Spell – War Water Recipe and Two Protection Spells

 

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

War Water Recipe

Ingredients

A jar

Water

Iron nails (if possible try to find cut iron nails)

On a Tuesday (the day of Mars) put the iron nails in the jar and fill the jar with water. Leave the nails inside the jar for at least 15 days in a cool place (preferably your refrigerator as you will prevent bacteria to be cultivated in the water). For the first 7 days leave the jar unopened and then open periodically as air will speed up the oxidation process of the nails. The secret for this recipe is oxidation.

Strain the water from the jar and use as needed. You can keep adding water to the original jar with the iron nails indefinitely and you will have an infinite supply of Water of Mars. In addition, you can summon the God Mars to bless your water with his powers.

At this time, other ingredients may be added to the mix. These ingredients might include additional iron, graveyard dirt, thorns, urine, rotting oak leaves, and/or spanish moss.

Spanish Moss is a flowering plant that grows on trees in the South. It has become a common additive in War Water. It rots well in water giving the concoction a putrid or *swampy*smell and also a nice black color, which some prefer.

Protection Against Specific Spells Using War Water

To protect your home or apartment against the type of spell that is cast by placing something in the doorway or on the steps of a house, add two ounces of War Water to a mop bucket of water. Say a cleansing chant over the water to remove all negative influences from your doorway, yours steps and whatever else you intend to mop. Then mop the surfaces, wringing out the mop into another bucket. When you have finished, pour the mop water and the wringings into a street or a roadway.

 

Protection of Your Home Using War Water

This spell is especially suited to protecting a home from acts of violence whether the violence is psychic or physical. This spell may be done annually if desired. The best day to do this spell is around the 21st of June, the Summer Equinox. But if you can use it anytime especially in emergency.

Add two ounces of War Water to a mop bucket of water. Say a protection chant over the water. If you tradition involves praying to saints, you should pray in the name of St. John the Baptist. Lightly mop the house out, from top to bottom, front to back. Wring your mop into another bucket. Throw out the water and the wringings from the back door of the house if you have a back door. Rinse out the bucket and mop and pour the rinse water down the toilet. If you don’t have a back door, flush the water down the toilet and rinse out the bucket and mop and flush that water, too.

Goddesses – Mnemosyne, Greek Titan Goddess of Memory and Remembrance

Mnemosyne, Greek Titan Goddess from greek-gods.org

Mnemosyne (Mnemosine, Juno Moneta, Memory) was a Titan goddess of memory and remembrance. She was believed to be the inventress of speech and writings. In Hesiod’s Theogony, her daughters, the Muses, are described as the spirits who possessed kings and poets, whom the gods favoured and gave them special powers of authoritative speech and wisdom. Mnemosyne was one of the six daughters of primeval deities Uranus and Gaea in the first generation of Titans. Mnemosyne was also known to be a mother of Muses and represented the memorisation of stories and myths preserved in history before the discovery of writing.

The mother of Muses

Mnemosyne dwelled over the hills of Eleuther (in Pieria, near Mount Olympus) where Zeus came to lie with her for nine nights, away from other immortal gods. Together in those nine nights they gave birth to nine Muses:

Calliope – muse of epic poetry was believed to have possessed Homer and gave him inspiration for the Odyssey and the Iliad. She is often depicted as carrying a book or a writing tablet. She was also the mother of two sons by Apollo, called Linus and Orpheus. (Side Note Calliope has been helping me write since before I had my first website. Not a witchy one but for dog obedience training – really I was training humans to be kind to their companion when correcting them 😄)

Clio – muse of history. She is usually depicted of holding an open scroll or is seated beside a chest of books.

Erato – muse of love and erotic poetry. Most of the time she is depicted playing a kithara or a lyre, but in some cases she is shown with a wreath of myrtle and roses.

Euterpe – muse of music. She is often depicted sitting on a chair and playing her double flute.

Melpomene – muse of tragedy. However, she was originally a muse of singing and dancing which came from her name or more precisely from greek verb melpô (“to celebrate with dance and song.”). She is usually depicted wearing cothurnus boots(boots worn by tragic actors) and holding a tragic mask in her hand.

Polyhymnia – muse of sacred hymns. She is depicted as serious or meditative, often standing, wearing long cloak and supporting her arm with a part of the cloak.

Terpsichore – muse of dancing. Usually, she is depicted in a sitting position and playing a lyre with her special plectrum. She is also mentioned to be the mother of Sirens.

Thalia – muse of comedy. Most of the time, she is depicted holding a comic mask in her hand and wearing a cloak and a crown made of ivy.

Urania – muse of astronomy. She is depicted with a globe in her hand. Urania was believed to be able of fortelling the future by arrangement of the stars and is often associated with Universal Love and the Holy Spirit.

Gods – Coeus, Greek Titan God of Intelligence and Farsight

Coeus, Greek Titan God from greek-gods.org

Coeus (Koios, Polos) was a Titan god of intelligence and farsight, meaning that, due to his inquisitive mind and desire to learn, he was with gained knowledge and understanding able to see beyond the obvious. He was also identified as a god of wisdom and heavenly oracles. Coeus was also known as a Pillar of the north pole from which constellations revolved and, therefore, controlled the axis between Heaven and Earth. Together with his other three brothers Crius, Hyperion and Iapetus, they presided as the Pillars of holding Heaven and Earth apart. He was one of six sons of Uranus and Gaea and is mentioned by Apollodorus as one of the five brothers, all but Oceanus, who participated in rebellion against Uranus and later attacked him. When they overcame him, the four brothers probably held him down, while Cronus castrated him. His latin name was Polos or Polus and according to Hyginus the name Coeus was used for a giant instead of titan. They are clearly two different characters mentioned by not only Hyginus, but also by Virgil, another latin author.

Titanomachy

In the time of war Coeus fought bravely with his brothers against Olympians but was after defeat imprisoned in Tartarus like the rest of his brothers. When in Tartarus, according to Valerius Flaccus, Coeus had escaped free of his adamantine bonds and in his madness wanted to escape from the underworld and reach heavens, seeking revenge. But was in the end restrained by Cerberus, the three-headed beast, which guarded gates of Hades and prevented anyone from leaving. However, according to Aeschylus’ lost play , he was later released byZeus from Tartarus with the rest of the titans. Also, it is said by some researchers that Coeus then fled back to his north pole and became known as the north star.

Prophetic family

As mentioned above, Coeus was also a god of heavenly oracles. He was believed to be able to hear prophetic voices of his father Uranus(heaven), just like Phoebe could hear prophetic voices of her mother Gaea(earth). Together they had two daughters who inherited powers of their parents. Leto was a goddess of modesty and motherhood and was associated with prophetic power of light and heaven, while Asteria was a goddess of oracles and prophecies. She was associated with prophetic power of night and the dead. Leto represented the light time of a day, while, in contrast, Asteria represented with the night time of a day. These contrary qualities were also passed to their descendants. Apollo inherited the power of the light from his mother Leto and Hecate inherited the power of the night from Asteria.

Still there is no source with clear statement of Coeus being prophetic except having a prophetic family. Being able to predict the future in his case might have come from his intelligence and divine knowledge that he was so eager to gain from his predecessors. Perhaps that is why he was also identified as the god of wisdom. Having knowledge is one thing, but being able to truly understand it and use it for predicting future natural occurrences and events is being wise.

 

Dream Interpretation and Symbolism – Dream Interpretation and Symbolism

(SIDE NOTE: We can read many different theories for what dreams may mean. So, take away from each post on dreams interpretation and symbols what is relevant to you.)

Dreams About Falling – Meaning and Interpretation from mydreamsymbolism.com

Dreams about falling are one of the most common dreams. They usually occur in the first stage of sleep, accompanied by muscle spasms in your legs, arms and the whole body.

When dreaming such dreams, you might feel your body contracting, which might even wake you up.

These dreams are very revealing about your inner state, so you must never overlook their meaning, especially if you dream often about falling.

This dream is a probably an indication of your instability, insecurity or anxiety. Maybe you feel overwhelmed about some situation, which might be out of control, possibly in your work or in your relationship. Maybe it seems as if there’s nothing to hold on to.

In dreams about falling, you usually wake up before you hit the ground. These dreams might also indicate losing control in some aspect of your life or some situation.

They can be related to relationships, work, home, etc. Maybe you have problems with letting go of something, like your status or power or even control.

These dreams might also indicate your sense of failure in some situation. Maybe you fear failure in important areas of your life, such as school, job, or love. Maybe you have lost your confidence.

Dreams about falling might also be a result of your fear of losing your job or your relationship.

Sometimes these dreams are connected to some internal or external issues which you have been neglecting. There are various reasons for having dreams about falling.

One reason might be the loss of balance in your life. Maybe you don’t have stability. You might also feel pushed by someone. You might be overworking.

Sometimes these dreams can indicate doing something against your will. They might also indicate some repressed aspects of your personality. Maybe you have lost control over your life.

Sometimes they indicate trying to hold onto a situation and fix something you cannot control and doesn’t serve you anymore. That might be a certain issue in your relationship, with your friends or your family.

This dream might be warning you to be more cautious. Sometimes it indicates a big crisis in your life. Maybe you fear for your safety or financial security. Maybe you have some major problems and struggles.

You might be frightened about losing everything in life. Maybe you feel helpless, because you cannot change anything. You might feel exhausted, because you have reached your maximum in some situation. Maybe you need to slow down a bit.

Falling on your back might indicate the need for some more support and if you fell in the water, maybe you feel overwhelmed with emotions and emotionally breaking down.

If you were feeling alright while falling, maybe this dream indicates some unexpected favorable changes.

Sometimes these dreams might be caused by problems which people around you have and you feel stressed about not being able to help them.

These dreams don’t always have to indicate some bad things. Often they are a sign of change happening soon.

If you weren’t afraid while falling, this dream might indicate not being serious about an important situation you cannot control anymore. Maybe you are irresponsible or avoid responsibilities.

This dream might also indicate failing to achieve some goal you have set yourself.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

If you find it hard to follow through on your plans and goals today, cut yourself some slack. You really do want to make some improvements, especially to your appearance and your physical health. However, it’s hard to summon the energy and follow-through to do anything.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

When I was young and I put too much food on my plate, my dad used to say, “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach”. Today you might feel this way about many things. Privately, you’re gung-ho to make some sweeping changes –but who has the energy?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A friend or a charitable organization might inspire you to help someone in need. There’s a strong possibility that you will contribute money or share your own possessions because you feel genuine sympathy for those who have more problems than you. (Bravo!)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Even though you are high viz. today and people seem to know personal details about your private life; nevertheless, it will be tough to muster the energy necessary to impress others with your accomplishments. Relax. Just do what you can. This is a slo-mo day for everyone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you have strong opinions when discussing controversial subjects with others. You might want to convince someone to see your way of thinking because you identify strongly with your own beliefs. This means you want to “reform” others. Don’t be too zealous.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to make improvements to the way you deal with shared property or something that is jointly held. Your challenge will be to follow through on your ideas because it might be tough to convince friends or groups to go along with you. Oh well.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might attract someone to you today who has feisty, intense ideas. This could be a close friend or a partner or even a member of the general public. Although you want to put your ideas into action as well, you just don’t have the energy – not today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be keen to do something to improve your health today. Likewise, you might want to introduce reforms at work or how you do your job. However, instead your mind might drift off into never-never land planning future escapes to someplace appealing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Because you feel some genuine sympathy for someone who might be going through a hard time, you’ll be generous with your time and money, and possibly the resources of someone else. (Be careful not that you don’t give away the farm.) This could relate to finding ways to benefit children or the arts.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you have ideas about how to make some improvements at home, especially to areas related to garbage, recycling, laundry or bathrooms. Don’t count on help from others because their promises might not come through. You’re on your own.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Before you step up on that soapbox to convince someone to agree with your ideas today, ask yourself if you have the energy to follow through. Initially, you might be keen to rally your troops and set them marching. Very likely, your energy will fizzle out or you’ll be distracted. (“Guilty!”)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might lend your energy to creative enterprises today, like sports events, fun activities with kids or more likely, ways to benefit these same areas. If so, you will have novel ideas about how to raise money and beat the bushes for some support for any cause that you want to endorse. People will listen to you today.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Nicola Walker (1970) shares your birthday today. You are energetic, proud and independent. You drive yourself hard (sometimes too much so). This is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to let go of people, places and things that might be holding you back. Commune with nature this year.
