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.

Six of Wands – Minor Arcana

Success after hard work

A woman with a small dragon on her shoulder stands with a crown on her head. A five-point star is centered on her forehead, directly over the spiritual third eye. This symbolizes the woman’s connection with spiritual guidance and her access to ancient knowledge.  Before her is a table covered with rolled scrolls, quill pens, and other magickal equipment. Prominently to the front is a brass vase holding six crystal topped wands. Other small dragon fly and sit about the room. The star (pentacle of protection and a symbol of the Goddess) and the crown (spiritual enlightenment) reveal that this magician is on a higher path of life. She has gathered her will power (the wands) and placed them in a position to bring about fertility an manifestation (the vase). This fertile energy is repeated in the Celtic scrollwork carved into the table, the magician’s center for working her will.

Divinatory Meaning: You are rewarded with success after hard work. A message of good news brightens your day. There could be advancement in career. Supportive friends give you the courage to follow your dreams.

Tinne/Teine

T stands for Tinne, or Teine, the Holly tree. This evergreen plant is connected to immortality, unity, courage, and the stability of hearth and home. Pronounced chihnn-uh by the Celts, the wood of the Holly was often used in the construction of weapons, and is known as a plant of warriors and protectors.

In the pre-Christian British Isles, the Holly was often associated with protection–planting a hedge around your home would keep malevolent spirits out, thanks in no small part to the sharp spikes on the leaves. In Celtic myth, the concept of the Holly King and the Oak King symbolizes the changing of the seasons, and the transition of the earth from the growing time to the dying season.

When Christianity moved into the Celtic lands, the new religion associated the Holly plant with the story of Jesus. The poky spikes on the leaves represent the crown of thorns worn by Jesus on the cross, and the bright red berries symbolize his blood.

Everything you need to know about hag stones

Everything you need to know about hag stones

Hag Stones are just any type of stone that has a naturally occuring hole through it, but are considered sacred objects.

It is believed that magick cannot work on moving or running water, and it’s holes are created by the energy of the element of water as it runs acrosss stones and “traps” smaller ones into crevices.

These smaller stones act as drill bits and the longer they stay under running water, the deeper the hole gets until it goes all the way through. The earth power of the stones combined with water and wind make them so magical.

The best place to find them is on a dry river bed or any place that running water has receeded. The flat river bed presents itself as the water level lowers and you can find many of them.

The Lore

In some folk magic practices, these stones are believed to ward off or break hexes, sickness and nightmares. I think most of that came from an old tale that tells that cureses and bad luck are caused by spectral hags.

It is said that when you look through the stone itself, you can see other realms. Some traditions state that you can see the Fae, other dimensions and even nature spirits.

You can hold it up and look at the full moon through them and speak your desires or what you want to get rid of.

These stones have been used as amulets, talismans, in spell work and in ritual to both present the 3 elements and to protect. Since magick doesn’t work in running water, you can use to get rid of hexes and curses, especially when you trap something inside of that hole and take it back down to the river to wash it away and let the water carry it all away from you.

Worn as protection, these were also used as a “toll” to counteract workings against you and paid the witch’s price.

Hanging on a black ribbon or thread over the doorway or window, it is said to “trap” negative energies and can also be used for dreamwork when hung over the bed.

You can hang them in your work area, across windows and door ways, wear them or use them to enhance that “witches” eye by working with the energy of the stones.

These powerful stones are said to help open up your witch or third eye.

The Work

Tie a hag stone to a protection candle.

Tie a stone and hang above your working altar to keep negative energies away.

Use as your “eye” to fire or water scry.

Carry it with you.

Hang one in your car to protect you while on the road.

Hang one over your bed to trap nightmares.

Hang one over your front door to take any bad energy that walks into your house.

Place around water, fire or candle magick with other protective herbs to enforce your circle.

Hide one in your front flower bed.

Saille/Suil

Associated with the willow tree, Saille corresponds to letter S. Willow trees are associated with the moon and water. However, the tree used in the ogham alphabet isn’t the famous weeping willow, but the pussy willow.

Since it’s sacred to the moon, it also embodies the association of imagination, intuition, and instinct, as well as flexibility and flow. Also, it’s regarded as sacred to the Welsh goddess Ceridwen who rules over the moon.

Numerology

Seven

Seven, among numbers of the numerological core, is about wisdom, sophistication, high level of education and a philosophical attitude to life. The influence of this number defines you as a person who can achieve much, if not everything. Nature has granted you with sharp analytical mind, originality of thought and skillful fingers. There is hardly a field of activity you would be totally unsuitable for. That is why your personal image is not too appealing. The feeling of superiority gives rise to intolerance and cynical attitude to others’ weaknesses. And people don’t like those who look down on them.

Positive qualities

The main strength of the Seven is the ability to think. Think for real. That is, they can set a question and then use logic, erudition and insight to find the answer.

In fact, quite a few are capable of doing such, which gives you a distinct advantage in most situations. It is quite natural that people regard you as a wise advisor.

Another positive quality is your inner tranquility. You can fire up and start yelling because of any trifle, but it is virtually impossible to bring you out of balance and make you lose your head.

Negative qualities

Clearly negative features of the Seven are their inherent cynicism, misanthropy, groundless suspicion and certain wildness in their behavior.

You do not care about what they think or say, so you do not give yourself trouble to show good manners, or even common courtesy. If you want to, you can “teach a lesson in etiquette” in such an insulting form that the other person will feel offended.

Moreover, you seize every moment to demonstrate your independence and unwillingness to be part of the crowd. So you will never become a darling of all hearts.

Seventy – Six

Basic meaning of angel number “76”

Angel number “76” means that the path you are choosing is right and that if you keep going, you will seize the opportunity and gain success.

However, be aware that you can be negative yourself, so keep in mind that you are positive.

Angels are worried that negative feelings can make them more likely to think in the wrong direction and become more obsessed with their actual actions.

Understand that your destiny can change for the better with your heart.

Moon Phases And Simple Rituals

Source: wiccaacademy.com

Through the ages, the Moon has always identified as a celestial body that links to our emotions. There are many different religions that place an importance on the Moon. These religions range from pagan to organized religion. The moon’s lunar cycle is often used as a way to mark calendars and specific rituals are associated with each moon phase.

Like its natural counterpart, the Sun, the Moon also has a myriad of gods and goddesses linked to it. Not to mention the hundreds of myths and legends centering around the Moon. Have you ever used the phrase, ‘once in a blue moon’ or ‘there must be a full moon tonight’? Well those are a few examples of how the Moon was referred to calculate time and also tied to specific emotions.

So how does any of this relate to Wicca? (Witchcraft most traditions)

The Moon is often associated with the element Water and femininity. One of the most distinct symbols in Wicca that features the Moon is the Triple Moon Goddess. It contains three different phases; the waxing, full and waning moon phases.

A brief run down behind the meaning of this symbol is that it represents the three forms of the Goddess: The Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. When these three are together, it creates the complete experience of Feminine Power. It is a great symbol to use to form a connection with one’s feminine side. Let it be a reminder that everything in life is the way it’s meant to be.

Of course this isn’t a new symbol by any means. Archaeologists discovered a stone sculpture of the Goddess Hecate (Goddess of Magic) depicted as three goddesses in a single entity has been dated back to 5 B.C.E. The Goddess Demeter was also depicted as a tri-goddess throughout various stages of history.

If you aren’t familiar with the basic signs and symbols of Wicca, check out the course we offer on that subject. Sign up for a free account and we’ll grant you access.

But why are different moon phases important?

There are energies associated with different moon phases. Each one is great for utilizing in specific rituals and spells.

First Quarter Moon

The first quarter moon and third quarter moon phase are similar. They are both illuminated halfway through. This happens because the Sun is side by side with the Moon. The Moon has reached half its power during these two phases. The first quarter phase illuminates on the right side while the third quarter is on the left side.

The first quarter phase is great for inner reflection and taking stock of what is around you. Take the time to celebrate your own achievements. It’s also an excellent time to start planning rituals for the full moon phase. The laws of attracting material objects are strongest during this period too. Manifest these objects by journaling.

Questions to ask include:

What did I do in the past month that I would like to improve on?

What are some decisions that I made that I’ve regretted in the last month?

What can I manifest in the next month that can push myself forward? Either as a person or from the current situation I am in now.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, November 19 to Saturday, November 25, 2023

All Signs

A repeated warning for those who want to buy a car, truck, bike (any form of ground transportation) or a computer or cell phone in the next few months. Please know that Mercury is retrograde from Dec 12 to Jan 1, 2024. However, I recommend the buffer dates (when Mercury slows down before hand – and afterwards before it catches up to the degree it went retrograde.) These dates are: Dec. 5 – to Jan 21, 2024. Just saying….. This week the Sun enters Sagittarius to stay for four weeks. This will give everyone the travel bug! It will also boost our enthusiasm for life and encourage outdoor activities. Of course, Sagittarius is the philosopher of the zodiac, which is why we will ponder profound thoughts – like the fact that all the ancient Greek philosophers are now dead, and probably most of them died in Greece.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Good news! This week the Sun enters your fellow Fire Sign, which is supportive — like the third leg on a three-legged stool. This happens twice a year, four months before and four months after your birthday. You can expect your general energy level to get a boost; plus, you will have increased confidence to make plans for your future. This will be a good time to take stock and survey your past achievements. You will want to travel. You might also be hungry to learn and study new things, which is why some of you might take a course or ponder going back to school. An exciting month ahead!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week the Sun changes signs, which means in the next four weeks, you will be more focused on financial matters, especially shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. You might be involved with the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. You might sign important papers or negotiate finances. Fortunately, coworkers are supportive. Furthermore, with lucky Jupiter in your sign, you have divine protection. You might meet someone in the next few weeks who challenges your values. This could be healthy. As each year goes by and you learn and experience new things, your values will change in a subtle way.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This week the Sun moves opposite your sign to stay for four weeks. (Happens once a year.) Some things are coming to a culmination; however, relations with authority figures might be challenging. Don’t provoke arguments. Expect to see failures as well as gains. It’s likely you’ll encounter someone whose ambitions conflict with yours. Your personal interactions are important now. Don’t withdraw from others. You will need more sleep in the next four weeks. This is a time when your successes and failures are obvious. This week in particular, accept invitations to socialize and enjoy the company of others, especially children. Romance is blessed!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, you’ll be gung-ho to work hard and get as much done as possible. Your focus will be on efficiency and effectiveness because you want to make every action count. You will be focused more than usual on your health, perhaps seeing ways to boost your health through exercise or healthier eating. You might have to work according to someone else’s needs. You might perform a service or a favour for someone. Or perhaps, someone else is simply calling the shots? You will enjoy redecorating your digs as well as entertaining at home. Meanwhile, Mars will guarantee passionate romance, playful energy and an interest in competitive sports.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Lucky you! This week the Sun enters your fellow Fire Sign, which will be supportive for you in the next four weeks. It’s time to take stock and examine the projects you’ve been working on because some of them will come to a culmination. Success is near at hand. Meanwhile, this is the one time of year when you really want to play and do your own thing! It’s the perfect time to get away on a vacation. Make an effort to enjoy social outings, the theatre, musical performances, sports events, fun activities with kids and mini vacations. You want to set your own priorities and do your own thing. Fortunately, fair Venus will sweeten your words and make you charming and diplomatic.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week the Sun moves to the bottom of your chart, which makes you want to withdraw and enjoy your privacy. You will want more time to contemplate life. Memories from the past might bubble to the surface of your mind. You might be more involved than usual with a parent. Some of you will also tackle home repairs and be involved in family discussions. It’s a time for you to reflect. Meanwhile, you can attract money to you, and you will certainly want to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Fiery Mars in your House of Communications will guarantee lively discussions because you will identify with your beliefs. Oh yeah!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Fasten your seatbelt because the next four weeks will be busy! Errands, appointments plus short trips will be some reasons your schedule will be packed. Many of you will also be reading, writing and studying more than usual. Some will teach. It’s important for you to feel confident about your ability to talk to others because in this window of time, you need to be heard. After all, we’re gregarious creatures. We need to go out to see others as well as to be seen. You are the most sociable sign in the zodiac, so it’s important for you to be bolstered by the knowledge that you have your immediate social network. With your ruler Venus in your sign now, you look mahvellous, dahling!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have energy to burn because with your co-ruler Mars in your sign, you’ll be more of a fighter for your own rights. Because your physical energy is high, you will get a lot done. (Mars is in your sign only once every two years for about six weeks.) Meanwhile, this week the Sun enters your Money House, which increases your focus on cash flow, earnings and your concern about your possessions. Remember George Carlin? “The whole meaning of life is trying to find a place for your stuff!” Now is an excellent time to take stock of what you own and figure out how to get rid of what you don’t need. Actually, more than any other sign, you’re good at purging your “stuff!”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Ta da! This week the Sun moves into your sign to stay for the next four weeks, which will boost your energy and increase your confidence! You will attract people to you as well as favourable situations. Plus, you will make a great impression on others. Mercury in your sign will increase your desire to express yourself, which you will do with conviction. Mercury will also make you want to get out and travel. (A boon!) Meanwhile, Venus in your House of Friendships makes this a great time to schmooze and party with others. Not only will you enjoy time with friends, you will thrive in group settings, business conferences and organizations. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your personal year is drawing to a close. Therefore, in the next four weeks, the Sun will be “hiding” in your chart before it makes its entrance, centre stage in your sign. This is the best time of the year to be contemplative. Make time for self-care and a bit of pampering. Ponder your life. Where you’ve been and where you want to go. What do you want for yourself in the coming year? Now is the time to set goals because they give you a clearer focus on what is important to you. They make decision making easier. Goals will even give you a sense of purpose. Others will ask for your advice about how to make something look better. And if you’re out of town – you’re the expert.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Friendships are important to you. This is why you will bubble with enthusiasm in the next four weeks while the Sun sits in your House of Friendships (the only time all year this happens.) You might ask yourself if you’re hanging out with the right people? (Only be with people who have your back. Life is too short to do otherwise.) You might also be more involved with clubs, groups and organizations, and again, you will ask yourself if you want to be in these groups? “Are these my people?” The next four weeks are an excellent time to set goals, which help to keep you on track. They also make future decision-making easier. Meanwhile, accept all invitations to travel because you’re eager for a change of scenery.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Once a year the Sun sits at the top of your chart for four weeks and casts you in a flattering spotlight. This lovely blessing begins this week! This is why in the next several weeks, you will be admired, even if you don’t do anything special. (Chalk it up to smoke and mirrors.) Obviously this four-week window will be the time to demand the advantage and go after what you want. Ask for permission or approval! (It doesn’t get better than this.) You might also be more involved with a parent than usual. Meanwhile, you’ll be eager to travel. Romance will be affectionate and sizzling. Others will give you with money and practical favours. (We like!) Looking swell!

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.

A Thought for Today

c9a81d9794bbab29730d51d22b99f25a

This is a prayer/spell I really need today. Brain fog is bad from a fibromyalgia flare and not enough sleep. Sitting doing some other posts and I forgot what I was doing in the middle of them…LOL. I have to laugh with myself or I’d be in tears again like earlier in the week. At least the lingering covid symptoms are easing up. Anyway, we’re getting an extra Thought for Today which is a good thing I think.

I wish you all good health and memory!
