A Thought for Today
If we do a spell or ritual that messes with a person free will we are doing black/dark magick. Remember if you do this it will come back at you three times worse as stated in the Threefold Law also know as The Law of Three. This is against what the Wicce Rede says, “Do as ye will, less it harms none.”
Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Aries.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you might resurrect some ideas that you had before about making money. Now they have greater appeal to you; or you see they are actually doable. Because you’re in a resourceful frame of mind, you might also see new uses for something you already own. Clever!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might be obsessed about something today. It could be about discovering a secret about someone else, or about what’s going on behind the scenes? You might want to dig deeper into your own inner world to determine what really motivates you. Ah yes, “Know thyself.” (At least name and address.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Because your ability to research anything is fabulous today, you will love to persevere in whatever you do, especially if you can learn something new. You will leave no stone unturned. This determination will pay off by yielding results and possibly even secrets. (“Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You might encounter someone powerful today, perhaps a friend or a member of a group to which you belong. Or perhaps, you are the one who is obsessed about a particular idea. Well, maybe it’s worth reconsideration? Keep an open mind so you don’t miss an opportunity to reassess something worthwhile.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A conversation with a parent or a boss (especially someone from your past) will be intense today because both parties want to express their views. Because Mercury is retrograde, this is an excellent time to wrap up old business and see the merits of something that might have been overlooked in the past.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Steer clear of controversial subjects like race, religion and politics because people are intense, even volatile in their views today! They will likely not hear you because there are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones. Tread lightly.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You can get to the bottom of something regarding shared property, inheritances and possible secrets from the past. You might discover the truth about how much someone else owns or earns. This is an excellent day to finish matters related to taxes and debt.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A close friend or partner will have strong views today. Meanwhile, you’re not exactly a wilting, wallflower today yourself. Expect lively discussions to take place where each party is convinced that they are right. (Hey, remember that it’s always possible to learn something new.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You will accomplish a lot at work or in your job today because you are focused, persistent and persevering. You will get the most done if you tackle old business or something that was unfinished because the energy of Mercury retrograde will help you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Romantic clashes with old flames or ex-lovers are likely today because people are opinionated and entrenched in their views. This same influence can show up in sports encounters as well as anything to do with dealing with your kids or children’s activities. Keep it light.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Family discussions will be intense today because everyone has their own ideas about something and they’re going to stick to their views. Nevertheless, this same intense energy can be channeled into getting things done at home, especially tackling home repairs. Try it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might meet someone today who has a great effect upon your mind. They might teach you something because today you can certainly learn something new, especially about the past. You might hear from a neighbour or sibling you haven’t seen for a while. (“Natasha!” “Boris!”)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Cillian Murphy (1976) shares your birthday today. You are pretty cool because you don’t let much bother you. You are relaxed in social situations because you are talkative and witty. Privately, you are surprisingly serious. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to take inventory. Let go of what you don’t need.
May 25, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest
You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.
From Moongiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. 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. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. 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.
Visit the May 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s Waning Crescent Phase
The Waning Crescent on May 25 has an illumination of 23%. 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 May 25 the Moon is 24.87 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.
The 8 Lunar Phases

May 25 Astronomy Picture of the Day
Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
2022 May 25
The Lively Center of the Lagoon Nebula
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing & Copyright: Mehmet Hakan Özsaraç
Explanation: The center of the Lagoon Nebula is a whirlwind of spectacular star formation. Visible near the image center, at least two long funnel-shaped clouds, each roughly half a light-year long, have been formed by extreme stellar winds and intense energetic starlight. A tremendously bright nearby star, Herschel 36, lights the area. Vast walls of dust hide and redden other hot young stars. As energy from these stars pours into the cool dust and gas, large temperature differences in adjoining regions can be created generating shearing winds which may cause the funnels. This picture, spanning about 10 light years, combines images taken in six colors by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The Lagoon Nebula, also known as M8, lies about 5000 light years distant toward the constellation of the Archer (Sagittarius).

Norse Mythology
Norse mythology, the stories of gods and heroes from in and around the Viking Age (c. 790 – c. 1100 CE) in northern Europe, has provided us with some of the most famous figures in world mythology. Here, in this collection, we look at such colourful characters as the wise and one-eyed war god Odin who calls warriors to the halls of Valhalla, red-eyed Thor with his giant thunder-making hammer, and Freyja, the fertility goddess who travels in a cat-drawn carriage. We also examine the literary sources of these stories, the cults of the various gods and consider the wider significance of these strange northern tales.
…archaeological evidence helps hint at personal devotion to specific gods people felt connected to, with accompanying customs and rituals being a standard part of everyday life.
Tips For Teachers & Educators
Mythology tends to be quite a popular topic among students as it appears quite a bit here and there in pop culture. It is usually easier to find ways to engage students than for some other subjects.
Here, the TV series Vikings will help you, as it is usually known (and liked!) by a fair amount of students.
A few things we want to point out, regarding this collection: …

A Thought for Today
Listen to your intuition as it can be your spirit guides or animals telling you something important.
Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.
May 24, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 5 PM to 6 PM EDT today (2 PM to 3 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a red-letter day for you because your ruler Mars enters your sign today for the first time since 2020. Meanwhile, the Moon is in your sign lined up with lucky Jupiter in your sign; plus, Venus in your sign is dancing with Saturn. (Gasp!) A fabulous day for serious planning!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You will make great strides today if you deal with old business that you have been trying to finish. Help from an unexpected (or even hidden) source is likely. Please listen to bosses and authority figures because their assistance will be valuable. After all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Friends and members of groups to which you belong will be a tremendous help to you today. Listen to what others have to say, especially if what they say might affect your future goals. Teamwork, including something involving competition will rev your engines! Note: Play by the rules.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You can accomplish a lot today because you’re ambitious; furthermore, people notice you. In fact, bosses and people in power are ready to help you. This is a strong day to negotiate issues about shared property or insurance. Meanwhile, relations with a boss are cozy.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Choose today to make travel plans because everything will fall in place quite easily. Likewise, this same favourable influence will help those of you dealing with issues related to college and higher education. Ask for what you want. Study, explore and research because doors will open for you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is an excellent day to deal with banks and financial institutions because you will come out smelling like a rose. Expect gifts, favours, inheritances and possibly money from the government. In fact, it’s a strong day for any kind of financial negotiations with others because you are blessed!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Conversations with partners and close friends, as well as members of the general public, will be warm and friendly today. Nevertheless, because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you might have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. (This is no biggie.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Relations with coworkers will be friendly and mutually beneficial today. This will be a productive day for you because you will be happy doing whatever task you set for yourself. Work-related travel is likely for some. Those who work at home can improve their surroundings.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Enjoy socializing today! Accept all invitations. Take a long lunch. Enjoy the arts and the entertainment world. Sports events and fun activities with children will also please you. Needless to say, this is an excellent date day because romance will sizzle!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You will enjoy entertaining at home today. This is also an excellent day to explore real-estate deals or speculation. Many of you will make excellent headway with redecorating projects or renovations. Discussions with a female relative will be positive.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The power of positive thinking is a fact. Your attitude will always colour how you interpret and see events around you. Today you have a strong, positive attitude, which is why conversations with others are upbeat, friendly and productive. (You will also appreciate your daily surroundings.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a great day for business and commercial activity. Financial negotiations will go well. Respect your moneymaking ideas; in turn, you will want to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. If shopping, check Moon Alert. (See above.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Will Sasso (1975) shares your birthday today. You have strong opinions and strong boundaries. You don’t hesitate to share your ideas. You have excellent business savvy; but you are sometimes firmly entrenched in your views. Good news! This year you will receive increased acknowledgement, public awareness, promotions and awards. Your efforts are recognized!

A Deep Sky Behind an Eclipsed Moon
Image Credit & Copyright: Andrei Ionut Dascalu
Explanation: The plan was to capture a picturesque part of the sky that was hosting an unusual guest. The result included a bonus — an additional and unexpected guest. The beautiful background features part of the central band of our Milky Way galaxy on the far left, and the colorful clouds of Rho Ophiuchi in the image center. The unusual guest, a dimmed and reddened Moon on the right, was expected because the image was taken during last week’s total lunar eclipse. The timing had to be right because the Moon — both before and after eclipse — would be so bright it would overwhelm the background. The unexpected guest was the bright meteor across the image center. The fleeting meteor streak was captured on only one of the 10 consecutively-captured deep-field images from La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands, while the eclipsed Moon image was taken immediately afterwards with the same camera and from the same location. The next total lunar eclipse — also quite expected — will occur in early November.

A Thought for Today
Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.
May 23, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest
Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes
Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Pisces.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a wonderful day to reach out to daily contacts, siblings, relatives and work to tie up loose ends. People will listen to you because you are vigourous and motivated. “Ten-shun!” It’s time to deal with old business and financial matters.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You begin this week in a strong, empowered way because retrograde Mercury is in your sign getting a boost from fiery Mars. This means even if you’re swamped with errors, delays and confusion (and people from your past), today you are authoritative and confident.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a great day to do research because you won’t stop until you find what you’re looking for. (Oh yeah, you’ll be like a dog with a bone.) Search for hidden answers and tough solutions to old problems. Expect success or at least, good progress.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your involvement with younger people will be strong and energetic today. You might act this way or you might encounter someone who acts this way. This is an excellent day to review past goals and ponder their relevance to your current world.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Conversations with parents, bosses, teachers and the police will be lively today. When others speak, they will mean business. However, when you speak you will mean business as well! Use this energy to finish something that has been left undone. Just do it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a wonderful day to study and learn something new because you have lots of mental energy. You can also apply this strong focus to legal matters that have been lingering, or something to do with a medical situation. You will make great progress!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You can start this week by getting rid of old business connected with taxes, debt, insurance issues and anything to do with shared property – all that red-tape stuff you’ve been trying to ignore. The secret is that today it will be easy to plow through these details. You will be energetic and productive!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A feisty discussion with an ex-partner or old friend might take place today. If so, you’ll have no trouble holding your own ground. The thing to remember is not to say anything that you will later regret. Note: Issues that are job-related will strongly favour you now.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Roll up your sleeves and get busy today because you will make great headway at work, or in your job, or tackling any task that you want to get done, especially something that you’ve been putting off. This is because today you are motivated and you have the energy to work hard. Use this to accomplish things!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is the perfect day to tackle creative, artistic projects that you’ve been meaning to get to. Now you can finish that masterpiece, patchwork quilt, painted table, manuscript or whatever it is you’ve been working on. This is because you have an eager willingness to do this today. Do it now!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You’ll be encouraged by how much you get done puttering around your own doing home repairs and catching up on old business that has been bugging you. Finally! You’re back in action. If old friends or relatives are parked on the sofa – let them help you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Group discussions and conversations with others will be dynamic and alive today because you’re ready to say what you mean and mean what you say! It’s also a good time for intellectual activities, especially exploring the past and wrapping up old business.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Filmmaker Ryan Coogler (1986) shares your birthday today. You are a hard-working perfectionist who has excellent communication skills. Nevertheless, you are fun-loving and good-natured. You have a good sense of humour. Welcome moments of solitude this year because this is a year of reflection for you. You might explore your spiritual or religious beliefs. Ironically, your time alone will draw people to you.

The Once and Future Stars of Andromeda
Image Credit: NASA, NSF, NOAJ, Hubble, Subaru, Mayall, DSS, Spitzer; Processing & Copyright: Robert Gendler & Russell Croman
Explanation: This picture of Andromeda shows not only where stars are now, but where stars will soon be. Of course, the big, beautiful Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is a spiral galaxy — and a mere 2.5 million light-years away. Both space-based and ground-based observatories have been here combined to produce this intriguing composite image of Andromeda, at wavelengths both inside and outside normally visible light. The visible light shows where M31’s stars are now — as highlighted in white and blue hues and imaged by the Hubble, Subaru, and Mayall telescopes. The infrared light shows where M31’s future stars will soon form — as highlighted in orange hues and imaged by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. The infrared light tracks enormous lanes of dust, warmed by stars, sweeping along Andromeda’s spiral arms. This dust is a tracer of the galaxy’s vast interstellar gas — the raw material for future star formation. These new stars will likely form over the next hundred million years, surely well before Andromeda merges with our Milky Way Galaxy in about 5 billion years.
