The Enchantra are also called the dreamers of light because they sparkle and dazzle like the sun, the moon and the stars. You will know they are near by the sound of their gentle, melodic singing in a mysterious language. They can only do good deeds and are abhorred by evil thoughts and evildoers. The idea with this spell is to bring the enchanting energy of the Enchantra into your life tonight and every night.
For this spell, you will need beautiful music, lots of light and a mirror.
Turn on the music and lights, and then stand in front of the mirror. Call to the Enchantra three times:
Beautiful Enchantra, dreamers of light,
Come and make this a magickal night.
Look at your reflections as it sparkles with the light of the Enchantra. Smile with a radiant brightness that dazzles. Take a deep breath and sense the light moving inside as welll as outside. Every part of your being shines brightly. Call to the Enchantra:
Beautiful Enchantra, dreamers of light,
Come and brighten my dreams tonight!
Wicca Spell A Night

I found this rhyme to call power into an athame before casting a spell in Raven Grimassi’s terrific book “Encyclopedia of Wicca & Witchcraft.”
Raise the blade into the air and say the following words:
Gracious Goddess
Holy and divine
Answer to the call of nine
One – I stand before thy throne
Two – I invoke thee alone
Three – I hold aloft my blade
Four – descend as the spell is made
Five – lend thy power to give it life
Six – thy power into my knife
Seven – on earth, in sky, and shining sea,
Gracious Goddess, be with me
Eight – come now, the call is made
Nine – give power unto my blade.

Moonlight Musings
In Astrology, The Moon is the symbol for your inner self, the feelings-and-emotions part of your character, and the personality you share with very close friends and family members … people who are intimately familiar to you, those who know you best.
The Moon travels through all twelve signs of Zodiac every month, changing about every two and a half days. The sign the Moon occupies as it travels through the sky will set the “emotional tone” for the day.
The aspects it forms … the angles it makes to other planets in the sky as it moves … show periods of cooperation and conflict between your different needs and personal agendas. These, of course, will be reflected in the shifting moods and attitudes, the emotional concerns of real life.
Leo is a Fire sign. Fire signs are positive, assertive, active, outgoing, and motivating. They do things, stir things up and take action. They go after what they want and make things happen. When there is Fire Sign energy in the sky, or when a person has Fire Sign energy in his Natal Chart, these characteristics are up-front and on display.
Leo is also a Fixed Sign. Fixed Sign personalities are stubborn, set in their ways, firm in their opinions and resistant to change. They are stable, persistent, resourceful and resolute. When there is Fixed Sign energy in the sky, these attitudes and qualities will also show up in the day’s events and experiences.
When the Moon is in Leo, feelings are dramatic, generous … even ostentatious. People are self-assured, charismatic and confident. They express themselves with flamboyance and pride, dignity and determination.
When the Moon is in Leo, play up your leadership skills. Polish your popularity. Be creative and self-promoting. It’s time for romance, so be playful. Kick back and let the good times roll. Show off your talents. Find places, people and situations where you are admired and appreciated. Be warm, kind and generous to everyone — yourself included.
When stressed, people are arrogant, egotistical, vain, self-absorbed and self-centered.

![TRAX& Seohyun [SNSD] - Oh! My Goddess](https://i0.wp.com/image.blingee.com/images19/content/output/000/000/000/800/821015871_426250.gif "TRAX& Seohyun [SNSD] - Oh! My Goddess")
The name Wednesday continues Middle English Wednesdei. Old English still had wōdnesdæg, which would be continued as *Wodnesday (but Old Frisian has an attested wednesdei). By the early 13th century, the i-mutated form was introduced unetymologically.
The name is a calque of the Latin dies Mercurii “day of Mercury”, reflecting the fact that the Germanic god Woden (Wodanaz or Odin) during the Roman era was interpreted as “Germanic Mercury”.
The Latin name dates to the late 2nd or early 3rd century. It is a calque of Greek ἡμέρα Ἕρμου heméra Hérmou, a term first attested, together with the system of naming the seven weekdays after the seven classical planets, in the Anthologiarum by Vettius Valens (ca. AD 170).
The Latin name is reflected directly in the weekday name in Romance languages: Mércuris (Sardinian), mercredi (French), mercoledì (Italian), miércoles (Spanish), miercuri (Romanian), dimecres (Catalan), Marcuri or Mercuri (Corsican), dies Mercurii (Latin). The German name for the day, Mittwoch (literally: “mid-week”), replaced the former name Wodenstag (“Wodan’s day”) in the tenth century. The Dutch name for the day, woensdag has the same etymology as English Wednesday, it comes from Middle Dutch wodenesdag, woedensdag (“Wodan’s day”).
Most Slavic languages follow this pattern and use derivations of “the middle” (Bulgarian сряда sryada, Croatian srijeda, Czech středa, Macedonian среда sreda, Polish środa, Russian среда sredá, Serbian среда/sreda or cриједа/srijeda, Slovak streda, Slovene sreda, Ukrainian середа sereda). The Finnish name is Keskiviikko (“middle of the week”), as is the Icelandic name: Miðvikudagur, and the Faroese name: Mikudagur (“Mid-week day”). Some dialects of Faroese have Ónsdagur, though, which shares etymology with Wednesday. Danish, Norwegian, Swedish Onsdag, (“Ons-dag” = Oden’s/Odin’s dag/day). In Welsh it is Dydd Mercher, meaning Mercury’s Day.
In Japanese, the word Wednesday is 水曜日(sui youbi), meaning ‘water day’ and is associated with 水星 (suisei): Mercury (the planet), literally meaning “water star”. Similarly, in Korean the word Wednesday is 수요일 (su yo il), also meaning water day.
In most of the languages of India, the word for Wednesday is Budhavãra—vãra meaning day and Budh being the planet Mercury.
From Armenian (Չորեքշաբթի—chorekshabti), Georgian (ოთხშაბათი—otkhshabati), and Tajik (Chorshanbiyev) languages the word literally means as “four (days) from Saturday”.
Portuguese uses the word quarta-feira, meaning “fourth day”, while in Greek the word is Tetarti (Τετάρτη) meaning simply “fourth”. Similarly, Arabic أربعاء means “fourth”, Hebrew רביעי means “fourth”, and Persian چهارشنبه means “fourth day”. Yet the name for the day in Estonian kolmapäev, Lithuanian trečiadienis, and Latvian trešdiena means “third day” while in Mandarin Chinese 星期三 (xīngqīsān), means “day three”, as Sunday is unnumbered.
Wednesday is named for Woden himself, although the Romans called it dies Mercurii. This is a day associated with the color purple, the planet Mercury, and the metal quicksilver – which is also called mercury. See a pattern here?
When it comes to deities… yes, Mercury! However, there are a few other gods associated with Wednesday, including Odin and Hermes, Athena, and Lugh. Gemstones like adventurine and agate come in handy as well, as do plants such as aspen trees, lilies, lavender and even ferns.
Business and job-related issues, communication, loss and debt, traveling, and journeys are all tied in to Wednesday. This is a good day to do a working to open up lines of communication – especially if your own actions are preventing you from being an effective speaker or listener. Go someplace new or return to an old favorite stomping ground, step up your game, and settle up your accounts.
