General Description:
The Lamas of Tibet encourage all sorts of magic. Their religion is a form of Buddhism, introduced into Tibet about 750 A.D. It is corrupted with the worship of demons, and many curious magical beliefs. The Food Charm is used to stamp the form of their god Buddha on their food for protection against the powers of evil, and for happiness, both of the physical and spiritual body. The device shows the god Buddha probably surrounded with the emblematic circle of rice, which in Tibet means the Wheel of Life, or misfortunes roll off, and good fortune rolls on.

Porcupine has appeared in your reading today to bring a message of innocence and trust. Although Porcupine can throw quills when cornered, he is gentle, loving, and non-aggressive. Is there an area of your life that need Porcupine energy? Have you lost the ability to trust??

The Magus
The Magus is the physical embodiment of decisive action based upon knowledge and aimed squarely at specific goals. Thoroughly Yang by nature and firmly set in the material world, he none-the-less has a powerful spiritual connection as well. His knowledge, wisdom and skill are all encompassing. He is complete. His power as a creator is unmatched on our earthly plane. He is self-aware and unafraid to act. His enormous strength gives him the freedom to act as he chooses. However, responsibility comes with that freedom. Because he is not bound to the restraints of others he must choose how to act. The question that always lies before him is should he act morally, or forsake ethics for personal gain.
As a daily card, The Magus suggest you currently possess a tremendous power and freedom to move your life in any direction you choose. In short, you can make things happen. Your true challenge at the moment is to move forward without trampling the dreams of others. Fortunately your moral fiber is strong as well, and will guide you down the right path.

What has traditionally been known as the Judgement card, sometimes entitled Resurrection, represents the great reunion that the ancients believed would happen once in every age. This was the time when souls are harvested and taken Home to their place of origin, outside the solar system. Then the World is seeded with a batch of new souls and the process starts over.
From a modern point of view, this great reunion — which includes every personality that you have ever been and every soul that you have done deep work with — reunites to consciously complete the process. In a way, we symbolically celebrate this returning to center every year on our birthday.
In personal terms, the Judgment cards points to freedom from inner conflicts, and so clear a channel, that the buried talents and gifts of past incarnations can come through an individual in this lifetime. This card counsels you to trust the process of opening yourself, because what emerges is of consistently high quality. You can effortlessly manifest as a multi-dimensional being, and assist in evoking that response from others.
It’s tricky to distinguish clever banter from an outright conflict today as the interactive Gemini Moon fuels all forms of interaction. However, the give and take of conversation could turn nasty this morning when the Moon forms an anxious alignment with combative Mars. Thankfully, we’re less interested in winning a debate now than in keeping the discussion alive. Ultimately, a flexible attitude enables us to avoid getting hooked by the drama.
Everything seems to be jumping today yet you’re uncertain whether or not you like it. This high-frequency buzz isn’t necessarily good for getting your chores done because you can be a bit scattered while juggling too many activities. At first you might have fun, but then your amusement could turn to dismay when you realize that you can’t keep up with what you started. Do yourself a favor; don’t try to fit so much into your day and you’ll be happier with the results.
You might want to try something that’s out of the ordinary today, but it’s still wise to think twice before you stir up more trouble than you need. If you aren’t sure if your plan is a good idea, wait until tomorrow when your desires will be more rational. Finding a healthy outlet for your restlessness could alleviate the temptation to agitate an already unstable situation. Satisfy your taste for adventure in a way that you won’t regret.
You are acutely aware that you have more options now than you previously realized. Although having so many choices is an exciting prospect, the Moon’s visit to your sign today also poses problems of its own, since you might not be able to decide which strategy makes the most sense. Don’t waste energy spinning your wheels trying to force an answer now because it probably won’t be the right one if it doesn’t come naturally. Wait for your intuition to guide you in the right direction.
Your mind is abuzz with original ideas today, but you’re wise to keep quiet because you might not be able to explain yourself very well. Instead of attempting to convince anyone that your plans could be successful now, just concentrate on doing the work. Once you have some positive results to show for your efforts, others will be more likely to roll up their sleeves and jump in to support you.
Your attempts to make any headway on a variety of projects may be stymied today for several different reasons. Although you might have good intentions coupled with tireless enthusiasm, you still could end up feeling frustrated unless you can prioritize and focus on only one thing at a time. However, if you just can’t resist, at least give yourself a break and take it easy for a bit before adding more to your plate.
A flurry of unexpected events tests your ability to multitask today. Fortunately, you could come through with flying colors if you look at it as a game you need to win. But if you take yourself too seriously now, you’re likely to sabotage your efforts because of a fear of failure. However, if you’re not overly attached to the outcome, it might seem as if time slows down, allowing you to magically complete everything right on schedule.
You could be in a playful mood today, even if you have a lot of work to do. Thankfully, your easygoing attitude enables you to overcome most obstacles with finesse. Spend a bit of time making plans for an upcoming adventure or vacation. It doesn’t matter if it’s only a night on the town; just having something fun on your calendar will help you to settle down and focus on the mundane chores you have to do right now.

You might be feeling a bit irresponsible today, even if you have pressing obligations. It’s not that you plan to blow off your commitments; instead, you may grow bored with the required level of concentration. Your thoughts are moving at light speed and they just don’t seem to fit into the narrow confines of your agenda. Don’t beat yourself up if you cannot hold your focus now; things will quickly return to normal in the next few days.
Your ideas may not make a whole lot of sense to your friends and family today, but then again, you might not care if anyone understands you, anyhow. You’re currently on an individuality kick and want to do everything in a radical manner. Although it’s fine to demonstrate your independence, you can take it too far now. Moderating your brilliance with a touch of practicality will enhance your life instead of just turning it upside down.
You are suddenly quite clear about what you want, but as soon as you open your mouth to share your thoughts with your friends your solid plan starts to melt into an idle fantasy. Part of the problem now may be that you don’t know when to stop talking. Remember, the fewer words you speak today, the more precise your message.
One of today’s best alignments clocks in early when Juno in Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer (1:48AM). Take advantage of a lull in the battle between the sexes and since partners are on their best behavior. Showering a dear one with affection is a winner. Nevertheless, the investment scene is somewhat murky at best due to a frictional, 45-degree link from Pallas to Vesta (9:54AM). Plus, the monthly Moon-Pluto union (4:36PM) should be watched in order that you tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration without egocentrically hurting a loved one’s feelings. Another challenging time-period arises later on when the monthly Moon-Venus conjunction (6:58PM) fosters a sense of love, joy and friendship, but only five minutes later, Mercury moving 45-degrees to Pluto (7:07PM) can act like a temporary, mind-numbing wrecking ball. Stay alert to the persevering presence of earthy Capricorn Moon all day. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Beautiful youth of the high winds
Rider of the eagle
You who knew a mortal life
And was transformed
By the power of love
And the willingness to serve,
Let us learn those lessons,
That we may fly high
And come to know divinity
In every way possible.
Cupbearer of the Gods,
Let us drink of your clear sight
Let us taste of your generosity
Let us remember your story
As one of inspiration.
Chant: Kouros Askophoroi Kouros Askophoroi
(One man who has been chosen to do the work of the ritual comes forth with the cup or horn and says, “I am at your service. Drink of my love.” All drink, and the rest is poured as libation. Ideally, this should be a man whose sexual preferences are for other men, or at least who is not averse to deeply loving other men in his heart. If it is possible, the Great Rite for men shall then be performed by two men either of the household or brought in as visitors, and all shall sit in a circle facing outward as they are wrapped in a blue cloth and lie in the center. When it is done, all shall go to their quarters and meditate on Love and service, or have ritual sex, alone or with others. Such ritual sex that is done with others should concentrate on sexual service to each other.)
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.
Set altar facing East. Use the following items:
One blue candle
3 kernels unpopped corn
One apple cut on the cross, showing the pentagram inside
Light your candle with the following words:
“Great Goddess, Lady of the Summerlands, Mother to us all. I welcome you to this place of power and offer thanks to you for what you have given me. I am a priestess of your path and I see with your eyes. You guide me in the lessons I must learn.”Put the bottom half of the apple in front of you. Charging the three kernels of corn between your hands, say:
“As the Maiden is ripe with potential, so is my life. As the Mother gives birth, so do my thoughts. As the Crone nourishes life, so do I nourish mine.”Place the kernels in the center of the core-pentagram and melt wax from your candle to cover them. Replace the top of the apple while the wax is till warm. Let the apple sit on your altar for 3 days and nights. Remove wax token and bury apple. The wax token can remain on your altar for as long as you wish.
Rites of passage are rituals that mark important moments in the wheel of human life. The birth of a child, coming of age, the death of a loved one, marriage, and eldership are five rites of passage that immediately come to mind. At the birth of a child, Wiccans welcome his spirit into the world. This process often includes an introduction to all the elements and a blessing.
When that child comes of age, he has the right to become a fully recognized adult member of the community and begin participating fully in ritual (if he so wishes). The coming-of-age ceremonies vary from culture to culture but generally include elements of learning, initiation, and social affirmation. At this time, magickal tools are often presented as gifts and he is now expected to be responsible for them.
The marriage (or handfasting) ceremony allows the community to witness and support the adult’s choice of a life partner and links two spirits into a harmonious one (in which neither individual is lost). A magickal marriage often includes jumping over a broomstick or sword at the end of the ritual. This rite marks passage into a new life together and also fosters fertility.
Eldership honors a person’s wisdom and contributions to the community. Croning ceremonies are usually celebrated when the witch has completed her second Saturn Return (at the age of about fifty-eight to sixty). Some things do get better with age, and magick is certainly one of them. The Neo-Pagan community does not view old age as a detriment; it is respected and the insights that old witches offer are gratefully accepted.
At the end of a witch’s life, her spirit is ushered on to its next form of existence. This ritual is typically called a Summerland rite. At this gathering, people open the circle for the spirit of that individual to join them in one last dance and song, and to say their farewells. In this way, the circle provides peace and closure, trusting that everyone will meet again in another life.
