June 18 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

Today the Moon will be in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Introduction to NUMEROLOGY (Part 1)

The information for learning about Numerology is for beginners and a brush up for those experienced in Numerology. They will be split between WOTC and Coven Life. The post for the odd number part of this information will be on WOTC. The post for the even number part of this information will be on Coven Life.

NUMEROLOGY

Numerology is a science based on numbers and their incredible affect on our lives.  It is believed to have been studied as far back as 11,000.  Numbers have been in existence since the beginning of time and predates all alphabets.  

PYTHAGORAS was one of the ‘Fathers of Numerology’, and that was 2,400 years ago.  He was able to apply his knowledge and understanding in practical areas for the needs of mankind.  Pythagoras gained his knowledge of numbers from Egypt and the Near East.  Some researchers have found evidence that Numerology was practiced in Egypt as far back as 13,000 years ago.
Numerology is a tool used to investigate our own very being, and to bring light our highest potential on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes.  Numerology tells of our potential destiny, our natural talents and helps us gain a better understanding of ourselves and others.  It shows us the pathway we need to take in our lives to fulfill this potential, and also, tells us one of the many reasons why each one has different traits and characteristics.
