A Little Humor for Your Day – ‘I Want To Be 6 Again…..’

I Want To Be 6 Again…..


To Whom It May Concern:

I hereby officially tender my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 year old again. I want to go to McDonald’s and think that it’s a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them. I want to play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art. I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers’ day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn’t bother you, because you didn’t know what you didn’t know and you didn’t care. When all you knew was to be happy because you didn’t know all the things that should make you worried and upset.

I want to think that the world is in my youth… I matured and I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice, starvation and abused children. I learned of lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death I learned of a world where men left their families to go and fight for our country, and returned only to end up living on the streets…begging for their next meal. I learned of a world where children knew how to kill … and did!!

What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live forever, because we didn’t grasp the concept of death, when we thought the worst thing in the world was if someone took the jump rope from you or picked you last for kickball?

I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again. I want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean. When television was used to report the news or for family entertainment and not to promote sex, violence and deceit. I remember being naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was. I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find. I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike. I didn’t worry about time, bills or where I was going to find the money to fix my car. I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up, not worry about what I’ll do i this doesn’t work out. I want to live simple again I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angels in the snow.

I want to be 6 again.

The Witches Magick for April 11th – Visualization to Get Rid of Fear

Witchy Comments & Graphics
The Witches Magick for April 11th – Visualization to Get Rid of Fear

 

This is a good technique using herbs, visualization and relaxation to deal with difficulties. Though we have made suggestions for your visualization, try first of all to allow your own mind to create an image for you. Ask yourself, “What does my fear look like?”

You will need:

Some herbs for courage (such as Basil, Garlic, Mullein, Nettle, Thyme)

A red candle

METHOD

Construct your sacred space; spread the herbs around it.

Put the candle in front of you, then say the following three times:

 
Hear me, I call upon courage
To relinquish the holding ties of fear,
Break them, leave me, far away,
Let them not be near.
 

Now lie down quietly for 10 or 15 minutes, breathing deeply and concentrating on fear fading away into the atmosphere (cosmos).

You might use a symbol to represent fear. For example, you could use a visualization of a heavy weight which becomes lighter or the word ‘Fear’ itself in large letters which either breaks up into its individual letters and disappears or becomes smaller the more you concentrate on it.

Let the candle burn out on its own.

Collect up the herbs and candle and bury them in the earth.

Try to do this as far from your home as possible. (This will help you stave off your fears and doubts.)

Today’s Tarot Card for April 8th is The Moon

The Moon

Tuesday, Apr 8th, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.

The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.

 The Witches Magick for Monday, April 7th – Fertility Spell

Celtic Comments & Graphics

Fertility Spell

 

Items You Will Need:

Patchouli oil
Sandalwood incense
2 pine cones
3 wheat heads
Green Candle
Green marker and paper
 

Rub the oil on the candle and anoint yourself around the womb area with a drop of oil.
Light the candle and incense and place the pine cones and wheat into a cauldron or container.
Visualize your magickal goal and use the marker to draw yourself on the right hand side of the
paper as you are now – draw yourself as you want to be on the left side (flat belly – pregnant belly
will do just fine) visualize your goal while drawing – when you feel you’ve visualized enough tear the paper in half and fold the left side with your goal drawn on it into a small square and place it in your pocket then light the other paper in the candle flame and place it in the cauldron to burn.

Chant or pray for your goal to be realized as you watch the paper burn. Bury the contents of the
cauldron in your yard – preferable a garden – leave an offering of a small crumb of cake on a crystal plate for any good spirits or fairies who might happen by.

Stay positive so you don’t attract the attention of any jealous or bad fairies! Keep the paper with your goal drawn on it with you at all times until your wish is granted then you can place it in a safe place for luck

BANISHING FOR GOOD OR EVIL

BANISHING FOR GOOD OR EVIL

This spell can be used for a variety of banishing needs: banishing illnesses, bad habits, negativity, etc.,
You will need:
Carbon or flash paper Business size envelope
A slip of paper that will fit in the envelope Appropriate herbs
Healing: Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Juniper, Thyme, Willow
Banishing: Basil, Asafoetida, Valerian, Black Pepper, Patchouli, Agrimony, Acacia, Cypress
Appropriately colored candles:
Healing: Green, Blue
Banishing: Black
Fast Action: Red
Appropriate oil for anointing the candles
Healing: Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Sandalwood
Banishing: Basil, Cypress, Acacia, Frankincense
Appropriate incense
Charcoal for the incense if necessary
A disposable pen in black ink
At the full moon anoint and charge the candles with the essential oil and bless and charge the herbs you are going to use. Surround the base of the candles with the appropriate herbs and light the candles, cast your circle or otherwise prepare for magic as you normally would.
Cut a human figure out of the carbon paper (designed appropriately as specifically male for men, female for women) that will fit inside the envelope. Of course, if you need to, you can use a larger envelope but the business size is generally sufficient.
Lay the figure on the slip of paper between the candles, charge and name it as the individual and with intent write on the figure what you are working on. Such as, if the spell is to heal an illness you might simply write whatever that illness is, in example: “cold/flu.” You might also write it over the appropriate body part, such as if it is a head cold write it on the head. If it’s to overcome an addiction to cigarettes you might write “cigarettes” on the chest (or where ever you identify most with smoking) and even add a cigarette in the envelope! Be creative with it.
Charge both the paper and the doll with intent, by the elements, etc., and place them and some of the herbs in the envelope and seal it up. Lay it between the candles and allow them to burn until half gone charging and meditating on the purpose of the spell all the while! Store the candles somewhere secure to use later when finishing the spell.
Then place the envelope under the mattress of the “ill” person or recipient of the spell if possible. You may also, if it is not possible to put it with the person, place it behind a picture of the person in a frame; inside of a book they gave you, etc., You can also include nail and hair clippings if you like or what you will.
Let this stay undisturbed for as long as needed but it should not exceed one full lunar cycle. When the magic has run it’s course and the deed is accomplished, or when the cycle is done light the remainder of the candles and set your circle or prepare as you did before.
Then open the envelope and put everything on your altar, between the candles in a fire proof bowl. First burn the slip of paper with the writing along with the herbs and the hair, nails, etc., if you included them in the spell, then burn the doll. As the doll burns it will turn from black to white (great sympathetic stuff here)! As you burn these things be sure to keep focused on the intent (such as banishing the illness, visualize the person whole and healthy, no longer addicted, etc.) Scrape all of the ashes back into the envelope and use some of the candle wax to seal it up again. You can carve symbols in the wax if you like.
Be sure to, get rid of EVERYTHING which you used with this ritual (candle nubs, any remaining bits of herbs, the pen, etc., you should not have to get rid of the incense or oil as you should have used it anyhow). Bury or otherwise dispose of the envelope, far away from anyone’s home or property.
*Flash paper (the kind magicians use) is great to use for the paper, just be sure the paper is safely in the dish before lighting it! This shows the problem properly vanishing in a flash and the doll burns removing the black and turning to white.
**Use extreme caution with Asafoetida, just a whiff of this herb has been known to cause vomiting, better to substitute Valerian. Its a deadly little number so be sure about casting it as what goes out comes back 3×3.

Get Rid of Anger Spell

Get Rid of Anger Spell

You Will Need:

This spell needs to be done alongside flowing water – in a private corner surrounded by bushes at the side of a stream. You will also need a black stone

Procedure

Create your circle. Cup a black stone in your hands and raise it to your forehead, concentrate and send all your anger into the stone. Do this for as long as you can until you can do it no longer, then hurl the stone with all your might into the water and say:

“With this stone Anger be gone Water bind it No-one find it!”

Place your palms upon the ground for a few moments to earth the power and allow your circle to fade. Now go home and take care of yourself for you may feel depleted for a while, but you will be better. Alternatively, you may feel great straight away.

BANISHING A TROUBLESOME PERSON

BANISHING A TROUBLESOME PERSON

Use a black candle, with a picture of the person (if obtainable) placed underneath, also a piece of parchment with the person’s name on it.

Carve the Divine Names “Eel kanno taf” onto the black candle. Anoint the candle with Banishing Oil. Burn for nine nights, each night reading Psalm 94.
Put the candle out after Psalm is done (NOT by blowing it out).

On the last night let the candle burn all the way down. While the candle burns (on each night), meditate and focus strongly on the aim in mind. Imagine strongly the person leaving you alone; imagine strongly their evil deeds turning back onto themselves. Do this for about 5 minutes each night before you pray the Psalm.

(Note: a purple candle could also work for this, but used black if this person had been very harassing in a serious way).

UNRAVELING SPELL

UNRAVELING SPELL

 

Needs: White candle Scissors Small knitted clothing article

Inscribe the candle with your problem, then draw a question mark beneath the inscription. Light the candle and say:

“Problem, problem, melt away.
Solutions come to me today.”

Snip a thread at the edge of the knitted piece and pull the yarn to unravel it. Say:

“Knitted thread, as you unwind,
Problems can no longer bind.”
Wind the yarn into a ball saying:
“As I smooth you to a ball,
Solutions rise-come one and all.”

Alternate unraveling and winding with the appropriate chants. The solution
will come by the time all the yarn is wound.

SPELLTO REVERSE NEGATIVITY OR HEXES

SPELLTO REVERSE NEGATIVITY OR HEXES

 

Try this spell to reverse any negativity or hexes being sent your way. Visualize all blocks in your life-path being removed. Anoint a purple candle with Rosemary oil.

On a piece of white paper write the following in black ink:

All blocks are now removed.

Fold the paper three times. Light the candle and burn the paper in a bowl, ashtray, or any fireproof dish. Invoke the power of fire and its elemental spirits by repeating three times:

Firedrakes and salamanders,
aid me in my quest,
protect me from all evil forms,
turn back the negativity being sent.

After the third repetition say:

So mote it be.

SPELL TO REFLECT NEGATIVITY

SPELL TO REFLECT NEGATIVITY

 

You will need your magic mirror or a consecrated small round mirror, a wide-mouthed glass jar, ashes, vinegar, a knife or something else sharp like a razor blade or piece of broken glass, and an apple.


After sundown, set the jar before the mirror and place in it some ashes.
Fill it up about 2/3 of the way with vinegar. Take the apple and carve into it something that will represent the person or the negativity which follows or attacks you. Try and make it as clear as you can-while you carve, infuse the apple with all of the negativity you perceive around you. Raise the apple above the jar and say:


“Evil send must come to rest
Reflect it back to who knows best
Energy spent for evil and bane,
Go back now from whence you came
Far away I send you this hour
May all your attempts to harm turn sour!”


Place the apple in the jar-for best results do this spell for three consecutive nights

Reverse Magick Spell

Reverse Magick Spell

 

When one feels under psychic assault or if concerned that they are the recipient of adverse magick, one solution is to use reverse magic. One effective method of implementing this is utilizing candle magic. A reverse candle is one that reverses whatever the individual who is attempting to harm may be doing. If there is a specific individual in mind (an ex-spouse, an ex-lover, an then write his/her name on the candle (red on top half, black on bottom half)using permanent markers or some other indelible method. Each night for three nights, burn about a third of the candle.


While the candle is burning, visualize positive outcomes (such as a move to a new location for the other party, a move to a new location for you, successful mediation of a problem, etc.) and how the situation can get reversed for the good of you and any other individuals who may be involved (children, elderly parents, etc.) including the individual who’s name is inscribed on the candle.


When the candle is burned down to a stub dispose of it immediately by taking it to a body of fresh water. Once the candle is in the water, turn and walk away. If it is winter or if you can’t get to fresh water then bury it in the earth (not near your home) or dispose of it in a dumpster or some other waste area as far away from your home as possible.


When you return to your home after the disposal, return by a different route from the one you took to get there. It is critical to think positively during the process. Negativity will bog the process down. Upon your return home create a positive spell outlining what you want the situation to be — use a white candle or one that represents the positive to you.
