Spell for Today – Refresh the Soul Spell and Walk Backwards Return Spell

Wednesday is a good day to focus on getting over any slumps you may have. This day is considered the middle of the work week; and many people find themselves very tired by this point. That is why this day is a great day to do refresh, refrain, return, wake-up, and concentration spells. It is, also, another good day for meditation.

Refresh Spells –Refresh the Soul Spell

Items you will need for this spell:

1 bottle of peppermint oil
1 white candle
1 lighter or match
Dress the candle with the peppermint oil, being careful about contact with the skin. Place the candle on a fire-safe surface and light it. Close your eyes for about a minute and just allow yourself to breathe in the peppermint aroma. Open your eyes and say this chant nine times:

“Breathe in, breathe out.
I’m refreshing.
I’m restoring.
I’m feeling revived.
My energy’s soaring.”

Keep breathing in the aroma and close your eyes again. When you are ready, open your eyes and blow out the candle. This should give you a feeling of being refreshed.

Return Spells – Walk Backwards Return Spell

Things you will need:

1 candle (any color)
1 lighter or match
Your body
Place a candle in front of you on a fire-safe surface. Sit or stand in a comfortable position in front of the candle and close your eyes for about three minutes. During the three minutes, think about what you want returned to you and how the item makes you feel. After the three minutes or so, get up and take twelve steps backwards and say this chant three times:

“Backwards walk.
Missing something yearned.
When I turn around,
It will be returned.”

After doing this, turn around three times, clockwise and stop. Now, go blow out the candle, and your item should be returned to you soon.

November 16 Astronomy Picture of the Day

2022 November 16

In the Arms of NGC 1097

Image Credit & Copyright: Mike Selby, Mark Hanson

Explanation: Spiral galaxy NGC 1097 shines in southern skies, about 45 million light-years away in the heated constellation Fornax. Its blue spiral arms are mottled with pinkish star forming regions in this colorful galaxy portrait. They seem to have wrapped around a small companion galaxy above and right of center, about 40,000 light-years from the spiral’s luminous core. That’s not NGC 1097’s only peculiar feature, though. This very deep exposure hints of faint, mysterious jets, seen to extend well beyond the bluish arms. In fact, four faint jets are ultimately recognized in optical images of NGC 1097. The jets trace an X centered on the galaxy’s nucleus, but probably don’t originate there. Instead, they could be fossil star streams, trails left over from the capture and disruption of a much smaller galaxy in the large spiral’s ancient past. A Seyfert galaxy, NGC 1097’s nucleus also harbors a supermassive black hole.

2022 November 15

Wolf’s Cave Nebula

Image Credit & Copyright: Gianni Lacroce

Explanation: The mysterious blue reflection nebula found in catalogs as VdB 152 or Ced 201 really is very faint. It lies at the tip of the long dark nebula Barnard 175 in a dusty complex that has also been called Wolf’s Cave. At the center of this deep telescopic view, the cosmic apparitions are nearly 1,400 light-years away along the northern Milky Way in the royal constellation Cepheus. Interstellar dust in the region blocks light from background stars and scatters light from the embedded bright star, giving the end nebula its characteristic blue color. Though stars do form in molecular clouds, this star seems to have only accidentally wandered into the area, as its measured velocity through space is very different from the cloud’s velocity. At the image bottom is the planetary nebula Dengel-Hartl 5, while red glowing gas from an ancient supernova remnant is also visible along the image’s right side.

A Laugh for Today – What We Woke Up To

A 180-degree view of where we live

My inner child is singing, “I want to build a snowman and make snow angels!”

I am so energized as always with the first snowfall, especially when we do not have to drive on the roads with idiot drivers. Anyone who has to go out today please be extra careful walking and driving. I swear just about everyone forgets from one snow season to the next how to drive in it. But we are blessed to have enough groceries, food for the fur kids, and a nice warm home to spend this day in. Now to just quit looking out the window as the snowflakes fall gently to cover Mother Earth in her first beautiful white blanket, I can get posting done.

My inner child chimes in again, “I want to build a snowman, make snow angels, and drink hot chocolate with chocolate flavored marshmallows!!!!! GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY, FORGET ABOUT NASTY GROWN UP STUFF”

☃️HAPPY 1ST SNOW ILLINONAINS!!! ☃️

NGC 7380: The Wizard Nebula

Image Credit & Copyright: Ioan Popa

Explanation: What powers are being wielded in the Wizard Nebula? Gravitation strong enough to form stars, and stellar winds and radiations powerful enough to create and dissolve towers of gas. Located only 8,000 light years away, the Wizard nebula, featured here, surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or major decisions from 5:30 AM to 8 AM EST (2:30 AM 5 AM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because you feel sympathetic toward someone today, you might figure out a way to help them, especially in practical or financial terms. You might see a solution? Or perhaps you see a new approach that you can use to reduce your debt or deal with shared property. One can only hope.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A conversation with a partner or close friend will be mutually sympathetic today. One, or both of you, will want to get down to brass tacks in order to solve a problem. This might involve a serious disclosure about something. “Alright, I’m ready to come clean.” You want the facts.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This can be a productive day at work for you because you will see new approaches to solving problems and introducing reforms. You might have to tear something back down to the basics in order to rebuild it. You are also inclined to want to help a coworker today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you feel sympathetic to the needs of children. Likewise, you might feel idealistic about a romantic relationship. Certainly, your love of mystery is aroused today, which is why you will want to read whodunit’s or see mystery movies or figure out the plot of something. (The butler in the dining room with the candlestick?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which will slightly improve your good fortune; however, it will also increase your emotions, (which you will no doubt notice). Today you feel sympathetic to a family member. In a discussion with someone, a secret might be revealed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a gentle, dreamy day. Your imagination is aroused and your ability to fantasize and visualize is excellent. You will feel sympathetic to others. You might also want to know the truth about something that happened to a sibling, relatives or neighbour. “Hey, what’s the scoop?”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If shopping today, keep your receipts because you will be tempted to buy luxurious, impractical items. (Of course, one can never have too many coats.) You might investigate a financial situation today because you want the bottom line about something, especially the cost.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign dancing with other planets. This makes you dreamy, sympathetic and yet, at the same time, almost suspicious and scrutinizing. (A curious combination.) You want to know the truth about something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is an excellent day to do research and discover secrets or answers to problems that you might have. You might use your imagination or you might use your ability to dig deep and find out the truth about what you need to know.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might idealize a friend today. You might also feel sympathetic to a friend and want to help them, if you can. Certainly, conversations with someone will be intense, deep and quite revealing. Possibly, someone will make a confession to you?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Others might appeal to you today because they want your help or your blessing about something. (Possibly, you are the one making an appeal to a boss or someone in a position of authority.) The truth of something will come out today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Although your idealism is aroused today, you also see the subtext of things, which is why you will not be seduced by clever rhetoric or propaganda. If you trust your intuition, you will not be talked into something that is preposterous or untrue. “Trust the Force, Luke.”

If Your Birthday Is Today

King Charles III (1948) shares your birthday today. Although your love life might be dramatic, you want stability and predictability in your everyday world. You have many talents and are insightful. This year simplicity is your theme. It’s time to create solid foundations in your life, including home repairs. Laziness is not acceptable. Get to work.
