The Sky This Week for July 7 to July 9

Pluto’s peak appearance, a globular cluster in Ophiuchus, and other amazing things to look for in the sky this week.
By Richard Talcott

Friday, July 7

This week offers observers their first peek of Mercury during its current evening apparition. The innermost planet stands 6° high in the west-northwest a half-hour after sunset tonight. Although Mercury glows brightly, at magnitude –0.6, you might need binoculars to spot it initially against the twilight glow. A telescope reveals the planet’s disk, which spans 5.6″ and appears 80 percent lit.

Saturday, July 8

Full Moon officially arrives at 12:07 a.m. EDT tomorrow morning, but it looks completely illuminated all night. It appears low in the southeast as the Sun sets and climbs highest in the south around 1 a.m. local daylight time. The Full Moon resides among the background stars of Sagittarius the Archer throughout the night.

Sunday, July 9

Tonight marks the peak of Pluto’s 2017 appearance. The distant world reaches opposition, which means it lies opposite the Sun in our sky and remains visible all night. It glows dimly at 14th magnitude, however, so you’ll need an 8-inch or larger telescope with good optics to spot it visually. Pluto currently lies in northeastern Sagittarius, some 1.8° east-southeast of 3rd-magnitude Pi (p) Sagittarii. See “In pursuit of Pluto” in the July Astronomy for complete details on finding this world.

Circle Casting

 

Circle of starlight,
Circle of fire,
filled with enchantments
bright with desire.
Turning, turning,
beginning to end;
end to beginning
again and again.

 

Circle of wisdom,
Circle of love,
Silver with moonbeams
bright from above.
Circle of death,
Circle of re-birth,
Circle of the Mother Earth.

Spinning, spinning,
ending never.
Weaving the threads
of the midnight hour.
Weaving the web of Goddess power.

Full Disclosure for Friday, July 7th

Instead of saying, “Full Disclosure,” I ought to say, “We are a bunch of idiots who don’t know how to use our own accounts, let alone get into them!” We tried yesterday to no avail to get into our accounts and here we are, using Lady A’s account again. I did talk to her about it yesterday, which I really hated to do because she wasn’t feeling that great. Anyway, she has an idea why our accounts are messed up. She also told me what I did was fine yesterday and if we couldn’t get into our accounts, use her’s. I told her that we were putting in the corners who posted what and she liked that idea. She said when she gets back she will straighten it out with WordPress. She believes it is because we opened our store on another hosting site. Who knows? i hate using her account because I don’t want to confuse anyone but we don’t have any other choice right now.

 

Again, today, we will be putting who posted what up in the right hand corner to avoid confusion. I am sorry about this but I don’t know what else to do at the moment. I hope you enjoy today’s posts and try to have a great Friday, lol!

The Protection Ritual – Personal Protection

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

 

The Protection Ritual

 

In the morning, make protective ritual to be in safety all day. Take in the right hand a knife or a long needle. Stand the face to the east. Draw an imaginary cross in a circle by point of the knife in air directly before you. Imagine how your internal energy is transferred to the blade of the knife, how it escapes from the knife point (as an electrical discharge) and creates in space before you the vision of a fiery figure — the color of the flickering circle-cross should be spectral blue like burning of alcohol or gas. Necessarily feel material presence of the figure at that place where you have created it. The vision (the imagination) of this figure should be so visible that at times it seems to you that you can touch it, feel its cold flame and a density of power making it. It is very important that you will keep these sensations in future. Surround yourself with these circle-crosses on all four sides. Turn to the right, and standing face to the south, draw the second figure. Again turn to the right, draw by the knife one more cross, and circle. The fourth figure must be formed in northern space. In addition to that, draw cross and circle above you. During all day, you should feel a presence of these figures. It is not necessary to see them, enough to know that around you there is an insuperable barrier for all dark forces and negative influences.

The Child Protection – Personal Protection

The Child Protection

 

If a child is small, it is not very good to use for his (or her) protection any personal talismans which contain any magical and cabbalistic symbols. In this case, it is the best way to make “natural talismans” which will protect all baby room and a cradle.

 

For protection of a child from the Evil Eye, put three bay leaves in a cradle under mattress and fasten red ribbons to a cradle — the number of the ribbons should be odd. You also can put an old key under a cradle or fasten a little hand bell to it.

 

A bundling of swaddling clothes with the color ribbon (blue for a boy or pink for a girl) not only for appearance and increase of reliability of swaddling. First of all, it is a way of protection of a biofield of a baby. Recollect the magical circle that is necessary for protection. And here, a color ribbon also creates an isolation of space and plays the role of a protective barrier.

 

In order to a child was not scared with nightmares and spooks, scatter salt around a cradle so that it has formed the closed circle. Instead of a salt circle, you can surround a cradle with a white rope or draw a circle by a white chalk on a floor. Pay attention to a position of a cradle in a baby room. Very important that it stood lengthways of battens and not placed directly under a ceiling beam.

 

Since ancient times children’s rattles have used for deterrence of malicious spirits and phantoms.

The Double Mirror – Personal Protection

The Double Mirror

 

Obtain the custom-made round bilateral pocket mirror with 1 – 1.5 inches in diameter. Place this mirror in a small black leather pouch. Carry this amulet on a neck or in pocket near to the heart. This double mirror not only will protect you from hexes and the Evil Eye, but also from many negative emerges of natural kind.

The Rowan Cross – Personal Protection

The Rowan Cross

 

On Friday morning, pick two small twigs from rowan-tree. Lay these twigs cross-wise and tie them together with a red thread. Doing this, say the wards:

This cross for protection

Against creatures of this and other world,

Against alive and against dead,

Against their evil thoughts and malicious acts.

Attach a red lace to the rowan cross and carry this amulet on our neck.

 

The Safety Pin – Personal Protection

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

 

The Safety Pin

 

Obtain a safety pin. Fasten it on your clothes in the area of the heart or the solar plexus. Carry this charm secretly so that other people could not see it. Each evening unfasten the pin and pay attention on its needlepoint. If you will notice that it has changed the color, become dark blue or black, it is the signal of that on you was made a magical influence and that this influence was stopped by the needle. In this case, spit three times, one time forward and twice back — over the left and the right shoulder. After that, bury the pin in a ground. It is important bury the pin with open needle so that all accumulated in it negative energies could easily flow in the ground. Buy a new safety pin and use it in the same way. If the color of the needle for day has not changed, open the pin and leave it so overnight. In the morning, fasten it on your clothes again.

 

This simple, but very effective method is capable to protect from very many kinds of malevolent magic directed on a destruction of a biofield of a person and a producing of various diseases.

Magical Implements

Magical Implements

 

Certainly, you can acquire various magical implements as required, but the best of all would be provided with them beforehand. Here is the short list of necessary things. Colored candles. A pen or a thin brush for drawing of magical symbols. A pencil. A drawing paper and a cardboard. A scissors, needles and colored threads. Small plates and cups. Vessels with plugs for magical potions, herbs and granular substances. Sugar, salt, black pepper, herbs and essential oils. Bones of animals and feathers of birds. All these things must be purchased only on the waxing moon; it is desirable on Thursday or on Wednesday.

 

All magic implements must be cleared by fire and water. For that, hold a cleaning thing above a flame of a white candle so that warm streams of air take away all unnecessary energy and information belonging to this object. Then put it in running water — in a spring or brook, or simply place it under stream of cold water in a washbowl. What can be spoiled by water must be exposed longer fiery cleaning without water influence at all. Anyway, hold a cleaning thing above the flame highly enough so that fire could not spoil it.

 

Keep all your magical implements in one secret place and use them only in the magical purposes. Having made or bought once any magical implement, do not try to replace it constantly by other new thing — do it only when they have full used up or broken.

The Place of Magic

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

 

The Place of Magic

 

By ancient traditions, magic should be made at specific places such as a crossroads, an open country, a top of a hill, a ruinous church, an uninhabited house, or a bath-house. Many spells and rituals are made in a kitchen (near a fireplace or a stove), a cellar, or a garret room. Wherever you make magic, remember the following rules.

 

Beginning your magic, determine the place for a performance of a ritual. The main condition is a preservation of secrecy. Nobody must prevent you. Nobody must know about your magic. Certainly, other people can know that you have a magic practice, but they must not guess about your real actions.

 

For a designation of your magical space, create a magic circle. You can use for this purpose a long white rope, by which delimit the external world and the world of your magical transformations. Instead of the rope, you can draw a circle on a floor by chalk. Create in your mind an imagined circle — an energy wall that separates you from the external world. The magic circle is necessary for isolation and an increase of a saturation of the space with magical emanations. Inside the circle, laws of physics not always those to which we have got used. Here, the space and the time are subject to refraction — the future not always is a continuation of the past, and the present lives according to laws of the other world. The closer to circle centre, the stronger these anomalies. Therefore, your main magical place is an altar always should be in the middle of the magic circle.

 

As the altar you can use a small square table or a stool sheeted with a dark red or black fabric. The altar plays a role of the centre of a concentration of the influences necessary to your magic. Besides, it is considered as the reduced copy of the Universe where all forces and influences of world are collected.

 

On the altar are placed all magical tools and implements using by you during a ritual.

The Time of Magic

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

 

The Time of Magic

 

One of the main laws of mysticism and daily life is “for each thing or event there are the defined place and the time”. Different actions have the bigger or smaller efficiency in different seasons of year. Magical rituals also have the bigger productivity in the specific periods. Therefore, in order to your magic would be really effective, it is necessary to coordinate it with indications of earthly and celestial clocks.

 

It is considered that all kinds of beneficial magic should be made on the waxing moon, and destructive forces are in the competence of the waning moon.

 

Besides the moon cycles, there is the daily magic schedule — each day of week is under the auspices of one of the seven planets and Old Gods. Individual interaction of the planets with the Earth’s biofield enables to get the greater success in magic in the definite time interval. Different Old Gods have different influences upon life of people and an appealing to them at an appointed day (day when they have the most authorities) gives more chances that your words will be heard. So if your magic have concern with money and a receiving of material benefits, it will be more successfully on Wednesday than on Monday. For love magic, Friday is intended and Saturday fits for it least of all. Here is the conformity between the days and universal influences.

 

Sunday is day of the Sun. On this day, the Sun is Lord in the sky and on the Earth, and it can give all its greatness and authority to the one who will make a request. The Sun is a star of kings and grand people and it gives popularity, force, riches and glory. The Sun grants light and warmth, moves heavenly bodies, makes a change of day and night, seasons, years and centuries. The Sun gives blessings, riches, happiness and prosperity. Also, The Sun patronizes weddings. On this day, you can make rituals for successful purchase and sale, attraction of money, career, leadership, for any high aims, happiness, confidence, composure, persuasion and patience, for male sexuality, physical and mental strength. Also could say that on Sunday any magic is possible if only it does not contradict your internal foundations and rules.

 

Monday is day of the planet Moon. The Moon is the female planet, therefore, it most of all is responsible for a state of female health and fertility. Monday is intended for all kinds of magic connected to spiritism, receiving of information, prophecy and clairvoyance. Rituals of this day for getting of female energy, normalization of personal cycles and internal processes, for development of mental capacity, for home and hearth, for cancellation and neutralization of any magic, for lesbian and homosexual love. The Moon also takes care of sprouts and the future crop, therefore this day successful for any magic connected with sowing and planting.

 

Tuesday is day of the planet Mars. On this day, there are completely various influences. On the one hand, militant Mars brings destruction and this influence can be use for malicious magic. On the other hand, the power of this planet is very useful in affairs demanding perseverance and resoluteness — when it is necessary to resist to enemies and to have an advantage over them. Today, you can make rituals for stamina, courage, independence, leadership, competition, confrontation, struggle and victory, for success in sport, hunt and war, for male sexuality, for elimination of negative influences, return of black energy and punishment of an offender.

 

Wednesday is day of the planet Mercury. The Mercury is very dynamic planet that is responsible for business and money. On this day, magic rituals are successful for travel, getting approbation, homosexual love, receiving of information, prophecy and clairvoyance. Mercury is a patron of traders, cattle-breeders, grain-grower, hunters and travelers. All lowest spirits submit to him. Moneymaking bargains, profitable investments, business connections, professional qualities, gambles, study, education and all kinds of art are under protection of Mercury.

 

Thursday is day of the planet Jove. The Jove is most intellectual planet capable to bring a success in all spheres of your life. Jove is creator of the world. He impregnates the Earth by rains and awakes the nature for life. Jove punishes for defiance of laws. On this day, you should make rituals for prosperity, advantage over rivals and enemies, for success in gambles, legal cases, public affairs, politics, and higher education. Besides, Jove has concern with male sexuality and voluptuousness; therefore, this day is useful for making various love poisons.

 

Friday is day of the planet Venus. Venus is goddess of the earth and a harvest, mother of winds, the sovereign of the forest world, the patroness of female needlework, the mistress of crossroads of universe. She owns a secret of a passage from this world into the other world. Venus gives an exit from the most hopeless situations, but she reward only who have strength of mind and who not lose hope. Venus is goddess of woman destiny and that is why Friday is the most suitable day for rituals of fulfillment of any woman wishes. The Venus has concern with public work, shopping, gifts, comfort, harmony, and magnificence, female sexuality, emotionality, beauty and attraction. This planet promotes strengthening of friendship, partnership and marriage, removes hatred and gives peace. Any love magic, making in this day, will give beneficial effect.

 

Saturday is day of the planet Saturn. Saturn is most dark and mystical force. Dark not always means bad. Here, there is the great secret of eternity which people cannot understand completely. Contact with the forces of this planet usually has negative or cognitive character. Venus is the Father God or the Old God. He patronizes old people and parents, gives wisdom and authority, allots lot and blessing. On Saturday, you can make rituals for success in scientific work, for transformation, reorganization, and reforms, for claiming of debts, reminding of obligations, stagnation of business of your competitors, creation and negotiation of obstacles, antidotes for love magic, antidotes for hexes, curses and the evil eye. And of course, this day is suitable for any malevolent black magic.

 

Being guided by the rule of seven days, you already can have all prospect of success of your magic. But more the success of your magic will be guaranteed, if you make it in the right place.

Rituals

Rituals

 

As we have already defined, magical work or magical ritual is a creation of mental forms — matrixes of future events — where the building material for these forms is energy of the nature elements (the Fire, the Water, the Earth, and the Air), and the tools for their construction are your Imagination, Faith and Will.

 

Beginning a magical ritual, enter a particular mental state. Use your Will, Faith and Imagination. During a ritual, imagine those events which your actions must cause. Be completely sure in your right and in your acts. You must trust that the wishful events necessarily will take place in your life. Think about the future as about the existent present.

 

Making magical actions, you must necessarily see what result they will give. Surround yourself on all time of a magic ritual with images and visions of mystical forces and desirable events. If you use forces of Fire, Water, Moon, Cosmos or other supreme spheres, their images accepting the forms familiar to you or arising from your subconsciousness as symbols and obscure visions, necessarily must be visibly present at your magical space.

 

Your Will must help your Faith and Imagination, to direct energy in a necessary direction, create the exertion and the discharging of magical space, move material objects and transform the time. The magical Will, like a lens, focuses your emotions and forces in one point and helps to achieve the purpose.

 

Making magical changes of reality, you will use not only your internal, but also external forces and energies.

 

As in the physical world for production of various things and objects various materials are necessary, so in the spiritual world for initiation of different events is used power of various qualities. It is considered that the main materials of which are created all objects of the physical world are the four elements of nature: the Earth, the Water, the Fire, and the Air. Aspects of these main forces of nature (their energy) are present at all manifestations of our reality and constantly exert various influences on any sphere of our life. Therefore, correct revealing and use of energy of the four elements of nature will be utterly necessary for who will decide to change the world and oneself.

 

In our world, there are another secret influences and energies which can be useful for building of a favorable reality. First of all this is energy of the stars and planets — Sun, Moon, Venus, Jove, Mars, Saturn and Mercury. All these planets, as well as Gods in whose honor they were named, patronize the different activity categories of the people. Patronage of Supreme Forces also will be necessary for you to have the reliable protection and the bigger domination over people and a situation.

 

Having finished magical ritual, hide traces of your secret action.

 

Continue magic and in other days of your life. Remember that magical actions are not only ritual ceremonial acts, but also daily magic in real life.

 

Be not afraid of possible insignificant failures and difficulties — going towards big aim, you cannot avoid them. If something has not the result from the first, persistent recurrence or approach to a problem on the other hand necessarily will give you success. Remember much depends on you, on decisions made by you, and on promises given to yourself.

 

Feel that you have mystical connection with all living on the Earth and existing in infinite Universe. Make your own choice and find out not only the visible world, but also its latent scope.
