Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, June 27th

 

Aries 

Aries Horoscope
Aries

You may be experiencing competitive or frustrating energy with family, a lover, or child today, dear Aries. This can happen if you’re expecting too much too soon. Try not to rush things. Some of you could be drawn to some form of recreational risk-taking. Although there may be some tendencies towards impulsiveness with money, you can also be quite motivated to get some work done or to bring money in. There is a nesting urge experienced now, and also a stronger ability to find beauty in things. New ideas for making money or new businesses should be considered, but it’s better to wait for a better time to start anew. Your mood lifts when you feel emotionally stronger and equipped for making changes, and you can tune into this energy quite easily today with the Moon in your solar eighth house.

Taurus

Taurus

There may be some aggravations revolving around personal projects that seem outdated or slow to advance today, dear Taurus, and for some of you, with family and home life and differing opinions on how you should be spending your time. Self-discipline is a little more difficult to access at the moment. Take it easy and consider ways to find a better balance in your life. Also, remind yourself that overhauling a project requires time and some level of patience, as well as creative solutions that are not necessarily going to occur to you immediately, and certainly not if you are in a stressed out state. Positive attention or feedback from others can soothe and smooth your mood today.

Gemini

Gemini

You could be feeling some impatience if it seems that things are not going as you had expected them to, dear Gemini. However, you might want to rethink whether or not your expectations realistically reflect your time and energy. Today is strong for making adjustments such as these, but do watch for hasty decision making. If you find that you have a short attention span today, look for creative solutions and avoid adding more things to your plate. Difficulties or worries about money and/or conflicts with relatives or even neighbors are very possible now, but in the long run could be important catalysts that bring you to quicker resolutions of problems or that clear the air. If you can tame impatience, this can be a strong day for productivity and new insights.

Cancer

Cancer

There is a tendency to overdo or over-reach today, Cancer, and for you, perhaps overspending is part of the picture. Matters and desires might feel pressing or urgent when in fact you would be better off waiting things out. Restlessness may be a problem on some level, but if this can be managed, this can be a strong day for networking, connecting, and enjoying friends, goals, and dreams. People can have solutions for you or can simply be good at calming you. Creatively speaking, you are at a nice peak today and in the next few days, particularly when you can apply creative thinking to practical ideas.

Leo

Leo

You can be feeling a little restless today as there can be a sense that circumstances or people in your life are blocking your progress, dear Leo. If you are not actively pursuing an interest today, you can be a little moody and possibly argumentative. A competitive urge can be stimulated. Seek out creative outlets for excess energy, and try to take part in an activity that allows you to take the initiative. Despite this, there are some very bright spots to the day, particularly through family or your work. Allow yourself to relax enough to absorb, learn, and share, as there can be especially good ideas stimulated by the events and circumstances of these last few days of June.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

There can be fluctuating energy levels and moods today, Virgo. You could have a hard time expressing yourself freely, or you might find that something you say is taken the wrong way and you’ve unwittingly caused a problem or controversy. Pushing yourself too hard doesn’t get you further faster, and might even put you into a worse position. However, if you can let go of the sense that you need to compete or push in order to grow, this can be a good time for exploring a new or current interest. A partner or love interest may very well have the right words to soothe you.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

There could be some minor frustrations or disagreements with friends today, dear Libra, perhaps as you feel put upon by someone’s demands or by someone crossing normal boundaries. Excess energy is best channeled into something constructive or creative if this can be managed. The Sun is in minor hard angle to Jupiter, making it a little difficult to be moderate, but that is the challenge! If you can get your expectations back down to reality, you’ll find the day very useful for taking care of practical matters, finding solutions to financial problems, or taking steps to make your life a little more secure.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

There may be some frustration or competitive elements in your dealings with authority figures, bosses, or parents today, dear Scorpio. There might also be tensions revolving around a business project or vision that you want to move faster than it is, but that requires more patience. It would be a good idea to recognize the need to make changes, but it’s also important to have a strong sense of what you can and cannot do. Even so, today can be strong for personal appeal. The Moon continues to transit your sign all day, which can in some ways make emotional needs seem urgent, but there are strong channels for releasing feelings creatively now.

Sagittarius 

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

You can experience some restlessness today with the Sun in minor conflict with your ruler, Jupiter, dear Sagittarius. There may be frustrations brewing around different viewpoints, transportation problems, or frustrated travel or educational plans. Even so, any problems cropping up today are likely to be resolved fairly easily with patience and moderation. Pressures to grow or improve can be real, but you can’t do everything all at once, and you’ll be at your best if you recognize this. Try not to rush to a conclusion. There can be great satisfaction found in doing little things that improve mental health and outlook. The Moon’s transit of your privacy sector all day suggests that you may be in need of the kind of emotional refreshment that comes through time alone for reflection.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

Tensions today are likely to arise from feeling pressure to move forward too quickly, dear Capricorn. The aspects between the Sun and Jupiter over the course of a year can point to peaks and valleys when it comes to our plans and expectations of/for them. Today’s Sun-Jupiter is one of the valleys – a time to adjust our expectations or work on motivation levels. Look out for your health and well-being by taking things easy. There could be a disagreement revolving around money or the sharing of power. Rise above immature reactions and avoid rushing. Casual friends or networking activities can be super helpful in this respect, providing a nice detox from pressures elsewhere.

Aquarius

Aquarius

You could be dealing with a rather competitive person on the job or a frustrating situation with a partner today, dear Aquarius. You are instinctively sensing the moods of people and the environment around you, and possibly contending with emotionally draining people or situations. Physical sensitivity may also be an issue now. You are more sensitive to whether or not others are recognizing your achievements and contributions today, but there is good energy for support and appreciation. Allow yourself to relax enough to see and feel the encouragement, and focus on taming unrealistic expectations. In all likelihood, there’s no rush, so avoid pressuring yourself. The coming days are strong for making connections – free your energy field as much as possible so that you let others in.

Pisces

Work or scheduled activities can be demanding at times today, dear Pisces. There is a tendency to either overdo and push too hard, or to avoid responsibilities altogether, and neither situation is going to leave you feeling satisfied! If you feel under the weather, it’s likely to do with recent immoderate activity or undue pressure. Frustrations require a positive channel for release, and quite possibly a creative one. Try not to let yourself feel rushed. There can be nice words exchanged that put you in a good mood, however. With the Moon in your adventure sector all day, you have support for letting bygones be bygones, particularly as you focus on bigger and better things.

 

Seducing the Zodiac

 

 

Seducing the Zodiac

Get sexy Astrology tips to seduce every sign

Stephanie Dempsey

 

 

Seducing an Aries (March 21 – April 19)

When it comes to courtship, your Aries wants you to be bold and aggressive. Don’t ask permission for a kiss — just plant a breathtaking one as soon as the moment seizes you. The more forceful your approach, the better. Rams are also susceptible to compliments. These folks want to hear that they’re the sexiest person in the room. If you’ve just met an Aries, feel free to contradict them. Spirited debates act like aphrodisiacs on this sign.
Seducing a Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Slow and steady wins the race with Taurus. These folks want to savor the courtship phase of a relationship. Be sure to show up on the first date with a bouquet of flowers or some other beautiful token of your appreciation. Bulls love presents. A subtle splash of cologne will work like a love magnet on Taurus, as this sign is extremely responsive to sensual stimuli. If you’ve got an earthy sense of humor, don’t hide it. Nothing gets Taurus in the mood like a spicy joke.

Seducing a Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The fastest way to Gemini’s bedroom is through the brain. Ask this sign for a reading recommendation — Geminis love to be consulted about intellectual matters. If you’ve got specialized knowledge of a particular subject, be sure to bring it up. People born under the sign of the Twins are wildly attracted to experts — the more obscure your subject, the better. If Gemini mentions their latest hobby, be sure to ask for a crash course. Nothing gets this sign in the mood like showing off their know-how.

Seducing a Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

These Moon Children are notoriously soft-hearted. If you’d like to make your way into this sign’s bedroom, show off your sensitive side. Express an interest in charities, especially ones involving children. Cancers secretly love being babied, so it’s a great idea to fix this sign a home-cooked meal. Keep the lights low and the music soft … Cancer is very responsive to romantic atmospheres. If you’ve got your sights set on a female Crab, ask permission before you kiss her. If you’re dating a guy, make the first move and then apologize for being so bold.

Seducing a Leo (July 23 – August 22)

If you want to seduce a Leo, focus on this sign like a laser. Compliment the way they dress, eat and breathe. Treat him or her to the best of everything, whether it’s the center table at the fanciest restaurant in town or the choicest spot on your picnic blanket. When the lights are turned low, run your fingers through the Lion’s mane. He or she will purr with delight. Murmur words of praise into his or her ear during foreplay. Your lovemaking will build to a beautiful crescendo.

Seducing a Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Cleanliness is definitely a virtue when seducing Virgo. Make sure that your sheets are freshly laundered before taking a tumble with this sign. It’s also a good idea to be impeccably groomed yourself. Nothing turns a Virgin on like the smell of French-milled soap. In fact, you may want to take a bath together as a prelude to lovemaking. If you’re having trouble even getting a date with Virgo, ask him or her to help organize your desk, proofread a letter or find your keys. This is a great way to break the ice with this service-oriented sign.

Seducing a Libra (September 23 – October 22)

When it comes to seducing sophisticated Libra, it’s best to summon the spirit of Cary Grant or Audrey Hepburn. This sign needs to be romanced in high style … think champagne and evening dress versus beer and baseball caps. Librans love music, so taking this sign to a concert would be a terrific prelude to lovemaking. It’s a wise idea to perfect your kissing technique before making the first move on Libra. This sign wants a lover with finesse.

Seducing a Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It may be challenging to seduce secretive Scorpio, since it’s hard to gauge this sign’s reactions. Don’t be fazed if your moves are met with an inscrutable smile … that’s just Scorpio’s own form of seduction. A good first move? Take this sign’s hand in a darkened movie theater and trace delicate patterns on the inside of his or her palm. Make love wordlessly and urgently, letting your body do all the communicating.

Seducing a Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarians are easily seduced through humor. Crack a few jokes, make a few pratfalls, and leave some funny voicemails if you’d like to get acquainted with the Archer’s bedroom. The prospect of making love outdoors always excites the Archer. Invite Sagittarius on a camping trip and be sure to bring a double sleeping bag. Last but not least, people born under this sign are ruled by the thighs and hips. Playful Sagittarius will become deadly serious when you zero in on these areas.

Seducing a Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Dignified Capricorn can be quite intimidating on the sexual front, but rest assured that this sexy sign is worth seducing. A slow, steady approach works best with Goats. Limit your first encounter to a lingering kiss. Then the next time you see each other, caress Cappy’s back, neck and shoulders, applying firm, insistent pressure. Make a strategic retreat when Capricorn begs you to finish what you’ve started. Deep down inside, this sign knows that the best things in life are worth waiting for.

Seducing an Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Quirky Aquarius can be a tough nut to crack when it comes to sex. If you’d like to seduce this sign, try an unconventional approach. Claim that you’re doing research for a sex clinic and need their help with an experiment. Declare that, while you’re not interested in pursuing a physical relationship with Aquarius, you’re willing to make the sacrifice in the name of friendship. The more offbeat your manner, the more attracted Aquarius will be. All Water-bearers have a rebellious streak. Dare one to kiss you.

Seducing a Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

If you’d like to seduce a Pisces, transport him or her to another world. Invite your favorite Fish to look through your telescope or check out your aquarium. Make your move as soon as Pisces becomes absorbed in the action. A quick kiss on the back of the neck will lead to bigger and better things. Pisceans have many erogenous areas including especially sensitive feet. A friendly foot rub can fan the flames of desire.

Planets and the Days of the Week

 

 

Planets and the Days of the Week

Each day of the week is ruled by a different planet, and for different reasons

 
There are seven days of the week, but did you know that seven planets serve as the ruler each day? This ancient tradition stems from Babylonian times and holds significant merit since Astrology’s first organized roots are traced to this time period. And you can find out about your soul’s past with an Edgar Cayce Past Lives Report.

Back then (as early as 2,000 B.C.) the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, were not yet discovered, since the telescope had not yet been invented. Astrologers and astronomers could only work with planets visible to the naked eye. The Babylonians organized the weekly calendar we still use today. Interestingly enough, you can use the days of the week as a general planning guide to help you know when it’s best to initiate or pursue certain endeavors. As far as the days of the week go, here are the astrological associations and suggestions for how you can best plan your week accordingly…

Monday is ruled by the Moon

The Moon in Astrology represents one’s nurturing and emotional instinct. The Moon rules Cancer — the sign we associate with mothering and mood changes. Indeed the Moon is the one planet that ebbs and flows more than any other. This may be why starting anything on Monday may likely lead to a change of direction. If you want something to be permanent, it’s best not to initiate it on Monday. The exception, of course, is domestic undertakings.

Tuesday is ruled by Mars

Mars in Astrology symbolizes the principle of assertive energy. Aries is the sign of the zodiac ruled by Mars. Thanks to fiery Mars, we associate Aries with qualities of leadership and courage. Use Tuesday to initiate a pioneering activity that requires gumption and strength. If you have something to initiate that requires compromise and tact however, another day might be better.

Wednesday is ruled by Mercury

Mercury is the planet that rules our mindset. Ruling both Gemini and Virgo, Mercury bestows us with rational thinking ability and a quick, clever wit. Mercury analyzes, discerns and communicates. Consequently, anything that requires clear thinking, dialogue or decision making is best initiated on Wednesday.

Thursday is ruled by Jupiter

Jupiter represents abundance, prosperity and the principle of expansion. As the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter is the planet that helps us reach for high ideals and principles. Moral and just, Jupiter yearns to expand horizons through travel, education and spiritual pursuits. As a result, Thursday is a day that is well suited for travel, learning and philosophizing. This is also the best day to begin a project you hope will be prosperous.

Friday is ruled by Venus

Venus is the planet of love, harmony, money and possessions. Ruling both Taurus and Libra, Venus is graceful, charming, sensual and social. It follows that Friday is a day best suited for pursuing anything connected to matters of the heart — especially a wedding! Friday will also be ideal for making an extravagant purchase or financial investment. Use Friday to make a change to your appearance or mediate with anyone. And of course, if you want to have the “party of the year” … be sure to schedule it on a Friday.

Saturday is ruled by Saturn

Saturn is the planet of commitment and responsibility, but also restriction and delay. Saturn gives us boundaries and Capricorn — the sign ruled by Saturn — epitomizes this ability. With structure comes success and it’s possible to achieve something long lasting and successful on Saturday. But it will require diligent work. Saturday is perfect for anything that requires a sober, realistic and practical approach. Saturday is also good for starting anything you want to ensure will stand the test of time.
Sunday is ruled by the Sun

The Sun in Astrology is about vitality and is the core giver of life. The Sun rules Leo — known as being the most generous and noble of signs. Perhaps this is why Sunday is considered a timely day to improve one’s sense of vigor, approach a well-respected authority figure or even to figure things out. Whatever you begin on this day is likely to succeed.

Weekly LightBlast: Foretelling Futures

Weekly LightBlast: Foretelling Futures

a message from Jamye Price
Read more of Jayme’s insight, visit her website, Crystalline Soul Healing

As you embark on your year of creative power, you are focusing part of your energy from your now moment into your Future. This has been a nebulous pursuit from the human perspective, for the functionality of your heart/mind has not been taught as valuable to the future beyond its ability to put action into order for creation.

Even those that believe it to be powerful do not often fully trust the mechanism, for it is not as understood as action creating result. To feed someone that is hungry is obviously valuable. Yet for those that do not understand the power of the mind/heart complex – to Love that same person and see their beauty and capability is a lovely gesture, but ineffective for results.

As you begin to honor the entire process of creation, from invisible vibration of thought and emotion, into visible participation of your choices and actions; you are utilizing your full creative potential. Humanity does this automatically, for they observe, think, compare and choose. Yet most are not taught the creative power of the thinking and feeling mechanism (intentionally singular because they work together). Therefore, humanity does not control their thoughts or feelings as they control their actions, for the actions are seen as contributing to the final result.

In your recent years there has been much support for Lightworkers to cleanse, strengthen and focus the heart and mind. This support has often felt like the wringing of a rag as you were squeezed free of vibration that blocked your Love flow. This year of creative power will take you to another level of Self Love as you begin to focus your creation of Ascended Self into form.

Your empowerment is your ability to not only maintain your inner world, but to choose its focus. There is no other that can truly do this for you. It is the domain of the individual and it is your work as you create. Your future depends on it for manifestation.

The Future is merely your past and your now focused through your perspective. Your perspective is like a beam of light illuminating potential into form. That is the nature of your holographic experience. You Foretell your Future into form with your thoughts, your feelings and your actions.

Your work is to focus your perspective on creation for the Self, for each empowered individual must learn to do so. It is your Future to Foretell. With a moment of deep, empowered Love, visualize yourself empowered and creative. No details, just empowered and creative. As you are empowered and creative, you offer it to all you meet. It is part of your service to the world.

As we sit to Blast Foretelling Futures, we are focusing our potent beam of Love into the Loving future of humanity. We are initializing a new holographic potential as we illuminate the positive potential of any negative experience. We are letting go of the focus on the negative that dims the understanding of its wisdom. We are becoming strong enough to handle the negative and wise enough to foster the positive. We are seeing the Light of Love clearly, even as we choose a path of the unknown, for our power to create is becoming known within. Blast on!

The Witches Magick for the 27th day of the Dyad Moon – Mirror Mate Sex Magic

 Hexe vor dem Flug  :)MIRROR MATE SEX MAGIC

You will need sexy music, your lover, and your favorite scented oil.

After dark, turn on the music. Sit opposite each other skyclad, preferably somewhere you can see the night sky. Anoint one another with the scented oil, on the ankles, knees, thighs, navel, shoulders, neck, and back of the head, in that order. After you anoint each other, say in unison:

Shining stars and moonlight
Illuminate our love so bright
One into two into three times three
May our lovemaking be ecstasy, blessed be!

Hold hands and stare softly into your lover’s eyes for at least fifteen minutes. It’s okay if you blink or giggle or cry. Just focus on how much you love your beloved as your gaze into his or her eyes. Next, stand quietly, and touch and embrace for a few minutes. Then hold hands and stare softly into your lover’s eyes for another ten minutes, or until you both come together for an intensely, intimate night.

Lady A’s Spell of the Day for June 27th – Candle Flame Scrying

dark witch Candle Flame Scrying

 

On a Full Moon, prepare your altar with black cloth. Set upon it a purple, blue, or white candle. It is best to use either a votive or a pillar. Around this, lay oak leaves in a circle and place clusters of quartz and/or amethyst around or on top of the oak leaves. Ground and Center and Cast your Circle.
Light the candle and say:
Candle of Power
Vision and light
Open my eyes
to the future this night.
Gaze into the flame and empty your mind of extraneous thought. Be patient and the future shall be seen. Don’t stare into the flame, for this causes the eyes to become strained and may give you a headache…just gaze and they shall appear. Good Luck!

WOTC Extra – Gods and Their Attributes

The SupernaturalGods and Their Attributes

 

Since the beginning of time, cultures around the world have honored a masculine force. The yang energy of the universe has been depicted in various guises and personalities, as individual deities with specific natures, powers, and responsibilities. The many faces of the God express qualities associated with the male archetype: strength, virility, daring, leadership skills, logic, protection, knowledge, and courage.

Archetypes transcend nationalities and religions, appearing in various yet similar forms in many different cultures. For example, the Greek god Zeus corresponds to the Roman god Jupiter. You can see overlaps between the Egyptian god Thoth and the Greeks’ Hermes. Mars and Mithras, both gods of war, were worshiped by soldiers in Rome and Persia, respectively.

On days when a witch wishes to identify with certain god-like qualities, she can ask for help from a deity who embodies those attributes. If you want to ace an exam, you could call on Mercury, Thoth, or Hermes to assist you. If you hope to overcome a formidable challenge or adversary, Ganesh is the god with whom to ally yourself. Regardless of your goal or concern, you’ll find a deity who can provide the help you need.

Let’s Talk Witch – Honoring and Invoking Deities

The SupernaturalHonoring and Invoking Deities

 

How can you get a god or goddess on your side? Many witches believe that divine assistance is always available to you and that the deities gladly offer their guidance, help, and energy to humans to use for positive purposes. Some view divine beings as higher aspects of human consciousness, which can be accessed and activated through magickal means.

If you aren’t used to considering a divine being as a partner in your spiritual and practical pursuits, you may wonder how to go about petitioning your favorite god or goddess for assistance. Here are a few suggestions.

1. Make an offering of some sort to the deity. Burning incense is a popular offering, although you may wish to choose an offering that more specifically corresponds to the nature of the deity whose help you seek.

2. Place a figurine of the chosen deity on your altar and focus your attention on it.

3. Use an oracle, such as tarot cards or runes, to access Divine Wisdom and open your mind to messages from the deities.

4. Pray.

5. Meditate.

6. Light a candle in honor of the deity you wish to petition.

7. Design and perform a ritual to the deity.

8. Write your request on a slip of paper, then burn it.

9. Choose a crystal or gemstone that relates to the deity. Carry the stone in your pocket and touch it periodically.

10. Plant herbs or flowers in honor of the god or goddess. Choose plants that correspond to the deity’s nature and your intent, such as roses for love or mint for prosperity.

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Festival of Intium Aestatis/Death of Julian the Blessed

The Witch AltarJune 27th

Festival of Intium Aestatis/Death of Julian the Blessed

 

In ancient Rome, the festival of Intium Aestatis kicked of the beginning of Summer in honor of Aestas, the Goddess of Summer.

It was on this day in 363 c.e., that Julian “The Apostate” died from a fatal wound received in battle. Julian was name “The Apostate” by Christian writers because he reinstated the Pagan cults after Christianity had become the established religion of the Roman Empire.

Julian was brought up in Cappadocia and given a Christian tian education, but he had a passion for the classics and the old Gods. When Julian became emperor, he openly professed his Pagan beliefs and attempted to revive some of the older ideals and a tolerance for all religions. Unfortunately, his philosophy losophy did not sit well with the Christian bishops, who were politically influential at the time.

There was little support for Julian’s return to Paganism, despite his stand. Furthermore, many of the Roman officials disliked Julian’s efforts to improve the lot of the Jews in the Empire or his preparations for a long war with Persia. Julian set out with some 65,000 infantry and cavalry in March 363. He crossed the Syrian desert, capturing small cities along the way. He reached Ctesiphon in June, but it could not be breached. He ordered a tactical retreat up the Tigris. On June 26, he was wounded in a skirmish, and he died on June 27. It is very possible that his death was ordered ahead of time by disgruntled politicians and carried out by one of his own soliders.

The Perfect Magickal Philter for Saturday – Magickal Protection Oil

Witching NightMagickal Protection Oil

This recipe will enable you to create your own magickal protection oil. Add this to candles or dab a bit onto a talisman or a sachet bag filled with protective herbs. Put a bit of a cotton ball and rub it on door frames and thresholds to ward your home or office (Don’t go overboard, now—we don’t want to ruin the woodwork or cause someone to slip on a oily surface.) Just a small amount will work beautifully. As with all philter and potion recipes, do not apply it directly to the skin.

• 1 small decorative glass bottle
• Base oil, approximately /8 cup
• Clean dropper
• 3 drops myrrh or cypress oil
• 3 drops patchouli oil
• 1 pansy flower (dark purple or black is best)
• 1 small morning glory leaf or tiny bit of the vine
• A small chip of black tourmaline
• 6 inches each purple and black thin satin ribbon
• 1 small metal pentagram charm or talisman that you feel coordinates with protection
• A label and a pen (to list the ingredients and to decorate and mark the bottle

Pour the base oil into the bottle; fill it three quarters of the way full. Add the essential oils one at a time. Next, add the herbs and the crystal. Close up the bottle with the lid, place your fingers over the lid, and carefully shake up the mixture. Hold up the mixture to the sunlight and allow the light of Saturday’s sun to illuminate the philter for a moment or two

Wipe off the outside of the bottle. Use the label to list the ingredients and the use of this potion. Decorate the bottle by drawing the sigil of Saturn or pentagrams. If you have other magickal symbols that you would like to use for protection, then add those to the label. Attach the label to the glass bottle, and finish up by threading the metal charm onto the ribbon and then tying the two colored ribbons around the neck of the bottle.

As you finish tying on the bow, hold the bottle in your hands and concentrate on the visualization that your aura around your entire body is glowing with a deep and sparkling purple color. Silently call on the god of karma and time, Saturn, and the triple goddess Hecate to ask for their assistance. Visualize that protection is swirling around you, your home, and your loved ones in the best possible way. Now pull all that energy from your visualization into the philter bottle that you hold in your hands. Take a deep breath, hold it for three counts, and then blow it out slowly. Now, repeat the chant below:

Hecate, I call upon you now
This philter with your magick endow
Saturn’s strong energy will circle around
With this potion, only protection is found
Witches’ herbs and crystal add their power
Begin the magick in this hour.

Set the bottle aside and ground and center yourself. Clean up the supplies, and eat a few crackers or do something physical. Make sure to store the protection philter in a dark, dry place out of the reach of yound children.

The Good WitchCustom Made Magick for Saturday

 

Protection, removing negativity, justice and balance have been the theme today. As we have just seen you can indeed a perform a binding and not cross the ethical line. Bindings are a more ethical route than cursing someone. But are there other options? Why, of course. I know of some Witches who, when they see a criminal’s face on television or read about them in the paper, mentally pain a white X over a criminal’s face while they say the phrase “I neutralize that person” with intention. This neutralizes the power and harm that the stranger causes.

If there is someone that you personally know who is causing you or your family harm, it is possible to use a photograph of the destructive person. Simply wrap white ribbon around their photo to symbolize you binding them up as you say, “I neutralize any physical or emotional harm that you are causing.”

But if you feel magickal bindings are the way to go, then perhaps your best course of action is to remove all emotion from yourself and the spell when you perform the binding. Just as I stated before, justice—like magick—is a neutral force. For lack of a better term, be businesslike. Wild swings of emotion only make for an uncontrollable magickal energy. Therefore, your best bet is to be neutral. If there was ever a time to be calm and in control, this is it. If you are not sure that you can pull off being neutral, then I suggest that you leave magick alone. It is essential to be in control. How much karma drama are you willing to pull into your life?

Saturday’s Must Dos

THE WITCHSaturday’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.

Saturday’s Witchery

Witch.Saturday’s Witchery

Saturday is a day filled with opportunities to clean up and clear out. So if you are wondering why Hecate is assigned to this day, take another look at what she symbolizes and the magick that is associated with her. That should answer the question.

Hecate was the oldest form of the Greek Triple Goddess, as she presided over heaven, the underworld, and earth. Crossroads where three roads met were especially sacred to Hecate, earning her the title of Hekate of the Three Ways. It’s interesting to note that even after the worship of other goddesses waned, ancient people still worshiped Hecate as the Queen of the Underworld and the Guardian of the Three-Way Crossroad. It was also believed that if you left her an offering of food there, she would grant you her favors. As Hecate Trivia, her triple images were often displayed at these crossroads, where she was petitioned on the full moon for positive magick and on the dark of the moon for cursing and dark magick.

While this last bit of information sounds a little ominous, keep in mind that Hecate/Hekate was known by many titles and is a shapeshifter. Her appearance could and did change often. As a dark moon goddess, her faces are many. To some she may appear as a old crone, hunched over a smoking cauldron and draped in a midnight cape. To others she may appear as a dark beautiful, mysterious, and mature woman wearing a shimmering crown. To some she may be perceived as a maiden priestess. She was called the “most lovely one,” the Great Goddess of Nature, and the Queen of the World of Spirits. This dark goddess knows her way around the earth and the underworld. All the powers of nature, life, and death are at her command.

THE MAGIC EYE *
Saturday

The planetary correspondence for Saturday is Saturn. Matters dealing with the public, farming, family ties, legal matters (such as wills and estates), taking care of debts, dealing with lawyers, financing, joint money matters, real estate, older people, banishing or binding negativity, and getting rid of bad habits all fall under the charge of Saturn. It’s easy to see why “Saturday’s child works hard for his living.”

Saturday’s angels are Cassiel, Machatan, Uriel, and Orifiel. Cassiel is the angel of solitudes and tears. He is one of the rulers of the planet Saturn and occasionally appears as the angel of patience. Cassiel links himself to dragon energy. Regarding Machatan, the only information we get is that he works well with Cassiel and is also a power of Saturn. Orifiel is an angel of the wilderness, a ruler of the second hour of the day, and also associated with Saturn.

On Saturday, the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Saturn, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest four hours for conducting ritual. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

Saturday Is Ruled By Saturn

spell timeSaturday 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.
