Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Your Day

Each day I choose one thing I want to get accomplished at home. I break it down into smaller steps. That I can rest in between the steps if I need to. It can be anything from dusting or vacuuming or doing dishes (we don’t have a dishwasher except our hands lol) or do 1 to 3 loads of laundry or cut the grass or another outside chore.

An example of 1 thing I do outside, we have a smidgen under ¼ acre which requires a steady up keep. What I want tp accomplish weed whacking around the entire house and along the back fence. Step 1) get headphones and cellphone completely – get water/vitamin water mix with ice into my large travel mug. Steps 2) gather travel mug, cellphone headphones, smokes and lighter take outside. Step 3) get extension cords and weed whacked outside and ready to use. Step 4) Take lawn out and put in the shade. Place cellphone, smokes, lighter on it and travel mug next to it. BREAK TIME until ready to start working than take a break every 15-30 minutes depending on when I feel like it. Step 5) Weed Whack. Stay hydrated! Step 6) reverse Steps 1 through 3. Sit and enjoy my accomplish, enjoy the quite and listen to the birds, watch the butterflies and dragonflies or whatever other wildlife is around until I  feel like going back inside.

This is just 1 of many things I now break down inside and outside “honey do list”. I have found with having more than one chronic pain problem that doing things (even on days I don’t want to get dress) planning only 1 thing to do each day is much gentler that trying to get a bunch of things done in a day that I  don’t ache as much and my pain level doesn’t usually go up to a point I can barely handle it even with prescription pain meds. Also I sleep better and so have less brain fog the next day.

This has also taught me to get up and move around some when working on my computer. I alway make sure to take every 3rd day off from chores to give my muscles and joints a break. If I take more days off in between…oh well the chore won’t run away or complaining. Just as I tell all of you “Your health – physically or mentally or emotionally or any combination of these always has to come 1st or you won’t be able to help yourself or anyone else.”

Spell For Sunday – An Evaluation/Promotion Tarot Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

An Evaluation/Promotion Tarot Spell

Got an evaluation coming up at work? There is nothing worse than having to go over a review form. You know you deserve a good raise, but how much will your manager or the company be willing to dole out? Or are you trying for a promotion? Sounds like it’s time to hedge your bets, so to speak. Try your hand at this tarot spell.

Gather the following:

• A carnelian tumbled stone for success and to boost your career or a quartz crystal point for extra power
• 1 yellow or gold candle (white will do in a pinch-it’s an all-purpose color)
• Three tarot cards: the Ace of Wands, the Sun, and the Chariot
• An item in sympathy with the spell that you are casting

You can also add the health, wealth, and success philter to this spell if you wish. Just anoint the spell candle with the solar-powered oil you have created.

What exactly is an item of sympathy? It is any item that is sympathetic to what you are working for. Since this is a job-related spell, an item in sympathy could be your recent paycheck stub, ID badge, or your business card. So, with that thought in mind, adding this sympathetic item to your other correspondences only helps to unify the magick. It does this by uniting the energies and giving you something very specific to focus on.

Arrange your items in front of the candle. If you wish, anoint the spell candle with the philter. Now, light the spell candle and focus on the cards and your item of sympathy, pathy, and then repeat the spell below three times. Check out the last line of the spell and adjust this as necessary.

Just like the golden child who rides under the sun
I call for recognition of a job well done
This spell candle illuminates my way
Bring success and wealth to all my days
Goddess, bless my ambitions, they are fair and true
While this higher career goal/promotion I do now pursue.

Close the spell by saying:

For the good of all, with harm to none
By the sun and stars, this spell is done.

Let the candle burn until it goes out on its own. Keep the carnelian in your pocket or purse, and the cards and your item of sympathy together and on your person for one week, until the following Sunday.

Spell For Saturday – Smokeless Smudging Mist: An alternative to Sage Cleansing

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Smokeless Smudging Mist: An alternative to Sage Cleansing

This mist spray is a great smoke-free alternative to incense burning as in SagePalo Santo or other herb-based cleansing and purifying practices. Ideal for those with allergies, living in dormitories, or with over-sensitive smoke alarms!

Why this Spell Works

The Essential oils listed here each have their own magical properties which, combined with your intention, will aid in cleansing and protecting from negative energies

Crystal-infused Moon-water is believed to raise the energy to a higher vibration which attributes to becoming more beneficial and healing.

Use this Smokeless Smudging Mist to Cleanse yourself, your home and your tools.

INGREDIENTS

Dark Glass Spray Bottle

1 Small Clear Quartz Crystal. (Used to infuse your moon-water/spring water ahead of time.)

Crystal-infused Moon-Water (Or Spring Water)

Essential Oils (and their relevant qualities)

25 Drops Sage – Healing, Protecting, Empowering, Cleansing and Removing Negativity

15 Drops Cedarwood – Cleansing, Healing, Purifying and Protecting. Guards against all Negative Influences and Dark Energy/Thoughts

10 Drops Lavender – Cleansing, Empowering, Prevents Negative Energy

DIRECTIONS

Add all the oils to your glass bottle.

Fill the rest of the bottle up with your Crystal-infused water.

Shake to mix all ingredients together.

Shake well prior to each use. Store in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight.

Cleansing Yourself

Have an intention. Set it clearly in your mind. Believe it.

Lightly spray the mist on you and around you. Avoid eyes.

Cleansing Your Home

Spritz the mist as you walk around the room slowly. Focus on cleansing and clearing all negative energy. Make sure you spray in corners, behind doors and closets. Please use caution around pets.

You may also find it helpful to speak an incantation, a thought or chant during cleansing (but this is not necessary for it to work). An example for this would be:
“ Cleanse and bless this home and hearth.
Drive away all harm and fear,
So that only good may dwell in here.”

(One Person’s View Point) New Moon Facts and Information

The New Moon is the first lunar phase, occurring when both the Sun and the Moon have the same ecliptic longitude. During the New Moon phase, the lunar disk is invisible to the naked eye, except when it is silhouetted during a solar eclipse.

For many decades the New Moon term was used o describe the first visible crescent of the Moon after its conjunction with the Sun. This thin waxing crescent is observed for a short period as the Moon gets lower in the western skies after sunset.

You can consider the New Moon as the opposite of a Full Moon. With that being said, let’s dive in and explore some more facts about the New Moon.

What Does a New Moon Mean?

A New Moon, in astronomy, marks the beginning of the first lunar phase. Many believe that this symbolizes new beginnings, and some people … Click here to read the rest of this article Source: nineplanets.org
