ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
With an emotive few days you finally come to the realisation that the past cannot be changed. The future is in your power, however. With this in mind, you make your most ambitious game plan yet.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Are you being forced to do what you don’t want? Or are you simply working as a team with those you love. This is something you still have to decide and information coming your way by phone or text is the key.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Try not to let the past destroy your present. You and I know you are such a strong sign who can do anything if they put their mind to it. Travel plans which are on your mind are the key to beginning your journey.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Look around you Cancer, and you’ll see that you’re living a life which is your own. You spent much of last year wishing for change but that’s all different now. Welcome back. A romantic opportunity is knocking.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
There is a wiser Leo that I write to today than the one I wrote to last week. Experience has made you wise and it has also led you to make decisions which can and will change the course of your life.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Being true to yourself is what will make you truly happy. Work pressures are strong, but you are nearly out of the woods. Just remember to keep to the promises you made today as many of the signs are relying on you more than you realise.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
You get the support of faces you didn’t think would be behind you. You also get to bump into faces from your past around this time, which will give you closure over something which happened in the past.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
You feel as if your battle will never end, but allow yourself to glimpse behind you for just a second and you will soon see how well you’ve done and how far you’ve come.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Winding paths lead to the most interesting changes. Even though you think you are not getting anywhere, you are actually travelling to a higher path. Mixed messages in love see you take some extremely dramatic actions.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
A better home life evolves as close ones finally realise that you are serious about the changes you want to make. Knowing how much you want to work on a past issue before you venture out today can hand you the ace you need.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Instead of dwelling on what cannot work or what is not working, why don’t you try putting your time and energy into the new things that appeal to you. A fresh start is what you want and can get from today onwards.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
If you can stop rushing through life, then you would see that you have much to enjoy. You have been far too busy trying to get to the end. Topics you have been avoiding come to light but can actually give you closure.

If You Were Born Today, February 7

hb

If You Were Born Today, February 7

You are a popular, interesting, and sociable person who truly loves people, but who also values down time and privacy. You are congenial but nobody can push you to do anything! You work on your own instincts, and you have to feel something from inside before you decide what to do next. You enjoy traveling and learning, and you intuitively know that there are so many things to discover and learn in life than what meets the eye. You have a distinct and particular sense of style. Famous people born today: Charles Dickens, Chris Rock, Ashton Kutcher, Earl King, Garth Brooks, Laura Wilder.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

Your birthday occurs around a Third Quarter Moon this year, and you are reaching an important turning point in terms of personal growth. You may be more emotional this year, and should watch for unnecessary conflicts and making hasty decisions as a result. Otherwise, this is a year of greater understanding and a strong desire to take care of business. This should be a busy, dynamic period in your life.

Especially good energy is with you for debate or energetic mental work. You benefit from an active and clear mind this year. This can be a good year to eliminate wasteful activities. You may be involved in frequent lectures, debates, and discussions during the year. You can convey your ideas more powerfully than usual. You are quick to take the initiative and to put your thoughts into action. Adventuresome travel may be part of the picture. You may be more actively involved with young people.

You are willing to put in the effort for a mental interest or project, and you can feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or ideas. You are more able to focus on what you’re doing and communicating and are more inclined to notice and consider details.

This is a time when you feel confident and supported enough to pursue your desires. It’s a good period for making yourself feel more secure and safe, as well as for family or domestic activities. This is also a period when you more readily support or defend others.

You are seeking out equal, fair, and balanced relationships. There can be a stronger inclination towards togetherness and sharing, creating harmony, and sharing power now. You may gain an advantage in business or finances or by promoting harmony and beauty.

You’re in a particularly good position for social meetings and events this year. You’re inclined to happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. This could be a good year for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as group activities. You have a taste for the offbeat this year, and this energy can bring sudden or unexpected romance into your life, perhaps a scenario that feels like love at first sight.

You have a stronger ability to direct your energies into meaningful activities. In some ways, you can be quite self-contained as you pursue passion projects.

The Sun conjuncts the South Node in your Solar Return chart, indicating that you are likely to be dealing with karma in your personal relationships. You may be feeling hesitant about pursuing your goals or “taking” what you want from life at times. Relationships always mirror our own inner conflicts, but this year, you are bound to find particular meaning in your relationship dynamics in terms of your own life path.

This is an excellent period for enterprising endeavors and new interests. You’re drawn instinctively to certain projects that have long-term value. It can be an especially creative, tuned-in year for self-expression, not only verbally but through hobbies, games, or sports. Even so, you’re especially charming and diplomatic, investing much in your relationships.

2018 is a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is generally not as active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract what–and who–you want into your life now. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice – be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect, develop, build, and attract.

2019 will be a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It’s likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, February 7th, 2018

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 7TH

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Change your words and you’ll change your feelings. You have been going the wrong way about getting answers from those around you. Keeping manners to the fore today really can work a miracle.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Don’t push matters which you know could be better left to time to solve. Knowing how others may react will be half the battle today. Your ruing planet the Moon makes you nostalgic and may see you planning to see people or places you’ve missed.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
What you plant now, you will harvest later. You may feel as if you are getting nowhere but you are wrong. The home is highlighted and you start to realise what needs to be done to bring peace in your abode.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Mix ups of communication may have made it hard for you to feel you can talk to certain people around you. The sooner you make the effort to make things feel and appear normal, the happier life will be.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
It is never too late to set new goal or dream. Take no notice of those who are setting limitations for you and make your own rules. Media links can bring luck to both your career and your personal life.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Your stars tell me that you are using excuses to stop you from doing something which would actually make you very happy. A lack of energy has stopped you from doing much this year. Re work your schedule to make it one that works for you.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Give that little bit extra to your close ones today and you will soon see that it opens up a whole new chapter of communication for you both. Forms you sign at this time begin one of your most fulfilling chapters yet.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
You need some time dedicated to getting ready for what’s ahead. You have big decisions to make, but speak from the heart then I know you will make all the right choices my friend.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Others want to get you involved in their battles but you’re looking for a quieter option today, aren’t you my friend? Stand up to bullies today and don’t be dragged into dramas others are enjoying making.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Your loyalty seems to be divided and you don’t know who you want to choose. By not choosing you will see who is really on your side. Those who really care won’t try and force you into a corner my friend.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
You start to think outside the box as to what your options are in life. Last year you found it impossible to dream big due to the influence of negative faces. That is no longer the case though is it? Watch out world.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
I know you’re not happy with a close one, but at least give them a chance to explain before you embark on any needless angry confrontations. You’ll soon learn that you have more reason to thank them than to shout at them.

Your Weekly Karmic Forecast for February 4 – 10, 2018

Weekly Forecast: February 4 – 10, 2018

Kelly M. Beard
a message from Kelly M. Beard
To read more of Kelly’s insight, please visit her website, www.KarmicTools.com

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.  

Weekly Forecast: February 4 – 10, 2018

2/4 ~ Venus (love, finances & relationships) ~square~ Jupiter (expansion & consciousness):

This energy is a happy-go-lucky kind of energy that doesn’t really want to be bothered with the mundane, however, you must not allow that passing energy to get you so off track that it costs you more than it is worth. If you don’t have any pressing obligations, then this will be a fun, relaxing time, possibly with friends having some fun. However, if you have work to do, make sure it gets done first so you can truly enjoy yourself without the worry of the pile being bigger when you return.  Watch the excesses as well, food, drink and/or spending. On a deeper level, you may have to make some adjustments in your relationships or finances. Jupiter always reveals the excess or where we make things ‘bigger’ (consciously or not). This activation usually helps us realign our true priorities with our grandest vision for the future.

2/6 ~ Venus (relationships, love & money) ~sextile~ Uranus (clarity & inspiration):

This energy, thanks to Uranus, activates a certain spark of electricity in the air. New relationships will have an unusual aspect to them and old ones can break-to-realign in a positive, even fun way with this energy. No monotonous routine, humdrum people or boring collaborations with this one. Use it to access your unique genius and the deep well of creativity and then share if you can, with other like-hearted Souls. Take advantage of this energy to tap into areas you may not have realized were available to you before. Keep it light and upbeat; socialize and enjoy the experience of different people or new activities. Keep in mind, however, any relationships begun this week may not be based on qualities needed for long-term survival. It is more a time to enjoy the people and experiences that pass through at this time and accept this gift!

2/10 ~ Sun (core essential Self) ~square~ Jupiter (imagination & truth):

This is a powerful energy and with that comes the necessity of discernment – it provokes you to get lots of things accomplished and that’s a good thing, however, beware of taking on more than you can actually handle. Having said that now, if you need that little “push” to get some things done, this is just the energy for you. It carries with it the optimism necessary to allow you to go beyond your norm and stretch in new ways. Sometimes there can be a tendency toward self-righteousness with this energy, but try to make it “self-directed” and you will benefit greatly. Walk your talk, embody your Truth. However, if you turn it on others, demanding they believe what you believe, you may have some difficulties. Be open & receptive, have a don’t-know mind because you never know what you may learn along the way that could really help you, now or in the future.

Eleanor is getting ready to take over but first…..

 

Oh, how true it is and Carol Davis does not know who she is dealing with at all. During my searches today, I found that this woman, if you want to call her that, took every bit of information we had in our Elemental Witches section. No credits, no nothing. I don’t guess she realizes that she not only stole from us but those we had permission to use their info, they are witches as well.  I have seen enough of your stealing and thieving and so have the other witches, from this day forth Carol Davis shall be known as a Warlock. She shall be cursed the rest of the days of her life. No one shits on us like this and gets away with it.

Cursed to walk this earth in shame and dishonor for you are no witch and do not belong amongst the witches.

So shall it be,

Lady of the Abyss

I bid you a good Tuesday afternoon

Wiccan Priestess
I have never been one to use graphics like the one above. Lady A left some of the sites open when she got up and left. I have watched her enough to know she always ends the day with a graphic or saying. I have no saying, perhaps as I get better at this I will.

 

We have an ice storm that has been forecast for our area. Lady Abyss is out of some of her medicine so we are leaving now to go to the Pharmacy and get them. If we have an ice storm hit, I am not being frozen in with her in her current mood. I do love her don’t get me wrong. In case you do not hear from us tomorrow, you will know that the ice has taken down the power lines and we have no internet or power. They are not predicting that much ice but I have seen how these weather people’s forecast work. They don’t. The last snow storm we were suppose to have flurries and we ended up with a foot of snow. That made me realize how much I really missed my mossy trees and gators. I grew up here but left early in my childhood, I don’t really remember the weather here. I am a very warm blooded creature.

I do hope you have enjoyed today’s posts. I know they are a little different from what you are use too but I do not know what you know or what you don’t. We have to leave you now and if the ice doesn’t pull the power lines down, we will be back tomorrow.

The Rune Candle

The Rune Candle

Select a colored candle that corresponds with the desired outcome. Cast a circle then consecrate the candle with suitable oil. While you are dressing the candle say

“Upon this candle I will write
What I require of thee tonight
May the runes of magick flow.

By mind and spell
And flame aglow. I trust that
You will grant this boon
Oh Lovely Goddess of the Moon”

Now take up your blade and carve a rune or symbol that represents the goal of the spell. Place the candle on the center of the altar and light it while proclaiming;

“As my will, so mode it be!”

Now allow the candle to burn itself out with out being disturbed.

Witches Healing Candle Spell

Witches Healing Candle Spell

To help speed a recovery from illness, write the sick person’s name upon a white human-shaped candle of the appropriate gender. As you anoint it with three drops of myrrh or mint oil, visualize healing energy in the form of white light flowing from your hands into the candle and say:
In the divine name of the Goddess
Who breathes life into us all
I consecrate and charge this candle
As a magical tool for healing.
Place the candle on top of a photograph of the sick person and then light the wick.
As the candle burns down, concentrate upon the person in the photograph, willing him
or her to be well again, and chant the following incantation:
Magick mend and candle burn,
Sickness end; good health return

Riding Yourself of Unwanted Energy 

Riding Yourself of Unwanted Energy

Take a black candle which has been ritually cleansed and some anointing oil which has also been ritually blessed. Do not use anything for this which has not been cleansed or blesed already.

Depending on the desired result, you should choose an oil which corresponds to this end.
At the time of the new moon, or when it first begins to wane, cast a circle or use your 9′ cord to create a sacred space.

Place the black candle (preferable a taper) on the altar with the oil.

Have no unblessed/uncleansed tools in this ritual.

Cast the circle.

Call the Goddess and her consort.

Use a burin to engrave the candle with the spell you wish to cast.

Now, anoint the candle using the oil. While you anoint the candle with the oil, speak these words out loud or silently

“Tonight no moon, tomorrow the first one.

Let this be eroded til my will be done.

Candle burn down to remove all ill.

Let this spell be cast by the power of my will.”

And once you have anointed the candle, place it in a safe place to burn down completely.

Just in Case – Dressing a Candle for Ritual

DRESSING A CANDLE FOR RITUAL

1. Chose type and color of candle appropriate for ritual.

2. Cleanse the candle of prior energies: you may use water, salt, pure soap, or baby oil (all previously blessed and consecrated.)

3. Bless and consecrate oil to be used, appropriate to ritual.

4. State and engrave (if you wish) what the candle is to represent.

5. Anoint the candle with oil and focus on desire (purpose of ritual.)

a. For ritual of achievement: anoint oil from the top of the candle to the middle in a downward motion, then from the bottom of the candle to the middle in an upward motion.

b. For ritual of banishment: anoint oil from the middle of the candle to the top in an upward motion, then middle to bottom of the candle in a downward motion.

6. Bless and consecrate the candle.

7. Meditate on desired outcome.

 

Medieval candle spell reversal ritual

Medieval candle spell reversal ritual

 

Do this 5 nights in a row, at dusk – as the sun dies and darkness descends.

Light 2 Black candles and as they burn, speak this invocation: |

In the name of the Gods and all ye spirits,
In the name of Kernunnos, and the light and the dark and the Gods of the Netherworld,
Remove thy curse and sting from my heart and mine.
And whosoever shall be casting a curse against me,
Let he or she suffer their own curse.
Let these candles be their candles,
This burning be their burning,
This curse be their curse.
Let the pain they have caused me and mine
Fall upon themselves.

The two candles are completely burned each night.

Another Important Technique Every Witch Needs To Know How to Do – Shielding

Shielding

 

There are many reasons to shield.  When practicing the craft or even just exercising your psychic gifts you will come across those who will drain your energy or unintentionally send out harmful energies.

 

Emotions are a powerful energy.  Anger and Fear are two of the most powerful emotions.  That wave of negative energy projected out from a person can effect or drain you.

 

Sickness..  When someone is sick, they can unknowingly drain someone close to them.  They don’t intend on doing so.  It just happens.

 

Magick attack.  Well, this is very rarely done. But it is also a possibility.  When we shield ourselves properly, it protects us from others harming via magick.

 

Exercise in Shielding

 

When someone surrounds themselves in white light without grounding they run the mistake of doing what I call “Flaring the Aura”  This is not a good thing.  Not only does it use your own energies to “power” the shield around you but makes for a bright target on the astral planes for any nasties that are drawn to bright beings. If anything hits your shield you will be drained anyway in the reflection of the attack because you used your own energies to power it.  In other words…. not good at all!

 

  1. Do a grounding exercise that you are familiar with..

 

  1. After you have completed the grounding exercise do not let go of the earth.

 

  1. See yourself in a dark room.

 

  1. Hold your hands out and visualize a bright ball of energy drawn up from the earth.  Do not discard it if you don’t get white.  Each person’s energy that they draw from the earth is different and resonates with them.  Allow it to grow in your hands till it is too heavy to hold.  Let it drop and grow till it is big enough to walk into.

 

  1. Walk into the energy.  Feel it surround you.

 

  1. See it seal around you and become an unbreakable sphere around you.

 

  1. Come back to yourself refreshed.

Getting Rid of the Magickal Leftover from our Workings & Keeping Them Out  Warding – Part 3 Warding

Getting Rid of the Magickal Leftover from our Workings & Keeping Them Out

Warding

 

Warding is keeping out unwanted influences.

This is trickier than the previous two techniques because you’ll require certain powers to assist you. You would not do any of thes techniques as a beginner, anyway, so you’ll have had pleny of time to accumulate the requirements of Warding. They are certain talismans that you’ll have gathered from the wild places, like bird skulls, feathers, bones, spiders webs, the discarded bits of animals that have moved from whtever form they inhabited before the died to that form, certain stone entities and wood entities, specific shells, and symbolic amulets. All of these kinds of things will call you, and you will collect them. They will be part f your company of entities and are like familiars but are not the same, for their powers are dormant until they ar fomed as Wards.

You will also need to acquire sealing wax.

Before a Warding, prepare as you would for a Banishing. You will also need to choose whichever of your company of entities you require to create the Ward.

A Ward is an intelligent, elemental entity (and could be considered a Witch’s medicine bundle with a specific purpose). A Ward is always to come back to you ( it is to be left to do its work for a limited cycle only (one lunar month, more or less). You are to tell no one of what you are doing, as the Ward, once it is placed, is to remain undisturbed.

You are to bless and consecrate all things that make up the Ward ( you won’t need much; keep it simple), wrap it in cloth or leather, and seal the way into the package with sealing wax. The Ward will remain active until you break the seal yourself.

You will also require a small piece of meat. This will be buried on the property and the ward will remain active while the meat decomposes. It will feed the Ward.

You are to ascertain that you scent is on both the package and the meat, so rub them both with your hands before you leave them at the site.

You will create the Ward beforehand in your own home, within a cast circle. On the night of the Warding, cleanse with intent of purification and seal your orifices with consecrated water. Take your athame and a bottle of consecrated water, as well as a packet of ordinary table salt. You will also require a small hand trowel (or a stout shovel if the ground is presumed hard!).

You will go once around the property or the area casting a circle of protection. You will repeat the encircling with the consecrated water, and go around a third time sprinkling a fine circle of salt.

All is to be done with focus and intent. You are to be really clear about who you want to keep out!

You will summon the entity, that is, the accumulative of all things within the Ward, to come out into the area of protection (these entities, once released, are never small, I warn you, but they are lovely; they are your creatures!). You will then bury the Ward very well and very secretively, placing a rock over the spot if possible to dissuade any passing beastie from digging it up. You’ll bury its food close by ( ditto with another rock).

Then cut a zone into the circle with your athame allowing those in alliance with the person you are assisting to come and to, but you will seal it with a Banishing Pentagram of Earth.

Then you leave. You are to tell the person you are assisting that you have set up protections for a certain duration only, and that you will return to remove them when the allotted time is up. They are to understand this and to agree to do whatever they must, in that time sequence, to prevent further dysfunction.

At the appointed time, you are to return to the site and dig up your Ward, summoning the entity back to you. You will then return home, break the seal, and put the bits back in their usual places, where they will remain dormant (which is their current, natural state).

Getting Rid of the Magickal Leftover from our Workings (Part 2 – Banishing)

Getting Rid of the Magickal Leftover from our Workings

Banishing

Whether it is your place or someone else’s you are to banish, you are to understand beforehand that there are not to be any form of dispute in the place, or to fill it with resentful or bitter emotions for the cycle of one Moon after your work. More often than not, the behavior would have been empathetic with whatever entity was causing the discomfort. Things are attracted to strong blasts of emotion as much as they are attracted to psychic activity. You need to be aware of this phenomenon in association with all your magickal practices, but especially where protections and enchantments are concerned.

Your Banishing is irreversible. It matters not whether the entity is a living person or an energetic agent. Banishing is about getting rid of, but “getting rid of” requires full Reaving of a property and encirclement of its boundaries, as well as the correct placing of pentagram seals when you are warding..

Before you go near the place that the banishing is to be done, you will seal off all orifices, psychic and actual, of your own body. A man has twelve, a woman has thirteen. For both: eyes, nostrils, ears, mouth, nipples, umbilicus, anus (eleven). For a man: penis (twelve). For a woman: vagina and urethra (thirteen). Secondly, you will take with you your boline, just in case you encounter the need for self-defense.

You will work the same process as reaving, but you will seal each portal of the house with a Banishing pentagram of Earth. You will keep the intent of Banishing clearly in focus at all times (words or no words).

You will work from a central point in the house to the outer most part of the property. You will conclude by encircling the entire property and laying seals on the ground at all entrances and exits.

Part 3 – Warding
