How To Create Protection

 

Without a doubt, there are situations in our lives that cause anxiety. This is something we must “pick apart” in order to find it’s roots. There may be one or two things that are not allowing your mind to be free. Write them down.

Look at them on paper. Send them to me if you like (we can look at them together). Be honest with yourself when you write them out. Go with your immediate intuition. Fears have a tendency to dissolve when we are looking them face on.

Re-balance. As a holistic individual, you know that our bodies are continuously in a state of re-balancing itself. This is how we function. This is how we grow. By holding on to a fear, we are not allowing this processes (your intuitive state) to flow freely. This block can be the cause of a much bigger problem.

Letting go. By giving this fear up to the universe to handle, you are essentially allowing yourself to release this fear, and in turn strip away any kind of meaning or significance it may have upon you. By letting go, this allows us to move to the next level in our lives. The next natural process. Often times, this is a fear in itself.

The fear of “what will happen when I DO move to my next stage in life?” Let your guard down. Let it go. This is not a fear. This is a great journey. Allow yourself to follow it.

“The best protection any woman can have . . . is courage.” – Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Adonia

Adonia

 

July 19th celebrated the Adonia, in honor of Adonis, whose name means “my lord.” Around 1000 B.C., Adonis replaced the earlier Greek vegetation Gods and was then espoused to the beautiful Aphrodite. It was on this day in ancient times that their marriage was celebrated with great jubilation and revelry.

Adonis was born from a tree into which his mother had been transformed. He was put into a box and given to Persephone, the Goddess of the Underworld, who agreed not to open the box. But she did open the box, and then would not let Adonis return to the earth. A conflict ensued and Zeus finally stepped in to rectify the situation by proclaiming that Adonis would spend half of the year in the Underworld and the Other half on the earthly plane.

Sunday is Ruled by the Sun

 

Sunday corresponds to the sun, our closest star. This day is full of wonder and all sorts of magical potential for success, wealth, and fame. Sundays are for personal achievements of any kind such as working towards a promotion at your job, seeking fame and wealth, or being acknowledged for a job well done. All of these goals fall under the golden influence of the sun. Some suggestions for Sunday enchantments would include:

Sitting outside at sunrise and calling on the goddess Brigid for illumination and inspiration

Wearing gold jewelry or clothing that is gold or sunshine yellow to pull some color magic into your life

Arranging a few sunflowers in a vase and empowering these “flowers of the sun” for fame and ambition

Gathering up the common marigold flower and scattering it’s petals about to encourage prosperity

Baking up a batch of cinnamon rolls for the family and enchanting them for health and success

Snacking on a solar fruit, the orange, and enjoying the magical boost it brings to your life

Hereditary Witchcraft

 

One who can trace the Craft through their family tree and who has been taught the Old Religion by a relative who was living at the same time. Channeling doesn’t count. How far one has to go back on the family tree to meet the conditions of the first part of this definition is debatable. Family Trades (another name for Hereditary Witches) occasionally adopt individuals into their dynasty. This decision is never a light one, and usually stems from the lack of offspring to carry on the line, or the high regard they hold for the person in question. The ceremony is intricate and important. After all, it is not every day you can pick your relatives! It is much like the marriage of an individual into a family.

The Witches Correspondences for Sunday, July 19th

 

Sunday (day of the sun)

Planet: Sun

Colors: Gold, Orange

Crystals: Diamond, Amber, Tigers Eye, Carnelian, Sunstone, Topaz, Gold

Aroma: Cedar, Frankincense, Sun Oil, Lemon Herb: St. Johns Wort

Traditionally the first day of the week and ruled by the Sun, it personified as Helios, Apollo, Lugh, and Beli or Bel. In some traditions, the sun is seen as feminine, personified as Phoebe (East Anglia), and Saule (eastern Europe).

The Sun rules the conscious element of the human mind, the ego, the “real” self.” Sunday is the day on which this power is most effective.

Magical aspects: protection, healing, spirituality, and strength.

Sunday is the perfect day for the magic of Fatherhood. A father wishing to cast a spell for his children might want to try a little prayer on a Sunday. However it is probably wiser to cast on a Monday if the idea is to conceive. Sunday is also the day for social and political furtherment, so try going out to see some friends on a Sunday or just mingle.

This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving exorcism, healing, prosperity, individuality, hope, fortune, work, power, promotions, strength, spirituality, swift change, and God rituals.

Celtic Wicca

 

The use of a Celtic/Druidic pantheon mixed with a little ritual Gardnerian, and heavily stressing the elements, nature and the Ancient Ones. They had a vast knowledge of and respect for the healing and magickal qualities of plants and stones, flowers, trees, elemental spirits, the little people, gnomes and fairies.

British Wicca

 

A mix of Celtic and Gardenarian beliefs. Most famous organization at this time is the International Red Garters. British Traditionals move mostly from within the Farrar studies (the famous Witch husband and wife from England.) They too are fairly structured in their beliefs, and train through the degree process. Their covens are also co-ed.

Sunday


Dragon Comments & Graphics

Sunday

 

Ruler: Sun

Colors: Gold or yellow

Power Hours: Sunrise and sunset.

Key Words: Love, happiness, health, wealth

It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. Sunday is the day of the sun. Community work, volunteer services, exercise, outdoor sports, buying, selling, speculating, meeting people, anything involving groups, running fairs and raffles, growing crops and taking care of all health matters fall under the influence of the Sun. With all this activity and the brightness of the sun, it’s easy to see why the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Michael is the primary angel of Sunday but each hour of this day also has it’s secondary angel. These angels are Michael (first hour), Anael (second hour), Raphael (third hour), Gabril (fourth hour), Cassiel (fifth hour), Sachiel (sixth hour), Samael (seventh hour), Michael (eighth hour), Anael (ninth hour), Raphael (tenth hour), Gabriel (eleventh hour), and Cassiel twelfth hour). Notice some of the angels do double duty this day.

On Sundays, (unless you are invoking a specific angelic energy) the hour of sunrise will be the most powerful time to work, especially if you want to infuse energy into your work. Sunset is the second best time and is favored when you need to calm down a situation. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

BREAKING A BINDING SPELL

You Will Need:
  • bit of your own hair
  • a small bowl.
  • 3 candles, 1 red, 1 white and 1 green.
  • a fire safe bowl or incense brazier,
  • piece of charcoal
  • myrrh
  • patchouli
  • sandalwood
  • prick your right index finger.
  • Squeeze three drops of blood

  • Some binding spells can cause physical manifestations.
    You feel as if invisible strands of hair or thin strings are wrapped around you.
    You can’t see them but you can feel them and nothing you do can make that sensation stop.
    Here is a way to dispel a binding.

    Cut a bit of your own hair and set it in a small bowl.
    Light 3 candles, 1 red, 1 white and 1 green. In a fire safe bowl or incense brazier, light a
    piece of charcoal and add some myrrh, patchouli and sandalwood incense (powdered kind
    not cone or stick). Take a sterile needle or pin and prick your right index finger.
    Squeeze three drops of blood into the smoldering incense.
    As you drop the hair onto the lit incense repeat these words:

    With blood, candle and scent times three
    No longer shall this binding be
    Free to live and free to soar
    Let me leave the house once more.
    As I burn this hair, a part of me
    Let my heart and soul be free!
    And for those who doth cast despair
    Binding me with sightless hair
    I send to them this well-earned curse
    Let their evil spell reverse!
    Teach them mercy and love’s sweet gift
    Once learned, this simple spell shall lift.
    As is my will, so mote it be!

    Let the incense burn out and scatter the ashes outside.
    Lifting the binding spell should take care of the problem. Keep an eye on those around you.
    Someone who wished you ill will start to experience the torment they put you through.
    Once they understand that what they did was wrong, then the sensation will fade
    and they will be back to normal.

SPELL TO FREE YOURSELF FROM HABITS

SPELL TO FREE YOURSELF FROM HABITS

  If you wish to be free from a habit, thought, idea; if you wish to be rid of past associations,guilt or blockages; take the symbols of that problem – whatever they may be – & throw them onto a raging fire. The fire will consume the symbols & so shall it consume the power they had over you. For the symbols think a moment – if you overeat, take a portion of your favorite food & throw it onto the fire. Smoking, drinking the same. For problems which utilize no concrete objects, draw a symbol or image & burn.

For getting rid of things (like habits, houseguests, etc.), add a bath element.
After your ritual, take a bath in the appropriate herbs/oil.

During the bath, relax and focus on how your life will be without X. Wash X away from you. When you pull the plug, stay in the tub until the water has completely drained out,watching X go down the drain.

Abundance Balm

Abundance Balm

A balm to use to help bring abundance. Great to wear during casting an abundance spell.
Items You Will Need:
  • Glass mixing bowl
  • Magickal spoon
  • 5 drops of green/yellow food coloring
  • 5 teaspoons rose water
  • 3 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered clove
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon of honey
  • Small glass container with tight lid
  • ================================
  • Enough balm here for a few uses
  • ================================

 

Best made during the waxing moon of the month of May.
First off remember that abundance is not just financial. Abundance covers a huge range of aspects; food, friends, family, objects and even an plethora of emotions if one thinks of it.

Assuming your are working this at your altar, set up your altar as you see fit and invoke the gods of your pantheon. Perform first prayers and gift your offerings. (If you are doing this at a kitchen counter or table, you may wish to cleanse and sanctify the area first and then still call your your gods.)

Add all the ingredients above in the glass bowl and with your magical spoon mix vibrantly until well mixed evenly. Remember to stir clockwise for increase and positive energy. As you are stirring chant the following as often as you need to:

“Gods of my forefathers and myself,
To thee I call and ask of you;
No more to chance is my life,
I evoke and beseech this of the gods
The power of abundance now come to me!”

Visualize your needs being met and send the green energy through your hands, through the spoon and into your mixture.

When done place the mixture in the small jar and close it tight. Place in a cool dry place for a day or so. Use this cream on areas of chakra points

 

 

Astronomy Picture of the Day – A Solar Filament Erupts

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.

A Solar Filament Erupts
Image Credit: NASA‘s GSFC, SDO AIA Team

 

Explanation: What’s happened to our Sun? Nothing very unusual — it just threw a filament. Toward the middle of 2012, a long standing solar filament suddenly erupted into space producing an energetic Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The filament had been held up for days by the Sun’s ever changing magnetic field and the timing of the eruption was unexpected. Watched closely by the Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, the resulting explosion shot electrons and ions into the Solar System, some of which arrived at Earth three days later and impacted Earth’s magnetosphere, causing visible aurorae. Loops of plasma surrounding an active region can be seen above the erupting filament in the ultraviolet image. Over the past week the number of sunspots visible on the Sun unexpectedly dropped to zero, causing speculation that the Sun has now passed a very unusual solar maximum, the time in the Sun’s 11-year cycle when it is most active.
