The WOTC will be closed to Monday, September 10

We apologize for being closed to Monday, September 10. Lady of the Abyss’ son, Jacob, was four-wheeling with some of the boys around the neighbor while she was at the doctor. They were riding a trail that they have rode for years. While on this trail, Jacob’s four wheeler hit a fallen branch. The branch flipped the four wheeler and threw Jacob from the four-wheeler. He hit a tree and was knocked out. The guys he was with picked him up and carried him back to the cabin. Lady A was arriving home as she saw the guys bringing Jacob home. She immediately panicked and called 911. He was still out when the ambulance arrived. He was taken to the hospital. He had an cat scan ran on his brain. He has a concussion plus a broken arm. He arm had to have immediate surgery on it. It had a bone showing through. He came out of the surgery fine. He also woke up while in the ICU unit. The doctors said there was no damage or injury to his head and brain. His arm will be fine but it will be in a cast for several weeks. Jacob was extremely fortunate that he came out of this wreck with only a few injuries. After looking at the four-wheeler, it is astounding he did not suffer more grave injuries or even killed.

 

Lady A is upset and decided it would be best just to close the site for a few days till Jacob comes home. He is expected to be released in two or three days. They want to keep him for observance. I am sure you can understand why Lady A made this decision. She has more to worry about right now instead of the site. There is no insurance to cover any of Jacob’s ambulance, doctors and hospital bill. If you would like to help Lady A out on these expenses, we would greatly appreciate it. We ask that you keep Jacob and Lady A in your prayers at this time.

Lady A also asked since there will be no chat tomorrow that no one takes over and run the chat. I am going to post this over in the chatroom right after I post this. The chat is open if you would like to talk to a friend but as far as the group chat there is to be no one.

Ajoite

Samhain's avatarEnchanted Circle of Witches®

In August 1941 Harry Berman[6] of Harvard University was collecting at Ajo, in Pima County, Arizona, USA. He found specimens of dark blue shattuckite, together with a bluish green mineral which he suspected was a new species. Berman and W T Schaller had planned to collaborate on the investigation of this mineral, together with other known copper silicate minerals, but Berman died in a plane crash in 1944, aged 42, before this study was done. It was not until 1958 that Schaller, together with Angelina Vlisidis (both of the US Geological Survey) studied the greenish mineral and determined that it was indeed a new species. They named it “ajoite” (pronounced ah-hoe-ite) after the place where it had been found.

Your Daily Rune for August 31 is Elhaz

917px-algiz-svg

Elhaz

Also known as: Algiz, Eoih, Elgr

Pronunciation: el-hahz

Letter sound: Z

Translation: protection, elk, sedge plant

Keywords: protection, defense, opportunity

Primary Themes Elhaz is the rune of defense and protection. Its shape is said to represent both the elk, with its imposing antlers, and the sedge plant, whose sharp leaves act as natural protection from would-be predators. Both images illustrate the power represented by this rune— a built-in protective force that discourages negative influences from affecting your personal experience.

Drawing Elhaz indicates that you are safe from danger and that there is no need to fear. However, don’t take the protective energy for granted by being reckless with your actions, as this rune does not mean that there is no danger present whatsoever. It simply means that as long as you remain alert and clear-minded and in touch with your intuition, you are headed for a positive outcome. Elhaz has also been interpreted as a symbol of reaching up to connect with the divine for support. By listening to your higher guidance, you will know which moves to make to stay out of harm’s way.

Magical Uses: Protection from negative energy and people, protection of property, strengthen friendships, astral communication

Your Angel Tarot Card for Aug. 31

The Star

card_150x285-angels-horoscope-17

Right now you’re focused on maintaining good relations with people around you, and you’re an invaluable support to them. Muriel can help you assert yourself a little more and say what you really think. You have a tendency to keep your thoughts to yourself too much lately. Unfortunately, this behavior leads to the present type of issue. You must find the courage to tell people what you have in your heart, even if the timing isn’t ideal. The truth is good, so stop trying to avoid it.

Your Tarot Card of the Day for Aug. 31

Ace of Pentacles

64

This suit, most often named “Coins” or “Pentacles”, is a symbol for a magical talisman that represented wealth or potential. This suit represents something supportive that is available to you — whether it be health, some kind of talent, a material or financial resource.

The Ace of this suit is usually pictured with a garden or agricultural backdrop, and symbolizes a seed. If this “talent” is planted and tended carefully, it will sprout and reward you with a good harvest. Think of it as a seed of your future fulfillment. An Ace represents the first step to a goal, and if that step is repeated, it will cover great distances. Generally, the suit of Coins are referring to the tangible realities in daily life, but in the case of the Ace, it could be symbolizing a winning idea, game plan or blueprint for eventual materialization.

Occult tradition sometimes interpreted this Ace as representing the alchemist’s gold — the light within matter, the 3rd eye of the energy-body. This recommends meditating upon the light within, and pointing oneself toward the archetype of humanity enlightened. By practicing such a meditation, one eventually gains enough control of the celestial radiance to heal the body, untangle the emotions and complete the growth of the soul.

If You Were Born Today, September 1

Happy Birthday liebe Milla

If You Were Born Today, September 1

You have a strong, self-reliant, and upfront personality but you also manage to remain refined, humble, and helpful. Extremely hard-working, you put in more working hours than most and care immensely about what you contribute. You tend to be at your best in service fields, but also in your own business. Although you get along with others, you work best with yourself and for yourself! A bit of a perfectionist, you like to oversee everything that has your name on it. Especially important to you is focus, because when you are able to channel your energies, you can do whatever you want. You are bright, inquisitive, and others tend to love to be around you for your delightful and unique insights. Always willing to lend others a hand, you are also an excellent teacher if you choose to guide others. However, you can find it difficult to ask others for help. Famous people born today: Lily Tomlin, Gloria Estefan, Barry Gibb, Dr. Phil McGraw.

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!

You have a stronger focus on, and dedication to, work in the period ahead, sometimes taking it a little too far. Taking the time to pull yourself away from your pet projects or work will help bring more balance to your life, and will ensure that you don’t neglect other important areas of life. However, you can make significant headway in specific areas this year, and you are likely to feel a strong sense of direction and purpose.

This can be a busy year on a mental level, with personal interests, studies, exciting ideas, frequent lectures, debates, or animated discussions. You are more assertive or forthcoming with your ideas and advice or opinions. You are highly motivated to put your ideas into motion. It can be a busy year for errands, travel, and trips. You may be more actively involved with young people.

This can be a good time for updating your electronics and technology in ways that open up new avenues for communication or ease. Wonderfully creative ideas can fill your head this year.

You are taking more interest and pride in your relationships this period. It’s a good time to strengthen and support others as well as to build trust. You tend to instinctively know how to behave in ways that boost others’ confidence. This is a good time to team up with someone to generate ideas or solve problems, or simply to listen to and be heard. Mental rapport can be experienced in your relationships now.

You’re likely to be actively involved with teamwork and collaboration with others in the period ahead. There may be the beginning of a significant new relationship or the intensification of an existing romance.

This can also be a pleasantly ambitious period. You’re bound to enjoy professional as well as personal opportunities. Your faith in your ability to produce and to win takes you places you perhaps never imagined. You are able to see the “big picture”, which helps you to plan effectively. You might enjoy significant wins and positive outcomes in competitive activities, including sports and business, for example.

Bursts of creativity and energy emerge at seemingly perfect times and help you to further your goals. Healthy risk-taking is likely this year, as you are more able to spot an opportunity when you see one. It is easier than usual to break free from habits that have previously held you back from going after what you want in life.

At the same time, you benefit from a grounding influence. Work is solid this year, and you can see results from your efforts, or at least foresee success down the road. This gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practice or refining a technique is favored this year. The approach that seems to work best with this aspect is a step-by-step one and the appreciation of slow but steady progress.

Travel opportunities are likely. Pinnacle successes can occur during this period – for example, publishing an important project, graduating, marrying, having a child, getting a promotion, and so forth.

The year ahead is one of constructive accomplishment and the embracing of change and improvement. You are more courageous than usual, and you’re open to change, but you’re tuning into a more moderate lifestyle that suits you well. You’re highly active, motivated, and enterprising in the year ahead, but you’re also grounded and realistic in your approach. Pacing yourself is important and natural.

2017 is a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is generally not as active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract what–and who–you want into your life now. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice – be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect, develop, build, and attract.

2018 will be a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It’s likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.

 

Your Karmic Number for August 30

22

Multitasking has you unfocused and disorganized. This number reveals that you feel overwhelmed and under appreciated. Somehow you got lost in the details and forgot about the big picture. You haven’t been asking for help because you feel a burden you didn’t work through from a previous life. It is okay to say no. This is a time to walk away and take a breather. Transform your skills of rebuilding the world in your mind into accomplishing something on a small scale. Take baby steps instead of attempting huge strides. You will thank yourself for taking an easier way.
