In Celebration of Lammas – Using Crystals for Abundance

by Spiralotus

Abundance is the connection to the source of all that is; manifesting a constant flow to support, nourish and expand life as well as creativity. In Chinese Feng Shui the wealth corner is the corner farthest away and to the far left of the front door or the southeast corner, depending on what system you use. If you like to use this system you can set up crystals to attract various forms of abundance there.

Some crystals that are associated with abundance are usually green, yellow, gold or orange. However there are other stones that do not have those colors and work just as well. Yellow Sapphire is associated with Ganesh, Hindu god of prosperity. This stone attracts wealth to the home. An Abundance Crystal is a Quartz crystal with one long part and many tiny crystals at the base to encourage dreams, well-being, and love. Tiger’s Eye helps people with material things and assists by showing the best way to do something. It stimulates wealth and helps create stability to maintain wealth. Citrine should be placed in your wealth corner to attract abundance. Carnelian improves motivation and getting out of a rut. Peridot brings wealth quickly and is best for someone who already has things under control. Topaz helps you appreciate life and makes room for abundance. It taps into your own natural resources and because its facets carry both negative as well as positive charges, it helps manifest desires.

When you decide on a crystal to use cleanse it first by running it under water, charging it in the sun or moon, putting it in a pyramid, or if you are a Reiki practitioner, simply Reiki your crystal. Some people put their crystals in sea salt. This is a great way to cleanse them, just make sure the crystal that you are working with will not be damaged by the salt. Always throw away your salt when you are done.

You can program your crystal to attract a specific form of abundance by holding it in your hands and picturing what you want to manifest in your life. Make sure you keep your area for your crystal clean and charged. Periodically smudging the area will help you with this. In your abundance area you may wish to include something that represents Deity to you and perhaps the type of abundance you want to bring into your life. Being as specific as possible helps to create the energy you wish to attract. As your wealth increases in material, spiritual, and emotional areas be sure to give thanks for what has manifested in your life.

The Witches Guide to Lammas

A guide to the Sabbat’s symbolism

 

by Arwynn MacFeylynnd

Date: August 1 or 2.

Alternative names: Lughnassadh, Lammastide, August Eve, Harvest Home, Ceresalia (Roman, in honor of the grain goddess Ceres), First Fruits, Festival of Green Corn (Native American), Feast of Cardenas, Cornucopia (Strega), Thingtide and Elembiuos. Lammas, an Anglo-Saxon word, means “loaf mass.” Lughnassadh is named for the Irish sun god Lugh (pronounced Loo), and variant spellings are Lughnasadh, Lughnasad, Lughnassad, Lughnasa and Lunasa.

Primary meanings: This festival has two aspects. First, it is one of the Celtic fire festivals, honoring the Celtic culture-bringer Lugh (Lleu to the Welsh, Lugus to the Gauls). In Ireland, races and games were held in his name and that of his mother, Tailtiu (these may have been funeral games). Second, the holiday is the Saxon Feast of Bread, at which the first of the grain harvest is consumed in ritual loaves. These aspects are not too dissimilar, as the shamanic death and transformation of Lleu can be compared to that of the Barley God, known from the folksong “John Barleycorn.”

Lammas celebrates the first of three harvest celebrations in the Craft. It marks the beginning of autumn, the start of the harvest cycle, and relies on the early crops of ripening grain and any fruits and vegetables ready to be harvested. It is associated with bread because grain is one of the first crops harvested. Those in the Craft often give thanks and honor now to gods and goddesses of the harvest, as well as those who represent death and resurrection.

Symbols: All grains, especially corn and wheat, corn dollies, sun wheels, bread, harvesting and threshing tools and the harvest full moon. Altar decorations might include corn dollies or kirn babies (corncob dolls) to symbolize the Mother Goddess of the Harvest. Other appropriate decorations include summer flowers and grains. You might also wish to have a loaf of whole cracked wheat or multigrain bread upon the altar, baked in the shape of the sun.

Colors: Red, orange, gold, yellow, citrine, green, grey and light brown.

Gemstones: Yellow diamonds, aventurine, sardonyx, peridot and citrine.

Herbs: Acacia flowers, aloes, chamomile, cornstalks, cyclamen, fenugreek, frankincense, heather, hollyhock, myrtle, oak leaves, passionflower, rose, rose hips, rosemary, sandalwood, sunflowers and wheat.

Gods and goddesses: Lugh, Thor, John Barleycorn (the personification of malt liquor), Demeter, Danu, Ceres, sun gods, corn mothers, all grain and agriculture deities, mother goddesses and father gods.

Customs and myths: Spellwork for prosperity, abundance and good fortune are especially appropriate now, as well as spells for connectedness, career, health and financial gain. Sacrifice is often associated with this holiday. Visits to fields, orchards, lakes and wells are also traditional. It is considered taboo not to share your food with others now.

Activities appropriate for this time of the year are baking bread, wheat weaving and making corn dollies or other god and goddess symbols. You may want to string Indian corn on black thread to make a necklace, or bake cornbread sticks shaped like little ears of corn for your Sabbat cakes. The corn dolly may be used both as a fertility amulet and as an altar centerpiece.

Some pagans bake Lammas bread in the form of a god-figure or sun wheel — if you do this, be sure to use this bread in your Lammas ritual’s cakes and ale ceremony, if you have one. During the Lammas ritual, some consume bread or something from the first harvest. Some gather first fruits; others symbolically throw pieces of bread into a fire.

Being an Aquarius born on January 30th, intense mental activity takes you places and often you strive to go to the places others only dream about. You spend a lot of time with friends but also feel like breaking circles and moving somewhere to experience something else.

Like a warrior, you are fighting your own limitations and often, in important stages of your life, will come out a winner from this. Prepare to read a detailed personality report below.

 The zodiac sign for January 30 is Aquarius.

 Astrological symbol: Water Bearer. This symbol suggests the freshness and sense of progress in the lives of these natives. It is characteristic for people born between January 20 and February 18 under the Aquarius zodiac sign.

 The Aquarius Constellation with visible latitudes between +65° to -90° and the brightest star alpha Aquarii, is one of the twelve zodiac constellations. It is spread on an area of 980 sq degrees between Capricornus to the West and Pisces to the East.

 The name Aquarius is the Latin name for Water Bearer. In Greece, Idroxoos is the name of the sign for January 30 zodiac sign, while in Spain is Acuario and in France Verseau.

 Opposite sign: Leo. This means that this sign and Aquarius are a straight line across each other on the zodiac wheel and can create an opposition aspect. This suggests detachment and joyfulness as well as an interesting cooperation between the two sun signs.

 Modality: Fixed. The quality proposes the reliable nature of those born on January 30 and their enlightenment and help in regard to most life situation.

 Ruling house: The eleventh house. This is a space of dream, higher goals and friendship. It strengthens the importance of social contact, openness and friendly behavior. This explains why Aquarius, the chief dreamer and idealist of the zodiac is placed here.

 Ruling body: Uranus. This planetary ruler symbolizes liberation and creativity and also reflects on humor. The Uranus glyph is composed by the cross confined both sides above a circle.

 Element: Air. This element suggests a peaceful existence, often observing and taking note of what is going on around and benefits those born under the January 30 zodiac. When associated with the water elements is said to evaporate it.

 Lucky day: Tuesday. This is a day ruled by Mars, therefore symbolizes faith and vehemence and identifies best with the Aquarius natives who are independent.

 Lucky numbers: 3, 8, 15, 16, 23.

 Motto: “I know”

People born on January 30 can be defined as introspective, cooperative, extremely mentally active and unconventional. Just like a true Aquarius they are caring free thinkers with great supervisory skills. They enjoy having to fight for a cause and having close mates around. They hate boring settings and being disconcerted by other people. The best setting for those born under this sign brings together mates and new adventures.

 Positive traits: Dependable and philanthropic, these people are very popular and find it easy to connect with their peers. Aquarius people are usually broad minded, interested in learning new things and sociable beings ready to help other in need. Those born under this sign are also original and oriented towards novelty, this love of new referring to both new things in their lives and meeting new people.

 Negative traits: Strained and often erratic, these natives are not very conscientious as they transformation their beliefs and sometimes even beliefs, based on a whim. They are inefficient and easily distracted although they are aware of the importance of the work they are performing. They might be deemed as caring with other people but they can also turn to be cold and detached when they feel people don’t understand them.

They are attracted to people who can accept their eccentricities and keep up with them. You can conquer the heart of Aquarius if you master the art of revealing who you are step by step so they never get bored. When they are single they act just about the same as when they are in a relationship, they seem to have no restrictions and just live their life at its fullest.

 In love, they don’t settle for less than what they consider it’s best for them. They like to progress slowly in love, get to know all about their loved one. When someone catches their attention they are a loyal but pretentious lover, sometimes prone to controlling behavior and fits of jealousy. Creative, freedom lovers, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th. January 30 Zodiac people are most attached to the other two air signs: Gemini and Libra as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Aquarius is in a constant search for someone who can understand their inquisitive and adventurous nature and the best to offer them this is actually another Aquarius.

So Mote It Be! ”

Imbolc marks the Irish pagan start of spring – something is stirring

As the great wheel turns, we find ourselves slowly re-emerging from the deep dreamtime of winter into the portal of Imbolc.

Kathy Scott Trailblazery  

The Wheel of the Year is a medicine wheel marked and celebrated by most, indigenous cultures around the earth in their own ways.

In Ireland, the ancient ones measured their cosmos in wheels, spirals, in the movement of the stars, and the rising and setting of the sun and moon.

The ancient Irish were deeply connected to the land, the seasons, and the cycles of the natural world and honored these portals with ritual and ceremony. Our ancestors have gifted us with a rich cultural inheritance aligned with the rhythms and patterns of the natural world. This cyclical way of living offers great wisdom that can support and resource our wellbeing today as ‘ancestors-in-training’.

Imbolc marks the quickening

The word Imbolc derives from the Irish, ‘i mbolg’, meaning ‘in the belly’, or “first milk” in the old Irish Neolithic language. It heralds the birthing season, as the soon-to-be-born lambs are growing in their mother’s bellies. Another powerful metaphor to describe this time is ‘winter pregnant with summer’. The seeds of summer are still hidden deep in the earth, in the womb of the goddess and while the worst of the winter darkness is over, Spring has not fully arrived yet.

In the ancient Celtic tradition, there is a celebration of the relationship between the dualistic forces of light and darkness, between what is seen and Click here to read the rest of this article about Imbolc from www.irishcentral.com

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought and a Little Humor for Today

We are some of the keepers of Gaia/Mother Earth carry a bag with you when you go for a walk to pick up trash that others are to lazy to dispose of the right way. Teach your children and grandchildren that trees are very important to life on our world. If you want use something from a tree for a spell or ritual please ask the trees permission or if it is on the ground thank the tree for whatever you pick up. Thank the tree for it’s piece for your use and give it an offering. Personally I take an extra bottle of water with me when seeking a branch or leaf or whatever and pour it on the base of the tree to give back for what it gave me to use.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things! Blessed be. 

Good for you and any living thing we share Mother Earth/Gaia with.

Moon Phase for Jan 28, 2025

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on January 28 has an illumination of 1%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On January 28 the Moon is 28.69 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Phase Details for – January 28

Phase: Waning Crescent
Illumination: 1%
Moon Age: 28.69 days
Moon Angle: 0.52
Moon Distance: 381,314.64 km

Moon Phase for Jan 29

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Moon Phase for Wednesday Jan 29th

The current moon phase for January 29th, 2025 is the New Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is -0.24 days old and 0.07% illuminated with a tilt of -116.702°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 375,275.23 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for January 29th, 2025 is the New Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth and is 0% illuminated (i.e the moon is not visible to us in the sky).

Due to the alignment of the Sun, the Moon and Earth, the side of the moon that faces Earth is left in complete darkness. In technical terms this is referred to as a conjunction or Syzygy.

Also, during the New Moon phase, the moon rises and sets at around the same time as the Sun. This brings to the moon too close to the glare of the Sun for us to see the moon with the naked eye.

Fun fact: The moon can’t emit its own light, it can only reflect the light from the Sun’s rays. Since there is no sunlight during the New Moon phase there is nothing to reflect, so the moon becomes completely dark and unable to be seen in the sky.

Phase Details – Jan 29th

Phase: New Moon

Moon age: -0.24 days

Moon illumination: 0.07%

Moon tilt: -116.702°

Moon Phase for Thursday Jan 30th

The current moon phase for January 30th, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 0.8 days old and 0.83% illuminated with a tilt of 127.512°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 371,633.86 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for January 30th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

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 illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

Phase Details – Jan 30th

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent 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. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Welcome to WOTC! How Posts Are Posted is Changing Again

I have been doing almost daily posts for more than 4 years with views continuing going downhill so I have decided to switch up how I post the regular daily moon phases. I have gotten more than one email complaining on the number of posts WOTC send to your inboxes daily so I am going to change that. I realize that people might have as much time as they did say even a year ago to read all the daily posts as they go up now and certainly not as much free time as when I took over WOTC almost 6 years ago. This will take the daily count of emails coming to your inbox down from 16 to about 8-10. I don not know what else I can combine to make few emails going out to you each day. This should also give me at least one full day off from posting every week which I find I need to lower pressure on myself which will help to lower my stress levels and get my fibromyalgia and anxiety back under control with less medicine and herbs. I understand some people may not like the posts this way while others will enjoy them better. Either way leave me a comment on what you think about the posts being done like this. These changes are starting today.

Instead of doing the daily posts for both hemispheres the moon phases for both phases will be done in one post each for the entire week starting today but will normally be posted on Sundays. This way both hemispheres will have the tomorrow phases for an entire week to help you plan your magick with the moon’s current phase if you practice that way.

The daily correspondences and spells will be in one post for the day of and tomorrow.

The daily divination journal, daily and birthday traits horoscopes will go back to being in just one post.

There will still be two extra posts about different witchy topics on most days.

The thought and humor for today posts will be posted on most days together at the end of all the other posts, instead one at the start and one at the end.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things! Blessed be.

If you want to see information on any tradition of witchcraft, herbs, flowers, a Goddess or a God, or anything pertaining to 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.

If you were born on January 27, you’re a highly imaginative mover and shaker who prefers to spend life charging ahead unrestricted, exploring new ideas and inventions and setting trends along the way. Your natural exuberance gives you a childlike quality that others may not always take seriously, but once you learn to practice patience and commit to a few long-term jobs or relationships, you’re capable of real staying power.

January 27 Aquarius at Their Best: Creative, intelligent, adaptable

January 27 Aquarius at Their Worst: Immature, unrealistic, scattered

What to Wear: Anything — from tie-dye and glitter to stripes, plaids and check, erratically combined.

What to Eat: Original dishes that reflect global consciousness. If it’s earth-friendly, local, or sustainable, Aquarius will celebrate it!

Who to Invite: If humanitarians like Angelina Jolie and Bono aren’t available, round up the usual suspects at the nearest protest rally.

Where to Go: In a public park — if weather makes that a no-go, move it into a unique space like an arcade, skating rink or museum.

Moon Phase

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

28 January 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for January 28th, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 28.23 days old and 2% illuminated with a tilt of -77.458°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 379,809.84 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for January 28th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

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 illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.
