An Invaluable Reference Guide for Your Herbal Grimoire

Atropa belladonna (a.k.a. Deadly Nightshade) is among the most toxic plants in the world. The foliage, fruits and roots store the highest concentration of toxins, containing tropane alkaloids such as atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine.

The Witches of the Craft staff are in search of a “spinning” Wheel of the Year. One designed in this manner, is  usually comprised of several layers of wooden circles with different aspects of the Pagan way of life (i.e., Sabats, current moon phase, current corresponding flora), and turns freely to change the settings.

ODIN

The Unknowable, The God Odin

Empty is the end, empty is the beginning. Like the phoenix from the ashes it rises – from what we call fate. The surrender of control is the supreme challenge for a spiritual warrior. If you drag the blank rune, take courage. Trust that the universe will make self change in your ongoing life progress.

Witches Rune

Eye

Third eye, seeing the truth, clairvoyance, someone’s watching, the evil eye and protection

This rune is my favorite. The all-seeing eye. It represents seeing things unseen, also seeing the beauty in things others don’t. Can also be a warning of the evil eye or someone watching you. Or perhaps a reminder to open your eyes to a situation you’ve been blindly ignoring.

Ui/Uillean

Ui (sometimes interpreted as Pe) is Uillean, the Honeysuckle. Associated with the manifestation of will, the Honeysuckle starts as a small seed and creeps along, growing and spreading over time. Honeysuckle twists and spirals up and over its surroundings, its soft yellow flowers releasing a sweet scent. It is the flower of unspoken desire, hidden needs, secret wants, but it also represents our goals of finding our true Self.

From a medicinal standpoint, the honeysuckle can be useful as well. Dioscorides says,

“the ripe seed gathered and dried in theshadow and drunk for four days together, doth waste and consume away the hardness of the spleen and removeth wearisomeness, helpeth the shortness and difficulty of breathing, cureth the hicket (hiccough), etc. A syrup made of the flowers is good to be drunk against diseases of the lungs and spleen.”

Uillean Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means you need to allow yourself the freedom to pursue your desire. If you’ve got hopes or dreams that are unattained, now is your time to start considering whether they’re remain just dreams, or become reality. Denying yourself the chance to enjoy life is unfair.

Magical Aspects: Take the time to experience joy, but make sure you stay true to your values and beliefs as well. In many Wiccan traditions, the Charge of the Goddess is quoted as a reminder of this: All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Another aspect of this symbol is that sometimes, mysteries which seem to be hidden may not be as hard to delve into as you think–sometimes, you’ve just been sidetracked by distractions.

I Ching

Hexagram Seventeen/17

Name: Sui.

Keyphrase: Following.

Formed By The Trigrams: Lake over Thunder.

General: Balancing the heart and mind of leadership will help assure steady progress.

Love: Show your partner what you require by example rather than words. be gentle with them.

Business: Hard work needs to be balanced by rest.

Personal: Plan for gradual progress and make sure that hard work is balanced by rest.

Overview: Sui indicates that you should lead by example rather than just telling everyone what to do. It indicates a time where gradual progress should be the plan and that work should be balanced with periods of rest. Effective leadership is about serving, not about power and ego. A leader has obligations to all those that work for him and this should not be overlooked. Learn the needs of those that follow you and if some of these needs need correcting then do so by gentle persuasion not by harsh words.

This is Me Today

I was writing a post explaining my Murphy’s Law day and it went belly up. Having to reset my computer – that did no good. So now it will be a factory rest. Yes, I have anything important backed up to my OneDrive account. Finding a bunch of emails starting from around mid November in my WOTC email account that had never showed up before today. Having my decades old AOL email account go belly up and making a Gmail account for my apprentices and those inquiring about studying with me. Keep this in mind I have only had 1 other Gmail account and that was closed in 2019 but had a secretary doing the hard work, I just had to go in an read emails he had stared for my attention.  Plus every regular daily post I have tried to messes up. So yep I may be bald or in a special jacket in a rubber room before the day is over. The silver lining is my day can only get better. I am going to try to work from my 3 year old, slow desktop computer while this laptop gets wiped clean.

I still have not figured out why my Officejet 4560 all-in-one was working fine Friday and I have not been able to print or copy anything since than.

I know I will not get extra daily posts like Today in History or Astronomy Picture of the Day or a Spell for Today or Wednesday’s Correspondences or A Laugh for Today done. But I will try to do the Daily and Birthday Horoscopes, Current Moon Phase, and Planetary Positions done as quickly as my desktop will do it. I am hoping to find a good thought for today that pertains to what I and I am sure others are going through today.

Dear Sisters and Brothers and Honoree Guests please wish my luck in getting all my computer related messes taking care of today. Oh yeah and that I do not just chuck them out the front door LOL! Thank you for your stead fast support, encouraging words, and positive energy you send my way, alll of it really does help to change my mind set.

My mantra for today – My day can only get better and it will
