Additional Information about the Rune, Laguz

 

laguz : water

 

Phonetic equivalent: l

 

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

 

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

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:
Njord, Midgard Serpent

 

ANALYSIS:
When most people think of water, they generally think of its more pleasant associations – peacefulness, love, compassion, intuition, and the emotions in general. However, we must remember that, to the Norse, water most often meant the sea, and the sea was a terrifying, unpredictable place, home of the Midgard serpent and the grave of many sailors. Laguz, then, should be thought of in terms of the lighter and the darker sides of the element of water. It speaks to our primal fears of the dark, the cold, and all those terrifying things hidden deep within our subconscious minds.
Like eihwaz, which forced the journeyer to confront his or her mortality, laguz makes us examine the underlying roots of our personality and behavior, and allows us to modify those aspects which are hindering our spiritual development. The understanding and wisdom gained through eihwaz and the runes which followed have prepared the journeyer to face this darker side (represented by laguz) and accept it as an integral part of their selves. Laguz also prepares the person to take on the task of helping others through this self-examination process, allowing them to empathize more strongly and share their own experiences, making it (among other things) the rune of the spiritual counsellor.

Your Daily Tarot Card for September 4th is Judgement

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

Judgement


Judgment embodies those forces which require us to be accountable for our actions. With Judgment truths are revealed, mysteries are unraveled and responsibility is assigned. Judgment unveils outcomes and marks the ends of things. While it is a time to properly place guilt, it is also a time for atonement and forgiveness. Ultimately the process of Judgment should lead to freedom from errors made in the past and a fresh start with a clean slate. To that end Judgment actually promises the start of a new journey on which we can apply what we have learned from our past

Get a Jump on Tomorrow,

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, September 5th

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope

We may appear easygoing at first but strong convictions override our desire for a lighthearted conversation with everyone we meet. The interactive Gemini Moon enables us to flirt with more meaningful issues without necessarily becoming emotionally involved. However, the willful Sun forms a free-flowing trine with unrelenting Pluto, driving our feelings into the eye of any hurricane in the vicinity. Clever words give way to passionate encounters.

Aries Horoscope

Mar 21 – Apr 19

Nothing is more important to you today than living up to other people’s expectations and you might even become obsessive about doing the right thing. Your drive to finish what you start is probably much stronger than your need to be distracted. You understand that you have no other option but to take care of unfinished business before you run out of time. There are deadlines to meet and your reputation is at stake; it’s now or never.

Taurus Horoscope

Apr 20 – May 20

Your emotional steadiness goes beyond a textbook description of a stubborn Bull. Romantic concerns that might normally be upsetting are taken in stride today because you believe you can safely say what’s on your mind. However, you might have a sneaky suspicion that no one is listening to you. But don’t rock the boat just to see if anyone is paying attention. Waiting for the right moment to have a rational discussion is less stressful for everyone involved and more effective in the long run.

Gemini Horoscope

May 21 – Jun 20

You’re confident you can communicate your ideas easily today, and you expect others to be charmed by your charisma. Although you may be poised to swing into action before you have all the details in place, your cavalier attitude clashes with a more contemplative side of your personality that comes to the forefront now. Assimilate your careful analysis into your strategy, for it helps you hit your target with even more accuracy. Practice makes perfect.

Cancer Horoscope

Jun 21 – Jul 22

Your brain may win out over your heart in an internal struggle between logic and emotions. But it isn’t wise to overreact to a situation before you allow sufficient time to process your feelings. It makes good sense to override a strong attraction that will only add drama to your life as long as you don’t just shut down prematurely out of fear. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is to take care of yourself.

Leo Horoscope

Jul 23 – Aug 22

It could seem as if you have reached the end of the road and that summer is already over, even though it’s not. However, your anticipation of the future heightens your sense of urgency today as the Moon highlights your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes. You might try to squeeze so much into your schedule that you don’t have time to enjoy any of it. Nevertheless, a more deliberate approach works if you stop and set priorities early in the day. Oddly enough, slowing down enables you to accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible.

Virgo Horoscope

Aug 23 – Sep 22

You may be locked in an endless debate that has no clear winner as passionate Pluto aligns with the practical Virgo Sun today. Your words sound overly emotional, even if that’s not how you feel. Although you might keep your vulnerability a secret for now, the truth will probably leak out soon enough, anyhow. Take control by shifting the conversation from a confrontational argument into an opportunity to share your passions. No one can find fault with your words as long as you communicate in a respectful manner.

Libra Horoscope

Sep 23 – Oct 22

You wish you could lean on others now, but everyone seems to be on their own edge of change and therefore somewhat unavailable. Meanwhile, you can find balance as long as you keep your worries to yourself. Unfortunately, you may be living under an illusion based upon what you don’t want to know. Nevertheless, it’s easier to simply take care of a problem by responding quickly than it is to wait and see what will happen next if you leave things alone. Don’t put off until tomorrow what can be done today.

Scorpio Horoscope

Oct 23 – Nov 21

Don’t quit now just because you’re feeling overwhelmed. Have faith that you can get through all your assignments if you simply focus on one task at a time. However, all kinds of distractions pull you away from your mundane commitments. Fortunately, the Sun’s trine to persistent Pluto blesses you with the ability to maintain your concentration, no matter what. You can reach your desired destination if you put your mind to it. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Sagittarius Horoscope

Nov 22 – Dec 21

Although your enthusiastic nature can often move mountains, optimism alone isn’t enough to prepare you for the big changes ahead. Don’t try to fake competence or you could find yourself in over your head before you know it. You must clearly demonstrate your competence before you ask others to accept you as their leader. Your passion is inspirational but all talk and no action won’t get you very far today. Lead by example and not by command.

Capricorn Horoscope

Dec 22 – Jan 19

There’s so much uncontrollable energy floating around in the atmosphere today that you might not be able to suppress your current anxiety. However, you won’t find peace of mind by trying to run the entire show. Being in touch with your feelings isn’t necessarily a problem, especially if it motivates you to exert your authority over those parts of your life that are within your sphere of influence. But don’t fight an unwinnable battle; knowing when to let go can turn potential frustration into surprising satisfaction.

Aquarius Horoscope

Jan 20 – Feb 18

If there are lingering questions from a close friend or partner hanging between you, respond to them as fast as possible because your window of opportunity is closing quickly now. Instead of secretively manipulating the pieces of the puzzle, bring any remaining concerns out in the open while you can. Once all your cards are on the table today, it will be much easier to talk about what is wrong and discuss a variety of possible solutions. Clearing the air is the kindest thing you can do for all parties involved.

Pisces Horoscope

Feb 19 – Mar 20

Stand up and say what’s on your mind today because your words carry the intensity of the conviction of your beliefs. Go the extra mile to be completely honest with your friends while the Sun harmonizes with profound Pluto in your 11th House of Social Networking. Just be certain you’re making sense when you share your feelings, since you could be extremely passionate about a relationship issue now. Aim your thoughts carefully and don’t stray from your truth. Claim your power while you have the chance.

An Overview of Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for Sept. 4 – 6

Weekend Love Horoscope

September 4-6: Love is back!

The Moon will be in Gemini on Friday and Saturday, offering up a nice opportunity for you and someone special to engage in plenty of intellectually stimulating activities. If your mental connection isn’t there, then you might not feel the love in the same dynamic way you usually do. Your mood will be more sensitive to whether or not your sweetie can meet your cerebral needs. Fortunately, it looks promising.

The big news however, doesn’t happen until the wee hours of Sunday morning. Venus, the planet of love and relationships, will turn direct after having been retrograde since late July. Matters of the heart will finally move forward again in the direction you hope. A Cancer Moon on Sunday afternoon will add a deeper feeling to all romantic potential. Yes!

Weekly LightBlast: Following the Heart

To read more of Jamye’s insight, please visit her website, Crystalline Soul Healing

 

Blessed Being, your biology and your environment are deeply entwined. There is a reflection that must be found, for it is not as direct as the reflection in the mirror, but it shows you a path of expansion that is natural. As you observe life, how it co-operates, sacrifices, or holds a strong boundary; you find a path of expansion that is natural. This path of expansion continues life and strengthens it to thrive.

You are on a path of expansion that is natural to you, though perhaps confusing at times. Improvement may look or feel like deconstruction in a moment, so you are strengthening your discernment and trust in yourself, others and Life.

In this time of Ascension, you are integrating natural systems that are invisible to you; intuition, time, clarity of your vibrational data, connection with humanity and a cosmic heritage that expands your identity into a broader truth. These are nebulous concepts; they are invisible, they do not have a singular instruction set that guarantees an outcome. In essence, you are learning to Follow Your Heart into connection with the yet unseen, trusting the invisible nature of Love to build a strong foundation upon which the diversity of humanity thrives.

To Follow Your Heart requires some access to your intuition/inner knowing, a trust in the perfection of time and a clarity of your vibrational data so that you are connecting with Life through empowered Love. As you no longer maintain vibrations of shame, guilt, fear, resentment and any other separative emotional data; you are freeing your vibrational information to connect you with a greater truth of Love. Synchronicity and miracle are some of the descriptions you use, but it is just your natural alignment with the change that is forming. Direct yourself into more vibrational clarity and Follow Your Heart to synchronicities and miracles. It is time.

As we sit to Blast Following the Heart, we are strengthening our desire for clarity within and connection with Life. We are opening our minds to new possibility as we see the miracle of Life before us. We are transforming pain into the wisdom of lesson learned, understanding the value of free will. We are appreciating our connection with Life, creating a new opportunity for Love where none existed before. We are the bridge that leads to new stable ground that supports Love’s thriving on Earth. Blast on!

September 2015 Energy Forecast: Choose Your Own Adventure

September 2015 Energy Forecast: Choose Your Own Adventure

To read more of Lee’s insight, please visit his website, Lee Harris Energy

 

 

Hello everybody and welcome to the Energy Forecast for September 2015.

Let’s take a breath. (Lee breathes deeply in and out)

And another one.

And one more.

It’s really good to remember to do this for yourself daily, as many times as you can. Just give yourself a conscious breath moment – particularly if things are feeling fast or overwhelming.

I spoke in the July and August forecasts about fire energy, particularly the kundalini fire energy that has been moving through everybody in different ways. But for many of you, it will have shown up in a very deep, internal way. There is a part of you that has been re-calibrating from the inside out, and at lightning speed — and sometimes with an intensity or ferocity that you are not accustomed to.

Welcoming the Energy of Water

So this month we will feel a little more water energy, and that is going to bring more spaciousness to the fire that has been moving for and in most of you over the last two months.

Of course we’re all going to be at slightly different places. Some of you might be just coming into this now and catching the back end of the wave of fire of the last two months. But for those of you who’ve been feeling the intensity that I’ve been talking about, what September is going to give you is a new level of clarity and a knowing that will allow you to make changes. Where July and August may have felt intense, fiery, or reactive, the end of that process is now with you. You’re going to come out of that inner re-calibration period and start to have much more of a sense of external direction: “Ah, yeah, I need to slightly rearrange this relationship.” Or, “I need to do something slightly different over here.”

The energy of September is going to be much more about how to take that intense inner change out into the outer world in a steady and effective way. Because there are effective and calm ways to make lasting changes that can’t usually come through you in a fiery moment.

The Strength of Your Own Knowing

So let’s just first of all look at this word “knowing.”

We live in a world where we are influenced by each other. We are influenced by so many different opinions and ideas, and we tend to have taken them on as our own.

So for example, if you have a father (or mother) who has very strong beliefs about a certain type of person or a certain job, a lot of you will have been influenced by that. Yes, there are always the rebels who push against it. But even when you’re pushing against something, some part of you has a belief or an alignment with it, otherwise you would never need to push against it.

So when I talk about knowing, I’m talking about what is it that you and only you know in the way that you know it? Because no matter how much you might see yourself as subservient or a “yes person” to other people in your life, you’re actually very strong in what it is that you came here to do and be that is unique to you.

Communicating with Certainty and Calm

So this month, your own concrete knowing is going to show up in a very strong way. This can mean that you will run into some issues with others. So for example, you might present your knowing to another and they might want to push against it or oppose; they may want to test you. But different to prior months, you will feel even more certain about your own knowing of what is true. And for many of you, you’re going to have a much calmer way of saying to the other person, “Yeah I see that that’s your opinion, but no, for me it’s something different.”

Unmasking Anxiety

This is important because the anxiety that has been underlying for so many people over the last few years has rapidly increased in the last 3 to 4 months. The anxiety is for many reasons but speed of transformation on the planet plays a big part. An unconsciousness about this energy of anxiety often leads others to try and impose their energy on you or on an outer circumstance in their life.

For example, if you were telling me that you want to go skydiving and I was unaware of my own anxiety or discomfort about skydiving, I might try to talk you out of it. If I’m not being honest with myself about how skydiving makes me feel (terrified), I would only hear your desire through my own anxious filters. I might say, “Well, you know, be careful because I read some really dangerous stories about that last week, and I think you should just be mindful of that.”

So that would be me unconsciously offering or forcing my energy on to you. And when you’re somebody who’s very receptive, empathic, or sensitive — many of you will relate to this — you might walk away from that conversation having absorbed the energy of it, and start doubting yourself: “Oh yeah, maybe I shouldn’t, maybe he’s right…”

Being Mindful of the Energy We’re Putting Out into the World

This is where we need to be mindful of the energy that we are giving and offering to others. Most people on the planet aren’t aware that that’s what they’re doing.

So with you having this greater level of knowing in and for yourself — with you having this clarity of who it is you are and what it is you are here to do and why you are doing it — you’re going to find it far easier to be mindful of holding that strength when around others and the energies that are unconsciously moving through people.

And if you are honest with yourself, you’ll be really impressed with how you’re managing this now versus who you were 2-3 years ago.

Celebrating Your Growth and Your Breakthroughs

So always celebrate yourself for the breakthroughs.

It’s really important to be able to look back and go, “Wow, two years ago that would’ve been a real struggle for me.” It’s part of being honest and grateful with yourself about your journey of growth; because we have one physical life as this identity in this physical form.

And for those of you who love the journey of life and the growth of life, one of the ways that you absolutely continue to galvanize more openings and more growth is to havegreat gratitude and appreciation for how far you’ve come.

So take a moment to think about that for yourself.

What is it that comes to mind about you and your journey while I’m speaking to you about this? What can you say is different for you from 2013 or 2011? It’s very important because the awareness of your growth tends to supercharge where you’re going next.

So, see that difference in who you are now versus back then. And recognize that that very difference in you sometimes provokes reactions from others — when they try and bring you back to who you were, or they try and bring you to that fear level they exist in … about skydiving, for example. 🙂

Radical Expression and The Power to Reshape Our Lives

So, your knowing and your clarity are not only internal now, but in this September to December period, they will be very much something you’re bringing to the outer world.

I just gave a talk in London on ‘Radical Expression’. And the basis of that talk was about how we have no idea the incredible power of our words to reshape and redirect our life. So it makes us nervous to express very authentically who we are and to bring it out of our bodies. Because of the huge impact that change in expression will cause in our outer lives and experiences. As humans, until we awaken and surrender to a high degree, we tend to desire and fear change in equal measure.

So for example, the person telling me about wanting to skydive could say back to me and my fear based reaction to their desire, “Yeah, I understand that you might be scared about skydiving Lee, and thank you for cautioning me. That’s sweet. I know you care about me. But trust me, I’ve got to do this. It’s going to be amazing! I just know I’ve got to do it.”

That changes the dynamic. Rather than keeping their mouth closed or avoiding the conversation, they walk away from that meeting very differently — and so do I.

Many of you who used to stay silent, nowadays will not be able to keep your mouth shut in the same way you used to. The path of least resistance for many of you used to be silence.

Now the path is going to be the freedom to express yourself to people in your world, and to recognize that when you speak your truth in an empowered, loving, and compassionate way — willingly and honestly without needing to fight the other person — you absolutely change your life and the energy of the interaction for all. You change the way that everything ahead of you, and every interaction ahead of you, is going to go.

Choose Your Own Adventure

One of the things that we tend to forget is that there are multiple paths for us all of the time, every day.

So for example, the way that you show up in one interaction with a person is going to hugely influence what happens next and where you go next.

I’m recalling in England, as a child, we had these books — Choose Your Own Adventure books. Depending on the way that you read a page or where you wanted to go next, you would have different pages in the book that you could flip to based on your choice. The energy of life is very similar. That level of living is higher than ever right now. So the speed at which you can flip into a different reality is higher than ever.

For those of you who are still kind of clearing things out, or in a tougher phase, go back to my last 3-4 months of videos and have a look at what you can find in there that can be helpful for lifting you.

More than ever, more of you are going to feel more — more lifted, more alive, more ready than ever before. And it’s that very level of consciousness that is transforming the planet.

We’re going into an even greater period where so much of the old is changing, and so much of the new is coming online. It starts with us and it starts inside us.

So that’s the process that we’re all in. That’s the journey we’re all on. And more than before, you are going to be offered opportunities to feel the miracle of that way of living in your own being, in your own life, every single day.

So I wish you all of a lot of love this month with your journey. Remember: knowing and clarity lead to greater expression and the ability to know that you’re alive. And from that standpoint, you can celebrate that you are living in a very true, very authentic way.

So lots of love everybody … and see you next month.

This is the time when flowers are in bloom and the energy of faeries is everywhere. In this spell you are creating a faery circle as a way of bringing this fluorescent energy into your life.

You will need a pot of marigolds and thirteen sunflower seeds.

Place the pot of marigolds in a sunny location. Call to Mari, Queen of the Faeries, to protect and give life to the flowers:

Queen Mari, give life to this flower

That bears your name and glows

with your divine fluorescence.

Place the thirteen sunflower seeds in a circle around the marigolds. As you do so, call out to the faeries:

Marigolds and sunflowers,

Spread the magic of faery powers.

Care for the flowers during the month of the barley moon, making sure to give them the care and attention they need to thrive.

Let’s Talk Witch – Image Magick

Image Magick

 

Image magic usually conjures up visions of sneering voodoo dolls bristling with black-headed pins. We have the media and a century of fundamentalist propaganda to thank for that. The so-called voodoo doll, which is neither solely connected with that much-misunderstood religion, nor is necessarily a doll, has as its roots image magic, which has been known in every magical system since the dawn of recorded history. Everywhere, images have been made of various types of wood, clay, lead, gold and silver. They have been marked on large leaves, bark, animal skins, and fashioned from lemons, onions, apples, eggs, turnips, nuts, coconuts, limes, potatoes, and the infamous mandrake root.

Sometimes the image is carved to the minutest detail, right down to the strands of hair. At other times it is a crude outline engraved onto flat surfaces such as peels of fruits, bark, or even in the earth herself, scratched with fingernails or sticks into the dust.

Whatever the substances, whatever the spell, the image stands as one of the most-used objects in the history of magic.

Today, after nearly five thousand years of continuous use as a technique, it has a wholly unfounded evil reputation.

True, image magic has been used for negative purposes, but so has nearly every other form of magic. Its most useful contribution to the magical arts is that it enables us to have a plan or diagram for ourselves or those we’re working magic for.

Not that the image actually becomes the person represented; no images are baptized or breathed into life, as in some of the darker workings. The outlines or images simply serve as blueprints with which we plan and make our future selves, always in improved conditions.

Books of magic that crowd the shelves of occult stores today are full of image magic, usually designed to cause torture or death, and the dolls themselves can usually be purchased, through the mail, complete with pins!

But none of this will be discussed here. Instead, the more humane aspects will be explored, and the spells— all of which are easy— are those that vibrate love and healing, protection and blessing.

While it is commonly supposed that image magic is performed with dolls, figure candles, or paper cutouts, the first three spells given here are best performed with a flat dish of moist earth that you have freshly gathered. Before using the earth, remove any rocks, twigs, and other impurities.

Spread the moist earth or sand an inch deep in a round dish or plate— preferably at least ten inches in diameter to give you plenty of room.

This will be your “canvas” upon which you will mark your image.

Your writing instrument will be a sturdy twig, or perhaps a sharpened pencil. Thousands of years ago they used stylus and clay.

If the earth is too dry, you may wish to add a little water. If you cannot obtain clean soil, then collect some sand (or buy some) and wet it until it “sets,” that is, until it will retain a figure sketched onto the sand.

These preparations are to be repeated for each piece of image magic you do. Return the used dirt after a spell to the earth.

Of course, if you can actually perform these spells on the ground, results will be better, since this is the way they were originally done. The spells will have to be modified slightly, but again, it will be well worth the effort.

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Horn Fair

September 4

Horn Fair

 

The Charlton Horn Fair was one of London’s most popular lar and longest-running fairs until it was discontinued in 1872. The fair was famous for its fixation on “horns.” During the fair’s heyday, thousands sands of people from all over England flocked to the fair wearing, carrying, and displaying horns. Every sort of horn imaginable inable and everything made from horn was for sale.

The legend behind the fair relates how King John was out hunting on Shooter’s Hill when he stopped to rest at the miller’s house. The only person home was the miller’s charming wife. It seems that the king and the young woman began kissing when the miller walked in and caught them. He drew his dagger, threatening to kill them both, but, when he realized who he was dealing with, decided on some other compensation instead. The king thus granted him all the land visible from the Charlton to the river beyond the Rotherhithe and the right to hold a fair each year. However, it seems that the miller’s neighbors became jealous and renamed the river boundary “Cuckold’s Point.” Each year at the fair, the disgruntled neighbors would wear horns and horned helmets to the fair in a mocking gesture. ture. In popular culture, the phrase “he wears the horns” was used to identify the cuckold husband. Later on, the fair was moved to October, and then disbanded.

Friday’s Witchery

Friday’s Witchery

 

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

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