Spell For Monday – To Be Free of Something Negative

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

To Be Free of Something Negative

Draw an outline of yourself in the soil. Next, over it draw a symbol representing that which you wish to be free of.

Draw this symbol over the image. Gaze at it, see the symbol as part of yourself, as you are now.

Then, with careful strokes, completely erase the symbol with your fingertips. Make sure you don’t damage your original outline, however, if this happens, redraw immediately. Now gaze at the new you, free of the negative aspect and ready to start again with a cleaner slate.

Repeat every day for seven days.

18 September 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for September 18th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.58 days old and 99.87% illuminated with a tilt of 88.757°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 357,817.94 km and the moon sign is Pisces.

The Moon phase for September 18th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

September 17, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres 05

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 13.54 days old and 97.34% illuminated with a tilt of 99.807°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 360,286.33 km and the moon sign is Pisces.

The Moon phase for today 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.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces peaks at 10:34 PM EDT today (7:34 PM PDT).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Right off the bat, be aware that your confidence might not be strong today. Furthermore, you’ll feel challenged, especially at work. It won’t be easy to get people to agree with you or to advance your agenda. Go gently. (And don’t worry about second-guessing yourself.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Discussions with a friend or a member of a group might be challenging today because someone might make you feel diminished. Perhaps this person is older or more experienced, especially with issues related to kids, social outings or sports. Stand firm.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day to ask authority figures for permission or approval. Don’t even go there. Today’s Lunar Eclipse is taking place at the top of your chart, which means all your relations with authority figures (including the police) are challenged! Sit this one out.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects today because they will be too difficult to handle. You might be railroaded by the law, rules and regulations – something that will be oppress you. Furthermore, this is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

There is a squeeze play today regarding your finances or something that you own. (It might even relate to something that you owe to someone else or the government. Yikes!) Things are coming to a head – no doubt. Stay calm and don’t be rash. Let the dust settle.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Full Moon today (which is a Lunar Eclipse) involves your sign because it is an opposition of the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This is why you feel increased tension dealing with partners and close friends. Take it easy. Don’t make a big deal about anything. Tread carefully.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Issues that are work-related or perhaps something to do with your health or a pet could be challenging today. Basically, this is related to the Full Moon energy that is coming to a head. It’s important to know this energy dissipates in 48 hours. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents should be extra cautious today because today’s Full Moon could be accident-prone for your kids. It might also create havoc with social plans and issues related to sports, vacations and the arts. In fact, anything to do with the entertainment world and the hospitality industry will be dicey.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you might feel caught in a tug-of-war between the responsibilities of home and family versus the responsibilities of your career or your public reputation. (You’re caught between a rock and a hard place.) Increased responsibilities with a parent might be onerous. Cope as best you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Also, resist the urge to be self-critical. (The Paralysis of the Negative.) Life will look different in a day or two. This is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Financial situations will be challenging today. Something might fall through. You might feel broke. A bad purchase could create regret. Could be anything. Hang in there because by Thursday, things will look radically different!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a challenging day because the Full Moon today (which is a Lunar Eclipse) is taking place in your sign. This could create tension between you and partners, close friends and even members of the general public. Stay chill. Gone in 48 hours.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Jordan Conner (1991) shares your birthday today. You are courageous, hard-working and determined. You assume tasks that others shun. This is a year of learning and teaching. You might renew your religious or spiritual beliefs. Take time to explore philosophies that give you a better understanding of who you are and what you want.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It is either stress or accumulated tension that will have you on the edge for some time the following days, meanwhile you will still be able to deal with all your work, maybe even more fierce than usual.

At the same time you might find it difficult to keep up with those around or at least with the perception you have about the amount of work they are doing and this will frustrate you more.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It might seem as the resource flow is getting smaller and smaller and you will finally need to face up the consequences.

At the same time, I wouldn’t worry as much in terms of what you need to do to get back on your feet because there will be enough opportunities in this busy season to make up for the losses you’ve incurred.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might want to take on a cautious display with almost all people you know and stay away from any discussions where you are asked about your opinion.

You might laugh now and wonder when could your opinions be that controversial but you would be surprised how your words can be twisted to your own disadvantage.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might want to keep a clear track of your expenses this Tuesday and the following weeks, maybe let things relax only after some weeks have passed.

There might be some debt piling up also that you need to take care of and who knows what else can show up. The more confident you are with your resources, the easier it will be to overcome any troubles.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This might be a day of signing things and of making things official so be prepared to read the fine print and not sign anything before you really are aware of all that it entails.

At the same time, don’t feel ashamed to ask even questions that might sound stupid because the more knowledgeable you are the sounder you will sleep.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It might not be such a bad idea after all if you would take your interest in art and do something about your house, so maybe start decorating your home for fun or for whatever else reason you can find.

There might be some tensions and disagreements in regards to similar aspects but don’t worry much, the heated the talk the sweeter the getting back together will be.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This day might be set in such way that you will have the chance to present your plans and some of your perspectives.

This means that some will agree with you and some others will come up with advice and criticism as it usually happens. The only trick to this Tuesday is the fact that you will need to be very cautious even with good advice.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The current disposition tends to make you more fierce about decisions but instead of just being more confident and assured, you tend to misunderstand this and just rush into things.

So today will probably be a crazy hectic day in which you make decisions and then change your mind just as the wind changes direction all of a sudden.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Although you might be expecting some financial results and to some extent they might even come, this is not the area to offer you satisfaction.

The more you accomplish what you craved for, the more you see there are actually other things you care more about and that interest you more. In this regard, maybe take a closer look to your relationship.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It appears like it is the time for digging up interior resources to cope with what is going on around you and to show that you can go past a lot of blockages.

At the same time, you might be even more aware of your shyness these days and this might prevent you from obtaining and enjoying the real result of your otherwise great actions.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Maybe your plans are not complying with the wishes of those close to you and maybe to some extent you do care about that.

However, there are some other things you prefer to do your own way and not compromise so you will try to stick to that and try not to get frustrated by the comments others might throw at you.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are working hard for your plans but you seem to ignore what should be central to your plans, your family and those close.

So it kind of balances off all your efforts if you don’t get to spend enough time with them. This Tuesday has the potential to be very colorful and happy if you allow the right amount of time for those dear to you.

All Signs

Good news! We have the green light to buy all forms of ground transportation plus cell phones and computers, (if this is what you need). Meanwhile, the highlight of this week is a Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday the 17th at 25? in Pisces. Oh boy. This will be like a pail of cold water dumped on our heads. Harsh realities will be revealed, and we will no longer be able to kid ourselves about an unpleasant truth we’ve been trying to ignore. This is because this Lunar Eclipse takes place between romantic, illusionary Pisces and grounded, rational Virgo. Oscar Wilde said, “If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.” Ah yes, “the vessel with the pestle is the brew that is true.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You want to be efficient and productive, which is why you’re striving to make every action count. Mental work will be easy to do because you won’t overlook details. You want everything done perfectly. You’re making lists; and you want your planning to give you a sense of purpose. However, you might have to work for someone else right now. Their needs might supersede yours. The Lunar Eclipse this week will bring something to a head. You might suspect that you’re being taken advantage of, or that you’re being a martyr without realizing it. Whatever the case, you want it to stop. You’re going to look out for your own interests, not because you’re being selfish, but because you respect yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a tough week for romance because if you have been kidding yourself (and who doesn’t kid themselves when they’re in love?) the truth of something is now apparent. This revelation could be about a lover, a friend, or a group; or it might be something related to your kids. Your challenge is how to handle this new information with grace and fairness to all concerned. Obviously, you can’t ignore the facts. This means you can start to look for a solution that hopefully, embraces a better future for everyone. John Lennon said “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Tuesday’s Lunar Eclipse will highlight your relations with authority figures. Family discussions are taking place, perhaps about home repairs. Meanwhile, you’re high viz. People notice you. (Some even know personal details about your private life.) Nevertheless, when this Full Moon peaks, something will be revealed to you – perhaps your attitude to authority figures in the family? You might see that you’re rebellious? Or perhaps, you’re selling out to keep the peace and putting yourself second? A myriad of things can occur that will be revealing. Fortunately, you will benefit from this knowledge because lucky Jupiter is in your sign giving you wisdom; plus, Saturn will make you see clearly what is working and what is not.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Mars is in your sign right now boosting your energy and drive! You’re asserting yourself because this is your chance to show the world what you can do. You’ll be quick to defend yourself and the rights of others. Meanwhile, pay attention to everything you say and do, especially in the beginning of the week, because Tuesday’s Lunar Eclipse can introduce accident-prone influences. A mishap could be physical or verbal. You might disagree with teachers or professors. You might have difficulty with people from other cultures. You might have arguments about politics, religion or racial issues. Closer to home, you might argue with siblings and relatives. With the energy of Mars in your sign, you might appear insensitive to others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Lunar Eclipse this week is about your finances, your earnings and your cash flow as well as inheritances, debt and anything to do with shared property. (The whole nine yards.) Let’s face it, you can be the last of the big-time spenders. You are generous. You’re quick to pick up the tab. You like to entertain plus you like to buy your toys and whatever pleases you. (Admittedly, you can save — but you have to be motivated.) This week something will make you see the truth of something that you’ve been denying related to your wealth, how you spend your money or how others relate to you because of your wealth. Whatever the case, far better to know the truth than to live with illusion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Things are happening this week because Tuesday’s Lunar Eclipse is taking place opposite your sign. This puts a major highlight on your closest relationships – business partners, marriage partners and close friends. Furthermore, it means you will see aspects of these relationships that either you weren’t aware of before. or you refused to admit to yourself that they existed. In either case – this week the truth is apparent. Last week in All Signs, I quoted someone who said, “In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find and continue to find grounds for marriage.” This might be advice for you to consider this week.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This week a hidden secret might be revealed to you because of the Lunar Eclipse, and the fact that the Sun and Mercury are “hiding” in your chart. It could be minor. Or perhaps, it’s a self-revelation that lets you see behaviour that is self-defeating and not serving your best interests? If this happens, you’re fortunate. We need to discover our self-defeating behaviour patterns. Nevertheless, it initially is a sobering realization (possibly you feel chagrined or embarrassed). Nevertheless, any knowledge about how you behave that can helps you to improve your relationships is a good thing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week travel plans continue to appeal; and lucky Scorpios will do something to get a change of scenery. Meanwhile, Tuesday’s Lunar Eclipse might force you to acknowledge some truth about friendships (or your relationship to a group or an organization) that you had either not been aware of before, or you had simply chosen to ignore. Nevertheless, these truths or revelations are now apparent and they might affect how you view a friend. You might see this person does not have your best interests at heart. Or this might take place with a romantic connection. This means the ball is in your court, and you have to decide what you want to do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Tuesday’s Lunar Eclipse might make you feel you’re caught in a tug-of-war between trying to keep home and family happy versus meeting the demands of your job or your career. It appears that you can’t do both. But obviously, somehow you will. You will find ways to compromise. Alternatively, you might see that you don’t want to compromise, and this is a new truth for you to deal with. In other words, you see the price you have to pay to keep others happy. (Especially if there are disputes about shared property and inheritances.) More than any other sign, you value the truth of something. You hate pretension. Be grateful that you have a better idea of what the situation is. (The lead dog always has the clearest view.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pay attention to everything you say and do this week because this particular Lunar Eclipse is accident-prone for your sign. Move and drive slowly with awareness. Likewise, think before you speak so that you have no regrets. Very likely, some kind of truth will be revealed to you this week, and it might be something you have refused to see because you have been in denial. Or it might be because you never grasped the full picture before? It could relate to your relationship with siblings and relatives. It might relate to religious beliefs, or rules and regulations to which you should either pay attention or ignore? Tension with partners and close friends might be the result. Get things clear in your mind. This year a residential move or job changes are likely.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Brace yourself because this week’s Lunar Eclipse might reveal financial information you were not aware of; or perhaps you didn’t want to acknowledge. This could relate to your earnings and cash flow, but more likely, it relates to your relationship with debt, inheritances and the wealth and resources of someone else. This is a solid time for you. You’re working hard; plus, you’re enjoying good times, especially with children. Therefore, use whatever financial revelations arise and make them work for you. In the bigger picture, this might create more freedom and independence for you. Certainly, freedom and independence are qualities you rate highly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The Lunar Eclipse this week will be challenging for you because it takes place in your sign. This is an indication that the truth of a close relationship will be revealed to you. You might realize that someone was using you or failing to put your own best interests first. You tend to idealize your closest relationships and refuse to see the shortcomings of others, especially when they’re misrepresenting themselves. Obviously, it’s in your own best interest to see the motives of those who are close to you. Do they have your back? Do they really care? Life is too short to spend it with people who don’t love you. Put yourself first. If you don’t – who will?

Mabon Rituals: How To Celebrate The Fall Pagan Holiday

I find the celebration of Mabon to be one of the most significant events of the year. Mabon is a festival that marks the autumn equinox and is often celebrated on or around September 21st. It is a time of balance, where day and night are equal, and we give thanks for the abundance of the harvest season. Mabon rituals are primarily centered around balance, so this is a great time to rebalance yourself and look back on your year.

Mabon is a time for reflection and gratitude, and many Pagans choose to celebrate this festival with rituals and ceremonies. These rituals often involve the lighting of candles, the burning of incense, and the offering of food and drink to the gods and goddesses.

Some people choose to hold their rituals in nature, such as in a forest or by a river, while others prefer to celebrate in their homes or at a local Pagan community center. Regardless of the location, the focus is on honoring the changing of the seasons and the cycles of life and death.

In this blog post, I’m going to cover every aspect of Mabon, from popular Mabon rituals (including a full-on ritual for serious practitioners) to the history, culture, symbolism, and deities associated with Mabon. Let’s dive in!

16 September 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

The current moon phase for September 16th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 12.54 days old and 92.06% illuminated with a tilt of 102.784°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 364,385.05 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for September 16th, 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.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

September 15, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for September 15th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 12.51 days old and 91.85% illuminated with a tilt of 102.731°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 364,536.69 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for September 15th, 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.

60 Actions You Can Take for the Planet

April 22 (SIDE NOTE: To me every day of the year is Earth day) is Earth Day, a time to appreciate everything the natural world provides for us—from the water that replenishes us, to the food that nourishes us, and the trees that help provide the oxygen we breathe, we celebrate the planet we call home. It’s also a day to encourage more climate-friendly choices and shed light on the pressing environmental challenges we’re facing today.

The 2022 Living Planet Report showed us that climate change and biodiversity loss are the twin emergencies of our time, threatening the well-being of current and future generations. However, we also learned we have the capability to reverse these trends. It’s more important now than ever that we make our planet a priority. In continuation of last year’s Earth Day theme, we ask that everyone “Invest in Our Planet,” once more.

More transformation action is needed, and we can’t do it alone. We need everyone – business, governments, and individuals like you – to help create lasting change. Through collective individual actions, we can invest in our planet’s future by making more sustainable lifestyle choices, urge greater climate action from both our government officials and business leaders, and support organizations that are making a difference.

We know this sounds daunting, so together with WWF’s experts across key areas, we created a guide detailing 60 Actions for the Planet to help you reduce your footprint and embrace more Earth-friendly lifestyle choices. Though we’ve had many Earth Days since its inception in 1970, we only have one Earth. Join us in giving back to our planet this Earth Day and beyond.

Scroll through the gallery below to see just a few of the60 actions available in the guide:

Fracking, or Hydraulic Fracturing, has Several Dangers to the Planet

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, has several dangers to the planet12345:

  • Loss of plant and animal species due to greenhouse gases, toxic air pollutants, water waste, and noise.
  • Environmental impact related to land use, water consumption, air emissions, brine and fracturing fluid leakage, water contamination, and noise pollution.
  • Health risks from water and air pollution.
  • Distracting governments and the energy industry from investing in clean energy.
  • Prolonging reliance on fossil fuels, which are harmful to the planet.
  • Adverse health effects in populations living near hydraulic fracturing sites, including chemical, physical, and psychosocial hazards.

Merry Meet Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

I have been having a problem with fracking for a long time, to me it is a type of rape to Mother Earth. MY cousin sent me an article about a woman in Ohio, USA who built her own home in a very quiet wooded area with a stream that went through her property, all she would her is sounds of nature. Then even without permission because 65% of other in the county she lived in gave permission that was all that was need for them to “trespass” and start fracking for natural gas. She wound up having to give up her piece of paradise because of the noise, lights, smells, and traffic due to them drilling and fracking. Personally, I feel this was a horrible thing that happened to her all because us as humans are using more and more natural gas, fuel for automobiles, and all the other things that are in the ground. It is no wonder between this and climate change we are having more earthquakes everywhere on the planet, tidal waves, and unpredictable weather. Yes, I understand in a way these things need to be done but humans are taking more and more forests and other natural areas needed for wildlife to thrive and domestic farm animals to live. When are we going to reach a level of human population that Mother Earth can no longer sustain any type of life, and she dies?

No I do not want to go back to caveman days but each of us can help by using natural lighting whenever possible in our warm, dry homes, make a plan for where you have to go each day before leaving home and map out the shortest route possible to every place we need to go, use shower heads that turn on and off as we get soaped up and rinse off, quit using a dishwasher half full, wash full loads of clothes, and do not have our home furnaces set to tropical temperatures or air conditioners to artic. These are all things that can also save us money on some of our bills so it’s a win-win thing.

If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with all things positive!

Blessed be.

Spell for Saturday – Setting Boundaries

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

Setting Boundaries

Today is a good time to renew the physical boundaries of your home or property. You will need a few small stones to set along the edges of the property. You can use smokey quartz, black obsidian, black tourmaline, or any protective stone you connect with. You will need to walk the boundaries of your property. As you do this, set the stones in the corners of your property line. You may bury them if they are outdoors, so they will not be disturbed. If you live in an apartment, you can simply place them near the doors or windows of your home where they will not be in the way. As you walk the boundaries, at each point where you are placing a stone, say:

Only those who are welcome may
stay. All others must go away.

When the last stone has been placed, the ward is sealed and the property protected.
