Eyes of the Wolf Spell

Eyes of the Wolf Spell

(Wolf Moon)
As the first full moon after the winter solstice or Yule, the Wolf Moon is one of the most important of the high moons. A  full moon occurs when the sun and the moon are aligned on opposite sides of the earth. This alignment of the two celestial bodies has a strong effect on the  earth. This alignment of the two celestial bodies has a strong effect on the earth, producing a time when energy is high. This is why full moon rituals can  be incredibly powerful times for doing magick.
When looking through the eyes of the wolf, the idea is to perceive the true nature of people, events and experiences.  Expand your perception and awareness using the instincts of the wolf. The wolf is part of a pack that use their knowledge and wits to survive a time when the  earth is cold and barren.
This is also when new patterns are conceived, setting the stage for what is to come. This is also the ideal time for  foretelling the future, clairvoyance, and divination practices.
At midnight, begin by drawing a circle of light. This is done by standing at your altar and pounding the stick end of  your wand on the altar nine times. Pick up you athame and point it toward the north point of your circle. Starting and ending in the north, draw a magickal  circle of light clockwise around the circle. Next, call in the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Standing in the middle of the circle, call in the powers of the wolf:
“On this full moon night at this hour
I call now upon the ancient animal powers
To guide me in the ways of the wolf
Where instinct and wit prevail
Through darkness, wind, rain and hail
I am the wolf, the wolf is me
So be it! Blessed be!
As you enjoy your evening, imagine seeing through the eyes of the wolf. Imagine dreaming with the eyes of the wolf. In  the morning pull up the circle and thank the elements. Also than the wolf for its guidance and power.

Begin by brewing the vanilla tea and letting it steep for a few minutes. Add the three drops of lemon juice while saying  the following:

A Matter of Fate

A Matter of Fate

(Wolf Moon)
The three most notable and powerful giant maidens in Norse mythology are the Norns, which their shape-shifting wolf  companions called the Hounds of Norns. These giant goddesses of fate are named Urd, who represents the past, Verdandi, who symbolizes the present, and Skuld,  who signifies the future. Even Gods cannot undo what the Norns weave into the fabric of fate.
As you drift off to sleep, give yourself the suggestion that you will meet the three Norns in your dreams. Repeat to  yourself:
“I will meet the Norns in my dreams and remember the answer to my question when I wake up.”
  If you have something specific you want to ask them, then feel free to ask it. Otherwise, leave it up to the Norns to tell you what you need to know. When  you meet the Norns in your dreams, don’t be afraid to confront them and ask them what you want to know. When you awake, be sure to make a note of any  answers or information you receive in your journal.

Swan Maiden Meditation

Swan Maiden Meditation

(Wolf Moon)
Tonight you will be dreaming with the Swan Maidens. Said to have created the Milky Way they dress in feathers and wear  silver or gold necklaces and crowns. They are partial to moonstones, skylarks, butterflies, and flowers. Swan Maidens appear as white swans or beautiful and  humanlike, with large eyes and white skin scented like lilies. Only dangerous when threatened, they are graceful and enchantingly beautiful faeries known for  their powerful magick and helpful ways.
As you are drifting off to sleep, imagine your arms becoming wings. Moving them up and down, you begin to fly up in the  air. You find yourself in a flock of Swan Maidens, who take you to an enchanted place where golden chains hold up palaces hanging from a giant tree. Below is  a pool of water that contains all knowledge and wisdom.
You fly down next to the pool of water and look up at the towering tree that houses all realms of being. You think about  something you want to know and reach down to scoop up a handful of the water. As you drink, the knowledge rushes into every part of your being. Give yourself  the suggestion that you will remember what you want to know when you wake up in the morning. When you awaken, make a note of all you recall from your dreams  in your journal.

The Cauldron of Kerridwen Potion

The Cauldron of Kerridwen Potion

Wolf Moon

Containing the magickal potion of inspiration, the Cauldron of Kerridwen was kept at either Caer  Sidhe or the Corona Borealis. Three drop of this magick potion would confer wisdom on any who had the courage to drink it. In mythology, nine maidens guarded  the brew, making it a task worthy of Hercules or Zena to procure the potion. Thankfully, you don’t have to go to that extreme because you can make your  own using the following instructions.

For this spell, you will need a clear quartz crystal and a chalice filled with spring  water.

Begin by clearing and programming your clear quartz crystal. Place the crystal in your power hand,  while at the same time placing the middle finger and thumb of your other hand on the bottom and top of the crystal. In your mind’s eye imagine a clear  mountain stream running through the crystal, washing it clean of all energy. Use the Vogel Pulsed-Breath technique to charge the crystal, only this time  imprint the image of the clear mountain stream instead of the moon into the stone. Pulse your breath into the crystal filling the stone with the image in in  your mind. Repeat the process three times for best results.

Repeat the process, only this time imagine all the creative things you want to put into the crystal.  Bring them all together into one image and then use your breath to pulse the image into the crystal. Do this three times to make sure the crystal is  thoroughly programmed.

Place the crystal in the cup of spring water, and leave it there overnight. In the morning, place  the potion in an enclosed jar, and use sparingly, three drops at a time, for filling yourself and everyone around you with creative energy.

Daily Feng Shui News for Jan 15 – ‘Humanitarian Day’

On ‘Humanitarian Day’ do something totally swell for someone without letting them know. Pay the toll for the car behind you or sneak a latte onto a coworker’s desk without telling them who put it there. Then do something in your own space that will affect a shift towards peace and harmony. Bring home a healthy green plant, or hang a round and faceted crystal somewhere in your space. The plant will facilitate healing on every level while the crystal will lift the soul and the psyche. When you do anything to improve the place where you reside, you will also improve the neighborhood you live in. And why stop there? This ripple effect can improve the whole world. Just one special something placed with intent inside your space can have a huge impact on the entire universe. That makes you a real and true humanitarian and global citizen in good standing.

Your Charm For Today

The Tet

Today’s Meaning:  

This aspect is influenced by someone who finds you irresistible, yet they will say nothing of it.

General Description:   

The Tet, or Tat, amulet was most popular with the ancient Egyptians, among whom the power of charms was believed to be irresistible. They were worn to protect the human body, living and dead alike from evil influences, and from attacks of invisible and visible enemies. The Setting up of the Tet (the reconstruction of the body of Osiris the god of vegetation and everlasting life) was a religious ceremoney, celebrated annually at Abydos, in Upper Egypt, and in the Delta at Busiris. Worn as a talisman for protection from evil also for strength and stabiltiy

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Jan. 15th is The Tower

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

 

The Tower

As in the game of chess, where the towers stand guard at the corners of the battlefield, The Tower represents a defense and stronghold, perhaps at the edge of life, of change, of sanity. The tower rises out of solid bedrock and is a place to take refuge, to recoup, to meditate upon the next step. United as it is with solid earth, it also rises into the heavens, and it is there the answers appear to us, when we have climbed above daily worldly matters into a higher consciousness. When the Tower appears, seek solitude and cultivate inner strength, prepare for coming challenges.

As a daily card The Tower suggests you are in a time when you are likely to face major challenges. The Tower indicates that the best way for you to face these challenges is to fortify your inner resources and keep yourself solidly grounded.

Today’s Tarot Card for Jan. 15 The Devil

The Devil

Wednesday, Jan 15th, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What has traditionally been known as the Devil card expresses the realm of the Taboo, the culturally rejected wildness and undigested shadow side that each of us carries in our subconscious. This shadow is actually at the core of our being, which we cannot get rid of and will never succeed in taming. From its earliest versions, which portrayed a vampire-demon, this card evoked the Church-fueled fear that a person could “lose their soul” to wild and passionate forces.

The image which emerged in the mid-1700’s gives us a more sophisticated rendition — that of the “scapegoated Goddess,” whose esoteric name is Baphomet. Volcanic reserves of passion and primal desire empower her efforts to overcome the pressure of stereotyped roles and experience true freedom of soul. Tavaglione’s highly evolved image (Stella deck) portrays the magical formula for harnessing and transmuting primal and obsessive emotions into transformative energies. As a part of the Gnostic message of Tarot, this fearsome passion and power must be reintegrated into the personality, to fuel the soul’s passage from mortal to immortal.

Full Moon in Cancer Horoscopes

Full Moon in Cancer Horoscopes

It’s safety first during 2014’s first Full Moon

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of horoscopes, full moon, cancer, astrology
 
 
 

The sensitive Cancer Moon opposing the pragmatic Capricorn Sun on January 15, 2014, is a dance between soft and hard. Inner needs dominate from the lunar side but external demands tell the solar half of the story. Both signs, though, share an interest in security. Finding ways to protect feelings while taking on the tough tasks of the world is the gift and challenge of this Full Moon. Stabilizing Saturn in Scorpio’s favorable connections with the Sun and Moon reward those who dig deeply to reveal untapped resources and unmet needs.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

This Full Moon in subjective Cancer and your 4th House of Roots turns your attention inward. It helps you to recognize what you need to stay on the road to success. Emotional support is essential but getting it may require you to open up and expose your inner self. You usually try to avoid feeling vulnerable, but allowing this can lead to the kind of tenderness that supplies the drive required to reach your professional goals.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Tender words and imaginative ideas flow freely with this sensitive Cancer Full Moon in your 3rd House of Communication. There is a risk of taking everything too personally, but if insecurities don’t get out of hand, greater intimacy and trust will follow. A more caring way of connecting helps to overcome differences of philosophies and long-range goals. Adapting to immediate circumstances reduces stress about the future.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

This security-conscious Cancer Full Moon lands in your 2nd House of Resources to shine a light on how you handle your assets. If a financial crisis flares up, slowing down your reaction to it will help you to make a wise decision. Stabilizing Saturn’s favorable aspects to this Sun-Moon opposition helps you to resist pressure from others with patience and maturity that earns you trust and, perhaps, more money as well.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The Full Moon in your sign lights up your 1st House of Personality. Feelings come to the surface and your reactions to people grow stronger. Putting yourself first, though, is the message of this lunation. Reliable Saturn’s favorable angle to the Sun and Moon encourages self-trust and offers the confidence needed to pursue your desires with the focus, commitment, and persistent needed to get what you want.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Imagination, intuition, and enlightenment are potential gifts of this Cancer Full Moon. It occurs in your 12th House of Spirituality where you benefit from having more private time. Communing with nature and engaging in prayer, meditation, or yoga are excellent ways to gain inner strength and support. Awakening to a higher sense of purpose can give new meaning to your life and clarify a big decision about work.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

This emotionally charged Cancer Full Moon lands in your 11th House of Groups where it can spur a crisis among colleagues or friends. While over-reacting isn’t recommended, it’s still healthier to express strong feelings than to keep them to yourself. You’re likely to find that others are having similar responses and that your honesty can be a motivating force that brings more passion and motivation to the team.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Professional matters are likely to take priority with this Cancer Full Moon in your 10th House of Career. While gaining attention and getting additional duties are possible, it seems that you need to be emotionally invested in your job to appreciate it now. If challenges arise at work, avoid making a big scene about them. Instead, take a long, hard look at the path you’re on and think about changing course if you’re not happy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Visions of faraway places can make it difficult to feel settled and comfortable where you are. This emotionally charged Cancer Full Moon occurs in your 9th House of Travel. Restlessness is likely, which can be helpful if it motivates you to broaden your horizons. Connecting with people in distant locations and a sudden desire to advance your education are favorable potential outcomes of this soul stirring transit.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Relationships could grow in intensity with this emotional Cancer Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Demanding partners — personal and professional — challenge you to meet their needs. Deciding which, if any, are worth responding to is part of this event is about. Another side of it, though, is for you to open up and expose your vulnerability. Doing so can earn trust and greater intimacy with others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

The cuddly and self-protective Cancer Moon opposes the Sun in your pragmatic sign. This occurs in your 7th House of Partners where it tests your ability to respond to emotional people. Being tender with others is essential to maintaining productive alliances. Their strong feelings might upset your plans, but if you’re willing to show some flexibility, current connections are deepened and new ones likely to occur.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Powerful feelings can have an effect on your work with this Cancer Full Moon in your 6th House of Employment. You could be feeling moody or insecure about your job, but the higher purpose of this lunation is to engage you more deeply in your daily tasks. You’re being pushed beyond your intellect to tap into emotions that don’t make immediate sense, but which might show you the way to happiness.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

This could be a delicious Cancer Full Moon because it falls in your 5th House of Play, Creativity and Romance. Opening your heart can, of course, lead to some emotional excess, but it’s smarter and safer than suppressing your feelings. Finding an outlet to express yourself through love, art, and imagination is not only exciting, but can build your confidence and make you a more powerful presenter of your ideas.

Saturn

Saturn

Tarotcom Staff Tarotcom Staff on the topics of saturn, planets, insight, astrology

Saturn is the planet of limitations and lessons. Because he is associated with restriction, Saturn’s transits and aspects are sometimes dreaded. The truth, though, is that Saturn isn’t about punishment, he’s about karma — if you put in the work where Saturn says you need to (as dictated by his location in your Astrology birth chart), you are rewarded; yet if you neglect to listen to Saturn’s lessons, you might not like the consequences.

Saturn’s biggest spotlight-moment in Astrology comes at a person’s Saturn Return. The Saturn Return happens when Saturn returns to the exact point in the sky where it was when that person was born, which happens every 28 – 30 years. Think of the Return as Saturn’s version of Judgment Day, the time when he decides if you’ve made progress or not, and either doles out rewards, or consequences that will help move a person closer to learning the lessons that have been missed so far.

Nickname: The Taskmaster

Zodiac sign Saturn rules: Capricorn

Exalted in: Libra

House Saturn rules: 10th House of Career, Authority and Publicity

Saturn stays in each zodiac sign for: 2 1/2 years

Saturn makes a complete trip through the zodiac: once every 28 – 29 years

Saturn retrogrades: about once every year, with each retrograde lasting around four or five months

In Roman mythology, Saturn was a god that ruled over time and justice. Before the discovery of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (that came after the invention of the telescope), Saturn was the last visible planet in our solar system, giving it its association with limits and boundaries.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 15th

Stop, look and listen! This isn’t the easiest Full Moon day in recent memory as the Moon makes its monthly opposition to Venus (6:17AM) a few hours before Venus forms a frictional, 45-degree tie with Neptune (10:11AM) and the Sun makes a similar, 45-degree link with Chiron (12:44PM). The 45-degree aspect (one-eighth of the zodiacal circle of 360-degrees) can sometimes be empowering as well as dis-empowering. Therefore, it is wise to lend a helping hand to as many people as possible right now.  The enlightening Full Moon — energizing 26 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer — arrives at 8:53PM. Individual and group meditations are advised. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity in need of illumination. Think more about your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth than on fulfilling personal desires. Be aware that the Moon in Cancer also begins a void lunar cycle at 8:53PM that continues until 5:02AM tomorrow when the lunar orb enters fiery Leo. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard 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 Jan. 15th – Full Moon

Full Moon

(waning/100% of Full)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Let’s Talk Witch – How To Meditate

Let’s Talk Witch – How To Meditate

 

To begin, sit in a darkened room (not pitch dark, but dim lights). Sit still, sit quiet, for 10 minutes. No music, no talking, no tapping your fingers, no jiggling your foot, no moving your head or cracking your neck or looking around. It’s harder than you think. If you don’t make it through the first time, try again the next day (don’t rush it or you’ll just get really mad at yourself – this isn’t a speed competition!) and keep trying until you can sit still and quiet for 10 minutes. You can think about anything you want, the point is to be physically still, and not have any external stimuli (no TV, no music, no whatever). This teaches you to have a quiet body. This also teaches you about time, because it’s hard to know how long 10 minutes is. Your eyes can be opened or closed, it doesn’t matter (and blinking isn’t counted as moving, so you can blink all you want).

Once you are able to sit still for 10 minutes, then try sitting for 10 minutes and think only about white things. If you start to think about something that isn’t white, stop yourself, and start thinking about white things again. Here’s a list of words to help you get started:

Snow, polar bears, cotton, vanilla pudding, paper, light bulbs, chicken, arctic hare, white wolf, beluga whale, dove, cream, soap, flower, milk, flour, rice, refrigerator, tooth, swan, snowy owl, sand, stones, clouds

Once you have done it, do it twice more, on different days. Ten minutes thinking about things that are white. It will teach you how to concentrate and how to have a quiet mind. If you think about white things and you start to move, try again. If you are still, but you think about what that jerk on the bus said to you today, try again. Each time you try, take at least a one day break in between your tries. You will learn concentration and discipline, both very important for meditation. Don’t rush it, this isn’t a contest!

When you are comfortable with spending 10 quiet, still, minutes thinking about things that are white, try 10 minutes thinking about things that are natural, like animals, grass, trees, sky, and so on. Anything in the natural world, made naturally and not altered by human hands. Remember to keep still, and keep quiet. Don’t say the things out loud, just think them in your head.

If your mind wanders, just pull it back. So if you are thinking about animals, and you think about your cat, and your cat’s fur, and your cat’s meow, and the neighbourhood dog that chases your cat, that is fine. If you then think about the neighbourhood dog that barks, and your stupid neighbour who lets the dog bark at night and it wakes you up and then you get a bad sleep and you have an important meeting tomorrow and… now you have let your mind wander. Immediately think of another natural thing, and refocus yourself.

Then, practice and practice and practice until thinking about natural things is really really easy, and being still is really really easy. Think about different things each time – maybe think about animals one time, and then flowers the next time.

I recommend thinking about natural things because it is a great way to connect to the Goddess. So that when you want to meditate on the goddess Diana, for example, you can concentrate on things that are important to Her: trees, a cool stream, a deer, a dog and so on, without getting off track.

Give it a try, it will take some time to get good, but it will be worth every minute you spend trying. It will let you connect better with the Goddess, and that will increase the power of your spells and magick.
