A Recipe to See The Fae

A Recipe to See The Fae

On a Dawn morning or Evening dusk, find a special bottle, a pretty one that the fae will love.

Pour into it the following:

1 cup spring or rain water

1 teaspoon of Pink Rose Petals

½ teaspoon Lavender flowers

Add 3 quartz crystals

Add 3 amethyst chips

1 pinch of Faery sugar

Nine inch piece of pink ribbon

Hide this away in a dark place for three days. On the third day, again at dawn or dusk, in a place you think you might spot the Fae, like an Oak tree, backyard or mushroom patch in the forest. Even a potted plant, herb, or flower will do. Tie a nine inch piece of Pink ribbon around bottle neck. Next, close your eyes and spinkle 9 drops over each eyelids of your “faery potion water,’ care not to get it in your eyes. Next recite thie incantation and watch for the Fae.

Ribbon of pink, I just might think,
I would like to see the Fae today.
Special sight of Faery’s flight,
Send to me the way today.
A sprinkle here a sprinkle there,
A secret spell I say today.
Wispy wings and little things,
Are what I’d like to see today.

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953)

B.14. Skyclad (1953)
It is important to work naked from the start, so it becometh as second nature, and no thought of “I have no clothes” shall ever intrude and take your attention from the work.  Also, your skin being so accustomed to unconfinement, when power is given off the flow is more easy and regular.  Also, when dancing you are free and unconfined. . . .
And the greatest of all, the touch of the body of your beloved thrills your inmost soul, and so your body gives out its utmost power; and then it is most important of all that there is not the slightest thing to divert the attention, for then the mind must seize and mold the power generated, and redirect it to the desired end with all the force and frenzy of the imagination.
It has been said that no real knowledge may be gained our way, that our practices are such that they can only lead to lust; but this is not really so.  Our aim is to gain the inner sight, and we do it the most natural and easy way.  Our opponents’ aim is ever to prevent man and woman from loving, thinking that everything that helps or even permits them to love is wicked and vile.  To us it is natural, and if it aids the Great Work it is good.
‘Tis true that a couple burning with a frenzy for knowledge may go straight to their goal, but the average couple have not this fire.  We show them the way, our system of props and aids (i.e., magic ritual).  A couple working with nothing but lust will never attain in any case; but a couple who love each other dearly should already be sleeping together, and the first frenzy of love will have passed, and their souls will already be in sympathy.  If the first time or two they do stay a while to worship Aphrodite, ’tis only a day or two lost, and the intense pleasure they obtain only leads them again to the mysteries of Hermes, their souls more attuned to the great search.  Once they have pierced the veil they will not look back.
This rite may be used as the greatest of magics if it be done with both partners firmly fixing their minds on the object and not thinking of sex at all.  That is, you must so firmly fix your mind on your object that sex and all else are naught.  You inflame your will to such an extent that you may create a strain on the astral such that events happen.

 

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, February 20th

Our domestic ties are quite strong, yet we may need to venture out into the world anyhow, even with the Moon visiting her home sign of self-protective Cancer today. Fortunately, the Crab’s hard outer shell is symbolic of how we create boundaries in life so we do not needlessly put ourselves in harm’s way. Although we may experience stressful dynamics within the walls of our homes, they still offer us the appearance if not the assurance of safety.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It may be time to honor your need for privacy, even if you are accustomed to spending a lot of your energy engaged in activities with your friends and associates. You independent Rams often like to work alone, for your patience grows thin when others cannot keep up with you. But now your penchant for solitude might be more about recharging your emotional batteries so you can head back out revitalized, ready to conquer the world.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re more tentative about sharing your feelings now because you don’t want to risk your security. Unfortunately, keeping secrets can exhaust you because you have to focus attention on monitoring what you say. But your unexpressed emotions give you away today, so face your fears and resist the temptation to go quiet. Act proactively; engage in deep and meaningful conversations by choice. There’s no need to wait for anyone else to drag you into a conversation if you go there first.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

The pace of life slows down today, bringing you more time to integrate a recent change of heart. You may need to reconsider your goals or even change your position on a professional matter. If something totally unexpected is tossed at you, do your best to catch it in stride. But mind your own business now; any extra concern that you put toward someone else’s problems might only make matters worse. Realigning your priorities makes sense because you have plenty to do on your own.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s difficult to know exactly what you feel today since your moods can radically shift from moment to moment now that the Moon’s back in your sign. You may go from wanting to pour your heart out to a friend or lover to withdrawing to the safety of your hidden cave. Try not to make any long-lasting decisions until your feelings settle back down. In the meantime, let your emotions flow naturally without trying to change them.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although others seem to be looking right at you, you still may feel as if you aren’t being seen. You don’t understand how they can miss the point as you hold your head high and carry out your assigned tasks, even if your heart is hurting. Remember, if you are having an overly emotional day, a humble disclosure to a trusted friend might bring the recognition you so desperately seek. Take the time you need to process your feelings before you step back into the spotlight

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You vacillate between accepting the support your colleagues offer today and fearfully pushing them away. Although you appreciate the camaraderie, you also need to know you can be self-sufficient. Try to soften your attitude, even if think you’re being overly dependent on others now. It’s a sign of intelligence and strength to openly embrace help when it is offered. There’s no need to let pride stand in the way when someone wants to see you shine.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might be swimming in tumultuous emotional waters now, unless you can let go of the control you believe you need. However, you’re not in charge of anyone’s feelings but your own. Instead of trying to fix the situation by making someone more comfortable, concentrate on yourself. Once you’ve adjusted your attitude, then others may have the freedom to do the same. Turn down the noise and listen to your heart.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re content exploring your feelings in the privacy of your own space today. Your emotional security is extremely important now and you may not be satisfied until you feel completely safe and sound in your environment. Thankfully, you can journey nearly anywhere you desire within the wilds of your imagination. Just don’t forget to demonstrate your colorful creativity while you have the chance.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

There may be an expansion-contraction dilemma developing now as your normally cavalier attitude assumes a more cautious stance today. But don’t succumb to the pressures of social expectations. You can’t please others if you don’t acknowledge your own desires first. Chill out and give yourself permission to withdraw from the party if you really want some time alone. A little peace and quiet might be just what you need to reinvigorate your spirit.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not believe you have sufficient patience to hold someone’s hand while they go through an emotional meltdown; however, it could be exactly what’s required today. Alternatively, it might be you that’s the needy one at this time — making you even less patient with yourself than with another person. Either way, acknowledge that the expression of feelings doesn’t always fit neatly into a schedule. Being extra flexible enables you to stick with the process without being in such a hurry.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be challenged by relationships at work now because your lack of clarity makes it hard to confront your needs and recognize how they differ from those of your peers. Your extra efforts might even seem to be a waste of time today. Although retreating into your own world isn’t the answer, gently creating extra space between you and others gives you room to honor your own feelings. Once you re-establish your center of gravity, you will be ready to reengage with a more positive attitude.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although your current tendency might be toward isolation today, you still may indulge in romantic play. Ironically, your ability to enjoy yourself makes you more productive now that the evocative Moon is moving through your 5th House of Spontaneity. Try channeling this energy into creative expressions, whether for work or for your own amusement. Your dreams are the source of your greatest inspiration.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, December 30th

We want to demonstrate our love today because the Moon enters heartfelt Leo at 2:45 am EST, but positive intentions only take us so far. Fortunately, exploring hidden feelings reveals buried treasure as the radiant Sun aligns with transformational Pluto and realistic Saturn. If we avoid our fears, we’ll shadowbox with an unknown enemy. But shining the light of awareness into the dark can prevent us from being swept up in the current turmoil.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re driven to set personal goals for the year ahead, without worrying about helping anyone else. You may incorrectly believe that the possibility of your success could be jeopardized if others also have a chance of succeeding. However, this faulty assumption comes from your outdated belief in a competitive model where there are winners and losers. Thankfully, reaching your destination is easier now when everyone works together for the common good.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your drive for adventure could become irrepressible as the Sun conjuncts unrelenting Pluto in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Your current sense of urgency won’t likely disappear even if you try to relax. Consider how to satisfy your needs without upsetting your life instead of denying your current wanderlust. Fortunately, enrolling in a course of study expands your mind without distracting you with unrealistic dreams.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Steer clear of discussions about risky investments of time or money today while the Sun-Pluto conjunction rattles your 8th House of Shared Resources. You might believe that you will come out on top if you simply do your research. But flimsy schemes that promise fast fortunes should be avoided. Improving your position through a clever venture sounds eCancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s magnetic Sun-Pluto conjunction attracts intense people into your life and they could be significant to your personal growth. Friends or associates may reflect a part of yourself that you don’t want to acknowledge. Even if you want to hold on to the status quo now, dynamic changes are afoot. Relinquishing control enables you to flow with the strong currents, wherever they are taking you next.

nticing now, but greed could end up costing more than it’s worth.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might begin a new diet today, even if much of the world is happily indulging in holiday feasts. However, you’re not in your usual party spirit now because you’re thinking about cleaning up your act. It’s not that you want to have less fun; you just know that you need to improve your health and you’re highly motivated to do something about it. Relax; enjoying the magic of the season won’t make you forget your long-term goals.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The intense Sun-Pluto conjunction in your 4th House of Emotional Security distracts you from your career-related goals. However, you must manage the complexity of the current situation to realize your fullest potential. Sidestepping an interpersonal issue isn’t a viable choice today because your frustration could lead to a crisis. Bringing secrets out into the open might be just the preventative measure you need.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re accustomed to high levels of intensity in your relationships, but occasionally avoidance is smarter than direct confrontation. Unfortunately, you can’t dance around your wounded feelings today, even if you are not comfortable talking about them. Luckily, your prospects for real healing improve once your old hurts are acknowledged and shared with someone you trust.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be upset today if someone just assumes that your possessions are for communal property. You could overreact and even grow hostile if what you own feels like an extension of your identity. However, your current attachment to your toys isn’t very sensible. If you can’t share what you have now, then you probably shouldn’t be playing with others. Setting clear boundaries is one thing, but there’s no reason to be unkind to those around you.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A passionate Sun-Pluto conjunction occurs in your 1st House of Self, giving you an apparently endless supply of energy. But feeling all that power is a double-edged sword today, for you may be driven by psychological forces that you don’t understand. One strategy for handling your current intensity is to channel your intentions in a constructive manner. For example, writing down your goals and then stating them aloud is the first step to fulfilling your dreams.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want to care for someone special today, but it might not be such a good idea if you haven’t been asked to help. An emotionally awkward situation could develop if you assist others who do not want your interference. If anyone refuses your aid now, just be gracious and politely wish them well. Don’t hold on to feelings of rejection or all your good intentions will be for naught.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Weekend of December 28 – 30

Weekend Love Horoscopes

December 28 – 30: Dramarama

Jeff Jawer

Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

 

We head into the last weekend of the year on an intense note, with a Full Moon inhypersensitive Cancer early on Friday morning. A tendency to take everything personally could provoke defensive attitudes, so do your best to make yourself and others comfortable to create a sense of safety. Familiar people, places and activities provide a security blanket that is likely to reduce tension and increase trust.

There are no significant planetary events on Saturday before the Moon shifts into bold and expressive Leo in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Night owls may be ready to howl with excitement with a serious dose of manic energy as the Sun approaches a conjunction with potent Pluto that tends to push us to extremes.

Some people may be staying out of sight, settling in for a quiet time to keep nerves calm. Others, though, could be in a mood to push buttons that stir strong reactions. Just understand that there’s a theatrical side to the proud Leo Moon, which adds drama to our emotions. Maintaining a sense of humor allows us to watch the show, or even play a central role in it, without taking it or ourselves too seriously.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, December 28th

Our dreams can overflow their boundaries like the sea at high tide because today’s Full Moon in emotional Cancer at 5:21 am EST activates the power of our subconscious minds. Our inner fears are pitted against our outer responsibilities as the ambitious Capricorn Sun drives us to overachieve without regard for the needs of others. The Moon’s anxious aspects to radical Uranus and relentless Pluto push deeply rooted tensions up to the surface.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Today’s Cancer Full Moon may stress your life with career issues that motivate you to rethink your overall life path. One of your important considerations is the sacrifice of emotional safety you need to make to reach your goals. Asking important questions now can propel you into action. Although others might see you as acting too aggressively, do whatever you must to get yourself back on track.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

If you are insecure about your communication abilities, today may be a great day to push through these self-limiting thoughts now that the Cancer Full Moon shines in your 3rd House of Information. It’s not important what others are saying; how you feel about yourself is more crucial. If you start from a place of low self-esteem, then nothing on the outside will make you feel OK. Fortunately, doing the necessary inner work gives you a confidence boost and a much-needed attitude adjustment.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your thoughts might be moving so fast today that you cannot even tell what you are thinking. You may have very sensible ideas, yet you can still ruin your chances of realizing a goal if you scatter your energy. The Cancer Full Moon in your 2nd House of Values is a reminder to focus on what is most important and allow the other activities to fall away. Don’t talk about anything until you are ready. Then, discuss your plan with passion so that others will take you seriously.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The Full Moon in your sensitive sign might have you worrying that you are misunderstood. You want others to acknowledge and respect your desire for safety. Consider, however, that your needs may be based upon old insecurities — and no one can fix this if you fear rejection or change. You might not be able to solve this dilemma overnight, but sharing your concerns with someone you trust helps you feel better about what’s currently happening in your life.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You really want to hold up your end of the deal but the Cancer Full Moon in your 12th House of Secrets may have you struggling in ways that no one notices. You realize that there are things you can do to help others, but you’re already busy trying to fulfill your previous commitments. You can’t do everything, yet your high ideals make it difficult for you to let go. Nevertheless, everyone will appreciate it if you don’t promise more than you can deliver.

About Virgo

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The nurturing Cancer Full Moon in your social 11th House encourages you to be a supportive part of a team. But this group orientation conflicts with your desire to take care of yourself first today. You intend to accomplish your goals in a very practical way until you realize that you might hurt someone else in the process of being selfish. Others will figure out what you are feeling because actions really do speak louder than words. Demonstrating your generosity of spirit is a good place to start.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s a real challenge to know what’s best, even if today’s issues seem vaguely familiar. You might not want to put up with the same level of job-related stress now that the evocative Full Moon is flooding your 10th House of Career. If you have been withholding your feelings, take a deep breath and release them out into the open. Just remember to be kind in your delivery process, even if you become engaged in a power struggle. Ultimately, others will appreciate you going out on a limb to clear the air.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The emotionally powerful Cancer Full Moon makes it difficult to walk away from a disagreement because it stimulates an internal frustration that just won’t go away. Just remember that endless fighting doesn’t lead to peace of mind. Instead, take your old wounds out of the picture and examine the situation from a fresh perspective. If you can find meaning in the midst of the current chaos, then everyone emerges as a winner.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might not run from your feelings as fast as usual today, even if you wish an unpleasant situation would just go away. However, your current intensity prevents you from just dropping an issue that’s important to you. Although rational Saturn helps you create realistic expectations now, the protective Cancer Full Moon floods your 8th House of Deep Sharing, cautioning you to hold back. Practicing patience and proceeding with determination prevents encountering disappointment in the days ahead.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your sense of reality may be tested now as you confront one of your most basic fears. The needy Cancer Full Moon stimulates your 7th House of Others, raising concerns that a relationship will pull you into unknown emotional territory. More than anything today, you don’t want to fall victim to troublesome irrationality as you attempt to stay on the safe path of logic. However, it’s crucial to balance the objective and subjective realms in order to have a healthy perspective.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may not be so self-assured today because the moody Cancer Full Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment, filling you with uncertainty about your job. Keeping your emotions to yourself could leave others wondering why you are more distant now. You might not want to tell them what’s going on, even if they ask. Temporarily shifting your attention away from your feelings is a good idea, for it will be easier to express them in a day or two. Focus on the needs of those you love as you wait for your heart to sort itself out.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The nurturing Cancer Full Moon lights up your 5th House of Romance and Creativity today, helping you feel more positive even if you are a bit overwhelmed. You may grow concerned if the uncontrollable swirl of complex emotions is moving too quickly. However, these are well-traveled waters for you Fish and it helps to remind yourself that you are totally safe. The sooner you recognize your own feelings, the sooner you can re-establish your center.

Your Magickal Charm for December 13th is Cancer The Crab

Your Magickal Charm for Today

pic20

Today’s Meaning:   

This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is emotional, loving, intuitive, imaginative, shrewd, cautious, protective and sympathetic. This could be an elder you look up too.

General Description:   

Fourth sign of the Zodiac, June 22nd to July 23rd. Ruled by the Moon; correct metal, Silver. Those born under Cancer’s influence were supposed to be keen observers, imaginative, strong willed, reliant, tenacious, impressionable, brilliant, reserved, exacting, and sometimes over anxious. The Cancer stones are the emerald, agate, and chalcedony. The emerald was most highly esteemed in ancient times, was believed to possess great healing powers, and to be beneficial to the eyes. Emerald talismans were worn to invoke eloquence, courage, protection from sickness, and by seamen to guard them from perils at sea. Emeralds were supposed to turn pale at the approach of danger.

Daily Feng Shui for October 26th ~ ‘National Pharmacy Buyer Day’

Today I’d like to blend the energies of today’s ‘National Pharmacy Buyer Day’ with October’s ‘Breast Cancer Awareness Month’ by telling you about a few supplements from Mother Nature’s pharmacy. Many health practitioners extol the importance of Vitamin D in creating healthy cells, protecting bones and boosting the immune system. Studies show that Vitamin D can also help prevent breast, ovarian and prostrate cancer. In fact, a recent study found that women with healthy levels of Vitamin D in their systems were significantly less at risk of developing cancer. Reports also state that a compound found in red grapes and red wine called resveratrol could also be critical in preventing the formation and spread of certain cancer. The author of that study, Eleanor Rogan, also believes that supplementing with resveratrol can actually stop the entire progression that can lead to breast cancer. As with any advice I offer that deals with illness or imbalance, always check with a qualified professional first. But if you’re looking to proactively end the fear of contracting certain cancers, then these two supplements are a great place to start!
