The Judgment card represents a sexual awakening, and now that you aren’t afraid to move in a new direction, a whole new world awaits you. What sex positions do you want to try, and which fantasies have you been dying to act out? Being honest with yourself and potential partner(s) about the details of what you desire will help you get what you want faster, and the end result will be much more satisfying. And above all, enjoy your sexual liberation!
Your Daily Love Tarot Card for June 8 is The Sun
Daily Love Tarot
The Sun
__________________________________________
June 8,, 2018
The Sun is an invitation to a supportive relationship in which you can be yourself around your significant other. You feel relaxed and loved, with a sense of peace of heart. You’ve struck gold and entered into a new realm. Keep looking if this is not how you feel because it is how things should be. You can’t expect improvement in a long-term union if you do not take effective steps to create it.
Your Daily Tarot Card for June 8 is Seven of Coins
Tarot Card of the Day
Seven of Coins
June 8, 2018
The Seven of this suit is typically a paean to the humble laborer who is willing to show up every day and sweat in the sun for next season’s bounty. The traditional concept is cultivation, with an attitude that slow and steady wins the race, with faith in nature’s assistance. The protagonist of this card doesn’t make excuses, isn’t whimsical or moody, but is dedicated and sees the job through. Of course, it’s no good to count your chickens before they hatch, but there’s no question that the person who is vigilant over a project is more likely to get the desired result.
Someone who works with nature, cooperating with her ways, will waste less energy and time than the person who works against her. As a side meaning, we sometimes see this normally humble farmer in a moment of frenzy, betting the crop on a roll of the dice. This represents a moment of dementia, addiction or desperation which hopefully will not last long enough for the farmer to lose everything!

If You Were Born Today, June 8
You are a true networker, possessing an insatiable curiosity and readily reaching out to people, but you have a distinctly private side as well. You have a real flair for the dramatic, and you can be a great storyteller. Your drive is powerful and you thrive on challenges. You are pleasant and agreeable, but you won’t compromise your principles to be these things. You are witty and always have something interesting to contribute to any conversation. Famous people born today: Robert Schumann, Barbara Bush, Joan Rivers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Kanye West.
Your Birthday Year Forecast
With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life. For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!
This can be an exceptionally busy year on a mental level. At times, you may feel like the pace of your life is running ahead of you. You can be especially productive, however, in all types of communications–writing, speaking, learning, teaching, and so forth. Your reputation may be enhanced through word of mouth. Making new contacts through learning and mental pursuits figures strongly as well.
You are taking pride in your relationships. It’s a good time to strengthen and support others and to build trust. You tend to instinctively know how to behave in ways that boost others’ confidence. This can be a pleasantly ambitious period.
Certain relationships grow and expand this year or there can be the growth of a money-making pursuit or a satisfying hobby. Pleasing circumstances surrounding your love life, finances, and creative pursuits are in store this year. You are more generous, and others return the favor.
However, intensity characterizes your personal relationships and romantic attachments at times. Passions, feelings of jealousy, and possessiveness can run high, and these emotions are in direct proportion to fear of losing someone. You are likely to have to deal with these emotions in yourself, but you may also need to handle the jealousies and possessiveness of a partner. Relationships may be complicated or you seem drawn to complicated relationships. The need for deeper intimacy is present, but fear of this closeness may be just as strong. Something tiny can trigger all sorts of buried emotions, and this can be very revealing! Instead, there may be some tension over your personal finances, and/or need to make a large payment that necessitates changes in your spending habits. Finances may be complicated or there are power struggles with money this year.
Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface this year. Making connections with others from different backgrounds may figure strongly. Widening your mind through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. You more easily make personal sacrifices for what you believe to be the better good this year.
You’re in an excellent position for personal interests, education, and projects, as you are more committed to these things than usual. Your social life can transform in wonderful and perhaps magical ways, although some relationships can be complicated. You’re motivated regarding your personal interests and projects, and life can be very busy this year. Even so, until February, energy levels are up and down until you get in touch with what inspires you.
2018 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.
2019 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.

The Witches Current Moon Phase for June 8
The Witches Current Moon Phase for June 8
Waning Crescent
Illumination: 33%
The Moon today is in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

——————————-
The Waning Crescent Moon Phase
This intermediate Moon phase is the last phase of the lunar month. It starts just after the Third Quarter Moon and lasts until the following New Moon.
49.9% to 0.1% Illuminated
During the Waning Crescent Moon phase, the illuminated part of the Moon decreases from the lit up semicircle at Third Quarter until it disappears from view entirely at New Moon.
Waning means that it is getting smaller while crescent refers to the curved shape similar to a banana or a boat.
With some variations, the Waning Crescent Moon rises after midnight and is still up and visible in the morning and day sky before it sets in the afternoon.
Sun Lights Up the Moon
The Moon does not radiate its own light, but the Moon’s surface reflects the Sun’s rays. Half of the Moon’s surface is always illuminated by sunlight. Just how much of that light we can see from Earth varies every day, and we refer to this as a Moon phase.
Repeating Cycle
In Western culture, we divide the lunar month into 4 primary and 4 intermediate Moon phases.
The Moon phases start with the invisible New Moon, while the first visible phase is the thin sliver of a Waxing Crescent Moon. Around a week later, half of the Moon’s surface is illuminated while the other half is in darkness at First Quarter Moon.
The illuminated part continues to grow into a Waxing Gibbous Moon, until 14–15 days into the cycle, we see the entire face of the Moon lit up at Full Moon.
The illuminated part then gradually shrinks into a Waning Gibbous Moon, and when it reaches Third Quarter, the opposite half from the First Quarter is illuminated. From there, it fades into the Waning Crescent Moon before it finally disappears from view again, only to reemerge and repeat this cycle over and over.
Earthshine
Although only a small part of the Moon is directly illuminated by the Sun at the end of the Waning Crescent Moon phase, the rest of the Moon is sometimes also faintly visible. This is because Earth also reflects sunlight as a dull glow onto the Moon, a phenomenon called earthshine.
Same Phase Looks Different
The Moon phases are the same all over the world, both in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The same percentage of the Moon will be illuminated no matter where on Earth you are.
However, whether the Waning Crescent Moon looks like a banana, a boat, or even an umbrella, depends on the time, the date, your location and the Moon’s position in the sky. Exactly which part of the Moon is lit up–the top, bottom, or the side–also depends on how high the Moon is in the sky.
The line–or curve–dividing the illuminated and dark parts of the Moon is called the terminator. The terminator of a Waning Crescent Moon can appear on the right side, the left, the top or the bottom.

Calendar of the Sun for Friday, June 8
Calendar of the Sun
Media Ver
Color: Green
Element: Earth
Altar: Upon a green cloth set growing herbs and flowers in pots, a pitcher of rainwater, small dishes of late-sowed seeds such as lettuce (as many as there are people), a flower wreath, and a single green candle.
Offerings: Seeds to be planted in the garden.
Daily Meal: Vegetarian
Media Ver Invocation
Earth, you have awakened to our touch!
The winds have stirred you,
The rain has nourished you,
The sun has opened your eyes.
Your million mouths open
On the unfolded leaves of every tree.
We glory in your abundance,
In the dance of your youth,
And we dance for your brilliant life
And your new season.
Yet now is the time when the real work begins.
If we would keep what we have sown,
We must not stop here,
But we must labor for the sustenance
Of our creation, as it has always been.
For the first growth is a miracle from the Gods,
But the second growth is the miracle unseen,
From the labor of our hands,
Which is also sacred.
Chant:
Green growing
Green Man knowing
Path of striving
Way of opening
(Each takes a pot of seeds and goes to the garden, and hoes or otherwise prepares a space for planting, and then plants their seeds, chanting while doing so. The pitcher of rainwater is carried out and ritually poured onto the seeds. Weeding should also be done at this time, and the care for plants that have already broken the surface.)

Astrology of Today – Friday, June 8, 2018
- The Moon is in Aries.
- The Moon is waning and in its Last Quarter phase.
- The Last Quarter Moon occurred on the 6th and the New Moon will occur on the 13th.
- Mars is in its pre-retrograde shadow (Mars will retrograde from June 26th to August 27th).
Moon in Aries
We’re motivated by a strong desire to start fresh. A gut instinct to start something new is with us now, as well as the gumption to do so. Our pioneering impulses are strong, and we feel energetic, spontaneous, and enthusiastic. We may also be tactless and impulsive now. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.
The Moon in Aries generally favors the following activities: Quick actions that yield immediate results. Undertakings that involve the self and the personality. (Staying power may be lacking). Self-assertion, taking on challenges, beginning short-term projects.

Good Friday Morning to all our brothers & sisters of the Craft. May you have a blessed day.
We were wondering if we could even get started this Friday morning.
Is is Friday the 13th? If not, I can’t believe it. We have three computers that are loaded with tons of witchcraft information. Those computers also include sites that we have permission to pull information from. Yesterday, the men wanted to run us out of the office again so they could continue working on the store. I told them, no. Lady A had told me to get this site back up and running. They would just have to wait and come back when we were through.
I know Lord M called about 4:00 yesterday and asked me if it would be alright for him and the other two men come to the office and work on the store. I told him of course it was. I explained to him what Lady A had said and I was just doing as she wished. He was so understanding I ought to have know something was up. This morning when the ladies got at their computers and started to work, the passwords on the computers the men had worked on, had been changed. We are locked out of those computers and they do contain all our information on them.
I can’t believe they meant to but a password doesn’t get changed by itself. Maybe they didn’t know the witchcraft material were on those computer. I believe they thought we would do something to mess up the store. I know they wouldn’t intentionally do anything to harm the WOTC or go against Lady A’s wishes. But still we are locked out. I would call Lady A and tell her but I don’t want to upset her while she is in the hospital. We are going to tread through the best we can. We can provide you with your horoscopes, tarot and I have some links I have collect regarding witchcraft. So we will make it. I hope.
I can’t wait to talk to Lord M and see what the heck happened. Should be an interesting conversation. I hope you enjoy what information we are able to supply you with today.
Have a blessed day,
Lynette
When you think of Pagans
When you think of Pagans
What is the image that comes to mind? Is it one of demonic rituals, images of tattooed bodies dancing hysterically around a smoky bonfire in frantic movements, or nude bodies intertwined in sweaty deviate sexual activities, orgies of body and mind? Perhaps it’s one of a dark gloomy room with a group of red eyed twisted faces peering over a large cast-iron pot, mouthing strange words in praise of their hell-bound master? Pass the popcorn. Because that is what you’ve seen, movie hype in a gross attempt to make MONEY.
For the last 8 centuries the Christian faith has done its best to drum up intolerance to anything it feels as a threat to its supreme authority over humanities free will, its right to choose. This one god theory is an attempt to control, regulate or suppress the search for knowledge which is the basic urge of all humans. They even made it a sin (Original) for the very fact of acquiring the thirst for it, as written in their holies of holy books the bible, as if it were a theft from the gods and not a gift. They even admit in the same book that whomever it was that first had an independent thought that the gods commanded to banish them into eternal misery from a garden of such delights as we could only image, such a caring god. As long as humans were ignorant and servile, they could enjoy bliss at their (gods) will. But once they became aware of who they were and the world around them, knowledge, the first thing god did was to punish. So much for a merciful and forgiving god.
So once this cultist extremism came in to a power of authority around the 3rd century B. C. E. so fragile was its hold on the position that it was destined to become, that surrounded by nations of peoples who for tens of thousands of years had formatted their own ideas of the their place in the greater scheme, what rituals and feast days that they could not be absorbed, they demonized. Damming the non-believers in to an abyss of imaginable torments, populated with hideous creatures deformed from the sins of denial of the true god (a matter of opinion).
Gradually this intolerance over the centuries grew from merely a sin and damnation of the soul, to be ever more manifest into the physical hell that the Christians so vehemently describe in the domain of their second god (devil, satan etc.). By committing the most horrendous tortures upon the bodies of innocent non-believers (submit or die) until the pursuit of death (murder). Witchery they finally came to call it, any belief in a deity other than theirs. Satan, the devil was the only answer they could agree was the cause of all this dissention, and ascribed the most bizarre scenes that their deviate minds could image to its adherence.
Along with their fear of losing authority over the populace they were ignorant of the natural world, of herbal medicine etc.. Attributing anything outside the words of a book written centuries before as the work of an evil that even they did not understand. But if they kept the populace ignorant and afraid they could maintain control. Demonize all other deities to the point of a hysterical devotion to their god.
So now you come to the mental conditioning of today. What has changed, not a lot from the fanatic’s point of view that still see the pagan as the agent of the great satan, the doer of pure evil calling upon demons from the far reaches of hell. Instead of just someone with a different view of the world and its mysteries. Compared with other religions of the world I have as yet to find a Pagan call for the eradication of any or all other religions of the world, the same cannot be said of several of today’s religions.
In conclusion, I suggest the next time you think of pagans, envision this, a business suit, jogging pants, a kitchen apron or anything that a so called normal person would be wearing in the very day goings. People are people it’s the fanatic ideologies that drive us to extremes.
Thank you for taking the time to read this
