TIPS FOR MAGICKAL HEALING SPELLS c. 2014
TIPS FOR MAGICKAL HEALING SPELLS
-
Where illness derives from bewitchment, particularly where a hex was cast using some sort of tool like a wax figure,it may be necessary to find and remove the trick for healing to be accomplished. There are also usually specific magickal antidotes and jinx-reversing spells. {These issues are dealt with amongst hexes and their antidotes).
-
In general, one must cast one’s own spell. How every healing spells are unusual in that it;s very likely that someone else just cast the spell on behalf of the ailing person. The Person who needs or desires the spell may be in no condition to perform the spell. Most, although not all, healing spells demand the presence and sometimes the participation of the patient however.
-
Given the opportunity to choose, many traditions assert that the full moon is the best time to initiate healing-spells because as the moon diminishes, so should pain and illness.

Spells Of Magic – Part 2 of Spell Casting
Source: witchspellbook.com
Everybody loves some power. Power can open doors that are closed to others and it can close doors to misery. Many people are always wondering what it takes to get the power to change things and live the way they desire. While many will never get the answer, there are some who have discovered it. These are the people who use spells of magic.
know that spells and spell casters are often misunderstood by many people saying that black magic spells are evil and white magic spells are holy. There are also many more who find it challenging to separate magic from evil witchcraft. This is the reason why I am planning to ensure that by the end of this article, you have at least enough knowledge about magic spells; including ancient magic spells.

Well, I made it through posting all the regular daily posts for today. Getting Friday’s posts done….. well, I am going to try to get a least some of them done after a break to let pain meds work so I can type without it feeling like I’m sticking my fingertips with pins every time they come in contact with a key.
November 2, 2023 Current Moon Phase
(Nothern Hemisphere’s Custom Planetary Positions post will return Sunday, November 5th after the time changes is done for this hemisphere. It is too confusing for me right now to have half of the hemisphere already changed their time and the other half hasn’t. With my fibromyalgia letting me know it’s in a super flare affecting my thinking because of brain fog I just can’t do it right now without messing it up completely. I’m lucky to get all the other posts done as sometimes I forget what I am doing in the middle of a post, and it take me a bit to be able to focus again.)

Cast A Spell – Part 1 of Spelling casting
(I will be posting the rest of this article through out this week)
When you are new to the whole idea of casting a spells it may actually be a challenge to know what you need to do in order to cast a spell. What makes this even worse is that everybody seems to have an idea of what needs to be done but many of these people actually have no idea what they are talking about.
It is important to be clear how exactly to enchant if you want to cast a spell that is effective. But why is it so important? You may ask. The truth is that spells do not usually work unless they are cast properly. Ask anyone who has ever cast love spells and they will tell you how important it is to know exactly what needs to be done if you want the process to produce the right results.

Spell For Wednesday – Make Someone Call You
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER) Use the link below for more information from Tea and Rosemary about the following spell.
Make Someone Call You Source: teaandrosemary.com
This spell to make someone call you is pretty simple, but you will need a few ingredients to cast it effectively.
Ingredients:
A bay leaf (or piece of paper)
A red candle (you can substitute white if needed)
Your cellphone
A pen
I like to use a tall candle or chime candle for this spell, but you can also use a tea light candle if that’s all you have.
First, always cast a circle before beginning any spell work. Not only does it protect you from negative entities, but it keeps your energy within the circle, making the spell much stronger.
Once the circle is cast, you’re ready to begin your spell work.
Write down the name of the person (who you wish to call you) on the bay leaf using a marker or a pen, then light the candle.
Turn your phone off and flip it over so you can only see the back. Place the bay leaf on top of your phone.
Gather your energy. It can take 10-15 minutest to gather energy energy for a strong spell, so don’t rush this part. I like to use the candle flame to pull energy from, but this is a personal preference.
When you feel ready, focus on your intention and repeat the following chant:
“The desire is strong
You want to call me
You cannot stop it
Do it
Do it
Do it
So mote it be”
Repeat this chant as many times as you feel is needed. I typically say it only once, but you can say it 3 times, 7 times, or as many times as you’d like.
When you’re done, burn the bay leaf in the candle flame then snuff out the candle; use a snuffer instead of blowing the candle out as that effectively blows your spell out.
The spell to make someone call you is now complete: you can close your circle and turn your phone back on.

Top 5 Funny Quotes About November
Top 5 Funny Quotes About November Source: goodtimesbuzz.net
November, the month of chilly winds and falling leaves, is often associated with Thanksgiving and the anticipation of the upcoming holiday season. It’s a time when we gather with loved ones, indulge in delicious meals, and exchange gifts. But amidst all the hustle and bustle, it’s important to find moments of laughter and joy to keep us grounded.
To inject some humor into this November madness, here are five funny quotes that perfectly capture the essence of this unpredictable month:
1. “November: The awkward middle child between Halloween candy and Christmas cookies.”
This quote reminds us that November often gets overlooked in favor of its more festive siblings. It’s like that awkward phase between childhood innocence and adult responsibilities – you’re not quite sure where you fit in.
2. “November is nature’s way of reminding us how few daylight hours there are before Christmas shopping season begins.”
With shorter days and longer nights, November serves as a gentle nudge from Mother Nature to start preparing for the holiday frenzy ahead. It’s a humorous reminder that time flies when there are presents to be bought!
3. “Ah, November! The perfect time to knit cozy scarves while pretending I’m productive.”
As temperatures drop outside, our desire for coziness increases tenfold. This quote captures those moments when we convince ourselves that knitting a scarf somehow equates to being productive – even if it means putting off other tasks.
4. “In November, people are good at finding things they weren’t looking for but not so good at finding what they were actually searching for.”
It seems like every year during November someone stumbles upon their long-lost favorite sweater or an old recipe card buried deep within their kitchen drawers. Yet mysteriously enough, finding car keys or misplaced phone chargers remains an elusive feat.
5. “November is just October’s ugly cousin who shows up uninvited but brings pie!”
We can’t deny it – compared to October’s vibrant colors and spooky festivities, November can sometimes feel a little drab.
November 2023 Celestial Events (Including Retrograde Planet Information)
November 2023 Celestial Events Source: labroots.com
Labroots believes in the sharing of knowledge, and we wish to highlight key celestial events for November 2023 that all skywatchers are sure to enjoy. The night sky is full of wonders, from our Moon to planets to objects both within and well beyond the reaches of our solar system, and the events listed below are sure to get you excited for the wonders of astronomy. Each event is labeled in all caps for the type of event (e.g., MOON, PLANET, COMET, etc.) to provide skywatchers additional excitement to catch these incredible events!
November 3 (PLANET): Jupiter will be in opposition. This means the Sun, Earth and Jupiter will be lined up with Jupiter being the farthest of the objects. An object’s opposition means this is the most beneficial time to observe it, as it will be closest to Earth, along while being fully lit by the Sun, meaning it will be in its full phase.
November 4 (PLANET): Saturn ends retrograde motion. This means Saturn’s path across the sky will stop going in reverse and start moving forward again. Retrograde motion is experienced for all planets since they all orbit at different speeds, so they appear to move backwards during specific times of our year. For example, Saturn began appearing to move backwards in the sky on June 17 and will end this period on November 4 of this year.
November 5 (MOON): Last Quarter Moon. When observing from the Earth, this is when the entire left side of the Moon is lit while the right side is encased in darkness.
November 6 (METEOR SHOWER): Peak of Southern Taurids meteor shower. This means the Southern Taurids meteor shower will be at its maximum and viewers are recommended to see them just after midnight with an estimated five meteors per hour and some are anticipated to be fireballs.
November 9 (MOON and PLANET): The Earth’s Moon and the planet Venus will pass within 1-degree of each other.
November 10 (COMET): The comet C/2023 H2 (Lemmon) will make its closest approach to Earth, also known as perigee, at 0.19 astronomical units (AU), or approximately 17,662,000 miles away. For context, the orbit of Mars is approximately 50 million miles from the Earth’s orbit, so Lemmon will be between Earth and Mars during its perigee.
November 11 (MOON and STAR): The Earth’s Moon and the star Spica will pass within just over 2-degrees of each other.
November 13 (MOON): New Moon. When observing from the Earth, this is when the entire Moon will be completely encased in darkness.
November 14 (MOON, PLANET, and STAR): The Earth’s Moon will pass just over 1-degree from the planet Mercury and just under 1-degree from the star Antares.
November 16 (PLANET and STAR): The planet Mercury will pass just over 2-degrees from the star Antares.
November 18 (METEOR SHOWER, PLANET, and SUN): Peak of Leonids meteor shower. This means the Leonids meteor shower will be at its maximum and viewers are recommended to see them just after midnight with an estimated 10-15 meteors per hour and some are anticipated to be fireballs. Additionally, Mars will be in conjunction with the Sun, meaning the Red Planet will be on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. This is clearly unobservable, but just a neat way to know where Mars will be located during this time.
November 20 (MOON and PLANET): First Quarter Moon. When observing from the Earth, this is when the entire right side of the Moon is lit while the left side is encased in darkness. Additionally, the Moon will pass within just over 2-degrees from the planet Saturn.
November 21 (METEOR SHOWER): Peak of Alpha Monocerotids meteor shower. This means the Alpha Monocerotids meteor shower will be at its maximum and viewers are recommended to see them just after midnight with variable number of meteors per hour and some are anticipated to be fireballs.
November 25 (MOON and PLANET): The Earth’s Moon will pass just over 2-degrees from the planet Jupiter.
November 27 (MOON and CONSTELLATION): Full Beaver Moon, which was given this name from Native American tribes in celebration of beavers. Additionally, the Moon will pass just over 1-degree from the constellation Pleiades.
November 28 (METEOR SHOWER, PLANET, and STAR): Peak of November Orionids meteor shower. This means the November Orionids meteor shower will be at its maximum and viewers are recommended to see them just after midnight with three meteors per hour and some are anticipated to be fireballs. Additionally, the planet Venus will pass just over 3-degrees from the star Spica.

About November’s Full Moon
With the changing of the seasons, November’s full moon marks the beginning of the end. In many different cultures, November’s full moon is intimately connected with death and loss, on both a literal and symbolic level. The Celts, for instance, called it the Reed Moon, comparing the mournful music made by wind instruments to the ghoulish sounds of spirits being drawn into the underworld. And not without good reason – the Full Mourning Moon marks a dangerous time of the year where people could easily slip into the underworld with a single misstep.
We may enjoy the luxury of winter coats and central heating now, but freezing to death during the long, dark winters used to be a very real threat to early inhabitants of Northern America. In order to survive, making warm winter clothing out of beaver fur was crucial for American colonists and Native American tribes. This is why November’s full moon is also known as the Beaver Moon. During this month, beavers are very active, working hard on dam construction, and so this was a good time to start harvesting their fur.
Missing the timing for this would mean death for these early Northern American communities, as the rivers would freeze over, making it impossible to set out traps. Many Native American tribes, including the Cree, Arapaho, and Abenaki tribes, called November’s full moon the “Moon When Rivers Start to Freeze”. This name drives home the importance of November’s full moon as a signal for these Native American tribes to begin trapping beavers before it was too late, as well as to complete their preparations for the darkest depths of winter.
For the Pagans, on the other hand, the final stage of their winter preparations involve the very important process of “mourning” – which is why they call the last moon before the winter solstice the Mourning Moon. After a full year of accumulating possessions, both physically and otherwise, the Mourning Moon is the perfect time to let go of old, unnecessary things, while giving yourself permission to mourn their passing. Practicing Pagans may perform a moonlit ritual where they write down the things they want to rid themselves of, and ask their Goddess for help in removing unwanted burdens.
Pagan traditions aside, anyone can benefit from taking the time to self-reflect and to let go. Take advantage of the Full Mourning Moon this November to look back on your year and take stock of your desires, your ambitions, your mental and behavioral habits, and the people you spend your energy on. Clean your living and work spaces, and sort out the physical objects that are not contributing to your well-being. Take the time to fully mourn and let go of anything – or anyone – that does not bring you joy, so that you can begin to move forward, unfettered, towards a lighter and happier new year.
