Monday Is Ruled By the Moon

This day of the week is dedicated to the moon and all of her magic and mystery. Mondays are for women’s mysteries, illusion, prophetic dreaming, emotions, travel, and fertility.
Some suggestions for Monday enchantments would include:

*Getting outside and looking for the moon in the heavens. Sit under her light and absorb a little glamour. Call on the moon goddess Selene for practical help in magical issues.

*Invoking the god Thoth for wisdom and insight

*Empowering your silver jewelry under the light of the moon. Wear moonstone or pearl jewelry today to add a lunar and magical shimmer to your outfit. Be mysterious and subtle and wear moon-associated colors such as white, silver, and blue.

*Working spells for safe travel with a simple moonstone

*Gathering bluebells, jasmine, gardenias, or white roses to create a little garden witchery with the flowers that are associated with the moon

*Setting up a lunar Tarot spell today to increase your psychic powers

*Eating a lunar fruit such as a melon to be healthy, serene, and at peace

*Brewing up a cup of chamomile or mint tea and enchanting it for sweet dreams and restful sleep

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.

So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.

Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

A VERY GLORIOUS & BLESSING MONDAY MORNING TO ALL OUR PRECIOUS FAMILY & FRIENDS HERE AT THE WOTC!


Friendship Comments & Graphics

Within the last few days,
We have been through turmoil and chaos,
But through it all we have learned one thing,
We are so very blessed and fortunate to have
loving friends and family.

Throughout the years, No matter
What you have seen us through.
You have been our rock, our salvation,
our friends and most of all our family.

You have never once given up on us,
No matter how bad the odds may have
seen, you have always been with us, by
our sides, through it all.

Even though we are very seldom
Prepared for what life throws our way.
You have always stood with us,
Who can ask for any better friends and family.
The love, strength and compassion that you have
given us, we will now use as our foundation to
stand upon and forge ahead to our rebirth.

 

Thank you doesn’t seem to fit, it doesn’t seem appropriate. Watching the fire blazing and knowing that everything we have worked for is going up in flames, you are lost and it seems hopeless. You feel like you have just lost everything in the entire world. You are lost and confused in the chaos.

When all was dark and seemed lost, your love and support guided our way. You showed us this was only a minor set back. Life goes on and life will go on. You have been a comfort to us on many occasions. You are our rock, your love, prayers and blessings pulled us through.

How do you ever say “Thank You” to those who have gave you so much.

Thank you, my dear, precious family, we will rebuild and on your love and support we will stay strong.

 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and all the other staff here at the WOTC!

Good Friday Morning Brothers & Sisters of the Craft

It has been several days since you have heard anything from us or received any posts. We apologize for this inconvenience but circumstances were beyond our control. Lady Abyss would be informing you of our current situation but she is rather busy dealing with the insurance company and trying to find us another place to temporarily operate from.

We have tried for the last few years to have fundraisers and ask for donations to fix our central heating and air unit. We had a cold snap to come through and Lady A decided to see if there was any way possible the unit would heat our building. Plainly speaking, all of us were tired of living like we were in caveman days. Each winter trying to stay warm any way we could, in the summer having personal a/c units running and still sweating and miserable. We all agreed to see if the unit would run and this winter perhaps we would not have to freeze. As a result of that decision, the central heating unit ran for about 30 minutes and then caught on fire. The picture below is one that Lady A took to send into the insurance company.

wotc f

As you can see, a fireman is digging through the rubble to see what caused the fire. It was determined that wires melted together along with melting duct work that cause the fire. The room pictured contained the heating unit. That room as you can see is extensively damaged, along with a small bathroom on the other side of this room. The fire department responded quickly or the entire building would have been lost. We have numerous computers that were destroyed not because of the fire but the water used to put the fire out.

Our current situation is bleak. We do have insurance but we have a deductible we have to meet. Then we also have to find a temporary location to operate from. No one is going to volunteer to give you a location to use while your office building is being repairs. We have been operating in the red for several months, now this has buried us.

We have rental expenses for a new temporary building, computers to replace and not to mention the deductible that is required by the insurance company. We are looking at more expenses than we currently have funds for. We are currently accepting donations to help us get back on our feet. We don’t like to ask but in this case it is unavoidable. We find ourselves in a bad situation with no way out with the help of good hearted individuals that might be willing to make a donation to us. We have been on the internet and provided a very useful service to the Pagan community. We would like to continue our work and our service to you, our followers, our friends and our family.

Lady A has been looking into spaces to rent. The space that she has found that can accommodate us is about $650.00 a month. The contractors estimate that we will be out of our building for at least three months. One added expense. The most important expense right now is coming up with the insurance deductible, without that no work starts. We are currently looking at a budget up in the thousands of dollars which we do not have. We are trying every avenue available to us to raise these funds. If you would like to make a donation, we would greatly appreciate it.

We would appreciate any help that you can offer us. We want to resume our work as soon as possible. Your donations will help us succeed in that area. Raising the money for another building to lease is not our main concern right now. Coming up with the money for the deductible so work can begin is. If you would like to donate, any amount, we would be very grateful to you and it would also help us start to get back on our feet.

Thank you,

Your Witches Rune for October 10th is Woman

Today’s Witches Rune

Woman

Meaning: The first meaning of this rune is quite obvious: it represents women. Any woman that is important in the question, whether you know her or not, will be represented by this rune. Mother, sister, aunt, grandma, a female boss, friend, lover or even enemy… all can be symbolized by the appearance of this rune.

In a more general sense, this rune is related to traditional female abilities and characteristics, such as giving birth, nurturing, comforting and healing. When this rune appears, you can count on the sympathy of others towards you or your situation. In its most negative aspects, the Woman rune can show over-protectiveness, a patronizing attitude or co-dependency. It often strives to maintain the status quo, refusing to change even if the situation is bad.

The Woman rune is connected to nurturing – nurturing a relationship, a person or a project. Like the Moon rune, it can be related to finding a safe place to rest and heal, but while the Moon implies a solitary retreat, the Woman often shows that you need to go back to the people you trust, the people you feel safe with.

Healing is another strong aspect of this symbol, as well as teaching. You can be both the patient/student or the healer/teacher when this rune appears. This rune is also connected to creativity, but in a way that is different from the Romance rune. While the latter is about the conception of a project – the initial stages of creation – the Woman is about the birth of this project. When your creation is brought out into the world, fully manifested.

In relationship readings, this rune isn’t bad, but rather weak. While it can indicate subtle ties between people, these are usually so, so subtle that the partners can easily drift away from each other. It can show that one of the partners sees the other as someone who needs to be protected and healed, rather than an equal. Usually, the romance is a bit stagnated when this rune appears, or very close to becoming a friendship.

Your Daily I Ching Hexagram for October 10th is 43: Determination

 

 

Hexagram of the Day

43: Determination


October 10th, 2015
hexagram09

Personal resolution points to a breakthrough, but decisive action is required. As long as you diligently hold your ground and ward off negative tendencies and influences, the good will prevail.

The persistence of negativity, which is that which opposes the good, is a constant in human affairs. Just when it is thought to have been eradicated, up it will pop again, sprouting through some crack in the pavement of civilized society. Evil need not take dramatic or extravagant forms, such as those exhibited in Nazi Germany. Garden-variety lies and deceit are much more common and persistent, but should be rooted out just as diligently. One must be determined to not accidentally feed negativity — either in one’s social or professional life, or in one’s own soul. In either case, definite rules must be followed for the struggle to succeed.

The first rule: do not compromise with evil. Destructive or exploitive actions must be identified openly for what they are, and discredited. The second: one cannot successfully resist negativity on its own terms. New, positive alternatives that lead away from the source of the problem are generally more successful, and appropriate than trying to counter negativity with raw power. The third rule: the means used to counter negativity must be consistent with the end to be achieved. One cannot stop the spreading of lies by spreading more of them.

Your Rune for Saturday, October 10th is Isa

bw-isa

bw-isaYour Rune For Today
Isa

The Ice Rune, represents stagnation and a passionless existence. Your life’s course may seem blurry at the moment, but if you persevere you will move onto better days

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Isa. . .

 

isa : ice

Phonetic equivalent: i (ee as in ‘eel’)

DIVINATORY MEANINGS:
inactivity, blockage, stagnation, potential, patience, reflection, withdrawl, rest

 

MAGICAL USES:
to stop a process; to represent primal form

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES:
Auðumla, Nifelheim

 

ANALYSIS:
In modern symbology, fire is generally masculine and ice (or earth) is feminine, but it is unknown whether the Norse shared this association. Certainly, ice was a constant factor in their day to day lives. It threatened their crops and their ships almost throughout the year, but it also served as a symbol of creation, from which all life will eventually spring. It says something about the Norse mind that they could recognize the need to have such a seemingly destructive joining of elements in order to create and maintain life. Fire may be warm and pleasant, but it must be balanced by the freezing of winter just as birth must be balanced by death. Even the little death of sleep has been proven to be vital for our mental and physical well-being.

 

Isa encompasses all of these ideas, but primarily represents a period of rest before activity, and itself forms the material from which life can be created. It is matter, inert by itself, but transformed into the stuff of stars when wedded with energy. It is the immovable form acted upon the irresistible force. In many ways, the Norse predicted Einstein with their version of the creation of the universe, recognizing that everything in their world contained both fire and ice (energy and matter), and that the relationship between the two defined the processes of life itself.

Your Tarot Card for Saturday, October 10th is Temperance

 

 

 

Tarot Card of the Day

Temperance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is traditionally known as the Temperance card is a reference to the Soul. Classically female, she is mixing up a blend of subtle energies for the evolution of the personality. One key to interpreting this card can be found in its title, a play on the process of tempering metals in a forge.

Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart. (This card is entitled “Art” in the Crowley deck.)

Your Horoscopes for Sunday, October 11th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

Attracting suitable – truly suitable – work is especially easy for you these days and this will continue for many months ahead, dear Aries, as your motivation to do something truly meaningful is very strong. You’re also coming across in a more powerful, prestigious, or simply trustworthy manner these days. You could be doing more specialized work, or could find that you’re in especially big demand. As well, getting your daily schedules, routines, and health programs into shape is a focus, and can contribute to your growth, professionally and personally. Today, the Sun’s annual opposition to Uranus occurs and highlights your needs for both partnership and independence. You may need to find the right balance, which is not easy. Innovate rather than react. The Moon is Balsamic today, with a New Moon occurring tomorrow, and it’s better to reflect than jump into something new just yet.

Taurus

Taurus

A trend that will stay with you until June is revving up now, dear Taurus, and it’s a strong one for creative discovery. Strong energy is with you for expanding your personal horizons through creative endeavors, and possibly romantic relationships for some. You are commanding more attention in a positive way, and you are approaching your life with more confidence and self-assurance. This is only set to build and expand in the coming months. Opportunities to travel, learn, teach, and connect are likely to emerge. Today, a yearly Sun-Uranus face off occurs, and this tends to affect your work and your mental or physical health. You could be feeling as if you are at the mercy of others’ schedules, or their unreliability and desire to bring change. There could be something from your past that re-emerges, and some personal truth coming to light. You may very well discover what you’ve been missing in your life, and this sets you on a path to finding it.

Gemini

Gemini

Opportunities for expanding your family experiences are emerging, dear Gemini. In the months ahead, you are likely to be increasing contact, strengthening ties with family or close loved ones, and making peace with the past. While there can be some intense emotions in the process, improvement and growth is the end result, and ultimately very satisfying. Long-term financial planning can be successful, or pooling your resources or talents with someone may lead to improvements. Business and home matters can expand or improve, and you’re likely to find more support or backing for what you’re doing. Today, the Sun and Uranus oppose one another, as they do each year, shaking up the usual routine and especially in your social or romantic life. This will get you thinking and possibly moving towards positive change, even if at first there can be a little chaos.

Cancer

Cancer

There are wonderful opportunities emerging for friends and personal influence, dear Cancer. This trend continues until June, and helps you to feel more empowered through and in your relationships. News, communications, and information can open, bringing on a new perspective and connecting you to others in new ways. Your views toward love and commitment can transform. This is a strong period for learning, sharing, and relating. Today, the Sun and Uranus form an opposition, highlighting the need to make changes in your personal and professional life. Plans and schedules may change, but are also likely to lead to important discoveries. You may need to deal with unreliability in others, or possibly even called out for your own unpredictability. Stay open and flexible, and try to take changes of plans in stride. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, opening doors in your personal life for improved relationships with family.

Leo

Leo

Money matters take on more meaning to you recently, dear Leo, as they are not only about security to you. You may be especially motivated to make more, and this attitude can bring greater wealth into your life. This is a strong time for improving work and health-related methods as well, particularly until June. You’re likely to enjoy some strong rewards for improvements you make. Opportunities to heal the body and mind can emerge. Natural talents may be used more fully in the work you do. Today, relations with a lover, special friend, or partner can be challenging or provoke change. A person in your life may be introducing an element of surprise today, or you could come to sudden awareness of a new perspective on a project. Avoid overextending yourself. If plans change suddenly, try to remain as flexible and open-minded as possible, as changes can lead to improvements or discoveries that you might not have made otherwise.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Today, Jupiter in your sign officially forms a harmonious angle to Pluto, dear Virgo, although the energies of this aspect have already been in effect for a few weeks, and will continue to influence you through until June 2016. This is a strong period for personal opportunities and support. Ways to express yourself in new ways can emerge. You are more confident and focused, and possibly more concerned about power and persuasion as well. Use this energy to better yourself. While this period is more about you and your personality, romantic expression might also reach new heights. Today, there can be some tension likely related to finances. While this can motivate you to work harder, watch for burning out on it. Watch for impulsiveness with money and combativeness in relationships. If you don’t truly know what’s bothering you, you may end up instigating or provoking, so aim for self-understanding.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

You’re at the start of an important trend that lasts until June 2016, dear Libra, benefiting finances, family and home matters, strategy, improvement, and personal development. You are becoming very comfortable with yourself on the inside, which of course can lead to improvements across the board. There can be more support from family or for family and home affairs. You could also be experiencing more emotional bravery, finding it easier to face your feelings and your past, and this can be empowering. Communications can open up. Today, the Sun and Uranus face off, and you could find that others are either unreliable or defiant. Even if it can be frustrating, a new perspective can emerge if you peel back the layers. They may be doing so in annoying ways, but people and especially partners are showing you important things about yourself and personal goals, so pay attention and open your mind to possibilities today.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

You may have been experiencing a stronger need for more meaning and purpose, or personal influence, with friends, networks, or groups, dear Scorpio, and this trend is with you for many more months. This is a wonderful time for making those connections, communicating, building ideas, and sharing. You are also developing a stronger belief in your future and what you have to offer others. You might happily take the lead or become the expert that others turn to. Today, with the annual Sun-Uranus opposition, if you’ve been scattered recently, you’re likely to really feel it now. It can be difficult to find peace or even your emotional center today, but changes now can push you into a positive direction. Distractions can come from within and from without, but the best way to approach the day is to aim to be flexible and open to possibilities.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

This is a time of increased ambition, dear Sagittarius, whether it’s for the influence, prestige, or simply the satisfaction of a job well done. This is a strong period in your life for employing your natural talents and moving ahead as a result. You are coming across well and attracting respect. Whether it’s about work or an important goal, you’re more focused on achieving. Some of you could be transforming and growing relationships with parents or bosses now. This is generally a good period for money, as you are more resourceful. Today, an annual opposition between the Sun and Uranus tends to shake up the status quo, and for you, this can relate to your social or romantic life. People in your life may be rebellious, defiant, or unreliable, but changes in plans now can in fact open up possibilities you might not have known existed, so keep an open heart, mind, and schedule today! Epiphanies can occur about a relationship or creative direction.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

Pluto in your sign forms a harmonious aspect with expansive, lucky Jupiter today, dear Capricorn, and this revs up a trend that’s with you until June that encourages belief in yourself, your beliefs, and your future. This can be an especially optimistic and ambitious period for you. You can find more meaning in your life these days, and this gets you going and motivated. Pay close attention to the conversations you are having now, especially about the future. You may be reaching more people, building a following, teaching or guiding others, and sharing important ideas. Travel and educational opportunities may be part of the picture for some of you. Today, a yearly opposition between the Sun and Uranus tends to shake up the status quo, and this can relate to your work and home life. This is a time for recognizing the need for some changes in direction or method, however small or large. Finding that sometimes elusive balance between work and play, or professional and personal life, is not always easy but events of the day may motivate you to come close.

Aquarius

Aquarius

Your connections with others, and quite possibly yourself, are deepening and strengthening, dear Aquarius, as Jupiter and Pluto connect in your emotional, soulful houses. Certainly, ambition to get to the bottom of any emotional issues or problems in your life is strong now, and the results of your inner quest for answers can be very empowering. Becoming more comfortable with your desires and inner motivations can help you across the board. This can be a time for resolving long-standing problems and finding more courage to go after what you want and need. This trend lasts until June, giving you plenty of time and energy to put into self-improvement. This is a good period for support and counseling as well. Career matters can improve, whether this has to do with conditions or attitudes towards work and your larger goals. Working more on your own terms can be a theme for some of you now and in the coming months. Today, the Sun and your ruler, Uranus, face off, as they do once a year. You could feel that others are a little more demanding right now, and perhaps a little insensitive. However, changes of plans can lead to new discoveries, perspectives, and insight that truly improve your life, so don’t dig in your heels too much. There can be an epiphany or moment of truth that can be a little disruptive but also relieving.

Pisces

Pisces

There is wonderful energy with you these days and in the coming months for connecting with friends, a partner, or a special someone, dear Pisces, and coming to a better understanding of one another. Attracting suitable work is also easier and more natural now. It’s a great period for promotion, publicity, and for confidence in the future. Relationships can prosper and grow, and mutually beneficial partnerships may be formed. Today, a yearly Sun-Uranus opposition can mix things up, particularly if you’ve been sticking with traditional methods or toeing the line in some way. Ownership, sharing, power, and money matters can be at the root of challenges or the need to make changes becomes clear. Look for ways to innovate, update, and improve things now for best results.
