You are a bit of a maverick. Although sensitive, you are not afraid to do your own thing! Personal magnetism and appeal are strong, although you can be quite pushy and manipulative at times when you want your way. You have good people skills when you need them, however, and you are adept at combining business and pleasure. It’s just that you are very charming and might get used to having things go your way as a result. Your main challenge in life is to put the past behind you and to avoid letting worries and fear rule your life. You are highly intuitive and imaginative. Very amorous, you live for the excitement of romance. You are very giving in love, and need to make sure you are met halfway or you could become resentful. Loyalty in a mate is an especially important quality for you. Famous people born today: Davy Crockett, Robert De Niro, Mae West, Sean Penn, Taissa Farmiga, Mark Salling.
Saturn is on its last leg of the journey through your solar eighth house, dear Aries, and you have the chance in the coming weeks to take care of business and put tricky matters behind you. Financial matters should be a priority now, particularly if they’ve been causing you worry. Efforts to organize and minimize debt get powerful support now. Mid-September, Saturn will have left relationship houses, not to return for many years to come, and this can be a real load off for those Aries who have felt a pinch in this area. It certainly will help to have Saturn in harmonious angle to your sign from that time forward and for a couple of years. Today’s energies are good for work and health matters, and increasingly as you go forward, these areas of life can capture your interest and can in fact be areas of joy.
Taurus
Taurus
Things are really starting to move in the right direction for you, dear Taurus. With Saturn gaining a little speed now and on its final leg of its journey in your opposing sign, now is the time to really pick up your socks and tie up loose ends, particularly in areas that you may have neglected and with relationships. Mid-September will see Saturn move on from your partnership sector and out of its challenge to your sign. Of course, Saturn will continue to bring lessons to your life as it always does, but it will not be in such an in your face type of energy. Today can be fun, but it’s even better if you can apply structure and assign meaning to your pleasures, such as a creative pursuit. You’re feeling freer this week, particularly emotionally, even with your ruler retrograde for a while longer.
Gemini
Gemini
Saturn is finishing up its transit of your work, health, and daily routines sector, dear Gemini, and you’re now in a good position to firm up these areas of your life before Saturn moves on. A serious energy has permeated these areas of life, and now you are likely much clearer about where you stand on the work front, and ideally more responsible about your obligations to self-care and health. Your partnerships will come under Saturn’s scrutiny from mid-September forward. Today, sticking with familiar people and situations seems to come naturally. It’s a good time to get organized. There is a practical cleverness to you that draws others to you.
Cancer
Cancer
Saturn is finally nearing the end of its transit of your sector of romance, creativity, children, and hobbies, dear Cancer. This transit has brought a rather serious element to these areas of life for some time. It has also been a stabilizing force in your life, as you have been more aware of your responsibilities and more able to meet them. In mid-September, this influence lifts, and you might find that you can more fully benefit from Jupiter’s transit to your solar third house, which brings an opening up of opportunities to communicate easily and naturally, as well as a more positive outlook on your life in general. Today, you have both practicality and intuition working for you. This is a strong time for really applying yourself to creative projects, or for bringing a creative touch to your regular work or routines. This is also a good day for communicating effectively with a partner or good friend.
Leo
Leo
There has been considerable inner “re-working” going on in your life in recent years, dear Leo, as well as restructuring of home and family life for some of you. As this transit nears its end (Saturn leaves this sector in mid-September) you’ll have faced issues surrounding your attachments to the past, done some major “spring cleaning” inside and possibly more literally as well. Feelings of being alone or unsupported are subsiding, and you ideally feel more confident in your ability to take charge of your personal and domestic life. Today, you’re more aware of those things that ground you, make you feel secure, and keep you focused on the moment. It can be strong for enjoying what you already have and connecting with nature as well, but it’s also good for efforts to organize and tidy or otherwise simplify your life.
Virgo
Virgo
The Moon continues to visit your sign until late afternoon, dear Virgo, and personal impact is strong. You’re also quite prepared to take care of business as the Moon is in favorable aspect with practical Saturn. Saturn has recently turned direct and is on its last leg of its journey through your communications sector, officially moving on in mid-September. This is a fine time for crystallizing the lessons that this long-term transit has provided and tying up loose ends, particularly related to communications and learning projects and endeavors. You can be working hard and enjoying the process. With a New Moon in your privacy sector just behind you, you are certainly still quite focused on your past and unrealized dreams, but you’re in an excellent position to get in touch with your innermost desires and needs that will help you shape the year to come – a powerful month and year are ahead of you.
Libra
Libra
Again today until late afternoon, you may feel as if the cosmos want you to keep a low profile just for now, dear Libra. Listen to any instincts to take it easy, as this is a natural period in the lunar cycle for you to slow down and catch your breath. In the coming year while Jupiter transits Virgo, you’ll find plenty of reasons to take time out, and benefits from doing so. In fact, you can come into wonderful touch with your intuition, making a new friend of it. The Moon enters your sign late afternoon, and you can begin to crave more interaction and feedback from the world. Today is good for sorting things out, and especially so on practical levels. In fact, you can find the next several weeks, until mid-September, very powerful for taking care of loose ends on a financial level.
Scorpio
Scorpio
With Saturn finishing up its transit of your sign, dear Scorpio, use this time in your life to firm up self-care programs and other important structures. Mid-September will see Saturn leave your sign this time for good (for another twenty-six years). Saturn has been in your sign and putting your personality through a series of “tests” for a couple years now. Since it’s now the last leg of its journey, the rewards are more likely to surface. You are becoming stronger and more self-reliant, more mature and capable of handling anything that comes your way. Your personal goals are more realistic. This is a grounding energy that gets you back in touch with reality as well as your inner strength. Today is good for feeling directed after a period of being somewhat in the dark. Motivation builds as you have a stronger sense of where you’re heading.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Saturn is nearing the end of its lengthy journey in your soul sector, dear Sagittarius, and in this last leg, there can be some deep, inner questioning and changes in conditioned and deeply ingrained attitudes. Your values are changing and some of the ideals you’ve held onto in the past lose their flavor along with the changes. This may be at the root of any vague feelings of discouragement experienced now. You need to search deep within yourself for peace and security. You have the chance to take care of outstanding problems and loose emotional ends so that going forward with Saturn moving back into your sign in mid-September, you can use this transit to better advantage, to empower yourself. The coming weeks are powerful for cutting out problem areas of your life and ridding yourself of unhealthy attachments. Today’s energy is strong for work, organization, and practical solutions to problems.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Saturn has influenced your sector of friendships, networking, business income, and goal-setting for some time, dear Capricorn, and is finally on its last leg of its journey in this area of your solar chart. There have been some realities to face, tests, challenges, and paring down in these areas of your life. Saturn will officially move on in just one month’s time. This gives you the opportunity over the coming weeks to process and crystallize some of the lessons you’ve learned about the groups you align with, friends, and “happiness” goals. Restrictions will begin to lift, and the rewards of this transit can become more apparent. Today is strong for feeling directed, motivated, and organized. Relationships feel a little stronger.
Aquarius
Aquarius
Saturn finalizes its transit of your professional sector in the coming month, dear Aquarius. You’re coming to the end of this transit that has forced you to take stock of your position in society, your career, responsibilities, or reputation. New responsibilities have emerged, but you’ve also reaped the rewards of past long-term efforts. This has been one of the most public periods of your life, when others have been more aware of your accomplishments and possibly of your “failures” as well. A career or educational program may have begun or completed. There are four weeks left of this transit, making it a good time to process the lessons and attitude changes that have occurred, and to tie up any loose ends. Ideally, you have a stronger sense of responsibility and more realistic expectations of both yourself and others.
Pisces
Pisces
With the Moon in your opposing sign until late afternoon, dear Pisces, you are especially aware of others and your close relationships. Focus can be on the more positive and useful or practical side of your connections today. Energy is steady. Saturn is on its last leg of its journey through your solar ninth house and will enter your career sector in just one month’s time, when circumstances begin to push you towards taking stock of your ambitions and goals. Until then, you’ll have a chance to process recent experiences. Ideally, since this transit began in late 2012, you’ve been learning important skills and have a clearer understanding of your place in the world that will best prepare you for career assessment, changes, or redefinitions that are to come.

Holy Moly Mother of Goddess, what can an earth girl say? I have been around the cosmic block a few times and I have never experienced a shift like this past 8-8-8. the very foundation of light was shifted never to go back to what it once was. A great bubble of expansion in a holding pattern was issued to Earth, as was reflected in the actions of the sun. Giant sunspots formed just to be held and not released at this time. The human body is very vulnerable right now as every little thing begins to hurt. This is the body’s way of asking you to love what is painful for it is a physical manifestation of what is calcified within your thinking, it seeks release. The very DNA patterning of earth has shifted in accordance with a celestial declaration, and nuances of ancient messages on starlight make themselves seen and known.
What lives deep within the people of earth has more value than all the gold and diamonds in the universe. One soul who finally sees them selves as a holy vessel is priceless. One soul who remembers their divine identity is worth risking everything for. People have felt so beat down and beat up by life lately.
They have felt cheated and taken advantage of when they are good hearted giving people. It is at times like this that is hard to live in integrity in honor and old fashioned goodness. But that is exactly what one must do, for all that is unfairly taken from you will be accounted for in the heavenly inventory.
Life has more than enough to give. She wants to share and comfort you in your times of need. This generosity, this gift from life may not be in the design that you have requested. You have outgrown the energy of the past place /job/situation and now you are being asked to move in a fertile place by the universe whom knows your full potential to bloom. Every thing that happens to you comes as a gift no matter how it is wrapped. It is your belief in this statement that will redirect the manifestation into something more beautiful than you originally thought.
It is time to let go of everything that no longer serves the bigger picture that you are becoming. Many of you still cling to ‘what was’, going through the trash of your day and of your life – digging up, exhuming, and examining ‘what could have been’, ‘what would have been’, “if only” you had taken a different path, made a different choice. I assure you this emotional regret is an illusion. Stop digging through the very trash of your life, amplifying the ‘regrets’ of the past. You are being pushed and pulled into a very tight-fitting energy–that actually squeezes your humanness into new directions that are not comfortable. These are the forgotten corridors in your heart, your dreams.
The energies are making you squirm, irritable, and emotional. You are being re-sculpted into something more enhanced than you ever thought possible. The new energies sweep into every part of you. They bring forth connections with people, places, and things that you thought were lost forever.
They bring you new opportunities as well as regrets. Everything that you have placed to the side of your plate is –NOW asking to be ingested, addressed, and then eliminated.
All of you are being birthed into a higher consciousness, this is the first glimmer of all the light to come. These encodings are your prime property. They are the treasures that you so seek – the treasures that you innately know are yours. As humans you look for these treasures externally as money, inheritances, lottery winnings.. these innate treasures are the true love that you so seek –treasures are your heart’s desire. The electrons of your physical body have increased their spin the very particles of your body have walked through expansion and every cell, every sub-atomic particle, every hair of you has changed and now holds a elevated light.
what you once deemed important has changed. Your abilities, your divine encodings are being augmented. Thoughts will be projected, desires, and truths will be issued without a physical word coming from you. You will find more a deeper connection with nature, and the earth. The people that once pushed your buttons, and painted you into emotional corners will find that you no longer re-act the way you once did. Now when they paint you into a corner you just enjoy the corner for a minute. You will be far more concerned with expanding your divine energy than acting and re-acting to anyone or anything. You are not who you were last week.
The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.
*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
This energy is likely to bring a little excitement into your life, one way or another. This is a good time to do something different; shake up your routine. Seek out diversions; try something new! Relationships will have an unusual energy to them; an established relationship may sparkle with some extra “spice” or a new relationship begun under this energy will be stimulating, unusual and probably short-lived. Use this energy to soak up some good energy from those who live on the fringes!
8/21 ~ Sun (core identity) ~square~ Saturn (responsibility):
With this energy, it is best to understand that you will have two distinct pulls within – duty versus self-gratification. It’s not nearly as bad as it feels, however, it does bring up something we all struggle with to some degree or another – SELF & OTHERS. How much do you owe your Self and how much are you obligated to others? Balance and reciprocity come to mind as guides. One of the challenges of this influence is the tendency to make assumptions without checking whether they are true. Never assume! Some people may feel restricted, as if life is too demanding and there’s never any time just for you. Others may find their lives falling apart because they have avoided responsibility for so long and now there’s no more “wiggle room”. Try to convert your impatience with seeming restriction to self-discipline – make a commitment to your Self and follow through. Physically and psychologically, your energies are low at this time. You may feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, but you don’t expect help because you haven’t asked for it. Remember, that is your choice. You may be reinforcing the very circumstances that make you feel lonely and isolated. What you must do is break out of the vicious cycle and take a good look around you, at your life and the people you allow in it. The events related to this transit tend to magnify the chinks in your ego structure. The purpose of discouragement is to reveal the weaknesses in your conception of your Self and to show where you must work to gain greater confidence in your Self.
The Moon today is in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

You will need a piece of tumbled hematite, a small white stone, a small magnet, and a small pouch in which to put the stones and magnet.
At 11: 11 p.m., hold the hematite in your power hand, and clear and charge it using a pulsed-breath technique. In your mind’s eye, imagine a bright white star on a black background, as if there is only one incredible bright star in the night sky. Once the image of the star is clear in your mind’s eye, take a deep breath, then pulse your breath sharply out your nose. As you do, put the image into the hematite stone with your mind’s energy, with the power of your focused thought. Now, imagine having more creativity and more energy to do the things you love, both play and work. Put this feeling in the stone. Once the feeling is strong and clear, take another deep breath, and once again, pulse your breath sharply out your nose, imprinting the crystal with that uplifting, motivational feeling. Repeat this process three times to set the image in place within the hematite.
Now, repeat the same process with the small white stone to charge it. Put the hematite, crystal, and the small magnet in the pouch. Hold the pouch between your hands, and say three times:
Black and white into gray
Motivate and inspire me
Every night and every day!
Put the pouch in your desk drawer (away from your computer because of the magnet). Whenever you need a burst of energy to finish the task at hand, take the pouch out, hold it between your hands, and repeat the following:
Motivate and inspire me
Every night and every day!
Wiccan Spell A Night: Spells, Charms, And Potions For The Whole Year
It can be very lonely working as a solitary Wiccan, no matter what your reasons for the solitary path may be. At times it can seem that there are more obstacles, more frustrations, more opportunities for self-doubt. It’s all too easy to let your practice become lax and unfocused, because there’s no one else to monitor your progress and encourage you when you need it.
Giving yourself smaller daily rituals to engage in – no matter how short and simple they are—keeps you in touch with the gods and your spirituality on a more regular basis. If you touch the Divine on a daily basis, it’s much easier to touch the Divine on the big occasions. The human mind can be remarkably apathetic when it comes to actually stirring ourselves to do something requiring energy and input. Doing a sabbat every six weeks can be a really huge undertaking if you haven’t trained yourself with baby steps in between.
Wicca should never be something you take time out of your regular life to practice. The point of a spiritual path such as Wicca is to incorporate your spiritual practice into your daily life without fuss and drama. Your spirituality should inform your thoughts, opinions, and action in daily life as well as in ritual. Practicing Wicca every moment of the day should make your life more harmonious, not more complicated.
So often a solitary Wiccan becomes more of a philosopher than an active participant in the dance of life. It can be very easy to think about Wicca, and to slowly cease your actual ritual practice. While thinking and reflecting upon your spiritual evolution is essential to further development, maintaining your regular daily practice is paramount. Your ritual practice is your interface with the world beyond.
Solitary Wicca For Life: Complete Guide to Mastering the Craft on Your Own
To offer recognition of the divine feminine, to show one’s respect for nature, to have the opportunity for self-improvement and self-self-empowerment, and in appreciation of the decentralized aspects of the religion – these are all common reasons people choose to practice Wicca.
How do we define the goal of Wicca? A common answer is “to serve the gods.” We work with the gods, not for them. And while this is one of the goals of Wicca, it is not the only purpose. You can serve God or gods in any other religion. What makes Wicca unique?
Scott Cunningham titled one of his books Living Wicca, and this wonderful phrase encapsulates what Wicca truly is: Wicca is more than a practice—it’s a way of life. To live Wicca means living in awareness, in peace, in balance, and in harmony. It means living with the goal of every action contributing positively, and every situation teaching you something. It means being mindful, sincere, and true. Living Wicca means recognizing the Divine in everything that surrounds you, and always being able to feel your connection to the gods and the universe.
The true goal of Wicca is to create a way of life that brings you to this state. That state isn’t an end; it is a means by which you can improve your life and maintain the harmony so essential to a better life and a better world.

Magickal Activity for the 17th Day of August, the Ordeal of Odin
Rune Magick
Items needed: One small square of blue paper; a silver marking pen; one blue candle; nine inches of silver cord.
On the blue square of paper inscribe the pictured rune with the silver pen.
Light the blue candle and place it on top of the rune. Hold your hands over the candle and visualize your psychic chic abilities increasing as you chant:
Let it be, that from this hour,
I know the secrets of psychic power.
Leave the candle to burn for three hours. Extinguish the candle. Fold the paper in half and bind with the silver cord. Place the packet with your runes or cards. Keep the packet near when reading for yourself or others.
According to legend, Odin hung on the World Tree Yggdrasil for nine days, during which time he discovered the runes. In modern Asatru, this discovery is celebrated with a nine-day festival starting on August 17. To those who follow the Norse traditions, Odin is the chief deity and appears in many aspects, among them leader of the wild hunt, God of magick, chooser of the slain in battle, and the dispenser of gifts. As king of Aesir, he was the God of fertility and the last sheaf of wheat was left in offering to his horse. His magickal number was 9 (the days he endured initiation on the World Tree), his color is blue (as is his cloak), and the raven of the Valkyries who attend him are sacred.
This day of the week is dedicated to the moon and all of her magic and mystery. Mondays are for women’s mysteries, illusion, prophetic dreaming, emotions, travel, and fertility.
Some suggestions for Monday enchantments would include:
*Getting outside and looking for the moon in the heavens. Sit under her light and absorb a little glamour. Call on the moon goddess Selene for practical help in magical issues.
*Invoking the god Thoth for wisdom and insight
*Empowering your silver jewelry under the light of the moon. Wear moonstone or pearl jewelry today to add a lunar and magical shimmer to your outfit. Be mysterious and subtle and wear moon-associated colors such as white, silver, and blue.
*Working spells for safe travel with a simple moonstone
*Gathering bluebells, jasmine, gardenias, or white roses to create a little garden witchery with the flowers that are associated with the moon
*Setting up a lunar Tarot spell today to increase your psychic powers
*Eating a lunar fruit such as a melon to be healthy, serene, and at peace
*Brewing up a cup of chamomile or mint tea and enchanting it for sweet dreams and restful sleep
Seasons of the Witch – Legends and Lore, Ancient Holidays And Some Not So Ancient!
Today Is …
Egyptian: Ritual day in the Temples of Ra, Osiris and Horus
Feast of Diana in Rome. Invite friends over for a great dinner. Every year on this date, the Goddess of Chastity, Hunting, and the Moon was honored by the ancient Romans. This is a special day of feasting, mirth, and magic-making for many Dianic Wiccans, since Diana is the most sacred goddess of their tradition.
Ghost Dance On this date in the year 1950, Oglala Sioux mystic and medicine man Nicholas Black Elk died in Manderson, South Dakota. He was known for his great powers of prophecy and healing, and was an adherent of the Ghost Dance, a short-lived Native American religious movement which ended in a tragic massacre at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1890.
Blessing of the Grapes – In Armenia, the blessing of the Grapes takes place on the Sunday closest to the Assumption (they coincide this year). No grapes are eaten until today when they are taken to church to be blessed, then distributed to the churchgoers when they leave. Women named Mary have parties in vineyards or their homes (because this is considered their name day — as in many cultures, the saint’s day associated with your name is celebrated like a birthday). Spicer, Dorothy Gladys, The Book of Festivals, The Women’s Press 1937
Hera Thelkinia – On the 20th day of the lunar month of Metageitnion, the Greeks celebrated this festival in honor of Hera as Thelkinia, which some translate as the Charmer and others as the Enchanter.
Cat Nights -Someone thought that cats deserved their own month-long holiday after the Dog Days and decided that this was the starting date for it. Makes sense to me.
Portunalia – An obscure Roman festival associated with the harbor god Portunus, whose symbol was the key. He may have been a god of gates, or the keys that secure grain storehouses. Until AD 17, this was also the dedication day of Janus’s temple. Considering the value of stored grain, which is both food in winter and seed for spring, it makes sense that blessing the keys or transporting the grain to the storehouse at harvest time would become a sacred ritual.
China: FEAST OF THE HUNGRY GHOSTS. Wide variety of offerings for those who died orphans, paupers or beggars & those who died far from home. Those lonesome & desolate souls may return to inhabit leaves & grasses, & spread plagues. If offerings are made, they may stay away.
20: Full Moon – Corn Moon 29 August 2015 20: Birthday of author Ann Moura in 1947 31: Birthday of author Raymond Buckland
GrannyMoon’s Morning Feast Archives Remember the ancient ways and keep them sacred! )0( Live each Season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. ~Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862)
The sacred day of the Moon, personified by such goddesses as Selene, Luna, Diana, and Artemis. The Moon is ruler of flow affecting the changeable aspects of people. If a full moon falls on a Monday, its powers are at their most potent.
Magical aspects: peace, sleep, healing, compassion, friendships, psychic awareness, purification, and fertility Monday is ruled by the moon – an ancient symbol of mystery and peace. Monday is a special day for mothers as the cycle of the moon has long been associated with the female menstrual cycle. Those wishing to conceive a baby would be wise to try on a Monday as the magic of motherhood is strong and pregnancy is in the air.
This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving agriculture, animals, female fertility, messages, reconciliation’s, theft, voyages, dreams, emotions, clairvoyance, home, family, medicine, cooking, personality, merchandising, psychic work, Faerie magic, and Goddess rituals.
Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment
Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.
So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.
Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.
Book of Witchery: Spells, Charms & Correspondences for Every Day of the Week
Moonrise. Key Words: Magick, dreams, health, love, home and family In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon. In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar. On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked.
Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day.
Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.
