Friday is ruled by Venus, and that can only mean one thing: Love magick! Friday is the traditional day to do love-drawing magic, or cast a spell to bring your lover closer. Besides sexual attraction, spells of friendship, sympathy, reconciliation and self-love fall under Friday’s love-magick heading. Because Venus is closely connected to the natural world, it’s also a good day to harvest plants and herbs for magical uses. Also on Friday: Do mirror magick. Make baths, potions, and philtres. Weave glamours and enchantments. Craft workings for pleasure, enjoyment, and intoxication.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

OTHILA
Separation, Withdrawal, Heir
This is the time of your ways separating. Old skin must shed, outdated relationships need to be given up. If this rune appears, a “molting” is necessary. Othila is a rune of the radical separation. Obedience and probably also withdrawal is necessary – to know, when and how you need to withdraw, and to actually have the determination, to do it. Property is also an aspect of this rune, because Othila is the rune of the acquisition and profit. The profit however, that “heir”, which you receive, could likely be made of something that you need to abandon. This process can be especially hard if that what needs to be abandoned is something of your cultural heir and backing. Not ‘rigidly’ but rather like a ‘river’ is the correct attitude to have. And yet – you have to wait that the universe begins to act.

Rings
Bonding, alliance, marriage, teams, family
This witches rune indicates an issue, be it good or bad, with family, co-workers, friends, etc. Bonding on different levels is also the message.
Ogham
Source: druidogham. wordpress.com
Mor
Change, shift, the sea, maps, realm of the subconscious, great undercurrents
Tree: Witch hazel (Hamamelis spp.)
Letter: X
“Sea change” is a term for profound or holistic change. Change is the foundation of existence. The interplay of opposing forces creates and destroys ad infinitum. Mor bookends the concept of change introduced by the first Ogham, Beith. The intention that sowed an action reaped a habit, the habit reaped a character, and the character reaped a destiny. The new track in space has been laid and change is inevitable.
When you draw Mor, look for the changes in and around you. These are not necessarily good or bad. Often, drawing this Ogham can mean something as basic as “oh look, the season of Spring is arriving”. Mor doesn’t have to indicate any kind of drama, although it could. Mor calls out to you to look at overarching influences, new factors or people, and to examine the permutations and possibilities of how they affect the environment.
Mor is a bird’s eye view of opposing forces in our lives rather than being upswept by the random forces that weave in and out of our daily existences. Understanding your own subconscious gives you the ability to calmly deal with challenges that come your way. The work you do on understanding yourself is the sails you build on your boat in the great sea of life. You still need to figure out which way the wind is blowing, of course, but knowing a thing or two about your own position, your tendencies, desires, faults, and strengths will give you the power you need to dodge rocks and survive storms.

People with prominent 4’s can seem dispassionate and solitary, preferring to toil in quiet obscurity. They work steadily and are extremely persistent, finding deep satisfaction in their accomplishments.
The 4 favors results over financial reward and public recognition. They are humble, often dress conservatively, and don’t clash with their surroundings.
The 4 does not like to draw attention but will fight tooth and nail if you try to muscle in on their territory.

Support from angelsI am very lucky to see Angel Number 4. The angels will be near you, support you, and will guide you in the event of trouble.
Angel number 4 thus has the meaning of angel support. If you ask angels for help, they will surely help you.
Be sure to receive the support of these angels and turn that support into your own energy and move forward. The power received from the angel will eventually become important to you.
The angels are cheering that you have done a lot of hard work and you haven’t failed. That’s why so many angels are protecting you around you so that your life goes well in the future.

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card
The Hermit
The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can both learn and teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy rapidly. To avoid mental and physical overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.
Your Personal Daily Love Tarot Card
The Fool
You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.
Your Personal Daily Erotic Tarot Card
The Judgement
The Judgement card indicates that you’ve had some sexual hang-ups in the past, but you’re working toward getting over them. This is a period of transition, and although you’re doing the work, you may not be getting the exact results you desire. Forgive yourself for past missteps in order to take a sexual step forward today. Being afraid to express your true erotic self can even effect other areas of your life, so getting beyond your sexual inhibitions translates into a happier overall existence.

Joyful birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!
May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.
Being a Taurus born on May 1st, you are passionate and committed to your ideas. Although you are generally sensible and polite, you can also become quite temperamental when things don’t go as you’d like them to.
You enjoy making yourself respected and prefer to stay away from any controversy. You are also very loyal to your family. Get ready to better understand your horoscope profile below.
The zodiac sign for May 1 is Taurus.
Astrological symbol: Bull. This relates to simplicity, wealth, strong nature and tension coupled with peace. This is the symbol for people born between April 20 and May 20 when the Sun is considered to be in Taurus.
The Taurus Constellation, one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac is placed between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East and its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°. The brightest star is Aldebaran while the whole formation is spread on 797 sq degrees.
In Italy it is named Toro while the Spanish call it Tauro. However, the Latin origin of the Bull, the May 1 zodiac sign is Taurus.
Opposite sign: Scorpio. This complementary relationship with Taurus across the horoscope chart suggests practicality and mystery and shows how these two signs can help each other in keeping things balanced.
Modality: Fixed. This modality of those born on May 1 shows curiosity and enthusiasm and also offers a sense of their humorous nature.
Ruling house: The second house. This house represents all material and non material possessions an individual gets in a lifetime. This only doubles the influence orienting Taurus towards wealth and life’s pleasure.
Ruling body: Venus. This celestial body is said to influence sympathy and authority. It is also relevant from the sentimentalism perspective. The Venus glyph is composed by the circle of spirit and the cross of matter.
Element: Earth. This is an element for the dignified and polite individuals born under the May 1 zodiac. It allows fire and water to model it while it incorporates air.
Lucky day: Friday. Under the governing of Venus, this day symbolizes allure and sympathy. It is suggestive for the Taurus natives who are friendly .
Lucky numbers: 7, 8, 13, 15, 26.
Motto: “I own!”
People born on May 1 have certain and assiduous temperaments and they often choose to be accommodating and wait for a certain result rather than force things out. They are the ones who know how to appreciate refinement and the mushy value of even material holdings. They dislike getting into any heated controversies but they are rapid to show how bull headed they are when they consider something is relevant enough as to be worth the fight. They can be very polite and accepting but only with those who gain their scrutiny and respect.
Positive Traits: These natives are affectionate and loyal and seem to approach all life matters in a sensible manner. They are highly dependable and always try to respect their promises and finish whatever they said they would, regardless of the hardships they might meet along the way. They are hardworking and loyal and anyone can depend on them as long as there is a relationship of mutual respect instilled in between.
Negative Traits: These natives find it hard to make decisions sometimes and are prone to laziness as they tend to avoid some obstacles and even let them pile up. Of course it is better for them that they deal with them later than never, but they would avoid a lot of effects if they were to pay more scrutiny. They often find escape routes by coming with easy explanation and rapid fixes but they are also spiteful if others critique their results. They need to begin seeing beyond personal gain in order to grow up spiritually.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 1 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.
May 1 Zodiac people are most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is permanently seeking for an unpredictable companion who can keep his interest alive and the best to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is said to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.
Lucky Color: Green is the color for Taurus zodiac.
Soothing green symbolizes growth and renewal. This hue is placed in great harmony with the moments of calm and shyness of Taurus and this is exactly what they need, a relaxing but energizing color. The power color can be used in things around, from clothes, decorations to even the color of your vehicle.
Other colors that are good for people born on May 1 are pink, yellow and most earth tones.
Representative Birthstone: The sign stone for Taurus zodiac is the stunning Emerald.
This precious stone is said to conduct positive and creative energies towards the wearer. It can help Taurus regain self confidence and communicate easier with others.
Other sign stones that are considered to influence people born on May 1 are Rose Quartz and Lapis Lazuli.
Characteristic Flower: Poppy is the flower of choice for Taurus zodiac.
Poppy symbolizes sensibility, grace and liveliness. From ancient times it referred to the eternal character of life and the remembrance of the ones lost.
Other flowers considered to bring luck to people born on May 1 are Violet and Lily.
Symbolic Metal: Copper is the metal of choice for Taurus zodiac.
Copper symbolizes liveliness and a nurturing nature. One of the first materials discovered by mankind, this metal is said to bring prosperity and influence romantic affairs.
Another metal considered lucky for Taurus is Silver.
Characteristics: May 1 Zodiac belongs to the second decan of TAURUS (April 30-May 10). This decan is under the supervision of the planet Mercury. Those born in this period are dependable and affectionate just like a true Taurus and communicative and friendly just as Mercury makes them be.

Happy Beltane to Our Northern Hemisphere WOTC Family! A Thought for Today
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ALL THOSE BORN IN MAY!
Joyful birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!
May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.
Beltane – Spring is Here! Time to Get Your Gardens Ready
Welcome to springtime in the southern hemisphere. As the warmer weather comes a witches thoughts turns to sowing a garden. A garden can mean a different thing to each of us. For me it is getting my physical seeds ready for my veggie garden, to check to see if my herbs survived the winter or if I need to start new ones. Spiritually it means starting new seeds/paths for me to be able to grow to be closer to Mother Earth, the Universal energies, my students, and my teachers. To be able in the fall to reap full benefits of all that I have learned and put them into practice whether it is in my own personal life or helping my students with something. This year I need to plant new seeds and seedlings for all my flower gardens because early heavy rains in this part of the country washed away two inches of top soil in all my flower beds.
What does planting a garden mean to you? Do you plant flowers, vegetables, herbs, goals or a little of all of these or any combination? Remember whatever you plant will come to fruition with the right amount of love, watering (spiritually this can be communicating with each other in the pagan community or even be emailing me to say hi), sunshine (remember to thank the Sun God) and nurturing from within yourself (positive thoughts and affirmations) and from others in our community.
I would really LOVE to SEE COMMENTS on this post, please. Share with us your seeds and lets us help you grow them to their fullest potential!

Merry meet dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests, welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today
As Mother Earth will be here long after we have entered the Summerland it is important that we at least try to undo some of the damage done to here in centuries past. This is the lasting legacy we can leave to our descendants. When you go for a walk or bike ride take along a trash bag and pick up after those who have disrespected our Monther. I taught this first to my children and now to my grandchildren. I hope my grandchildren pass it on to their children and them to theirs until the day my bloodline is no more somewhere in the very distant future.
If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section. I will try to find some information to post about it.
May your and your family’s lives be filled with all things positive!
Merry part until we merry meet again!
Back to Regular Posting Monday
I woke up with a migraine I can’t shake thanks to a night of nightmares causing really bad sleep thanks to my PTSD. Big Dawg and I were coming home yesterday from serving paperwork and were almost hit head on by a women in a SUV larger than our Compass which trigger my PTSD. My PTSD stems from a few auto accidents in my life including the one that took my dad’s life in 1970. I’ll be back tomorrow to do Monday’s and Tuesday’s posts.
