Banish Procrastination NOW

Procrastinate (verb) :

“To keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring”.

One of the biggest obstacles to moving forward in life is the habit of postponing tasks, in other words, procrastinating. This is especially true when it comes to learning how to become a Witch. We all find ourselves postponing our daily meditations or find reasons not to cast spells other do our witches’ homework. 🔮

A spell to stop procrastinating should be quick and easy to do, otherwise we will postpone the casting of this very spell! That’s why this simple technique works. If the habit of procrastinating has become your number one enemy, try this easy Wiccan spell:

Simple spell for ending procrastination without ingredients. Stop procrastinating once and for all doing this easy ritual and get stuff done once and for all!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • Focus

HOW TO CAST THE SPELL

Think about the task you want to do, avoiding the words “I have to…” or “I should…”. These type of phrases imply that you have no choice, that you won’t do it unless you must. For example, never say to yourself: “I have to study”.

Say to yourself something like “I choose to study now”, or “I am ready to study” (replace with the task you are about to do). This way of thinking implies that you have control and it helps you avoid procrastination.

When you’re ready, count down in your head: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 — and do it!

Quit whatever it is you are doing and get to work on the task.

Numerology

Four

Four, among the main numbers of the numerological core, is unwavering firmness of life position, stability and confidence in the future. It means your household up-and-running, strong family and friendship ties, reliable and steady income and the everlasting respect of others.You pay for all this with hard work (the legal side of the issue does not really matter), being reliable, loyal to the principles and dedicated to your job which is not something anyone can cope with. This is innate. So you are lucky.

Positive qualities

The positive qualities of the Four could be described as purely men’s virtues if thousands of women didn’t have them. This is high endurance, exceptional working ability, personal organization, commitment to principles and equanimity. You are firm in your beliefs, most important of which is that nothing in this world comes for free, and any reward is to be deserved.

That’s why people of your kind are the foundation of any society. They know what to do and can implement it in practice. There is nothing heroic in your manifestations, but all your life is a feat. As a consequence, only few admire you, but everyone respects you.

Negative qualities

When someone wants to point out the Four’s weakness, they first mention their stubbornness, slowness and tediousness. From a certain point of view, so it is: you always take your time not to make mistakes, and you’ll hold your ground up to the end without losing a chance to rub your opponent’s nose in their errors.

Moreover, you never hide your skeptical attitude towards rattle heads, shallow and irresponsible people. Therefore, you are often accused of being too suspicious, and your zero-tolerance of idleness and unwillingness to waste time on idle pleasures gives others a reason to consider you sullen and hard-grained.

JULY 29 birthday horoscope predicts that you are a Leo who is perhaps too idealistic when it comes to romance or life in general. You can be creative and inventive, but you are uncomfortable in the world of suit and ties. You always love to do things differently.

Those born under this zodiac sign are the imaginative and artsy individuals. You have a vivid imagination. However, you suffer from side effects of a stressful situation.

As a July 29th birthday personality, you can be an emotional wreck. Try to delegate your authority to relieve yourself some of the day-to-day responsibilities.

Anyone would help you out, as you are an expressive lighthearted individual. You enjoy sharing the latest technical or traditional information that could be beneficial to both you and your offspring.

If today July 29 is your birthday, then as a child, you may have felt like an outcast. You are not fully developed, even at your age. Age isn’t anything but a number to you, but following the rules is never out of style.

However, the July 29 horoscope also predicts that you have a yearning for money, power, and fame accompanied by a fear of failing. You can visualize all of this but have difficulty in putting plans into action.

With Leo on the loose, you tend to make a scene with all that kissing and stuff. You could prove to be a public embarrassment. As a negative, sulking certainly will not solve anything, and certainly, it does not earn any brownie points with the Lion, but you are very capable of being a big baby.

At home, the July 29th zodiac characteristics match your decor and sometimes, you may change your way of thinking. Those of you born on this day are known for little mishaps that normally don‘t last for very long.

On the other hand, you have integrity and a sense of what is right and wrong. Additionally, you have a strong sense of allegiance. You could be an observant Lion as you watch for every little detail. As a positive quality, you are an intuitive individual.

According to the 29th astrology analysis, the mature Lion is confident, maybe too confident. Your boasting may turn some off. Sometimes, your life is not all that it’s cracked up to be, but you will never admit to it. Nonetheless, you are brilliant individual who can be rational. You always know when things are getting out of hand.

What your birthday July 29 says about you is that you could turn all your negative qualities around by putting that energy into something positive and creative. Since you like to tell stories, you would qualify to be a great storyteller for your children. It will give you a chance to give back and perhaps feel better about yourself. It is speculated that insecurities replace arrogance.

People born on this Leo birthday may have a strong sexual desire and want someone like himself or herself as a partner in love. You may find it hard to separate love and sex. Although they go together, they are quite different.

You put so much effort into making your dreams a reality that you are eager to love. Let’s face it, everybody needs love and affection, and this Lion is no different. The perfect partner will pardon your faults as you have many good qualities. You, however, will not accept anything less than a lusty relationship.

The Leo July 29 birthday personality can be resourceful and ingenious but you know this and can be arrogant because of it. You can be humble and should try to change your attitude. Most people do not like you, but because of your level of intelligence, they respect you and your opinions. You could be a role model for some.

The July 29 horscope also suggests that you need love and are worthy of a loving relationship. You know what is right and typically do the right thing, but you are notorious for displaying your affections in public. Sometimes, you go too far, Leo. Get a room.

Full Moon July 2025 – Buck Moon And Alternative Names

The full Moon July 2025 comes when nature is in full-growth. Crops are either ripening or beginning to be harvested. The annual rite of you-pick strawberries wraps up in the beginning of the month and folks in the Midwest check to see if the corn is “knee high by the Fourth of July.” But why is the July full Moon traditionally known as the “Buck Moon” and what other names does this summer Moon go by in different cultures?

July 2025 Full Moon: Tuesday, July 10
Peak Illumination: 4:37 p.m. Eastern Time

Why Is The July Full Moon The “Buck” Moon?

Male deer antlers begin to grow in late spring. Antlers grow as fast as ¼ inch per day or one and one half inches per week during this period making them the fastest growing bones in the world. Antlers grow from the pedicel in the buck’s skull. The lengthening daylight in spring triggers the hormones that start the growth each spring. Buck antlers can easily be spotted in full velvet come July. Unlike horns, antlers are bones made mostly of calcium and phosphorus that the deer shed after mating season. Buck antlers lose their velvety coating, usually within a 24-hour period, closer to mating season in fall.

The “Salmon” Moon – An Alternative July Full Moon Name

American Indians in Alaska, including the Haida and Tlingit dubbed the July full moon the “Salmon Moon” for its timing with salmon runs. The Wishrams in the Pacific Northwest translates to “Salmon Go Up Rivers In A Group.” (Salmon migrate up rivers to spawn from spring through fall.) The sockeye salmon run typically begins in July and can last through October.

July is also a month when the summer runs of chinook and steelhead take place. Salmon spend anywhere from 1 to 6 years in the oceans before returning to their home rivers to spawn.

Gardening And Growth-Related July Full Moon Names

July’s moon is dubbed the “Time Of Much Ripening” by Mohawk in the Eastern Woodlands. There’s plenty of ripening happening across the United States. For the Shawnee in the Midwestern region, it is the Blackberry moon. (See our June Full Moon article for more berry-related names.) In the Northern Plains the Assiniboine noted the red berries while the Lakota named it “When The Chokecherries Are Black.” For the Algonquin from the Northeast to Great Lakes this is the moon when the “Squash Are Ripe.”

More broadly, the Zuni in New Mexico called it the “Limbs Are Broken By Fruit” Moon. Among Ojibwe it’s the “Blueberry Moon.” To the Oneida it is the “String Bean Moon.”

While the berries and fruits ripen, corn is various stages of readiness. The translation of the Cherokee Nation in the Carolinas is “Ripe Corn Moon.” Though corn in the Great Lakes region has a bit of time to go. The Potawatomi name this the “Moon Of The Young Corn.”

In Celtic culture the July moon names included “Wyrt,” “Herb” and/or “Mead Moon.” Wyrt is derived from an Old English word. A herbal garden in Old English language was a Wyrtyard. Wort is the modernized spelling of the word. Those familiar with the beer brewing process recognize wort as the sugary liquid drained from mash used during the fermentation process.

Gardeners and herbalists spot wort used in plant names like St. John’s wort, bishop’s wort and lousewort. Harvesting herbs should be done once the plants have enough foliage to maintain growth after cuttings. By July, most herbs can withstand harvesting.

In addition to medicinal and cooking applications of herbs, they can be used in the mead making process. Of course, one needs honey to ferment into the alcoholic drink. Come July, there’s plenty of nectar giving flowers in bloom for honeybees to make plenty of honey for mead making.

Hay bales are a staple of fall decorations, but July’s moon was known as the “Hay Moon” among Anglo Saxon culture.

Whatever it is called, the July full Moon is a time to appreciate the glory of summer ripeness!

Tarot Card

Source: Tarotx.net

The Three of Cups is a card that talks about celebrating and completing missions. Three young ladies dance in a circle and raise their glasses high. They connect with each other through emotion and friendship. The ground was filled with fruit, showing fertility and happiness. Each woman in this Cups card wears a laurel wreath on her head.

JULY 28 birthday horoscope predicts that you are characteristically independent and are full of energy. You have excellent leadership potential, and you possess self-control and self-confidence. You are truly a charismatic lion who is the life of the party.

Others say that you take on projects with a unique way of thinking. Unlike others born under the same zodiac sign, you finish what you start. Sometimes, you can be vague but get the job done.

As the zodiac sign for a July 28th birthday is Leo, you are sensitive to many situations that you feel compelled to deal with, as your passion is strong. Leo’s are characteristically warm and emotional Lions.

There is no mistake, as the July 28 birthday personality shows you are talented and creative. Those fields involving the media could be a good fit as a career choice. Otherwise, you are organized and have a determination to seeing a project to the finish line.

To those you love, you may seem to demand at times, but it is only because you care. Perhaps you worry too much. You have a great sense of responsibility to your family. You never leave anything unfinished.

Leo’s loyalty goes without saying, predicts the July 28 birthday compatibility analysis. It takes a lot for a Leo to give up on a situation or a person. You may believe in a cause that is lost to others as you may have an unrealistic view of relationships and people.

On the exterior, the July 28th horoscope says that you appear to be self-confident, but deep down, you are somewhat insecure people. Although the Lion may live by another set of rules, you are the first to blame yourself when something goes haywire. You tend to think everything is about you. You should not be so vain.

As a negative, the Lion born on this zodiac birthday July 28th can be arrogant and are likely to boast about what they have. On the other hand, you can be humble. Choose to be humble, Leo. It will get you much farther in life.

The July 28 zodiac predicts that you are a generous person. The Lion is the king and despises anyone that makes demands of them. However, you are likely to stand in front of confrontation.

People born on this Leo birthday like a challenge. Failing is not in your abilities or your vocabulary. Some people do not like you because of your controlling attitude and your bold style. As an independent Lion, you normally will not accept help from anyone.

Generally speaking, if today July 28 is your birthday, you have a competitive streak. People know you from miles around. Your reputation precedes you. You are on the ball professionally and personally. The person that is born under the zodiac sign Leo is a person who will likely be a mentor to someone who needs advice about the world.

The July 28 astrology analysis also show these Leo personalities to be characteristically warm and emotional Lions. The Leo with a birthday on July 28 is organized and is determined to have an extravagant lifestyle. Those born on this day are Leo’s who could seem overprotective, as you love your family.

Usually, you blame yourself for things not under your control. You tend to think that life revolves around you. You should humble yourself as others look up to, they do not like your conceited ways. You like to compete.

The reputation of a Lion is important, but you do not spend too much time on who doesn’t like you. As the July 28 astrology rightly says, you are independent, and you will not take a hand out or a hand up. When it comes to romance, you can be unrealistic. In love, you can be warm-hearted and loyal.

…

The Moon phase for July 28th, 2026 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact:

JULY 27 birthday horoscope predicts that you are a Leo that is unselfish, persuasive, and open-minded. Working with people can be an enjoyable experience for you as you have a humanistic approach to life and others. You are sensitive to other people’s needs and always ready to help them.

On the other hand, you like to spend time alone. Often people’s situations are stressful and can cause you to be irritable at times. Otherwise, the July 27th birthday personality shows you to be accommodating and very generous.

You know how to talk to people with your sensitive nature that is also patient. You give with your heart, and you do not expect anything in return.

This Leo birthday personality is one that gets a lot of attention. You sure are attractive, breathtaking even. Additionally, the July 27 zodiac meanings show you to be highly creative, and charming. They do not call you “magnificent” for nothing.

What your birthday says about you is that you can get along with anyone. Those with a zodiac birthday today are fierce. You can sell a turtle a coat in the summertime.

You are assured to have many friends because of this. You are just special and time spent with family, friends or coworkers, is time well spent. You make an excellent companion.

The July 27th horoscope shows that if you are born on this day, you are a Leo that loves expensive things. Your taste is almost elegant. Your home is lavish, and you drive the best car. Your motto is that you cannot take money to the grave. So, you spend it while you got it.

Money seems to come to you with ease. You feel that whatever money was lost, you can earn some more. Fast money never lasts long anyway. You are generous too. You do not spend it on yourself but help those in need.

However, your home is significant to you. Buying a home can be extremely expensive, and the process should be started early. Typically, those of you born today will want a place that is separate by itself.

You go out mainly to socialize and maintain friendships but you want peace and quite at home. You may need to call this Lion before coming over. The home is a place of serenity for Leo; it is a place you go to for relaxation. You may spend your time meditating. Look for an older family member who could have the perfect piece for your living room.

The July 27 astrology predicts that you as a person can be a real stick in the mud in many respects. This is good when policy needs to be enforced, but when it comes to other things like change, this can be a problem.

Leo’s are typically not thinkers but rather are creative and optimistic doers. A Lion born on this day is spiritual and finds meaning in whatever they do yet you do not expect anything in return.

As far a this Leo birthday’s career is concerned, you would do well in front of the camera, as acting could be your calling. You do have a flair for the dramatic and love to entertain. You, as someone born on this day, like to have the freedom to move about even at work. This would give you what you need.

Additionally, you make a great leader and are confident that money is to be made and not to make you. You are always busy doing something to make a dollar. It could very well be that you are a workaholic.

In general, the July 27th zodiac analysis says that you are hard workers, but when you relax, you do it big! A Lion likes to sleep or to lounge around at home. Leo personalities typically can do this for extended periods without complaint. It balances out I suppose with the time you spend working.

The Leo with a birthday on July 27 are exceptional Lions. You like people but tend to be private. You may need to protect your home. This is where you reinvent yourself for the next project. You have many friends, and you are not in a hurry to tie the knot. As the July 27th personality, you are busy trying to make a dollar and enjoy spending it as you see fit.

(One Person’s Viewpoint) Disposal of Ritual Offerings

 

Disposal of Ritual Offerings

A common question that comes up is the matter of how to dispose of offerings made during a ritual once the ritual has concluded. Disposal methods may vary, depending on a few things. For instance, does your particular magical tradition require you to dispose of offerings in a certain way? Also, what is the offering? Organic materials can be disposed of in different ways than non-organic offerings. Finally, does the spell or ritual itself include a method of disposal? Consider all of these factors when you’re deciding on how to dispose of a magical offering.

Let’s look at some of the different ways that you can get rid of an offering you’ve made:

Earth & Water

If your offering is an organic item, such as blood, fruits and vegetables, tobacco, or other plant material, you may want to consider burying it. A garden is a good place to do this, particularly if you have a compost bin, because the nutrients will go back into the soil as the offering biodegrades, continuing the cycle of life.

Some people choose to bury non-biodegradable items as well, such as candle stubs and incense remnants, but if you do this, you should make sure you do it in your own yard. Disposal of organic items into a moving body of water, such as a river or the ocean, is acceptable in many traditions as well – make sure, though, that you’re not putting any non-organic materials in the water. Use your best judgment here.

The Power of Fire

Nearly any ritual offering can be disposed of by burning. In some hoodoo traditions, burning an offering is considered part of the ritual itself – for example, Cat Yronwoode says that to destroy an item’s influence, it can be burned in the ceremony. You can also burn ritual offerings such as meat, bread, and other foods.

Sharing With Wildlife

Got a pile of seeds and nuts you used in your ritual? As long as they haven’t been tainted with anything toxic, you can feel free to scatter them outdoors for the local critters to snack on. One Indiana Pagan named Apollonia says, “My coven does a lot of rituals that make offerings to grain gods, so we always have a lot of bread left over. Typically, the day after the ritual, I’ll take it to a local pond and leave it out for the ducks and geese. They consume it, and the life cycle of the grain continues on.”

Also, don’t discount the science of nature itself. Some offering items can be left out until they go away on their own. For instance, if you make an offering of consecrated water in a bowl, eventually it’s going to evaporate. If you do an outdoor ritual and you’ve offered herbs and flowers, those are going to blow away at some point, and find their way to a new home.

What About Icky Things?

Sometimes, let’s face it, we do a working that involves something negative. Maybe you’re trying to banish a pesky former lover, or you’re trying to get that crazy fundamentalist lady down the street to leave you alone. In cases like this – particularly if you’ve created a poppet – you may want to get the item as far away from you as possible. In cases like this, simply because of the nature of the ritual, you may want to go ahead and find a place such as a landfill, a port-a-john, or some other foul place to be rid of the items. Just make sure you’re not putting anything into the ecosystem that is going to cause damage down the road.

In the matter of spell components, you may not always want to permanently dispose of the items right away. Depending on the purpose of the spell, you may choose to hide the item in someone’s home, bury it in your own yard, or tuck it into a tree. Obviously, your disposal methods are going to vary depending on the ritual or working itself, and on the nature of the ritual offerings that you need to be rid of. Use common sense, think outside the box, and find a way to adapt to each situation as needed.

Offerings to the Air Element

Offerings to the Air Element

 

When  we  make  offerings  to  the  air  we  are  thanking  the  universe  for  our  breath. Each  moment  we  are  held  by  this  element  and  at  the  moment  of  death  it’s  our  last   breath,  which  heralds  our  departure  from  the  mortal  body.

 

The  air  is  also  our  First   breath  when  we  are  born  so  honour  this  element  by  getting  outdoors  and   spending  time  in  high  places,  feel  the  wind  on  your  body  and  rejoice  with  song,   laughter  and  dance,  which  are  all  part  of  this  element.  The  air  is  what  carries  sound,  music  is  what  nurtures  our  soul  and  we  can   see  that  the  two  combined  into  one  exceptional  union.  Music  has  the  power  to   heal  and  transform  us.  Think  about  how  many  times  you  have  put  on  your   favourite  tracks  to  change  your  mood.  Mellow  music  chills  us  out  and  reduces  our   stress  and  more  uplifting  music  gets  us  into  a  place  when  we  want  to  move  and   express  ourselves.  All  this  is  the  expression  of  the  air  element  and  by  being  aware   of  such  things  brings  a  greater  clarity  to  our  daily  activities.

 

Simple  offerings  can  be  thrown  into  the  air  or  left  tied  to  trees  so  that  they   Flutter  in  the  winds.  But  make  sure  whatever  you  leave  in  nature  can  be  broken   down  easily  such  a  paper,  incense,  cotton  or  silk  cloth,  food  and  liquids,  things   found  such  as  feathers  and  rocks.  Never  leave  anything  that  will  affect  the  flow of  the natural world,  to do that will only create blocks and hinder your path towards growth.

(One Person’s Viewpoint) Offerings to the Fire Element

Offerings to the Fire Element

 

Without  a  beating  heart  we  have  no  Gire  within  us,  it  is  the  blood  that  pumps   around  our  bodies  that  generates  heat  and  gives  us  the  power  to  illuminate.  Deep   within  our  heart  is  a  place  that  is  eternal,  an  inner  sun  that  burns  with  a  light  so   bright  it  connects  us  to  the  very  core  of  infinity.  It  is  our  innate  nature  that  burns   with  wisdom  and  allows  us  to  embrace  life.  When  we  align  ourselves  with  the   gods  and  with  the  path  of  The  Craft  we  burn  with  fire,  we  burn  with  a  yearning  to   know  our  soul’s  destiny.  That  is  what  drives  us  on  towards  the  source  of  all   knowledge,  it  allows  us  to  heal  bits  of  ourselves  and  others  because  when  we  get   just  one  single  glimpse  of  the  fire  within  the  heart  it  is  enough  to  illuminate  the   entire  universe.

Although  we  have  an  inner  fire  there  is  nothing  more  beautiful  to  be  sat   round  a  camp  fire,  how  many  times  have  you  looked  deep  into  the  flames  and  let   them  speak  to  you,  they  lull  you  to  a  place  which  allows  visions  to  arise,   transporting  us  inwards  to  the  deep  seat  of  knowing.  The  Craft  has  always  been   the  place  where  those  who  follow  it’s  path  burn  with  the  passions  of  nature.  To  be   alive  with  the  fire  of  wisdom  means  that  you  have  opened  yourself  up  to  the  face   of  creation  and  allowed  yourself  to  become  enfolded  in  the  arms  of  the  Gods.  They   burn  with  the  same fire,  which  is  in  your  heart,  they  are  made  from  the  same  seed fire that  you  have  within.  The  Gods  burn  with  the  same  eternal  flame  that   illuminates  our  own  being  and  to  know  the  flame  within  means  you  come  to  know   the  face  of  the  Gods.  Fire  burns  away  ignorance  just  like  it  clears  the  dead  wood  of   the  forest  allowing  new  shoots  to  germinate  bringing  forth  new  growth.  We  all   have  dead  wood  within,  our  internal  struggles  and  our  ever-­‐conflicting  emotions   are  what  keep  the fire from  burning  bright.  But  when  we  get  a  glimpse  of  the fire  we  fan  the  f flames  and  they  start  to  burn,  they  burn  so  bight  that  they  produce  a  source  of  all  light,  without  fire  there  would  only  be  darkness  and  with  total   darkness  no  life  would  exist.  Fire  is  the  source  of  all  life,  without  our  sun  this   earth  we  live  on  would  be  a  dead  rock  floating  around  a  burnt  out  sun.  Devoid  of   any  life  there  would  be  no  consciousness  to  illuminate  itself.  We  are  the  universes   knowing  itself,  and  it’s  through  this  element  we  come  to  understand  these   wisdoms.

Offering to fire can be anything that can be consumed by flames or even a simple votive candle.

(One Person’s Viewpoint) Offerings to the Water Element

Offerings to the Water Element

 

Water  is  a  vital  element  for  our  survival,  we  are  within  water  while  we  are  in  the   womb  of  our  mother  and  we  die  very  quickly  without  it.  Because  water  is  in  such   abundance  on  our  planet  we  have  little  attachment  to  it.  Water  is  fluid  and  free   and  over  time  it  can  reduce  the  hardest  material  into  dust.  It  cuts  through  valleys   like  a  knife  through  butter  and  bursts  forth  from  the  ground  in  healing  springs.  It   is  the  lifeblood  within  our  bodies  and  upon  the  earth  it  is  abundant  and  Glowing,   unfortunately  we  pollute  it  with  toxins  that  are  now  bringing  us  close  to  poisoning   all  life.

 

We  should  always  try  to  keep  our  waters  pure,  they  are  what  carry  the   trace  nutrients  that  our  body  needs  for  survival.  There  is  nothing  more  stirring   that  to  sit  next  to  crashing  waves  on  beach  or  more  restful  than  laying  next  to  a   babbling  brook.  Water  out  of  all  the  elements  has  the  most  power  to  heal.  Our   ancestors  knew  this  knowledge  and  dedicated  many  springs  to  cures.  Even  in  our   modern  world  we  prefer  bottled  water  to  that  from  the  tap  thinking  it  has  a  purer   quality  to  it.  It’s  our  internal  emotions  that  draw  us  close  to  water  as  a  source  of   all  healing  and  I  often  wonder  if  it’s  because  we  floated  for  nine  months  in  the   waters  of  our  mothers  womb.  There  we  felt  safe  and  secure,  it  was  a  primordial   state  before  they  burst  issuing  us  into  the  world  of  duality  we  know  as  life.  How   many  of  us  enjoy  the  relaxing  comfort  of  a  bath  or  the  invigorating  power  of  a   shower.  Both  these  daily  functions  connect  us  deeply  to  the  element  of  water  and   draw  us  close  to  its  energetic  qualities.  I  love  nothing  better  than  swimming   outdoors  in  the  summer  in  open  pools  and  rivers,  feeling the power of nature enfold me in the waters of life.

 

A  daily  offering  of  water  can  be  made  on  your  own  personal  shrine;  it  is   something  very  easy  to  do  and  connects  us  to  a  source  of  connection  many  take   for  granted.  Water  is  the  best  substance  as  a  daily  offering  because  it’s  one  of  the   things  we  have  no  attachment  to,  we  don’t  in  any  way  covet  it  because  it  seems  to     be  around  us  in  abundance.  That  way  we  give  it  freely  and  that’s  the  spirit  which   should  be  nurtured  when  making  any  offering.  To  be  able  to  give  without  any   attachment  at  all  allows  the  offering  to  have  the  purest  quality  within  it  and   becomes  a  great  source  of  connecting  us  to  the  source  of  creation. Items  you  can  offer  include  water,  milk  and  wine.

 

You  could  even  collect   different  waters  to  offer  such  as  Sea  Water,  Lake  Water,  Spring  Water,  Rain  Water,   Snow  Water  and  Dew,  be  guided  by  your  intuition and may the hand of the gods always lead you towards your souls purpose.

(One Person’s Viewpoint) Offerings to the Earth Element

Offerings to the Earth Element

 

When  we  make  offerings  to  the  earth  element  we  are  honouring  our  body,  without  this   vehicle  we  would  not  be  able  to  experience  the  world  in  all  its  beauty.  It  gives  us  the   chance  to  find  happiness  and  joy.  It  is  the  very  vessel  that  is  filled  with  the  light  of   creation  and  inhabiting  it  for  a  lifetime  means  we  have  a  chance  to  awake  to  that  inner   light.  It’s  incredible  when  you  stop  to  think  about  it,  but  that’s  the  problem,  few  do.   When  we  walk  a  spiritual  path  it  allows  us  to  move  forward  on  a  journey  upon  the   earth,  this  planet  is  a  living  body  like  our  own.  But  how  many  people  actually  treat  it  as   such?

 

Because  we  have  disconnected  from  the  earth  we  have  become  disconnected   from  our  bodies  and  look  at  the  amount  of  self-­‐loathing  we  see  in  western  cultures.  The   Craft  has  always  told  us  to  love  our  bodies,  they  are  sacred  and  that’s  why  from  time  to   time  we  take  off  our  clothes  and  walk  into  nature.  When  we  meet  nature  naked,  we  are   free,  we  are  totally  beyond  the  trappings  of  culture  because,  once  again,  we  have   entered  paradise.  The  Craft  has  always  held  ritual  nudity  to  be  a  profound  act,   unfortunately  because  of  our  modern  culture  few  these  days  feel  comfortable  disrobing.   This  is  because  we  live  in  a  highly  sexualized  society  that  has  used  sex  and  sexual   images  to  sell  almost  everything,  the  images  which  have  been  used  have  been  very   limiting  and  exaggerated  leaving  many  with  a  sense  of  inferiority  about  their  own   bodies.  Remember  we  are  born  into  this  world  naked  and  when  we  are  free  from  the   trappings  of  clothes  we  also  have  the  opportunity  to  free  ourselves  from  our  ridged   identities.

 

Offerings  to  the  earth  can  include  stones,  salt,  soil  and  food,  go  into  nature,  take   your  clothes  off  in  the  warmer  months  and  feel  the  sun  on  your  body,  feel  the  wind   caress  you  like  a  lover  and  embrace  the  natural  world.  Make  your  offerings  to  this   element  and  thank  it  for  giving  you  such  a  beautiful  gift,  your  body  the  vehicle of your awakening.
