The Witches Guide To Tuesdays

 

A god, goddess, or planet governs each day of the week. It is usually easy to spot the ruler of the day by its name. The word Tuesday, however, is not so easy, but if we look at the word in Spanish, Martes, we clearly see its connections to Mars.

Because Tuesday revolves around the energy of Mars, Tuesdays are good for business, mechanical things, buying and selling animals, hunting, beginning studies, gardening, sexual activities, and confrontation. This is a day for sex magick, energy, stamina, and health. As in the old saying, Tuesdays child is full of grace, is also good for success magick and defense against enemies.

Angels of Tuesday are Camael, Samael, Satael, Amabiel, Friagne, and Hyniel. When invoked, Camael takes the form of a leopard. In Druid mythology he is a god of war, which is why we see him associated with Mars. Camael is said to be a member of the “Magnificent Seven” in some circles. Camael is another “terminator” angel.

Samael walks both worlds as a magician and sorcerer. some see him as the angel of death, others as “the bright and poisonous one.” Many consider him more of a demon, and accuse him of being Satan. However, there is reference to the satans (plural) as enforcers of the law, a sort of angelic police, if you will. Supposedly, when Samael is around, dogs howl in the night. On one hand, he is the ruler of the fifth heaven and in charge of two million angels; on the other, he is the one who changed into a serpent and convinced Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit of knowledge.

Satael is an angel of air invoked in magic rites and is the presiding spirit of the planet Mars. Amabiel is another spirit of the planet Mars; however he spends his energy on issues of human sexuality. Friagne, also an angel of this day, is invoked from the east. He is a member of the fifth heaven. Hyniel also belongs to this day and is subject to the east wind.

On Tuesdays the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Mars, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest ones to do ritual in. Check your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

Tuesday: Shake the only hand of Tyr

Tyr (referred to as Tiw, Tiu or Tew in Old English) was the god of combat. He had just one hand and the story behind it is as follows.

The prophecy of the sybil that three siblings would bring troubles to gods alarmed the pantheon and Odin (see also the section for Wednesday) decided to get rid of them. One of them was Fenrir, a huge mythological wolf. They tried to bound him, but he was too strong and tore any chain they used.

Finally they asked dwarves to make a special, untearable binding called Gleipnir. It consisted of six wondrous ingredients which do not exist any longer because the gods took them from the world for good. These were the sound of a cat’s footfall, the beard of a woman, the breath of a fish, the roots of a mountain, the sinews of a bear (meaning rather sensibilities in this case) and the spittle of a bird.

Fenrir did not believe them that they would set him free again after having tried the binding on him. Tyr had to put his arm in his mouth as the guarantee. That is why one of his arms is missing. And again, when Ragnarok begins, the wolf will free himself from Gleipnir and avenge this deception by devouring Odin.

In Romance languages, this day belongs to Mars, the Roman god of war (martes in Spanish, mardi in French).

I, Witch

I am many things,
I am a Daughter, a Lover, and a Friend.
I am a Teacher, a Student, and a Woman.
I am many things,
Wear many costumes,
And act in many ways.
Yet beneath each mask I wear,
I am a Witch.

I am a Priestess,
I follow the Path,
I follow the Old Tradition,
I follow the Ways of the Wise Ones.
I seek to know the God,
I seek to know the Goddess,
I seek to know myself.
I am a Witch.

Though I may only dress up,
For eight sabbats a year,
And thirteen esbats in turn,
I am always a Witch.
Though I may not always dress in black,
Or leave my hair wild and free,
I am still a Witch.

I do not worship Satan,
I’ve never even met him,
Yet many see me as evil,
And magick as a sin.
I do what comes natural,
What the Gods have taught me,
And although it does not conform,
I am still a Witch.

The Goddess shows me beauty,
The God has shown me life,
And Earth, and Air,
And Fire, and Water,
Teach me what is right.
And Spirit in its mystic ways,
Teaches me about myself.
That I am a Witch.

WOTC Public Service Announcement

We feel it is our obligation to report and try to protect our members when certain topics or news events arises that might effect you. Most of you probably view the 3 major broadcasting networks in the States. If you do, you need to find another source for your news. The following story has not broke on any of the major networks yet. Will it? Good question.

It was reported last night on Fox News that Facebook is trying to gain access to your personal information. When I say personal information, they are asking banks for access to your bank account numbers, your monthly statements, your credit card information, their balances of those accounts and any other information the banks might have. They are not asking for you to give them permission, they are by passing you and going straight to your bank. If you are a Facebook user you need to be made aware of this information. Facebook has been rocked in the past year with scandal after scandal falling stocks, being sued overseas for giving away their members personal data. Now to add to all the pitfalls Facebook has had, they are contacting your banks for your personal banking information. why, what is their true purpose behind this latest antic? They are no going through any legal channels to do this. If you have ever given Facebook any of your information, then you have handed them the key to your financial information.

Facebook recently opened a dating service. Was this to distract from what they were really up too? Trying to obtain your monthly checking account statements? In these days and times, we have to be extremely careful about who we give our information too. With the events that have come to pass in the last year involving Facebook, is this the type of company that you would want to have access to your monthly bank statements, your checking, your savings or even your credit cards. Personally, I don’t want anyone having my personal information. I hope you don’t either. Facebook’s reputation has fallen in the past year, they do not meet the standards they original set for themselves. It is coming to light Facebook is not a reputable as people once thought they were.

To view this interview for yourself I have provided a link at the bottom.

Please reblog this information, it is important that individuals are made aware of what one of the more popular social media sites is up too.

I am hot, tired and most of all aggravated! First of all, I have had enough problems today with all the electrical issues at my cabin. Now I want the bickering to stop about the psychic vampire deal and I mean now! It is over, it is done with. I explained why I asked and I did not expect all the comments that were received on this matter. We have established I am not a psychic vampire. So there it is official I am not a psychic vampire. It was a screw up, so let it go. Eleanor, I am having a long talk with you when I get off the computer today.

Now since this day has been a total screw, let’s pretend Monday is tomorrow. How does that work? I have played with the air conditioning man and also the electrical contractor. Everything is now fix and I was presented with a bill for $1100.00. I kid you not. I told Lord M what company to use to do the wiring and the a/c, do you think he listened, NO! He used a different company and the company I use does not do warranty work on any of the necessary repairs that needed to be made to do. Simply because they do not do business with the Carrier people or Link’s electrical contracting and sales. I tried my best to do the warranty route. When I called the people they recommended, it was going to take a least one of them two weeks to work us in. With the heat indexes in the 100’s again, there is no way we could have stayed in the cabin. I be damned if I am moving back in the rental. Also with my health condition, I cannot tolerate the heat, it would have killed me. So I went with the men I knew and trusted. They let me pay half now and half at the first of the month.

So why am I telling you this, I took out a working capital loan and this has busted that all to hell. We either sell a lot of merchandise between now and the first of the month or else we need some donations. After yesterday, if you don’t hate me that much that is. I hate to ask but I have learned a poor person has no business sticking their heads out of the ground. If you would like to help, I would great appreciate it. You will find the links below to the store and also make a donation. The remaining balance on this bill is $541.45. Any amount would assist me out or any purchase.

We will resume our postings tomorrow. I am going to go stick my head in a hole and not come out till then.

Love ya,

Lady A
