Additional information about Today’s Runes, Naudhiz

nauþiz :need, necessity

Phonetic equivalent: n

DIVINATORY MEANINGS:: poverty, hardship, responsibility, discontent, obstacle, frustration

MAGICAL USES:: to represent a need to be filled

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:: Freyr & Gurd, the Otter’s Gold
: ANALYSIS:If hagalaz is a flying ladle, then nauþiz is the empty pot. It is a gentle, nudging reminder that all is not as it should be. Life appears to be out of synch, and nothing seems to be going right. No matter how much you have, it is never enough, and there is an ever present desire for something more, something better. On the positive side, this dissatisfaction with the status quo can serve to draw one away from the relative safety of wunjo and motivate towards change.Nauþiz represents an imbalance between one’s desires and one’s assets. How you resolve this situation will influence the rest of the journey, but the awareness of the imbalance itself can also be illuminating.

It causes you to closely examine and perhaps reassess your values and priorities, and forces you back onto the path of your own happiness. Perhaps mythologist Joseph Campbell said it best when he enjoined us to ‘follow our bliss’; in other words, that we will know that we are on the right track spiritually when we are doing those things which make us the most happy and fulfilled. Nauþiz helps us to take the first step on that path by letting us know when we have strayed from it

Your Monthly Tarot Card Forecast for September

Monthly Tarot Card Forecast: Sept. 2015

Emotional baggage, changes, and the will to move forward!

Hi, I’m Brigit Esselmont, professional Tarot reader and teacher! Today I have for you a very special Tarot card forecast for the month of September. What I’ll be doing is drawing three cards: one for the blessings of this month, one for the challenges of this month, and our final card for how we can make the most of the month ahead…

Blessings/Opportunities Card: Eight of Cups, Reversed

Now, the first card that I drew, for our opportunities, is the Eight of Cups, Reversed. You can see that there’s a man who’s turned his back on the eight cups and he’s decided to walk away from them, leaving behind the emotional stuff (so what we can see in those cups), the emotional baggage, I suppose, and deciding to walk away from that.

Now, in the reverse position, and knowing that this is about our blessing and opportunities this month, you may find in September it actually serves you well to let go of the stuff that’s disappointing you recently.

Challenges Card: Death, Reversed

With our challenges, we’ve got the Death card, Reversed. It does look like quite a scary card with the figure of Death on the horse, but it’s really about death and transformation. And when it’s appearing in the reverse position, and particularly when it’s appearing as a challenge, what I see coming out with this card is that there may be some resistance to change.

Now with the Eight of Cups, Reversed, it’s important to walk away from something right now that has been disappointing. With the Death, Reversed card there may be some resistance as you go along, with that. So really have a think about, “What, right now, during this month, is changing for me? What skin am I shedding? What parts of myself do I need to let go of, in order for something new to grow?”

Maybe there’s a really good outcome if you can leave behind something that’s no longer working for you. So just really tune into any feelings around resisting change.

Recommendation Card: Two of Pentacles

For our card for how we can make the most of this month, we’ve got the Two of Pentacles. And you can see this guy, juggling coins, and it’s almost like he’s doing a bit of a dance. And it’s about just the stuff of life, the day-to-day demands, about managing your To Do list. This card’s just saying to you, “Keep on top of your affairs, keep on top of your money, keep on top of your responsibilities.” Set out a plan if you need to — schedule for the month ahead — and that will help to balance things out.

At a deeper level, remember, you are dealing with some big changes, and the opportunities are about leaving behind something that’s no longer working, and at the some time making sure that everything is running smoothly.

Embrace all of that change and transformation that is surrounding all of us, and make the most of it!

I look forward to connecting with you again for our next month’s forecast.

Your Daily Tarot Card for September 6th is The Devil

Tarot Card of the Day

The Devil

September 6th, 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.

Get a jump on Tomorrow….

Your Horoscopes for Monday, September 7th, Labor Day

Aries

The Cancer Moon today highlights your sector of home and family, dear Aries, encouraging you to slow down rather than take new action. This is also important because Venus is only just coming out of a station. Take it easy today, and if possible, spend special time with family or people who you find comforting and familiar. Even so, there is creative, useful energy for practical solutions and for work, and you’re best off applying it to things you truly need to handle. Later today, if you feel the urge to prove yourself, ask yourself if it’s something you truly need to do. If you’re behaving from a place of fear or anger, you may do something regrettable, so aim to sow the seeds of future success by moving above your insecurities.

Taurus

You can begin to feel especially busy now, dear Taurus, and while a good part of you is still in a homebody mood these days, people and circumstances may not allow you the pleasure of peace and quiet! It’s a busy day, and the trick will be to keep your head on straight. It may be a good idea to be active with people you love in order to harness the energy in a satisfying way rather than flitting from one activity to the next. Later today, you can feel a strong need to be recognized for your efforts by the people dearest or closest to you, but others may not be on the same wavelength. Perhaps you feel that when you need them the most, they’re absent or self-absorbed. Ride this out – it’s likely just a brief time of being out of sync.

Gemini

With Mars in your communications sector speeding up your thinking, dear Gemini, there can be times when you are a little too scattered to focus on one thing and tackle it without distraction. Today, however, something can capture your interest and hold it long enough for you to really get into it. It’s a good time to apply your energies to a pet project. There can be special passion and vigor in what you’re doing now. Later today, there may be some passive-aggressive overtones in others that disturb you. Inner restlessness is stirred and it may take you some time to come in touch with what it is that you are craving. However, enjoy conversations and new ideas now.

Cancer

The desire to feel more secure and comfortable is the driver behind a lot of what you do these days, dear Cancer. Today, there can be special motivation and passion about a project or ambition towards this end. A partner may be integral to this, and may have something helpful to contribute. With Venus now moving forward in your resources sector, you’re more able to attract what you need to you. With the Moon in your sign, you have “come alive”, ready to share and connect with others. You have a greater need to feel that you belong and that others need or want you. Later today, you could find an error or an inconsistency that needs correcting, but try not to let this discourage you. Right a wrong and forgive yourself. There is no need to dwell.

Leo

Try to listen to any signals that suggest you may need to take extra time to yourself, for rest, or otherwise slow down and minimize distractions, dear Leo. The Moon is in the sign just behind yours all day, and the need to replenish yourself emotionally before a new cycle begins (tomorrow night). Certainly with Mars in your sign these days it’s rather easy to get you fired up, but there are times like today when you need to recharge. Happily, this is a good day for focus and concentration, particularly from morning to early afternoon. Good energy is with you for helping someone out behind the scenes. You seem to instinctively know when to go for something and when to reel it in. Later today, your intuition may not be serving you as well simply because guilt or fear could be masked as gut feeling.

Virgo

Both Venus and Mars are moving through your privacy sector these days, dear Virgo, but with Venus retrograde in recent weeks, you may have been harder on yourself than is good for you, particularly about the past or matters that you’ve kept to yourself. Now that Venus is moving direct, there’s more balance in this sector, and you’re more inclined to deal with the past and with matters of karma and guilt in a healthier way. Commit to forgiving yourself and taking a more creative and relaxed approach to your life. While a part of you is inclined to want to avoid the real world or escape attention, the Sun in your sign keeps you visible. Pay attention to dreams and daydreams today and tomorrow, as your intuition is trying to tell you something important. However, don’t dwell on guilt or fear.

Libra

Venus and Mars have been traveling through your friendship and group sector recently, dear Libra, but with Venus retrograde here in the past weeks, your approach to others may have been a little harder or less effective than it is now and in the coming weeks. You are now better able to combine charm and assertiveness with others, improving relationships and projects. Today is good for organizing projects and feeling stronger about the future. Later today, watch that inner restlessness doesn’t lead you to overindulge, which can bring upon sluggishness and possibly guilt. If you don’t feel ready to make a decision, you’re probably right to sit on the fence for a while longer.

Scorpio

The Moon in your adventure and learning sector and in harmony to your sign all day feels supportive, dear Scorpio, and you might find it easier than usual to find suitable channels for expressing your emotions. With Venus and Mars in your reputation and responsibility sector in the past weeks, there may have been a lot of energy and desire to perform and achieve. However, your approach to work, business, and others on a professional or public level has not been as warm or charming as it could be while Venus was retrograde. Now that Venus is direct, your approach is more balanced and exceptionally effective. Solutions to practical problems may be totally wild and impractical right now, and yet they seem to work.

Sagittarius

With Venus now direct and spending time in your adventure sector along with Mars, dear Sagittarius, inhibitions are released and you’re more able to go after what you want without too much in the way of obstacles or resistance. Competitive activities tend to fare well for you. It’s also a good time for making friends from many different corners of the world. Later today, try not to stress over actions (or inaction) by those close to you. Recognize that your emotional needs for support are stronger than usual, and not everyone is in sync with this energy. Even so, spirits should be running quite high now as Jupiter, your ruler, forms a parallel aspect with Venus. You’re also coming across very well professionally or with the public.

Capricorn

With Mars and retrograde Venus in your intimacy sector in recent times, dear Capricorn, there may have been times when you’ve been hard on yourself or an intimate partner, or you could have faced some coolness from people in your personal life. However, now that Venus is direct in this sector, there is more warmth and forgiveness, and possibly some grace as well, in the mix. This can bring very creative and exciting energy to your inner and/or intimate world. Today and tomorrow are especially strong for this. The pace seems to set itself and pressures ease. Relationships are in strong focus now.

Aquarius

In recent weeks, you’ve had Venus and then Mars visiting your partnership sector, dear Aquarius, and this will continue for a while longer. However, Venus has been retrograde recently and now is direct, and this brings greater balance to your relationships with others, and in some way, with yourself. While there may have been a harsh or impatient quality to partnerships recently, now you’re interacting in more creative and warm or spontaneous ways. While conflicts may be quick to flare up, resolutions tend to be speedy as well. Continue to be a little cautious with money until you are seeing things more clearly.

Pisces

Today and tomorrow are strong for developing skills and taking care of little problems, dear Pisces. Today, it’s more about focus and strategy, while tomorrow, it’s about innovative thinking and methods. With Venus now direct and continuing to travel in your work and health sector along with Mars, relationships at the office or in your daily routines can improve considerably. In fact, they may be sizzling for some of you. As well, there is more charm and a balanced approach to your daily life and interactions. You’re less likely to feel impatient with others’ methods or their interference, and more able to work as a team or cooperatively to get things done.

If You Were Born Today, September 6

You have a love-hate relationship with routine! While you crave the security that comes with it, you also enjoy some level of unpredictability and excitement. You love to keep active and you are energetic, sometimes restless. You have quick reflexes and strong instincts. At your worst, you are impatient, impulsive, and restless to the point of never seeming satisfied. At your best, your imagination is excellent, you have good people skills, and your insatiable curiosity makes you extremely interesting to know, as your ideas are always unusual. Your talents are many and varied. You are exceptionally adaptable. You need a certain sense of freedom of movement in order to be happy, yet you also yearn for stability and security. You are attracted to mentally stimulating and interesting people –those you remain youthful in spirit throughout life. You are romantic and fun to be around in partnership, but you need to know that a relationship furthers your own personal growth in order to stay satisfied. Famous people born today: Jane Addams, Roger Waters, Jane Curtin, Rosie Perez, Idris Elba, Naomie Harris.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 6th

Aries

People tend to be stuck in their own issues right now as Venus changes gears today, dear Aries. Venus turning direct this morning marks the beginning of the end of ambiguous relations and feelings, but during the shift, it can be very difficult to read others’ signals. Today and in the coming weeks, you’ll gain some clarity in partnership, love relationships, matters surrounding children, creative projects, and personal finances. A creative project that has been in the works but delayed will move forward for some of you. As these areas of life clear up, you gain more confidence about where you stand, how you feel, who and what you value, and what brings satisfaction to your life. There are some details about the past that need clearing up, and this is likely to happen naturally and gradually over the coming month, but focus is now on moving ahead with more confidence.

Taurus

With your ruler, Venus, turning direct this morning after a six-week retrograde cycle, dear Taurus, you’re likely to begin feeling more clear-headed and decisive in the days ahead. With its station today, however, there can be some ambiguity, particularly when it comes to boundaries in relationships and perception of value. You may be over- or under-valuing a person, thing, or situation just for now. In the coming weeks, you’re more likely to know what’s most important to you, who and what you value, and where you stand on a family or home issue that had been left hanging or delayed. You will be regaining your confidence and relationships get back on track. You are less likely to be looking behind you and more likely looking ahead.

Gemini

In many ways, the day can feel a little confusing and signals may be crossing, dear Gemini. This is largely due to Venus’ station as it shifts gears from retrograde to direct. Changes are in the works, and they’re very positive ones, but the shift itself can blur perceptions. Over the coming weeks you’ll find more satisfaction in your work or a project, communications, or transportation matter that’s been delayed resumes and straightens out. Some communication mix-ups or computer problems can come to resolution as well, although Mercury’s retrograde beginning the 17th could bring other delays. Romantic and creative matters can move forward and feel lighter or more satisfying. The focus is less on the past and more about where you’re headed.

Cancer

After six weeks of retrograde motion, Venus turns direct today, dear Cancer. Financial problems, delayed income or projects, and confusion over property can clear themselves up in the coming days and weeks. A home or family matter reaches a turning point for some of you. Relationships tend to be more predictable. Even so, the change itself can intensify problems temporarily, or at least we perceive things in this vein, and relationships can be tricky. It’s better to avoid making big purchases or depending on verbal agreements about money. The Moon moves out of your privacy sector and into your sign this afternoon, and emotions color many of your choices.

Leo

Venus has spent the last six weeks in retrograde motion, and the last five weeks retrograde in your sign, dear Leo. This morning, Venus turns direct and in the coming month will move over the same degrees it did while retrograde, offering you second chances and new perspectives. Personal matters that have challenged you in recent weeks may resolve themselves, and stuck areas of your life can unclog and move forward. You can become clearer about which projects you should advance and which may have run their course. Misunderstandings or complicated relationship matters may also clear up, and you have a better understanding of what and who you want. Even so, confusion is likely as the shift happens today. Avoid making or breaking commitments until the fog clears.

Virgo

With Venus turning direct today, dear Virgo, complicated relationships or feelings may begin to make sense and the road ahead seems to be a little more certain. In the coming weeks, educational or travel plans become clearer and financial delays or issues sort themselves out. Matters that have left you on the fence or that seem stalled or stuck begin to iron out and are nudged forward. A decision about a matter of the past now may seem easier to make or it may even become a moot point. Feelings of being stuck in the past or hung up on a matter or relationship that is no longer viable might resolve. For now, however, there can be some confusion as the shift happens, as with all stations, whether it’s a shift to retrograde or direct. Save very important decisions for a clearer time.

Libra

Venus has been retrograde for the last six weeks, dear Libra, and today begins to move forward. As your natural ruler, you may have felt to be in limbo at times during the retrograde, and perhaps a little misunderstood. Changes are in the air, and they are positive ones, but your perceptions are unclear as the shift occurs, so take your time before coming to any concrete conclusions. With an upcoming retrograde of Mercury in your sign beginning on the 17th, you’ll be doing more review and reflection. However, in the coming weeks, emotional entanglements or complicated friendships are likely to begin to clear up. There can be significant improvements or clarity in relationships, both platonic and romantic.

Scorpio

Venus ends its six-week retrograde period this morning and begins moving direct, dear Scorpio, which can slowly bring more clarity and spontaneity to your relationships and career or public image. However, on the days of and surrounding stations, like today, there can be some confusion or disorientation, making it especially important to avoid making sweeping (especially public) statements or life-changing decisions. Keep a low profile. Boundaries in relationships and perception of value can be confused now. In the coming weeks, you’ll be enjoying more clarity in a partnership, to a partner’s frame of mind, in your reputation, with career, and to your faith in your own powers of perception. People you work with or for tend to be more amenable and warmer. Love relationships are on the mend. The tendency to look back instead of forward is leaving you. Nevertheless, as Venus retraces its steps in the coming weeks, you might be sorting through recent events and coming to more definite conclusions about them.

Sagittarius

This morning, Venus ends its six-week retrograde cycle and turns direct, dear Sagittarius. Slowly but surely in the coming weeks, there is likely to be more clarity in your life, particularly related to friends, relationships with co-workers, pleasure through travel, and education. Friendships can get back on track, and so can long-term plans. However, for now, important conversations, meetings, or connections are best left for another day when things are steadier. Take your time when it comes to forming and voicing your stronger opinions, as well as with affairs of the heart. As well today, the need to tune out distractions so that you can get something important to you done can become obvious. You can bring something especially creative to work or practical affairs now.

Capricorn

Venus shifts gears this morning, dear Capricorn, ending a six-week retrograde cycle. The shift itself can distort perceptions, but in the coming weeks, more clarity is coming to personal relationships, money, and career matters. Love relationships grow warmer or affection is more explicit, so that the signals you’re reading are sounding loud and clear. A new feeling of clarity and forward motion will come to your love life and financial status. If you’ve been procrastinating on settling your finances, you’ll be more inclined to tackle them. Today may still involve some fog or uncertainty. Take your time drawing conclusions. Watch for excesses and wait for a clearer time to make big decisions.

Aquarius

There can be some ambiguity in your relationships today, dear Aquarius, with Venus stationing. However, as Venus is now turning direct after a six-week retrograde cycle, what you want will become progressively clearer as you move forward. This is especially the case in a partnership with Venus spending most of its retrograde in your partnership sector, but you are also likely to see improvements in your general mood and family or home life. Home projects move forward. Stalling on making a commitment may end.There can be some clogging in the airwaves just for now, so it’s best to save very important decision making for another day. Otherwise, there is good energy for creative activities, especially writing. Research can uncover important and helpful information.

Pisces

Today’s interactions can be a little confusing, dear Pisces, as boundaries seem to be blurred, particularly with co-workers and friends. Try not to make (or break) any commitments that you might later regret, as things are not especially clear at the moment. However, with Venus direct and as it gains speed over the coming days and weeks, love and pleasure become more straightforward. You’ll find it easier to increase intimacy in a relationship than it has been recently. Financial matters that have been confused of late (particularly regarding boundaries and responsibilities with shared or joint money and possessions) begin to tidy up. If you’ve been questioning how satisfied you are with your daily life or work in the past weeks, you’ll begin to see solutions going forward.

September 2015 Energy Forecast: Choose Your Own Adventure

a message from Lee Harris

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.

The Moon today is in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon.

This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

The Witches Magick for the Sixth Day of the Barley Moon – Barley Moon Healing Talisman

Barley Moon Healing Talisman

The idea in this spell is to program your crystal with healing powers.

You will need a pen, a piece of paper, two green candles, and a clear quartz crystal.

After dark, write down on the piece of paper what ailment you want to heal. Draw a circle of light, and call in the elements. Light the two candles and dedicate them to the Goddess and God:

Goddess and God of healing,

Please bless my circle with your

healing light.

Using your breath, clear the crystal of its energy field. Now, program the crystal for healing by holding it in your power hand and gazing deep within the lattice structure of the crystal. Envision a green healing color filling the crystal from the inside out until the whole thing shines brightly with a healing energy that travels from the crystal to your body. Sense the healing energy as it energizes the area of your body that needs healing.

Burn the piece of paper, thus releasing yourself from the disease. Keep the talisman with you during the rest of the Barley Moon cycle, letting its healing energy keep you free from any illnesses that may come lurking. When you are done, bid farewell to the elements and pull up the circle. Allow the candles to safely burn down.

WOTC Extra – Coven Practice

Coven Practice

Originating from the Latin word coventus, which means agreement or assembly, the term coven first came about during the 1500s in Scotland. The term at the time stood for a local group of witches or meeting of witches. Yet, people did not use the word often until witchcraft became more popular and public in the modern era.

A traditional coven is usually composed of thirteen members, each representing the thirteen lunar months of a year. Given that witchcraft and Wicca are associated with the moon and its femininity, the number symbolizes the lunar calendar and represents wholeness.

However, today, some groups prefer to have fewer or more members. Covens who choose to have fewer members believe that a small group encourages more intimacy among members and less likely to become a pack of disciples that is led by a guru.

The principles of Witchcraft and Wicca alone can be very appealing to individuals who abhor rigid dogma and hierarchy. As such, people who decide to join a coven were brought up to discern and follow their own truth.

If you are a beginner in Witchcraft and Wicca, you can be deluged by the propositions that covens offer. For instance, members of a coven can guide you throughout your learning years of witchcraft. They usually boast of providing beginners the chance to learn various skills on all levels. A coven also provides the feeling of a community who are able to celebrate significant events and occasions. Furthermore, just like a community, a coven can provide you with acceptance, safety, and the feeling of being valued.

On the other hand, not all covens are in harmony for the rest of their existence. Given that a coven has 13 or more members, the chances of conflicts in ideas, objectives, and opinions are high. In fact, some covens break apart while working through problems and even trivial issues.

Deciding to be a member of a coven will entail responsibilities, which include your devotion for the coven to stay united as well as the need for tolerance, cooperation and respect for each member and for the coven as a whole.

Let’s Talk Witch – Solitary Practice

Solitary Practice

Some witches prefer to practice alone instead of being with a group of witches. This could be because the solitary practice is more suitable to their knowledge, experience, lifestyle, purposes, and temperament. However, even if these witches practice witchcraft alone, they can still join covens if only for the purpose of celebrating Sabbaths or other occasions. Some witches, on the other hand, may start practicing alone for a certain period of time and then later join a coven.

More often than not, it can be easy to choose the path of solitary practice especially if one is a seasoned witch. However, if you are a beginner, you may find it lonesome to practice alone. In addition, you need to put extra effort into practicing witchcraft properly if you are alone given that nobody will guide you on what you should do.

Conversely, solitary practice allows you to discover and hone your own witchcraft style instead of adopting the ideology of an established coven. Solitary witches follow some guidelines, which can help them in practicing successfully and safely. These guidelines are also applicable for beginners in the Wiccan way.

When you are practicing witchcraft alone, you may need to gather different resources in order to acquire insights as well as perspectives that may help you learn and become proficient. Resources include books, articles, and other forms of reference. However, it is not enough that you merely study about witchcraft. You need to apply what you learn. As such, it is advisable to set a schedule, which can make witchcraft a part of your daily routine. You have to practice regularly in order to develop your skills.

Solitary practice involves regular meditation for improving your adherence to your higher self and enhancing your mental focus. You can also start with simple spells and rituals until such time that you think you are ready for more complex ones. It is also advisable to keep a manual or diary of your work and experiences so you have something to refer to in the future.

Once you have spent time acquiring the knowledge you need to learn and to practice witchcraft alone, you will have a more accurate idea of the types of magic or skills that appeal to you and suit you the most.
