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.
The Elemental powers of the four directions or quarters are usually needed when we perform magick, particularly when we wish to achieve an import work. You will probably find that your own group or yourself has its own traditions in doing this. As we see elsewhere, the four worlds manifested in a certain order; Fire, Air, Water and finally Earth, and magickal procedures should strictly follow this for perfect manifestation. However over the years in different traditions, diverse methods have been put forward, so if working alone you must find which suits you best, and if working in a group you will follow given practice. We call the quarters clockwise, starting with the East.
The East represents the Elemental Air, helps give to us clarity of vision and purpose and represents intellectual power. You will appeal to this element principally in any working to do with the mind – when studying for exams perhaps of when you need inspiration for new projects.
The South is the realm of Fire, the most potent of all of the Elements. It signifies the purifying element in nature, that which consumes all others; through it, mastery of the other three is achieved. It is a dynamic force, purification and passion, and is perceived as the Inner Guardian of the Temple. You will use this element in your workings when you need creativity, cleansing or protection from malevolent energy.
The West stands for all those watery things like our psychi and emotional nature so, of course, it represents the element of Water, through it should be remembered that within that representation lies both depth and movement. The qualities are often see as passive, and feminine, but would be appealed to particularly when removing hexes and curses or when revitalizing is important.
The North give us the solidity of Earth which in turn allows us to manifest the results of our work. It nourishes and grounds us, giving a solid basis for which to create. While it is a complex element containing within it aspects of all the previous ones, it also shows simplicity to enable us to gain access to greater energy which comes from the Ultimate. You would use this Element to create tangibility and stability as well as for issues to do with fertility and productiveness.
Lastly, the Centre is called. This is the realm of Aether or Spirit and is both the synthesis of all four of the other elements and their progenitor. In calling on Spirit you are calling upon all that is, was and shall be and therefore an energy of high vibration. For this reason it is usually best that the centre is called by a high priest or priestess or at least by someone who has been properly initiated and trained. Spirit manifests in so many different ways that often only someone versed in the process will recognize what is happening.

Natural Magic: Spells, Enchantments & Self-Development Ball, Pamela (2002-11-20).Hopefully, by the time you reach the end of this book, you will be able to answer that question for yourself. In the meantime, the following is a short list of benefits you can gain from doing regular witchcraft spells and rituals.
Disrupt the Trance of Everyday Life
Your practice should shift you out of the well-worn mental pathways of your daily life. The spells and rituals you do should make you pause in your day, be conscious and aware of who you are, where you are, and what your aims are. Any spells, consciously performed, should prevent you from being a purely mechanical robot.
Connect You with Spirit
Staying connected to Spirit is essential to attracting what you really want in your life. You can connect with Spirit through any or all of the spells and rituals described in this book. Any spell that quiets the mind or puts us in touch with physical sensation will bring us into contact with Spirit.
Help You Access Powers and Beings
Creating what we want in life is much easier when we have help. A daily practice of witchcraft or magic that puts you in contact with angels, guides, totem Spirits, and other helpers can increase your ability to attract what you want in life. Remember that there is a helpful being for just about anything you want— don’t be afraid to ask!
Help You Remember What You Want
Many of us go through our days in a reactionary mode— we are not choosing our thoughts and actions so much as we are reacting to the stimulus around us. Daily performance of magical rituals and spells helps us remember what we really want in life, and keeps us from sabotaging ourselves with unwanted reactions. For instance, if your goal is to create peace and harmony in life, a daily witchcraft practice can keep you in touch with Spirit, reminding you not to react angrily to your co-worker’s insults.
Be in Accordance with Universal Principles
Doing daily spells and rituals that are designed with Universal principles in mind is much more effective than those that are not— plus, they are guaranteed to be safe. Sound spells follow Rules of the Road, principles such as “as above, so below,“ and four element principles. For instance, if you’re designing a ritual to help you gain knowledge, you want to work with the principles of the magical element Air. If you want a ritual that will help you act, you want to work with Fire.

Alan G. Joel
Anyone can cast a powerful spell. If you think you’re not powerful enough or not magickal enough, or if you’re still a little skeptical about Witchcraft, don’t worry about it.
You will still be able to perform very effective magick, if you can follow some very simple rules. These rules are very important principles that will underlie in all magickal spells you ever perform.
Magick, using tools and words and spells, just enhances this natural ability that your mind has to attract.
Magick lets you powerfully attract what you want, and it works because of the Law of Attraction.
The key is to make sure that everything you do is in line with your goals. All your thoughts, all your actions, and everything you do should be in agreement with what you are trying to attract.
You must think positive and imagine the reality you wish to achieve with your spell.
Your spells will not work unless you put your entire being into achieving your goal.
Magic without the proper intention is just a bunch of rhyming words.
When you do magic, you want it work for you.
Always make sure that you avoid anything that contradicts or goes against the purpose of your spell.
Make negative statement will cancel out any positive energy created by your spell. The means that the spell won’t work.
When you cast a spell, you need to be confident that it will succeed. In fact, the more confident you are, the more successful you spell is likely to be.
When practicing Witchcraft the two most common elements that we all have in common are the magick circle and the altar.
Let’s talk about how to set up your own magick circle and altar.
The circle is a powerful Witch’s tool. It’s the space where your magick happens. It is a sacred space that only you can create for yourself.
The magick circle has been used by witches and other magicians of various cultures: American Indians, Babylonians, and many others have used the magick circle.
The magick circle protects the witch from the forces that he or she is raising. It’s also used to shut out any energy or forces from outside which will interfere with the ritual.
The circle also contains your own personal power while you are working magick, holding and channeling it or your purposes.
Essentially the circle creates the atmosphere for all the magick you will do. It is a sphere of energy that forms the boundaries of your magickal space.
You will need some kind of way of marking the boundaries of your circle.
You can use a long piece of cord, or if you are outdoors, draw a circle of chalk, or use other objects to mark the outside of your circle.
Traditionally, a magick circle is nine feet in diameter. If you have space constraints, make it as big or as small as you are able to.
As you set up your circle, try to feel its energy moving around you. Focus on creating your perfect magickal space, the place where you can access your true power.
Once you have your circle, it’s time to decide what will go inside it.
The altar is the space where your tools will go. It can be made of anything, but wood is the best choice. Your altar doesn’t have to be fancy.
It can be a cardboard box covered with cloth, two cinder blocks with a board on top, a small coffee table or even a large, flat rock.
Traditionally, the altar is set in the center of the circle, facing North.
But what items will go on your altar, and where should you place them?
On the left side of the altar you place items such as your crystal, your cauldron(if it will fit), and a silver or white candle.
Your broom also goes on the left side, next to the altar.
On the right side is the place for your magick wand and your incense.
You can be as creative as you wish with your altar. Make it personal, and choose items which are both powerful and meaningful to you.
In the middle you can place some flowers if you like, plus all the ingredients you will need for your spell. Don’t forget matches for the candles, and a place to put the used matches.
Make sure you have all your spell ingredients ready before you begin, so that you do not have to leave the circle once you have started your ritual.
The altar is where you will do your spell casting. That’s why it’s in the center of the circle—it’s the focal point of your ritual.
Again, how you choose to do this is up to you. There’s no one right way to set up an altar.
All that matters is that you choose items that are magickally powerful and that you feel a connection with.
The magick will do the rest.

While the moon is waxing (moving from new to full) it is the perfect time to perform prosperity magic. We want to bring things into our lives during this moon cycle, and who doesn’t want a little extra money.
As the saying goes, sometimes you have to spend money to make money. This spell requires a few ingredients but packs a powerful punch, calling upon the ancestors for aid. Feel free to purchase only the necessary products, customize it to your will or perform the spell in it’s entirety.
A 7 day candle jar and a green 7 day pillar candle
A jar of Money Draw Herbal Blend
A jar of Magnet Attraction Sachet Powder
A roll of charcoal pucks
a Pyrite stone
Begin by cleansing your empty jar with some sage smoke and your candle by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take 3 full breaths while holding your candle and visualize money and prosperity flowing effortlessly into your life. Connect with your intention deeply, use all your senses. Breathe your intention onto your candle 3 times and whisper your intention.
To dress your candle first choose a symbol or create a sigil for prosperity. The dollar sign works like a charm. Carve your symbol or sigil and your intention onto your candle. Next run the prosperity oil over top of your candle. Move in a clockwise direction from the top to the bottom to draw prosperity to you. Finally apply the money draw herbal blend to your oiled candle. Once your candle is fully dressed and charged place your candle in a fire safe container on your altar.
Write down that which you want to draw into your life onto your ancestor money. Be specific, ask for a precise amount of money and if it’s to pay bills don’t forget to include when you need it by. Offer the money to your ancestors for their help. Call them by name and make sure to give them an offering they like.
Place your ancestor money under your candle on your altar. Continue by placing the lucky horseshoe around your candle so that it sits in the ring of luck. Don’t forget to charge the horseshoe with your intention. Light your candle stating your intention while doing so.
In a fire proof bowl, on top of a bed of sand or salt, light your charcoal puck. place a scoop of magnet attraction sachet powder onto the lit puck and allow the incense to surround your spell. Inhale it and feel rich from the inside out. After the spell you can also place some of the powder in your wallet and sprinkle it onto your money.
Take your pyrite stone and anoint it in the magnet attraction smoke. For an added bonus anoint it with your prosperity oil. Hold it in your dominant hand and spend 10-30 minutes focusing on your intention. Feel yourself financially rich. When you are ready, safely take your ancestor money and light it from your candle and burn it knowing with certainty that your ancestors will come to your aid.
Take some time to divine any messages your candle flame has to offer. Candle flames can indicate possible blocks or results of your spell depending on the way it is burning.
Allow the candle to burn out then dispose of your spell work. This can be over several days. Carry the pyrite stone on your for and extra boost of prosperity. Lastly, don’t forget to offer your ancestors some of their favourite treats. Tobacco, tea, beer, cookies work depending on their preference.

Interested to always find out more, you dedicate a lot of time, especially with age, to self-development endeavours. Prepare to read a special report below.
The zodiac sign for April 10 is Aries.
Astrological symbol: Ram. It is representative for people born between March 21 and April 19 when the Sun is in Aries. This symbol denotes a strong individual who is quick to take action but also goes head first.
The Aries Constellation is one of the 12 zodiac constellations, placed between Pisces to the West and Taurus to the East on an area of 441 sq degrees with the brightest stars being Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis and the most visible latitudes +90° to -60°.
The Latin name for the Ram, the April 10 zodiac sign is Aries. The French name it Bélier while the Greeks call it Kriya.
Opposite sign: Libra. This suggests innovation and support and shows how Libra natives are thought to represent and have everything Aries sun sign people ever wanted.
Modality: Cardinal. This modality reveals the philosophical nature of those born on April 10 and their friendliness and persistence in life in general.
Ruling house: The first house. This placement suggests the physical presence of an individual, the beginning of all cycles and the individual nature of a person.
Ruling body: Mars. This planet reflects drive and warmth. It also suggests the productivity component. Mars is equivalent to Ares, the Greek god of the war.
Element: Fire. This is a symbol that relates to temper and vitality and is said to govern the industrious people born under the April 10 zodiac sign. When it is combined with water it makes things boil, models earth or heats up air.
Lucky day: Tuesday. As many consider Tuesdays as the most laboring day of the week, it identifies with the combative nature of Aries and the fact this day is ruled by Mars only strengthens this connection.
Lucky numbers: 7, 9, 13, 15, 21.
Motto: I am, I do!
People born on April 10 are industrious but they also need a lot of change in order to progress. You find them most happy when they are organizing things and argument on a wide range of things. They try to avoid any situation in which they might have to wait for something to happen be it something practical or not. They enjoy big gatherings but also prefer to say things as they are so they are not afraid of truth no matter how hard it may sound.
Positive Traits: These are imaginative natives but possess a lot of logic as well and they seem to combine these perfectly in day to day life. They are ambitious and thrive when achieving their goals. They are keen tempered and usually vibrate when change produces in their lives. They feel as if perpetual change is essential for their development so they lose interest quickly and get bored easily.
Negative Traits: These natives are impolite and boastful at times and they prefer that everyone do as they want. They pretend to be the only ones with the right explanations and rapid fixes and they are easily harmed by anyone who even tries to say a word contrastingly. They are prone to anguish and even to depression because they prefer to add up annoyance each and every time and they never seem to discuss how they feel with anyone.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 10 are both sentimental and passionate. They have no patience for courtship so they step this stage and go directly to professing their deep passions. They can be easily swept off their feet by eccentric and mysterious persons. Magic ends only if their partner can’t keep up with their incredibly active pace. Aries is also falling for simplicity and real enthusiasm. When they are single they focus on their ideas and plans and seem to be even more productive.

People who have red as sign color express themselves with creativity and imagination as they possess an appreciable artistic flair. They are mostly cheerful, rarely moody and extroversion is their way of life. On the other hand red is temper and anger so when provoked they tend to get aggressive.

Other colors that suit Aries natives are scarlet and carmine.

This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Aries zodiac sign with a great accent on the positive ones.

If you were born on April 10, you are one brave son of a gun! There’s something missing inside you — some say it’s fear, some say it’s sanity! There’s no mountain you won’t climb, wave you won’t ride, or mission you won’t take head-on. You are likely to do incredible things in life, but don’t forget to think about your friends and family who love you and want to be healthy and safe. Enjoy your action-packed lifestyle, but don’t be afraid to be happy and content when things are calm.
April 10 Aries at Their Best: Involved, courageous, daring

Who to Invite: Everybody who even remotely knows this dynamic individual — life is, after all, all about Aries!

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON APRIL 10, you are a playful and cheerful Ram. You like taking the bull by the horn so it is not easy for you turn control over to someone else.
You live for the next challenge. You have a competitive streak, Aries. The 10th April birthday personality can be little wicked as well. It is best to let you set your own rules. It is more peaceful that way.

You do not need anyone’s approval before making a decision. You also are likely to be competitive and focused. Actually, your birthday characteristics show that you are incredibly alert and perceptive.
Arians with an April 10th zodiac birthday maintain certain popularity that is usually on the low side. Although you may have many positive associations, friendships are kept to a minimum. You tend to stay away from drama and avoid confrontations as much as possible.
What your birthday also says is that if you find out that someone is not loyal, you will disown that person. Betrayal is the ultimate set back… it is pretty much a deal breaker.
It is no surprise that you attract those who are different from you. When it comes to relationships, you sometimes rush in when you know you should not. Arians born on this day love to be in love. You get excited and lose sight of the other person’s desires. Having a mate ranks high on your list of important things.
The 10th April birthday horoscope predicts that you would be happiest in partnerships that shower you with attention and affection. You are loyal to those that are devoted to you. Your sex drive is only masked by your romantic and thoughtful gestures. In efforts for your mate to show appreciation, they wind up seducing you! They never knew what hit them.
You are comfortable in your confident skin. You prefer working as a team member instead of by yourself. Spread your energies to get an idea of which profession is your best fit. Perhaps a family member’s profession influences you.
Normally an Arian will not act in haste or make decisions based on emotions but every once in a while; you will step out of your comfort zone and makes an irrational decision. Otherwise, you are a planner.
Arians need to take naps if you cannot seem to get the proper rest when it is bedtime. Not being able to sleep is a sign of something deeper. Your body knows when to shut down but you do not want that to happen.
The 10 April birthday meanings suggest that you are a lighthearted and jovial Ram. This Arian has a sense of discovery. You are naturally competitive and alert. Betrayal to you is the end of the road. The relationship becomes invalid at that point.

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 12.49 days old and 95.5% illuminated with a tilt of 155.322°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,021.93 km and the moon sign is Virgo.
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.
Phase: Waxing Gibbous
Moon age: 12.49 days
Moon illumination: 95.5%
Moon tilt: 155.322°

During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Each zodiac moon sign lasts about 2 to 2.5 days as the Moon travels through that part of the sky.
