Tuesday’s Witchery

 

Tuesday is the day to work any magick that falls in the category of increasing strength, courage, bravery, and passion. All of these intense emotions are linked to this day’s energies, and spells designed around these themes will have extra punch when performed on this magickal day.

So, let’s add a little passion and conviction into your life! Break out the daring red pieces of your wardrobe, and put a little pizzazz into your day. Work with Lilith, and see what she has to teach you about personal power and sexuality. Meditate on Tiw/Tyr and Mars, and see what those ancient warrior gods will show you about new tactics, strategies, and claiming personal victories in your life. Practice conjuring up that astral weapon from the meditation and use it wisely for protection and for courage.

Create a philter for courage and protection or handcraft your own Witch’s jar to remove negativity from your home. See what other Witch crafts you can conjure up with Tuesday’s magick. Create some kitchen magick on this Tuesday by whipping up a spicy stew-add in a few Mars-associated ingredients such as carrots, peppers, and garlic. Empower the stew for success, and then treat yourself and your family to a good, hearty meal. Try working with a little aromatherapy and burn some spicy or coffee-scented candles to increase your energy level.

Check the sky at night, and see if you can find the reddish planet Mars up in the heavens. Not sure where to look? Check an astronomy magazine or search the Web for more information. Become a magickal warrior and move forward in your life with strength, courage, and compassion. Embrace the side of yourself that loves a good challenge and that is passionate and daring! Banish fear, and face your future with strength and conviction. Believe in yourself and in your dreams, work hard, and you will win every time.

The Witches Guide To Tuesdays

 

A god, goddess, or planet governs each day of the week. It is usually easy to spot the ruler of the day by its name. The word Tuesday, however, is not so easy, but if we look at the word in Spanish, Martes, we clearly see its connections to Mars.

Because Tuesday revolves around the energy of Mars, Tuesdays are good for business, mechanical things, buying and selling animals, hunting, beginning studies, gardening, sexual activities, and confrontation. This is a day for sex magick, energy, stamina, and health. As in the old saying, Tuesdays child is full of grace, is also good for success magick and defense against enemies.

Angels of Tuesday are Camael, Samael, Satael, Amabiel, Friagne, and Hyniel. When invoked, Camael takes the form of a leopard. In Druid mythology he is a god of war, which is why we see him associated with Mars. Camael is said to be a member of the “Magnificent Seven” in some circles. Camael is another “terminator” angel.

Samael walks both worlds as a magician and sorcerer. some see him as the angel of death, others as “the bright and poisonous one.” Many consider him more of a demon, and accuse him of being Satan. However, there is reference to the satans (plural) as enforcers of the law, a sort of angelic police, if you will. Supposedly, when Samael is around, dogs howl in the night. On one hand, he is the ruler of the fifth heaven and in charge of two million angels; on the other, he is the one who changed into a serpent and convinced Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit of knowledge.

Satael is an angel of air invoked in magic rites and is the presiding spirit of the planet Mars. Amabiel is another spirit of the planet Mars; however he spends his energy on issues of human sexuality. Friagne, also an angel of this day, is invoked from the east. He is a member of the fifth heaven. Hyniel also belongs to this day and is subject to the east wind.

On Tuesdays the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Mars, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest ones to do ritual in. Check your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

Magickal Days of the Week – Tuesday

 

Named for the Norse god Tyr, who was a deity of heroism and combat, Tuesday is a very martial sort of day – color associations include bright red and oranges, as well as warrior-like metals such as iron and steel.

The ancient Romans called this day Martis, after the warrior god Mars – other deities associated with Tuesday include Ares, the Morrighan, and other gods of battle and glory. Red gemstones like rubies and garnets come into play on Tuesdays, as do herbs and plants such as thistles, holly, coneflowers and cacti – you’ll notice these are all sharp, prickly plants!

One of the interesting – and more than a little amusing – aspects of Tuesday magic is that in addition to war and conflict against your enemies, this is a day also associated with marriage. You can also use this day of the week for magical workings connected to protection and initiation. Use Tuesday to assert yourself, make a mark and stake your claims.

The Witch of Gaeta

On this day, some Wiccans like to honor the woman known as the witch of Gaeta, of whom the Italian writer Giovanni Pontano (1426? – 1503) writes in his dialog Antonius (c. 1487). Arriving at the Italian town of Gaeta, Pontano’s protagonist Suppatius meets this enterprising wise woman, who complains that the local monks are encroaching on her business of interpreting dreams, and of predicting that unmarried girls will marry handsome husbands, that pregnant women will bear sons, and that infertile ones will conceive.

 

The Dog Days

The Dog Days heralded by the heliacal rising of the Dog Star (Sirius) begin around now, ushering in a period of Summer heat that is said to last until August 11.

Once upon a starry night,
Our circle gathered for a rite.
We all circled widdershins,
As the magic rite begins.

As the glistening moonlight glows,
Our love for one another grows.
A moonbeam dances into our heart,
The shadows wane and merrily part.
We cast spells to heal the Earth,
Giving a chance for nature’s rebirth.
The love fills the air inside the circle,
And just then suddenly, a miracle…
The Earth takes us in her hand,
Away from the site at which we stand.
She places us gently into her heart,
Asking us to make the magic start.

As we raise our energies high,
She sends her pains into the sky.
Tired and weak, she says to me:
“Thank Goddess for witches, Blessed Be!”

Yes, here I go again, apologizing. I want to apologize to any who has visited the store and wanted to make a purchase. I was notified yesterday by a dear friend that there was a problem with the store. She told me she went to checkout and couldn’t. I got to poking around after the doctor’s office and I was never so embarrassed in my life. We thought we were really giving you something when we rolled out the store on the Solstice. HA! We gave you a dud, exactly that, a dud. I checked out the checkout process on the store and it was basically non-existent. You couldn’t view your cart or the items you had purchased, that page was totally black. You could see the item you were purchasing and then the buttons to make your payment, that was it.

 

The boys built the store and it wasn’t their fault. It was the host site of our store’s fault. They had redone all their codes and neither Jacob or Joseph was aware of this. After I received the email from my friend, I went to check out the check out and like I said I was embarrassed beyond belief. After I got out of the doctor’s office yesterday, I spent all day and worked late into the night to fix this problem. I can say the problem has now been taken care of and if you wish to make a purchase you can now do so. The check out page is fixed and also there is a thank you page that has been added. I can never begin to apologize enough for this. Jacob has worked with me on the first one while I was in the hospital. He knew what to do except Wix’s changed their coding and he didn’t realize that. I was surprised to see the “new, wonderful” addition they had made to their site. I was blown away when I saw what shape the store was actually in. No, totally embarrassed. But the boys had good intentions. They wanted to get the store up and running and get some income coming it. Like I said it wasn’t their fault. We should have been notified of the changes Wix had made.

 

I spent the rest of the time, after I escaped from the doctor’s office, working on the store. It is now the way it should be. Everything is normal and working over there I hope. So if you had been there in the past and wanted to order something and it was during the store’s screw up stage, please go back. You can now order, check out, view your cart and get a thank you for us. Again, I am sincerely sorry for this, please give the store another chance. This time I am sure you will be pleased how it runs for you.

 

As far as the doctor’s office went, I am in tip top condition, HA! Well that is according to my heart doctor. He listened to my heart and then did an EKG (I believe that is what it is caused). He said my heart sounded good and the EKG looked good. His parting words, “See you in 3 months.” I started once to ask him if he had purchased that new Mercedes yet but I was told to behave myself, crap can’t have no fun.

 

Anyway, that is my up-date for the morning. The store is operating the way it should now and I have healthy as a horse. After all I have been through and he expects me to believe I am healthy as a horse, yeah right! With that thought in mind, this horse needs to get her rump busy. Give us a little bit and we will be right back with today’s info. Till then….

 

Love ya,

Lady A
