Forever and ever.

Goddess Knowledge – The Sphinx

The Sphinx is an ancient moon goddess, the goddess of birth and death. Part animal, part human, she remains connected to her deep instinctual nature. Most stories empathize her aspect as a death goddess who carries the dead to the underworld. Often portrayed as a lion, she shares in the solar and regal symbolism of that animal. Her role as an oracular deity, given to enigma and riddles, points to her as the keeper of the great mystery. A symbol of strength, wisdom, and royal power, she reminds us that nothing comes to creation without some destruction and that sometimes to solve a mystery we must enter the darkness. This image reminds us that there is beauty even in the heart of that which terrifies.

Your Horoscopes for Thursday, Feb. 21st

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

There is a really playful feel to your chart, which could see you saying things you don’t mean just to get a reaction out of people. Try also to listen to the problems of someone you know has just gone through a major change. Ring now to hear what your future holds.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

In order to have a certain person in your life, it would seem that you also have to have people you don’t like in it, who are attached by association. This is not a bad thing though, as it shows how tolerant you can be when you make up your mind to be so. Ring to hear more. 

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

I know you feel let down by what a loved one did or did not know, but your chart tells me that others had no alternative than to do what they could, with what was before them. The home faces a major outlay, but one which is not necessary for you to pay all of. Ring for clarity.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Education is well starred and if there is something you wanted to learn, then this is the time you will find the best courses and teachers. Something you are offered for free is not a trick, but a good will gesture. Ring now to hear whose innocence can show you the way out of a current problem.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

It seems that in order to get the job done, you are going to have to agree to do things someone else’s way. This is not a bad thing as it can also put you in touch with contacts who can help you achieve a healthier bank balance. Ring now to hear which sign is talking babies soon.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

You know it’s the job that’s never started, which is the hardest to finish. You have allowed yourself to be taken away from what was and should still be your priority. A lack of energy can be improved, by eating and not snacking for your sign. Ring now for your future to be revealed.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

Happy times link to you not saying what you think is the right thing to say, but the honest words which I know are on the tip of your tongue. They will set you free my friend. Large building you visit, hold the key to a contract you will sign. Ring now for the finer details.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Why are you in such a rush when what is occurring now, is actually something to be savoured and enjoyed? A past mistake is on your mind for all the wrong reasons, but actually has very little in common with what is occurring now. Ring me for a strange love prediction.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Fun times link to you finally doing what you want. You have spent so long trying to live life to suit others, but you now realise, this is not fair on you. Time spent going over paperwork, can see you with extra money this month. Ring now for an unusual love prediction.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Family demand a lot from you, but that seems to be because quite a few of your close ones are beginning new lives and need you on the side-lines to cheer them on. Don’t get in debt for an idea which is only half baked. Ring now to hear which career you were made for.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

If your mind can conceive it, and your heart can believe it, then I know you can achieve it. I can see that you and a loved one have drifted apart, but from today you both take steps to rectify this. Ring now to hear why you have to be polite in all phone calls this week.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Something you had given up on being a success, is given a helping hand by someone who believes in you more than you do yourself lately. Run with this support and try to do things which signify that there can be no going back. Ring now to reveal how great life can be.

Happy Valentine’s Day

A Call of Love

This is a love spell using only words and your own sincere intentions. Face to the west (the direction associated with love and emotions) and raise your hands to the air. Repeat the following, out loud if possible.

I call on Aphrodite, on Isis, on Freya
Hear the sound of my own heart
Hear my call.

I ask to be blessed with love,
That my heart’s partner be found
I ask to be blessed with love,
As my magick spirals round.

Thank you great Goddesses,
I welcome your assistance
In my search for love.

After speaking the spell, concentrate on the outcome you are hoping for, and give your energy to your purpose.

Goddess Knowledge – Eagle Woman

Despite the fact that the life-giving and death-wielding Bird Goddess is one of the oldest representations of the goddess, eagles have usually been linked with the masculine, with a few exceptions (the Sphinx of Egypt had the wings of an eagle, and the Aztec goddess Cihuacoatl was also called Eagle Woman). This Eagle Woman shows a new marriage of the feminine and the eagle. SHe represents all an eagle stands for: spirit, valor, majesty, renewal, accuracy of sight, spiritual aim, and the ability to soar to the heights. She also holds in her hands a vessel, the traditional symbol for the feminine, for that which receives, contains, and nourishes. Here both sets of values are joined, emblematic of a different combinations of strengths that are part of women-born.

Eagle Woman is a joyful affirmation of our ability to break out of millennia-old stereotypes and find new definition the embraces our entire continuum of being alive. She teaches the women can express qualities of the eagle while continuing to contain and nurture.

Always remember the Threefold Law and the Witches Rede then your magick will work for the good. Even if you get so mad at someone you think a hex or a curse is what you should do there is a way to take care of problems without being concerned on what the backlash to yourself might be.’

Blessed be dear ones.

Goddess Knowledge – Pele

Pele is the fiery Hawaiian volcano goddess. The daughter of the earth goddess Haimea, Pele came to Hawaii on a boat. Killed in a fight with her sister, the ocean, sho took refuge in the glowing cauldron of Mount Kilauea (this is the volcano that had the major eruption in July 2018 – a link will be below) where she receives the souls of the dead and regenerates them with fire. In a tempestuous relationship with Kamapua`a the ferocious pig god,  she is portrayed as a jealous goddess, her rages manifesting as volcanic eruptions. Revered by Hawaiians even today, she carries the force of the volcano, with its molten lava flow, which even in destrud=ction creates new land. Pele stands for the molten, fierce aspect of life that is unable to do anything halfway. She reminds us that even in the midst of fiery eruption there s creation and new life.

2019 Year of the Pig Horoscopes

2019 Year of the Pig Horoscopes

See what the Year of the Brown Earth Pig has waiting for you

Stephanie Dempsey

Happy, content, and affable, the Year of the Brown Earth Pig (beginning on February 5, 2019 and ending on January 24, 2020) will cultivate a spirit of compassion and generosity. The Pig is one of the most lovable animals in the Chinese Zodiac due to its good nature, warm heart, and gentle spirit. The next 12 months will have a festive atmosphere that prompts everyone to lighten up and have fun.

Like 2018, this year is ruled by the Earth element, continuing the theme of stability. Transitions and risk-taking will be challenging. Pleasant routines, holiday rituals, family traditions, and conserving resources are favored activities throughout the Year of the Pig. In 2019, slow and steady will win the race.

Rat Horoscope

The charming, open-minded Rat will have lots to celebrate during the Year of the Brown Earth Pig. 2019 will be filled with festive occasions, which gives Rats a chance to mix with their many friends. Clever Rats know how to combine business with pleasure and will negotiate some lucrative deals at parties. Pig years are associated with gluttony, which can wreak havoc with the Rat’s sensitive digestive system. Eating a diet comprised mainly of fresh produce, lean proteins, and whole grains will keep Rats in optimal health this year.

 

Ox Horoscope

The Year of the Brown Earth Pig places great emphasis on relationships, which sits well with the affectionate Ox. As far as work is concerned, this is a good year for the industrious Ox to move up the ladder of success. Rather than occupying the same position, members of this sign should apply for promotions and acquire valuable skills that will improve their professional prospects. The social demands of a Pig Year can drain the Ox’s energy. Vitamin supplements and essential oils can recharge the batteries of this slow-moving sign.

 

Tiger Horoscope

The reckless Tiger should take some financial precautions during the carefree Year of the Pig. If this sign focuses on saving more than they spend, it will avoid trouble in 2019. Normally stubborn, Tigers will become much more flexible this year, making it a good time to break bad habits and establish more satisfying lifestyles. Tigers are extremely energetic and will enjoy stepping up their fitness routines. The Year of the Pig affords many opportunities to combine exercise with fun.

 

Rabbit Horoscope

The Year of the Pig is poised to shower many gifts on the cultured Rabbit. Financial opportunities will abound, since 2019 will put great emphasis on social connections, which benefits this popular sign. Work involving advertising, the law, and art will be especially lucrative for Rabbits. Educational endeavors will be challenging — this sign will have to study hard to do well. Because Pig Years are filled with parties, exhaustion could be a problem for indulgent Rabbits. Practicing moderation is critical for this sign to maintain robust health throughout 2019.

 

Dragon Horoscope

Working as part of a team is a good strategy for professional Dragons throughout 2019, which places a great emphasis on collaboration. The sociable quality of Pig years mesh well with this charismatic sign, making this a great time to find and maintain love. Daredevil Dragons can maintain good health in the Year of the Pig, provided they wear the proper safety equipment when engaging in extreme sports. It’s also wise for this sign to get routine health checkups, as Earth years reward regular maintenance.

 

Snake Horoscope

The forthright Year of the Pig poses challenges for secretive Snakes. As far as work is concerned, promotions and raises for this sign will be few and far between. However, smart Snakes will work hard to gain the approval of their superiors, thus paving the way for professional advancement in 2020. Home improvement projects are favored this year and should appeal to this transformational sign. As far as health is concerned, stress will be the biggest culprit for pessimistic Snakes. Practicing the art of positive thinking is advised.

 

Horse Horoscope

The passionate Horse will be buoyed by the optimism exuded by the Year of the Earth Pig. Part-time workers seeking full-time employment can reach their goal, provided they pour their boundless energy into outperforming the competition. Thoughtful investments into slowly growing companies will be more lucrative than risky ventures. Friendships will be a source of joy if the moody Horse doesn’t take out their frustrations on loved ones. Regarding health, road rage can cause problems for this impulsive sign, so smart Horses should learn relaxation techniques to cope.

 

Sheep Horoscope

The easygoing Sheep will find the Year of the Earth Pig quite pleasing. 2019’s emphasis on gratitude resonates with this appreciative sign. Regarding career prospects, the Sheep will be rewarded for their diplomatic and collaborative skills. Members of this sign that work in creative fields will do especially well, getting enthusiastic receptions from customers, patrons, or patients. Minor health complaints like coughs and colds can be avoided in the Year of the Pig if the Sheep gets plenty of rest between social engagements.

 

Monkey Horoscope

Fun-loving Monkeys will enjoy the festive energy associated with the Year of the Earth Pig. This restless sign should take precautions regarding work, however. Partying all night can have a negative impact on the Monkey’s career. Any professional setbacks should be met with optimism, as Pig years reward anyone who looks for the silver lining to clouds. The Monkey’s immune system may be particularly weak throughout 2019, emphasizing the need to eat nutritious food, practice safe sex, and maintain clean home and work spaces.

 

Rooster Horoscope

The critical Rooster can have difficulty during the happy-go-lucky Year of the Earth Pig. This sign’s perfectionist tendencies won’t get an enthusiastic reception from people who are eager to rest, relax, and enjoy life. If the Rooster is going to enjoy career success in 2019, they should learn to replace criticism with encouragement. When this sign obeys its generous instincts, they’ll cultivate stronger relationships with colleagues this year. Roosters can be accident prone in the Pig Years and will benefit from slowing their breakneck pace.

 

Dog Horoscope

The diligent Dog will be urged to relax during the laidback Year of the Pig. Rather than continuing their scrutiny of everyone and everything, this sign can benefit from savoring life’s little pleasures. As far as career matters are concerned, the Dog will achieve great success, particularly with new business endeavors. If this deliberative sign learns to listen to their gut and make snap decisions, they’ll fare even better on the job front. Regarding health, anxious Dogs can maintain good health by taking up meditation on a regular basis.

 

Pig Horoscope

The gallant Pig can be a little too accommodating toward others. 2019 is the year for this sign to put itself first. Confrontations can occur in the workplace, allowing Pigs to shine. This sign’s straightforward diplomacy will earn the respect of authority figures, resulting in a raise, promotion, or both. Educational endeavors can also improve the Pig’s professional prospects. The key to maintaining vibrant health during the Year of the Earth Pig is cultivating a joyful attitude toward life. An upbeat outlook will keep disease at bay throughout 2019.

Can Men Be Wiccan?

The more you read about Wicca and Paganism, the more you may feel that contemporary writings are geared towards female practitioners. Does this mean that Wicca is limited to only women, or than men can’t be Wiccan? Not at all!

Why Paganism Appeals to Women

In fact, Wicca — and other forms of Pagan belief — are not limited to one gender or the other. And if you’re reading this and you’re one of the people who is telling the menfolk they can’t be Wiccan or Pagan, please just stop it right now.

Although the exact percentages aren’t clear, you’ll find that statistically, many more women are drawn to Pagan religions than men, including but not limited to Wicca. Go to any Pagan event, and chances are good that the population is going to skew more towards the ladies than the gents. Why is this? It’s often because Pagan religions, including Wicca, embrace the sacred feminine alongside the power of the masculine. There’s a duality, a polarity in Pagan religions that’s not often found in mainstream faiths. For women, particularly those who were raised in a monotheistic, patriarchal religion, this can be a welcome and empowering change — especially since leadership roles are available equally to women in Pagan spiritual paths.

Also, remember that many Pagan religions were originally fertility religions. Wicca itself certainly is, and some sub-branches of reconstructionist faiths are as well. By its very nature, a fertility cult confers high status upon the feminine.

What About the Menfolk?

So what does this mean in terms of the guys in the community? Does it mean they aren’t welcome in modern Paganism? Hardly. Most traditions of Paganism have room for both the male and the female, often side by side and equal. Although there are some groups that honor only a goddess and not a god, far more are dedicated to both a god and goddess, or in some cases, multiple deities of both genders.

If a ritual looks as though it was written with a female practitioner in mind, consider a couple of possibilities. Is it one that needs to have feminine language in it, such as a rite honoring mothers? Or is it simply that the person who wrote it was female, and so it’s got feminine language in it, but is still something that could be adapted to a masculine perspective? For instance, in the Self Dedication Ritual on this site, one section reads as follows: …

A Thought for Today

These are only a few quotes by Dr. King if you would like to read more of them click on this link: Dr, Martin Luther King Jr Quotes

When I was in a speech class in college we had to choose any topic we wanted to give a 7-minute speech on. I chose to write and give a speech on how just 1 person can change the world. I used Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Hitler. Both men changed the world in different ways forever. PArt of my speech included how Dr. King’s followers mourned his death at the time and in some ways we still mourn him. While on the other side Hitler people even the ones he trusted most were glad he died.

America and other countries still have a ways to go until we come to a point of there being no discrimination towards anyone no matter what their sexual preference is, what religion they follow, what color their skin is, how fat or skinny a person is, whether they wear glasses or not. I could go on with this list but I want you to think and dig deep into your mind to find out who you think of as not being an equal to you because we all to some extent discriminate against a person or group of people whether we do consciously or unconsciously. I feel we are at a crossroads and have the chance to bury all our negative feeling of discrimination.

Every day for the next 7-days take a piece of paper no matter what size it is and write down everything you know you discriminate against. Take your time doing this as it will help to cleanse your spirit and some chakras as well. On the 8th day either tear your papers into tiny pieces or burn them in your cauldron or whatever you have that you can burn them but be able to collect the ashes. Now go to a crossroad if you can bury them if can’t bury them just pour them out of the container onto the middle of the crossroads. DO NOT LOOK BACK look to the now and the future to start helping to wipe discrimination off the face of Mother Earth.

One final thing to think about if everyone everywhere believes that everyone else is equal to them there would be less need for military personnel because there would be fewer wars and/or terrorist attacks. There would also be a world that could once again find how to live in harmony with Mother Earth and all living things.

Blessed be dear ones.
