All Signs

This is a busy, productive week with the exception of perhaps Tuesday, which is a bit of a dreamy day. Nevertheless, this week, we will get things done! On Thursday, we have the Winter Solstice, which is the longest night of the year. On that evening, (in North America) the Sun will enter Capricorn to stay for the next four weeks. In addition to this being a productive week, it will also be a interactive week personally and professionally. It’s a great time for family and friends to get together to relax and socialize. Take time to enjoy moments with loved ones. Meanwhile, I’m sure we can all agree that the three phrases that sum up the holiday season will be: “Peace on Earth,” “Goodwill to All,” and “Batteries Not Included.” Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be at the top of your chart. This can happen only once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that the Sun is casting you in a special spotlight. Furthermore, this spotlight is flattering! This is why others (especially bosses, parents and VIPs) will admire you, even if you don’t do anything special. (It’s all smoke and mirrors.) Obviously, you have an advantage during this window of time, which means you should use it! Go after what you want. In particular, resurrect ideas that you tried to fly before but they were rejected. With Mercury retrograde at the top of your chart – this time someone might listen. Fingers crossed!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

During the Winter Solstice this week, the Sun will enter the part of your chart that focuses on travel, legal matters, medicine, publishing, the media and higher education. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is sitting there as well. Therefore, do what you can to expand your world and get a change of scenery in the next four weeks. However, be smart and return to places you have visited before. This is the perfect month to finish important papers, manuscripts or a book. It’s also a great time to wrap up medical and legal matters. Disputes about shared property and inheritances might be happening. Fortunately, Venus opposite your sign will benefit you and sweeten these negotiations.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Tread carefully this week because with Mars opposite your sign, you might be a tad impatient with others (especially if they’re annoying). Fortunately, relations with coworkers will be excellent. In addition, the next several weeks are the perfect time to wrap up loose details about shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and anything that you own jointly with someone else. Take the high road if relationships are challenging at this time. Be encouraged to know that for the first time in 12 years, lucky Jupiter will enter your sign in late May to stay for a whole year! How great is that? (We’re talking serious horseshoes!) Knowing that you will be so favoured next year — this week, you can cut others some slack.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a busy and social week for you! You’ll have no trouble juggling everything because you’re revved up with energy. (You will even delegate to others.) Venus is travelling through the part of your chart that encourages vacations, socializing, fun outings, playful activities with kids, sports and party times with everyone! (Lucky you.) Meanwhile, on Thursday, during the Winter Solstice (the longest night of year), the Sun will move opposite your sign to stay for the next four weeks. This means you will need more rest in the next four weeks. (Respect your need for this.) Ex-partners and old friends will be back in your world! (Gulp.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a busy, productive week for you. In particular, it’s a perfect time to finish old business and wrap up whatever is already on your plate. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde might send you a few zingers, which create misunderstandings, misplaced items and delays. (It was ever thus.) However, Venus and Mars are cooperating beautifully for this holiday season for you. Venus will encourage entertaining at home as well as redecorating your home. Mars will highlight competitive sports, romantic outings and fun-loving activities. One tiny caveat: You will have to be patient with kids. (That goes with the territory.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week you’re dealing with some kind of increased activity and chaos at home. This might be due to residential moves, redecorating projects, renovations or visiting guests. Admittedly, this is also a crazy time of year when everyone is juggling too much! Take a deep breath. Resolve to do whatever you can to keep the peace at home because that is what is most important. The future is going to unfold in a playful, lovely way for you so you can relax. In fact, the next four weeks will be fun-loving, lighthearted and full of opportunities to socialize, enjoy sports events, fun kids’ activities and perhaps get away on a vacation. Romance will sizzle! (It’s all good.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Fortunately, you have lots of drive and energy to deal with the demands of the holiday season. This is because fiery Mars is in the part of your chart that highlights communications and daily activities. Not only are you energized (as you deal with life at an accelerated daily pace) – gasp — you’re forthright and direct in all your communications. (Oh yeah, you’re in charge!) Fortunately, despite the fact that you’re buying pretty things for yourself and others, money is coming to you. (“A relief!”) Meanwhile, this week triggers a four-week window where home, family and your private life will be your primary focus. Some of you will be more involved with a parent. Expect to see family you haven’t talked to for a long time.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is an excellent week, despite the challenge of Mercury retrograde in your House of Communications and daily activities. Oh yes, Mercury retrograde causes car problems, missed buses, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and goofy mistakes. (But nothing you can’t handle.) Remember – you’re a powerful Scorpio! Meanwhile, with Venus in your sign, you’re charming and diplomatic with everyone. You look fabulous, which is why this is an excellent time to buy wardrobe treasures for yourself. (You will do this because with Mars in your Money House, you’re working hard to make money as well as spend it.) Treat yourself because the next four weeks will be busy, fast-paced and full of faces from the past.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Some of you are humming, “It’s beginning to cost a lot like Christmas.” This is because starting this week, specifically, on Thursday night, the longest night of the year, you will enter a four-week window where your focus on earnings, cash flow and your possessions will become stronger. You’ll be full of moneymaking ideas and will no doubt have financial discussions with others. Please note that at the moment due to Mercury retrograde taking place in your Money House, your best bet will be to resurrect something that didn’t fly before. Try it again! With fiery Mars in your sign, you’re energized. I recommend physical, outdoor exercise to blow off any extra pent-up steam within you. Go, go, go!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week on the Winter Solstice, the Sun will enter your sign to stay for the next four weeks, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. Furthermore, this solar energy will attract people to you as well as favourable situations. Oh yes, you will shine! Admittedly, Mercury retrograde is taking place in your sign, which means you’re challenged by goofy errors, delays, car problems, items late in the mail and mixed-up communications with others. And of course, ex-partners are back on the scene. (Or in your dreams.) Fortunately, fair Venus is in your House of Friendships paving the way for warm interactions with friends and groups. Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because your birthday is just a month away, this means your personal year is coming to an end. This also means that in the next four weeks, you have the perfect opportunity to ponder, meditate, cogitate and ruminate profound thoughts. (As the inventor of the zodiac, you’re full of original ideas.) At this time in your life, you’re trying to figure out how to organize all your stuff – your belongings and your assets. You also have wonderful opportunities to improve where you live or move to a better place. Right now, Venus is at the top of your chart sweetening all your relations with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. Take some time to think about what you want for your new year ahead. Ideas?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a lovely week for you because it’s a holiday time, and people are out to-ing and fro-ing, and this perfectly dovetails with what’s happening in your chart. In other words, this week, the Sun moves into your House of Friendships, activating that part of your life, thereby attracting friends into your world. You will also find yourself more involved with clubs, groups and organizations. In particular, you will meet friends and colleagues from the past that you haven’t seen for a while. Meanwhile, your ambition is aroused now, so you will go after what you want. And one of the things you want to do is travel! Bon voyage!

Pages 110 and 111

Queen of Swords – Court Card

Learning lessons; manipulation

The Queen of Swords is a mature woman who walks through a pit of fire with confidence. Although the flames flare around her on all sides, her face is calm, her eyes straight ahead. She has learned that life offers both positive and negative learning experiences and that one becomes stronger by refusing to give in to fear an despair. In one hand she carries a raised sword, while the other rests on the head of a Fire dragon who is mostly hidden behind her and from whose mouth issues more flames. The sword represents the Queen’s faith in her ability to fight her way through any adversity, while the huge dragon-companion symbolizes astral and spiritual teachers who are always beside us, not to impede our progress by making life to smooth, but to guide our steps through any “trial” to safety. The Queen wears a crown with a triangular-shaped, red stone in front, symbolic of her connectedness with both the Goddess and her own feminine power. Three little Fire dragons frolic in the flames, encouraging her to continue her path.

Divinatory Meaning: This card indicates a powerful feminine influence. You will be faced with with a period in your life that makes you learns an important lesson you have avoided. Be careful getting your way in something through manipulation, for later this action will come back to haunt you.

UILLEAN

Ui (sometimes interpreted as Pe) is Uillean, the Honeysuckle. Associated with the manifestation of will, the Honeysuckle starts as a small seed and creeps along, growing and spreading over time. Honeysuckle twists and spirals up and over its surroundings, its soft yellow flowers releasing a sweet scent. It is the flower of unspoken desire, hidden needs, secret wants, but it also represents our goals of finding our true Self.

From a medicinal standpoint, the honeysuckle can be useful as well. Dioscorides says,

“the ripe seed gathered and dried in the shadow and drunk for four days together, doth waste and consume away the hardness of the spleen and removeth wearisomeness, helpeth the shortness and difficulty of breathing, cureth the hicket (hiccough), etc. A syrup made of the flowers is good to be drunk against diseases of the lungs and spleen.”

Uillean Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means you need to allow yourself the freedom to pursue your desire. If you’ve got hopes or dreams that are unattained, now is your time to start considering whether they’re remain just dreams, or become reality. Denying yourself the chance to enjoy life is unfair.

Magical Aspects: Take the time to experience joy, but make sure you stay true to your values and beliefs as well. In many Wiccan traditions, the Charge of the Goddess is quoted as a reminder of this: All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Another aspect of this symbol is that sometimes, mysteries which seem to be hidden may not be as hard to delve into as you think–sometimes, you’ve just been sidetracked by distractions.

Hexagram Eight/8

Name: Pi.

Keyphrase: Union.

Formed By The Trigrams: Water over Earth.

General: A community bound by goodwill is the most potent force for powerful positive change there is.

Love: Use goodwill and trust to achieve unity within your relationship.

Business: Strengthen networks within your business and ties with networks your business is a part of.

Personal: Form or strengthen ties with family and friends.

Overview: Pi relates to the need for unity to accomplish positive change. Relationships built on trust and goodwill should be formed and maintained for the benefit of all – not just for personal gain. This applies to not only family and friends but the community around you in general and your business community too.

Eight

The 8 creates a balance between the material and spiritual worlds.

At its best, it is as spiritual as it is materialistic. The sacred side of the 8 is practical, rational, and intelligent. It knows the difference between make-believe and genuine realization.

On the material plane, it is focused on results – often in the form of money – yet it doesn’t care about acquiring wealth merely for the sake of being wealthy. It is not greedy; it sees money as a tool not an end-result. It is generous and willing to take risks.

As with all single-digit numbers, the 8 has a positive and a negative side.

One mystery of Numerology is that there is a small number of people who, from an early age on and for no discernible reason, seem to turn the opposite direction of what their charts indicate. “Seem” is the keyword here. This phenomenon is found with all numbers, but it appears to affect 8s more than others. There are quite a few people whose charts are dominated by 8s that become priests, missionaries, humanitarians, and so forth. However, even those selfless, loving individuals tend to be skilled in fundraising, money management, and authority.

Northern Hemisphere

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Card 1

Cause

Your social life may be taking over if you’ve drawn the Hermit in this first position. It’s great to be busy, but you’re redefining the term to extremes with all you’ve got going on! This card urges you to spend a little more time alone, contemplating where you’ve been in your life and where you’re headed next. Like the lantern on the card, you’re in for some serious illumination if you’re willing to fly solo for a while. Your friends will understand.

Remedy

The Chariot placed in this position asks that you consider a more assertive approach in the situation at hand. In order to build momentum in your life, get two tall orange candles, and place them on an altar (a mantle, table, or shelf works). As you light the candles, picture yourself moving through any blocks that may be present in this situation. See yourself achieving all your goals and dreams with ease. Repeat this ritual as necessary until you find success with all your endeavors.

Growth, new beginnings, fertility, prosperity, solar magic, god

When this witches rune pops up in a reading, I typically smile. The sun means different things to different people; however, the fact that it sustains the planet also means it sustains our lives and brings an abundance of good things. Also linked to our solar plexus, vitality, health and self confidence.

A Thought for Today to Honor My Mom

M If not for my Christian mom believing in more than Christianity teaches I probably wouldn’t be the pagan I am today. When my ability surfaced at about 3-years-old to talk to and see spirits my mom took it in stride as she was a spirit talker also and never denied her ability to do this even when she got in big trouble from her parents growing up.

Today would have been her 88th birthday in this lifetime but she crossed the veil on August 24, 2015. She also believed in reincarnation so when her spirit is ready to incarnated again she will. There is still not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her both the good times and bad. My mom knew what unconditional love was and showed it to me time and time again. Did I fully appreciate her when she still walked this earth? No but with us being able to still communicate I have the chance to tell her all things I should of when she was on this plane with me. I very strongly suggest if your parents are still here with you that you make it a point to talk to them, thank them for helping you become the person you are today, and anything else you’ve wanted to tell them but haven’t. If they are across the veil you can still thank them and say everything you didn’t get a chance to when they walked with you.

Happy birthday my beautiful, opened heart and mind Mom!!! Thank you for always having my back and loving me know matter what I put you through good and bad. I love and miss you.

Khonsu lost to Thoth and then he gave away enough moonlight to create 5 additional days so Nut could give birth to her five children.

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.

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.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, December 10 to Saturday, December 16, 2023

All Signs

Mercury has been slowing down for the last week, and this week on Wednesday, it becomes officially retrograde until January 1. Be smart and avoid shopping for vehicles, computers and cell phones. Ideally, avoid these major purchases until January 23, which is when Mercury finally catches up to the degree it was at when it first went retrograde. Admittedly, this is bad timing for holiday shoppers. However, it’s an excellent time to get in touch with old friends, family and colleagues who might have dropped off the radar. The New Moon on Tuesday might even trigger a new involvement with someone interesting and cozy. In fact, this is a good week to engage. Make an effort to make contact with someone. Of course, money can’t buy friends — but it will always get you a better class of enemies.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This continues to be a time when you want to get outta Dodge and travel anywhere for a change of scenery. After all, who loves adventure more than you? (Probably a Sagittarius.) Venus is in one of your Money Houses, which is good news! This means gifts, goodies and possibly cash will come your way. We like! (Money is so handy when you want to buy things.) Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde begins this week, and it takes place at the top of your chart, which means you will encounter authority figures from your past – parents, bosses, maybe even the police. Expect to run into or hear from someone, whom hopefully, you’re glad to see. (Is the posse after you?)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac and right now two planets are in one of your Money Houses. You might encounter disputes with someone about shared property, taxes, debt, insurance issues or how to divide something like an inheritance. Fortunately, Venus in your House of Relationships, will make your dealings with friends and partners smooth and pleasant. You’re the epitome of charm! This week, Mercury retrograde begins in your Ninth House, which indicates travel restrictions and travel delays. Likewise, you might suffer from restrictions or delays with schools, legal matters or even something to do with medicine. (Some appointments take forever.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Remember that you need more sleep right now because the Sun is as far away from you as it can get all year. (In your chart, that’s about 6 inches.) Plus, fiery Mars is also opposite your sign, which means it’s easy to feel annoyed with others. But here’s the upside: Patience is a precious virtue. Someone who is annoying is actually an opportunity for you to practice patience. (You can’t learn to be patient when everything is great. You need to be provoked!) This is why someone close to you who is annoying is actually giving you a great opportunity. (Yeah, yeah, a positive spin – but true!) Fortunately, Mercury retrograde will help you settle disputes about inheritances, shared property, insurance issues and all that red-tape stuff. Finally!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re busting your buns working hard this week. Of course, you will accomplish a lot because you’re putting out so much effort. (You might be a tad bossy while doing so, as well.) Nevertheless, you’re also partying! Romantic opportunities exist. Accept invitations to socialize with others. Enjoy sports events, movies, the theatre, musical performances and fun activities with kids. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde begins this week directly opposite your sign in your House of Partnerships. This means you will hear from or run into an old friend or ex-partner or spouse. (Look good because living well is the best revenge.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s still play city for you! (Yay me!) Now is your chance to feel free to enjoy yourself and do your own thing. You want to set your own priorities. You want to be amused and entertained. Get out to see sports events, movies, the theatre and musical performances. Go out for dinner or get away on a vacation. You will also have a greater involvement with your kids. Relationships will be more lighthearted. It’s a fun time! Admittedly, Mercury retrograde takes place in your House of Employment, which will trigger delays, goofy mistakes, equipment glitches, misplaced paperwork and late deliveries. Grin and bear it. Be smart and finish things ahead of time to give yourself wiggle room to deal with the unexpected.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home and family continue to be your primary focus. In part, this is because some kind of chaos or increased activity on the home front demand your attention. This might also be due to residential moves, renovations, redecorating projects or visiting guests. Possibly a new pet. Fortunately, you will be gracious about whatever you’re dealing with because fair Venus is in your House of Communications softening your words and helping you to speak with dulcet tones to those who might be driving you crazy. This week Mercury goes retrograde in a part of your chart that deals with romance, the entertainment world, sports and children. Expect to run into an old flame. Even in a dream.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your fast pace continues because you’ve got errands, appointments, people to see plus increased reading, writing and studying. Not only that, you’ll be forthright with your opinions! Although you are generally a diplomat, at this time, you will say what you mean and mean what you say. (Good for sales, marketing, teaching and acting.) You’re persuasive! You might attract money to you. You certainly will spend money on beautiful things. Meanwhile Mercury goes retrograde in your Fourth House of Home and Family, which means you will see family members you haven’t seen for a while. Stock the fridge because relatives might be camped on your doorstep.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is the perfect week to shop for wardrobe goodies because you will like what you see in the mirror. It’s also a great time to schmooze with others because you’re charming and diplomatic. Meanwhile, you’re keen to work hard to earn money, which is good because you’re spending it! Take note that this week (and most of this month), Mercury will be retrograde in your Third House, the part of your chart where Mercury “lives.” This guarantees transportation problems, transportation delays, missed buses, stalled vehicles, as well as mixed-up communications, missed appointments and maddening, goofy, silly mistakes. Take this in your stride. Mostly, it’s small stuff. (I hate having a flat tire.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are lucky to have the Sun in your sign boosting your energy and confidence. Meanwhile, Mars in your sign makes you forthright and possibly bossy. (Well, you are honest and even blunt because you tell it like it is.) With Mars in your sign, you’re much more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. Not only will you defend yourself, you will defend others. Your physical energy level is high, which means you’re getting a lot done. It’s a positive time for you. However, Mercury retrograde begins this week in one of your Money Houses, possibly creating delays. Cheques in the mail will be late. You might misplace items. Be careful that you don’t lose money or possessions. Keep your eyes open.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Because your personal year is ending, you feel you want to hide. This is why you will prefer to work alone or behind the scenes. Nevertheless, Venus is currently in your House of Friendships making this a great time to have a party or to enjoy groups of friends. People will be more loving and affectionate with each other. Any kind of group setting, whether it’s social or a business conference, will be agreeable now. This week Mercury goes retrograde in your sign! (Oh my.) This will create delays, misplaced items, missed appointments and goofy mistakes. But it will also attract ex-partners and old friends back into your world. Cope as best you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are someone who values friendships; and right now, the Sun and Mars are in your House of Friendships. This is why your focus on groups; and friendships will particularly important. You might examine the role that certain friends or groups play in your life. (“Are these my people?”) Your idealism is also aroused, which is why you might be attracted to charitable organizations. Competition with friends and groups is also likely due to Mars. Fear not — you look wonderful to everyone because fair Venus is at the top of your chart making you attractive and charming. Meanwhile, Mercury goes retrograde this week, which bodes well for any effort to do research. Dig in! You will shine!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The Sun continues to be at high noon in your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight, which is why you look great to everyone. (It’s smoke and mirrors.) Use this to your advantage! You also feel ambitious about going after what you want, which is a good thing. Meanwhile, travel, especially travel for fun and pleasure will totally appeal to you now. Grab every chance to get out of town. This week Mercury goes retrograde in your House. Friendships, which guarantees that you will see people from your past – old friends or members of groups – which gives you an opportunity to rekindle old relationships. Because you are particularly optimistic now, people will be attracted to you. Enjoy this blessing!

Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

Southern Hemisphere

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.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on December 11 has an illumination of 3%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On December 11 the Moon is 27.99 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Eclipse Will Be Visible to Millions on Tuesday—Here’s How to See It

One of the night sky’s brightest stars will be eclipsed by the asteroid Leona late Monday into early Tuesday.

Millions of people around the world may be able to witness a rare eclipse on Tuesday, December 12. Betelgeuse, one of the biggest and brightest stars, will briefly disappear from the night sky as an asteroid passes in front of it to create a once-in-a-lifetime eclipse, according astronomer Gianluca Masi, founder of the Virtual Telescope Project.

Betelgeuse is a blazing red supergiant in the constellation Orion. A supergiant is the term given to stars nearing the end of their lives. They are the largest stars in the universe because they puff up and expand out into space in their old age, according to NASA. The large star will be eclipsed by the asteroid Leona, which orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt.

A Thought for Today

I felt the need to update you on how coven and I are doing. Myself I got my first full night’s sleep since the revelations of last weekend concerning a former heart daughter/adept apprentice/coven member real personality bomb went off. Sorry I don’t have a better word to describe what her betrayal felt like. The others in the coven have their only feelings about everything and I will not speak for them or break the confidence they have in me as their High Priestess by speaking out of turn. We all are upset over having to take her young daughter out of the coven also but for everyone’s safety we cannot let the mother have any way to contact or reach us after we banish her. Personally, I am hoping that after the daughter moves out (at least 5-years away) that she contacts me again to continue her training as a white or slightly light gray witch. 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Let’s go back approximately 18 months ago when the women first contacted me. She sent me an email about how her former HP treated her which from what she said I thought the woman didn’t deserve to be a HP. I have sent an apology to her via the universe as I realized everything my former student was either outright lies or greatly altered to fit the former students agenda. I am sure she will be saying the same things about me now all negative and that’s ok as I know who I am deep inside from shadow work and meditations to check where my spirit and heart are at. She is also an energy vampire which I think I mentioned before and was trying to drain me dry. She probably would have succeeded if not for a very strong healer, who happens to be my second cousin, didn’t keep cleaning sludge and dark entities off of me almost weekly. I owe my cousin a life debt that I hope I never have to pay because it would mean she was in mortal danger.

Many, many years ago when I was a teenager, I was in a very dark coven for 2 years, I am not proud of this after learning how wrong I was in some spells I cast and coven rituals I took part in. I now know I needed the experience in my life so I can hopefully see the signs in witches that come to me to apprentice them. But I definitely fell down with this person after I finally took the time and spent the energy to do a full body, inside and out, reading on her I could see the glamours and shields she had done so she appeared as a somewhat helpless women that just wanted someone to understand and support her. There are so much more signs that I choose to ignore including not listening to my Spirit Guides and Ancestors, but I will not bore you with them.

The reason I am going into any detail with what happened between this woman and myself is to warn everyone reading this to LISTEN to your Spirit Guides and Ancestors because I can tell you from experience that they will never steer you wrong. Their main job, at least in my life, is to keep a person safe and on their true-life path. This is something I really need to remember it’ll keep me away from this type of person in the future! This is the second energy vampire I have had to deal with since I started my online witchcraft school and coven in 2014. At that time all the red flags were there, and my Spirit Guides and Ancestors tried to get me to listen to keep me from being drained but I didn’t listen.

I will be back hopefully on Monday doing all the regular daily posts as Sunday there is a coven gathering to not only banish this woman from the coven but from all our lives as well. The daughter will be banished also but with a clause that she can contact myself only after she turns 18-years-old and no longer lives in her mother’s home unless she follows a dark path also.

Thank you all for your kind words and support during this rough patch in mine and my coven’s lives!
