World Trade Center Before and After

I could not pick just one photograph for the memorials in different countries to those that died here is a link to look at The Memorials
The United States of America Pentagon Military Building
The red circle in the first photo is where the plane crashed into the Pentagon.


Images from Flight 93 Crashed near Shanksville, PA
“On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.”
To read this lead story on History.com and may others about what happened on this day 18 years ago just click here Nations Around the World Mourn Yes I could quote articles from many different sources about this day but I could only handle reading some of the articles from this source before I started feeling the pain, confusion, and mourning of this day 18 years ago. If you wish to read other sources here is the general search link I used Google General Search for 9/11/2001
Do you remember where you were when American Airlines Flight # 11 hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center better know as the Twin Towers at 8:46 AM ET ? Then came United Flight # 175 flying into the South Tower at 9:03 AM ET. Do you remember where you were than? Next was American Airlines Flight number 77 that flew into the Pentagon at 9:45 AM ET. DO you remember what you were thinking about when this third plane tried to take out the USA’s center of all military operations? The last plane to crash that surreal day was in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:10 AM ET the brave men and women after hearing about the other planes tried to take back control of Flight 93. The misled devotees of Osama bin Laden crashed the plane into a field just to keep control of this plane that investigators that was headed for the USA capitol in Washington D. C. or Camp David, a presidential retreat, in Maryland. This was the only flight where the only casualties were the brave people aboard the plane. Do you remember what you were doing or thinking than? I light 1 white taper candle at the time that each of the airplanes were use as a weapon to attack the USA by a terrorist organization.
For those of us in the USA the air was quite when then President George W. Bush grounded of all flights into and out of the USA until further notice, Most of us were in shock not only from the attack but the fact that we could look up and not see any type of plane or helicopter in the air for the first time in the history of airplanes taking passengers all over the world. I remember thinking, “This is how peaceful the air was for birds before the first plane ever flew.” Which may seem like a strange thought but waiting to find out if relatives of mine had made it out of the South Tower or not I had to turn my mind towards nature just to allow myself to think at all without screaming.
Thank the gods and goddesses my family did not lose the life of a loved one that day but to this day they are different people than who they were before the attack suffering from PTSD and survivors guilt one took their own life on the 10 year remembrance day of the attack that took so many of their friends. I refuse to call all the September 11ths after the horrific one in 2001 an anniversary because anniversaries are suppose to recall a day that something happy happened such as a wedding or your first kiss, etc. If anyone reading this lost someone to death or mental illness or physical disability on September 11, 2001 or as a direct result from this date if you feel you can please share your friend or love ones name in the comment section. If you want to add anything else about the person please do I for one would like to know more about the person behind the name who was needlessly sacrificed by the terrorist either here or in the military. Also remember the animals that have given their lives searching the World Trade Center Towers and in foreign lands. Many gave their lives so their human could be safe.
I ask each and everyone of reading this post to please take time out of your busy day to remember those that perished on this day and the families and friends left behind also all the military personal and their family and friends who died fighting in a foreign land hopefully keep our country safe from another terrorist attack on our soil. All these people deserve the honor of us remembering them and the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001. The Ancient Egyptians believed that as long as a persons name was not forgotten and spoke out loud they were still alive in the underworld. Following is the list of names for all of those who were sacrificed on that surreal, horrible day 18 years ago. Please randomly pick out names from the almost 3,000 and say them out loud during the time you take today to remember the honored dead along with their families and friends. Keep in mind that these people came from my nationalities, religions, and cultures. Some I am sure were our pagan brothers and sisters. Also, try to remember as hard as it maybe that the families who did not know their child was a terrorist have to live with the shame of what their child did to other peoples children. I ask you to please say a prayer for the innocent family members of the 19 terrorist that came to our country to try and destroy much more then just our way of life these innocent people need comfort also.

Bake a fresh loaf of bread. Hold it up to the moon and ask the lady to bless the bread as well as the relationship. Break off a piece of the bread for your partner, as well as one for yourself as well. As you share time together, share the bread as well. Do not cut the bread with a knife or any other cutting tool. Just break off the pieces with your hands. Adding butter or jam might be a good idea to help sweeten things up a bit.
One of Coven Life’s Elders thought, and I agree, that we should post a survey to help us help you to teach your children about The Craft. If you do not want to put your answers in a comment below please email them to covenlifescoven@gmail.com, please include your child’s age so we can post information by age groups. This whole idea of helping you to help your children learn is in the planning stages any ideas and/or suggestions to make it how you think will help our descendants to learn are very welcomed.
Among all peoples in early times the sun was an object of wonder. It was to them a mystery, but although they could never understand it, they imagined many explanations of it. When we remember that in those long-ago days nothing was known of the rotation of the earth or of its movement round the sun, we can readily see how very real the movement of the sun must have seemed. But if it moved across the sky it must be a chariot, for it was in chariots that all men travelled quickly, while none but a god could ride across the sky.
The nature of the sun may have been difficult to understand, but the comforts and the benefits which it brought to men were plain to all. It was a kindly god who gave the earth warmth and light, who ripened the crops and the fruit and made them serviceable to man, who clothed the trees with leaves and scattered the fields with flowers. It is little wonder then that in all parts of the world men worshiped the sun, and the god whom they pictured in their imagination was all the more real to them because of the great worh he performed.
We have seen how the Greeks and Romans worshiped the sun as Apollo, the god who set out each day when the Gates of the East had been opened by the Goddess of the Dawn, and, driving his chariot across the sky, dipped down into the oeean, where a boat awaited him to bring him back. Apollo was the most beautiful of the gods, as befitted the giver of light and happiness, and was worshiped throughout those sunny lands of the South. On the Island of Rhodes, off the coast of Asia Minor, stood one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a statue of Apollo. It was known as the Colossus of Rhodes on account of its size, for it was 100 feet high, the fingers of the god being as long as a man. It was placed at the entrance to a harbour, and remained in position for nearly sixty years, and was then (224 B.C.) overthrown by an earthquake.
The principal temples of Apollo were in the Island of Delos, and at Delphi in Greece, and it was at this town of Delphi that the great Pythian Games were held every four years in honour of the god. The games were so called because Apollo was believed to have slain at Delphi a dragon called Python.
The sun’s daily journey, his contest with the darkness, and his final victory at the dawn of the new day are ideas which have led to endless stories, and we find these stories are very similar among different peoples. Ra, the great sun-god of Egypt, was pictured as travelling by day in a ship across the waters of the sky, and returning during the night through the kingdom of the dead. To the Egyptians Ra was a symbol of life, death, and a new birth or resurrection. Through the night Ra fought with the lord of the powers of darkness, a huge serpent, who awaited the sun in the west with a band of demons, and whom he overcame at the approach of dawn. Ra was always represented either as a hawk or as a man with a hawk’s head, with the sun on his head. The hawk was chosen as his symbol, because it was said to fly towards the sun.
In India the sun was worshiped as the god Agni, who rode in a shining chariot drawn by blood-red horses. He was golden-haired, and had a double face, seven tongues, and seven arms.
Among the gods of the early British who were driven into Ireland was the sun-god Nudd, or Ludd, as he was sometimes called. His name appears in Ludgate, and it is thought that his temple stood on what is now Ludgate Hill in London. At a town called Lydney, in Gloucestershire, the remains of a temple to Ludd have been found, with many inscriptions containing his name.
The Angles and Saxons imagined the sun to be carried in a chariot driven by a maiden named Sol, as we shall read later. They had no god whom we can describe exactly as a sun-god, but several of their gods were like the sun in many ways, particularly Frey, whose sword sent out rays of light like the sun, and who caused the crops to ripen, and Balder the Beautiful, the God of Light, who was the favourite son of Odin, father of the gods, and was, as his name shows, the most handsome of the gods, ever happy and light-hearted. His golden hair and his bright, clear eyes shone like the sun, and his radiant smile warmed the hearts of all who met him. He knew no thought of evil, but was “good and pure, and bright, was loved by all, as all love light”.
In spite of his lovable nature, however, Balder was destined to misfortune through his twin brother, Hodur, the God of Darkness, who was the exact opposite of his brother, for he was gloomy and silent, and suffered from blindness. Odin, through his great wisdom, knew that disaster was to come to Balder, and spared no effort to stave off the evil day, by making all things in creation swear that they would never harm the God of Light. This they were only too ready to do, and all made a solemn vow, with the one exception of a shoot of mistletoe, which was passed over as being too slight a thing ever to cause harm to anyone. Balder being now free from all possibility of hurt, the gods one day amused themselves by shooting and throwing at him, laughing gaily as the objects they threw fell short or turned aside. Now Loki, the God of Fire, was bitterly jealous of the God of Light, and, as he watched the sport, his evil nature prompted him to a cruel and cowardly deed. Having discovered that the mistletoe alone of all created things had made no promise, Loki hastened to the gate of Valhalla, where the mistletoe was growing and plucking it, by the help of his magical power quickly fashioned from it an arrow. He then returned and sought out Hodur, who, because of his blindness, was standing idly aside and taking no part in the sport. Loki pretended to take pity on him, and fitting the arrow to a bow which he placed in Hodur’s hands, he offered to aim the shaft for the blind god. Aided by Loki, Hodur let fly the fatal arrow, and, to the horror and amazement of the gods, Balder fell dead. The anger of the gods against Hodur knew no bounds, and they would have killed him had it not been for their own law, which forbade the shedding of blood in Asgard, the home of the gods. All Asgard was plunged in the deepest grief, and Hermod, the messenger of the gods, was sent to Hel, the Goddess of the Underworld, praying her to restore Balder to life. Hel consented to do so, on condition that all created things should weep for Balder. Messengers were at once sent out over all the world to bid all things weep for Balder. Living creatures, trees, and flowers, and even the stones shed tears for the god they had loved so well; but at last a giantess was found whose only reply to the messengers was “Let Hel keep what she has”. Thus the evil Loki, for he it was in the disguise of a giantess, showed once again his cruel hatred of Balder, and caused the whole earth to mourn the loss of the radiant God of Light.
The gods now prepared for the burial of Balder. As was the custom among the Northmen, fuel was piled on the deck of Balder’s ship Ringhorn, and the body was then laid on the funeral pyre. The sides of the ship were decorated with rich cloth and garlands of flowers, and swords, armour, drinking-vessels, and many other things which the gods valued, were placed beside the hero. A torch was then put to the fuel, and the ship was launched. The funeral pyre floated slowly towards the west, the rising flames lighting up sea and sky, until at last, like the sun itself, it sank slowly into the sea, and all light faded from the sky
I found this definition of divination interesting. It’s about a 2 minute video so you don’t have to take up a lot of your time to watch it.
Tommorow the Moon will be in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

The Moon today is in a First Quarter phase. This phase occurs roughly 7 days after the New Moon when the moon is one quarter of the way through its orbit around the earth. Exactly half the moon will be illuminated and half dark. On the day of the First Quarter phase the moon is high overhead at sunset and is visible until mid-night when it sets in the west. The First Quarter phase is a one day event and in the following days enters a Waxing Gibbous phase becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.
Last evening I became the grandmother to my 6th grandson bring my grand total of grandchildren to 9!! I was allowed to do his Wiccaning with in minutes of his birth so his ancestors are already watching over him along with my son and daughter-in-law also our large extended family.
I asked for prayers for my daughter-in-law (D-I-L) as she had to have an emergency c-section due do preeclampsia (women in the later stages of their pregnancy can all of a sudden develop high blood pressure that can be life threatening to mother and the child she is carrying) and gestational diabetes. As she was adopted she has none of her medical history background but I am not to worried about my grandson as my D-I-L has been healthy but a little overweight her whole life.
Please do not share this post with anywhere else due to a request from my son. Thank you.
Kwan Yin, Sirona, Ancient powers of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth,
Come to (person’s name) at their hearth.
Help heal whatever is keeping them down
That they might feel more like getting up and moving around.
Repeat spell three times and end it with So mote it be or however you seal your spellcasting.
I wrote this that you can use this spell for yourself or others. I also use it to empower a large green jar candle so if I need some healing help I just light it while saying, “Candle burning bright, release your powe with all its might.” Repet this three times.
Take a handful of earth and gaze into it. Put all your troubles and thoughts of distress into it. State exactly what it is that’s troubling you. When finished, throw the dirt behind you and walk away without turning around to look at it.
Fill cauldron half-full of water and drop a silver coin into it. Position the cauldron so that light from the Moon shines into the water. Gently sweep your hands just above the surface, symbolically gathering the Moon’s silver.
While doing this say:
Lovely Lady of the Moon, bring to me your wealth right soon.
FIll my hands with silver and gold. All you give, my purse can hold.
Repeat three times. When finished, pour the water upon the Earth.
This is best done at the Full Moon.

As you might know, today is my first day of owning the marvelous website it took our beloved Lady Abyss years to build up. So I need your help to keep this site up to her high standards of bringing her brothers, sisters, and other readers things they want to read and/or use in their practice. I ask that you bear with me the first couple of weeks until I get my feet back on the ground because my broomstick and I are in the clouds this morning because of the honor bestowed upon me by Lady Abyss selling me her site. SHe emailed me a list about 6 inches long of the websites WOTC is allowed to use things from and link back to, so I need time to look at all of those sites. While I have been posting on WOTC on and off for about 5 or 6 years it was my own stuff I posted and not the day to day things. But with your help and patience, I will be back to posting divination things on a rotating base along with other I hope informative and interesting articles for you. As the picture for WOTC says I am the founder and owner of Coven Life, covenlife.co, which some of you know of from attending Esbat and/or Sabbat gatherings through and I with the help of my right-hand Witch, Priestess Hypatia, have courses for the novice, adept, and priest/priestess level witches. So I have two websites to post to and oversee what others post on them.

subservient to him. She was demonized by Judeo-Christian Doctrine. But today she is a symbol of Women claiming their sovereignty.

Kali is the Hindu goddess (or Devi) of death, time, and doomsday and is often associated with sexuality and violence but is also considered a strong mother-figure and symbolic of motherly-love. She removes the ego and liberates the soul from the cycle of birth and death.
The Ritual:
Result of performing this ritual: Space, clarity and capacity to create powerfully and in a balanced way.
Inside each of us is a fierce part that wants to be expressed. That fierce part is about truth and clear everything that is no longer useful away so you can feel the balance and capacity to create inside of you.
Kali is bold. She is powerful. She is within you waiting to be awoken and activated. Call upon her when you need to get back into your power, courage and confidence and feel your raw sense of self. Kali will help you honor yourself and truth for the highest good.
This ritual will help you invoke her energy through the 4 fierce elements earth, wind, water, and fire of release and clearing.
What you’ll need:
• A safe, uninterrupted place
• A bell• A bowl of water
• A candle
• A rock (I use my volcano rocks)
Step ONE: Fire Feel the intensity of fire to burn away your limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you. Allow that lava to clear your body temple of anything that no longer belongs to you and is standing in the way of your life mission.
Step TWO: Water Feel a tidal wave is flooding your body and washing away all the beliefs that have been infiltrated inside of you and they never belonged to you. Allow the flood to go from head to toe and clean and clear and harmonize your body.
Step THREE: Air Imagine a tornado enter your body and allow this tornado that is standing in the way of your highest good. Any outer voices or even images. Allow the tornado to destroy it all.
Step FOUR: Earth Ground yourself into the earth. Take your rock and hold it into your hand and allow that grounding quality of earth to infiltrate and saturate your body.
Step FIVE: Feel your capacity and space inside of yourself to create.

This is a spell which uses an incantation to Hecate, the goddess of the Crossroads. She therefore can assist in the making of important decisions, which is why she is approached in this instance.
Her sacred day is Friday, so that would be the best day to perform this spell.
INCENSE SPECIFIC TO HECATE MADE UP OF:
SMALL BOWL CONTAINING HONEY
Read the incantation below aloud and let the energy of it flow through you.
All powerful Hecate,
goddess of victory
Bestower of good fortune
and infinite wealth
Hear my prayer, that I send
through this sweet smelling smoke
Wise Watcher of the crossroads
and the forking alleyways
Of sailors, and travellers
and all journeying folk Hear me now as I too
Humbly make my approach.
Raise the bowl of honey and say:
Accept this offering of fresh clear honey
As sweet and as pure
as your fine beauty Bestow divine light
Bring me clarity
Hear my prayer now
As I choose which road.
Put the honey bowl down.
Raise your arms again in acknowledgement of Hecate.
Lower your arms.
Sit down quietly knowing that the answer will come to you and you will know which decision to make.
You may not receive an answer immediately, but rest assured that one will come. Hecate has become known as one of the Goddesses who works at night, so you may find you receive an answer through dreams.

It’s Beltane day, and we are at the halfway point of spring and summer. Today is a day for lover’s trysts, beauty magick, and to commune with the spirits of nature. Gather some flowers and spring leaves from your garden, or pick up a small bundle of flowers from the florist and arrange them in a vase at home.
Share some wine with your lover. Sprinkle the bed sheets with fragrant rose petals. Light a few red and white candles to encourage love and magick, and to bring the energies of the sabbat into your boudoir.
If you like, you can add a Green Man representation to your altar setup. Simply set the candles in their holders on either side of the Green Man’s face and then scatter flowers around that. Simple and beautiful. You can keep it simple or go for drama; it’s up to you!
Just set a magickally romantic and passionate mood. And don’t forget to practice safe sex. It is Beltane, you know; fertility magick and all of its energies are at their peak.
Light your candles and repeat the charm:
Beltane is a day of magick, ardor, and love
May the Old Ones now bless us all from up above.
With spring flowers I call Flora to bless us here
This lush green foliage calls the Green Man to be near.
A night for enchantment where faeries circle around
Let my magick bring romance and let passion abound.
I am sure you can figure out what to do next. Allow the candles to burn out in a safe place. Blessed be!
