Day: August 23, 2023

UGH…I Guess this just Isn’t my Day

Our part of town is in a brown out, meaning the amount of electronic we can have on is minimal, until 8 PM CT. So I will get the rest if Thursday’s regular posts up in the morning and hopefully Friday’s as well. As I write this on my cell/mobile phone our heat index is 119⁰ F (sorry I don’t know C temp except damn hot). Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. Now I know for someplace these are normal summer temperatures but not for where I live in central Illinois, USA.

Remember to drink extra water and sports types drinks. While staying away from those with a lot of sugar or caffeine. Check on elderly neighbors, friends, and relatives as often as you can daily.

A Quick Word About Thursday’s Posts

My right-hand witch, Graphia, and her 2 daughters are in a dangerous home situation crisis for which I had to call an emergency coven meeting in a couple of hours. Unfortunately, that means I probably won’t get all of the tomorrow, Thursday’s posts done for today and they will have to go up tomorrow. Right now, I am, as an old friend would say, trying to stuff 10 pounds of shit in a 5-pound bag. Getting up to hours later than I wanted to did not help either. All I can do is my best at this moment in time without sending myself into more of an anxiety attack than I am in right now.

If you could be so kind as to send protection for all three of them, I know she and I would greatly appreciate it. If you want her daughter’s names, please email me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. As they are minors and young just developing witches, I do not feel comfortable putting their names here where anyone in the world could see them and possibly do them harm instead of good. I am overly cautious with things like this because I personally receive at least 1 threating email including death threats once a week. Don’t worry I have very solid protection around myself, home, Big Dwag and our 3 fur kids at all times. I have a dome over our home that at night will wake me from a sound sleep if any human crosses through its perimeter. I will be sharing how to make one in next week’s Patreon Weekly Spell and All In One Tiers.

Anyone out there reading and an empath or may not even an empath can probably feel my nervous, chaotic energy while writing this. I will be back this afternoon sometime to do the tomorrow posts after the coven gathering which will let me calm down quite a bit as I will know they are even more protected from their abuser/tormentor. I am sorry if this post repeats itself or doesn’t make sense.

Wednesday is just a lucky day. When doing money work, I love to do it on a Wednesday. I enchanted my own website using geomantic glyphs during a waxing moon on a what? A Wednesday. Acquisitio and Conjunctio. Mercury is a quick little dude with those wings on his shoes. Travel, luck, focus, communication are all good on a Wednesday. I also like to divine with cards and charms on this day and have heard it’s also great for runes. Another thing about this day and an interesting note is that if you are doing any kind of spell to distract, hide or mislead, this is the day for such fuckery. Mercury is a sneaky little dude. Play the lottery or lay some tricks. See what happens. I don’t judge and most likely wanna hear all about these things anyway. Great day to say what the f**k you really mean.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Crescent Phase. Best seen in the west after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. This is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Visit the August 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
