Items needed:
Altar Candle
Day candle (whichever color for the day you be will doing your spell)
(Monday-white Tuesday-red Wednesday-purple Thursday-blue Friday-green Saturday-black Sunday-yellow)
Offertory Candles – 3 Violet candles, 3 White candles
Tools: Athame, Exacto Knife, or needle to inscribe candles
Props: Crystal ball or clear glass of water
Incense: anise, cardamon, and coriander
Oil: jasmine, lemon, rose, and sandalwood
Bathing Herbs: cinnamon, frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood
Timing: Best done during the Mercury hour of the day, although any hour should work. Any moon phase is appropriate.
Preparation:
Breathe deeply and build a ball of protective light around you. While soaking in your ritual bath, meditate on the whole ritual: the steps you will take and what you wish to say to your spirit guide when you make contact.
Ritual:
Enter the circle in the Hour of Mercury. Light the incense. With the oil, dress the Altar Candle and the Day Candle while concentrating on the purpose of the ritual. Light your Altar candle and your Day candle and state your intent:
“I am here to make contact with my Spirit Guide, and to acknowledge him or her”
With your Athame, inscribe Violet Candle #1 with the word “Spirit”. Dress it with oil.
Light the Violet candle #1, direct your energies into it, and say:
“Here do I light the first Lamp of Spirit. May its light reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with that World of Spirit into which we will eventually enter”
Take your censer or incense wand and swing in around censing the whole area around the altar, while rhythmically repeating the word “Merge” and building up energy to focus.
Replace the censer and pick up Violet candle #2. Inscribe it with the word “Spirit” and dress it with the oil. Put it back on the altar, light it, direct your energy into it, and say:
“Here do I light the second Lamp of Spirit. May it’s light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with that World of Spirit and help spread the light, illuminating the passageway between our worlds.”
Again, take the censer or incense wand and cense the entire area around the altar while chanting the word “Merge” Build up your energy to focus. Take violet candle #3, inscribe with the word “Spirit”, dress with oil, charge with your energy, light it and say:
“Here do I light the third Lamp of Spirit.
May its light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May the light from these three lamps blend and grow, dispelling all darkness and lighting the way that my Spirit Guide may come to me and speak with me here today.”
Inscribe the 3 white candles with the word “Truth” and anoint each candle with oil. Light the 3 white candles in order of 1, 2, 3, and say:
“Here do I build Truth. As these candles burn throughout this ritual, their power generates nothing but truth in all that transpires between this world and the next. Through these candles there is truth in all communications that come to me”.
Again, cense the entire altar area while chanting the word “Merge”.
Replace the censer and continue chanting. Sit comfortably while chanting, and gaze into the crystal ball, or the clear glass of water. Continue chanting until you feel it is right to let the chant taper off. Continue to quietly look into the crystal ball or glass, not trying to picture anything. Keep your mind blank, so whatever comes will appear will come in it’s own free will. Gaze into the center of the crystal, there is no need to try not to blink. Look into the crystal and blink naturally. Try not to notice anything in your peripheral vision, just the center of the crystal. Eventually a face or figure will appear. This may take a long time, or it may appear almost immediately. If it doesn’t come at all within approximately 20 minutes, abandon this attempt, extinguish the candles in the order in which they were lit, leave the altar set up, and try this ritual again in three days. You should have results within a month at most.
When a figure does appear, ask if he/she is your Spirit Guide. You will hear an answer. You may not hear it out loud, or even see the figures lips move, but you will be aware of the answer. This is how most of your conversation will proceed. You will ask your questions mentally (or out loud) and the answers will be clear inside your mind.
Ask if you have more than one spirit guide. If yes, ask them to appear also. You may ask anything you wish to know, but it is suggested to establish a connection first where your Spirit Guide may appear to you at any time, or at specific times, so that you can converse with other spirits through him/her. When you have finished speaking with your Guide, thank him/her, then sit for a moment with your eyes closed, meditating on all that you have learned. Extinguish the candles in reverse order to clear the circle.
18 July 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for July 18th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 12.81 days old and 91.28% illuminated with a tilt of 120.136°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 382,398.05 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.
The Moon phase for July 18th, 2024 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Some things are satisfactory while others are not, because this is how life is, right? Well, not so much for you as you tend to have everything straightened and try to play the arm of justice in everything you do today.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The current disposition will help you sort some things out there at work but won’t offer you exact solutions so you will still have to do most of the work on your own, without expecting some miracle solution to kick in.
Not bad after all, as you can consider this challenging moments as experience when you’ll look back to this.
You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
If you want to make a good impression today maybe you should rethink your strategy because it is not really the best approach with the people you want to get in contact with.
So think more about them and what they like and dislike and then reconsider what you want to show of you and the way you want to do it.
You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have quite a few things to consider if you want to advance with this plan you have at work.
And there aren’t even the things you already have on your list to take in account so you should use the time you have before you start to think of what you have overlooked. Might be useful to have some things in writing as well.
You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are very passionate about what you are doing but even like this, you sometimes go overboard with what you are trying to achieve.
And unfortunately, those around you are not sincere or courageous enough to bring that openly to you and they simply gossip about it behind your back. It might be about time for you to realize that.
You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Loyalty is important for you but it appears that so are your feelings and sometimes these can be quite contradictory.
Whether there are some issues of trust between you and your partner or prospective love or something similar, you surely are conflicted inside about what to do next. On one side you would follow your principles but on the other, your heels are quite hot for them.
You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
It appears that every interaction with your partner has suddenly become a constant reminder of something they have done wrong and you find it hard to go past that.
As they are probably able to sense this as well, maybe you should be open about this and explain them why you are behaving the way you do and maybe you will find a solution together.
You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This will be quite a revealing day and will shed some light on something about yourself as well about the relationship you have with your friends and who you can really trust.
So a complex day ahead, and it won’t even require too much attention from you because certain things will be quite clear while others even blatantly obvious.
You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You appear to leave the sensation that you take things easily or that you don’t care too much about something your partner things dearly of.
And we both know that this is the exact recipe for disaster. So in case, this is true, you might need to find better ways to camouflage your disinterest and in case it isn’t true, show your attention better.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You should be a lot more diplomatic and take everything in moderation because nothing is actually that pressing or that essential to deserve for you to ruin your reputation or to appear desperate.
Try to control as much as you can and for the rest, just let it be. Also, maybe take some of the afternoon off to change the air.

Ancient temple and theater 3,500 years older than Machu Picchu discovered in Peru
Archaeologists in Peru have unearthed the remains of what they believe are a 4,000-year-old temple and theater, shining a new light on the origins of complex religions in the region.
The team began studying the new archaeological site of La Otra Banda, Cerro Las Animas, in June. Last year, the local government alerted them to looting that had been taking place near the northern Peruvian town of Zaña, according to a press release from the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, Wednesday.
They excavated a plot roughly 33 feet long and 33 feet wide, finding signs of ancient walls made of mud and clay at just six feet deep.
“It was so surprising that these very ancient structures were so close to the modern surface,” Luis Muro Ynoñán, a research scientist at the Field Museum who led the team, said in the release.
After digging deeper, archaeologists found “one section” of a large temple, Muro Ynoñán said, adding that “one of the most exciting” finds was a small theater “with a backstage area and a staircase that led to a stage-like platform.”
“This could have been used to perform ritual performances in front of a selected audience,” he added
One of the theater’s staircases was flanked by mud panels with an elaborate carved design of a mythological bird-like creature, according to the release. The figure resembled other images of mythological creatures dating to the Initial Period, around 2,000 to 900 BC, giving clues to when the temple was built.
“The Initial Period is important because it’s when we first start to see evidence of an institutionalized religion in Peru,” Muro Ynoñan said, adding that Please click here to read the rest of this article

Cometary Globules
Image Credit & Copyright: Mark Hanson & Martin Pugh, Observatorio El SauceExplanation: What are these unusual interstellar structures? Bright-rimmed, flowing shapes gather near the center of this rich starfield toward the borders of the nautical southern constellations Pupis and Vela. Composed of interstellar gas and dust, the grouping of light-year sized cometary globules is about 1300 light-years distant. Energetic ultraviolet light from nearby hot stars has molded the globules and ionized their bright rims. The globules also stream away from the Vela supernova remnant which may have influenced their swept-back shapes. Within them, cores of cold gas and dust are likely collapsing to form low mass stars, whose formation will ultimately cause the globules to disperse. In fact, cometary globule CG 30 (on the upper left) sports a small reddish glow near its head, a telltale sign of energetic jets from a star in the early stages of formation.

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or major decisions from 9 PM to 9:45 PM EDT today (6 PM to 6:45 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a tricky day. In one way, discussions about family businesses, family money, loans, mortgages and banking support will go well. However, financial surprises are also likely. Therefore, stay alert and be ready for anything because you might have to shift gears quickly.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Friends, spouses and partners will likely surprise you today. Things could go either way because they might be upbeat and enthusiastic; however, they might also be demanding and throw you a curveball. (Yikes.) Stay light on your feet so you can handle the unexpected.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Issues related to your job as well as your health will be positive for the most part today. However, there will be some surprises. Something unexpected might occur, especially behind the scenes. Be on the lookout for someone who privately does not agree with you.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Parents should be vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. However, this is also a wonderful day for surprise invitations, social opportunities, the arts and chances to schmooze with others. Be diplomatic with someone who is competitive.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You’ll be happy to stay at home today or keep a low profile. However, be aware that bosses, parents and someone in authority might catch you off guard in some way. They might have unexpected demands or expectations. Stay light on your feet.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. However, it’s a fascinating day and you are intrigued by unusual things, ideas and events. Relations with friends and members of groups will be positive and reinforcing for you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Unpredictable influences might impact your money and possessions today. For example, you might find money; or you might lose money. Likewise, something you own might be damaged or lost. Nevertheless, discussions with bosses and authority figures might also boost your earnings in some way. It’s a mixed bag.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a powerful day for you because the Moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with the Sun. This will help you to accomplish your goals today. However, the Moon in your sign is also opposite unpredictable Uranus, which will make you restless, irritable and stubborn. Avoid accidents.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’ll be happy to play things low-key today, which is why you might choose to work alone or behind the scenes. This does not mean you will shirk your duties. Oh no. In fact, you’ll be feisty and independent! Meanwhile, you’ll be delighted to discover ways to travel and expand your world.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a lovely day to schmooze with friends and interact with groups and organizations. However, your relations with romantic partners will be unpredictable. Likewise, someone talented and creative (or perhaps in sports) might surprise you. Keep your eyes open!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You are high viz. today, which means people notice you more than usual. Fortunately, they will see you as busy, competent and capable. Meanwhile, difficulties with a family member or someone at home might take place today. Perhaps you feel challenged? Easy does it. Don’t take the bait.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Travel plans will be interrupted or changed today. Likewise, unusual news via the media might surprise you. Double check details with legal and medical matters because unexpected changes might be taking place. Meanwhile, pay attention to everything you say and do today to avoid accidents. Think before you act or speak.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Will Ferrell (1967) shares your birthday today. You are passionate, adventurous and impulsive. Because you’re enthusiastic, you like to share your ideas with others. This year, simplicity is the key to life. Focus on building structures externally and internally. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will be important.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Quite a lucky day for you as long as you stick close to your friends and try to enjoy yourself as much as you can, even try to forget of your worries.
You might meet with someone you haven’t seen in a while so catching up should be something that you will dearly enjoy. Other than that, quite a peaceful day ahead.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Things couldn’t be going better at home but couldn’t say the same things about your confidence which is gradually dropping, for no particular reason some might say.
Nothing is really that bad and you haven’t taken any bad decisions lately so maybe you are just being all dramatic and trying to play the victim for attention.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Remember that you need to be careful what you wish for, not only that it might happen but also because you might not be that happy about it as you thought you might be originally.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
It appears that the single natives are going to either adventure in a relationship just for the sake of it or stay and complain about them being single.
Maybe it would be wise for you to avoid such situation as well as entering into deals or pacts that you are not very sure of, no matter if they are with someone who you’ve known your whole life.
You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Apparently this Tuesday is a particularly auspicious day for you, as it seems that those around you have been giving you all kinds of prompts and now something you really wanted is finally going to happen.
Don’t get your hopes too high because it is not something extraordinary but surely is something to make you smile and be happy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are romantic and appear to be with your head in the clouds but in reality your feet are actually quite grounded and you see things exactly as they are.
So there is no wonder why you are being all angered about the assumptions others make about you and by the fact that they don’t appear to be taking you seriously.
You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Quite a high ceiling for you today so enough space to grow if you really feel like it. Not necessarily with the help of people around but definitely with your intuition, you will not need them anyway.
However, be also cautious about the ideas you get because at your highs, you are not always that realistic and completely assured.
You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Things are not going to be all red and lovely in your relationship today and there is no one you can really blame, not even yourself or the current disposition.
Maybe it is something that you two are not a perfect fit in and now it finally surfaces. Nothing to really worry about as it is not an essential characteristic, but definitely something to think about.
You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
When it comes to finances, you still have some things to learn from the wise people you have around you so maybe the following weeks will be better and struggle free.
For the mean time, you will remain quite frustrated about your situation, with very little prospects of seeing what is really going on in the back of your mind.
You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You are quite pragmatic today but apparently not enough as the current disposition might demand of you so chances are you will still be left disappointed, no matter how low you set your expectations.
You still hope deep inside that things will exceed what you expect but unfortunately, this Tuesday will not be the case for that.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is going to be quite a hectic day at work and chances are it will continue to be this way up until late at night if you are stubborn and active enough to decide to make plans for the evening.
If you choose to go home, chances are you will get some time to relax but if you choose the city, prepare for a lot of need of coffee and energy tomorrow morning.

Obon Festival 2024 in Japan: Meaning, Traditions and Dates
The Obon festival (お盆, also known as Bon festival) is an annual Japanese holiday that commemorates and remembers deceased ancestors. It is believed that their spirits return at this time to visit their relatives.
Chochin (paper) lanterns are hung to guide the spirits and Obon dances (bon odori) are performed. Families have reunions and visit the graves of their relatives and make food offerings at altars and temples.
It is observed from the 13th to the 15th day of the 7th month. However, according to the solar calendar the 7th month is July but according to the lunar calendar, the 7th month is August. Obon is therefore celebrated at different times in different regions depending on which calendar is observed.
The official dates are August 13-15 though it will be celebrated between July 13-15 in some places. The Obon week in mid-August is one of Japan’s three major holiday seasons making it one of the busiest times of the year for traveling. Many Japanese people will leave their cities around August 10 and come back on August 17-18.
Obon traditions and celebrations
On the first day of Obon, people take the chochin lanterns to the graves of their families. They call their ancestors’ spirits back home in a ritual called mukae-bon. In some regions, huge fires are lit at the entrances of houses to guide the spirits to enter.
At the end of the Obon festival, families help their ancestors’ spirits return back to the grave by guiding them with their chochin lanterns. The ritual is called okuri-bon. Again, the ritual varies slightly between different regions of Japan.

Spell for Saturday – Manifesting Change Water Spell
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)
Manifesting Change Water Spell
Water is a transformative element that constantly changes form from cloud to rain, river to vapor, trickle to ice, and carries the energy of change in all its forms.
You will need:
Clean, resealable glass bottle
Glitter
1. Go outside on a cold, sunny day and find some icicle (Side note: you can use ice cubes made from rain water or a natural water source in place of icicles placed in a funnel)
2.Hold the bottle underneath an icicle to catch the meltwater as it drips.
3. While holding the bottle, recite the incantation:
Water clear and bright, Changing, taking flight
Go from cold to warm, Help me to transform.”
4. Add a few pinches of glitter into the bottle. Seal the bottle and shake it to mix the water and glitter.
Whenever you need to manifest a desired change in your life, shake the bottle and watch the water and glitter swirl. Remember the energy of the icicles changing to water and focus that energy on your goal.
14 July 2024 Southern Hemisphere Current Moon Phase
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for today is the First Quarter phase.
On this day, the moon is 7.63 days old and 46.32% illuminated with a tilt of 153.114°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,411.21 km and the moon sign is Libra.
The Moon phase for today is the First Quarter phase. In this phase, exactly half of the moon is illuminated and half is in darkness.
The First Quarter phase comes roughly 7 days after the New Moon and this is when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around the Earth (hence the name, First Quarter). The moon will be high overhead at sunset in this phase and will be visible until mid-night, when it sets in the west.
The First Quarter of the moon phase cycle happens on one day. It’s followed by the intermediate phase, Waxing Gibbous, and will become more illuminated every day until it reaches the Full Moon phase.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon will be illuminated during the First Quarter. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the left side is illuminated.
