An Herbal Grimoire – Honeysuckle and Lavender

Believe it or not, most of the herbs in the B’s have Masculine connections.

Goddess Herb Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle has a feminine aspect. It is closely connected to Jupiter and with the element of Earth.
Honeysuckle is widely used in spellcasting for prosperity spells and love charms as well as memory,
healing and power. But there is an honesty aspect connected with this herb. Ensure you are pure and
honest about your intentions when working with this herb, to not insult it.
Honeysuckle can be very potent and lend significant strength to money spells. But remember, when
asking for personal gains, something we should not do, you must be very specific in your intentions. The
energies that this herb will create can be powerful enough to carry you years.

Spellcrafting hint: When working prosperity spells, please be specific and ensure that when requesting
anything from the Universe that you are not asking for personal gain. So, for example, instead of asking
for money to come to you to go on vacation, ask instead, for long lasting and focused prosperity to carry
you and those you love and care for successfully through the future. To lend energy to your efforts and
your strengths to prosper and keep working to fulfill your own destiny.

God Herb Lavender

Lavender has a masculine aspect. It is closely connected with Mercury and the element of Air. Lavender
is an essential herb to have in Spellcasting or Magickal working. Witches have used this particular herb
for centuries. Lavender lends its energies of protection, love, clarity, purification, peace, protection, as
well as visions, clairvoyance, clarity of thought and inner calming.
Lavender is a very powerful herb. Ask this herb to lend its energies, but be careful. This one simple herb
can have a powerful kick! The energies that come from this one plant can bounce through the Universe
and can touch millions to gain exponential strength as it comes back to you threefold.
Spellcasting with this herb to gain insight, or clarity can and will manifest itself as a quest for knowledge,
a quest for understanding. So, while you may be thinking that it will help you to understand something
that you are struggling with, it may not come that way, instead it may come in the form of pushing you
to educate yourself with research and reading. This will then help you to find that clarity as you are now
more knowledgeable.
Remember Witches, the energies that come back to us from the Universe, may not manifest the way we
intended or even the way we think. But please do understand, those energies will come back to you. If
your intentions are pure and honest and are not meant to harm anyone, you will be rewarded beyond
your imagining.

Blessed Be Brothers & Sisters!
Happy Spellcasting!

All Signs

The overall tone of this week is about working together, pooling resources and helping each other. This includes group brainstorming and all aspects of teamwork. In a timely way, this cooperative vibe culminates with Thursday’s New Moon, which happens to line up with fair Venus – ruler of relationships. “But soft! What news from yonder Tinder breaks?” For many this is an opportunity for a new romance! Count on the fact that the seeds that are planted this week can grow into a loving, emotional, compassionate support system with someone. If you want to be adored – be adorable. If you want to be loved – be lovable. Or you can also be yourself and see how your luck holds.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a fabulous week to socialize! You’re friendly and eager to meet new faces and see new places. Try to take a short trip because you’ll love talking to others, especially younger people. Basically, you have a warm feeling in your tummy. You appreciate your surroundings and feel fortunate. Because of your good feelings, people will be drawn to you. You’re also full of clever ideas, which is one reason you might take a class or learn something new. You might write. It’s a strong time for those in sales, marketing, teaching and acting. With Mars in your sign, you have high energy, confidence and optimism! (This sounds like a sales pitch.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have a strong focus on money, cash flow and earnings this week, which is no surprise because you are full of moneymaking ideas! Not only that, you will attract money to you. Because of the circumstances, many of you will shop for something that pleases you – perhaps antiques, collectibles or art. (You have a discerning eye and you’re a collector.) However, at a deeper level, some of you will take some time this week to think about your values. In other words, what really matters in life? What do you want for yourself? Thursday’s New Moon is the perfect time to think about what you want in practical terms and what is really important to you. This matters.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It’s your birthday, which is why you’re raring to go! This week the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and the New Moon on Thursday are all in Gemini. These odds favour you! This is the perfect time to take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you think about the image you create on your world. Should you change something? Shoes? Wardrobe? Hair? Thursday’s New Moon is an excellent time to plan this. Tweak the impression you create! This same New Moon will attract romance and warm relationships to you. New love or new friendships will enrich your life. And with your ruler Mercury in your sign, you’ve got lots to say!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Expect a mix of influences this week. Mars high in your chart indicates that you’re revved up and ambitious! You’re prepared to go after what you want. Nevertheless, five other planets are “hiding”, which means you are the puppetmaster pulling strings from behind the scenes or you’ve decided to sit this one out. Possibly, your focus is turning inward this week as you wonder what is really making things work for you. What areas of your life should you emphasize now? You can sense that this is a time of preparation and that big things await you in about a year. “Patience, Grasshopper.” Bide your time because success is almost within your grasp.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a popular week! Not only will you enjoy the company of younger people, you’ll also be attracted to creative, artistic individuals. (The talents of others can leave you breathless.) The reason this is such a popular time for you is the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and this week’s New Moon are all sitting in your House of Friendships. This will attract new friends into your world. You will also enjoy getting together with old friends and staying in touch. Likewise, it will encourage you to join or be part of groups and organizations. It’s the perfect week to think about your hopes and dreams for the future and how you can bring them from the abstract into the concrete (or bark chips, if you prefer).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is an amazing time for you because there’s a gaggle of planets at the top of your chart – the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and this week, the New Moon! Astrologers refer to the Moon and the Sun as planets because it’s easy. (But we do know better.) This is a very “public,” high-viz influence, which means you look charming, tactful, successful and affluent. However, the New Moon this week offers you an opportunity to think about your life direction and where you’re headed. (This is the only time all year that the New Moon will take place at the top of your chart.) Therefore, take some time to think about what you want for yourself in the future.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You want to expand your world, learn new things and travel to new places. You have that feeling that “surely there’s something exciting that I can do?” If you can’t travel, take day trips and visit museums, art galleries and restaurants. Naturally, these are things you enjoy doing anyway but now you want to shake things up a little to feel you have more adventure in your life. Make an effort to learn and study something new because this is a rewarding time for you to expand your mind. One tiny caveat: fiery Mars is opposite your sign for the next few weeks, which might create tension with partners. Actually, this is a great training opportunity to develop patience.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s interesting that there’s such a strong emphasis in your life right now on high finance, shared property, insurance matters, taxes, debt – and sex. (Nothing casual here – not really.) In addition, fiery Mars is urging you to work hard to accomplish as much as possible. Naturally, there are other things happening for you because nobody is just “one sign” – we’re all an exciting collection of signs. Some people have a wider variety in their chart than others. Nevertheless, from a Scorpio perspective, this is a pretty intense week! This particular New Moon is your opportunity to think about how to use the resources you have, as well as the resources of others, to your best advantage. Ideas?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

How curious that there’s so much planetary energy directly opposite your sign! It’s like the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. (Which, incidentally, actually occurred on October 26, 1881 and lasted one minute.) This week the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and the New Moon are all opposite your sign, which means you’re giving a lot of focus to partnerships and close friendships. No question. Fortunately, because the New Moon is part of this passel of planets, you have an opportunity to see how you can improve these relationships. (Obviously, this means a way to change your own behaviour – not the behaviour of others.) But it will be worth it to get a better result!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re an industrious sign and willing to put up with discomfort to achieve your dreams. “There’s gold in them thar hills!” But it’s important to know when fortune favours you because this is certainly the case this week. Five planets are in your House of Employment, which will rev your engines. The Sun will make you focus on efficiency and effectiveness. You will strive to make every action count. And you’ll derive satisfaction from doing things well. Mercury is an excellent time for mental work. (You won’t ignore details.) Venus will help you relate to coworkers and discuss agreements. Jupiter will improve your job or help you get a better job. And finally, the New Moon is a great chance to think about how to improve your job and your health. Not too shabby.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Lucky you! The majority of planets right now are actually in the most playful part of your chart, which will promote opportunities to travel, enjoy vacations, explore social outings and enjoy the arts, the entertainment world and the creative efforts of others. Children will also be a source of joy and fun for you, along with sports events and playful outings. In addition, you will feel eager to express your own creative energy and talents. On top of this, not only will you be drawn to fun interactions with others and socializing – romance will flourish! Fortunately, you’re confident about making the first move or speaking up. Oh yes, life is interesting.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

While Virgo has a preponderance of planets at the top of their chart, you are just the opposite. Five planets are sitting at the bottom of your chart highlighting your personal world and everything to do with home and family. This is why you’re happy to tackle home repairs, redecorating projects and enjoy increased involvement with parents and family members. Entertain at home! Furthermore, while many of you will look for ways to improve your home, others will think about moving and changing their residence to something they prefer. (This is possible within the next 12 months.) Stock the fridge!

Saturday Source: learnreligions.com

It’s the end of the week for many of us, so Saturday—named for the god Saturn—is a good time to wrap things up. Associated with the colors black and dark purple, and the metal lead, this day is also connected to the goddess Hecate. Gemstones like Apache tear, obsidian, and hematite are all connected to Saturday’s magic, as are plants such as thyme, mullein, and the cypress tree.

When it comes to magical workings, focus on agriculture and creativity, fortune and hope, protection and banishment of negativity. Put up a barrier to keep the unwelcome out, eliminate the things that make you miserable, and wash your hands of anything other than your hopes, dreams, and goals.

Saturdays are best for hard work such as chores around the house, yard or garden work, or work towards other long-term projects and goals. Use this day for any type of cleansing and progress towards discipline practices.

Tarot Card {c. 2017}

Earth Reversed

{Deck this came from is unknown to me}

Earth reversed denotes a lack of positive connection with the life spirit–a lost soul. If you are not careful you may miss much of what life has to offer you.

Rune{c. 2017}

Isa 

“Iss-ah” – Literally: “Ice” – Esoteric: Stasis, Stillness

Divinations: Concentrated self, ego-consciousness, self-control, unity of being; or egomania, dullness, blindness, dissipation, immobility, self-centeredness, lack of change, psychopathy.

Governs:
Development of concentration, will and focus
Halting of unwanted dynamic forces as an act of self-defense (ard against demonic influences)
Basic ego integration within a balanced multiversal system
Power of control and constraint over other wights (entities), emotional outbursts
Focus of the will into single-minded action

Animal Spirit{c.2017}

Mockingbird

Mockingbirds are master imitators, and can mimic the calls of many other birds. They’re also fearless protectors of their nest, and will attack any bird (no matter how large) to protect their young. Mockingbird’s lesson for you today is twofold: to listen to how you might be mimicking others—instead of listening to your own true voice; and to examine the value of what you defend. Hmmm?

Ogham {c. 2018}

 

Fearn-Alder

The third letter of the Ogham alphabet is Fearn it means alder-tree. Alder-bark has been used by many cultures to treat various health problems and disorders, everything from insect bites to tuberculosis.

The key points to remember with alder are confidence, shielding, guidance, and standing up to ones enemies. Just as water stands no chance against alder, your enemies are at a loss when you have the protection of the alder.

WHAT IS WICCA? A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO THE WICCAN RELIGION

What is Wicca? The answer to this question can vary, depending on who you ask, but below you’ll find a general introduction to this fascinating spiritual path.

Wicca is a modern, Earth-centered religion with roots in the ancient practices of our shamanic ancestors. Its practitioners, who call themselves Wiccans, honor the life-giving and life-sustaining powers of Nature through ritual worship and a commitment to living in balance with the Earth. Wicca is technically classified as one of many Pagan religions, though not all Wiccans would identify as Pagans—and plenty who identify as Pagans are not Wiccans.

In truth, Wicca is extremely dynamic and ever-evolving, so it’s difficult to make very many statements about it that every single person identifying as a Wiccan will agree with. However, it’s probably safe to say that when looking at the night sky, or the view from the top of a mountain, or the glassy surface of a lake, most—if not all—Wiccans will feel very much in the presence of the divine. So then, what is Wicca? What does it mean to be a Wiccan? And what are the core religious beliefs?

LIFE CYCLES: THE WICCAN GODDESS AND GOD

The deities of Wicca are the Goddess and the God, who are the feminine and masculine essences of the all-encompassing life force responsible for all of creation, including the cycles of life and death on Earth. Wiccans believe that these deities are multi-fold; in that sense, it is a duotheistic religion, rather than traditionally monotheistic religions like Christianity.

The Goddess is sometimes known as the Triple Goddess, because she is split into three identities, or parts: the Maiden Goddess, the Mother Goddess, and the Crone Goddess. This Maiden, Mother, Crone triad is believed by Wiccans to symbolize the dividing of the year. Springtime, when life is blooming and beauty abounds, is the time of the Maiden goddess, whose youth and energy are worshipped at this time of year. In the summer, where the days are long and happy, the Mother goddess is worshipped for her fertility and maternal skills. And the long autumn and winter are the domain of the Crone, who is not as scary as her name will suggest! Although autumn and winter can be harsh and cold, the seasons traditionally associated with death and decline, Wiccans acknowledge the Crone’s wisdom and the peace that she brings, and during this time of the year, they often rest, soothed by the knowledge that the earth will turn again and restore light and beauty once more.

The God, meanwhile, is known sometimes as the Horned God, sometimes as the Green Man, and other times as the Oak and Holly King. Although that first one might sound a little scary, don’t worry! This iteration of the God has nothing to do with Satanism or devil-worship; rather, the horns represent his masculine virility and connection to nature, as Hellenic forest deities such as Pan were often represented with antlers. Like the Goddess, the God also splits the year: in autumn and winter, he is the Holly King, and in the spring and summertime, the Oak! The connection of Wiccans with nature is therefore very strong, found represented throughout their beliefs and the characteristics of their deities.

The God and Goddess are worshipped at regular intervals throughout the year. Festivals emphasizing the masculine are known as Sabbats. Corresponding with the Earth’s position relative to the Sun, they include Click here to read the rest of this

Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. This September Full Moon will be the forth and final supermoon of 2023.

During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Queen of Pentacles – Minor Arcana Court Card

Traditionally, representing the energy of a Queen, this feminine guardian is endowed with enormous good sense and problem solving energy, but she is not particularly entrepreneurial. She loves to advise, encourage, and empower those she gets involved with, studying their problems with them and setting them up to solve them. Traditionally, she was pictured as the Sibyl or Oracle, perhaps a Tarot reader, who made herself available to people in need, no matter what their social class or situation. In modern times, she will be found educating, healing, managing disaster aid programs or a charitable drive of some sort.
In every case, she does not see the benefits that exist in her life as belonging solely to her. She feels the needs of her people and will spend freely of her time, energy, skills, money to see that nobody is left out. For this, and because she likes to work in an atmosphere of beauty, enjoyment and abundance, she is sometimes accused of being extravagant. But she works hard, and she sees no reason to deny herself the rewards of a job well done. Everyone who comes in contact with her feels enriched by her enjoyment in living.

Hexagram Forty/40

Hsieh / Liberation

A Thunderous Cloudburst shatters the oppressive humidity:
The Superior Person knows the release in forgiveness, pardoning the faults of others and dealing gently with those who sin against him.

It pays to accept things as they are for now.
If there is nothing else to be gained, a return brings good fortune.
If there is something yet to be gained, act on it at once.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

The relief you experience here is not your own personal pardon, but the release of others from your rigid expectations.
Like a hot air balloon, you will rise to new heights as you cast the heavy sandbags of resentments and restrictions away from you.
Feel the lightness of being that results from forgiving others and accepting them as they are.
Free yourself of the endless vigil of policing the behavior of others.
See them for who they are, not what they can or can’t do for you.
