Lady A’s Spell of the Day – Evocating Ma’at for Justice

drapeau-francais-13384961510Hm

Evocating Ma’at for Justice

You Will Need:

1 Ostrich feather

1 White paper

1 Pot of ink

1 White candle

If you cannot gain access to an ostrich feather, you may use the feather of a Blue Jay as a substitute.

this is a simple spell to bring a person to justice; which calls upon the Egyptian deity of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice- Ma’at.

Ma’at was the personification of truth, order, balance, law, morality, justice, stars and seasons. Ma’at was also said to regulate the actions of both the other deities and mortals, she set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation.

Place the paper on the surface you are using, and put the ink pot alongside it. Grab your ostrich or blue jay feather, and dip the sharp end it in the ink. Carefully write the name of the one to be brought to justice on the paper; you may have to dip the end in the ink several times again while doing so.

After writing the name, patiently wait for the ink to dry. While doing so, light your white candle.

Once the ink has dried, wipe the ink off the end of the feather, and proclaim:

”Ma’at, goddess and personification of justice and truth,

I ask you kindly to bring justice on the person inscribed.

I possess the symbol, your symbol, of truth- the ostrich/blue jay feather.

I use this in your honor; and your aid is highly appreciated.”

Once again, bring the paper with the name forth, grab the feather and dip it in the pot of ink. Underneath the name of the person to be justified, draw the hieroglyph for Ma’at. Ma’at can be written in many ways, but the simplest is the feather. However, this can cause confusion as the feather can also symbolize the air god, Shu.

If you wish to be more specific, add the loaf symbol (a semicircle), and a simple picture of the goddess on a chair with a feather above her head. Google can provide you with pictures of these images.

After that, chant once again:

”Ma’at, goddess and personification of justice and truth,

I ask you kindly to bring justice on the person inscribed.

I possess the symbol, your symbol, of truth- the ostrich/blue jay feather.

I also have wrote your name in hieroglyphs out of respect; and to make my intent clear. I ask you to appreciate this.

I use this in your honor; and your aid is highly appreciated.”

Place the ostrich/blue jay feather on to the paper, and using the white candle, set the paper alight. Once the feather and paper has burnt, gather the ashes and scatter them outside by throwing them in the air, preferably on a windy day.

The Witches Magick for the 16th Day of November – Dark Moon Affirmation Magic

drapeau-francais-13384961510Hm

DARK MOON AFFIRMATION MAGIC

 

The dark moon can be a time of fear and doubt. This spell will help you to affirm your magic and move forward in your patterns.

You will need a white candle. Draw a circle of light and call in the elements. Light the white candle, and invite the Goddess into your circle:

Divine Mother so bright

Please bless my circle with your light.

Stand before your altar, and call out three times:

Today and everyday I am on a quest to make my life more the way I want it to be.

My magic is strong. I will prevail in my quest. So be it!

Thank the Goddess for her blessings, bid farewell to the elements, and pull up the circle. For best results, write the affirmation on an index card, and put it on your bathroom mirror. Read it aloud to yourself at least three time each day and three times each night.

WOTC EXtra – Sensing Energy Currents

Sensing Energy Currents

 

Try these simple exercises to start becoming aware of your own energy and the energy around you. If you like, you can do these exercises with a friend.

Close your eyes and hold your palms up in front of you, facing each other, about a foot or so apart. Slowly move your palms closer together but don’t actually let them touch. Can you sense the energy flowing between your palms? You may feel warmth or coolness, various degrees of tingling, or something else. You might even sense a color or feel an emotion. Does the feeling grow stronger as your hands get closer together?

Choose an object, preferably a natural one such as a stone or plant. Run your hands around the object without touching it physically, trying to feel the energy it possesses. What do you sense? Can you feel warmth, coolness, or any other sensation coming from the object? Do you get any impressions or thoughts? Don’t discount them, even if they seem weird.

Ask a friend to do this exercise with you. Sit with your eyes closed, while your friend stands behind you. Slowly, your friend moves her hand toward your head, without ever actually touching you. When you sense the energy from her hand, say so. Then switch places and try the exercise again.

Write down what you experienced in what will become your “grimoire” or “book of shadows,” a journal of your magick spells and experiences. These notes will help you as you continue working with different energies, and as you grow more aware of how your own energies fluctuate with your mood, your health, and your circumstances.

Let’s Talk Witch – The Cosmic Web & Energy, Energy Everywhere

drapeau-francais-13384961510Hm

THE COSMIC WEB

From the perspective of science, everything is energy. Magicians see the world as surrounded by an energetic matrix that connects everything to everything else. This matrix, or “cosmic web,” envelops our earth like a big bubble. It also permeates all things that exist here and extends throughout the solar system and beyond. The web pulses with subtle vibrations that magicians, psychics, and other sensitive individuals can feel. Regardless of whether you are consciously aware of these vibrations, you are affected by — and your own personal energy vibrations continually affect the matrix.

Energy, Energy Everywhere

Everything in the world emits an energy vibration of some kind. Different things have different energy patterns, resonances, or “signatures.” These resonances reach out to touch one another in a series of crisscrossing lines all around the world, rather like a big spider web. They also connect the physical and nonphysical worlds. These energetic connections are what enable witches and wizards to work magick— even over a long distance. You simply send a thought or emotion along one of these energy lines to wherever or whomever you wish to reach— it works faster than sending a text.

Consider this: How many times have you gotten a phone call from someone you were just thinking about? It’s not an accident. Your thoughts and the other person’s connected in the cosmic web before you spoke to one another in the physical realm. When you do magick, you purposefully tap into this infinite web. You tug a little on one of the lines. As you become skilled at using magick, you’ll learn to navigate the cosmic web just as easily as you surf the Internet. The first step is to sensitize yourself to these vibrations and become aware of the energetic field around you.

 

Celebrating Legends, Folklore & Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Dewali Festival of Lights

drapeau-francais-13384961510Hm

Dewali (Festival of Lights

 

It is around this time of year that Dewali, Hindu Festival of Lights, ushers in the new year. Hinduism is considered to be one of the oldest living religions. It was not founded but rather evolved over a period of 4,000 years. The religion is made up of many sects, and beliefs include the doctrine of Karma, as well as the worship of numerous Gods and Goddesses desses considered to be forms of the one Supreme Being.

The word dewali means cluster of lights, and the illumination tion of lamps, bonfires, and fireworks all play an important part in the weeklong festival. The devotees of Vishnu hold that this was the day he killed the demon, but the most popular belief is that Dewali celebrates the coronation of Rama, a manifestation tion of Vishnu, following his conquest of the demon ruler of Sri Lanka, Ravana. During Dewali, effigies of Ravana are burned, merchants settle the past year’s accounts, games of chance are played, and presents are given.

DAILY MAGICKAL APPLICATIONS FOR MONDAY

drapeau-francais-13384961510Hm

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.

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

drapeau-francais-13384961510Hm

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.

Monday

Monday

In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon. In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar.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.

Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.

Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick. Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan.

Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. 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. Get this information from your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac.

A Quick Note

drapeau-francais-13384961510HmOn all of the morning posts, we will be displaying the French flag. It is our way of letting them know, we love them, we support them and our heart breaks for them. Some might not agree with our decision to do this, but stop and think it through. If the terrorists who brutally murdered so many people are not caught, they will be here next. It is not only in France’s benefit that they are caught but also ours. Really it is too the benefit of any civilization nation’s benefit they are caught.

What happened in France is appalling, they need our prayers and our support during this horrendous time in their lives. Showing support for them doesn’t hurt a thing. One finally note, my prayer for the terrorist, I hope you are gunned down like the dogs you are and then you rotten in whatever dark eternity you believe in.

May the Goddess Bless France & Her People,

Lady of the Abyss

Welcome & Merry Meet To All Those Visiting Us This Morn’ & Most of All To Our Very Precious Family & Friends!

IMAGESPASSIONS . . .by Nani

Evil never wins.

It will always be defeated, but there will be casualties.

I look to the Goddess and see her standing besides me.

I find the power which is mine

 

 

I raise my sword and defeat the face of evil with the hands of the Goddess.

 

 

She will keep me safe.

For I am her daughter forever.

 

 

I gather my Sisters close to me

I gather the strength of the Witches from the past

I gather the animals around me

 

 

My prayer begins:

I stand before the Goddess under this full moon. I seize the power of the moon in my hands. I bring the children to my side. The Goddess sends her light to me. My family shows the love that we have for each other.

May the Goddess send you her power. May those around us feel the joy that we bring to the circle. May prosperity fill our lives.

As her daughters we show our love for Mother Earth daily. She shows respect for all that is alive. We pray for those who live in fear to find safety. We pray for those who live in pain to find compassion. We pray for those in cages to run free. See how the birds fly free in our skies. See how the animals roam free. May their days be long.

I send our power to the four corners. I send our wishes to all. Bless the children. Bless our families. Bless the animals. But most … Blessings to all.

The Tadpoles of IC 410
Image Credit & Copyright: Steven Coates

Explanation: This telescopic close-up shows off the otherwise faint emission nebula IC 410. It also features two remarkable inhabitants of the cosmic pond of gas and dust below and right of center, the tadpoles of IC 410. Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, the intensely hot, bright cluster stars energize the glowing gas. Composed of denser cooler gas and dust, the tadpoles are around 10 light-years long and are likely sites of ongoing star formation. Sculpted by winds and radiation from the cluster stars, their heads are outlined by bright ridges of ionized gas while their tails trail away from the cluster’s central region. IC 410 lies some 10,000 light-years away, toward the nebula-rich constellation Auriga.
