Witches Answer to Witchcraft Questions

I have books about Witchcraft some I have had for years yet only getting around to reading them now. This is one of those books. “A Witch’s Book of Answers” is an outgrowth of the Open Sesame e-list hosted by Cerelia and me, along with Ororo since 1999. This book is based on actual questions asked on the list over the years — and our responses to them.” As I am reading it the Muse, Calliope, who inspires and guides me quite often on what to post on here she helps with spell wording, new rituals for Esbats and Sabbats, or basically anything I maybe writing, coloring, painting, etc in short she advises me or inspires me anytime I need or want to be creative Calliope whispered in my ear that she would let me know what gems I should pass along to you from A Witch’s Book of Answers.

A Witch’s Book of Answers

By Eileen Holland and Cerelia

Copyright 2003

Page 5 — “Who can be a Witch? Anyone who can find his or her way to the Goddess — and is willing to spend the necessary time reading, studying, learning, and practicing — can be a Witch. A Witch must have patience, imagination, compassion, focus, and willpower.”              by  Eileen

Page 6 —- “What type of attitude should a Witch have? To me, the most important thing that anyone can believe is, “I like myself.” You must like yourself and respect yourself in order to like and respect others. You must be able to do this first, and then take responsibility for your actions.” by Cerelia

“A big part of being a Witch is having respect for yourself. This includes never allowing anyone to mistreat you, physically or otherwise. No Witch should ever tolerate violence or abuse.

I recommend this book for any witch that has a question but cannot find the answer. While this book does not answer every question about Witchcraft, The Craft, The Old Ways or whatever label I any you choose for your path because thank the Great Mother and Great Father we do not follow a religion rather we walk a spiritual path that for the most part we forge a head they way we feel is right to us.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 00:30 AM to 1:30 AM EDT today. After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Make sure you have your facts before you challenge someone today because it’s easy to jump the gun with a sense of righteousness. (A perverse pleasure.) However, when the facts are established (if ever), you might be forced to sing a different tune. Therefore, be careful. Do your homework.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Parenting might be challenged today, especially with older kids who want to have more autonomy or freedom. Meanwhile, you have strong opinions today. Similar challenges might arise in discussions with romantic partners. Take baby steps.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Family squabbles or challenges to authority figures in the family might take place today. (This will be especially difficult if a family business is involved.) Try to avoid this if you can. Instead, immerse yourself in work and accomplishing something because this will make you feel satisfied.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Avoid arguments with others, which might arise today because of a strong difference of opinions. You can sidestep any unpleasantness by focusing on sports, social outings, romantic connections and playful activities with kids because this can be a lighthearted and playful day – if you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a poor day for important financial discussions because people will be at odds with each other and agreement will be difficult. Avoid these if you can. (They might be about something you own or about money or who owns what – could be anything.) Instead, focus on home improvements.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might feel that others are limiting what you want to do or putting restrictions on you for some reason. This could be a natural evolution of things, or this could be a conflict with someone, probably a friend, spouse or partner. This is not easy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are a social sign, perhaps the most social sign in the zodiac. Today however, for some reason, you might feel a bit lonely or cut off from others. Don’t worry because this is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. It’s possible that your ambition is a bit strong for someone? Maybe, maybe not.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Romantic relationships might be difficult today, especially if one is pulling rank. Others might find that children are an increased responsibility for some reason. Or you might feel that someone is uncooperative or holding you back in some way. And so it goes.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your dealings with bosses, authority figures and parents will not be easy today. They might oppose what you want to do or create restrictions. Possibly you are the one making restrictions for someone else? Either way, it’s a bit of a standoff. Make sure you are as fair as you can be.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today whatever you want to do might be curtailed or restricted because of law and order or legal rules. Or possibly, you are held back from something because of publicity or something in the media? Maybe you’re in Facebook jail? Expect a discussion with someone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

“Why is there so much month left at the end of the money?” Today you might feel a financial squeeze play. You might not have enough money to do what you want. Or perhaps someone is going to cut off funding to you or withhold money from you. This is temporary.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel discouraged today because you are facing adversaries. You feel physically tired. Perhaps your ambitions are thwarted by someone? The secret is to hang on and persevere because opportunities for success will soon return.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Evan Rachel Wood (1987) shares your birthday today. You are ambitious, tenacious and driven. You are also loyal, supportive and protective to loved ones. This is a year of service for you, especially service to family. Therefore, take care of yourself so you can be of service. Time for a makeover? Personalize where you live.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although you might be chasing elsewhere for what you think you need, you actually have it all right in front of you but it will take you a while, some initiative and a lot of inspiration to finally see it.

Maybe you want things to be given to you directly, and preferably on a golden plate but this is not going to happen this Saturday.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You need to stay within decent boundaries and not overstep anything someone has decided around you. If you temper yourself you have a lot more to win than if you go on doing whatever it is on your mind.

You even get the chance to convince people to follow you just because of your reassuring and confident behavior.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The current disposition will provide you some time with your loved one but won’t really sort everything for you so this means you will probably have to prepare if you want to have a good time.

This means either talk to your significant others and see what they have in plan or make your own itinerary for the day and hope for the best.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This being Saturday you are probably going to take some things lightly and even prefer to shut down like half of your brain just to relax.

What I would suggest you to do is the exact opposite and to be very careful, especially to the things you are agreeing upon and the partnerships you consider; no matter how simple and carefree you might consider them.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Maybe it’s time to follow your impulses for a bit and have some fun for a change. Even your partner might come with a plan and maybe you should listen to them twice before you even think about refusing them.

It’s the weekend and although you might have some chores to deal with and might feel overwhelmed, there is still enough time.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

There is no need to be afraid of what is outside your comfort zone, not this Saturday anyway as it seems the more open to chance you are, the more auspicious and entertaining the outcome will be.

So mingle with people, see what your friends are doing and don’t be reluctant to try something new, unless it’s really dangerous or illegal, I’d say.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might want to prepare yourself for some delays and a bit of confusion creeping in, especially if you have to deal with a lot of people and in a short period of time.

Other than that, which is going to be probably enough for just one day, things are looking good and you shouldn’t worry that much about anything else.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Some things are going to add up this Saturday so if I were you I would be very careful with the opinions I’m sharing.

People are going to remember what you said, even in an informal conversation and you never know when that might be used against you. Family will be a safe retreat and you can get back to that anytime.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Endeavors that have to do with your house and the well being of your family are going to be favored this Saturday so why not look deeper into what you can do for others and show a bit of generosity.

At the same time it might not be a bad idea to spend some time in the outdoors and get some fresh air, regardless of the weather.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You seem to have some ambitious plans for this Saturday, even if they are just involving casual activities, shopping or house chores.

The more you plan the less you accomplish it seems because the stars look ready to mess with you so what I would suggest is to take it step by step and add something to the mix when you’re done with the previous activity.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The current disposition isn’t necessarily on your side when it comes to love and although you might seem in favor, if you dig deeper you will see that there are some other things you need to worry about.

Other than that, quite a peaceful day ahead of you as long as you don’t start rambling off on things that are not your business.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The advice for you this Saturday is to not get involved into any money conflicts because this won’t be characteristic of you and you risk losing on your reputation and not changing anyone’s views.

So stay away from battles that aren’t yours to fight and as well try to relax a bit and not leave this get you all tense.
