A Thought from A Eclectic Witch

c1718c8da24f3cc7cf16bee38840eded

Gods – The Dagda

The Dagda – Celtic God of Agriculture, Fertility, Seasons and Weather from letsgoireland.com

Who is the king of the gods in Celtic mythology?

The Dagda Celtic god is believed to be the father of the gods and is thought of as a strong, manly figure with the knowledge and wisdom of the druids.

As a god he had immense power and influence. The Dagda is the Celtic god of agriculturefertility of the land and animalsweathertime and seasons.

He is also connected with life and death. Donn, the Irish god of death may have been an aspect of the Dagda.

Good, fruitful harvests were critical for the survival of Celtic people and animals, so it is easy to see how central a role this god played in the Celtic pantheon.

The fertility and health of cattle was also of primary importance as a person’s wealth was often counted in terms of cattle. Retribution payments for certain crimes were also paid in cattle according to the old Irish Brehon laws.

One ritual to ensure a fruitful harvest in the coming year was the annual coupling of the Dagda with his wife, the Morrigan goddess at the feast of the Samhain (on 1 November).

Some of the Dagda’s most prized possessions included an enchanted harp and a magical staff, with which he could kill 9 men at once with or restore their lives at will. He also had a bottomless cauldron to ensure that no man left his table feeling hungry.

The Dagda was the supposed father of several other important figures in Irish mythology including the goddess Brigid and Bodb Derg who featured a key role in the tale of the Children of Lir.

The river goddess Boann was his lover and mother of his child, and fellow god, Aengus.

Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or important decisions from 10 AM to 5 PM EDT today (7 AM to 2 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Most of today is a Moon Alert (see above.) Postpone important decisions until tomorrow. Likewise, during the Moon Alert today, restrict spending money to food and gas. Don’t volunteer for anything and don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you might go overboard with plans to travel or dealing with authority figures. You might feel intensely about something. Meanwhile, most of this day is a Moon Alert, which means tread carefully! Avoid important decisions and shopping (except for food and gas.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might be tempted to give away the farm today. If you’re focused on how to divide something, or discussing shared property or an inheritance – be careful! Most of this day is a Moon Alert. (See above.) A poor time for important decisions, especially about wealth.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You continue to make an excellent impression on others; however, be careful when dealing with partners and close friends today because you might promise more than you can deliver. Because most of this day is a Moon Alert (see above) it’s a poor day for important decisions or shopping.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful about what you agree to today, especially with work colleagues. It’s easy to go out on a limb. The fact is that much of today is a Moon Alert (see above). Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Don’t volunteer for anything. Easy does it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might have strong feelings about something today, which is why you will be tempted to go overboard. Instead, check yourself. Don’t do it. Most of this day is a Moon Alert (see above). Bad time for important decisions. Don’t waste time trying to get others to agree with you. Chill out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with family members or about issues related to your home might be intense today. You might feel strongly about making a decision or taking something in a new direction. Bad idea. Most of this day is a Moon Alert. Be smart and wait until the alert is over.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might be raring to go! However, because most of today is a Moon Alert, it will be wise to check yourself and pull in your reins. Avoid important decisions during the Moon Alert. Don’t jump into anything.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you have a strong focus on money, cash flow, earnings or something to do with a possession. However, because it’s a Moon Alert for most of this day, it’s a poor day for financial matters. Restrict spending to food and gas during the Moon Alert. (See above.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today begins with the Moon in your sign, which can heighten your feelings about issues. Later in the day, you might have strong feelings related to matters about money or anything that’s important to you. However, most of today is a Moon Alert. Avoid making decisions then. Ditto for shopping.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a tricky day. In one way, you want to stand back and watch it all happen. Nevertheless, you won’t be able to do this because you’ll get sucked in. Furthermore, you might feel intensely about something. (Who knew?) Check the times of the Moon Alert. (See above)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Stay mellow when dealing with friends and groups today. Don’t volunteer for anything. Ideally, watch from the sidelines. For most of this day, there’s a Moon Alert, which means it’s bad time for decisions or spending money.

If Your Birthday Is Today

People Born On April 13: Zodiac Sign Is Aries

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS APRIL 13, you were born with daring, genuineness and brains. You have a tendency to face adversity head-on using your given talents. Those born under this zodiac sign of Aries are generally very “lucky” even as a child.

Although you lose yourself in anger sometimes and say or do hurtful things, you mainly are a gentle soul but you can be impatient and become easily upset when someone criticizes you. Otherwise, you typically work to resolve problems using your instincts and principles.

The 13th April birthday personality loves to travel, so you can move around a lot. You also have extravagant spending habits attached to your personality traits.

If today is your birthday keep their word. It is also a very important part of an Aries nature. You are honest to a fault so most people trust you with confidential matters.

The April 13th birthday horoscope shows that you try to avoid negative thinking and people. You have an optimistic attitude toward life and like to be around those who think as you do.

Although you have mostly friends of the opposite sex, at the end of the day, Arians are loyal friends. You have a respect for your elders. They have a wisdom that could be of some help to you in areas of love and finance. You want to know what they have to say so you pay close attention.

You love good food and great sex. At the same time, you love to makeup sex. There is something about an intense argument that gets you uncontrollably aroused. This cold-hearted nature hinders your ability to be emotionally attached to anyone. It will take at least two keys to unlock this chained heart – love, and loyalty.

However, once inside, the Aries partner will need to be someone who has the same sexual desires and independent nature. This Aries birthday person would be very happy to pair up. However, you are slow to make a long-term commitment.

The 13 April birthday astrology analysis shows that you are self-confident and tend to meet both short-term and long-term goals that you set. You may find this Arian in positions of power, in the health care field or even in the armed forces.

The April 13 birthday personality can be conniving when it comes to business deals. You are prone to take advantage of properties that you can buy and resell for a quick profit. Some of you Arians will inherit a lump sum that will enable you to invest fully in your retirement fund.

Until this happens, it would be in your best interest to pay off some major accounts that you have accumulated. Financial success will come through thinking, believing and working toward that goal.

The 13 April birthday characteristics also show that you are generally very proud of your bodies. You work hard to achieve the body you want and as a result, you usually do not have any physical or mental problems associated with stress or worry. If you were to have physical ailments, it would be leaning toward joints and bone diseases. Arthritis is commonly associated with those born on April 13.

Those born on this zodiac birthday, April 13, have a lot of nerve… You are bold and perhaps a little cold. You have a short fuse when it comes to criticism and patience. You have very little room for either. Having these faults does not mean that you are not a loyal friend or lover.

The April 13th birthday meanings show that you have a desire to be with someone with whom you can share your sexual and independent qualities. But you are slow to give your love and trust to anyone. You respect your elders and have a strong sense of morals due to your upbringing.

Two things this Aries birthday individual normally does not worry about is money or health. You take care of those requirements. You live to be stress-free. That is what you do… you are Aries the Ram.

Morning Wiccan Prayer Pagan Daily Spell for Gratitude

GOOD MORNING, dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests

I woke up with a glorious feeling the birds singing and a little later Ra out in his full, beautiful glory this morning knowing that the biggest stressors in my life are a thing in the past. First night in I cannot remember when I did not have even a inkling of a nightmare from PSTD. I can now move forward with letting go of the numerous abusive, in one way or another, relationships behind me and work to come to truly believe I did not cause them. To be fair I did choose to stay in those relationships so part of the reason I deal with PSTD does land on my shoulders. Today I awoke at 4:30 AM CDT because I had fell asleep about 7 PM CDT last night because I really crashed, again the first time in a very long time, from adrenaline leaving my body which means my fibromyalgia symptoms are better than they have been in many of years.

So, I decided I deserve a day of celebrating that fact that my new life with Big Dawg, my fiancée, can really and truly begin! It is still going to take me some time to fully appreciate and feel deserving of a man who loves me unconditionally, who is willing to watch out for my physical safety and protect me from things I cannot protect myself from. If this sounds un feministic so, be it but it is how I feel. I can give him my whole heart in love, companionship, and everything that goes with it without worrying that it is just a facade to keep me being his maid, lover, dog walker, ectara. He may not be a witch or pagan but he fully supports my choice of spiritual path as I do his as a Christian. We live in a small 4 room home which doesn’t afford me having a special room set aside to work and practice my magickal and spiritual path but when I am doing something with my students like our monthly chat and Sabbath gatherings or even if it is just a phone call he will go into the bedroom and shut the door. A little insider info he has done private rituals and in our own way we celebrate the Sabbaths.

Anyway, about today’s regular and extra posts. I will be doing horoscopes (BTW April 12th’s birthday horoscope is up now on the 12th), Moon phase, planetary positions, correspondences, spell, and divination. The divination post will be tarot cards, rune, witches rune, and ogham is because I am curious what these are saying to me as well as you today. No early Friday posts will be up. Tomorrow I will be going back to me regular posting schedule. I apologize to my southern hemisphere readers that so much information is being skipped over or coming up to late to maybe of no use to you for yesterday,  today, and tomorrow. YOur Saturday information will be available on your Saturday morning.

The next two issues of Life in The Craft magazine will be posted on WOTC instead of sending them via an email. Why, you may be asking yourself? Well, I want more than a hand full of people to see what the magazine offers. I am also going to go to 4 times a year issues covering the seasons and whatever Sabbaths full in it. The cost per issues will be $4.00 USD if paid monthly. If you choose to pay for a yearly subscription, it will be $14.00 USD. There will be no free issues of the quarterly magazine that is why I am putting the Beltane/Samhain and Litha/Yule issues up on WOTC. Every quarterly issue will cover the Northern and Southern Hemisphere’s Sabbats along with other topics. If you have questions, would like to submit an original article for consideration or ideas for future issues or creative criticism please write to me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com

More information

 People born on April 12 benefit from being sociable and enthusiastic and would rather lead and organize anything than do something they are asked to. Just like a true Aries, they are shockingly direct and honest. They love being in planning and decisional positions. They dislike to compromise even to the smallest things. Those born under this sign enjoy situations where they are faced with activities that give them a chance to shine as they are very competitive and full of vitality almost all the time.

 Positive traits: These are highly efficient natives who know not only how to plan something they have to do but exactly which is the most productive path to follow. However, they get bored easily so they need frequent change to accompany their adaptability and sharp temper that they show in most situations.

 Negative traits: One of the things Aries needs to learn is to take more reckoned settlements and not disregard ideas they consider good enough only because they can’t be realized as fast as their eager frame of mind would ask for. Those born on this day are overly assured and prone to depressive emotions or melancholy as they do not open easily to others because they don’t want to put their forceful image at risk. They are sometimes impolite, often biased and so self assured and this is sure to in turn destroy their relationships with people if they don’t temper themselves.

Love and Compatibility

 Lovers born on April 12 are sentimental and impulsive and they would do anything for their loved ones once they create a passionate connection. They are attracted to unpredictable and eccentric persons. For pretentious Aries love does not come easy, but as they fall in love they become the walking image of fools in love. You can conquer the heart of Aries if you are just as full of flame and free spirited like them. These people don’t mind being single as they keep focusing on keeping their lives busy with their goals. They are either trying to win their lover’s heart while complaining about their unrequited love or they play hard to get. However they are an attractive and full of energy lover although they are prone to falling in and out of love quickly. A creative, freedom lover, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th.

 April 12 Zodiac people are most attracted to the other two fire signs: Leo and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Aries is in a constant search for someone to open their hearts and whom to understand them at a deeper level. The most suitable to offer them this is the compassionate and caring Libra. Aries is thought to be least compatible with those born under the Pisces zodiac sign. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Aries, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Red is a hue that indicates passion and energy. It is one of the warmest colors. This zodiac color should be used in objects around the house and accessories.

Can I Be A Christian Wiccan or Witch? (1 Person Opinion)

Many people in the Pagan community were raised in a religion that wasn’t Paganism, and sometimes, it can be a challenge to set aside the beliefs with which you were raised. Occasionally, however, you’ll encounter people who didn’t set their beliefs aside at all, but have found a way to blend their Christian upbringing with Wicca or some other Pagan path that they’ve discovered later in life. So, that begs the question, what about that whole “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” thing that appears in the Bible? There’s an argument in some circles that the word witch was a mistranslation, and that it’s actually supposed to be poisoner. If this is the case, does that mean it’s possible to be a Christian Wiccan?

Christian Wicca

Unfortunately, this is one of those questions that has to get broken down into a bunch of really small bits, because there’s no simple answer, and no matter how it gets answered, somebody is going to be upset with the response. Let’s try to break this down a bit, without turning it into a debate on Christian theology.

First, let’s clarify one thing right off the bat. Wicca and witchcraft are not synonymous. One can be a witch without being Wiccan. Wicca itself is a specific religion. Those who follow it—Wiccans—honor the deities of their particular tradition of Wicca. They don’t honor the Christian god, at least not in the way that Christianity mandates that he be honored. In addition, Christianity has some pretty strict rules about what gods you get to worship—pretty much none other than theirs. You know, there’s that “thou shall have no other gods before me” bit. By the rules of Christianity, it’s a monotheistic religion, while Wicca is polytheistic. These make them two very distinct and very different religious belief systems.

So, if you go strictly by the very definition of the words, one could not be a Christian Wiccan any more than one could be a Hindu Muslim or a Jewish Mormon. There are Christians who practice witchcraft within a Christian framework, but this is not Wicca. Do keep in mind that there are people who declare themselves to be Christian Wiccans, or even ChristoPagans, honoring Jesus and Mary as god and goddess together. It’s generally rude to argue with how people self-identify, but if you go by actual semantics, it seems that one would rule out the other.

There are some practitioners who follow what they call Trinitarian Wicca, which “is a tradition based on American Wicca, boasting no direct lineage. Trinitarians work exclusively with the Goddess-inclusive Christian Pantheon. This tradition is not eclectic nor is it ChristoPagan because our devotion lies exclusively with the Christian pantheon.”

Witch, or Poisoner?

Let’s move on. Let’s assume that you’re interested in becoming a witch, but you plan on remaining Christian. In general, the witch community isn’t going to care—after all, what you do is your business, not ours. However, your local pastor might have quite a bit to say about it. After all, the Bible does say “thou shall not suffer a witch to live.” There’s been a great deal of discussion in the Pagan community about that line, with many people arguing that it’s a mistranslation, and that originally it had nothing to do with witchcraft or sorcery, but that the original text was “thou shall not suffer a poisoner to live.”

In general, the notion of the line in the Book of Exodus applying to poisoners and not witches is one that is popular in Pagan circles but has been repeatedly dismissed by Jewish scholars. This theory of mistranslation of the word “poisoner” as “witch” is acknowledged as being patently false, and based upon ancient Greek texts.

In the original Hebrew, the text is very clear. In the Targum Onkelos, which is an ancient translation of the Torah into Aramaic, the verse in question reads M’khashephah lo tichayyahwhich loosely translates into “A M’khashephah you shall not let live.” For the early Jews, a M’khashephah was a witch who used herbal magic as a form of sorcery. While herbalism could have involved herbal poisons, if the Torah had meant to say poisoner, it would have used a different word, rather than one that meant, specifically, witch.

While this doesn’t need to turn into a discussion on Biblical theory, many Jewish scholars have asserted that the passage in question does in fact refer to witchcraft, which seems fairly sensible, since they’re the ones who speak the language best. Keeping that in mind, if you choose to practice witchcraft under the umbrella of Christianity, don’t be surprised if you run into some opposition from other Christians.

The Bottom Line

So can you be a Christian Wiccan? In theory, no, because they’re two separate religions, one of which forbids you from honoring the gods of the other. Can you be a Christian witch? Well, maybe, but that’s a matter for you to decide for yourself. Again, the witches probably don’t care what you do, but your pastor may be less than thrilled.

If you’re interested in practicing witchcraft and magic within a Christian framework, you may want to look into some of the writings of Christian mystics, or perhaps the Gnostic Gospels, for further ideas.

Can you be a Christian Witch? (1 Persons Opinion)

The short answer is yes…

The long answer is: No, not really, depending on which “brand” of Christianity you subscribe to.

The other disclaimer I would like to give is that there is honestly so much to this topic. This article is likely to barely scratch the surface, which is one of the reasons I have put off writing about it. The other reason is that I am honestly afraid of being targeted and attacked by Christians & the Christian-Witch community… because they don’t exactly have a good track record of being understanding, or civil.

So if I am burned at the stake for writing this, we’ll know for sure that nothing’s changed in the last few hundred years…

Tarot Card

General

All aspects of today’s reading come from the Page of Pentacles from tarotx.net

Page of Pentacles

The Page of Pentacles shows a young man, standing alone in the middle of fertile land. There was a lush forest of fruit trees behind him, promising a plentiful harvest. He walked slowly and did not know anything about the surrounding area. He focused on nothing but the gold coin in his hands. The sky is bright and everything is going very well on the path leads to his future success.

In Tarot court cards, The Page is a card of new beginnings, inspiration and early stages of a creative project. Pentacles correspond to the element of Earth in Alchemy. Therefore, the fact that the Page treasures the gold coin shows an awareness, appreciating the value of money not only physically but also about the related needs such as health, food, and clothes.

Three

THE CREATIVE CHILD

The Love Child of Zeus and Hera.

In the previous chapter (on the number 2), I described the unique union between the numbers 1 and 2 as that of the father and mother unit, while revealing the contradictory natures of their personalities. Now, we move on to what could be considered the result of their union: the number 3, an extraordinarily talented child.

The number 3 is like a gifted teenager who is still under the protection of its parents – a bit spoiled, clearly scattered, and perpetually in need of guidance. However, the 3 excels in the creative field.

An individual with 3s in key points of their numerology chart will have a passionate need to express feelings, ideas, and vision. Coupled with an extroverted personality, they are likely to seek a career in art, especially the verbal arts.

Another unique quality of the 3 is the tendency to be “lucky,” or rather, to be in the right place at the right time. This may be connected to their innate sense of rhythm – the 3 seems to be in tune with the cyclical nature of their surroundings.

Their social skills are also excellent.

Charm, wit and a sense of humor help a 3 along their path, and a compelling charisma make them particularly attractive.

Followers are willing to forgive less favorable traits exhibited by 3s, such as their lack of focus and direction, a tendency to procrastinate, an inability to finish projects, and an unwillingness to take responsibility.

There is also a superficial side to the 3 that can be harder to look past – a narcissistic streak, the need to be the center of attention. It’s easy for the optimistic 3 to enjoy day-to-day life as long as all is well, but when challenging issues arise, internal fortitude is often lacking.

Without little focus on deeper aspects, the 3 can succumb to difficulties unless friends and family provide support.

For the 3 to become a balanced, happy person they must learn discipline. Fortunate 3s who exhibit talent early in life (such as gifted dancers and music prodigies) are often placed in environments with just the sort of discipline a 3 needs to protect those talents.

Relationships can be a bit of a challenge for the 3, at least those requiring long-term commitment and loyalty. With plenty of acquaintances (probably more than is healthy), when true depth and intimacy enter the picture, the 3 may turn tail and run.

The 3 can have a jealous streak too, causing conflicts when those it has rejected move on in search of more meaningful bonds.

Jealousy stems from the 3 recognizing it has been skimming the surface of life since birth. As a result, they feel insecure, thinking others know things that have escaped them.

But, once a 3 finds the motivation to delve deeply into the realities of life (something that may only happen when confronted), its happy facade has the potential to be replaced by the serenity true wisdom brings. Such a “transformed” 3 is a thing to behold.

No one is represented by just one number but is a mixture of several if not all the numbers in their chart. Those who are blessed with a heavy dose of 3s in their numerology chart tend to have an easier time being happy, optimistic, and playful.

However, this kind of “joie de vivre” can leave those same people unprepared for the more demanding experiences that life inevitably brings.

While the western mindset focuses on happy moments as the ideal, unhappy experiences are often the ones that bring greater depth and quality to our life.

For the number 3, happiness might be easy to achieve, but is almost always a consequence of something materialistic or fleeting (a new car, a new relationship, a sunny day). A higher happiness, one that is not the consequence of a particular event but the result of a deep appreciation toward life itself, is worth a million times more.

The biggest challenge for the 3 is to recognize the real beauty of life is not found in possessions or frivolity, but in the deepest aspects of being human.

When the 3 defies the odds to achieve this state of being, the fact that it has had to travel far to reach such a height makes this number uniquely qualified to help others reach the same goal.

808] What is the meaning of angel number?

Angel number 808 mainly means “richness” or “believing mind.” If you look closely at the 808 numbers recently, this 808 is the angel number given to you. Each of the three digits is significant, so let’s focus on the numbers that come out.

Meaning of [0]: Beginning with reset

0 is a special number whose number does not change even when added. Therefore, it serves to emphasize the meaning of the combined number. This number indicates that you can receive support from the universe and God. In addition, 0 is obviously the first number, so it represents a new beginning and a reset.

Meaning of [7]: Your choice is right

808 can be broken down into 8, 0 and 8 and added up to 16. 16 can be decomposed into 1 and 6, so add it to 7. So at first glance I don’t know, but the angel number 808 also has the meaning of 7.

The message of angel number 808 signifies the onset of material changes, such as awareness of the richness of the mind and expressive feelings. You can also receive support from angels, so it’s a good idea to maintain positive thinking and embrace the changes that come. Use your prosperity for others, and don’t judge it by profit or loss.

In addition, as for the love tendency of Angel Number 808, the relationship with the lover is stable, the situation of the encounter is ideal, and the marriage is calm.

Animal Spirit Guide or Helper

Today’s Animal Spirt Guide card comes from Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards by Steven D. Farmer Copyright 2008

Dog

Your loyalty and faithfulness is misplaced by serving to many masters.

“Whom do you serve?” is the question at hand here. When you compromise your personal integrity through misguided attempts to placate others out of fear of their disapproval or to avoid up setting them, you deny your own inner authority and give away your power. You become their servant, and they, your masters. You allow this by assuming that another person or organization has greater knowledge, power, or spiritual wisdom than you, and put yourself in “less Than” position. While other may possess some of these attributes to a greater degree than you do, you can honor them as teachers — not masters.

Children may rightly look to their parents for this sort of guidance. However, as they mature, it’s appropriate that the leash to their parents’ authority stretches and is eventually severed. The human error is to continue to project this parental authority onto other people and institutions, and then either subjugate their will or act in opposition to that perceived authority. Over a number of years, you may find yourself attached to the leashes of their masters, leading you to feel fragmented and, to some degree, powerless. Instead, take off those collars, and let Spirit be your one true Master. Then you will experience true freedom.
