Psychic Tip of the Day for August 24
CALENDAR TIME
This is the time to get organized. A relationship will benefit from a structured calendar for all your activities. Are you tired of overlapping?
Today’s I Ching Hexagram for August 24 is 48: The Well
48: The Well
General Meaning: Throughout various cultures and political systems of the world, the well has served as a universal symbol for that which sustains life and provides a constant, inexhaustible source of life-giving nourishment for mankind.
Like the well, human nature is the same around the world. The passage of time does not change its essential dimensions, nor take anything away. Still, just as a well can be deepened to produce clearer, cleaner water, so can we enrich our lives by delving deeply within — into our natural selves, or souls.
Beware of shallow thinking. Like a little learning, it can be dangerous. The image of the well suggests that along with depth comes clarity. Be patient, and penetrate both your problems and your own nature to the core. If you do not lower your bucket to the depths, you’re very likely to come up empty. When greater depth is desired, a lessening of speed is often required.

Dragon Blessing
Dragon Blessing
This is a ritual for blessing and consecrating all your ritual tools. Whether your ritual tools are chosen specifically for dragon magick or whether you plan to use them in several kinds of magick, it is wise, as well as a nice gesture, to ask your dragons to add their powerful blessings to the equipment. The stronger the power in a magickal ritual tool, the better the rituals are worked.
This ritual is best done on a Full Moon or at bright noon. All of the tools may be consecrated at once if you have gathered them, or you may consecrate those that you have at this point. Others may be blessed as you acquire them. Any jewelry can be blessed at the initiation ceremony. Have pure frankincense gum to burn in the incense burner; a little goes a long way with gums, which tend to smoke.
Tools that you will find useful at this point are the dragon pentacle, the pentacle disk, incense burner, chalices, salt dish, sword, and wand. If you cannot drink wine, substitute apple cider, grape juice, fruit juice or soda.
Arrange your ritual area with care. It is best to set the altar in the center of your working area so that you can face the east. Light the two altar candles (black on the left, white on the right). Remember, if you are timid about using black, substitute extremely dark blue, purple or indigo.
Play soft instrumental music, if you wish. It helps to create the proper atmosphere and mask minor noises. Once the circle is cast, do not cross the boundary until the ritual is finished! You are dealing with mischievous creatures in this type of magick. Dragon power is a totally different and more unpredictable kind of magick: it can even be dangerous if you are frivolous and half-hearted about your work.
Begin the ritual by going to the east. With the forefinger of your power hand (this is generally considered the one with which you write), “draw” your magickal circle on the floor around your ritual area. Do this by pointint your finger at the floor and seeing great flames shooting from it. Move clockwise around the circle with this flame; end by overlapping it in the east. While drawing the circle, say:
“BY DRAGON POWER, THIS CIRCLE IS SEALED.”
Return to the altar. Put a small amount of frankincense on the burning charcoal in the incense burner. Point your forefinger at the burner; say,
“BY DRAGON POWER, I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Lift the incense burner and carry it clockwise around the edge of the cast circle, beginning and ending in the east. Return the burner to the altar.
Slowly pass the pentacle disk through the incense smoke, Say;
“ELEMENT OF SPIRIT, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Set the dish of salt on the pentacle disk. Circle the dish three times clockwise with your forefinger. Say:
“OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF EARTH AND SEA COMES THIS BLESSED SALT.
BY DRAGON POWER, I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Sprinkle a few grains of salt on all four corners of the altar. This sprinkling purifies the altar and may be done at any time, whether during ritual or as a cleansing if someone has messed about with your altar.
Pass the dragon pentacle through the incense smoke and say:
“ELEMENT OF SPIRIT, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
With the dragon pentacle in your power hand, go to the eastern quarter. Hold up the pentacle, facing the east. Say:
“DRAGONS OF AIR, BEHOLD YOUR SYMBOL AND ALLY.”
Moving clockwise, go to the south. Hold up the pentacle, say:
“DRAGONS OF FIRE, BEHOLD YOUR SYMBOL AND ALLY.”
Go to the west. Hold up the pentacle, say:
“DRAGON OF WATER, BEHOLD YOUR SYMBOL AND ALLY.”
Finish by going to the north. Hold up the pentacle, say:
“DRAGONS OF EARTH, BEHOLD YOUR SYMBOL AND ALLY.”
Return to the altar. Lay aside the dragon pentacle and take up the sword. Touch it briefly to the pentacle disk and pass it through the incense smoke. (You will have to keep adding small amounts of incense through out the ritual, but not enough to make breathing uncomfortable.) Say:
“SWORD OF FIRE, O (NAME OF SWORD),
BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Hold the sword for a few moments before the dragon pentacle. Put down the sword and take up the dagger. Touch it to the pentacle disk, pass through the incense smoke, and say:
“DAGGER OF FIRE, O (NAME OF DAGGER),
BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Hold the dagger for a few moments before the dragon pentacle.
For each tool set it briefly on the pentacle disk, then pass it through the incense smoke. When finished with the Call, hold the tool up before the dragon pentacle.
Water chalice:
“CHALICE OF WATER, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Wine chalice:
“CHALICE OF EARTH, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Dragon bowl:
“BOWL OF EARTH, YOU HOLDER OF LANDS FAR DISTANT AND NEAR, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOUR PURIFIED.”
Gem bowl:
“BOWL OF EARTH, YOU HOLDER OF GEMS BRIGHT AND POWERFUL, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Wand:
“WAND OF AIR, WIELDER OF MIGHT AND MAGICK, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Staff:
“STAFF OF SPIRIT, AUTHORITY AND POWER ARE YOURS, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Water bottles:
“CONTAINERS OF WATER, HOLDER OF GREAT SEAS AND RIVERS, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Gong, finger cymbals or bell:
“YOU ELEMENT OF AIR, WHOSE MUSICAL NOTES REACH TO THE DRAGON WORLDS, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Mirror:
“EYE OF THE DRAGON, YOU ELEMENT OF EARTH, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Whenever you get new supplies of herbs and oils, they can be consecrated by circling them three times with your wand and saying:
“HERBS (OILS) OF EARTH, GIVEN BY DRAGONS OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS, BY DRAGON POWER I CALL YOU PURIFIED.”
Now is an excellent time to chant and use free-form dancing. Invite the dragons to share in the raised energy and your joy of being a magician. Talk to them about your hopes and dreams. And listen to see if they have suggestions or words of encouragement for you. This is an opportunity for close friendships to be forged.
To close the ritual, take your sword in your power hand, your wand or staff in the other. Hold the sword up in salute. Go to the east and say:
“DRAGONS OF AIR, BEHOLD THE TOOLS OF MAGICK,
CONSECRATED BY DRAGON POWER,
LET US BE ONE IN MAGICK.
FAREWELL, O DRAGONS GREAT AND WISE.”
Continue clockwise to the south. Say:
“DRAGONS OF FIRE, BEHOLD THE TOOLS OF MAGICK,
CONSECRATED BY DRAGON POWER,
LET US BE ONE IN MAGICK.
FAREWELL, O DRAGONS GREAT AND WISE.”
Go to the west: Say:
“DRAGONS OF WATER, BEHOLD THE TOOLS OF MAGICK,
CONSECRATED BY DRAGON POWER.
FAREWELL, O DRAGONS GREAT AND WISE.”
Go to the north; Say:
“DRAGONS OF EARTH, BEHOLD THE TOOLS OF MAGICK, CONSECRATED BY DRAGON POWER,
LET US BE ONE IN MAGICKL
FAREWELL, O DRAGONS GREAT AND WISE.”
Return to the altar. Point the sword at the dragon pentacle and say:
“DRAGONS OF SPIRIT, HIGHEST OF DRAGONS AND MOST POWERFUL, BLESS THIS ALTAR WITH YOUR FIRE,
LET US BE ONE IN MAGICK.
FAREWELL, O DRAGONS GREAT AND WISE.”
Cut the circle with a backward sweep of the sword across the circle boundary. Extinguish the altar candles. Leave the ritual tools on or around the altar overnight to be further empowered. The dragons may inspect them closer during this time and add special blessings.
It is important to realize that you work with dragons as partners and co-magicians. You have to be firm in your intentions but willing to listen to their point of view. A magician tries to gain control over dragons at her/his own peril.

Before a Performance Spell
Before a Performance Spell
In the tarot, the Moon card represents the powers of the unconscious. Before you go onstage for a public presentation, take a moment. Stand straight, close your eyes, and relax your shoulders. Place your heels close together, but not touching, with your feet at about a right angle. Envision the Full Moon, overhead and slightly in front of you, glowing blue-white and clear. All that you have studied and practiced is within your unconscious. The light of the Moon will free this, and let it flow through your performance. Open your eyes very slowly, and feel this light continuing to flow. Take a slow breath, and let it flow easily out of you as you step on stage.

Bringing Adventure into Your Life Spell
Bringing Adventure into Your Life Spell
Sometimes we get caught walking a treadmill in life. We go through our routines and our schedules, and we start to get bogged down. If this is the case with you now, the Sagittarius Moon can help lift you up and remind you to be playful and a little more spontaneous and adventuresome. To prepare for this spell, you will need a space to dance, a stereo, and a good CD. A few red candles are helpful too. On the night of the New Moon, go to the space and put on some music that helps you to get up and get moving. Turn off any artificial light, and light the red candles around the room. As the music begins to pulse with rhythm, allow your body to flow naturally and spontaneously. Call the fire spirits into your room, and ask for their help to feel invigorated and charged in spirit. Let your arms and legs shake off any old ways of being that are holding you down. Close your eyes and search for an inner spark that will help you to explore life more creatively and spontaneously. Let the music take you!

YOUR HEART’S DESIRE
YOUR HEART’S DESIRE
First, gather a fresh rose and two red candles, and find out the time of sunrise
the next morning. Just before you go to sleep, place a red candle on each side
of the rose. The next morning at sunrise, take the rose outside or sit by an
open window facing east, keeping the rose in front of you. Inhale the perfume
and say aloud:
THIS RED ROSE IF FOR TRUE LOVE
TRUE LOVE COME TO ME.
Now go back indoors and put the rose in it’s original position. Light the
candles and imagine love burning in the heart of the one you long for. Keep the
candles lit day and night until the rose fades (if they are extinguished, the
incantation will be broken). When the rose is dead, pinch out the candles and
bury the rose.
Release Blockages to Finding Love
Release Blockages to Finding Love
You’ll need crimson-colored embroidery floss and three gold-tone buttons. Start by visualizing your heart chakra as a small rosebud. Next, place your palms on the ground in front of you and pour your anxiety, fears, and negativity into the Earth. Return to the rose visualization; this time see the bud opened slightly. Next, gather the three buttons and about 12 inches of floss. String the first button on the floss and say the following as you tie a knot, securing them together, “With this knot I tie, I learn from my past loves and relationships.” Second button/knot; “With this knot I tie, I learn to be in the moment, to love who I have become right now.” Third button/knot; “With this knot I tie, I learn to open my heart to a healthy and brilliant future love.” Close your eyes again and see the rose open and fully bloomed. Afterward, tuck your button and floss charm under your mattress.
