August 19 Tarot Card, Rune, Witch’s Rune, Ogham Divination Journal

Tarot Card

From A Guide to the Celtic Dragon Tarot by D. J. Conway and Lisa Hunt Pages 124 to 125

6 of Cups – Minor Arcana

Reunions; unexpected gifts

A little boy and girl are smiling and hugging to large Water dragons, who rise out of a pond. The children symbolize the natural psychic connections all humans possess before they are taught such a thing is false. They are freely communicating with astral creatures because it is the normal thing to do. On the flower and tree-covered banks stand six chalices. The flowers and trees represent the constant renewal of life., fed by the waters of the lake (emotional purity and balance). Tiny dragons flutter happily around the children, symbols of the potential power of even the tiniest pieces of cosmic energy. The six chalices represent the power of building in all its connotations; building of relationships, healing power, and bridges between people and/or species. By acknowledging this power of building, we acknowledge the interconnectedness of all things, animate and inanimate.

Divinatory Meaning: A reunion with old friends may be near. New opportunities present themselves; be ready to act on them. Unexpected gifts may Suprise you.

Rune

From Galaxy Runes via my Kindle Fire

Sowilo

Keywords:

Success, wholeness, completion, victory, positive change

Interpretation:

This is the solar rune of power and life-giving force. It provides hope, guidance, counsel and promise fortune. Sunshine is the ultimate medicine, illuminating and clearing any darkness.

Witch’s Rune

From wizardforest.com – Witches Runes

MOON

Under moonlight everything is not that as it seems, that’s why be careful! Do not fall for first impression. Listen to yourself. It is important to make difference between truth and illusion. This rune symbolizes clairvoyance, psychic powers, and mysticism.

Key words: spirituality, intuition, femininity, illusion, subconsciousness, Moon cycle, self-analysis, long-term changes.

Sabbat: Yule (midwinter)

Element: Water

Chakra No.6: mind’s eye

 

Ogham

From thepeculiarbrunette.com – Ogham

Duir or Dair

Pronunciation – Doo-r

Tree Association – oak

Meaning – Strength, security, resilience, endurance, wisdom, sacred spaces, leadership, and kindness. All your hard work and education have paid off. Like the oak, you stand tall and mighty. You are in a beneficial situation (family, work, financially, creative, relationship, etc.), and this circumstance will stay that way for quite a while. Trust yourself! Also, oak represents the intense energy and power of storms and wind. Symbolic of the endurance and stamina you possess that allows you to flourish and thrive.

If reversed – cowardly, uncertain, or frail. You have not been acting kindly or fairly in your leadership role. It’s ok to lack knowledge and facts, but do not make it a common practice.

Inscription and Magical Uses – Inscribe this ogham on an acorn for good luck in job interviews, courage, or pursuing justice. Duir is an excellent ogham inscription to keep at work. Helpful when working when storms, lightning, or the element air. It can also be used in healing or for those who need reminders of their resilience, profound strength, and tenacity.

Folklore – Oak trees are considered sacred guardians. They are an excellent place to meditate beneath or seek strength and assurance. If you catch an oak leaf before it touches the ground, you will have excellent health throughout the cold winter months. Representative of the Oak King, who marks the beginning and climax of the Summer Solstice.

August 28 I Ching, Numerology, Angel Number, Animal Spirit Guide or Helper Divination Journal

I Ching

From psychic-revelation.com – I Ching

I Ching Hexagram: 4/Four

Name: Meng.

Keyphrase: Youthful Folly.

Formed By The Trigrams: Mountain over Water.

 

General: Patience and kindness are the keys to learning and teaching.

Love: Let go of any childhood traumas you have about relationships.

Business: Being thoughtful will help strengthen new business ideas or procedures.

Personal: Remember the pleasure of childhood and youth and imitate it. You may need to release any bad habits from that time.

 

Overview: Meng builds on the theme of inexperience seen in hexagram 3 (Chun). It suggests that youth (like the flowing stream) has a long way to go before it becomes a mighty river. Meng is about teaching, learning and knowledge. Ignorance should not be punished, rather it should be replaced with knowledge. When the learning is fun the student will learn more. It is a reminder that a teacher should also be a mentor, setting the scene for the way the student will behave in adulthood.

Four

Positive qualities

 

The positive qualities of the Four could be described as purely men’s virtues if thousands of women didn’t have them. This is high endurance, exceptional working ability, personal organization, commitment to principles and equanimity. You are firm in your beliefs, most important of which is that nothing in this world comes for free, and any reward is to be deserved.

That’s why people of your kind are the foundation of any society. They know what to do and can implement it in practice. There is nothing heroic in your manifestations, but all your life is a feat. As a consequence, only few admire you, but everyone respects you.

Negative qualities

When someone wants to point out the Four’s weakness, they first mention their stubbornness, slowness and tediousness. From a certain point of view, so it is: you always take your time not to make mistakes, and you’ll hold your ground up to the end without losing a chance to rub your opponent’s nose in their errors.

Moreover, you never hide your skeptical attitude towards rattle heads, shallow and irresponsible people. Therefore, you are often accused of being too suspicious, and your zero-tolerance of idleness and unwillingness to waste time on idle pleasures gives others a reason to consider you sullen and hard-grained.

Name Numerology

Four in the name numerology – Minor Expression Number, Heart’s Desire Number and Personality Number – means the ability to work as much as needed to get the result. This is the ability to win people’s confidence and justify it. It also means a talent of accumulating practical skills that make you a really universal employee.

This set of talents provides you with a high degree of being sought after and, not only as a professional. You know everything that a person living among other people should know. One can ask for your help in almost any case. You either do what is needed, or specify how and what needs to be done. It is virtually impossible to catch you off guard.

Birthday Numerology

Four in the date of birth – Life Path Number and Birth Day Number – doesn’t imply any unique chance or happy coincidences for you. Your opportunities are of a different kind. They are a direct consequence of your life principles.

Figuratively speaking, you are not the lucky one who was fortunate enough to come across a gold mine by chance. You are a zealous miner who has been working to discover a gold vein on their site.

This is what you can do: work, achieve and fight your way through. Thus you will obtain the desired results of your diligence and patience. These chances in real life are more valuable than any strokes of luck.

Numerology Core

Occupation of people with Four in the numerological core is often determined by external circumstances. This can be a family business or family profession, it may be an occupation traditional for a place or environment where you were born. Finally, it may be the profession that was the first to catch your attention, or something that you were just offered to do.

People like you rarely switch to other profession, for the simple reason that they rarely fail in the chosen field. Your approach to work is characterized as methodical organization of applied type: you get all the necessary information, master the necessary skills, and then just do your thing.

Love & Relationships

Personal life of the Fours is, as a rule, far from being romantic. You have a feature that distinguishes you from other people in this regard: you are really ready for the fact that delights of the big Love and euphoria of possessing the object of your desires give way to monotony of everyday life very quickly.

In itself, such an attitude to life together is quite reasonable and perfectly justified, as it is a guarantee of stability. There is just one small problem: it is rather difficult to find a partner with the same view of things. As a result, someone’s romantic nature will severely suffer from your earthiness and lack of inspiration.

Create a sacred space for yourself in your home and/or place of work.

A sacred space is an area in your home or workplace where you can have some privacy for contemplation, meditation, or simply a bit of quite time to think. If this isn’t possible to do at work, it becomes even more imperative that you provide this for yourself in your home. This is a space that is your territory, whether it is an entire room or a corner of your living room or bedroom. Place a cozy chair or pillow there, and set up a simple altar, one that contains a few pieces that are both personal and precious. Include a candle in your space that you can light when you are abiding there. Make your sacred space a comfortable place to hang out, with no agenda or compulsion to do anything. As Buddha said, “Don’t just do something, sit there!”

You may find all sorts of reasons or excuses not to do this, but don’t cave in to these internal objections. Make it important enough for your emotional and mental health and balance to create this kind of private sanctuary. Be sure to do nothing in particular for a good period of time while you’re there. The increasingly rapid pace of life and growing intensities in the world are even greater cause for doing so. It’s a place for solace, one where you can more closely listen to your inner voice and feelings, and tap into the Life Force inside that’s expressing itself to you.

I Am Finally Back Sort Of

In case you are not familiar with farm buildings this is a container meant to hold corn or oats. It is on one of the back roads near our home. I wonder when we go pass if witches live in the home.

I thought getting over the covid virus would be like any other cold or flu, boy was I wrong. Most of the symptoms has lessened but not the tiredness, bad cough, shortness of breath and the super fibromyalgia flare it caused. I still cannot sit at my computers for hours getting posts up and research for the extra posts done. I will do the best that I can to get all the content you in enjoy reading up daily but no guarantees it will be everyday. I have been told by quit a few people who have had milder symptoms than me that it will be at least 4 to 6 weeks before I feel like my energy level I am use to having returns. For me the worse part of this recuperation is not having the energy to work out in my yard. When I am working in my yard I am in my own way paying homage to Mother Earth and gain protective energy to use to do other things. I am sincerely grateful for all the candles that have been lit, well wishes and positive energy that have been sent for Lord Beltane and myself. We probably both have been sicker if not for your caring, help and support.

I am sorry I never got yesterday’s birthday horoscope or current Moon phase posted yesterday I was just to tired and had major brain fog going to get them done. I will post yesterday’s birthday horoscope today under yesterday’s date.

I also plan on getting back to my regular tomorrow posting for the northern hemisphere today and the southern hemisphere tomorrow. I will be checking up on mails through out this week.

I hopefully be able to get a start this week on the Life in The Craft issue for the northern hemisphere Mabon and southern hemisphere Ostara. This issue should be delivered to your email’s inbox by September 14th.

Wishing you a relaxing Sunday and a great start to your new week! Sending out blessings of happiness and peace to you all.

A Thought for Today

Well, I got most of the regular posts done for today but as I have 2 more days of posts to do for both hemispheres tomorrow, I skipped a few. I know some of you enjoy the Astronomy Picture of The Day so I will be checking up on all the missing dates one or two days this week. Today in History post will be back tomorrow. The extra posts on a variety of topics will start again this week also.

Thank you, dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests, for sticking with WOTC while I was not feeling good at all while the COVID virus wreaked havoc with my body and brain. I am still dealing with the tiredness and a bad cough causing me to get short of breath at times. Also, the super fibromyalgia flare that hit me because of the virus causing my body and mind to be in a stress filled state. Lord Beltane lost a full week of work because of the virus so we could not pay all of our bills for this month. One that we could not pay was our internet bill hopefully they will accept half a payment so I can stay online to do posts to WOTC. AN even more important bill that we could not make was our car payment. If we lose our car than Lord Beltane cannot work as he works for company delivering prescriptions to nursing homes and a local prison. If anyone would like to make a donation to help us get caught up with these it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to those who already have made one. For any donation of $10.00 or more I will give you a 4 card Animal Spirit Guide or Helper reading. When you make the donation, please put Animal Reading in the notes so I know you want one.

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

21 pennies
 

Write a letter to the spirit of the Crossroads and tell him the situation that you cannot decide or which road or path to choose. Lay it out in good detail which is which – meaning, what will happen if you choose this road and what will happen if you choose that path.

Go to a 4 way crossroads at 11:30 pm preferably on a Sunday night, but any night will do if you need it NOW. Place letter in center of a 4 way crossroads (must be 4 way) that extends beyond 7 blocks in each direction. Place three candles in a triangle shape on letter, surrounded by the 21 pennies. Lay one cigar each at base of the candle. Place one of each of the stick matches in between each candle. Place caramels and open pack of Cornnuts and pour in center. Take a good draw of the rum into your mouth, swish it around, spit it in a spray-like pattern over all. Set rest of open bottle of rum down on paper. Light candles and walk away.

Do not, do not,DO NOT look back or look into rear view mirror when driving away.

Accept what happens and where this takes you.

Tarot Card

Six of Wands – Minor Arcana

This is a card of career victory and public acclaim. There may be an award, a certificate, a trophy, or praise for a job well done involved. This card could represent a pay raise, bonus, or promotion for good results in achieving important goal in one’s career or creative project. It can also represent a personal rather than public experience wherein one has sense of ability proven through good financial returns or praise from outside sources, as with artistic endeavors. One’s self-image may be enhanced through winning or placing well in a competition, such as one involving sports, games, art,literature, or media work. There may be a prize involved or some other recognition that is meaningful  to the person receiving it. The indication is of a well-earned victory in which the success is merited and others are aware of this. There may have been difficulties that needed to be surmounted to gain success and public recognition for outstanding performance.

Red poppies, for assertiveness, challenges, and support,  are in the victory wreath. A sparrow, a symbol of dignity, assertiveness, loyalty, and manifestation, flies ahead of the rider.

Meaning: Victory in a career or creative enterprise, public recognition, acclaim, job well done, efforts rewarded, goals achieved after difficulties, acknowledgement, honors, advancement,  successful self-expression, career goals achieved, gains from one’s own efforts.

Prompt Words: Career victory, public acclaim.

Runes

From Two Wander

Fehu – “Cattle/Wealth”

The first of the Elder Futhark, Fehu indicates prosperity and material wealth, either won or earned income. It can represent good luck, abundance and financial success in the near future. It can also relate to social success. Not everyone chooses to read a rune as reversed (“merkstave”) if it comes up that way, but if doing so resonates with you- its reversed meaning may indicate the loss of personal possessions or income, a dip in self-esteem or some other kind of struggles. In Tarot, this could be seen as The Tower card.

KEYWORDS: Abundance, luck, hope, prosperity

Witches’ Runes

Trinity

Triple goddess, life/death/rebirth, trinity, love – romance

Some people read this witches rune as a flower – new life, birth, fertility, love. I tend to read it more like the triquetra – life/death/rebirth cycles, triple goddess, etc. It’s completely up to you how YOU interpret these!

Ogham

Onn-Gorse

While it also may have thorns, Gorse is known for a vibrant yellow flower that can last almost year round. For this reason this plant has become a symbol of vitality. It may be hardy and have some thorns but it protects wildlife and shines bright for everyone to see. When you draw this letter keep in mind optimism, positivity, and vigor. With Onn you will prevail as long as you keep your flower in bloom!

Fortune – This Ogham tells you that you will prevail! Stay happy and optimistic and everything you seek will turn out great!
