The Witches Magick for the 25th Day of the Hare Moon – Love Dedication Magick

Love Dedication Magick

Cast this spell to celebrate your love.

You will need your beloved and a flashlight.

After dark beneath the light of the moon, go outdoors with your love and make this love dedication to him or her. Use the flashlight to guide your way. If you prefer you can use this dedication as a template and create your own dedication. Or if you like, you can write a simple song based on this dedication or your own words. Now merge with the night sky, with the stars and moon, with the divine. Turn your mind toward the oneness of your union and say with meaning to the one you love:

Dear love, you are the love within and without me
You blend the elements of earth, air, light, sea, and deity
Into a divine quintessence of love and beauty
Dear love, take me as I take you willingly Into spirit, mind, and body
And let the symphony of love sing With our union’s cadent harmony
Thank you dear love, you are divine
I am yours and you are mine!

Embrace and do what comes naturally!

WOTC Extra – Ritual and Magic

Ritual and Magic

The most exciting meaning of ‘ritual’ is connected to magic. There is an underlying belief that, if we do or say the right things in the right order, we will get what we want and open the enchanted door. Popular superstitions are connected to the belief that certain actions can bring about certain results by some means other than cause and effect – such as bad luck from walking under a ladder. Often there is some sound symbology underlying this. When we are young we more readily revert to ‘magical thinking’ – ‘everything will be all right as long as I don’t step on any of the cracks in the pavement’. As we mature we leave this behind in favour of the rational approach. Indeed, ‘magical thinking’ is considered by psychotherapists as a sign of mental or emotional instability.

However, if you take the view that we are architects of our own reality in a very real sense, magical thinking brings results. Not stepping on the cracks can be a little ritual to convince ourselves that we can indeed structure our lives. However, this is rather negative. It is a way of achieving an illusion of control, when we feel fearful and powerless, and in a sense we relinquish control in such a ritual, for it often turns into ‘I must not step on the cracks, or something dreadful will happen’. True magical ritual is a set of actions to convey intent, to focus the consciousness and to bring about change.

Magic, is the art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will. The change first takes place in the mind of the practitioner and extends into the ether, cosmos, call it what you will.

Metaphysicians in ever greater numbers tell us that it is we who create our own reality. Things don’t happen to us, they happen because of us, manifesting our conscious and unconscious beliefs and expectations. The only reason that we are able to ignore this, and argue with it is because of the time lag. Things take a while to happen and some take many years. In the higher dimensions, we are told, our visualizations take on immediate reality. Here, although it is a slower process, it is equally real. Scientific thinking, of course, rules this out. Science is the current tyrant, the sanctified dogma, although at the cutting edge, scientists are realizing that mind is present within all matter. One current joke tells how the most advanced and able scientists, when hauling themselves up the last few gruelling yards of the slope of Knowledge, come exhausted to a green and fertile place – and find that theologians and spiritual leaders have already been sitting there for centuries!

Sensible magical workers do not expect scientific laws to disappear, for the apple to rise from the ground and a fix itself back to the branch. They work within our reality perception, as it is at present, concentrating for the most part on changes within their own consciousness. Magic works in the direction of belief, not intent. It is what you believe that will materialize, not what you want and, if you don’t really believe that something will come into your life, all the spells and rituals in the world are most unlikely to have any effect. However, there is an exception to this and it arises with the unconscious mind. Symbols are powerful things, and despite conscious disbelief, if the inner you, your Younger Self, is convinced, you never know ….

Spells are a way of ‘spelling out’ what you want. You can achieve little or nothing in life without knowing what you want, defining it, being exact about it. Spells focus intent. Magical ritual alters consciousness, making change possible. The shift takes place, the call goes out. The results come back, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, and often in ways we do not immediately recognize, but come back they do.

Let’s Talk Witch – What is the Purpose of Rituals?

What is the Purpose of Rituals?

Ritual can be heard as the dull and boring, or it can have a ring of magic, secrecy and power. The main purpose of ritual in the ceremonial sense is to effect a change of consciousness in those participating. Ritual gets behind the conscious mind to deeper levels. Ritual is important at times of life’s passage, such as birth, coming of age, marriage and death. At these times certain predetermined rites and activities can help a person to enter a new state of being, to celebrate that new state, to enter it wholeheartedly in full and deep appreciation of what it means, and to feel this is understood and supported by others in the community.

The only rite of passage that we come close to ‘doing’ in a proper, ceremonial fashion in our culture is marriage. This is because the romance of the situation appeals to us and it is a magnificent excuse for a large and expensive party! Even so, much remains unacknowledged in the marriage ceremony, such as the demanding nature of the bond, the radical change in commitment and, today, the very alive possibility of divorce! Gypsy weddings, where blood is mingled and the broomstick jumped, mark the rawer aspect of the union and its sexual and fertile connotations, where the old vows made ‘for a year and a day’ were rather more realistic in terms of human inconstancy. ‘

Virtually no rituals exist in our culture for young girls reaching the menarche, or boys becoming young men. It is this age group that gives society the most trouble. Adolescent rebellion is accepted, even regarded as a sign of psychological health. However, in more ‘primitive’ societies it is relatively unknown, as the young take their places with honour, beside their elders. For death, despite funeral arrangements, we have inadequate systems, that do not give room to the bereaved to grieve fully and move on, nor accord to the dying person the means to ease their passage into the next stage of existence. For all these immense changes in life, we are hungry for the right ritual.

Festival of Fortuna

Fortuna was probably originally a fertility Goddess, and rites to her would have reflected this concept. However, as she became associated with the Greek Tyche, her persona changed to that of a Goddess of fate, chance, and luck.

Fortuna’s main symbol is the wheel upon which she stands, implying the instability of human fortune. Her most recognized nized symbols are those of the cornucopia and rudder, indicating her ability to steer the destiny tiny of people. At this time of year, her temples would have been decorated with fresh flowers. Offerings would have been made to her for the purpose of bringing good fortune and luck to those who followed her ways.

Monday is Ruled by the Moon

This day of the week is dedicated to the moon and all of her magic and mystery. Mondays are for women’s mysteries, illusion, prophetic dreaming, emotions, travel, and fertility. Some suggestions for Monday enchantments would include:

Call on the moon goddess Selene for practical help in magical issues.

Invoking the god Thoth for wisdom and insight

Empowering your silver jewelry under the light of the moon. Wear moonstone or pearl jewelry today to add a lunar and magical shimmer to your outfit.

Be mysterious and subtle and wear moon-associated colors such as white, silver, and blue.

Working spells for safe travel with a simple moonstone

DAILY MAGICKAL APPLICATIONS FOR MONDAY

Monday is named after the moon. The Latin term for Monday is Dies Lunae (“moon’s day”); in the Old English language, this day was Monandaeg; in Greek, it was Hermera Selenes. All of these different names and languages translate to the same thing: the “day of the moon.”

Working with the different phases of the moon is an important skill that takes a bit of time for Witches to learn. So why not cut to the chase and experiment with the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon in all of its magickal energies and aspects?

Magickally, Monday encourages the lunar energies of inspiration, illusion, prophetic dreams, emotions, psychic abilities, travel, women’s mysteries, and fertility.

Book of Witchery: Spells, Charms & Correspondences for Every Day of the Week

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.

So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.

Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day.

During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life. On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise.

Practical Magick for the Penny Pinching Witch
Carol Moyer

I will wait

On this cool night I feel warmth
His touch on my body raises the heat within
The gentle caress of his hand brings us close
You came to me this night
We were drawn to this mountain top
Moon beams led the way
In our Scared Space we have come
Heather sways in the wind
Feet bare, we feel the power of the earth
Slowly making their way the Fae come
They have been called this night
For what will be done
Our lives will be changed
My love for this warrior will remain
Time will not distance us
For we have known each other since dawn
We stand on the mountain
Moon beams dance on the loch
This beauty is forever
He has brought his power for us
He raises me to heights unknown
I see all that can be seen
The unknown is known
I am strong under his light
We know no other
The call has come
We have answered our Goddess
Flutter of wings surrounds me
Gently, I lie upon the earth
Wind swirls around me
My gown floats beneath me
My arms raised, I call for my lover
Sweet sound of the pipes can be heard in the distance
Oh, how I want him
His voice which is so engaging
His hands which are so caring
The arms which hold me so close
My heart breaks knowing he will soon leave
For the time has come to raise arms
Our land will remain free
No storm will dissolve our resolution
But, blood will be shed
Mothers will weep
Wives will clutch their breasts in sorrow
We bury our men and sons
I will be still
I will wait on this spot
I am strong in your love
I am not ready for you to leave me
You raise me to unknown courage
I am more than I can be in your light
I will hold our land
Sword in hand we will be fire
So, say your goodbyes
I will wait….

May The Goddess Shine Her Blessings Upon Our Military That Now Serves & Those Who Have Paid the Ultimate Sacrifice!!

Honor Our Military

Let’s honor our military,
The men and women who serve,
Whose dedication to our country
Does not falter, halt or swerve.

Let’s respect them for their courage;
They’re ready to do what’s right
To keep America safe,
So we can sleep better at night.

Let’s support and defend our soldiers,
Whose hardships are brutal and cruel,
Whose discipline we can’t imagine,
Who follow each order and rule.

Here’s to those who choose to be warriors
And their helpers good and true;
They’re fighting for American values;
They’re fighting for me and you.

November Birthstone – Citrine

The birthstone for November is the Citrine. The warm, fiery colors that exude from this precious stone are off the Van Gogh painting of the sunflowers. The name originates from the French word, “citrin”, meaning lemon. It has been found in the palest of yellows to a dark amber. The dark amber citrine, is referred to as Madeira, because of its resemblance to the wine.

Since the beginning of time, man has dug within the earth to find useful tools for it’s survival. In these earlier times, there was a greater connection with the planet and its gifts and the cosmic world. With each advancement and achievement of the human species, we developed tools to dig deeper within the Earth’s crust. At one point we began to dig for treasures or sometimes they were come upon accidentally. With every unearthing of these treasures and gemstones, they were believed to emit a power to its discoverer. They were thought to offer healing and magical powers, strength or protection. Most of these treasures today represent the birthstones for each month of the year in the calendar we are familiar with today, the Gregorian or Western Calendar. As time went on, each stone was believed to represent a specific time or season of the year.

Citrine is a form of quartz and the sister of Amethyst. It is worn to keep evil thoughts from one’s thinking and ward against venomous snakes. It is also a symbol of strength and hope. It is considered to having medicinal qualities used to remedy kidney and urinary complications. Throughout time it has been extensively utilized to improve the function of ones heart and digestive system. The citrine has the power to remove toxins form the body and treat muscular disorders. The vibrant color and “fire” of the citrine has always been symbolic of healing in general, as fire represents power and strength.

Citrine is very scarce, which could be the reason that it is not mentioned until the first century B.C. The Romans were noted as the first to wear it, where they would fashion the stone into a style that is referred to, cabochon. For this style, the citrine first would be polished to a most brilliant shine and then the pieces of the unfaceted stone would be fashioned into their jewels. During the Romantic Period, artisans would utilize the warmth of the citrine to enhance the color gold jewelry.

The alternate birthstone for the month of November is the Topaz.

Here are some interesting facts for this gemstone:

-In Sanskrit, Topaz also means fire

-In the Middle Ages, it healed mental and physical disorders and warded against death

-Romans used it to improve eyesight

-The Greeks believed Topaz to contain the power to make one invisible and increase their strength.

-The most famous of all Topaz is actually colorless, and originally thought to be a diamond. It measures in at 1,680 carats and is named the “Braganza Diamond” that is set in the Portuguese Crown Jewels

Other Symbols of November:

A Little About October Birth Symbols

October Babies

“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.” —Nathaniel Hawthorne

Zodiac: Libra until October 22 and Scorpio from October 23

Gemstone: Tourmaline, Opal
Tourmaline is available in many colors — and many stones are bi-color or tri-color, containing multiple hues. It is often referred to as “the gemstone of the rainbow,” and signifies love and friendship. Opal means “precious jewel.” Like the tourmaline, it’s often multi-hued, and it signifies faithfulness and confidence.

Flowers: Marigold and Cosmo
The marigold brings a message of undying love. The other October bloom is the cosmo, which symbolizes peace and serenity.

Tree: Rowan, Maple, Walnut

October’s birth flower is the pumpkin bloom. Just kidding—it’s actually the marigold. Marigolds are often given as a sign of warm or fierce, undying love, or as a way of saying that you’re content with being with the recipient. The other October flower is cosmo, a symbol of order, peace, and serenity.

FROM: http://www.almanac.com/content/birth-month-flowers-and-their-meanings#

October Birthstone – Opal

The Opal is the birthstone of October. The name, “Opal”, means “to see a change in color” and might make one drift off to daydreaming and envision a rainbow following a summer rain. Ancient monarchs treasured the opal mainly for its protective powers. Thus, they were set in into their crowns and worn in necklaces. The opal dates back to prehistoric times and according to Arabic legend, fell from heaven in a flash of lightening.

The Latin word, “opalus”, means precious jewel, and that it is. It contains up to thirty percent water and must be protected from harsh chemicals and heat. If not, they can cause the opal to dry out and may lead to a loss in its luster and cracking. It can also be broken very easily and must be guarded from any knocks or blows. The opal is made up of a non-crystallized silica, that can be found near the earth’s surface, typically in areas where geothermal springs once existed. Opal is mainly found in Australia, where ninety-five percent of the world’s black and white opals are mined. They are also found in Hungary, Brazil, Mexico, the United States and Canada.

For centuries, before time was even recorded, the discovery of precious gems within the Earth’s crust inspired many. With each discovery, humans believed that there was a cosmic connection and energy emitted from these gemstones. As time went on, they became symbolic of certain times within the year. The calendar we are all familiar with today, the Gregorian Calendar or Western Calendar has a stone symbolic for each month of the year. For those offering these gemstones as gifts to their loved ones, they have been believed to possess magical or healing powers, or sometimes seen as a gift offering protection. Each of these precious stones are unique not only in their compositions, but their energies and strengthening powers.

The gift of an Opal symbolizes confidence and faithfulness and can be used to ward off nightmares. They have even been ground and ingested for healing properties to treat issues relating to the eyes. It has also been gifted to those going into battle for protection and utilized to ease child birth. It symbolizes hope, loyalty, happiness, innocence and purity. It should be stated that the most common of all opals, recognized by its pearly iridescent hues of aqua and baby blues and pinks, should be given as a gift to only those born in October, otherwise they can be a token of bad luck. However, lucky for other lovers of the October birthstone opal, the opal ranges in many colors and shades from all over the world. Another form of opal known as fire opal is transparent of orange and red colors with flicks of yellow, but the most valuable are that of the black or gem opals, which showcase one or more colors against a background of black.

Other Symbols of October:

October Flower:

The Candula. It is usually associated with grief, sorrow and despair.

October Birth Trees:

The Rowan, Maple and Walnut. The Rowan tree will guard against enchantment, and was also used in the art of metal divining. The berries of the Rowan tree feeds birds during long winters and have a pentagram shape. This shape is an ancient symbol of protection. Due to the berries shape, it is no surprise that it has also been referred to as the “Witch Tree”.

Famous People Born in October:

Zac Effron- October 18, 1987

Kate Winslet- October 5, 1975

Suzanne Sommers- October 16, 1946
