Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for August 23 is The Empress

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

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.

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Raidho

 

raiðo : journey

Phonetic equivalent: r

DIVINATORY MEANINGS: journey, pilgrimage, change, destiny, quest, progress, life lessons

MAGICAL USES: protection for travellers, to ease or bring about change, to reconnect

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES: the Norns, Sigurd’s journey

ANALYSIS: Raiðo represents the path of a person’s life and how it intersects and interacts with other paths. In Norse mythology, these paths are seen as threads of fate, and are regulated by the Norns. The Norns are three sisters who live near the first root of Yggdrasil, which they tend with the water from the well of Wyrd. They also spin the fates of Gods and men, which is important when understanding the mechanism of runic divination and magic.

The complex network of relationships formed by these threads of fate can be thought of as a web. Every chance encounter forms another connection in the web, and by tugging on one thread you affect everything else in the system. Most people do this completely unconsciously, but by becoming aware of the pattern of the threads surrounding you, it becomes possible to recognize and follow up on the kind of catalytic events that seemed to happen to us randomly back at fehu. In this way, we can find our way more easily along the path of our own journey, thus deriving the greatest benefit from its lessons. Otherwise we tend to get distracted and end up on detours and dead ends.

Raiðo reminds us that, although it may seem that we have accomplished our goals at ansuz, life and change continue and we must always go on. We will eventually end up where we began, but on a higher level and with a better perspective. The journey never really ends.

Your Daily Tarot Card for August 23 is The Devil

 

 

 

Tarot Card of the Day

The Devil


August 23, 2015

What has traditionally been known as the Devil card expresses the realm of the Taboo, the culturally rejected wildness and undigested shadow side that each of us carries in our subconscious. This shadow is actually at the core of our being, which we cannot get rid of and will never succeed in taming. From its earliest versions, which portrayed a vampire-demon, this card evoked the Church-fueled fear that a person could “lose their soul” to wild and passionate forces.

The image which emerged in the mid-1700’s gives us a more sophisticated rendition — that of the “scapegoated Goddess,” whose esoteric name is Baphomet. Volcanic reserves of passion and primal desire empower her efforts to overcome the pressure of stereotyped roles and experience true freedom of soul. Tavaglione’s highly evolved image (Stella deck) portrays the magical formula for harnessing and transmuting primal and obsessive emotions into transformative energies. As a part of the Gnostic message of Tarot, this fearsome passion and power must be reintegrated into the personality, to fuel the soul’s passage from mortal to immortal.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 23rd

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

Wherever the Sun transits in your solar chart, dear Aries, you have take-charge energy and focus at your disposal for the areas of life ruled by that sector. Today and until September 23rd, the Sun spotlights your work, service, health, daily habits, and routines. Focus can be on improving your self-care habits, organization, and work commitments. You take more pride in, and are more equipped to take charge of, your health and wellness. You’re going to be putting a lot of effort into these things in the upcoming year with Jupiter spending time in this sector, and you’re likely to get some lucky boosts along the way.

Taurus

Taurus

On the 11th, Jupiter entered your romance and creativity sector for a thirteen month stay, dear Taurus. Today, the Sun begins its month-long visit to this area of your chart, and this stimulates your attention, pride, and sense of being in charge. Any latent needs to perform, entertain, have fun, attract love, and express yourself creatively come to the fore now. You could be feeling more romantic or affectionate now. You might begin creative projects or hobbies, or you could be renewing or putting more energy into these things now. You are looking for feedback and perhaps some ego strokes, but most importantly, you are recognizing your natural need for some “play” time. This cycle lasts until September 23rd and helps to kick off your lucky Jupiter cycle in a fun way.

Gemini

Gemini

The Sun moves to the lowermost place in your chart today, dear Gemini, and as it moves through your home and family sector over the coming month, you’ll be most concerned with domestic and personal matters. The outside world will still need your attention, of course, but your strongest focus now is becoming more comfortable and secure in your home, and in your own skin as well. Soothe yourself with the familiar, and step into your comfort zone. We all need to do this from time to time. The needs of family and the home environment may not necessarily increase, but you’ll hear them loud and clear. Jupiter has just recently entered this sector of your chart, bringing more joy and benefits to home and family life. The Sun here brings your pride into the equation. It’s a strong time for making improvements.

Cancer

Cancer

The Sun moves into your communications sector today, dear Cancer, where it illuminates your mind as well as the connections you have and make to others. Your daily life may become especially busy, and possibly scattered at times. There can be a lot of comings and goings. You might increase your contact and communication with others, and/or throw yourself into learning exciting new things. Some of you could discover fun new interests. Because demands on you, and your own interests, can be very diverse during this cycle, it can be difficult to work on any one project with exclusive focus. Even so, this cycle is more about discovery and branching out than specializing. Jupiter has just recently moved into this area of your chart for a longer stay, until September 2016, and this can create quite a nice, positive buzz around your communications.

Leo

Leo

The Sun leaves your sign today, and begins its month-long transit of your sector of values and resources, dear Leo. This puts a lot of emphasis on your levels of comfort and security. You’re especially interested in finding ways to settle in, but also to build upon recent ideas in order to get some results. This can involve finances, of course, but it’s also a cycle in which you get into greater touch with what it is you have, both material and spiritual resources. Whether these things help you to feel secure or if they are attempts to replace more important things that are missing from your life might be explored now, and in many ways, through the coming year with Jupiter now transiting this area of your chart until September 2016. This is a time to appreciate what you already have, and if something is truly missing, to make plans to build what you need. Taking charge of your financial affairs can also be appropriate at this time in your life. Today is strong for personal appeal and creative expression. The Moon stimulates your playful side now, but also sensitivity to whether others are paying attention and giving you the feedback you desire.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Jupiter just recently moved into your sign, dear Virgo, and today, the Sun begins its yearly, month-long visit, bringing more oomph to the table. You are at a personal peak of sorts, and this will continue in many ways for the year to come, when you feel more in charge of your life than you normally do. You might play with a new look, style, or image. You are more inclined to take mindful action rather than simply react to what is going on around you. This begins a new “birthday year”, and when your birthday does occur, remind yourself that you have more power than usual to make resolutions and to make changes that truly improve your life. As more attention comes to you, you quite naturally want to get your act together. You are more readily attracting what you need into your life now. Even so, today’s Moon visit to your home and family sector can bring out the homebody in you.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

Today, the Sun begins its transit of the most private, tucked away sector of your chart, dear Libra, and will continue to transit this sector of your chart until September 23rd. This begins a natural cycle that emphasizes the need to look back, reflect, and reconsider before you move forward with personal plans. Goals may not be clear, or could need some refinement. You may be bringing some matters to a closure. Decision making in general is a slower process now, as you are not as impulsive, confident, or sure about what you’re ready, able, and willing to do. This is a period for a tidy-up on an emotional, spiritual, or mental level. Jupiter recently entered this same sector of your chart and will visit here for over a year. This gives you a support system as the Sun transits this sector for the coming month.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Today the Sun enters your sector of connections, friendships, wishes, and hopes, dear Scorpio, and will continue to visit this house of your solar chart until September 23rd. It’s a friendly, idealistic cycle that stimulates your need to connect with people who share common ideals and aspirations. It also brings out your desire to seek happiness. Being part of a team or group effort can be especially satisfying now. It’s a time when making a contribution to your community can be satisfying, and when putting ego needs to the side in favor of group efforts can be helpful. Bringing even greater oomph to all of these things is Jupiter, having just recently begun a thirteen month visit to this same sector of your chart. You’re in the position to benefit from friendships and new goals.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

Jupiter just recently began a thirteen month visit of your career and reputation sector, kicking off a cycle of improved opportunities, professional presence, and influence, dear Sagittarius. Today, the Sun begins its month-long transit of this same sector, bringing more power, focus, and conscious, directed energy along with it. It’s a take-charge time for professional and public efforts, as well as duties and responsibilities. You quite naturally take the lead, and the spotlight. You are in greater demand, and there can be more attention to your performance and accomplishments now. Today, the Moon is in your sign, and you are seeing things from a rather emotional perspective. The Sun and your ruler, Jupiter, are in parallel aspect, and this serves to boost your personal and professional appeal all day.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

The Sun begins its yearly, month-long transit of your adventure sector today, dear Capricorn, encouraging you to reach beyond your usual limits, boundaries, and routines in order to experience and learn new things. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and increase, has just recently entered this sector of your chart, and now with the Sun here, there is more directed, take-charge energy available to you, although after the Solar Eclipse mid-September will be even more powerful. You are feeling in form and more confident now. The routine or mundane elements of your life appear less interesting and more black-and-white as you seek out more colorful life experiences. Even so, the Moon continues to transit the background of your chart today, and you may very well enjoy some quiet time just for now.

Aquarius

Aquarius

The Sun begins highlighting your solar eighth house today, dear Aquarius, shining light on sharing in intimate and financial ways. This is a time for recognizing debts to and dependencies on others, and taking charge in some manner. In fact, you can gain a real feeling of self-empowerment during this cycle that lasts until September 23rd. Debt and support in question can be either emotional or material, and if you can come to terms with it, you can feel more in control of your life. Getting to a healthier balance is important now. You are more interested in what’s going on behind the scenes and below the surface than the more superficial interactions in your life, and while investigating, playing detective, and analyzing are all favored now, taken too far, they could lead to unnecessary suspicion and a negative headspace. Sidestep your way around power games in order to focus instead on getting closer with someone important in your life and with yourself. Be as honest with yourself as possible for the best results. Jupiter is helping you out all month and beyond, as this planet of plenty recently entered this same sector of your chart, bringing joy and benefits to your intimate world.

Pisces

Pisces

You are beginning a relationship-focused month-long cycle today, dear Pisces, with the Sun’s move into Virgo. Jupiter has just recently entered this sector of your chart and will spend over a year here, bringing benefits to and from your relationships. You take more pride in how you get along with others, and how well you find harmony and balance in your personal environment. Many of you are more companionable, sociable, and compromising than usual, as your awareness of the needs of, and needs for, others becomes very obvious. Your own personal agenda may need to wait. At times, it may seem that others are directing your life in some way. Of course, in order to relate well with other people, a strong sense of self is vital. You need to know what you want and what you’re prepared to give. Today, you are more noticeable and accountable than usual, and duties call to you!

Lady A’s Specialty of the Day – Third Eye Rite to Improve Psychic Powers Spell


Fantasy Comments & Graphics

Third Eye Rite to Improve Psychic Powers Spell


Perform this neo-Pagan ritual to improve psychic powers three days before the moon is full, and preferably when it is in either the astrological sign of Cancer, Pisces or Scorpio.

Begin by brewing a strong magical tea made from yarrow or mugwort (herbs that
stimulate the psychic senses) and then light thirteen purple colored votive candles to
help attract psychic influences.

Drink the tea and then gaze fixedly into a magic mirror, crystal ball, or crystal pyramid
as you chant thrice the following incantation:

I invoke thee, O Asariel
Archangel of Neptune
And ruler of clairvoyant powers.
I ask thee now to open my third eye
And show me the hidden light
Let me see the future.
Let me see the past.
Let me perceive the divine
Kingdoms of the unknown.
Let me understand the wisdom
Of the mighty universe.
So mote it be!

After chanting, relax, breathe slowly and concentrate on opening your Third Eye.
Do not permit any negative thought to contaminate your mind.

The Third Eye, an invisible chakra located in the middle of the forehead above the
space between the eyebrows, is the human body’s highest source of power,
supernormal sight and clairvoyant vision.

Let’s Talk Witch – Shielding


Fantasy Comments & Graphics

Let’s Talk Witch – Shielding

 

The objective of shielding is to provide you with a layer of protection from unwanted negative energy. It can be counter-productive energy, draining energy, or even dangerous magickal energy directed towards you. You can perform shielding to protect a person or a place such as your bed or your vehicle when you’re inside it.

a)The Sphere of Light

To do this type of shielding, you are to visualize a three dimensional sphere of light. You are cocooned within that sphere of light. When you move, it moves with you.

If you wish to form a shield that would allow you to send energy as well, create a porous sphere. Similar to the grounding technique, envision that shield absorbing all the negative energy. Then, observe in your mind’s eye as that energy flows back into the earth along with the one that you release.

b)The Brick Shield

     To perform this kind of shielding conjure happy memories and positive images. Each picture, each memory, is a brick.

Envision these memory and image bricks going on top of the other.

Keep on conjuring good thoughts until you are able to build a wall. When you build a brick wall, make sure that it surrounds you on all sides, including the top and the bottom.

An important note: You must never make use of negative emotions to build a brick wall. It might seem easier, but the wall is more likely to crumble. The thing about creating bricks from negative emotions is that others sense them. Someone else can pick up on your negative mental images, augment them and send them back to you. This will result to intense feelings of self-directed disgust.

Also, keep in mind that compared to the Sphere of Light, the Brick Shield demands more time and energy. However, it is also more effective.
