Planetary Nebula Abell 7

Image Credit & Copyright: Donald Waid, Ron Dilulio

Explanation: Very faint planetary nebula Abell 7 is some 1,800 light-years distant, just south of Orion in planet Earth’s skies in the constellation Lepus, The Hare. Surrounded by Milky Way stars and near the line-of-sight to distant background galaxies, its generally simple spherical shape, about 8 light-years in diameter, is outlined in this deep telescopic image. Within its confines are beautiful, more complex details enhanced by the use of narrowband filters. Emission from hydrogen is shown in reddish hues with oxygen emission mapped to green and blue colors, giving Abell 7 a natural appearance that would otherwise be much too faint to be appreciated by eye. A planetary nebula represents a very brief final phase in stellar evolution that our own Sun will experience 5 billion years hence, as the nebula’s central, once sun-like star shrugs off its outer layers. Abell 7 itself is estimated to be 20,000 years old. Its central star is seen here as a fading white dwarf some 10 billion years old.

Today’s Word is

Namby-pamby

Brought to you by wordoftheday.net

Namby-pamby / adjective / nam·by-pam·by

Namby-pamby is the word we use to describe people believed to be lacking in strength or courage. We see someone described as “namby-pamby” as feeble or spineless in response to situations that call for a stronger behavior response.

People often associate the word “namby-pamby” with a male who is behaving in an “effeminate” fashion. Being called a “namby-pamby” is not a compliment. It is a sign that whomever is doing the name-calling lacks respect for the person who is the subject of their verbal attacks.

Etymology

The English word namby-pamby entered language in the mid-1700s around 1745. We derived it from early Ambrose and adopted it into popular use in the mid-18th century. Etymologists say the word was initially used to describe the characteristics of an English writer ridiculed by the public and leading officials of the time. We use namby-pamby as both an adjective and a noun with its original meaning.

In a Sentence

The namby-pamby just stood by and watched while his family was in danger.

The employees all secretly called their boss a namby-pamby behind his back.

Stop acting like such a namby-pamby and step up to the plate!

Synonym

Effeminate, Spineless

Antonym

Backboned, Strong

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

May 20, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 8 AM to 9 AM EDT today (5 AM to 6 AM PDT)). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Get ready because the pace of your days will accelerate for the next four weeks. Fear not because it will be a fun busy. Expect a jampacked schedule of short trips, appointments, and increased reading, writing and studying. Busy you!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will have an increasing desire to gain better control of your life through the things that you own. In the next four weeks, you will look at your possessions and ask do you own them or do they own you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Once a year the Sun is in your sign for four weeks and that day has arrived. This means you will restore and replenish yourself. Furthermore, you will attract favourable situations and important people to you. Obviously, this is a blessing.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, you will be happier taking a backseat or working alone. Your need for privacy and solitude will be stronger. You want this private time to get to know yourself better. Time for dark chocolate.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your involvement with others will increase in the next four weeks because you want to see people. You want to get in touch with friends; in addition to which many of you will be more involved in groups and organizations. It’s just what’s happening. Enjoy this increased popularity!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Sun will be travelling across the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This symbolizes that you will be thrust in a flattering spotlight! This means that people will admire you even if you don’t do anything different or anything special. Obviously, this is the time to make your pitch and go after what you want!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will have a stronger than usual desire to travel and expand your world by any means in the next four weeks. Therefore, give yourself a chance to explore! Take a course. Travel if possible. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Learn new things and meet unusual people.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You want to tidy up loose ends in the next four weeks, especially with paperwork and issues related to wills, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Sometimes we try to ignore these things. However, you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in. Bravo!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The Sun will be sitting across from your sign for the next four weeks, which will draw your attention to your closest friends and partners. Not only will this be a strong focus for you, this polarized position of the Sun will give you greater objectivity to see how you relate to others. A valuable learning curve!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will accomplish a lot in the next four weeks because you will be motivated to work efficiently and effectively so that you get the best results for your efforts. These high standards might translate as well into your health, which means you might be on a health kick as well!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Lucky you! The next four weeks will be playful, lighthearted and fun-loving. Take a vacation if you can. Enjoy fun activities with children. Explore the theatre and the arts. Embrace sports activities, as well as romantic tete-a-tetes. (Be still my beating heart.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Home and family will be your strong focus in the next four weeks. Some of you will be involved with a parent more than usual. This is a good time to do some self-scrutiny and perhaps benefit from counselling.

Spell for Today – Contact Your Spirit Guide

Items needed:

Altar Candle

Day candle (whichever color for the day you be will doing your spell)
(Monday-white Tuesday-red Wednesday-purple Thursday-blue Friday-green Saturday-black Sunday-yellow)

Offertory Candles – 3 Violet candles, 3 White candles

Tools: Athame, Exacto Knife, or needle to inscribe candles

Props: Crystal ball or clear glass of water

Incense: anise, cardamon, and coriander

Oil: jasmine, lemon, rose, and sandalwood

Bathing Herbs

Cinnamon, frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood

Timing:

Best done during the Mercury hour of the day, although any hour should work. Any moon phase is appropriate.

Preparation:

Breathe deeply and build a ball of protective light around you. While soaking in your ritual bath, meditate on the whole ritual: the steps you will take and what you wish to say to your spirit guide when you make contact.

Ritual:

Enter the circle in the Hour of Mercury. Light the incense. With the oil, dress the Altar Candle and the Day Candle while concentrating on the purpose of the ritual. Light your Altar candle and your Day candle and state your intent:

“I am here to make contact with my Spirit Guide, and to acknowledge him or her”

With your Athame, inscribe Violet Candle #1 with the word “Spirit”. Dress it with oil.
Light the Violet candle #1, direct your energies into it, and say:

“Here do I light the first Lamp of Spirit. May its light reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with that World of Spirit into which we will eventually enter”

Take your censer or incense wand and swing in around censing the whole area around the altar, while rhythmically repeating the word “Merge” and building up energy to focus.

Replace the censer and pick up Violet candle #2. Inscribe it with the word “Spirit” and dress it with the oil. Put it back on the altar, light it, direct your energy into it, and say:

“Here do I light the second Lamp of Spirit. May it’s light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with that World of Spirit and help spread the light, illuminating the passageway between our worlds.”

Again, take the censer or incense wand and cense the entire area around the altar while chanting the word “Merge” Build up your energy to focus. Take violet candle #3, inscribe with the word “Spirit”, dress with oil, charge with your energy, light it and say:

“Here do I light the third Lamp of Spirit.
May its light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May the light from these three lamps blend and grow, dispelling all darkness and lighting the way that my Spirit Guide may come to me and speak with me here today.”

Inscribe the 3 white candles with the word “Truth” and anoint each candle with oil. Light the 3 white candles in order of 1, 2, 3, and say:

“Here do I build Truth. As these candles burn throughout this ritual, their power generates nothing but truth in all that transpires between this world and the next. Through these candles there is truth in all communications that come to me”.

Again, cense the entire altar area while chanting the word “Merge”.

Replace the censer and continue chanting. Sit comfortably while chanting, and gaze into the crystal ball, or the clear glass of water. Continue chanting until you feel it is right to let the chant taper off. Continue to quietly look into the crystal ball or glass, not trying to picture anything. Keep your mind blank, so whatever comes will appear will come in it’s own free will. Gaze into the center of the crystal, there is no need to try not to blink. Look into the crystal and blink naturally. Try not to notice anything in your peripheral vision, just the center of the crystal. Eventually a face or figure will appear. This may take a long time, or it may appear almost immediately. If it doesn’t come at all within approximately 20 minutes, abandon this attempt, extinguish the candles in the order in which they were lit, leave the altar set up, and try this ritual again in three days. You should have results within a month at most.

When a figure does appear, ask if he/she is your Spirit Guide. You will hear an answer. You may not hear it out loud, or even see the figures lips move, but you will be aware of the answer. This is how most of your conversation will proceed. You will ask your questions mentally (or out loud) and the answers will be clear inside your mind.

Ask if you have more than one spirit guide. If yes, ask them to appear also. You may ask anything you wish to know, but it is suggested to establish a connection first where your Spirit Guide may appear to you at any time, or at specific times, so that you can converse with other spirits through him/her. When you have finished speaking with your Guide, thank him/her, then sit for a moment with your eyes closed, meditating on all that you have learned. Extinguish the candles in reverse order to clear the circle.

Extending into space, the planet’s dark umbral shadow covered the Moon on that date. From that location the total phase of a lunar eclipse had begun before moonset. Still in sunlight though, the International Space Station crossed from the western horizon and Earth’s largest artificial moon traced the bright flat arc through the sky over 400 km above. Simply constructed, the well-planned panoramic scene was captured over a 5 minutes in a series of consecutive images.

Hygge / noun/ hyoo·guh

Danish speakers use the word “hygge” to represent a relaxed, laid-back, and comfortable vibe created by enjoying the simpler things in life. We use hygge to represent the feeling invoked by engaging in simple activities that relieve stress and provide opportunities for having pleasing conversations and making genuine connections with others. Hygge relates to comfort, well-being, coziness, and contentment, with a warm atmosphere filled with pleasant people.

In a Sentence

Denmark is famous for spreading the love and hygge for visitors and countrymen.

Etymology

Although we most recognize “hygge” in the Danish language, the word actually entered the language as Norwegian. “Hygge” entered the language carrying the same meaning as ‘well-being.’ Danish adopted the word into their language system around the end of the 18th century. They’ve been using “hygge” to represent contentment, well-being, and the best of Denmark for residents and tourists since the late 1800s.

May 19, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Move forward with confidence when dealing with financial matters today. These could relate to current earnings, or potential future earnings; but ideally, it will be matters that you have already set in motion. Trust your “big” ideas! You’re on a roll!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun in your sign is dancing with big daddy Pluto, which gives you a powerful energy to look around you and decide what needs to be changed or improved. Do you need to introduce reforms into your daily world? You can make these changes rather easily now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your ruler Mercury is retrograde, and dancing with lucky Jupiter, which means you have lots of optimistic, hopeful energy to finish projects that you have already started. Your hopes and wishes are more important to you today. Write down your plans for the future. Get a bead on where you’re headed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will find that you will express yourself more forcefully talking to friends and members of groups today. Because you can do this so easily, you will make a strong impression on someone! (If you see the hair blowing back over their ears, take it easy.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A discussion with a parent or boss will be intense and powerful today. Be careful you don’t cross a line and threaten them in any way because you will be forceful. You want to get things done and you want to move quickly! Nevertheless, remember that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to avoid subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because these will be buttons that could trigger arguments with others. This is because you are coming on like gangbusters, even if you don’t realize it. Note: Someone else might come on just as strong! This is a recipe for a fight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You can see how to improve a financial arrangement with someone today. It might be about reducing debt or dealing with taxes and insurance issues. It might be a better arrangement on how to deal with shared property? One thing is certain: You’ll have no trouble making your case.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might attract someone to you who is very powerful. (“Hi Darth.”) Nevertheless, you will also be powerful — so express yourself with care and good judgment. This is an excellent day to join forces with someone to investigate something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you’re gung-ho to introduce reforms so that you can improve your health. Meanwhile, some of you will use this same energy to introduce reforms to your job or how you do your work. The bottom line is you intend to make things better!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whether you are in sports or the arts or music, be aware that today is an excellent day to practice something. That’s because you will get way more results for your efforts than you usually would. Practice dance, arpeggios, catching a ball, batting, martial arts – whatever.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will see ways to introduce improvements to where you live today, especially in areas related to plumbing, bathrooms, garbage and recycling. Meanwhile, in a family discussion, a secret might come out. Or you might suspect that a secret exists.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are super convincing today when talking to others, which makes this a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting as well as writing. Personally, you might want to determine what motivates you? What changes do you need to make?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Polly Walker (1966) shares your birthday today. You have a calm, detached even regal style. This can make you convincing when talking to others. Personally, you are focused and determined. This year you have a stronger zest for life, which is why you will enjoy socializing and reaching out to others. Let your hair down and have fun!

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence Digest for Thursday

From GypsyWolf.weebly.com

Thursday is the fifth day of the week.   In the Norse languages this day is called Torsdag, honoring Thor, the god of strength, fertility, thunder, the protector and defender in war, and son of Odin.  Thor is the counterpart of Zeus (Greek), and Jupiter or Jove (Roman).  Thor, the most beloved of the great gods of northern mythology, is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven across the rainbow bridge, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight.  It was said that whenever his hammer Mjollnir, was thrown, it would produce a thunderbolt and when struck against stone, it would create lightning.

Thursday

Latin: Dies Jovis (“Jove’s Day”), after Jove or Jupiter, the almighty Roman God.
French: jeudi
Italian: giovedi
Spanish: el jueves
German: Donnerstag
Dutch: donderdag

Rules: Expansion, wealth, prosperity, political power, legal matters, spirituality, meditation.
Colors: Purple, Deep Blue
Planet: Jupiter
Metal: Tin, associated with the thunderbolt of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek myth)
Stones: Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite
Herbs: Anise, Cinquefoil, Clove, Honeysuckle, Hyssop, Maple, Nutmeg, Oakmoss, Sage, Sarsaparilla, Sassafras, Star Anise
Zodiac: Sagittarius

Spell for Today – Juno’s Prosperity Elemental Ritual

 

Juno’s Prosperity Elemental Ritual

 

calls for some natural magick supplies. Try working with affordable tumbled malachite stones. As for the wheat stalks, look at the dried flowers and fillers in the arts and crafts shops. Ditto for the feather, or peruse a fly-tying store; you can usually pick up a package of feathers for a few bucks. As to the green seven-day candle, if you look around, you can find green jar candles. I actually found some at the grocery store for a dollar apiece. They were in the ethnic food aisle and were called novena candles. I simply peeled the saint sticker off of it, and abracadabra! An instant seven-day candle for my witchery.

As mentioned before, all of these magickal supplies listed below correspond with the goddess Juno in two of her prosperity-drawing aspects, Juno Augusta (the harvest mother) and Juno Moneta (patron of the Roman mint).

1 malachite stone (to represent the earth element)

A few peacock feathers (to represent the element of air)

3 small stalks dried wheat

1 green seven-day jar candle for prosperity

3 drops honeysuckle, peppermint, or clove oil (all of these oils encourage prosperity)

A clean dropper (to add the oil to the candle)

A long, thin screwdriver (to put holes in the candle)

A dollar bill or coin

Matches or a lighter

A safe, flat surface on which to set up the spell

Carefully and slowly push the screwdriver straight down into the wax. Now pull it straight back up. Add two more holes for the essential oil. Now set the screwdriver aside; using the dropper, squirt a few drops of honeysuckle oil down into those channel that you just created.

Next, hold the green jar candle in your hands and transfer a little of your personal power and desire for prosperity into the candle. Then place the candle on your work area on top of the currency. Arrange the stone, wheat stalks, and feathers to your liking. Make your work area pretty, and enjoy the process. While you are doing so, you may chant the following (the chanting will help you raise some energy too):

By the power of three times three
Bring prosperity now to me!

When you feel that you are ready, light the candle and repeat the following verse three times:

Juno Moneta, Roman goddess of prosperity
Lend your power to this elemental spell that I weave
Juno Augusta, mother of the harvest, hear my plea
These three golden stalks of wheat are a gift to you from me
A peacock feather for air, and a malachite for earth
Lady, bless me with success, abundance, and rebirth
For the good of all, with harm to none
In Juno’s name, this spell has begun!

Allow the candle to burn until it goes out on its own. It will probably take five to seven days for the jar candle to burn out. When I burn seven-day candles, I tuck them inside of my large cast-iron cauldron, then I place the spell components around the outside of the jar. That way, the candle can continue to safely burn, and even if it gets knocked over, everything stays contained inside of the fireproof cauldron.

Once the jar candle is finished, pocket the malachite stone and the bill or coin. Keep the money with you, tucked in your wallet or in your pocket. Tie up the feathers somewhere where prominent where you will see them every day, like the rearview mirror of your car, your dresser mirror, or a chest of drawers’ handle. Every time you see the feather, tell Juno thank you. Take the dried wheat and crumble the pieces apart. Sprinkle the seeds outside as an offering for Juno. Abundance and prosperity will find their way to you soon.

Please note: If you cannot leave the ritual candle safely burning then snuff it out when you leave and relight it as soon as you are home. It may take a few days longer, but the magick will still turn out, especially since you are taking the time and energy to tend the ritual candle so carefully. As you relight the candle, say:
As this ritual candle relights, so does my magick one more ignite.

Enjoy your ritual work, and may prosperity come to you in the best possible way!
