Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! The Pagan Serenity Prayer – Printable
I really needed to read this again today as all week thanks mostly to the weather and high, for where I live, temperatures, I have been playing catch up every morning. Sunday’s regular posts will go up on Sunday and the same for Monday and Tuesday’s regular posts. Between brown outs, headaches from it being too hot and humid, getting up later than usual because of not being able to fall asleep, plus Big Dawg’s process server job I just haven’t been doing what I told you I would do as far as regular posts. We are going to be on the road serving papers for at least 6 to 8 hours today and the same for tomorrow. We live where going from one town to the next can take up to an hour or more and in between all we see are miles and miles and miles of corn and soybean fields…the fun of living and working in a rural area. Hopefully Tuesday morning I will have time to do the tomorrow posts for Wednesday 🤞.
Wishing you all a great, magickally fun weekend!
Can’t Do Tomorrow’s Posts Today
Until it gets below 85⁰F in my small office area I can’t work. When I left my office space around 12:30 PM CDT it was overly warm. After quickly taking our fur kids out and feeding them I had to do some work in the kitchen that couldn’t wait until tomorrow when it should be about 30⁰F cooler. I sat down to begin doing WOTC work and started getting very sweaty and a headache. At this point I’ve already drank ½ gallon of water after my ½ bottle of raspberry ice tea (it’s my caffeine for the entire day) so I thought I was well hydrated. I looked at the small thermometer on my desk which read 95⁰F in my little office area. Guess what? That’s way to hot to be sitting with a computer tower trying to run. I’m sorry but I am done for today. The heat index is not supposed to go below 100⁰F until 10 PM or so tonight!

Some Tips to Help Animals Through The Heat
Disclaimer: No additives, even salt, or used for medicinal purposes until you have checked with your veterinarian to ask if it is safe for you to use it for any reason. The content provided on this website is for informational purposes only and DOES NOT CONSTITUTE THE PROVIDING OF MEDICAL ADVICE and is not intended to be a substitute for independent professional medical judgment, advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your veterinarian or other qualified animal health providers with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your companion’s health. WitchesofTheCraft.com and/or any staff member of WitchesofTheCraft.com and/or Lady Carla Beltane are not responsible for any type of negative reaction when using any suggestions given for your animals for any reason.
I have been working with dogs for 41 years and other animals for about 14 years after I earned my veterinary assistant certificate. The heat effects animals of all kinds even those in the water like fish. While we cannot do much for our wild animal friends or fish in lakes or other water ways or reptiles we can for domestic pets and companions.
If you do not have air conditioning or even a little window one the heat will affect all those in your home, then homes that do have them. It is just as important if not more so for them to have fresh cold water to drink as neither cats nor dogs have sweat glands anywhere but on their tongues. I make ice cubes with thinning down leftover meat of any kind juices. Whatever amount I have left over after a meal I add just as much plain water to it than pour that into ice cube trays. After they have frozen, I take them out of the trays and place them in a plastic bag that closes tightly or an airtight container and put it in the freezer. No matter what time of the year it is if one of our fur kids is not drinking enough I either give them a couple of ice cubes too much on or melt a few cubes into a small bowl of water. As for their plain water I change it about every hour and add regular ice cubes to it so they can cool down. If you sprinkle 1/8 of a teaspoon of salt per 10 pounds of weight on your companions’ snacks or food in the morning and evening this will help to get them to drink some more also. My Cleo and Star, both small dogs, will lick the salt off my hand and then immediately go for a long drink of water. Have a fan on the floor pointing towards your companion’s favorite place to lay to help keep them cool.
For the domestic animals that are always outside like cows or horses or goats or sheep or chickens or whatever make sure they have enough shade to be in and that however you provide them with water that it is full and in proper working order. Please check on them as often as you can every day in the extremely hot or cold weather.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! iT IS A mURPHY’S laW daY FOR me
UGH… I can’t even type right this morning.
Anywho…I will be getting the regular posts up, but they may not follow the normal sequence of posting because as temperatures soar into triple digits today, I got an email stating that, we will have more rolling brown outs. For those not familiar with what a rolling brown out is let me try to explain. When a lot of extra electricity is being used for say fans and air conditioners the electric company cuts power down in one area and puts it back up only to less it somewhere else. The reason they do this is so the entire City of Ottawa, IL or whatever city or town or village does not overload the power grid and everyone electrical power goes out and stays out until the company can fix transformers and other important stuff.
Yesterday when I came back to finish doing posts it was a yucky time. My computer was going soooo slooow the post was time out meaning I got a message asking if I wanted to wait or reload the page and try again, well words to the effect LOL. After trying to get up just one post for 20 minutes I gave up because I was so dan frustrated that all the post if they went up would be filled with my negative energy and I rather keep you from feeling it. These are times I wish our landlord would have solar power for our home then we’d be off the grid and my computer wouldn’t be finicky.
Well here goes today’s attempts to get posts done. Wish me luck and patience.
Stay safe and cool. Drink extra good for hydration fluids! Check on elder friends, family, and neighbors. If your area has one use a cool station if it is too hot in your home.
Blessings of good health from WOTC to you and yours during this heat wave and always.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! along with a PSA
Thanks to rolling brown outs and allergies I didn’t make it back to my computer yesterday to get today’s posts up. As Big Dawg and I have to go deliver court papers this morning before it gets too hot, I am unsure when today’s posts will be finished. All I know is I plan to do them when I get home.
For those with heat index warning please heed them, drink extra water or sports drinks or even vitamin water to stay hydrated if you have to be outside. Stay away from any kind of tea as it will make you urinate more which can dehydrate you quicker. Also, the sugars, real or artificial, in soda hardly do anything to help your hydration level same with coffee and other caffeinated beverages. This biggest dehydrator in these types of temperatures in alcohol in any form including beer.
I apologize for not getting this PSA up when the southern USA was going through their heat wave earlier this month. From the news up here in the Midwest it sounds like y’all are still in recorded breaking high temperatures. I know places all over our beautiful Mother Earth are suffering this year with above average temps thanks to an El Nino.
Stay cool as possible, drink extra water and/or sports drinks, and check on your neighbors who maybe elderly or have young children to make sure everything is ok and they have enough to drink.

You can ask the Greek Goddess Aphrodite for help in this spell as She rules over self-acceptance and physical beauty. I think She’s the perfect Deity to help you with your spell to lose weight.
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- A length of blue ribbon
- Piece of dried apple
- Vanilla oil (or pure extract)
Lay out your supplies and hold your hands over everything. Ask Aphrodite for Her help with these words:
I ask you Aphrodite to bless this ritual
To bring me beauty, strength and love of myself
Help me shed my extra pounds
To be slim as well as healthy and true.
Bundle everything together and wrap ribbon around the charm, leaving enough to let it hang from. Dab a little vanilla oil on it and you’re done.
Now put it somewhere that you’re likely to see it in the kitchen but not out in the open. In a cabinet or in the fridge, hanging by the ribbon (don’t just set it on the shelf). Remember your dedication to lose weight every time you see the charm. Every night before you go to bed, say a little prayer to Aphrodite for resolve the next day.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!
The start of another work week for some and the end for others. Enjoy Monday it doesn’t have to live up to the stereotype of a bad day. It can be whatever type of day you want it to be good or bad or indifferent.
Mine is going to be a fantastic day – the Sun is shining; Big Dawg and I only have four people to try to serve legal papers to and then the rest of the day will be ours to spend with our fur kids. Only drawback today is grass and corn pollen are very high where we live so unless I want to be down from my allergies again, I can’t take a very long walk in the woods and definitely cannot work in the yard 😣.
I was down all Saturday afternoon and evening, slept 11 hours, which was a good thing for my fibromyalgia to go out of the super flare I was in from lack of sleep, and felt miserable all day. Found out I was allergic to corn pollen as places we had to drive through miles and miles of corn fields left me with an asthma attack. But now that I know about this, I wear a mask or turn on the Jeep’s air conditioning for a bit as we drive through them. Within about 5 minutes in any direction, we go from home we have corn and soybean fields. Don’t get me wrong I love living in a rural area for all the wildlife and wooded areas I just don’t like the allergies that go with it. For every bad in life I always try to find the good in it also. Our physical life needs to be balanced just as our metaphysical and spiritual life needs to be.
Wishing all of you dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends a wonderful Monday!!

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!
This is me and proud of it!
I came out of the broom closet about 4 decades ago. I don’t just talk the talk of being a witch/pagan I always try to walk the walk.
Sorry for the missing days but living in a rural area it takes longer to fix things. I will get the missing birthday horoscopes up today along with some of today’s daily and tomorrow’s posts. I am also not going to have specific posting times for today like I usually do because I am playing catch up.
Still No Internet
I found out there was a bad accident that took out some utility poles. As my internet comes from AT&T above ground it was effected by the poles coming down. The recording says it should be fixed by tomorrow 🤞
Today’s Another Murphy’s Law Day
My internet is going in and out today. Why? I have no idea and I know I pay the bill for it this month…lol. When it comes back online ans stays there, I’ll continue with tomorrow’s posts
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!
Even though it does not say it in the picture this is an Irish blessing I heard often from my maternal grandma in English and Gaelic. Granted it came about after Christians decided that witches and pagans were someone to torture and kill but the words in Gaelic do not translate to well so this blessing was as close as it could be.
I would like to add this to it:
May only positive energy and the blessing of the Great Mother and Great Father surround you anywhere you go every day.

And that’s why I never argue with my wife.

Me : It’s Saturday, they’re both upstairs.
Wife : It’s Wednesday and we’ve three kids.
Happy Wednesday! I hope the rest of your week goes well!
