Get outside and tip up your face to the sun. Take a walk outside, and soak up some sunshine! Acknowledge the power of Sunna or Helios as they blaze across the sky and bring courage and motivation into your life. Sit outside at sunrise on a Sunday morning and bask in its warm, rosy-golden glow Acknowledge Brigid as the inner, creative spark of imagination and inspiration. She can help these gifts burn brightly within your own soul. Use your imagination and create your own brand of witchery and magick. Here comes the sun, and it’s your turn to shine!

Ruler: Sun
Colors: Gold or yellow
Power Hours: Sunrise and sunset.
Key Words: Love, happiness, health, wealth
It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. Sunday is the day of the sun. Community work, volunteer services, exercise, outdoor sports, buying, selling, speculating, meeting people, anything involving groups, running fairs and raffles, growing crops and taking care of all health matters fall under the influence of the Sun. With all this activity and the brightness of the sun, it’s easy to see why the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Michael is the primary angel of Sunday but each hour of this day also has it’s secondary angel. These angels are Michael (first hour), Anael (second hour), Raphael (third hour), Gabril (fourth hour), Cassiel (fifth hour), Sachiel (sixth hour), Samael (seventh hour), Michael (eighth hour), Anael (ninth hour), Raphael (tenth hour), Gabriel (eleventh hour), and Cassiel twelfth hour). Notice some of the angels do double duty this day.
On Sundays, (unless you are invoking a specific angelic energy) the hour of sunrise will be the most powerful time to work, especially if you want to infuse energy into your work. Sunset is the second best time and is favored when you need to calm down a situation. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

In many traditions of Paganism, days of the week are very important aspects of effective spellcasting. For example, spells to do with abundance or prosperity could be done on Thursday, because it is associated with riches and desire. When casting a spell concerning business or communication, one might prefer to work on a Wednesday due to its associations.
While not all traditions follow this rule, when you’re doing any sort of magical working, always be sure to document the day of the week you’re performing the spell.
You might be surprised later on to see some connections!
Sunday is associated with the colors yellow and gold, which shouldn’t be surprising – it’s the day of the sun, right? Because of this planetary association, this is a day that’s also connected to solar deities like Helios and Ra. Interestingly, in some Celtic traditions, Brighid’s day is Sunday as well.
When it comes to crystal use, Sunday is related to quartz crystals and diamonds, as well as the yellowish hues of carnelian and amber. For herbs and plants in magical workings, use marigolds, sunflowers or cinnamon
.
What kind of magic is best performed on Sunday? Well, it’s a day that generally has a number of associations – agriculture, beauty, hope, victory, self-expression and creativity are all connected to this particular day. Plant or harvest something new (not just material crops, but metaphysical ones as well), create something from nothing, and prepare to win at everything.

HARA KE
Themes: Spring; Weather; Providence; Harvest; Growth
Symbols: Seeds; Soil; Rain Water; Dragon Images
About Hara Ke: An African goddess of sweet water (which also equates with the gentle spring rains) Hara Ke comes into our lives with spring with gentle, growth-inspiring refreshment. According to legend she lives under the river Niger with two dragons in attendance, caring for the souls who await rebirth, just as earth awaits its reawakening with spring.
To Do Today: People in Namibia pull out all their garden tools and seeds and bless them today before the sowing season starts.. This ensures a good harvest and plentiful rains, the water of Hara Ke’s spirit. If your garden or tinker with window pots, this tradition holds merit. Just sprinkle your tools with seeds with a little spring water or rainwater, then visualize the seeds being filled with pale green light (like new sprouts).
Alternatively, sprinkle open your own aura, first going counterclockwise to wash away residual sickness or tension, then going clockwise to invoke Hara Ke. As you sprinkle the water, say:
Hara Ke, renew in a me a sense of refreshed ability.
To my spirit, growth impart; make your home inmy heart.
If you’re pressed for time, you can recite this in your morning shower or while doing the laundry (during the rinse cycle). The latter allows you to figuratively don Hara Ke’s attributed with your clothing whenever you need them.

Traditionally, Sunday is the first day of the week. It is also known as the Lord’s Day from it original association with the Lord, that is, the Sun God, personified as Helios, Apollo, Ogmios, Mithras, and St. Elia. But in the Northern Tradition, the sun is seen as feminine, personified as the goddess known as Phoebe in East Anglia and Saule in eastern Europe. The sun rules the conscious element of the human being, the ego, the real self, and Sunday is the day on which this conscious power is at its most effective.

As March blows into our lives bringing spring and new beginnings, we look to the source of all life as our Goddess of the Month.
Over 6000 years ago, the known world had a different feel. There were no city fortresses, or war. Progress was centered around the development of art, crafts, and agriculture. Then, unlike today, the societies of the world were matriarchal. The sexes were equal but the role of mother and giver of life was unequaled by any task that men could do and so women were honored and their societies flourished.
Later, around 3,500 BCE, marauding bands of men began destabilizing these societies and subjugating women. Few were able to withstand the superior strength of the invaders. The Amazons, for example, were among the few surviving cultures. In subsequent years the temples, statues, art work, and beauty of those civilizations were lost and buried but not gone from our deepest unconscious. Modern archaeologists have found in certain places like Turkey, evidence of highly developed cultures. Unfortunately, an unbiased interpretation did not always find its way into history.
We are in essence a replication of each human that ever was born. Within ourselves we carry patterns and thoughts that connect us with the past. This term was called the collective unconscious by Carl Jung. While the mysteries of the Goddess have been buried, they have not died. The constant change of seasons and the rebirth of the land each spring tell us that our origin from a Great Mother is part of us all. Many myths tell of Her rise from Chaos to give birth to humanity.
There are many creation stories from cultures all around the world. The Goddesses will have different names that are familiar to each of us and so we celebrate not one but all of the women in history who represent the life force of the culture in which you belong. To honour Her, plant a seed and watch it grow. Tend it with loving care and watch its many faces throughout the year and remember the source of your life.
Some names of creation Goddesses; Mere Ama, Ishtar, Astarte, Demeter, Hera, Cybele, Gaia, Oya, Lillith, Sheila Na Gig, Cerridwen

I meant to do this yesterday but I took a nap at the computer. It was in preparation for losing an hour’s sleep today, lmao! Yeah sure! I feel like I owe all of you and the sites we sponsor an explanation about The Commentary Gazette. All of a sudden posts from this site start coming across here, which is something we never done before. We are pushing it harder than any of our other sites ever. Well the truth is, that site belongs to one of our husband’s. He did not want us to tell anyone that but…..we have other sites and other feelings to take into consideration. I have had several ask me what’s up with that? Well now you know!
He had recently retired and was bored silly. He had no interests except a lot of information in that little brain of his (which was going to waste). He would play computer games all day long. His wife got fed up and asked me if I would see if I could get him interested in blogging. I asked him to come up with a site title just in case he might ever want a blog. He gave me the name, I designed the site and the rest is history. Blogging has brought him back to life. He now enjoys it and doesn’t seem depressed anymore. Now you know why we are pushing The Gazette so hard. We want it to succeed so he will keep his interest in it. I don’t feel bad about pushing it because I could see a change in him, myself. So if this works and he rejoins life, excellent. He is a smart man and to see him waste away, I couldn’t stand it myself.
Now you know why we are pushing The Gazette. He has some excellent information in that brain of his and he occasionally makes some very informative commentary. So if you get a moment, hop over and check it out.
Thank you,

LIVIA:
Wife of G. Julius Caesar Octavianus
In the year 38 B.C. it suddenly became known at Rome that G. Julius Caesar Octavianus (afterward the Emperor Augustus), one of the triumvirs of the republic, and colleague of Mark Antony and Lepidus in the military dictatorship established after the death of Caesar, had sent up for decision to the pontifical college, the highest religious authority of the state, a curious question. It was this: Might a divorced woman who was expecting to become a mother contract a marriage with another man before the birth of her child? The pontifical college replied that if there still was doubt about the fact the new marriage would not be permissible; but if it was certain, there would be no impediment. A few days later, it was learned that Octavianus had divorced his wife Scribonia and had married Livia, a young woman of nineteen. Livia’s physical condition was precisely that concerning which the pontiffs had been asked to decide, and in order to enter into this marriage she had obtained a divorce from Tiberius Claudius Nero.

“Elidorus and the Fairies”.
“A short time before our days, a circumstance worthy of note occurred in these parts, which Elidorus, a priest, most strenuously affirmed had befallen to himself.
When a youth of twelve years, and learning his letters, since, as Solomon says, ‘The root of learning is bitter, although the fruit is sweet,’ in order to avoid the discipline and frequent stripes inflicted on him by his preceptor, he ran away and concealed himself under the hollow bank of the river. After fasting in that situation for two days, two little men of pigmy stature appeared to him, saying, ‘If you will come with us, we will lead you into a country full of delights and sports.’ Assenting and rising up, he followed his guides through a path, at first subterraneous and dark, into a most beautiful country, adorned with rivers and meadows, woods and plains, but obscure, and not illuminated with the full light of the sun. All the days were cloudy, and the nights extremely dark, on account of the absence of the moon and stars. The boy was brought before the King, and introduced to him in the presence of the court; who, having examined him for a long time, delivered him to his son, who was then a boy. These men were of the smallest stature, but very well proportioned in their make; they were all of a fair complexion, with luxuriant hair falling over their shoulders like that of women. They had horses and greyhounds adapted to their size. They neither ate flesh nor fish, but lived on milk diet, made up into messes with saffron. They never took an oath, for they detested nothing so much as lies. As often as they returned from our upper hemisphere, they reprobated our ambition, infidelities, and inconstancies; they had no form of public worship, being strict lovers and reverers, as it seemed, of truth.

The Wives of G. Julius Ceasar
Most everyone knows the history of the famous men of Rome, but do they even know the names of the women that were involved in their lives. The Great Ceasars of the Empire Era were not isolated from the normal pursuits of family and friends. Here is but a brief look in to their family and the why’s.
STAFF
A History: But when there broke out the revolution in which Marius placed himself at the head of the popular party, and the revolution was overcome by Sulla, the old aristocracy, which had conquered with Sulla, did not forgive the patrician family of the Julii for having connected itself with that bitter foe, who had made so much mischief. Consequently, during the period of the reaction, all its members were looked upon askance, and were suspected and persecuted, among them young Caesar, who was in no way responsible for the deeds of his uncle, since he was only a lad during the war between Sulla and Marius.
