1 Person’s View on The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Witchery

Food is essential. Some people take great delight in cooking and preparing meals while others find the activity to be a necessary chore.

But when does cooking become more than just cooking?

When you stir in a little magic and whip up something enchanting. Many of the basic ingredients you use to make your meals every day also have magical attributes.

What’s the difference between just throwing a few things together in a pot and creating magic?

Intent and focus, of course!

Whether you are still a secret witch or simply don’t have time for elaborate rituals, kitchen witchery is an easy way to integrate magic into your daily life. Herbs and other mundane ingredients can be used to witchify your next meal.

Your Kitchen Altar

If you plan to use kitchen witchery as your primary mode of witchcrafting, you may want to begin thinking of your kitchen as a sacred space. This, of course, will depend on your living situation and personal practice.

Take a moment to think about your kitchen. It’s probably often overlooked and under appreciated, but some truly magical things happen in this room.

The gifts of the Earth are transformed and combined into creations that nourish and benefit your body. That’s pretty neat!

While you probably can’t treat your kitchen as an altar all the time, there are a few things you can do to transform this room into a sacred space.

Address Energetic Imbalances

Just like any other space, the kitchen can sometimes collect unwanted energies, especially if it doesn’t get much sunlight. All those cabinets and crevices between appliances don’t help matters. And if you live in a rental there could be years of energetic build…

Magical Kitchen Decorations…

Tools…

Dishes, Cookware and Other Containers…

The Oven…

The Cauldron…

Mortar and Pestle…

Pantry…

Cooking and Eating Utensils…

Steps for Food Magic

  1. Set your purpose or intention before preparing each meal. For bigger changes you may need more than one meal.

  2. Select foods and ingredients that are suitable for your intention.

  3. Choose foods that you enjoy. Just because something has the magical association you are looking for doesn’t mean you should force yourself to eat something you dislike.

  4. Choose foods that contribute to a healthy diet. Don’t let magic lead you toward an unbalanced diet of junk food. Self care, folks!

  5. Visualize your intention. As you are prepare the ingredients by chopping, peeling, and heating, visualize yourself in the life where your intention has manifested.

  6. Eat with intention. Continue visualizing your life where your intention has manifested. Visualize the energy of the food transforming within you into your magical purpose.

  7. Give it time. Magic manifests gradually and naturally. Your magical purpose will likely not transform overnight.

Tips for Magical Cooking

  • Make sure you’re in a positive mood when working your culinary magic. You are, after all, the most important player when it comes to the vibrational energy of the meal.

  • Meditate, cleanse yourself, listen to music or perform another self care ritual before you begin cooking.

  • Be sure your intention is clear while you work in the kitchen so that your food is imbued with the magical essence you look to create.

  • Share your magical intention for the food with anyone who is sharing the meal with you. Be prepared to only charge your portion if they are not interested in magical food.

  • Incorporate kitchen witchery into your practice most easily at the Sabbats. If you are already celebrating with a special meal or potluck with friends, try making something magical and seasonal.

  • Remember that it’s not always necessary to look it up. Spicy food is generally protective, citrusy food is generally purifying, sweet food is generally loving. Do what feels right to you.

  • Consider starting a magical food diet that fuels your intention with foods that have similar energies. Check with a doctor or nutritionist before making drastic changes to your diet.

Cooking and magic have a lot in common. Both create something new by combining specific ingredients and both are meant to improve the overall well-being of the creator. Best of all—no matter how long you’ve been practicing each—there’s always more to learn: new tricks, techniques, and combinations.

Give yourself time to practice and experiment, and learn from your successes and mistakes.

November 15, 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for November 15th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.01 days old and 99.96% illuminated with a tilt of 174.882°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 361,531.52 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for November 15th, 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.

Phase Details

Phase: Full Moon

Moon age: 14.01 days

Moon illumination: 99.96%

Moon tilt: 174.882°

Moon angle: 0.55

Moon distance: 361,531.52 km

Moon sign: Taurus

Spell For Friday – Rose Attraction Spell

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

LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one takes the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them than go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you than please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals or birds or reptiles or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.

Rose Attraction

Sometimes it happens that you meet a person of the opposite sex who has all the qualities you have always wanted in a partner. It can be a friend, a colleague, or an acquaintance who can feel the same things for you.

So, what should you do? Just perform a love spell to attract the person of your dreams to you.

Ingredients:

A rosebud; if you can’t find roses, any other type of flower is fine.

Two pieces of paper

A pink candle; engrave your name and that of the desired person in it.

How to perform it:

Next to the candle, place two pieces of paper, one with your name and the other with that of your future lover, light the candle, and say:

“You and I will be one, my love. Venus, goddess of love, listens to my request. Let me triumph and let the fire of passion burn. My heart is waiting to be loved by you (name of the person you love) and with all my heart I thank Venus, the goddess of love.”

Repeat the spell more than three times; after the first two repetitions, visualize your future partner running towards you. On the third time, imagine him hugging you and telling you “I will love you forever.”

Let the candle burn out completely, keep the rose and the pieces of paper with the names with you; take the sheet with your name on it and wrap it around the other.

Create a small ball and insert them inside the flower by closing the petals. Make a hole in the ground and bury it all, saying:

“From now on we will be united together by a very deep love.”

Don’t use this spell to attract someone who is already in a relationship, it won’t work. This is not a breakup spell, but an attraction spell that aims to attract a single man or woman.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 10:45 PM to 11:30 PM PST today. After that, the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini. Today’s Full Moon in Taurus peaks at 4:28 PM EST (1:28 PM PST).

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Financial matters might come to a head today about what you earn, what you own, and what you owe. When it comes to finances, it’s important to get the cold hard facts and not kid yourself. The truth of the reality of your situation is empowering.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

** Today the only Full Moon all year in your sign is taking place; and this will heighten your emotions and feelings. This is why you might have challenges or difficulties dealing with spouses, partners and close friends. Suddenly, everything “matters!”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** Difficulties at work or related to your health or a pet might arise today because of the Full Moon energy. Don’t try to make a big deal about anything. Don’t insist on being right. Lighten up and go with the flow to make this day work for you. That’s what really matters, right?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

** You feel the energy of today’s Full Moon because the Moon is ruler of Cancer. Today this could create difficulties dealing with your kids. Likewise, it could create romantic problems. Perhaps you feel forced to make a choice you don’t want to have to make? Fortunately, this will dissipate quickly.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Today you might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and your public reputation. It appears you can’t keep both happy. With this particular Full Moon, you cannot ignore your family scene. It was ever thus.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

** Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for you due to the Full Moon energy. Therefore, slow down and pay attention to everything you say and do. Don’t act rashly. Think before you speak, especially in response to others. Avoid controversial subjects. Be nice.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** The Full Moon today will bring issues into sharp focus that are related to your possessions, your money, as well as the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. You might be aware of your debt or what you owe someone and feel humbled. (Not easy.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This could create tension between you and spouses, partners and close friends. This is because during a Full Moon the Sun and Moon are opposite each other. Be tolerant. Show respect.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Today it’s important to put your cards on the table and speak your peace. Do this because you value honesty and you feel strongly about your ability to tell it like it is. (Sometimes to the chagrin of others.) Jump in, the water’s fine!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Be patient with your kids today because the Full Moon energy can make everyone more intense and volatile. Likewise, cut romantic partners some slack because the Full Moon increases tension and anxiety in them. Think of your long-term objective. You want to get along.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** The demands of your public life versus your private life are at odds today because of the energy and the complications of the Full Moon. Handle this as best you can; but do be aware you can’t ignore your public persona today. Maintain your reputation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** Avoid controversial discussions with others, especially about politics and religion because the energy of today’s Full Moon will snowball things into an argument. Don’t even go there. Your best bet is to agree to disagree. Keep things simple.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Shailene Woodley (1991) shares your birthday today. You are shrewd and perceptive, and sometimes stubborn. You have a distinctive personality that brings a particular energy to any gathering. This is a year of learning and teaching. Take time for reflection. Renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Explore meditation or yoga. Invest in yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You will be a lot more active this Friday than you have been the other past few days added together. Whether there are some later plans that are impassioning you to behave like this or it is just the thought of the weekend, those around will surely raise some eyebrows to this newly found energy.

You might even be asked to do something extra just because of that.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A tempting Friday with challenging ideas that you will need to sensibly navigate. Maybe you don’t really want to refuse your friends in regard to that outing but at the same time you know that you kind of had plans with your partner and by choosing your buddies, this will create a conflict at home.

Love won’t be tough like this the whole time, it’s just these few days.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Prudence in travel is essential if you want to get to realize all your plans for the day. At the same time, the big demands of this Friday, either put on yourself by others or that you’ve chosen yourself, will demand a lot of multitasking for you.

Something you are usually good at, but today might prove a bit clumsy, this just to make things a little harder.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It seems that the stars have decided you shouldn’t have a moment of peace this Friday, maybe because the weekend is coming or because you have way too much energy and nothing actually to spend it on.

If you are wise enough you won’t refuse an invitation to the gym or to play a certain sport, because this might help you relief some of that accumulated tension.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A day of travel ideas and entertaining endeavors which will most probably see you day dreaming for its fair share.

Your hopes and expectations might however be bluntly awaken by some practical responsibilities that you will have to tend to but you shouldn’t worry that much because you will be able to manage all. With a bit of help from your partner in some cases, of course.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A bit of change will not hurt you although you might be doing all fine with this current status of things. Whether you are considering advancing with your partner or something similar, rest assured there will be enough occasions for you to enter another comfort zone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Some things are going to demand from you to be a lot more serious than you usually are while in some other respects you will even be criticized you are taking everything way too serious.

Folk Magic

By Catherine Beyer Wicca Expert

The term folk magic encompasses a wide variety of diverse magical practices united only by the fact that they are the magical practices of the common folk, rather than the ceremonial magic that was worked by the learned elite.

Folk magic is generally of a practical nature, meant to address the common ills of the community: healing the sick, bringing love or luck, driving away evil forces, finding lost items, bringing good harvests, granting fertility, reading omens and so on. Rituals are generally relatively simple and often change over time as the workers are generally illiterate. Materials used are commonly available: plants, coins, nails, wood, eggshells, twine, stones, animals, feathers, etc.

Folk Magic in Europe

It’s becoming increasingly common to see claims about European Christians persecuting all forms of magic, and that folk magicians were practicing witchcraft. This is untrue. Witchcraft was a specific type of magic, one that was harmful. Folk magicians did not call themselves witches, and they were valued members of the community.

Moreover, until the last few hundred years, Europeans frequently did not distinguish between magic, herbalism, and medicine. If you were ill, you might be given some herbs. You might be instructed to consume them, or you might be told to hang them over your door. These two directions would not be seen as different nature, even though today we would say one was medicinal and the other was magic.

Hoodoo and Rootwork

Hoodoo is a 19th-century magical practice found primarily among African-American populations. It is a mixture of African, Native American, and European folk magic practices. It is generally strongly steeped in Christian imagery. Phrases from the Bible are commonly used in workings, and the Bible itself is considered a powerful object, able to drive away negative influences.

It is also frequently referred to as rootwork, and some label it witchcraft. It has no connection to Vodou (Voodoo), despite the similar names.

Pow-Wow and Hex-Work

Pow-Wow is another American branch of folk magic. While the term has a Native American origin, the practices are primarily European in origin, found among… Click here to read the rest of this article Source: learnreligions.com

16 November 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

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

On this day, the moon is 14.01 days old and 99.96% illuminated with a tilt of 175.793°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 361,539.22 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for November 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. 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.

Spell For Friday – Invisibility Glamor

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

Invisibility Glamor

This glamor spell doesn’t make you literally invisible, instead, it makes you much harder to notice. Please keep in mind that glamor can only do so much, if you’re making a ton of noise or if someone is specifically looking for you, it will be less effective. This glamor does not create “rob a bank without being seen” levels of invisibility. Instead, you will skate under the radar of most people’s notice. When I use it, often people are distracted at opportune moments, absorbed in their own affairs, and otherwise unlikely to take any notice of me.

The one downside of this spell is that it takes a bit of practice and you need to be feeding the spell the entire time you want to be invisible. I would suggest that before you use it, you dress to blend in. Don’t wear a suit to a college campus. Don’t wear pajama pants in an office building. You want to make it easy for people to overlook you. Blend in with what people are expecting to see and they can ignore you.

Practice this at home and around housemates first before trying it out in public. Start somewhere secluded where you can focus. You will tap into a feeling signature or energy and then maintain that as long as you can.

Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Notice the surface of your body, where your skin meets your clothes or the air around your body. Feel into this very tangible part of yourself. When you’re ready, imagine this barrier between yourself and the outside world dissolving, leaving your outline hazy and indistinct. Imagine that your body becomes as insubstantial as mist, like someone could look right through you if they tried. Work to strengthen this feeling signature and cement it in your mind. When you’re ready, try opening your eyes and then getting up and walking around. Avoid catching sight of your reflection as that can jar you out of the right headspace. Can you maintain this sense of an insubstantial body while you are moving? When you can keep the insubstantial, mist-like feeling while moving, it’s time to try it with another person around. Again, remember that if you make noise or speak to anyone, they will probably still see you. If you struggle to maintain the insubstantial body around other people, or if it’s not effective, don’t worry. This takes practice! You might try adjusting the visualization or sensation that you’re focusing on. What would invisibility feel like to you?

Try this around different people and in different situations as you become more comfortable with the technique. You may find that some people are more susceptible to it than others, or that it’s easier for you to maintain in some situations more than others.

Keeping Track of Your Spells c.2015

 

KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR SPELLS

 

Whenever you do a spell, record all the details in your book of shadows. That way, you can perform the spell again at a later date, adjust it, or adapt it to other circumstances. Following is a list of the basic information you should include about any spell or ritual you perform:

Name and type of spell. Write this at the top of the page.

and time you did the spell. If it’s an original spell, you may also wish to add the date and time you composed it.

Who else was present, if anyone.

Moon phase. Add the moon sign if you know it, as well as other pertinent astrological information.

Weather. This is more important than you might think, as weather can affect your feelings as well as the place where you choose to perform your spell.

Location. Did you do the spell in the living room, backyard, etc.?

Your health. Your energy level and overall health can impact your spells. If you are female, also note where you are in your menstrual cycle.

Purpose of the spell. This may be obvious from the name of the spell, but a heading such as “Simple Cauldron Spell” might require a little more information about why you did the spell.

A complete list of the tools and ingredients used. This is vital for future reference and if you choose to repeat the spell.

Deities invoked, if any.

The entire text of the spell or ritual. You can write this down before the ritual, and just work from your text, if necessary.

How long it took to complete the spell.

The immediate reaction you felt to the ritual.

Short-term results. What did you notice over the first few days or weeks following the ritual?

Long-term results. What sort of changes have you observed over the following months or years?

You may choose to add other information you consider relevant, interesting, etc. Add drawings, poems, or other jottings if you like. Of course, you can always come back later and put in notations about things you thought of afterwards, dreams, discussions you may have had with fellow witches, and so on. It’s your book to work with however seems best for you.

**** This morning you might find yourself at odds with someone at work or even a neighbour, colleague or sibling. Don’t waste your energy on this. Instead, focus on relations with friends and groups, which will be positive. Today you’re willing to undergo some hardship to accomplish something.

If Your Birthday Is Today

King Charles (1948) shares your birthday today. You are creative and talented. Even though respect is important to you; nevertheless, your love life is colourful. This is a year of service for you, primarily service to family. Therefore, it’s important to take care of yourself so you can be a support. Time for a makeover?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It seems that good humor and thoughtfulness are going to bring you a long way this Thursday and although you might have some minor emotional meltdowns along the way when things are not exactly going on the way you want them, overall, the feeling is good.

This might also make you appear a lot more approachable and who knows what interesting person you might meet.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Some sort of unexplainable events might put you more than on your thoughts today and you will probably start searching for answers.

However, before you go all public with your perception you might want to consult with a close friend and see what they actually think about your idea and what you think you have experienced. Don’t think about SF but rather some emotional depth issues.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is going to be quite a stressful Thursday as some natives are going to deal with some problems with young people in their lives, whether this is because of the nature of their jobs or because the stars want to highlight a particular situation that is now happening at home.

A bit of patience with them will go a long way but you also need to be firm and impose your decision.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This day actually comes with little reasons of worry and with an actual feeling of relief. And you might not even be able to pin point why you are feeling the way you do but surely it will help you during your day to day activities.

You tend to have a lot more confidence in yourself but at the same time you are also more risk prone, an apparent side effect of all of the above.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It seems that you will be more busy today guarding your back than actually focusing on doing any of the tasks you actually planned for the day.

Some natives might end up just being suspicious for nothing while other natives have actual reasons to doubt the intentions of those around. A bit of betrayal might spice this day for some but the consequences are going to be long term.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It seems that the words which are going to open most doors for you this Thursday all have to do with working with people and in collaboration or partnership.

This is why you shouldn’t be reluctant if you are being proposed such work and to view things in a more relaxed way. At least until the whole goal and the people are revealed.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If we are talking about love, it seems that this Thursday you are benefited most. However, don’t expect for your partner to take all initiative because this will prove a failed plan.

You are not demanded to do anything grandiose, even spending a quiet night at home might be enough if you both manage to disconnect and relax.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your ideas are going to produce a degree of controversy around and it might be necessary that you explain them to certain people so you don’t get misunderstood.

Of course this part of explaining won’t really be fun and might actually get on your nerves but you need to weigh this with the possibility of getting officially into trouble or having to give later explanations.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The stars might be in your favor when it comes to artistic endeavors this Thursday but this doesn’t mean that you can get away with injustice.

So beware of producing any harm to others, on purpose or by mistakes. Of course you won’t do anything practical on purpose but you have no idea how harsh your words sometimes can be and how your criticism might be interpreted in a different way.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It seems that money is short or at least this is how you think about your current financial resources. And maybe it’s not such a bad way to view this, especially if it prevents you from spending it on things you don’t actually need.

However, this might not prevent you from having to say no to people who might want to borrow some money from you.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The current disposition seems to be a sign of good changes ahead but you will still have to wait for a while before you see any real signs.

Some events might take you by surprise earlier but for the most of it, the learning part and the reflection will come later. You need to trust your instincts and don’t throw yourself head first.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You seem to be in a great shape physically but mentally there are enough things to weigh you down. From different concerns, more or less realistic to plans that have gone disrupted and for which you still have hard feelings.

This is a good time for meditation and for sports and you might be able to find a mixture between the two in order to help with your mind.

November 14, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for November 14th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 12.97 days old and 97.86% illuminated with a tilt of 119.55°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 360,168.49 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for November 14th, 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.

15 November 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for November 15th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.01 days old and 99.96% illuminated with a tilt of 174.882°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 361,531.52 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for November 15th, 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.

Spells and Formulas Record Sheet c. 2015

You can print this out or save it on your computer. Even after practicing for over 45 years I find this page from Lady Abyss very helpful.

Spells and Formulas Record Sheet

 

TYPE OF SPELL OR FORMULA: This should state very clearly what the type of spell is e.g. blessing, binding etc. When developing formulas for lotions and potions, for instance, you need to be clear as to the exact purpose.

 

DATE AND TIME MADE: This gives a cross-reference should you wish to use the correct planetary hours or magical days.

 

REFERENCE: you should develop your own system of reference; this might be, for instance, according to the time of year or alphabetically. Do also remember to keep safely somewhere a record of how you have developed your reference system so that others may benefit from your experience.

 

ASTROLOGICAL PHASE: if you have an interest in astrology you will probably want to record where the planets are when you prepare the spell or formula. A decent ephemeris (list of planetary positions) can be of great help here though there are also many sources of information on the internet.

 

SPECIFIC PURPOSE: you should always state the specific purpose of the spell or formula very clearly. This is partly because it helps to focus your own mind, but also because it leaves no one in any doubt as to your intentions. Should you have more than one main purpose, you should also record these.

 

LIST OF INGREDIENTS AND/OR SUPPLIES NEEDED: Having all your ingredients to hand ensures that you are working with maximum efficiency and not misusing or needing to adjust the energy by leaving the sacred space. Also, when you repeat a working you will need to replicate what you did the first time; even one small change in ingredients can make a tremendous difference to the outcome.

 

SPECIFIC LOCATION REQUIRED: You may well need to perform some spells within a certain area or setting. Also you may discover that your own energy responds to some locations better than others.

 

DATE, TIME AND ASTROLOGICAL PHASE WHEN USED: In all probability you will not want all your spells to take effect at the time you cast them. suppose you have applied for a job and wish your spell to work at the time of interview. You would need to carefully calculate the date, time and astrological phase of the interview as well as the time you are actually casting your spell and incorporate both sets of information into your working.

 

RESULTS: Record carefully all aspects of results you feel are associated with your working. This record should include how successful you consider the spell to be and how it might be improved. There will be some unexpected results, some which appear not to give a tangible result and others which come into play some time after they were expected.

 

DEITIES INVOKED DURING PREPARATION AND/OR USE: Often a particular god can be helpful in bringing about a needed result for a spell. You will chose the most appropriate for your purpose and can always petition a different one at another time.

 

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATIONS AND/OR USE: Often when spell-working, movements and words are intuitive and instinctive; the more you are able to remember what you did the more likely you are to achieve similar results. Also, should you require them for someone to work on your behalf or to undertake someone else’s magical training, you will have an exact record.

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES: Here you should record for each occasion anything that seems strange, bizarre or noteworthy so that you know what to expect next time.

 

In each of the spells we give a list of ingredients and special articles which may be required to achieve a result for that particular spell. Because each individual brings their own energy into the process, you may find that you intuitively want to change something, whether that is an ingredient, a container or the words used. This is absolutely fine, and means that your spell has a very personal ‘feel’ to it.

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

Thank you for the interest you show in the content on WOTC!!

I will only be posting the correspondences and spells for tomorrow everything else will be posted on the date. I think part of my problem of readership falling off is having the same posts in the afternoon for tomorrow and reposting them in the morning. There will be different correspondences and spell for tomorrow and the regular daily posts.

If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft or witchcraft in general or herbs or flowers or anything else pertaining to 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 love, happiness, laughter, joy, and all things positive!

Blessed be.

I Need Your Help to Figure Out Why Readership is Going Down

Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Since August 2023 views have gone down by more than half. I have done surveys earlier this year to ask you what you want to see on the website as regular posts and have tried to keep the number of emails flooding your inbox down. After trying to do what you want with WOTC my readership has gone way down which means the small amount of money I can make has gone from being paid monthly to every three months. The ads viewed have to add up to $100.00 USD in order for me to make this amount of pocket money.

I am really wondering if you all would like me to give the website to someone else or just let it go completely. I’d keep paying the $40.00 USD yearly to keep the domain name. I feel I am leaving the founder of WOTC, Lady Abyss, down with these number dwindling every month.

Please help me figure out how I am failing you. Should I go back to about 15 to 20 posts every day to bring you more information on a daily basis? Are there regular posts I stopped to keep the number of emails you get that you would like to see me bring back?

You my dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends are the only ones that can help guide me by telling what you want from WOTC. This is your website more than it is mine I’m just the person behind the scenes bring you what you want. Please be honest even if you think you may sound brutal in the comments or write to me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com to tell me what I am doing wrong and what you want to see on here.

Thank you for taking your precious time to make a comment and/or write to me. I really do want and appreciate your input.
