Day: June 29, 2023

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends What is On Your Mind Today

Today our Dreamer has been gone physically from us for a week. Yes, today is a hard one again. I know with time it does not get easier with time it just gets different. Dreamer paid a visit to Big Dawg last Saturday and has been hanging out mostly with our three other fur kids which I know has made her crossing easier on them. We picked her ashes up this past Monday and kept it in the car with us as we worked that day. I had one very short visit in the car Monday when we stopped at a McDonald’s for burgers and fries while out delivering important paperwork to individuals, Big Dawg has been a process server for over a month now and I help keep him and all the paperwork organized. We only had the front two windows down a tiny bit, I was getting ready to put some fries in my mouth when I felt someone breathe on my neck. It could have been my familiar before Cleo and Star, but Boots never really liked McDonald’s french fries whereas Dreamer loved them. I called her by name, put a fry on my shoulder and felt her sniffing it. While humans or animals do not eat food as the living do, I thoroughly believe they can take in the smell and essence of it. When I set the fry on my shoulder Big Dawg asked me, “What in the hell are you doing?” I hadn’t told him Dreamer was in the car with us yet as I was being selfish as it was my first interaction with her since she crossed. When I told him we both had to try to hold back tears. I would be harder to bear this lose if we didn’t have each other, meaning the humans and fur kids.

This is one of the times in my life that being a strong empath is a curse rather than a blessing. I am able to pick up any kind of mammal’s feelings so with all of us trying to get use to a new normal of three live fur kids and one spirit fur kid it has been rough on me as I was picking up everyone in the house emotions. Tuesday morning, I finally had enough of feeling everyone else’s emotions and strength the wards and shield I keep around myself so I can leave my home. This is part of the reason why I took yesterday completely off. The other part was the horrible air quality where we live today and this past week, while it was definitely better here than many other parts of Illinois and the northeastern USA it was still bad for both of us as we have asthma. At least the sir is starting to clear some here!

So, this is how things are going for me today.

How are they going for you?

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence and a Spell for Tuesday

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

Tuesday from learnreligions.com

Named for the Norse god Tyr, who was a deity of heroism and combat, Tuesday is a very martial sort of day—color associations include bright red and oranges, as well as warrior-like metals such as iron and steel.

The ancient Romans called this day Martis, after the warrior god Mars—other deities associated with Tuesday include Ares, the Morrighan, and other gods of battle and glory. Red gemstones like rubies and garnets come into play on Tuesdays, as do herbs and plants such as thistles, holly, coneflowers, and cacti—you’ll notice these are all sharp, prickly plants!

One of the interesting—and more than a little amusing—aspects of Tuesday magic is that in addition to war and conflict against your enemies, this is a day also associated with marriage. You can also use this day of the week for magical workings connected to protection and initiation. Use Tuesday to assert yourself, make a mark and stake your claims.

The Introverts Spell

This spell isn’t just for introverts. It’s for anyone who needs a boost of confidence before interacting with other people, such as at parties, speeches, job interviews, or family dinners.

Start by creating a sacred space around you and connecting to your power. Next, interlace your fingers behind your back. If that’s uncomfortable for you, simply relax your shoulders down away from your ears. Imagine your shoulder blades drawing together as your chest and heart opens up to the space in front of and above you. Speak (or think) an affirmation while in this position.

Example Affirmations:

“Everything I need is within.”

“The power of the Universe flows through me.”

“I’m magic.”

It doesn’t matter what you chose to say as long as it’s positive and makes you feel ready to face the world. Saying something like, “I will not mess this up.” won’t work because it puts the focus on “messing up”.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

(People are defiant today.)

It seems that today will prove itself to be quite soliciting financially speaking and you might have to tend to all kinds of practicalities in this respect.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Remember that today you will be receiving exactly what you deserve, nothing more, and nothing less. Depending on how you know yourself be sure these are the things you’ll have to deal with.

Just as the proverb says it, the way you make your bed is the way you sleep. So don’t expect any miraculous winnings or undeserved help.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You should be using this day to get to the point of something that has been troubling you. It is a good time to ask for clarification and to pressure people into explaining you what you need to know.

Show your concerns to those around them and ask them for help. Some unexpected help might come from your partner despite you not wanting them to get involved.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today is going to be all about education and information. You know that knowledge is power and today you are set to add some more power to yourself.

It’s a great time to get hold of a valuable peace of information. It is also a great time to do research, both for school, work or personal reasons. Don’t be afraid of any interview attendance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might have to declare something about your life this day. Be it something business like or that has to do with your taxes or something in your personal life.

The point is that you should be all honest because the truth will eventually surface and you don’t want to either give fake statements or to lead someone close on a wrong path.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You should make the most of the day at work and not postpone anything or leave it to chance. A superior might be watching you and it’s definitely not the time to appear sloppy.

Don’t worry if you get home later because your family will eventually understand you if you explain the situation. The current disposition might not help communications so make sure you deliver your message properly.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today might be quite a slow day, both at work and for your own mood. Maybe it is best for you to focus on research and on actions that are more of observation rather than action.

Later in the afternoon some dynamism might change the air temporarily when the occasion of going out with someone special might rise but you will be quite circumspect about it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you are all serious about your responsibilities and you don’t let any dreamy thought stand in your way. This mindset is the best but you might be hijacked by your own body as some lack of sleep might get to you now.

It is a great time to prove yourself how disciplined you can be just don’t exaggerate with coffee and other stimulants to keep you working artificially.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you will be in the spotlight at work. Maybe there’s a project you just finished or someone promoting you.

Be sure there will be a positive thing getting you at front but the reviews won’t be so optimistic. Not everyone is happy with your position so don’t be surprised when gossip rises. Seize every opportunity this day gets you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today your efforts of conveying an important message will be met with curiosity and surprise. You are either trying to get everyone to be more efficient at work through a new method or maybe trying to get closer to someone you like.

Whether it’s at work or in love, make sure you have a back up plan ready because things won’t go the way you want them to.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You should dedicate this day to your family, especially to the little ones in your life. Don’t be surprised if you receive an unexpected visit from someone you haven’t seen in a while.

Maybe it’s time to get in touch with long estranged relatives or childhood friends. You might even receive an invite to a school reunion of some kind.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you might feel like every criticism that is on earth is headed towards you. It seems that someone close to you is fed up with some of your actions and has finally exploded.

Listen to them and don’t try to apologize because it seems it is kind of late for that. However, try to make amends, acknowledge what you are being accused of and promise it won’t happen again.
