Spell – White magic Jupiter spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

White magic Jupiter spell

by Tina Caro

This white magick spell is well known and is a simple ritual to obtain money, thanks to the help of the force of the planet Jupiter.

If we want to give more strength to the ritual, the Thursday that must be chosen should be in a period of the new moon shortly after midnight.

Ingredients:

How to perform it:

Take the banknote and fold it into four parts.

Now place it in the copper container.

Create an ideal circle with the green candles around the copper container.

Now arrange the white candles in a circle around the green ones as well.

Then draw a circle with the coarse salt that encloses everything.

You will then have the copper container in the center surrounded by the green candles, which in turn are surrounded by the white candles, which in turn are enclosed by the circle of salt.

This composition is a powerful catalyst for positive energies and is also used in other propitiatory rites.

Now, light the candles, starting with the green ones, and moving clockwise.

While lighting the candles, repeat as if it were a chant the following formula several times and always in a multiple number of three (three, six, nine…).

Leave a certain amount of time between the lighting of one candle and the other.

“Sun, cover me with gold,
dress me in silver, Moon,
give me riches, great Jupiter”

Let the candles burn out completely. Then take the copper container and put it in a safe place away from prying eyes (obviously you have to leave the banknote inside).

It can be used again to repeat the ritual as often as you need it, always in the new moon period, always on Thursday.

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Thursday

Thursday

from thewhitegoddess.co.uk

Day: Thursday
Planet: Jupiter
Colours: Purple, Deep Blue
Crystals: Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite, Tin
Aroma: Melissa, Clove, Oakmoss, Jupiter Oil, Cinnamon, Musk, Nutmeg, and Sage
Herb: Cinquefoil

Ruled by the planet Jupiter and dedicated to Thor, god of thunder and agricultural work. His parallels in various European Traditions include Zeus, Taranis, Perun, and Perkunas. Magical aspects: controlled optimism, energetic growth, physical well-being, material success, expansion, money/wealth, prosperity, leadership, and generosity.

Thursday is the day of Jupiter, the largest of the planets and said to be the most powerful. Spellcasters would be wise to use this day for attempting wealth, success and prosperity spells. Thursday is also associated (in Norse mythology) to Thor – Thor’s day – and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same. Both are strong and powerful, yet wise and just.

Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect.

This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion.

This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving communication, divination, writing, knowledge, business transactions, teaching, reason, skill, self-improvement, debt, fear, loss, intellectual pursuits, and flexibility.

Gods and Goddesses – Overview of the Olympian Gods and Goddesses

I am using just one website greek-gods.org for this overview of Greek Olympian Gods and Goddesses so, if I missed any please let me know in the comments section. Thank you!

If you studied Greek mythology in school these would be the deities you might be most familiar with. There are other names mentioned in books on Greek mythology which I will list tomorrow but will probably not be doing individual posts on in the future.

The Olympian gods, main Greek gods

The Olympian gods or Olympians are younger gods who got the name after their mythical place Mount Olympus. They had gained rank as the rulers of the world after dethroning the elder gods, known also as the Titans, in a ten-year war called Titanomachy. The Olympians, as they called themselves, were the main gods of Ancient Greece and were representing civilization of the world.

The first generation Olympians were descendants of a titan couple Cronus and Rhea. Together they gave birth to six children, three sons and three daughters. The sons were Poseidon, Hades, Zeus and daughters Hera, Hestia and Demeter. Zeus, Poseidon, Hera and Demeter are always considered as Olympian gods while Hestia and Hades are only included at some point of their existence. Hades was supposed to live on Mount Olympus and had every honour and right to but was given the realm of death under his control, when the three brothers had to split the cosmos after the victory over titans. And Hestia lived there just for a short period. After being granted a place on Mount Olympus by Zeus she eventually, because of her modesty, gave away her place to keep peace among gods because there were only twelve places on Mount Olympus, and the desire for these was huge among gods. The second generation Olympians were Athena, Ares, Hermes, Dionysus, Apollo, Artemis and Hephaestus. Aphrodite is also sometimes considered as the second generation goddess but is in general referred to be from the titans generation. Anyway, all of these gods are referred as Olympian gods and together they presided over every aspect of human life.

Crystal, Gems, and Stones Meanings and Magickal Usage – Chakra Balancing Stones

Opinion of Desy, Phylameana lila. “Healing Crystals and Their Spiritual Properties.” Learn Religions, Apr. 5, 2023,

All healing crystals carry balancing energies. The trick for knowing what type of stone you need is to determine where your imbalances are. Getting your chakras evaluated is a good place to begin. Some crystals help align all the primary chakras, whereas others focus on a specific chakra (heart chakra, throat chakra, etc.)

Good Day WOTC Family/A Thought for Today

With the survey questions please remember you do not have to use or follow just one pantheon. I for example follow many Celtic and Native American some Egyptian and Wicca along with bits and pieces of other traditions in my personal practice. My patron god and goddesses are from Egypt, Ra, Roman, Luna, and modern Mother Earth/Gaia. So, if you want to vote for more than one pantheon please do. Many witches/pagans today are eclectic using what fits for them from whatever traditions they find something that touches their spirit and/or heart instead of just following one type of tradition. The main things is to follow what works for you! After I am done posting an overview of the different pantheon I will be combining the Gods and Goddesses post into one post instead of separate posts when possible.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 7:30 PM to 10:15 PM EDT today (4:30 PM to 7:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For some reason, people seem to know personal details about your private life today. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. We all have secrets and skeletons in our closets. (Especially those who claim they don’t.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will feel happier today if you can change your routine or do something different. You want a little excitement in your life! Ideally, you would love to travel or take a short trip. Why not be a tourist in your own city? Go someplace you’ve never been before.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It will be in your best interests to take care of red-tape details related to taxes, debt, insurance matters, wills and inheritances – all that fun stuff that doesn’t go away on its own. Brace yourself and decide to tackle some of this. Ironically, when you finally do – it’s not so bad. And Mercury retrograde will help you finish old business quickly!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

With the Moon opposite your sign, you’re focused on your most personal relationships. Difficulties will be more emotional. Therefore, be careful that you don’t react in an automatic “knee-jerk” fashion. Avoid intense confrontations.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a good time to make an effort to get better organized both at home and in your work. If you do this, no matter how little you accomplish, you’ll love yourself for it later! “Why did I wait to do this until now?” Do yourself this favour. Take a breath and jump in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today, you have a strong need to be yourself, which is why you should stick up for what you want. You don’t have to conceal your feelings from others. You’re allowed to feel whatever you’re feeling. Today you might feel protective and nurturing toward someone, especially children.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll be happy to cocoon at home today if you can. It’s important for you to like your surroundings at home – colours, lighting and furniture arrangement because you’re affected by your immediate environment more than other sign. You like matching towels in the bathroom.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

When talking to others today, you’ll want to discuss something important or meaningful. You don’t want to spend time in idle chitchat about the weather. This is why you will seek out someone who is willing to engage you in a meaningful way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might have some excellent moneymaking ideas today. Or perhaps you have ideas about how to save money. You might even see better uses for something that you already own because you’re in a resourceful frame of mind.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For 2 1/2 days every month, the Moon is in your sign, which means your luck is slightly better. (Admittedly, you’ll feel more emotional.) Nevertheless, because you have the edge over all the other signs right now, ask the universe for a favour.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Although you have a desire to be low-key today; nevertheless, you can use this same energy to do research and find answers to old questions or discover solutions to old problems. Plus, you have a scientific mind. (Oh yes, don’t leave home without your deerstalker.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Because your emotional contact with friends is important to you today, reach out and meet a friend for lunch or coffee or talk to them in some way. You might feel more protective for them and want to support them or help them if possible.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Supermodel Linda Evangelista (1965) shares your birthday today. You have enormous energy and drive, which you often use to benefit others because you are a determined idealist. You set high standards for yourself and others. Simplicity is the key to life for you this year. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will play an important role. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Aries

This is going to be an enthusiastic day for you as you are full of verve and ready to embark in any adventure opportunity coming your way.

You might feel that you are bursting with energy but you shouldn’t neglect your health because all these efforts will eventually tire you off. You should also try to behave as diplomatically as possible to avoid being misunderstood.

Taurus

Today you might be feeling all capable and in charge with everything but be cautious, there are things you might be overlooking and you shouldn’t count that much on your own.

If needed to make decisions that you consider important, you should consult yourself with someone you trust. Don’t take any promises that are made to you for granted this day.

Gemini

Today might offer you the conditions of a special encounter, be it something romantic or work related. There are great chances for the single natives to find someone that will be of greater importance in their life and for those natives that need professional fulfilment to find someone that can help them with their endeavors.

So don’t stay at home, go out socialize and see how the day unravels.

Cancer

Today you are entering a period of peaceful relaxation in your love life. For the committed natives this means they will have little reasons to worry and expect trouble while the single native will even get the chance to meet someone special.

So go out and socialize because chance might smile upon you if you keep your mind open enough to receive its benefits.

Leo

This day seems to be the exact opposite of yesterday. You might have actually put to good use the laziness in the day before because today you are all energized and ready for action.

You should benefit of this ability of seeing the bigger picture. Pay attention to details today because they will be the key for the events in the future days for you.

Virgo

Today is going to be a great day, especially in respect of your career so why not try to solve your tasks properly and seize every opportunity you might get in this direction.

There is also a chance to involve someone close, maybe one of your friends in your work so those with more liberal professions will be those benefited of this astral disposition.

Libra

This is another day that puts the greater accent on your professional life so it’s a great time to deal with all kinds of projects, this time especially personal ones.

So if you have a liberal profession, make sure you take advantage of every waking hour today. By the afternoon you will also get a chance to relax and refresh your mind with an activity you enjoy doing.

Scorpio

Today is going to be one of those days to remember for some natives, especially due to an event in their personal life.

Be it that you have already scheduled something important for you or that there is going to be something unexpected bringing you this kind of joy. Make sure you agree and try to work on the desires of your significant other.

Sagittarius

Today you should be all honest and frank about your feelings in order to avoid any misunderstandings. Be it that you have to speak your mind at home or at work, make sure you don’t make any compromises unless you want to suffer some undesired consequences.

Better speak now than suffer later, right? Other than that, quite an uneventful day ahead for you.

Capricorn

Today you might not be in your best game at work, as you might feel so swamped in work that you won’t be able to focus in finding solutions.

You might not be able to manage your resources properly but don’t panic as long as you can postpone things for later. On the other hand, you might reach to some financial opportunities that you needed for some time.

Aquarius

Today you will be feeling the need for a major change. Be it that you feel like things are evolving in your life or that you feel stuck and you need something new.

Make sure you choose the life territories to update wisely because you shouldn’t start on too many changes this day. If you don’t feel brave enough to act on these impulses try to analyze your health.

Pisces

Today will be quite a revealing day for you as some of your plans will be somewhat discarded by reality and you will be forced to admit that you weren’t that ready to put them in practice.

You will also need to make a mission from resisting to temptations and the impulses of reacting all emotional and uncontrolled to that fact that your plans are not going to complete themselves.
