Let’s Have Some Fun with a Contest – Prize is a 5-Card Animal Spirit or Helper Reading

Who remembers the name of these cartoon characters below from Saturday morning cartoons? Please only put the charter’s initials so you do not give their names away to others. 

In my house as a child the only time I got to eat a meal while sitting in front of the television was my breakfast on Saturday morning as long as my mom did not consider it messy. So, I think I ate cereal or toast with peanut butter on it every Saturday for most of my young childhood. After my dad crossed in 1970 I did not watch cartoons as much on Saturday mornings because whether he was at home or work, he drove an ambulance for what is now a large company in Illinois, providing he was not out on a call we watched or talked on the phone laughing them together. I remember these times as some of the best in my childhood!

…

The Moon phase for October 11th, 2026 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

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:

 Phase Details:

Phase: Waxing Crescent

Moon age: 0.58 days

Moon illumination: 0.46%

Moon tilt: 178.268°

Moon angle: 0.51

Moon distance: 390,257.32 km

The Eye

Third eye, seeing the truth, clairvoyance, someone’s watching, the evil eye and protection. This rune is my favorite. The all-seeing eye. It represents seeing things unseen, also seeing the beauty in things others don’t. Can also be a warning of the evil eye or someone watching.

Druid Ogham

Ur

Intimacy, gentleness, sweetness, kindness, positivity, partnership

Tree: Heather (Erica spp., Calluna spp.)

Letter: U

Ur speaks of deep relationships, family, mates, and close friendships in both the biological family and non-biological family sense. It is nearly impossible to survive as a true hermit. As much as it can seem desirable at times to cut oneself off from the rest of society, the truth is we are stronger together. One of the immeasurable benefits of a light touch — letting go of small grievances, avoiding childish selfishness, and not letting irritability get the upper hand — is deep and lasting relationships. When you want something, chances are coaxing rather than forcing will get you the result you want… just like the old saying “you win more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.” Depending on your personality or mood, sweetness may seem counterintuitive. This Ogham suggests perhaps sweetness/gentleness is the best policy.

Nature is often fantastically cruel but she is also a protector and nurturer. Ur is her nurturing side. Ur teaches the beauty of the long cycle and of the flow that often goes unnoticed by busy, modern people. True kindness improves everything around you. Just as a single common plantain has an important role to play in a many-acred meadow, your small act of graciousness will reverberate and help you to evolve into an improved version of yourself. Don’t underestimate a single time where you checked your temper or did the right thing when you were tempted to do the opposite. Everything you do matters. Everything you do is part of the flow. You are indeed being watched, if only by a more enlightened version of yourself who knows better.

Hexagram Twenty-Eight/28

The Flood rises above the tallest Tree:
Amidst a rising tide of human folly, the Superior Person retires to higher ground, renouncing his world without looking back.

Any direction is better than where you now stand.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Several high-priority concerns demand immediate attention.
All are crucial.
None will be denied.
Yet some demand the denial of others.
Like two atoms seeking to occupy the same space, these irresistible forces and immovable objects threaten to ignite a cataclysm that could irreversibly alter your world.
This is no time for fatal heroics.
You are at Ground Point Zero.
Remove yourself from this situation without delay.
Find sanctuary.
Later you may deal with these concerns on your own terms, from a position of strength

 

Numerology

One

From a spiritual perspective, the 1 is the number of creation – the primal force from which all other numbers spring forth. Some say once you truly understand the place and function of this elemental number, enlightenment will be yours.

This statement doesn’t apply to a Numerologist’s perspective alone, but perhaps it’s a good place to start since the personality of the number 1 aligns nicely with its elevated spiritual symbolism.

The 1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results.

The 1 is aggressive – a necessary trait for creating, and not allowing anything to limit its potential. The 1 is the spearhead, always in the forefront directing and leading others.

The shape of this number reflects its meaning; the 1 walks upright with pride and purpose – strong, determined, and unwavering with a specific goal in mind. The 1 is capable of turning ideas into reality – pushing obstacles aside or simply drilling right through them.

The 1 tends to have a simple, straightforward view of life, heedless of its many complexities.

An individual with the dynamic 1 trusts their ability to separate right from wrong, doesn’t waste time on abstract ideas, and rarely follows a path that isn’t in line with their result-oriented goal. The 1 is no preacher, no philosopher, spiritual explorer, nor dreamer – and certainly not an idealist. They are pragmatic, ruthless conquerors, and warriors extraordinaire. The 1 is individualistic and independent to a fault. They will attempt to force their viewpoint on you but have no desire to hear yours.

The 1 can be confrontational, jealous, and exceedingly stubborn, but also courageous and willing to try anything new (with promise) even at great risk. They have a sense of honor and responsibility that demands respect and are the first to defend injustice and hypocrisy.

Befriend a 1 and you have a friend for life.

Fortunately, the 1 has a great capacity for humor, often self-depreciating, so you can poke fun at your friend and not worry about hurt feelings. But don’t cater to them to win love or friendship or you will lose their respect. Stand up to a 1 and you may lose the fight, but you’ll gain admiration. Working for a 1 you will be pushed to the limit, abused at all hours, and incapable of living up to unreasonable expectations. But you will also become the best you can be.

When in trouble, you want a friend with a strong 1 on your side, and you won’t find a braver partner or a more dedicated protector. But, if the 1 is your enemy, you could be crushed without mercy. And be forewarned, the number 1 is the most difficult of all lovers, demanding, jealous, confrontational, and impatient.

If you have a 1 in your core numbers, your happiness and sense of satisfaction will come from your work more than any other source.

Being a Libra born on October 10th…

 Astrological symbol: Scales. This symbol is representative for those born September 23 – October 21, when the Sun transits the Libra zodiac sign. It represents balance, knowledge but also permanent duality.

 The Libra Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac and lies between Virgo to the West and Scorpio to the East. It has no first magnitude stars. This constellation is quite small spread on an area of only 538 square degrees and covering visible latitudes between +65° and -90°.

 The name Libra comes from the Latin name for Scales. This is the most common used name to define the zodiac sign for October 10 zodiac sign, however in Greek they call it Zichos.

 Opposite sign: Aries. This reflects upon honesty and confidence and the fact that a cooperation between the Libra and Aries sun signs, whether in business or love is beneficial for both parts.

 Modality: Cardinal. This modality exposes the goal-driven nature of those born on October 10 and their effectiveness and protection regarding most existential aspects.

 Ruling house: The seventh house. This house rules over partnerships, whether these refer to a spouse or a business partner. This explains the importance that each Libra takes in surrounding only with the people whom can offer the support for their true accomplishment.

 Ruling body: Venus. This planet is said to govern over desire and enthusiasm and also reflects the vigilance inheritance. Venus is consistent with Aphrodite, the goddess of love in Greek mythology.

 Element: Air. This element symbolizes creation and perpetual change and is considered to influence people under the October 10 zodiac sign. Air also gets new meanings in association with fire, making things heat up, evaporating water while earth seems to suffocate it.

 Negative Traits: One of the things Libra needs to learn is to remember from time to time to take care of their own needs and leave worrying for the problems of others on second place. Those born on this day are extreme worriers and when they get in this mood, then become the most unreliable and childish people. They are sometimes intolerant and selfish despite their fame of being the most helpful and understanding people. They also have their moments of being fastidious and controlling.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today 

Lady of the Abyss 1961 – 2019

Lady of the Abyss has been on my mind a lot again lately. For those of you that have joined us after her crossing may not know that she founded WOTC in the 1990s. Breaking the taboo of real witchcraft not the media false type coming into the mainstream vast modern world wide web. Lady A had the website up for sale and I called her expressing I wish I could purchase it. At this time I had a year or two old different website that LAdy A talked me into doing to apprentice those new to The Craft and those wanting to learn more. She asked me many questions about keeping her dream of the Goddesses and Gods were brought out in a true and honest way. Than we went on to talk about other more personal things. As we were getting ready to hang up she said in no uncertain words, “I will give you WOTC because I know you will keep my commitment to the Goddess will be carried on.” To say I was surprise is an understatement as I started crying happy tears we discussed when and how I would take WOTC over. Of course I thanked her during that call many time and making the commitment to her and the Goddess to carry on what she had started so long ago. We talked more often during her last days about WOTC and how to do things on it, very personal things and just enjoyed each others company. Now I think she knew she was going to cross the veil soon but didn’t want to put the “burden” of carrying that knowledge with her. The rest of my journey in accepting she was physically gone took time. I called and she came to me on the first Samhain after her crossing to tell me she will always be with me to guide me in my work on what is her website. Even though it is approximately seven years her spirit crossed the veil she still comes when I get into a confused state on what to post on a given day. I have this same picture of her up at eye level in my office and look at her smiling face often with a thank you for what she gifted me with. When I want to retire I Will be looking for someone to take over and ask them many of the same questions she asked me on that phone call that changed my life.

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. 

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

Blessed be
