Your Daily Rune for May 22 is Laguz

Your Rune For Today
Laguz

Laguz is the feminine Rune. It denotes a deep sexuality and fertility. Laguz also represents that which is ever changing and renewal. You may be in a tremendous spiritual growth period.

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Laguz

laguz: water

 

Phonetic equivalent: l

 

DIVINATORY MEANINGS: emotions, fears, unconscious mind, things hidden, revelation, intuition, counselling

 

MAGICAL USES: enhancing psychic abilities, confronting fears, stabilizing mental or emotional disorders, uncovering hidden things

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES: Njord, Midgard Serpent

 

ANALYSIS: When most people think of water, they generally think of its more pleasant associations – peacefulness, love, compassion, intuition, and the emotions in general. However, we must remember that, to the Norse, water most often meant the sea, and the sea was a terrifying, unpredictable place, home of the Midgard serpent and the grave of many sailors. Laguz, then, should be thought of in terms of the lighter and the darker sides of the element of water. It speaks to our primal fears of the dark, the cold, and all those terrifying things hidden deep within our subconscious minds.

 

Like eihwaz, which forced the journeyer to confront his or her mortality, laguz makes us examine the  underlying roots of our and behavior, and allows us to modify those aspects which are hindering our spiritual development. The understanding and wisdom gained through eihwaz and the runes that followed have prepared the journeyer to face this darker side (represented by laguz) and accept it as an integral part of their selves. Laguz also prepares the person to take on the task of helping others through this self-examination process, allowing them to empathize more strongly and share their own experiences, making it (among other things) the rune of the spiritual counselor.

Hexagram of the Day

43: Determination

May 22nd, 2015
hexagram09
Personal resolution points to a breakthrough, but decisive action is required. As long as you diligently hold your ground and ward off negative tendencies and influences, the good will prevail.

The persistence of negativity, which is that which opposes the good, is a constant in human affairs. Just when it is thought to have been eradicated, up it will pop again, sprouting through some crack in the pavement of civilized society. Evil need not take dramatic or extravagant forms, such as those exhibited in Nazi Germany. Garden-variety lies and deceit are much more common and persistent, but should be rooted out just as diligently. One must be determined to not accidentally feed negativity — either in one’s social or professional life, or in one’s own soul. In either case, definite rules must be followed for the struggle to succeed.

The first rule: do not compromise with evil. Destructive or exploitive actions must be identified openly for what they are, and discredited. The second: one cannot successfully resist negativity on its own terms. New, positive alternatives that lead away from the source of the problem are generally more successful, and appropriate than trying to counter negativity with raw power. The third rule: the means used to counter negativity must be consistent with the end to be achieved. One cannot stop the spreading of lies by spreading more of them.

Your Personal Tarot Growth Cards for May 22

Your Personal Tarot Growth Cards for Today

This reading represents influences you will need to take advantage of over the next year to weave your way through life optimally.

The World

Like The Sun, The World brings good blessings to your set of personal cards. The World appears where all is in balance. It allows you to act effectively not only as an individual but as a member of a group too. The World promises contentment, fulfillment and completeness to those under its influence. It doesn’t guarantee there will not be moments of strife or discord in your life, but it does indicate that your trials and tribulations will be overcome; that ultimately you will know inner-peace and contentment. The World suggests you have found or will find your place in our Universe—that place where all is as it should be.

When Temperance or The Sun are among your personal cards, the influence of The World may be increased. Having The Hermit in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The World.

 

 

The Empress

The Empress is “The Earth Mother” of the Tarot. She embodies all that is nurturing, clean and wholesome. Her powers resonate from her drive to create and care for life on a grand scale. She is in tune with Nature’s rhythm and realizes that life’s most pleasurable moments often stem from the simplest things. She is not afraid to enjoy herself–to let loose—to the point of being lavish. Abundance and luxury are important to her. The Empress is completely comfortable with her femininity and her sexuality. She is sensual, earthy, generous, and likes the good life. Still, her driving force is a need to create and nurture, and fulfilling this need overrides everything else.

When The Lover or The Star are among your personal cards, the influence of The Empress may be increased. Having the Emperor or Death in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Empress.

Your Daily Personal Tarot Card for May 22 is The Lovers

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Lovers



The Lovers indicates both the most powerful of unions and the most of challenging conflicts humans must face. On one side The Lovers’ embodies love and union on a cosmic scale—a love so strong, so inherently good that it actually makes the lovers better, more than they really are. All of the elements are there for the perfect union. The Lovers represent all powerful unions in general, and the elements that create/sustain them. The problem The Lovers face is temptation and the decision to act morally or abandon their ethics to take advantage of other opportunities that would be defined as transgressions.

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, May 23rd

by Rick Levine

 

Recent tension in relationships is still on our minds today, yet the stress gradually gives way to a more cooperative flow of energy. It may take work, but we’re able to balance the lingering heaviness of Saturn with the lightheartedness of three planets in friendly Gemini. Fortunately, the lively Leo Moon helps to lift our spirits with her easy sextiles to Mars and Mercury. There is power in having a positive attitude if we don’t go too far.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may not catch up with your chores as quickly as you wish today, for you are preoccupied with pleasure rather than production. Thankfully, you might have the right idea about getting the distractions out of your system sooner than later. If you have a lot to do now, you won’t be able to procrastinate forever. Nevertheless, returning to your unfulfilled obligations with a happy heart enables you to accomplish more in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Domestic tasks are on the front burner today, including paying bills, emailing friends and even cleaning your home. However, you might not make measurable progress by the end of the day because you’re probably slow to get started, making it harder to get ahead. Nevertheless, your determination builds to a mid-afternoon crescendo, motivating you to finish strong. Just remember that everything could take longer than you expect, so cut yourself some slack instead of setting goals you cannot reach.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be stubbornly clinging to negative feelings about an unfinished conversation, but it’s wiser to let go of yesterday’s news and move on. You have other fish to fry now, and there’s no time to replay an interaction that didn’t go as you wanted. However, you could end up frustrating yourself today if you think you can somehow make everything right. Planning for new successes throughout the coming week is much more useful than worrying about the past.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s dangerous to jump to conclusions without getting your facts in order because once you make up your mind today you’re pretty certain that you are correct. Unfortunately, you could become a victim of believing your own hype now. The good news is your breadth of vision can fuel the most amazing discussions on a variety of interesting topics. Although your conversations might be quite fascinating, specific comments that remain unsaid may speak volumes. Sometimes, silence is louder than words.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Responding to the fallout from your anger could be a sore spot that resurfaces every now and then. However, you might believe that you already dealt with the original source of the problem. Luckily, you can count on your friends and relatives for support, which may be sufficient to guide you through these rough waters. Lean on the shoulders offered, but take full responsibility by learning from your past mistakes. Gracefully adapting to the changing tides demonstrates your magnanimity and your willingness to grow.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Relaxing isn’t as simple as it sounds these days because your unfulfilled commitments have piled up since Mercury turned retrograde a week ago. Although you’re buzzing all over the place, you probably wish you had several additional days packed into your weekend. Aside from wanting to accomplish more, you also need more time to think. Nevertheless, your time for contemplation is coming to an end. Instead of waiting for that magic moment, jump into the flow of activity and figure it out along the way the best you can.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Making a long-term plan can be tough now because several things you want to do interfere with existing obligations. You have one-too-many exciting choices in front of you, complicating matters even more. But don’t let anyone tell you that you must decide your future today, since it’s advisable to keep your options open for a while longer. There is currently a lot of clear blue sky around you, making everything seem better than it is. Wait until a few clouds return and see where the shadows appear before going on record with your final answer.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your anger may simmer beneath the surface all day, especially if anyone tries to talk you out of your feelings. Uncharacteristically, you’re willing — even eager — to change your mind today, but only on your own terms. If others don’t take the time to ask you what you want, then you won’t likely be ready to compromise. However, if someone is really interested in your perspective, you can be more open-minded now than anyone expects. A little mutual respect does the trick.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Establishing your top priorities is not a piece of cake today, especially if you’re unprepared to make an important decision yet. It’s not that you should forget about your objectives; it’s just you have a lot to gain now by following an intelligent friend or partner for a while instead of heading off on your own. Don’t worry about a missed opportunity because a new situation for advancement at your current job is likely. Paradoxically, easing off on your grip solidifies your current position and positively impacts your future.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Don’t be afraid to ask for advice as you navigate through uncharted territory today. It’s nearly impossible to make sense of everything because there could be so many possibilities, leaving you overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to figure it all out. Your stress multiplies if you believe that your current choice must be finalized now. Rest assured that you can still change your mind later without as much difficulty as you think. Show your courage and dare to be yourself.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Instead of booking your schedule so tightly that your entire day is locked down, try moving the energy by giving yourself more flexibility today. The easiest way to shake things up is to leave blocks of time completely unstructured to do as you please. It may also help to reexamine your motives for keeping so busy every moment of the day. Remember, you don’t have to put lots of activities on your calendar now in order to be considered a success. Not all those who wander are lost.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Revealing your feelings helps dissipate any lingering negativity; however, you could easily go overboard in the other direction now by pretending everything is just fine. However, don’t whitewash the truth just because it’s not pretty. Instead of trying to anticipate people’s reactions, concentrate on the accuracy of your message. Avoid the temptation to share your personal information as a way to get your friends and workmates to take notice. Your only real option is to take the high road and work for the good of all.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, May 22nd

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, May 22nd

by Rick Levine

 

Our efforts may seem futile today, but persistence brings the results we seek. The Sun’s annual opposition with taskmaster Saturn applies pressure in the realm of relationships as we meet up with resistance from others. The Moon’s shift into fiery Leo at 5:42 pm EDT brings enthusiasm when we actually need caution and common sense. Thankfully, a Lunar trine to Saturn helps us find the maturity necessary to overcome the obstacles that block our path.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t necessarily excel at following rules, but you must pay attention to them now or suffer the consequences. The lines are printed in a coloring book for a reason, even if you rebel against the idea of staying within them. Self-control counts far more than anything else these days, so establish clear guidelines and stick to them. Keep in mind that reaching your long-term goals is more rewarding than the temporary satisfaction of immediate gratification.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if you believe you must act with authority, don’t get so enamored with your role that you end up alienating your closest friends and family. Undoubtedly, maintaining your integrity when it comes to ethical issues is important, but it’s dangerous to force your beliefs onto others. Take your commitments seriously, but remember that compassion and cooperation are necessary components if you want your voice to have a positive impact on the people in your life.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Slowing down and doing a job methodically doesn’t come naturally to you busy Twins; you want to bolt ahead to the next compelling activity rather than learn an important lesson. Nevertheless, you won’t likely feel free to follow your own heart until you deal with a lingering relationship issue. Your big ideas may be knocked down a notch or two by someone in a powerful position. But don’t get discouraged; this is not about defeat. Restrictive circumstances are giving you a chance to become even more effective as you rework your plans, limit your options and create a more stable future.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

An emotionally intense interaction with someone at work could precipitate deep contemplation on your part. You may wonder how to cultivate more supportive business relationships. It’s not that anything in particular is wrong; it’s just that you’re determined to get your needs met even if satisfaction seems too far away. Soften your stance and let go of any self-criticism for now while you reevaluate all your alternatives. If you can imagine it, you can find a way to make it happen.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The weight of responsibility falls upon your shoulders today and you can’t decide whether to stand up even taller or just collapse under the pressure. However, giving up is not a viable option now. Bear the heavy burdens as best you can or they will grow more cumbersome over the next few weeks. Just be sure to use your common sense and draw a line when absolutely necessary. Know your limits and then communicate them clearly to those around you if you want things to change.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are aware of exactly what must be done today, but you may be inhibited by your previous commitments to others. People might not understand the hardship you are experiencing and it’s not necessarily wise to tell them now. Thankfully, you can surprise everyone with your high level of perfection. No one rises to the challenge better than you when it comes to performing under pressure.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Channeling your creativity into practical endeavors is critical today because you could otherwise fritter away an important opportunity. Even if you feel like your brilliance is bottled up, you can overcome your mental blocks to success by declaring your unwavering determination. Don’t allow non-believers to tell you what you can’t do. Nodding yes in agreement only encourages them. Defend your right to reach for the stars; once you’ve gathered enough information, taking a calculated risk makes the most sense.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Stand up tall and assume your rightful place within your family, workplace, or local community. Even if you are uncertain about your capabilities today, this isn’t the time to give them voice. Instead, express your vision as optimistically as you can. Naturally, reality may constrict your dream to make it fit into your life, but don’t sell yourself short before you start. Your confidence alone could inspire others to grant you the support you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Many people don’t share your cavalier philosophy and they worry about your future well-being. You might not want to hear the opinions of others as you attempt to gloss over their negativity. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to acknowledge the advice you receive in a matter-of-fact manner and use it to improve your plans, if necessary. Visionary thinking may be your strong suit, but your ideas will simply drift off into space if you don’t find a way to ground them in reality. This is a wonderful opportunity to create lasting changes if you have the sense to grab it before it’s gone.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Working harder may be your instinctive answer to the heightened stress now, but there’s a point at which additional effort just isn’t worth it. Knowing when to stop today can mean the difference between happiness and sorrow. You could feel great about your contribution if you simply give it your best shot and then relax and reflect upon your accomplishments. Taking your responsibilities seriously is one thing; carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders is beyond the call of duty.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your antennae are extended as far as they go now, but you’re not necessarily picking up the desired signals from your favorite station. You might prefer dance music, but instead are receiving serious cautionary lectures that make you wonder if you’re on the right path. Be patient and respectfully listen to the voices of authority, but remember that ultimately you are your own boss. Remain open to the incoming message, but turn the radio off once you’ve heard it and follow the beat of your own drums.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Evading your professional duties is nearly impossible today, even if the personal goals you have in mind are more worthy. You might have to get serious, buckle down and fulfill your immediate obligations before undertaking a more charitable endeavor. Even if it seems overwhelming at first, making a concrete plan improves your chances of pursuing a full spectrum of activities. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself and are willing to show up and do the work.

Weekend Love Horoscope

May 22-24: Responsible Fun

Maria DeSimoneMaria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

 

The good news? This Moon will be in Leo all weekend long, promising you plenty of opportunity to experience joy and romance. Leo wants to party and you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to be the center of attention and attract others your way. In fact, this will be one of those rare weekends when the Moon not only remains in the same sign, but also connects to one harmonious aspect after the other with the rest of the cosmic sky. That is like a rare crown jewel of goodness, supporting even-temperament and memorable moments.

Now, for the bad news. In the backdrop of this delicious weekend is a stodgy opposition between the Sun and Saturn — late Friday night. He’ll point a finger and remind you that it’s not OK to have fun if you’re shirking your obligations. The Sun and Saturn together shine a light on work and responsibility. Do yourself a favor and stay late at the office Friday night if you have to. Then party for the rest of the weekend without any repercussions.

This Weekend’s Romantic Rating*

* Heart ratings are based on the lunar cycle. They range from low to full, with low indicating a rocky weekend for romance and full indicating plenty of passionate potential.

WOTC Extra(b) – Your Time of Personal Power

Your Time of Personal Power

 

By keeping records of your spellwork, you should be able to figure out which days of the week or time of day your spells tend to work. Perhaps there’s a particular time of day or time during the moon cycle when you feel as if you could do anything, when raising energy is easy, when you can focus easily and tune out distractions with no problem. This, then, would be a power time for you.
Your power time is an alternate timing bonus for you. It’s like a secret weapon: you can default to casting a spell during your power time and know that it will have just as much impact as scheduling the spell for 7: 38 on a Thursday evening during the waning moon might have.
To pinpoint your power time, look through your spell journal. Your notes concerning the immediate results will be important: how did you feel during the actual casting of the spell itself? Conscientious maintenance of short-term and long-term results will be important as well. Look at the time, moon phase, or moon sign of the successful spells. Is there a pattern? Are you particularly on the ball when the moon is in Pisces, or in Virgo? Perhaps casting during the hour of Mars is the key to your success. Take a look at the weather as well. It may be that clear sunny days or cool evenings are your power times.
Everyone’s power time is different. You also might have more than one power time, which might make it difficult to narrow down. Don’t worry; the more often you cast spells, the clearer it will become.

Let’s Talk Witch – Timing of Manifestation

goth witchTIMING OF MANIFESTATION

A common question associated with timing concerns how long you’ll have to wait until you see the results of your efforts. There is no hard and fast rule about when success will manifest, and this is due to a number of variables such as the degree of concentration and focus, the amount of energy that went into the spell, the kinds of obstacles and challenges you are working against, and what your goal is.

As a general rule, however, your evaluation ought to be connected to the method of timing you employed in your spell. As I mentioned above, if you choose to cast a spell timed to a season, look for the manifestation of results to be reflected in that temporal process. One of the reasons why spellcrafters tend to use moon cycles more frequently than solar cycles is because the moon goes through a full cycle in approximately twenty-eight days, as opposed to the sun’s 365-day cycle. A standard practice is to wait one full lunar cycle before you evaluate the spell’s progress; that means if you haven’t seen any movement whatsoever concerning your problem within about twenty-eight days, note it down in your records and think about what to do next. Do you want to do a small spell to raise energy to support the original spell?

By the second lunar cycle after your spell (that’s just under two months), if you still haven’t seen any movement concerning your situation, it’s time to evaluate again. Do you want to recast the spell? Do you want to do another spell to remove obstacles?

In your first and second monthly evaluations, you’ll have to make a personal choice between leaving the original spell to do the work you sent it out to do, undisturbed; supporting the original spell by raising and sending it more energy; or redoing the spell completely. Have patience, and have faith.

Even though you may not see significant changes, the energy of a spell has a lot of little things to shift and nudge in order to rebalance a situation. It can take a while for any kind of result to become obvious.

If, by the time the moon has cycled three times after your original spell (that’s just under three months), you still haven’t felt or seen any change, then abandon the spell and approach the situation differently, perhaps with a different spell, a rephrased need, or a simplified goal.

A common error on the part of spellcasters is to assume that their spell isn’t working and to cast it again soon after the original spell. Ours is a society which functions on instant gratification, and patience is not one of our strong points; we forget that life moves in cycles, and that nature is not about to jump the tracks just to hand us our hearts’ desires. Scrapping your spell simply because it hasn’t demonstrated dramatic change is like throwing the proverbial baby out with the bath water. There’s a bunch of your energy out there, patiently toiling away to slowly reform reality in accordance to your will. If you recast the spell, or create a new spell to do the same thing, you’re not only telling your subconscious that you don’t trust it, you’re ordering the energy out there to stop in its tracks.

Remember, more often is not necessarily better. If you keep stirring those energies, you can stir them right off course.

Ragnar Lodbrok

Remembered on this day, Ragnar Lodbrok was a leader of the Vikings who was captured by the Christian Northumbrians, tortured, and thrown into a pit of poisonous snakes. It was Ragnar’s death song, of his faith in the afterlife, that inspired a bard present at the execution to convey his message to others. ers. Passed from generation to generation, the song provides reassurance and hope for what lies in the great beyond:

The Disir call me back home, those whom Odin
has sent for me from the Hall of the Lord of Hosts.
Gladly will I sup ale in the high seat with the Gods.
The days of my life are finished. I laugh as I die!

Wear a Venus planetary color and call on the Goddess for a little inner sparkle. Burn some floral incense, light up some rosy candles, and set a romantic mood. Try wearing a little copper jewelry, and see how it affects you and your Friday magick. Get those potpourri and philter recipes going, and see what you can conjure up.

Advancing your magickal skills takes drive, ambition, and passion. Work with Eros to discover just how much enthusiasm, inspiration, and drive he can bring into your days, for the imagination is a place where dreams flourish and ideas come to fruition.

Call on these fertile and romantic powers, and create your own unique spells and charms. Just think of all the magickal information that you can now add to your repertoire of witchery. Lastly, remember this: when you combine imagination and a loving heart with magick, you’ll succeed every time.

Friday’s Witchery

Forest-WitchFriday’s Witchery

 

Love magick is a perennial popular topic. However, there is more to this topic than meets the eye. There are many enchanting layers here for us to explore on this day of the week. What about creating a loving home, or producing a loving and nurturing family? What about keeping your intimate relationships vital and on track? How about promoting happy, healthy, and eduring friendships? See, there is more to be considered than just the “You shall be mine….” type of fictional love spell.

 
Don’t forget that many of the deities associated with Fridays are also parents. So, yes, while this is the day to work on romance, sex, and love spells, there is additional magick to be considered here, which makes Fridays a more well-rounded and bigger opportunity for witchery than many folks ever truly realize. The truest, strongest magick always comes from the heart.
