The Magickal Day of Wednesday
The Magickal Day of Wednesday
Wednesday is named for Woden himself, although the Romans called it dies Mercurii. This is a day associated with the color purple, the planet Mercury, and the metal quicksilver – which is also called mercury. See a pattern here?
When it comes to deities… yes, Mercury! However, there are a few other gods associated with Wednesday, including Odin and Hermes, Athena, and Lugh. Gemstones like adventurine and agate come in handy as well, as do plants such as aspen trees, lilies, lavender and even ferns.
Business and job-related issues, communication, loss and debt, traveling, and journeys are all tied in to Wednesday. This is a good day to do a working to open up lines of communication – especially if your own actions are preventing you from being an effective speaker or listener. Go someplace new or return to an old favorite stomping ground, step up your game, and settle up your accounts.

The Sky This Week for March 29 to April 2
The Sky This Week for March 29 to April 2
Sirus shines magnitude -1.5, a “young Moon,” and other bright things to look for in the sky this week.
By Richard Talcott
Wednesday, March 29
With an age of 4.5 billion years, “young” might not seem an appropriate word to describe our Moon. But tonight, you have a nice opportunity to see what astronomers call a “young Moon” — a slender crescent visible in the early evening sky. With New Moon having occurred two nights ago, only 5 percent of our satellite’s disk appears illuminated after sunset tonight. You should notice an ashen light faintly illuminating the Moon’s dark side. This is “earthshine,” sunlight reflected by Earth that reaches the Moon and then reflects back to our waiting eyes. With binoculars, scan some 10° to the Moon’s lower right and you also should pick up the glow from Mercury, which shines brightly at magnitude –0.6.
Thursday, March 30
The waxing crescent Moon climbs significantly higher in the evening sky with each passing day, and tonight it serves as a guide to ruddy Mars. The planet stands about 7° (approximately one binocular field) to the Moon’s lower right. The pair appears nearly 20° high in the west once twilight fades to darkness and doesn’t set until after 10 p.m. local daylight time. The Red Planet shines at magnitude 1.5 among the background stars of Aries the Ram.
The Moon reaches perigee, the closest point in its orbit around Earth, at 8:32 a.m. EDT. It then lies 226,088 miles (363,853 kilometers) away from us.
Friday, March 31
This evening, the waxing Moon sits on the western edge of the Hyades star cluster in Taurus the Bull. The 20-percent-lit crescent lies below and a little to the right of 1st-magnitude Aldebaran, the orange sun that marks the upper left corner of the V-shaped Hyades. In reality, however, the star is a foreground object that only appears along the same line of sight as the cluster.
Saturday, April 1
Mercury reaches greatest elongation at 6 a.m. EDT, and tonight marks the peak of its best evening apparition of 2017. The innermost planet lies 19° east of the Sun and stands 9° high in the western sky 45 minutes after sunset. It shines at magnitude –0.2 and shows up easily against the darkening sky. If you can’t spy Mercury right away, sweep the area with binoculars. A view of the inner world through a telescope reveals an 8″-diameter disk that appears 39 percent lit.
Sunday, April 2
After passing between the Sun and Earth just eight days ago, Venus already appears conspicuous in the predawn sky. It rises an hour before the Sun and climbs 6° above the eastern horizon 30 minutes later. The planet shines so brightly, at magnitude –4.2, that it shows up easily in the brightening twilight. A telescope will deliver spectacular views of the inner world’s 57″-diameter disk, which appears just 3 percent lit.

A Very Happy & Blessed Wednesday To All My Precious Family & Friends! Goddess, It Feels Good To Be Home, Hurray for Home!
A World Without Witches…..
Can you imagine a world without witches,
A world with all people the same?
Where the only known dragons are hiding in books,
And children are terribly tame?
A world without magic would be sad indeed.
I cannot imagine the pain
Of having a world where there’s no Santa Claus,
Where wizards are searched for in vain.
Can you imagine a world without spells,
That science and businesses run?
And think of the sadness a unicorn feels
When he no longer plays in the sun.
Can you imagine a world without witches,
No elves and no magical pools?
And can you imagine how dull it would be
If all that we had were the schools?
I cannot imagine a world without witches,
A world with no magical wand.
A world without beauty, or even a dream,
Or a wood sprite of whom to be fond.
They say I should grow up and be more mature,
Like a normal adult ought to do.
But I’d rather, at night, go to dance with a witch,
And I’ll bet that you feel that way, too.
Can you Imagine?

WOTC Special Presentation on Divination With A Pendulum (Also Part 2)
The Topic Divination
Divination with a Pendulum that is
In this series we will discuss the various types of gems and crystals that can be used as pendulum and their qualities. Lady Abyss also provides some very helpful hints for getting to know your pendulum and also making your own pendulum board. This episode is full of lots of very useful information. One you can’t afford to miss!
Part 2 covers the feeding of your Pendulum
Divination with a Pendulum
In the conclusion of this series, you will learn how to properly clean your pendulum. Tips on various ways of cleansing, purification, and blessing the pendulum. Plus when it is time to retire your pendulum and how to do so. Lady A as usual get off track and tells a humorous story about giving a tarot card reading to her son and one of his friends. How she got on that, we will never know but it is funny. And we go over what has been learned in this lesson of Pendulum Divination.
I Am Sorry I Had To Log Into Lady Abyss’ Account, All The Other Accounts Are Currently Frozen.
I tried my account and I tried my brother’s account both are frozen. Then when I tried Lady A it let me in. This is Mistress of the Myst not Lady A, just using her account.
This is Mystie borrowing Lady A’s account. This is the message I was trying to get out to you.
I guess it is a good thing that I stopped by to see how thing were going. Come to find out thing aren’t going so well. Apparently, my brother let his temper get the best of him, throw the keyboard up against the wall and left. He sometimes lets his temper get the best of him. They told me he was mumbling, “Lady A has spent her whole life trying to better the Pagan community and come to find out no one really give a damn about her.”
“What a waste of life, what a waste of time and on and on.” The growth in her hip has him worried because he is scared she is going to die. He hasn’t talked to her about it but he has me. His intentions were good, he just wanted her to have a wonderful birthday. He is pitiful when he talks about it, he keeps saying, “this might be her last birthday, sis.” He can’t bear the thought of losing her neither can I. But I told him to keep a positive attitude. But I know in the back of his head, he honestly believes he is going to lose her.
Since he threw his fit and walked out, we are going to stop the daily posts. I still have tons of things I have to do in regards to the fire at my home. But I will be here tomorrow come hell or high water. Thank you for your generous donations when my son and I lost everything we owned. It has been hard but we are starting to get back to normal. We are now looking at house to buy, I never knew the housing market around here was that high. We are still staying with Lady A. She told us we could stay as long as we liked, she is a sweetheart. I would also like to see her have a wonderful birthday because of the kindness she has extended to my son and myself. But if we can’t make it happen, then we just can’t make it happen.
I apologize for my brother’s tantrum. I will be here tomorrow and we will resume normal operations then. If you would like to contribute to Lady A’s birthday fund, please feel free to do so. We appreciate any amount that you can donate and all who have donate, we will put your name on the card.
Again, thank you to those who have already donated. Your donations show your love and caring for our Lady and we appreciate that. I will see you tomorrow and please forgive my brother.

The Theban Alphabet or The Witches Alphabet (Part 1 & 2) Now on Podcast
(Part 1)
The History Behind The Theban Alphabet or The Witches Alphabet
Take a brief journey back in time with us. Think you know who exactly created the Witches Alphabet? Might want to rethink that as I did. The Theban Alphabet is first given credit to a Roman Emperor by the name of Honorius and the plot thickens. As time goes on, and the centuries pass, you will really be amazed at who all have laid claim to and used the Alphabet.
Enjoy!
(Part 2)
The Theban Alphabet or The Witches Alphabet
To be honest with you, I can’t take you by the hand and guide you step by step in learning this alphabet. But I believe if you put your mind to it, you can do it. All it required is a little patience and lots of practice. Just imagine a beautiful Book of Shadows with all the spells and rituals inscribed in this ancient language, beautiful and oh, so magickal!
Instead of the Spell of the Day, We sort kinda switched thing up. We present you with your magickal goody for March 25
Ok, we switched things around instead of a spell of the day, we gave you a magickal goody of the day. We just could resist this oldie, it is a pair of dowsing or divining rods. They have been around for centuries but it seems they have lost their place in the Craft. Oh, and just don’t think they are dowsing for water either, dowsing rods can be very magickal.
We give you a little history on them and then how to make your own. I believe you will amazed at how magickal and useful they can be.
Enjoy!

Energy Report – March / April 2017
Energy Report – March / April 2017
We have reached a turning point, one that marks the crossing over into a new cycle of being. The beginning of this new cycle is marked by the Equinox on March 20th / 21st and is indicative of the new reality we will now inhabit. A new reality, which is the culmination of all the many, many shifts, changes and transformations that we have endured. This new cycle is the realization and actualization of your true divine self.
The first three months of 2017 have been a time of cleaning up and clearing out all that is no longer need. In this time you have descended into the depths of your soul to access your hidden qualities. You have ascended into elevated aspects of your being to gather expanded states of consciousness. You have shifted timelines and crossed dimensions retrieving long forgotten aspects of your soul. You have accepted your grief, your pain and your suffering. You have healed, realigned and reunited these aspects so that you may move forward unhindered by your past.
You are now in the midst of creating a new life, one that honors difference, accepts individuality, embraces creativity and allows balance. You are weaving a new world into existence. A world that unites all aspects of your being and enables you to truly feel and experience life from the center point of your soul. The next three months will involve a period of rejuvenation, which will accelerate your soul’s embodiment process. With this acceleration your personal growth and spiritual development will rapidly increase. You will travel beyond confusion and into the light of clarity. You will awaken to your soul’s truth and begin to know yourself as whole in the midst of all that life has to offer.
The incoming energies are fully activating your original divine blueprint and releasing your pure essence. The unique codes of light and energy, which define your soul, are shifting the patterns of subtle energies that have shaped your soul’s form and experiences. With this shift your energy field is naturally expanding and linking you to multidimensional consciousness. Your ability to see, hear and feel truth is being enhanced, enabling you to step fully into your soul’s consciousness. Clarity and wisdom are emerging, which is helping you to being creating a new life filled with the light of your soul.
If you can imagine that you are a microcosm of the macrocosm, then you can understand that the new reality you are inhabiting also contains a divine blueprint. This divine blueprint reveals its self as you surrender control of your reality to your soul. As you do this your place and your purpose in the new reality begins to emerge and you are able to fully actualize your own divine blueprint. You are then able to work with what arises without the need to control and manipulate reality.
In April of 2017 the energy of rejuvenation and renewal will come in to sooth and to heal any remaining mental anguish and control issues you may have. You will need to surrender to your soul, which will enable you to enter into its inner sanctuary and ignite the seeds of wisdom germinating therein. These seeds of light and energy contain the inspiration and insights you need to rekindle the awakening of your soul’s gifts.
Connecting with these gifts initiates a journey into your soul’s mysterious depths. In these depths you will unveil your soul’s divine messages and find your way to greater self-knowledge. As you access this knowledge you will discover your true nature, your purpose, the dreams, prayers and hopes your soul has for this life. You will remember that your soul is also a keeper of divine wisdom and truth. You will come to understand that no real separation exists when you are in constant communion with your soul. Your soul then becomes a sacred sanctuary where your body, mind, heart and spirit can truly merge aiding you in becoming an embodiment of divine love.
In the coming months you are encouraged to dive into the depths of your soul, to unlock the sacred messages of your divine blueprint and to immerse yourself in its flowing light and energy. It is this that will support you in embracing the many blessings of this new reality, as well as the shifts and changes you will be required to make.

March 24
Waning Crescent
Illumination: 15%
The Moon today is in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase 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. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. 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

Celebrating Legends, Folklore & Spirituality 365 Days A Year for March 24th – The Day of Heimdall
March 24th
The Day of Heimdall
This day celebrates the horn-sounding guardian God of the Rainbow Bridge to Valhalla who, as Rig, was the progenitor tor of each of the different classes of traditional society. He was the God of orderliness and has been equated with the archangel Gabriel-lord of the moon and patron of everything thing that grows upon the earth.
Prayer for the Angel Gabriel to Grant a Wish
In honor of Gabriel, light a violet votive candle and ask for something you need by saying:
In the name of the Great Creator of all that is,
I call upon Gabriel, guardian of the Moon,
And all that grows upon the earth to grant me
—(state wish)—this special favor that I shall
realize—-(repeat wish)—for the good of myself
and to harm none.
