Current Moon Phase

 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 2020

Today the Moon will be in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Information About January 1, 2020 Some Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Posts

Welcome to 2020!!! WOTC sure had its ups and downs through 2019, With Lady Abyss retiring from here and then not even a month later she goes to the Summerlands. The website passing into my hands to carry on a mission the Goddess gave to Lady Abyss of educating society on what witchcraft, pagans, and withes real are. As well as sharing many things with new and established witches they may not have know about other wise, Her guidance and mentoring to many of us is not something we will get over quickly, or at least I won’t.

I again want to thank all of the donors, those that prayed to the Goddess and lit candles or whatever to save Lady A’s legacy that I have found my shoulders need to be wider to bear the extra weight of running WOTC without Lady A to call for advice.

2020 is going start off slow with the yearly information posts because I need to figure out what websites she used for them. Unfortunately I cannot post any horoscopes until the year changes in the northern and western hemispheres So all posts will be at least 1 day late for the southern hemisphere and parts of the eastern hemisphere. I will do my best on January 1st to get everything up but my youngest grandchild is coming to visit me tomorrow and as I tell Coven Life’s students family always comes first. I hoping to be able to some of them tonight after it is midnight where I live. Not sure what time zones different websites are in or if they schedule posts like we do sometimes.

I ask that you let us know what you kind of posts you want to see on WOTC in the comments section, all comments do get read even if I do not have time to reply, so we can start trying to information on the topic and get posts up about it. There will be more divination posts in 2020 but they will be done differently than you were use to see from Lady Abyss and her awesome team.

I am here to listen to you and help you if I can but I feel it is time for a reminder that we DO NOT DO SPELLS AND/OR RITUALS OF ANY KIND FOR ANYONE NO MATTER WHAT THE SPELL OR RITUAL MAY BE FOR. WE DO NOT SUPPLY ANY SPELLS AND/OR RITUALS PRIVATELY.  You are welcome to use any spells and/or rituals and/or information that is on our website. Please remember if you are going to use something from our website on your website to give us credit and do a link back to us. This is what we do when sharing from other websites.

HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!

Wishing You All a Joy Filled and Blessed 2020

To all of our Sisters, Brothers, Guests no matter which hemisphere you live in. From Lady Beltane and Elders of Witches of The Craft, Coven Life, and Heart’s Spirit Online we wish you and your family a happy, healthy, loving, and bountiful New Year.

White Buffalo Calf Woman

This is one of the deities I use. I find that she is very close to me. Please read about her and let me know what you think.

To the Native Americans the birth of a white buffalo is a symbol of rebirth and world harmony.

One summer, long ago, the seven sacred council fires of the Lakota Oyate, the nation, came together and camped. Every day they sent scouts to look for game, but the scouts found nothing, and the people were starving.

Among the bands assembled were the Itazipcho, the Without-Bows, who had their own camp circle under their chief, Standing Hollow Horn. Early one morning the chief sent two of his young men to hunt for game. They searched everywhere but could find nothing. Seeing a high hill, they decided to climb it in order to look over the whole country. Halfway up, they saw something coming toward them from far off, but the figure was floating instead of walking. From this they knew that the person was wakan, holy.

Death and Dying.

Article written by

I sat with the heading above for quite some time before I was prompted to start typing.
Tackling such a sensitive topic that is so broad, personal and at times fearful is not easy.

As a Death Doula…….

I have been exposed to a variety of situations, where the person is reaching or is about to reach their last breath.
Towards the end people and their loved ones deal with Death and Dying in so many different ways. Others are at peace, others in absolute shock and distress. For some the sudden shock of loss sends them in a state of panic, for others a state of relief and calm.
Some connect with their spiritual nature, others take up a spiritual nature and yet others abandon their spirituality all together.
I have however found one re-occurring pattern and that is, for those…

Weekly Horoscope December 29, 2019 to January 4, 2020

All Signs

Tuesday is New Year’s Eve, which is a tricky night because people have such high expectations. “I must look fantastic and have fun!” This year the Moon is in Pisces lined up with Neptune, which means there will be much weeping and crying. People will be sensitive, empathetic, and they’ll drink too much or overdo drugs. People will pick up on the moods of others or they might drift off into their own private world. It will be hard to express what you want to say. There will self-delusion! You get the picture. “Beam me up, Scotty.” Forewarned is forearmed. Happy New Year!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This year you make a fabulous impression on others because not only is it your time of harvest, but lucky Jupiter will be at the top of your chart, which gives your reputation a double boost! I kid you not. This is definitely your turn to put your name up in lights! By that, I’m referring to a time window of over a decade. Expect promotions, awards and the adulation of your peers. In addition, for the last six months of 2020, your ruler Mars will be in your sign boosting your energy making you super focused, supercharged and super persevering! Yes, you’re looking at a recipe for success! (Mom always liked you best.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Two areas in your life will get a huge boost in 2020. The first is anything to do with travel and dealing with foreign countries. Oh yes, you will have the best opportunities to travel in 2020 that you have had in over a decade! To say that you are going places is putting it mildly. However, some of you will use this influence in a different way because basically, this influence is all about expanding your experience of your world. Another way to do this is to get further learning and training. You might go back to school. You might sign up for courses. You might learn a new language. But you will expand your horizons! This is a given.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The year 2020 will be a better year for you financially speaking because you will get richer through the wealth and resources of others. You might inherit money or assets. Your partner might earn more, which indirectly benefits you. You might get money back from the government. You might be released from a debt. Whatever the case, you will feel richer in 2020 because of an external influence. You will also feel more passionate in your personal relationships. Oh yeah. In the last six months of the year, expect to be super active with friends and groups, probably in a competitive way. You might be in a club that is vying for a championship? (You love an adoring peanut gallery.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Things have been challenging for your closest relationships in the last year. You know it and I know it. The good news is this year there will be a softening of this tension because lucky Jupiter will join Saturn in your House of Partnerships. The squeeze play will still be there, but now there will be something more joyful and more expansive as well. Relations with partners will be more upbeat and fun! In fact, 2020 is the best year for your sign to get married in over a decade! Furthermore, after July 1, your ambition will be aroused as never before. Oh yeah, you’ll be PowerPoint on steroids! You will get what you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The good news for you in the year ahead is twofold: You will have a fantastic chance to improve your health. Perfect! “I want to be the best that I can be!” And secondly, you can improve your job or get a better job. Trust me. If you want to stay in your job, make an effort to get better duties or a better working station or be patient because your evil boss will be transferred to Timbuktu. However, if you want a new job, you couldn’t pick a better year to do this! This is your best chance in over a decade to create the kind of job that is rewarding and decent paying. Yes, it’s the kind of job you really want! Hope for the best!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are one of the luckier signs this year because 2020 is going to be all about parties, fun vacations, socializing and schmoozing with others, plus enjoying the arts and the entertainment world. Parents will find their relations with kids will be more rewarding. In fact, your kids will be a source of joy! You can look forward to one of the happiest years you’ve had in a long time. Admittedly, nothing is perfect. Disputes about inheritances, shared property or something that you own jointly with someone else will arise. But you can handle this. Your sex drive will also be pumped for the last six months of the year! (Would I kid you?)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have much to look forward to this year because more than any other sign, you are affected by your surroundings. Colours, lighting, smells – all these things affect your mood and your sense of happiness. The good news is that in the year ahead, you will create a more beautiful home for yourself! You will improve your home through renovations or redecorating. Or you might move to something bigger and better? Or perhaps to something smaller and better? Not only that, family relations will improve as well. Nevertheless, you will have to be patient with partners in the last six months of the year. (Nothing is perfect.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will be happier in 2020. It’s that simple. Your mind will be more positive and you will think like a winner. You will make better choices. You will expect more for yourself. You will be busier with short trips and schmoozing with daily contacts but it will be fun busy! Because our minds create our world – if you are happier – your world is happier. Capisce? It will be a powerful year for those who write, edit, sell, market, teach and act because your words will be winning! In addition, you will bust your buns at work in the last six months of the year just because you can. You wanted more?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

More than most signs, you look for get-rich-quick schemes. It’s in your nature. You’re an optimist and you like to think that something better is around the corner. And it generally is! (That’s because our mind creates our world.) The good news for you, dear Sagittarius, is that you are going to get richer in 2020. You will either earn more money or somehow receive money or inherit money. Whatever the source – the money will come! Naturally, you will party more and entertain the idea of an amazing vacation. (Who is surprised? You adore travel.) It’s a strong year as well for those of you in sports, especially competitive sports.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Ta da! Jupiter is in one sign every year. This means it takes 12 years to go through all the signs. In the year 2020, lucky Jupiter will be in your sign! This means all kinds of good things for you. But in a nutshell, it means it will be a fortunate year for you in personal terms. Your confidence will increase, yourself poise will increase. You will be happier – no question. You will dare to dream big, which is a bit unusual for you because you are careful and cautious. You will schmooze with people from all over the world. (Literally.) However, in the last six months of the year, your home scene will be chaotic and super busy. Fortunately, your positive, confident, happy state of mind will cope. Ya think?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In the year 2020, you have a strong feeling of having survived something. To be precise – the dark night of the soul. Some of these difficulties might linger into the beginning of the year but ultimately these challenges will be fading, fading, fading away. This is why you will feel internally grateful and quietly happier. It’s like you stopped banging your head against the wall. Many of you will explore inner disciplines related to yoga, meditation and the study of the mind. Your appreciation for life will increase, which means you will also appreciate the loved ones in your life. This is setting the stage for the fact that by the end of the year, lucky Jupiter will enter your sign for the first time in 12 years, ushering in a fantastic year in 2021!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are going to be so popular in the year ahead, it’s almost laughable. But to be truthful, it is not really laughable because although popularity is considered to be a wonderful thing, it’s not good to “lose yourself” to the demands of others. Therefore, your challenge will be to work smoothly with everyone else, and fill their needs and demands, and yet, at the same time, maintain your own independence and integrity. You can do this. Meanwhile, for the last six months of 2020, you will bust your buns to boost your income, which is a good thing because you will be spending money in a big way!

A search for the true inner Witch, Healer and Shaman.

hypatiaofalexandrea's avatarEnchanted Circle of Witches®

Written By Priestess Hypatia

For Coven Life

2018

I woke up this morning and decided to use my Masonic Tarot….

I have had these cards for a while, mainly learning to read them through deciphering their masonic symbols and meanings. They are in the style of the conventional Raider Wait tarot so following their general symbolism is somewhat achievable.
Today I pulled out the priestess card. Ow Yeah, who doesn’t want that card? But the more I looked into its meaning the more I realized it was what I was currently studying on my path. I have started to look deep within myself. Attempting to enter a place within the self that is not reserved for the faint hearted. A place where searching takes you into a vast space of nothingness that is often arid and hostile.

So why do so many of us searching to find our inner being…

What type of Witch are you?

Post published.View PostAdd titlePermalink:https://covenlife.co/2019/12/28/what-type-of-witch-are-you-2/‎(opens in a new tab)Edit

There are different types of witches so do you know which one you are? I feel its important to define what a “witch” is. To me, its somebody that practices witchcraft. With that being said, I don’t feel that you have to follow any certain religion to be a witch or practice witchcraft.

I will not go over all witch types here but the ones I feel is mostly used.

  1. Solitary Witch is someone who is not in a coven and practices rituals and spells alone. They either prefer not to join a coven or maybe its because they do not have one that resonates with them. They can use different paths and may or may not use witchcraft as part of their spiritual path.
  2. Traditional Witch is a someone who takes the historical route. They look at various ways such as witch trials, grimoires, historical accounts, and witch lore. This is how they lay their foundation for doing their spell work or rituals.
  3. Hereditary Witch is someone that is born into a family that practices witchcraft. Knowledge is passed down through generations and each one may practice in their own way.
  4. Eclectic Witch is someone who takes different ways from different witchcraft traditions, rituals, etc.
  5. Hedge Witch is someone that works with subtle spaces and the spirit world. A Hedge witch works with the liminal spaces and the spirit realm.
  6. Kitchen Witch is someone uses their home and surroundings as their sacred space. They focus on their food and cooking by putting energy into each meal. They may have their own herb garden.
  7. Green Witch is someone that are nature based. They are usually in-tune with each season and use natural material to create their own tools. They usually perform spell work or rituals outside.
  8. Cosmic Witch is someone that uses astrology in their witchcraft. They follow the alignment of the planets and usually they perform their spells and rituals  based on the position of the planets and moon.

Now, I will share what I do. I am Hereditary Witch, but I am also an Eclectic Witch and a Hedge Witch. I incorporate many different things, especially Native American.

I hope you enjoyed the post today…

Blessed be,

Melinda

Continuation of the story ….

I met my gf when she facebooked me and asked about the rumors of me being trans.  As we talked more and more she said she wouldnt mind dating a trans person if i was interested so we got to know one another and she invited me to Indy Pagan Day where her coven was putting on a ritual.  It sounded like a good time and I was exploring alternate religions so I went out and attended the event and also attended her ritual.  I enjoyed the pomp and circumstance of the ritual  coming from a Catholic background and it increased my interest in pagan holidays and esbats.  We talked later and I let her know I would be willing to attend another ritual as they did most of their rituals publicly if her.

The next open ritual that they had was Samain and I was hooked, we attended the ritual I enjoyed myself as far as the learning process went and enjoyed the other people in the group.  After this ritual though things started going south for me and the gf and we broke up right before Yule and because of this I only attended one ritual with her coven.  At the time I was hoping to continue the process with her coven but as the timed passed I saw that this was not going to be possible bc of the drama.

This caused me to explore other options for my spirituality and I found an on line coven to belong to for my education and a guild in a different city for my socialization.  I still do almost nothing witchy in Indy bc I do not want to run the chance of running into my ex gf.

I have written bf on the differences between a guild and a coven and would be more than willing to answer questions in either area.  I will also take question on my trans journey.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day, sun has come out here, and it is fairly warm for the end of december

A newbie witch explaining her path

Well everyone its Dawn of the day again, Last time we spoke we talked about the difference between a guild and a coven as I have belonged to both.  Today I thought I would take a different look and talk about some of my first steps on the path.

One of the reasons I was drawn to the pagan path in my early exploration was that I was not happy with the mainline religions and the discrimination they showed to the LGBT community.  I tried to live my life correctly by Christian standards for 45 years belonging to their religions, worshiping as they wanted, and even buying in that being trans was not wrong as long as I did not dress in the clothes that I found were most comfortable.

When i reached about 45 i started my “mid life crisis” where I wanted to start dressing more in the clothes that I found proper and was in such a place that I was willing to give up family, friends, social organizations, religion and even my job as a high school teacher.  The other choice for this though was death, I had already picked out the where and how I just had to decide the when.

About this time two things happened just about in unison, one was that I decided to go see a therapist to determine exactly what i was, within two appointments I was diagnosed as trans and told I could start hormone replacement as soon as i wanted.  The second was that I meet a witch and lover and with her help we started exploring the pagan/wiccan path.

Even though the relationship ended badly and I do not care to ever see her again she did show me a religion that was accepting of everyone and one that I did not have to pretend to be someone else for.  Through her guidance she put me on the first steps of my wiccan path which has increased my knowledge of the gods and and how to better work with the goddess as I move down my path of life.

 

More tomorrow
