Spell for Sunday – Leaf Spell for Release

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

Leaf Spell for Release

Take a walk in nature and reflect on what no longer serves you. Collect a leaf and use it to cast this spell to let go pain and the past so you can summon peace and restore your sense of inner harmony.

I love casting this spell in fall, especially around the fall harvest festival known as Mabon. The fall is a wonderfully transformative time. As the leaves begin to change color and drop to the ground, we are reminded that sometimes we need to let go in order to change.

ITEMS NEEDED

leaf
ziploc bag
chopstick or something similar

STEPS

1. Go for a walk outside and reflect on what you would like to let go of

2. Collect a newly fallen leaf

3. Place the leaf in a ziploc bag and use the chopstick to “write” the thing you want to let go of on the leaf. Press on the leaf through the ziploc bag firmly enough to see the marks on the leaf, but be careful not to tear the leaf.

4. Take the leaf outside. Focus on releasing what no longer serves you and recite the incantation below. Let go of the leaf and release it back to nature.

“The past I leave with this leaf,

let go of pain and summon peace”

Current Moon Phase

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

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

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on September 10 has an illumination of 18%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On September 10 the Moon is 25.43 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, September 10 to Saturday, September 16, 2023

Click here to read Georgia Nicols Daily, Weekly and Monthly Horoscopes

All Signs

This week, during Thursday’s Solar eclipse, the Sun will line up with unpredictable Uranus, triggering sudden new opportunities that spring up out of nowhere! This should be good news! But here’s the catch. Right now, Mercury is retrograde, which means it’s a bad time to initiate new projects. So, how to handle this? Analyze what is happening. If this is truly a new opportunity, then do your homework and wait until Friday the 15th to act because Mercury goes direct that day. Perhaps a new opportunity will present itself in the context of what you’re already doing? Then you can act! Nevertheless, purchases of transportation, computers and cell phones should wait until the shadow is over on Sept 30. (Sigh.) Life is tough. And I’m not a ballerina and I never had a pony.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep your eyes peeled this week because unexpected opportunities will come to you, probably late in the week. They will be related to your job, your earnings, cash flow, wealth, assets or your belongings. Very likely, this is a chance to boost your earnings or get a better paying job. Almost certainly, you will get richer with whatever presents itself. However, the opportunity that arises will have a short window of time, so you will have to act fast! Read All Signs above for some of the nuances about if you can act right away or not. Fortunately, if it’s related to setting something new in motion, even a job, if you wait until Friday, when Mercury goes direct, it should be okay. Meanwhile, great week to party!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week will lead to some exciting discoveries and occurrences for you, especially as the week wears on. You might receive a surprising invitation. You might have a chance to go on a vacation. Might receive an offer related to the entertainment world, show business or the arts. It might also be an opportunity to explore something in the hospitality industry. Others will explore something related to the care and education of children or something surprising related to one of your own kids. Romance is also another area full of surprises. Love at first sight might happen for some of you. Do know whatever happens will have a short window of opportunity, so if you need to act – act quickly!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is an exciting week for you because there’s been a lot going on at home and with family, especially with family members you haven’t seen for a while. No doubt, people have been camped out on your doorstep, sleeping on your sofa and eating out of your fridge. But many of you have been able to make some headway with home repairs, hopefully, with the help of family members. As this week progresses, expect some surprises related to family or related to your home. Quite likely, they will be opportunities to buy something high tech, make a modern improvement, buy modern art or do something you didn’t expect – fresh and different! Read All Signs above. Do your homework.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week has a roller coaster aspect to it because unexpected events will impact your daily pace and your daily routine, especially toward the end of the week. In the latter part of the week, surprise opportunities to meet new faces, see new places and explore new ideas will suddenly present themselves. This could be an offer to go to school, take a course, write a book, publish a book or travel with a friend or even a group. Whatever happens might make you feel younger and more excited about life. Be bold and get ready to explore something fresh! You’ll have to act quickly because your window of opportunity will be brief.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Get ready for a surprise (especially in the last half of the week) that affects your earnings, your wealth, your salary and your assets. It might be a chance for you to earn money in a new way? It might be a new job? You might buy something new that is unusual or high tech? You might experience something that gives you an increased profile in the world – more self-respect or status. “I’m somebody!” Whatever happens will require a swift decision because this window of opportunity is brief. Get ready because you can’t dally. (Very likely, whatever it is will be of benefit to you.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

When the Solar eclipse takes place in your sign (oh yes) on Thursday, it will also line up with unpredictable Uranus, triggering unexpected opportunities for you! This could be an opportunity to suddenly travel somewhere? You might suddenly entertain a move or think about relocating. You might wonder about a makeover? You might meet someone new who is unusual? You might decide to do something you never thought you would do before but it will expand your world and probably make you feel younger and excited. Stay light on your feet and mentally flexible so that you can make the most of this moment. Because this window of opportunity will be brief – you’ll have to act fast.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Most signs will have something unexpected, perhaps exciting that occurs in their life this week. However, for you, whatever happens will occur in a private way, perhaps in your inner world? It might be a shift in your inner awareness of a belief system, or you might feel a sudden spiritual connection with a group. It could be a private “Ah ha!” moment of realization or a revelation. Whatever it is will give you more hope in yourself and make you feel younger and more adventurous about life. You will feel that you want to do the best that you can do with the time that is left to you. Meanwhile this is a popular week! Enjoy the company of friends, especially artistic people. Carpe diem!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This will be an interesting week for you because for starters, it’s a popular time for you. You might be involved with younger people more than usual, especially people you know from your past. You make a wonderful impression on everyone, especially bosses and authority figures who see you as attractive and charming. However, towards the end of the week, you might meet someone new and unusual. Or someone you already know might suggest something that is kind of mind blowing to you. Whatever happens will shift you. You will see things with new eyes. You might see new possibilities, which in turn encourage you to embrace new goals. Be open to whatever happens.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The Sun and Mercury retrograde are at high noon in your chart, which encourages encounters with authority figures you haven’t seen for a while. Travel for pleasure still appeals; while some of you are physically active and competitive with sports and groups of people. Towards the end of this week, when the Solar eclipse occurs, it will happen at the top of your chart, which means something surprising and unexpected might be revealed to you. This could come to you through a boss or someone in authority. It might even push you into a new direction? Keep an open mind so that you can receive whatever this “message” is! (Write if you get work.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have the promise of an exciting week ahead because there’s a lot going for you right now. For starters, you’re pumped with ambition and energy right so you are ready to make things happen! Meanwhile, others are supportive to you. You might receive money or practical help from someone. (In fact, you might be having a mad, passionate romance with someone.) However, what is exciting and promising for you is that toward the end of the week, the Solar eclipse will release unexpected opportunities to travel, to get further education or training, or achieve something exciting related to the law, medicine or publishing. Whatever it is will expand your world!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Stay on your toes because this week, especially later this week, something surprising and unusual will impact your wealth, your assets, your debt or your financial arrangement with someone, especially a partner or spouse. You might suddenly receive an inheritance? Money or favours might come to you? It is possible that instead of a windfall it’s not good news – but the likelihood is that it is something pleasant that pleases you. It could be an offer to share something with someone? Whatever it is – please be aware of the fact that this window of opportunity will be brief, which means you have to act fast. Keep that in mind. You snooze – you lose.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In some way, shape or form, your friendships, partnerships and close relationships might undergo a big change this week. This is because the Solar eclipse on Thursday is taking place directly opposite your sign, which traditionally would mean this is your chance to think about what you can do to improve your closest relationships. However, at the same time, wild, unpredictable Uranus is in the picture triggering something sudden and unusual! A partner or close friend might do or say something you least expect? Or you might be introduced to someone; or you might meet someone who is unusual who changes your life? Whatever happens, will happen quickly?

A Laugh for Today – Contains a Swear Word

I am sorry I have run out of time today to finish the last 2 or 3 monthly posts. The September birthstone, flower, etc. and all the holidays will go up tomorrow when I finish Thursday’s and the tomorrow posts for Friday. I apologize for any inconvenience my not getting the Celtic Tree Month and September Monthly posts on time may have caused anyone. I thank you for your understanding and patience and support while I was recovering from COVID over the last couple of weeks!

Gardening Moon Calendar – September 2023

(You can print or save to your computer any part or all the information below.)

Source: mooncalendar.astro-seek.com

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

	Leaf days (Water Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants from which the intention is to use Leaves and Stems. Ex: Cabbage, Salads, Lettuce, Spinach, Green onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Celeriac. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Harvesting in Leaf days is not recommended (products start decomposing in a shorter time). Beekeeping: Working with the hive is not recommended in Leaf days.
	Fruit days (Fire Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants that produce Fruits and Seeds. Ex: Cherry, Strawberry, Tomato, Pea, Bean, Corn, Pumpkin, Nut, Cereal, Courgette. Harvesting in Fruit days allows fruits and seeds to have a better storage quality. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Beekeeping: Fruit days stimulate the collection of nectar. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.
	Root days (Earth Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate Root plants and Root vegetables. Ex: Carrot, Turnip, but also Potato, Beet-root, Garlic, Onion, Leek. Crop should be stored in Root days. Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.

Prepare for a Celestial Rollercoaster: 7 Planets in Retrograde this September

Prepare yourselves, for the cosmic chaos is upon us once again. Brace for impact as we delve into a period where seven powerful planets embark on their retrograde journey simultaneously.

Yes, you heard it right – Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will all take a step back through the celestial sphere, sending ripples of disruption throughout their respective astrological realms.

But what exactly does it mean when a planet goes retrograde? Although the term may sound ominous, it’s important to note that this backward motion is merely an optical illusion.

Nevertheless, ancient astrologers associated the appearance of a reversing planet with significant earthly events, which has been upheld in modern astrology.

Retrogrades often bring forth challenges that compel us to reevaluate our beliefs, habits, and circumstances, even if we may not feel entirely prepared.

It’s important to remember, however, that not all retrogrades are harbingers of doom. Embedded within their cosmic dance lies an opportunity for reflection, reassessment, and reimagination – the ‘re’ in retrograde.

Now is the time to confront any lingering unresolved issues in our lives. Whether it be our physical well-being, communication skills, relationships, career paths, responsibilities, or personal empowerment – the retrograde energy offers a fertile ground for growth and transformation.

Embrace this period as a chance for self-mastery, where you can reclaim your power and steer your life towards a brighter future. Mark September 4th, 2023, in bold on your calendars, dear friends.

The Full Moon for this month will occur later in the month on Friday, September 29th. The New Moon is earlier in the month on Friday, September 15th.

September’s full moon is known as the Full Harvest Moon, as it is the full moon that is closest to the fall equinox. In the northern hemisphere, the Full Harvest Moon rises very soon after sunset, providing plenty of bright light for farmers harvesting their summer crops. September’s full moon is so well-known for its luminosity and brilliance that certain Native American tribes even named it the Big Moon. The Full Harvest Moon holds major cultural significance in many different communities, who spend this full moon not just celebrating the fall harvest, but also the moon itself.

The most widely known tradition associated with the Full Harvest Moon is the Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated by Chinese communities all around the world. It is also known as the Mooncake Festival. On the full moon night of the eighth lunar month, people gather with friends and family to admire the brilliant full moon while eating mooncakes and drinking tea. Mooncakes are a rich pastry traditionally filled with sweet bean paste or lotus seed paste, and sometimes even include salted egg yolks. The sweet osmanthus flower also blooms during this time, and is often used in teas and the reunion wine drunk when visiting with family. It is a common tradition to celebrate by carrying brightly colored lanterns, so you can often enjoy the beautiful sight of lanterns hanging in front of buildings or in parks, or sky lanterns floating towards the full moon.

There are many other variations on the Mid-Autumn Festival throughout Asia, including Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. The Japanese celebrate this full moon with the Tsukimi tradition (which literally means moon-viewing in Japanese), where people prepare offerings to the moon and eat round tsukimi dango, or rice dumplings. In Korea, this full moon is celebrated as Chuseok, which is one of Korea’s most major holidays, similar to Thanksgiving. People travel back to their hometowns for reunions with their family and tend to their ancestors’ graves. Traditional activities include exchanging gifts, playing folk games, drinking rice wine, and eating songpyeon, which is a rice cake shaped like a half-moon.

For most of the cultures that celebrate variants of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the desserts eaten during this festival are made using fruits, nuts, and grains harvested during this season. Similarly, the Full Harvest Moon is called the Nut Moon by the Cherokee tribes, who gather all sorts of nuts to make nut bread, which is eaten during harvest festivals such as the Ripe Corn Festival. During this moon, Native American tribes pay respects to Mother Earth for her generosity in providing food for her children, including corn and other staple foods.

Chinese communities, on the other hand, spend the Mid-Autumn Festival worshipping the Moon Goddess, Chang’e. According to legends about Chang’e, there used to be ten suns in the sky, which caused drought and suffering throughout the land. Houyi, a talented archer, shot down nine of the suns to save the world, and was rewarded with the position of emperor. Unfortuantely, he later became a malevolent tyrant, obsessed with the search for an immortality pill. In order to protect the common folk from being ruled over forever by a cruel emperor, his wife Chang’e stole the elixir of immortality from him during the full moon of the eighth lunar month. Enraged, Houyi chased after Chang’e, who swallowed the elixir to prevent Houyi from taking it. As a result, Chang’e became a deity herself and flew away to the moon, where she lives in a Moon Palace with her companion the Jade Rabbit, who pounds herbs in a pestle to help her create the elixir of immortality. Appropriately, the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program is named after Chang’e.

Spell For Binding a Toxic Or Harmful Person

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

Source: modwitchofthewest.wordpress.com

The Last-Quarter Moon is when the Moon is three-quarters through its orbit around Earth. This is when the Moon is Waning (going from Full back to the New Moon).

Just as the moon is “shedding” its illumination, this is a time think about what you need to shed from yourself. What do you need to release? What is no longer serving you? Is it a negative thought pattern? A relationship? A feeling? This is the perfect time to banish, cast away, bind, scream, and yell in hopes to lighten our load as we approach the New Moon and Her fresh energies.

There may be some months where you have nothing you think you need to get rid of or release from your life…and this is okay! It isn’t completely necessary to remove something during this time. It’s not a requirement that you do. But it is one of the best times to do this if you do have something needing of release. Maybe you’re still working on releasing yourself of something from the month before, this is okay, too! Keep working on that thing, you don’t want to overload yourself with things needing to be banished. Don’t overwhelm yourself. This is a time to release things to better yourself, and taking on more than you can handle will, more than likely, bring you down rather than lift you up.

A Binding Spell for a Toxic Or Harmful Person

-This is a spell that can be used for when someone isn’t respecting boundaries or not listening to you when you feel they are abusing your energy or help. THIS DOES NOT CURSE OR HEX THEM; rather it works on a subtle level to bind their negative energy up so they can’t influence you or be a burden on you.

What you’ll need:

A picture of the person or one of their belongings (lock of hair, sample of handwriting, piece of clothing, etc.);

A black candle

A lighter or matches

Red thread

A pen and paper

Water

Sage

Onyx or Tourmaline.

Ritual

Ground yourself & Cast a Circle – breath deeply into the base of your spine as you connect to the Earth. Imagine energy rising up your spine into your heart. Imagine the Universe beaming a light into the crown of your head, moving through your heart, and mingling with your personal energy. Keep breathing deeply and acknowledge this power. Use a wand, athame, or your finger and walk clockwise as you cast your circle.
Call in the Elements – Do this however you normally do it, walking clockwise from North around to West.
Focus on Your Intention and Bind That Shit Up – Keep breathing. Find your connection to the Earth. Have a clear intention about who or what you are trying to bind. Take the photo and write: “I bind [their name]” and then what it is you are binding them from. If you are using their belongings, write this on a piece of paper. Then, read that petition out loud. It can be something like this, or unique to yourself: “I [your own name] bind [their name]. I bind [their name] in the name of the Universe. I bind [their name] from harming me in the name of the Elements. I bind [their name] by my name. So it is (Or any other closing you normally do).” Once you are finished with the petition, fold up the piece of paper while imaging the person being caught in the folds like a golden lasso; strong enough that they can never escape (unless you choose to reverse this). Keep focusing as you wrap up the piece of paper with the red string. Repeat the petition: “I bind [their name]” thirteen times while wrapping the string.
Light the Candle – Place the Onyx or Tourmaline around the black candle. Now place the petition in front of this, making sure any items belonging to the person are next to it. Light the candle and repeat what you said before, about binding them by your name and the name of the Universe and Elements. Once this is said, take a few breaths to connect with your intention. Let the candle burn all the way down, placing it into a sink or fire-safe bowl if you have to (birthday candles are a great way to do spells that require candles to burn down, as it takes minutes as opposed to hours for a larger candle).
Dismiss the Elements – However you choose to do it, but walking counterclockwise now, from West to North.
Close the Circle & Ground Yourself – Close the circle with whichever tool you used to cast it. Walk in a counterclockwise direction, feeling the energy moving back into your hand, up your arm, through your body, and back into the Earth. Once you get back to the front of the circle, press you forehead into the ground and imagine any excess energy returning to the Earth.
Disposal – One the New Moon, bury the wax and the petition at a crossroads, or burn it and flush it down the toilet (if you do this, make sure the materials are not harmful to the environment), or dispose of it at an intersection.

*This spell was taken from Inner Witch by Gabriela Herstik (told y’all, it’s my favorite book). And, again, I am under the assumption that, if you are doing spells, you already have a way of calling on the Elements, dismissing them, and casting/closing a circle.

I hope this helps Witches and non-Witches to think about ways to get rid of things or people that are toxic in their lives. This is, obviously, a practice that is not specific to Witchcraft, as all people need to rid their lives of toxicity. Maybe you don’t use spells to do it, but it is important to do it regardless. This is the perfect time to do it!

After the seriousness of the Spell for Saturday post I thought we could use a laugh and some crazy dance moves for today or any day. So, let’s get our groove on! Enjoy your day. I am planning to.
