Your Horoscopes for Wednesday, April 7th

Although life might seem more enjoyable with the Moon traveling through lively Leo, there are still complications that can set obstacles in our path. We may be feeling the electric buzz of nervous energy since cerebral Mercury aligns with shocking Uranus this morning. As if things weren’t moving fast enough already, Mercury jumps into jittery Gemini at 10:56 am EDT. However, a sobering Venus-Saturn aspect cools us down and delays satisfaction.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your mind may wander in so many directions all at once that it’s challenging to concentrate today. You are so optimistic now that you might actually believe you can successfully juggle everything you have in process. But even your enthusiasm has its limits. Stop for a moment and take careful inventory of what you’re doing. Considering what could be temporarily eliminated enables you to fully focus on those tasks that should be top priority.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You could miss your chance if you don’t take immediate action today. You have been waiting for the right moment long enough and further analysis won’t likely bring you any more clarity than you already have. Although you cannot stop the thoughts from going in circles, you can lessen the noise by boldly moving ahead, even if you aren’t one hundred percent sure of your choice. Nearly any movement now is better than none at all. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your message could get lost in a flurry of too many words today even if you have lots of clever ideas to share. Examine your motives closely; chatty Mercury’s yearly return to your sign can make you even more loquacious than ever. If you want to be understood by others, slow down your delivery; keep your presentation short and to the point. However, if your goal is just to amuse yourself, you really don’t need an audience at all.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The universe is giving you permission to escape today, even if only in your mind. Luckily, you can use your imagination to travel anywhere in time and space, for your thoughts seem as if they are almost real. Tread carefully; don’t make the mistake of believing that fantasy is a replacement for real-life experiences. Visualize all the amazing possibilities before choosing where to go next. The sky is the limit

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to connect with everyone on your mind. Your popularity feels quite lovely, but it also distracts you from the work you should be doing today. However, you could have the best of both worlds now if you concentrate on enjoying your interactions with others while you further develop your business contacts. Networking can be fun as you continue to establish your place within the community. You don’t have to be the star of the show to have a good time.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you might appear to be overwhelmed at work today, you’re a lot calmer than others realize. Your current strategy involves keeping your options alive because you think that following multiple paths is your most efficient way to reach a specific goal. Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks of your plan; it has an excellent chance of coming together just as you imagine as long as you aren’t sidelined by doubt. Believe in yourself and trust the process.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re more than willing to go along with someone who presents a good idea, even if it isn’t part of your original agenda. However, you might be quite concerned now because you’re beginning to realize that this new opportunity may be much bigger than you expect. You must make a critical decision that could have a significant impact on the direction of your life, so take your time before choosing your path. Fate is in your own hands today; you don’t always have to say yes to please others.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re often the one who turns over every stone when searching for an answer because you are more afraid of what you don’t know than what you might actually find. However, you are tempted to take a shortcut today and jump to conclusions instead of investigating every possibility. Fortunately, a spontaneous and creative approach can still provide you with exactly what you need and enable you to enjoy yourself in the process. Embracing the unknown is an adventure all on its own.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s annoying today if someone repeats what you previously said, even if you are given full credit for the idea. But instead of criticizing others for their lack of originality, just be appreciative that your message was taken to heart. It is often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so simply accept the compliment and move on. Seeing your ideas come to fruition is all that really matters

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although it feels refreshing when your mood lightens today, it might also make you a bit anxious because you believe you should be more productive. But it’s challenging to let go of unfinished business, even if it’s only for a temporary escape. The truth is that a little bit of relaxation can be quite rejuvenating. Taking some time off now gives you extra energy to accomplish your ambitious goals later on. Cultivating a healthy balance is a big step toward creating a happier life.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might feel as if you’re fighting an uphill battle today, especially if there are unpleasant or boring tasks to complete. But if your job is enjoyable, then you should be able to find your groove and create some magic. It’s your choice; no matter what you’re doing now, you can turn it into a game. It’s not the activity but your attitude that makes the difference between work and play.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are highly animated today, which makes others assume that you want to be a part of the fun. However, your words may be misleading, hiding your current need for solitude. Fortunately, you can have your cake and eat it too; if you burn off some of your mental energy with your friends, it will be easier to settle down for some quiet contemplation in the evening. Just be sure to add your creative touch to everything you do.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 7th

It may be a little too soon to shout from the rooftops that the recent stellar conflicts are at an end, but some of today’s fortuitous alignments are pointing in that general direction. The early hours appear promising across the board — courtesy of a high-minded, 72-degree liaison between Mercury and Jupiter (1:20AM) while the Moon in Pisces in a 60-degree, supportive tie with the Sun in Taurus (7:15AM) provides a good-sized dose of physical and emotional revitalization. Remember that it was Mercury (on April 14) and Jupiter (on April 20) that each made several adversarial aspects — magnifying the potential discord of those time-periods. Now they act as though it never happened by reaching across the zodiac in a thought-provoking 72-degree contact. Enjoy explorations in the fine and graphic arts, music and dance improvisations as the Moon unites with Neptune (11:50AM) and parallels Venus (3:02PM). The latter sky pattern can rev your romantic engines. However, focus attention on safety and security measures while Venus forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Vesta (12:04PM) and keep your emotional cool when the Moon parallels Mars (8:40PM). Maintain a steady hand if you need to deal with evening business matters since Venus trines Saturn in water signs (10:16PM). Insights inundate your consciousness as Thursday night morphs into Friday morning as the Moon makes a flowing trine to Jupiter (11:55PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Current Moon Phase for May 7th – First Quarter Moon

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/90-135 degrees)

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

WOTC Extra – Steps and Procedures for Forming Your Own Spells

Dragon Comments & Graphics
WOTC Extra – Steps and Procedures for Forming Your Own Spells

Following the steps below will help you create spells that are just as effective as those you learn from a book or another practitioner.

 

1. Boil down the purpose of the spell to a word a short phrase.

2. Find the ingredients suited to your goal.

3. Determine the best possible timing for the spell.

4. Decide if you want to include an affirmation or incantation. If so, write it so that it describes your components and your goals.

5. Cleanse and bless all the item you will be using as part of the spell.

6. Consider any actions that might help support the magick and where best to insert them in the spell-casting process (for example, lighting a candle at the outset to illustrate your intention).

7. Prepare yourself and the space where you’ll cast the spell.

8. Focus your will to raise energy and guide it mentally toward your objective, then release it and trust in the outcome.

9. Keep a journal (or grimoire) of your results for future reference.

It is not necessary to always every step of this process. There will be moments when you can’t conduct a spell at “just the right time” or when you don’t have perfectly suitable components. Some spells don’t require numerous ingredients or actions–a visualization or simple statement of intent maybe all that’s necessary. Your thoughts and your will are the most important components of any spell; the rest are optional.

Let’s Talk Witch: Adapting A Spell for Your Own Needs

Let’s Talk Witch: Adapting A Spell for Your Own Needs

Today you will find many books on spellcraft that contain instructions for casting spells. You can also purchase ready-made kits that include all the ingredients necessary for a spell. Nonetheless, if those instructions or ingredients don’t make sense to you or break your personal ethics, the spell will not work.

The best spells are those you create yourself or adapt to suit your own purpose. The process of collecting ingredients, preparing them, and designing the steps of your spell focuses your mind on your intention and adds energy to the spell. Sometimes you must adapt a tried and true spell because you can’t get the designated components. For example, if you lived in New England and used ash leaves or bark in protection spells but then moved to Texas, you would not be able to find such plant life; you could then compensate by substituting another ingredient, such as basil.

With the pervious example in mind, it’s easy to see that there will be many times when a Witch or Wiccan will want to adapt a spell or devise oone of her own. How do you begin the process? Adapting a spell is far easier than creating one, so let’s start there. When a Witch examines a spell, she looks for continuity and comprehensiveness.

Do the spell target your goal through its words, actions and components?

Does it do so on a multisensual level (involving your hearing, sight, touch, taste, and smell)?

Does every part of the spell make sense and excite your higher sentiments?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, try to find a substitute. To illustrate, many old love spells call for blood as components. But modern awareness of disease (or squeamishness) might make blood inappropriate. Instead a witch could use red wine. The red juice from crushed raspberries, strawberries, or passion fruit (fruit associated with love) would also work well. In this manner, she can still follow the basic spell while replying on components that are safe and support her ethics.

Choosing your own ingredients when adapt a spell, rather than following a prescribed formulas allows you to fine-tune a spell to your specific needs. Once you understand the basic natures and symbolism of various components, you can mix and match them to create exactly the right combination of energies.

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Helston Furry Dance

Dragon Comments & Graphics
Helston Furry Dance

 

One of the most famous of all traditional British festivals is Floral or Flora Day or more correctly as the “Furry—from the Cornish “fer” (Latin feria), a fair, rejoicing holy day. The date of the festival coincides with the feast of the Apparition of St. Michael the archangel. Helston’s patron saint. The legend recounts that the first furry was danced to celebrate Michael’s deliverance from a boulder hurled at him during an altercation with Satan. However, it is quite possible that some of the fair’s activities are linked to far older celebrations that honored the Celtic Horned God in the guise of Robin Hood.

From the street dancing that takes place on this day, it is clear that the festival has become inextricably intermingled with May Day. The procession begins at noon with the furry dance. One hundred and fifty couples participate in the dance, which winds through the streets of town, gardens, and even homes that have left their doors open for the dancers. In the past, it was believed that the dancers would bring good luck and good fortune to the household as they passed through.

A Very Bright & Blessed Wednesday To All My Family & Friends!

Good Morning Images
Sorry I am running late but I admit I over slept. It was a three ring circus around here last night. It was such a beautiful evening. Kiki and I were outside looking at the stars and enjoying the nice breeze that was blowing. Suddenly our beautiful evening was interrupted by the mother cougar. I heard her and she was coming home early for some reason. I immediately grabbed Kiki and we went inside. I did catch a glimpse of the cougar, she has killed something and was bringing it to her cubs. Bedtime rolled around and thoughts of the cougar were the furthest thing from my mind. I thought what a wonderful evening to open the windows and sleep. About 3:30, Kiki woke me up to this strange sound outside. I listened, it sounded like something hitting the side of the house. I couldn’t imagine what it could be. Razzy immediately hopped into the window to see what she could see. I noticed she was tracking something outside. So I grabbed the ball bat and when over to the window. Just as I got there all hell broke loose. That mother cougar took her great big paw and ran it straight through the screen. She was after Razzy (remember Raz is a bobcat). Thank goodness I had my hand on Razzy because she almost went out the window with the cougar. She was ready to fight, I grabbed the not so little fart by the tail and jerked her back. Apparently I jerked a little to hard, she ended up on the other side of the room. Now picture this, the mother cougar is looking at me and I am looking at her. I could tell by looking at her eyes, she was pissed. Well she wasn’t the only one. I picked up the ball bat and started popping her on the head.  After about 6 or 7 pops she went back to where she belonged. After about an hour or so, we all calmed down. I know the local morning News was on when I went back to sleep. But those cubs are big enough to survive with their mother out in the wild. Tonight they are all leaving. I love my familiars to pieces. If she had killed Razzy, I would went out that window after her myself. But that is the reason, I am running late. It seems like there is always something going on. Somebody told me once I ought to write a book. My reply was no one would believe it, they would stick it in the fiction section of the store, lol!

 

Ok, enough about me…….I did a check on our ISP Drive and guess what? We are only $130.00 away from meeting our goal (and that goal is to pay the bill). You are so very wonderful, you truly are. I am blessed to be able to call all of you my family.   Even though we are have a little bit to go, I want to thank all those who have contributed and all those who will.

Goddess Bless You All,

Lady A

A Quick Up-Date

I wanted to let you know our progress on our ISP bill. Well, you see it is like this………….

I believe we are actually going to be around for a little bit longer. Yes, you heard me right! We have a few more days to go and with all my heart, I know we are going to make it. As of today, we are only $150.00 away from paying that bill. It is unbelievable, simply unbelievable! I have been so far down in the dumps it hasn’t even been funny. We faced $600 and $700 dollar light bills this winter. I don’t know how we paid them.  but they got paid. Then the server bill hit, it actually knocked the wind out of me. I was at my wits end, I  had no earthly idea how we were going to pay it. I had made my mind up it was hopeless. I hope you know I actually hate to ask any of you for money, that is the truth. But you were the only hope I had left.

Thank the Goddess for all the wonderful family I have here. My spirit is now renewed and I feel like we can conquer the world. As you know I have no body, all my family has  passed over. It is a horrible feeling to be in a bind and just yourself.  No one in the mundane world would understand how important this is. But to us, we realize how important our mission is. We have to have a strong hold and the WOTC has to be it. I know our message is getting out. How do I know? I have Baptist preachers contacting me wanting to know what is going on. What are we doing? I have radio and TV people contacting me about shows and interviews. We have sparkled the flame, now we have  to set the world on fire. I believe the Goddess has not only called me but all of you to spread Her message throughout the world. Our time has finally come, people are leaving mainstream religions looking for something different. They want to get back to the basics of religion. They want to return to the ways of their Ancestors when times were much simpler. Nothing complicated, nothing full of lies, just a beautiful and natural religion. A religion that has a very loving God and Goddess at its head. It is of the utmost importance that we are there to meet their needs. Bring them into our Religion and show them the way they seek. That is our mission, all of ours mission.

I have spoke to the Goddess so much in the past few days, She has probably gotten ear plugs by now. I know for one thing, She answers our prayers, She is loving mother and She cares for Her children. For those who have not heard about our Divine Mother and our Religion, we must now spread the word to them. The WOTC will stand strong in it commitment to spreading the truth about our Religion.

I want to personally thank everyone of you who have contributed so far. I will be saying a personal blessing for each of you. I know we aren’t out of the woods yet but I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. We only have $150.00 to go. We have to meet this challenge so we can continue our mission. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount, any amount is appreciated. I am so very grateful for each and everyone of you. You are my family, the only family I have. I love you very dearly, I want you to always know that.

Now let’s preserve the WOTC and set this world on fire for our Goddess!

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Henry David Thoreau, whose cry was “Simplify! Simplify!” went to great measures to prove to himself, and perhaps to society, that life could be lived in the most simple manner and at the least expense. With only a few dollars he managed to provide for himself the things of absolute necessity for quite a long period of time.

Not many of us would care to exist on the absolute necessities. We have become too much accustomed to easier living. Things that were once thought of as luxuries are now considered necessities. And yet, with all of this, life is anything but simple. We seem to have the ability to complicate the best laid plans and find ourselves shadow boxing.

Like many of the trite old adages, “Life is what we make it,” is so true. By our own minds we accept of reject, by ignoring or by searching out the causes of shadows and removing the cause. It is whatever we elect to do about our individual lives that makes the difference. But we shall make great strides when we recognize the supreme excellence in all things of simplicity.

We don’t need to worry about doing without the necessary things in life – if we have a grateful heart. A grateful heart is not just remembering to write a few words to someone who has done a kindness, or saying thank you graciously and at the right moment. A grateful heart is the feeling of great blessing which precedes that thank you note and that verbal expression.

A grateful heart is one that always known the fullness of that rich feeling of first being grateful without cause. And then, all other gratitude and its expression comes naturally.

Perhaps true gratitude is a grateful thoughts toward heaven that I should be chosen to fill this spot, do this work, and have been given the strength to do it.

It was Romaine, the English theologian, who said, “Gratitude to God makes even a tempered blessing a taste of heaven.” We can have so much more heaven with a grateful heart.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day May 6

“We must remember that the heart of our religion is alive and that each person has the ability within to awaken and walk in a sacred manner.”

—- Thomas Yellowtail, CROW

The Native Spirituality is full of life. When we seek it we become alive. Even if we have gone astray and have conducted ourselves in a bad way, we can look within and have a new awakening to life. Maybe we have drunk too much alcohol; maybe we have cheated on our spouse; maybe we have done things that make us feel guilty and ashamed. If we look outside ourselves, we will not find life; if we look inside, we will find life. Anytime we choose to change our lives, we only need to look inside. How do we do this? Take some sage and light it, close your eyes and say to the Great Spirit, I’m tired, I need your help. Please help me change.

Great Spirit, I know you exist inside of myself. Let me awaken to your teachings.

May 6 – Daily Feast

May 6 – Daily Feast

When we let down our guard, habit is waiting to reclaim its territory. It seems innocent and it is so familiar that we seldom suspect what teeth it has! Once we decide to change something, we can’t expect to do it in one great sweep. What has taken us over by such tiny degrees must be edged out the same way. The fact that we are taking small steps does not minimize a very great commitment. Little by little, we reform our habits, making sure we leave no void for any other bad habit to fill. If we have, a ne lo at nv, made an effort or tried to change and failed, it is probably because we tried to do it along or denied the need to change. The Cherokees believes he needs, a u na li go sv, a help or a partnership, to give him support. It may be another, v da di lv quo at nv, a special or blessed person that is grounded in the Galun lati.

Daily Motivator for May 6th – Not always

Not always

Things will not always go the way you had hoped they would. Do your best anyway, give your best, live your best and be your best.

People will not always act the way you think they should. Give them your love, respect and understanding anyway, for it is the best choice going forward.

The past and the present are not always to your liking. Even so, especially so, the future is always yours to create.

The people and conditions around you will not always be supportive, but you don’t have to let them drag you down. You can choose to move forward, no matter what others may or may not choose.

Life might just give you a big, valuable break, but don’t count on it. Make it your business to give yourself an endless series of positive breaks, and anything else you get will be a bonus.

Though things may not always go your way, life can always be good and fulfilling. Because you can always choose, with your thoughts, your attitude and your actions, to make it that way.

The Daily OM for May 6th – As the Earth Allows the Rain

As the Earth Allows the Rain
Sitting With Feelings

by Madisyn Taylor

Taking the time now to sit with your feelings and acknowledge them will save you much distress down the road.

It can take great courage to really sit with our feelings, allowing ourselves to surrender to their powerful energies. All too often we set our feelings aside, thinking we will deal with them later. If we don’t deal with them, we end up storing them in our minds and bodies and this is when anxiety and other health issues can arise. Denying what our bodies want to feel can lead to trouble now or down the line, which is why being in the thick of our feelings, no matter how scary it seems, is really the best thing we can do for ourselves.

One of the reasons we tend to hide or push aside our feelings is that we live in a culture that has not traditionally supported emotional awareness. However, as the connection between mind and body–our emotions and our physical health– becomes clearer, awareness of the importance of feeling our feelings has grown. There are many books, classes, workshops and retreats that can help us on our way to emotional intelligence. We can also trust in our own ability to process what comes up when it comes up. If sadness arises, we can notice its presence and welcome it, noting where in our bodies we feel it, and allowing ourselves to express it through tears or a quiet turning inward.

When we simply allow ourselves to fully feel our feelings as they come, we tend to let them go easily. This is all we are required to do; our feelings simply want to be felt. We often complicate the situation by applying mental energy in the form of analysis, when all we really need is to allow, as the earth allows the rain to fall upon it. As the rain falls, the earth responds in a multitude of ways, sometimes emptying out to form a great canyon, sometimes soaking it up to nourish an infinitude of plants. In the same way, the deeper purpose of our feelings is to transform the terrain of our inner world, sometimes creating space for more feelings to flow, sometimes providing sustenance for growth. All we need to do is allow the process by relaxing, opening, and receiving the bounty of our emotions.
