Saturday Is Ruled By Saturn

This day of the week got it’s name from the god of karma and time, Saturn. This day is obviously associated with the planet Saturn and is our last day of the week. Traditionally Saturdays are great days for protection, banishing a negative situation, and generally a good time to clean up any magical messes that you have been ignoring. Some suggestions for Saturday enchantments would include:

◦Wearing the colors of the day, black and deep purple. Here’s your perfect excuse to be dramatic and witchy. Empower these dramatic pieces of your wardrobe for protection and strength.

◦Burning black candles to absorb negativity and burning purple ones to increase your magical wisdom and boost your spirituality

◦Adding a touch of garden witchery to your Saturday spells by working with the pansy (in black or purple of course), the morning glory flowering vine, or the cypress tree.

◦Carrying an obsidian, hematite, or jet tumbled stone in your pocket to reinforce your personal protection and to ward off bad vibes and sour feelings. You can also add these crystals to a candle spell on a Saturday night to really increase the punch of your spellcasting.

◦Cleaning your house and cleansing it while you are at it. Tap into those obstacle-removing vibes and the positive, concluding energies.

◦Closing up the final day of the bewitching week with a bang by calling on Hecate for protection and guidance.

Saturday’s Must Dos

Egyptian Comments & GraphicsSaturday’s Must Dos

Feel the need for a psychic cleansing in the house? Light up some patchouli- or myrrh-scented incense, and wave the smoke around your house or apartment. It will help to break up any lingering negativity or bad feelings. Crumble up a few dried mullein leaves and create a circle around your home, or scatter it across the thresholds, to keep prowlers away.

Burn a few black candles to repel manipulative intentions or unwanted advances. Add a few protective herbs to your dinner such as thyme or basil. Try growing a blooming cyclamen plant in your kitchen to ward the family and to encourage Hecate’s blessings. Grow deep purple and black pansies in window boxes to encourage the planetary vibrations of Saturn. Let ivy grow up the walls of your home for even more bewitching security.

Saturdays are the particular day of the week for protection and for dealing with more serious magickal matters. Go back over the at-a-glance list and see what components you can add to your spells for today for a little more oomph.

Meditate on Hecate to learn her lessons and include some dark goddess wisdom into your Craft. As a Witch, you already know that you have power-the power to effect real change in your life. Working with Hecate can teach you how and when to best use this power for the greater good.

If you want to expand your magickal skills, then start learning how to incorporate all of this information on the days of witchery in a whole new way. This includes the knowledge you already have and the new day-by-day correspondences and witchcraft that were presented in this Book of Shadows. Put your own unique spin on things. Decide what your enchanting specialties are, then apply them to your Craft each and every day with wisdom and style.

“GOOD SATURDAY MORN’ ” Yes, I Am Shouting It To The Roof This Morning! Missed You, Guys & Gals!


Get Well Soon CommentsGood Saturday Morning, my precious family! How is everyone doing? I hope great, enjoying this heat, swimming in those pools, hey, its’ Summer.

I have some serious news to share with you this morning. I have been out of town for a few days and found out about this yesterday. I feel like a total heel. I don’t know if you visit Coven Life or not. It is an off-shoot of the WOTC and is hosted by Lady Beltane. I was informed yesterday that her mother had taken a rather severe fall. She has been hospitalized and at that time she was awaiting surgery. I received another email today and Lady Beltane told me she was doing much better. Lady B said she wasn’t as worried about her as she was. I would take it her mother is making good progress. Since Lady B is a part of our family and we do our best to come together when something like this happens. I would like for you to light a candle and say a prayer for Lady B’s mother and her entire family. I know she will appreciate all the prayers, blessings, love and healing sent her way.

Please take a moment to say our little prayer with us… 

God and Goddess
Grant Lady Beltane’s Mother healing
Of body, mind, heart and spirit
Bless her doctors and nurses as they
Care for her.
Give them the knowledge and skill to
Make her whole once again.
Send your healing energy
So Lady Beltane’s mother can make
A full and speedy recovery.
Soothe what is painful, bless her with
Your Love and Comfort as we send
Healing energies her way.
So Mote It Be

Lady B, we love you and if you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask.

So your neighbors all have cute little mangers in their yards, complete with plastic baby Jesus, light-up sheep, and a couple of Wise Men who have probably seen better days. Are you feeling a bit left out? Don’t worry — you can still set up a Nativity scene (or something close to it) that represents your Pagan or Wiccan beliefs, and honors the birth of the sun, rather than the son of another religion’s god.
