Ogham Stones And Ancient Irish Writing
Well, that’s the technical explanation of this old Celtic form of communication, but for me the very word brings to mind images of ancient stones pointing skyward in mystical spots throughout the Irish landscape.
So today, let’s explore some of these magnificent structures from centuries past and learn a little about the stories and messages carved on their edges and faces.

November 24, 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemispheres
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for November 25th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 23.33 days old and 31.15% illuminated with a tilt of -25.339°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,129.53 km and the moon sign is Virgo.
The Moon phase for November 25th, 2024 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).
In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.
The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

The Summerland and the Afterlife: The Beauty of Rest and Rebirth
The concept of an afterlife has captivated human imagination for centuries, offering solace, hope, and a glimpse into what lies beyond our earthly existence. In Wicca, the idea of the afterlife is embodied in the beautiful concept known as The Summerland. Join us as we explore these beliefs and their significance in Wiccan spirituality.
What Is The Summerland?
The Summerland is the Wiccan term for the afterlife, described as a peaceful and joyous place where souls go to rest and rejuvenate before being reincarnated into their next life. It is said to be a realm that exists in parallel with our physical world, accessible only through death or astral projection.
History of the Summerland
In Wiccan belief, The Summerland symbolizes a time of transition, where the soul can bask in the divine energy of nature and experience spiritual growth.
This realm holds immense significance for many Neopagans such as practitioners of types of Wicca and other traditions of witchcraft. It serves as a reminder that life is a cyclic journey, where death is not an end but a part of the eternal dance of creation and rebirth. The Summerland represents the eternal return of life, a place where souls find solace and prepare for their next adventure on the wheel of life.

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Honey Sweetening Jar Spell Made Easy: MAGIC for Kindness
Sweetening spells use the power of Kitchen Magic to transform the qualities of certain ingredients 🍯 into a matching frequency. Sugar, honey, candy and chocolates are all good sweetening agents and powerful ingredients in this type of spells.
This is a sweetening jar with honey that will help you improve the relationship with your boss, a coworker, or someone in your family, in an easy and effective way. If you’re looking for a 💑 Honey Jar Spell to return a lover click here.
⚠️ A sweetening ritual is a spiritual exercise that may involve manipulating someone else’s behavior. Playing with other people’s free will is not always acceptable for Wiccans and other types of Witches. If you are a Beginner, make sure you are familiar with these basic Rules of Spellcasting.
Honey Sweetening Jar Spell Made Easy
Learn how to make a honey jar spell with easy ingredients. This witch bottle can act like a boss fix and improve a relationship.
What you’ll need
1 jar with lid
1 pink candle
Honey (if you don’t have honey, use sugar instead)
Paper
Pen or pencil
One of these herbs (fresh or dried): Bay leaf, Lavender, Cinnamon.
How to make a honey jar spell
The jar you use must have a lid. You can use any type of jar, even a bottle, provided it has a lid that seals well.
On the piece of paper, write the person’s full name.
Take a pinch of the herb you chose and sprinkle it on top of the paper. Bay leaf, Lavender and Cinnamon all have purifying and protective qualities.
Fold the paper once towards you and put it inside the jar.
Take a spoonful of honey and add it to the jar. Add another spoonful until it covers the paper entirely. Say the following spell:
Seal the jar tightly. Place the pink candle on top of the lid and light it.
Meditate upon the candle flame, visualizing the person sweetening their attitude toward you. Picture this person smiling, being kind, and paying attention to you.
Never let candles burn unattended. If you leave the room, put out the candle and keep burning it once a week or whenever you feel like it. Once the candle is totally out, toss the remains of wax and keep the jar closed, stored in a dark place where nobody will touch it.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today
So today I wake up again to a cloudy, chilly cold day and all I want to do is curl up on the couch and read a good book, like Alice Worth Series – Heart of the Damn by Lisa Edmonds, with Crystal Moon and Merlin after doing posts instead I have to go with Big Dawg to serve documents….GRRR. I am lucky with my depression that these kinds of days do not make it worse, but my fibromyalgia and arthritis do not agree. My depression gets worse with too many sunny days or in the late spring throughout the summer. Why? Neither I or my doctor can figure it out, so I just deal with it by wearing very dark sunglasses and having black out curtains through our home except the kitchen. I feel the kitchen should always be bright and sunny to bring more energy and love from RA into the heart of our home.
What do you like to do on cloudy, chilly days? If it effects your mood know that while I am not a doctor or any type of therapist I am here if you just want to talk friend to friend. As I am an ordained minister nothing, we talk about will ever go any further than my ears or eyes. Just email me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and all things positive!
Blessed be.
