option is to create the poppet in the image of the employer (include business cards or letterhead inside, if you can get them) and tell the employer poppet why you’re the best person for the job.

Conjuring By Colors & The Serenity Spectrum

Conjuring By Colors

Color Magick is a basic tenet for working spells. The properties of each color determine how it impacts your mood, frame of mind, and the potency of your spell casting.

Be mindful of the color of the candle, gemstone, and flower you choose; carefully pick the hues of your clothing, furniture, and even the paint on the walls.

For example, if you are given to moodiness or anger, remove all RED from your home décor. If you are predisposed to melancholia, a VIOLET scheme may depress you.

Why Does The Chinese New Year Date Change Every Year?

Chinese New Year

By , About.com Guide

If you live in an area that has a Chinatown, chances are that at some point you’ve watched the Chinese New Year celebrations. However, Chinese New Year (also called the Spring Festival) doesn’t begin and end on a single weekend. Instead, the Spring Festival lasts a full fifteen days, with preparations beginning before the old year has come to a close. By the time the New Year arrives, families have already spent several days preparing for the big event; cleaning the house, buying gifts, and cooking festive foods.

People often wonder why the date for Chinese New Year changes each year. The Chinese calendar  is a combination solar/lunar calendar, based on a number of rather complex astronomical calculations, including the longitude of the sun. Chinese New Year falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice (all months begin with a new moon). In 2013, Chinese New Year Day falls on February 10th.

How did Chinese New Year come to be celebrated? According to an ancient legend, people were once tormented by a beast called a Nian – a ferocious creature with an extremely large mouth, capable of swallowing several people in a single bite. Relief from the Nian came only when an old man tricked the beast into disappearing. In reality, New Years festivities probably evolved from a desire to celebrate the end of winter and the fertility and rebirth that come with the spring, much like the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia. Today, New Years is about family reunions and wishing everyone good fortune in the coming year.

The Spring Festival is China’s major traditional holiday, and is also celebrated in other parts of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam (where New Year’s Day is called “Tet”), Malaysia, Taiwan, and of course, Hong Kong. However, in my research I couldn’t find any mention of Chinese New Year’s celebrations in Japan. Lisa Heupel, an expert on Japanese Culture, came up with a possible reason – apparently the Japanese followed the lunar calendar until the middle of the nineteenth century. However, after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, they adopted the Gregorian calendar. Since that time New Years is celebrated on January 1st. While there are other popular festivals celebrating the arrival of spring, such as Hanami or the cherry blossom viewing festival, for the most part Chinese New Year goes unnoticed in Japan, except for a few small celebrations by the Chinese who live there.

Daily Feng Shui News for Feb. 10th – ‘Chinese New Year’

It’s both my birthday and the start of the Chinese New Year, so you know there’s going to be a celebration tonight! Part of that party will be a traditional grand New Year’s feast including salmon (for longevity and intelligence), cabbage (for financial fortune and riches) and mandarin oranges (for good health) eaten to bring good luck all the next year! No meat is eaten on New Year’s Day out of respect for animals and knives or sharp instrument are not used lest we cut our good fortunes in half. Wishes (birthday or New Year) are always made on this day as well. Write your wish on a piece of paper with a red pen and place it inside a red envelope. Burn the envelope to seal your resolution and make it permanent. These special day smoke signals bring big and rewarding results! So if you got ’em, light ’em, and Happy New Year!

Your I Ching Hexagram for Feb. 10th is 62: Attention to Detail

62: Attention to Detail

Sunday, Feb 10th, 2013

hexagram09

 

 

 

 

Ambitious undertakings are not in order now, but attention to small matters brings progress. Such is the case of a person whose resources are meager, but who, through modesty and perseverance, rises to accomplish great things.

The key to success when small potential influences the larger scene is to avoid pretentious ambitions and grandiose goals. The power of the small is served by slow and steady advancement, and succeeds through an honest awareness of its own limitations, without reservation.

Modesty stemming from recognizing your limitations is a fine quality, but it can be seen as weakness if it is not accompanied by conscientiousness. It is important to understand the demands of your situation, and not to expect success in big things right now. The wise person recognizes the nature of the time. So, know your own role, carefully attend to details and act with humility, and you can achieve your goal even with few resources.

Your Guiding Animal Spirit for February 10th is The Loon

Your Animal Spirit for Today

loon

Loon

Loons mate for life, and their medicine is about loyalty, family, and deep caring for one another. If you’re experiencing a relationship fraught with power struggles, you are NOT practicing Loon medicine. If your relationship has BECOME a power struggle, Loon has appeared to remind you that this is a time of equal sharing and equal happiness. Something is amiss and Loon thinks you already know what it is.

Introducing…Aquarius

Introducing…Aquarius

One of the most common mistakes people make when discussing Aquarius is that they assume he/she is a water sign. After all, he/she is the water bearer. But the truth is he/she’s an Air sign and that’s an important detail!

To often you see Aquarius represented as the generic person pouring a jug of water or even worse just the jug of water. There is no hint to the intellectual and cerebral air quality of the Aquarian. As an air sign, she is focused on higher thinking and pushing the boundaries of common and closed thinking. If everyone is going one direction she will go the other in hopes of discovering a new and better way to meet the needs of the greater whole.

We started with a forward moving stance. She is a futuristic, forward thinking woman. Aquarians have no time to look or focus on the past, they focus on the future and believe that however something was done, it could be done differently or better going forward. Seeking to fight for justice and the underdog, our Aquarian is dressed and built to campaign for any cause she feels is under represented or oppressed. She also is a lover of technology and innovation. She is not afraid of technology or gadgets and widgets that can help better our lives. She is quick to adopt them to her arsenal of thought and solutions.

Her water jug is still a very important aspect of her character. Instead of her passively pouring water from it or carrying it on her head, we chose to have her securely sling it over her shoulder. This allows her to bring it into adverse or water starved situations. She knows that despite all the technology and advancements available, humans cannot survive without water. Water is the most powerful source of nourishment for our bodies and souls and Aquarians never lose sight of that. They know that higher thinking comes from well fueled minds – and the mind can be tricked or fooled if starved for water.

Physical Characteristics

Physically our Aquarian is in fighting shape but not because she likes to fight, rather she is about endurance. She relies on her ability to go long stretches of time without rest or nourishment and living solely off her creative vision. She is not a slave to fashion but definitely uses her cloths and accessories to express her inability to conform and desire to pioneer and blaze new trails of thought and visual innovation. She’s creative and a one of kind. Charged with technology she has a single strand of fiber optic hair lighting her way through dark and unchartered territories of thought.

Zodiac Super Power

Our Aquarian’s super power is her technology power hand and fighting physique. She has a leg up on the other signs of the Zodiac because she can see into the future and knows that there is almost always a “better way” to do or see things. Her water is magical and fuels even the most creatively starved thinkers€ are pushing stalled thought or injustice toward progress.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, February 10th

We can manifest our dreams from the seeds we plant as the ingenious Aquarius New Moon at 2:20 am EST marks the beginning of a new emotional cycle. But we must manage our exuberance because energetic Mars forms a dynamic square with powerful Jupiter, unleashing unbridled enthusiasm. Although a false sense of confidence tempts us to make commitments we can’t keep, a looming Venus-Saturn square counters our optimism with a more serious attitude.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your future may be looking bright now that the Aquarius New Moon lands in your 11th House of Hopes and Dreams, making it difficult for you to contain your excitement. However, you must be careful because you could be more gullible than usual. Your friends’ schemes for world domination might not be as sound as you think. Solutions appear closer than they actually are now, so keep your enthusiasm up while proceeding with common sense.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be stressed out by your own career plans now as you realize the commitment of time and energy it will take to achieve your goals. The Aquarius New Moon falls in your 10th House of Public Responsibility, yet you might feel restrained by the expectations of your partner or parents. Unfortunately, you can’t easily choose between work and family, so split your time equally during the next couple of weeks. Keep your eyes on the future while managing your relationships in the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You have so many things going on all at once that it may be difficult to finish everything you start. Your goals are set high and the Aquarius New Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas has you believing you can accomplish more than usual. Although you have the skills required to do the job, you still might not be able to reach the stars. Avoid disappointment by finding satisfaction in each and every little task you do.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You could have unusual ideas about how to work with your colleagues today, but you might want more freedom of movement than you actually have in your current situation. The innovative Aquarius New Moon activates your 8th House of Transformation, yet you don’t have much latitude for experimentation now. If you want to gain the cooperation of others, don’t risk muddying the waters by revealing too much about your feelings. Instead, maintain clear boundaries between your personal and professional worlds for the best results.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are like a magnet for brilliant people now that the eccentric Aquarius New Moon stimulates your 7th House of Relationships. Unusual companions will likely play an important role in your immediate future. However, your assertive approach can complicate a situation, so it’s wise to let others take the lead in social interactions today. Although you may be infused with self-confidence, stay cool and work toward being more cooperative rather than blazing your own trail.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clean your closets, organize your information and sort through your files today. But do it in your own unique way because the individualistic Aquarius New Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Self-Improvement is a cosmic permission slip to be weird as you go about your chores. Don’t worry about involving others now as you establish your routine. An early spring cleaning will give you a new lease on life.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Use whatever technology is available to share your creative and fun-loving side today. The futuristic Aquarius New Moon falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression, inspiring you to try something new. But your idealistic desire for spontaneity is at odds with your practical need to finish your chores. Take a computer break to draw a picture, write a poem or play a game before getting back to more serious endeavors. Be responsible, but give your inner child permission to come out and play.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might have unavoidable domestic responsibilities that require you to stay home and take care of personal business today rather than heading out into the world. The unpredictable Aquarius New Moon lands in your 4th House of Emotional Security, encouraging you to find shelter from the storms of life within the safety of your family. Don’t worry about any other activities you are missing; there will be plenty of time to chase your dreams another day.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s Aquarius New Moon in your 3rd House of Communication may make your life rather hectic as the complexity of your schedule increases. You might want to let the less critical issues slide, but you probably enjoy the energy as you bounce around from one thing to another. Just be sure to follow through on the details or they will come back to haunt you later on. Thankfully, your friends and family can help you stay on track with their confidence in your success.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Aquarius New Moon activates your 2nd House of Possessions, emphasizing money issues over the next couple of weeks. Maybe there is growing uncertainty in your cash flow or, perhaps, you need to juggle resources to cover expenses. Be wise and plan how to use the days ahead to stabilize your financial condition. Although you might be overly optimistic one moment and cautious the next, tempering the extremes is your best bet.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Insightful mental flashes bring you a new awareness about a current relationship as today’s New Moon in your sign puts you in touch with your emotions. You may need to explore ways to increase your personal freedom if you feel constrained by someone close to you. However, if you are already feeling independent, you might actually seek security from a partnership. Either way, stand between your dreams and reality so you can draw the two closer together.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Oftentimes your dreams are elusive and slip away before you have an opportunity to write them down. Now, as the electric Aquarius New Moon stimulates your 12th House of Soul Consciousness, the images are more vibrant than ever and can even overflow into your waking life. Fantasies may be subtle but are also quite powerful. Making time to drift into the hidden recesses of your imagination inspires you to realize your fullest potential.

Get ready for a spark of genius! The quirky Aquarius New Moon on February 10 ignites unusual ideas and increases the urge for freedom.

This brilliant energy will affect some people more than others.

Mental Mercury’s challenging square with expansive Jupiter encourages a wide range of thinking, but it can also raise optimism beyond reason. A square between Venus and Saturn suggests that limited resources or relationship issues need to be addressed before we can tap into the full potential of this innovative and liberating lunation.

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Friends and organizations can take you in a different direction with this Aquarius New Moon in your team-oriented 11th House of Groups. You may find inspiration while working for a cause or participating in a group project. Although you will probably be excited by a new idea, it’s best not to push it on others now. Do some research and let it simmer until you have studied it thoroughly before sharing it with the world.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This cutting edge Aquarius New Moon lands in your 10th House of Career and Public Responsibility, where it can put additional obligations on your plate. The challenge is to adjust to changing conditions, rules or expectations that can take you out of your comfort zone. But if you’re ready to jump into the future, you can help to lead to way to breakthroughs in your professional life.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You may want to hit the road with this New Moon in your 9th House of Travel and Higher Mind. Broadening your experiences through school, intellectual pursuits and connections with faraway places helps to satisfy your curious nature. Your ruling planet Mercury’s conjunction with impatient Mars can provoke impulsive action or careless words, so think twice before leaping or speaking.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Relationship boundaries might be stretched with the unconventional Aquarius New Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Attracting unusual people can be exciting if you’re willing to learn some different ways to connect. A flexible and open-minded attitude allows you to explore unfamiliar experiences that invite intimacy and can even help establish new business partnerships.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

The quirky Aquarius New Moon in your 7th House of Others attracts unconventional people. Relationships require more breathing space as you and your partner need more freedom. Keeping an open mind allows you to benefit from unique individuals who challenge your usual ways of thinking. Being friendly and open-minded prevents those differences from driving you apart.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

A fresh approach to work should make your daily routine more interesting now. The groundbreaking Aquarius New Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment, triggering changes on the job. Adjusting to surprises is a must because old systems may no longer be effective. It’s healthier to adapt and prepare for the future than to stubbornly stick to outmoded ways of doing business.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Fun and games are on the agenda with this lively lunation in your 5th House of Romance and Self-Expression. The inventive Aquarius New Moon puts a sparkle in your eye and enhances your creative capacities. This is a time to be a performer, even if you’re shy and uncertain. The support of a friend will help you come across with more confidence in your personal and professional lives.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

It’s never too late to change the past’s influence on you. The experimental Aquarius New Moon occurs in your 4th House of Family and Personal History, giving you a fresh perspective that can free you from old ideas and influences. This is a time to plant seeds for a more inspiring future, perhaps encouraging you to consider relocation or making a major change in your professional life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Bright ideas are popping with this brainy Aquarius New Moon in your 3rd House of Information. Lively conversations can open your mind to radically different concepts that spur you to learn even more. Enthusiasm can add passion to your words, but try to keep your messages relatively simple. It’s easy to say too much and complicate matters when you don’t adjust your speech to your audience.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

The impulse to experiment triggered by this Aquarius New Moon lands in your 2nd House of Self-Worth, where fresh ideas about earning money can arise. It’s important to see yourself in a new light to cash in on this potential opportunity. You have undeveloped abilities that require an investment of time and energy, but even more importantly, faith in your ability to reinvent yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

This unconventional New Moon in your sign lights up your personality. Taking chances with your appearance and approach is worthwhile, even if you’re uncertain how others are going to react. You can’t please everyone, but it’s essential that you please yourself. If you’re having fun, that’s the best way to make you more attractive in personal relationships and in professional matters.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

A change of direction in your spiritual path is possible with this New Moon in your 12th House of Divinity. It’s a time to renew faith in your current beliefs with a fresh perspective or to recognize how they limit you. Exploring different sources of inspiration, both religiously and creatively, renews your sense of purpose. Freeing yourself from sacrificial roles is also appropriate.
