MANNAZ

The Self

Remain modest – that is the right of the oracle.  Be in the world, but not from the world.  Stay receptive to impulses, that come out of the divine in the inner and outer sphere.  Seek  to live the usual life in an unusual manner.

If you take the ‘itself’ rune and cut through it in the middle, you are going to receive the rune of joy and its reflection.  So there is a fine warning not to be careless. The acrobatically dancing energy of the balance is asked here to bring its higher itself.  Nothing in the excess – that was the second request that was to be read at the entrance to the delphish temple.  The first advice read:  Recognize you yourself!

Beith/Beth

Beith, or Beth, corresponds to the letter B in the alphabet, and is associated with the Birch tree. When this symbol is used, it is representative of new beginnings, change, release, and rebirth. In some traditions, it also has connections with purification.

Birch trees are hardy. They’ll grow just about anywhere, including on bare soil. Because they tend to grow in clusters, what may be just one or two seedlings now can be practically an entire forest in a few decades. In addition to being a sturdy sort of tree, the Birch is useful. In days gone by, it was used for infants’ cradles, and is still harvested today to make cabinets and furniture.

From a magical perspective, there are a number of uses for Birch. The branches are traditionally incorporated into the construction of a besom, and are used for the bristles. Use the white outer bark in ritual in place of paper or parchment–just be sure you only harvest the bark from a fallen Birch tree, not a living one. Ancient herbalists discovered that various parts of this tree can be used for medicinal purposes. Bark was once brewed into a tea to fight fevers, and the leaves were used alternately as a laxative and a diuretic, depending on how they were prepared.

Beith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time to get rid of all those negative influences you’ve been carrying around with you. Figure out what things are bad in your life, which relationships are toxic, and find a way to leave them behind. Instead of being dragged down by the negative, focus on the positive things you have in your life, the blessings and abundance. Use these things as a focus, rather than the harmful or damaging ones.

Magical Aspects: Consider the property of renewal and rebirth, as demonstrated by the Birch. Use this as a tool for spiritual and emotional regrowth, and developing your own ability to regenerate where there has been emptiness or devastation.

Hexagram Fifty – Nine 59

Huan / Dissolution

Wind carries the Mists aloft:
Sage rulers dedicated their lives to serving a Higher Power and built temples that still endure.

The King approaches his temple.
Success if you stay on course.
You may cross to the far shore.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated.
Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch.
Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms.
Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.

Numerology

From numerology.com

The numbers 1-9 are very important to the science of Numerology. The energy and meaning of each of these numbers is different, so whether we see them in our Numerology charts or wonder why they keep reappearing in our lives, it’s important to know what they mean so we can understand the messages they are sending us. The number 9, the very last of these numbers, has been on a long journey, and now shines its light of love and divine wisdom into the world.

What is the definition of 9 in Numerology?

The energy of the number 9 represents completion, but not finality. Think of it more in a cyclical sense; it’s about the ending of one cycle and the potential it creates for another cycle to begin. The 9 in Numerology acts as an usher in this process of transition or transformation, guiding and empowering us with its wisdom. It absorbs answers from a spiritual source, then delivers them to us in the real world.

This number is a humanitarian at heart. It is compassionate, kind, and intent on putting its efforts toward creating the greatest good. The 9 in Numerology has gone through its fair share of hardship and is wiser, stronger, and more aware as a result. These first-hand experiences make it especially understanding of others who are struggling and willing to provide valuable support.

Ailm

Transcendence, humility, compassion

Tree: Fir (Abies spp.) or Elm (Ulmus spp.)

Letter: A

Ailm represents the enlightenment that comes of perspective. Its symbol looks like a cross post-resurrection. “He is risen”, meaning He has transcended suffering and has forgiven His persecutors and all mankind to boot. In Iolo Morganwg’s Druid prayer, Ailm is the “love of all existences” that transcends the karmic cycle. Drawing Ailm in any form is a call to look at one’s own personality and to ask “What am I here to learn?” Ailm is a perspective that comes from eons and many, many lives worth of experience. Only lived experience gives us compassion and detachment in balance. Ailm is also the divine aspect of humor. When you laugh an honest laugh rooted in humility, the gods laugh with you.

Though our culture tends to devalue anyone above the age of 40, we can acknowledge wisdom that comes with age, not in every case but reliably enough that it’s a valid stereotype that a person gets “older and wiser.” Having a bunch of lived experience can be quite helpful when it comes to solving life’s problems and making peace with its predicaments. The truly wise neither rush forward with unbalanced optimism nor shrink away with unbalanced pessimism; their information is better than that. They have the ability to read the winds before hoisting sails and attempting to journey across the sea.

Hexagram Thirty – Eight/38

K’uei / Estrangement

Fire distances itself from its nemesis, the Lake:
No matter how large or diverse the group, the Superior Person remains uniquely himself.

Small accomplishments are possible.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are working at cross-purposes with another.
The distance between you is very wide.
The gap can be closed, however, with no compromise of your integrity.
You are not adversaries in this case — just two persons addressing individual needs.
Ask yourself: are these needs mutually exclusive?
Is there common ground here?
Must there be one winner and one loser?
Could you become partners in seeking a solution that would allow for two winners?

Eight

Positive qualities

The positive qualities of the Eight are perseverance, courage and a great business instinct. People of your type control everything that happens in our world. No task is impossible for you, no obstacle invincible. You clearly see every next step both on your path and on the path of progress. Therefore, you know exactly what and when you should do.

You are reliable and impartial. You act tough, but always fair. If you take someone under your wing, this lucky person can consider their life to be well-off, and protection from any problems is guaranteed.

Negative qualities

The most obvious negative qualities of the Eight are arrogance, haughtiness and their habit of putting a slight upon the people who are in a dependent position. Well, there is also a couple of canonical vices like wrath and pride.

All these are the indispensable features of your business life, so they do not cause misunderstanding among colleagues and subordinates. In everyday life, however, such manifestations spoil your image adding some rough and unpleasant features to it. Learning to control yourself, so as not to abuse the family’s angelic patience, would be useful.

The Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card Description

The Wheel of Fortune is one of the most highly symbolic cards in the deck, filled with signs that each have its own meaning. At the center of the card, lies a giant wheel, covered in esoteric symbols. There are different creatures that surround the wheel; the angel, the eagle, the bull and the lion. They are related to four fixed signs in the zodiac – leo, taurus, scorpio and aquarius. These four animals are also representatives for the four evangelists in Christian traditions, which is perhaps the reason that they are all adorned with wings.

The books that each of the creatures hold represents the Torah which communicates wisdom and self-understanding. The snake indicates the act of descending into material world. On the wheel itself, rides a sphinx that sits at the top, and what appears to be either a devil, or Anubis himself arising at the bottom. These two Egyptian figures are representative of both the wisdom of the gods and kings (in the case of the sphinx) and the underworld (Anubis). They are rotating forever, in a cycle, and suggests that as one comes up, the other goes down.

PERTH

A SECRET GAIN

There is a belief that the Norse runes bring out power the people had present within themselves. They are all connected and can interact continuously. It is not easy to recognize what a person can gain in life from them. It is the mystery that helps people heal their bodies and souls. Some of the mysteries can be found in the form of personal gains, metal surprises that can come out of nowhere, helping people and their souls in the process.

Tinne/Teine

T stands for Tinne, or Teine, the Holly tree. This evergreen plant is connected to immortality, unity, courage, and the stability of hearth and home. Pronounced chihnn-uh by the Celts, the wood of the Holly was often used in the construction of weapons, and is known as a plant of warriors and protectors.

In the pre-Christian British Isles, the Holly was often associated with protection–planting a hedge around your home would keep malevolent spirits out, thanks in no small part to the sharp spikes on the leaves. In Celtic myth, the concept of the Holly King and the Oak King symbolizes the changing of the seasons, and the transition of the earth from the growing time to the dying season.

When Christianity moved into the Celtic lands, the new religion associated the Holly plant with the story of Jesus. The poky spikes on the leaves represent the crown of thorns worn by Jesus on the cross, and the bright red berries symbolize his blood.

Fire on the Mountain, catastrophic to man, a passing annoyance to the Mountain:
The Superior Person waits for wisdom and clarity before exacting Justice, then lets no protest sway him.

Find satisfaction in small gains.
To move constantly forward is good fortune to a Wanderer.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are a stranger to this situation.
It is your attraction to the exotic that has led you here, but you will move on to a new vista when this one has lost its mystique.
Because much of this environment is foreign to you, you must exercise only the best judgement.
You don’t know the custom here, and it’s too easy to cross a line you don’t know is there.
Because you are the foreigner in this setting, you have no history to acquit you.
Watch, listen, study, contemplate, then step lightly but decisively on.

A key characteristic of the number 5 is curiosity and the need for a variety of exciting experiences in order to feel fulfilled. It craves freedom and adventure and isn’t afraid to let the wind carry it where it may. For the 5, life isn’t about setting goals and making plans, it’s about getting out there and experimenting.

Red Deer Stag

Stag symbolism and meanings include stamina, virility, grace, instincts, maturity, regeneration, and spiritual enlightenment. The stag – sometimes referred to as hart – is exalted among other deer. He is mature and experienced, having endured life’s challenges, and he has a massive crown of antlers to show for it. Because stags are native to every continent, except Australia and Antarctica, they are subjects in the mythology and folklore of many ancient cultures. In addition, the stag spirit animal appears in the spiritual belief systems of cultures around the world.

Straif

Resilience through hardship, hardening off, discipline, sacrifice

Tree: Blackthorn/Sloe (Prunus spp.)

Letter: Z

When you get mad or hate something because it goes against your grain, you have choices. You can wallow in your anger and lash out foolishly, which effectively makes you act in sympathy with that which you despise. You can do nothing/go the pacifist route and try to repress your anger, which will cause it to build up and eat at you from the inside in the form of depression. Thirdly, you can use your anger as a starting point or what is called a thrust block from which to make yourself so completely different from what is causing you anger that you end up rising above it and beating it at its game. Strife can either drag you down or raise you up by making you more resilient, but it is all in how you choose to handle it.

When you draw Straif, there is an experience being put in your way that isn’t pleasant. This experience can be transformed into a learning tool if you can work it out. Straif is a battle you must fight and often a disruption in routine. Just as a sword must be subjected to multiple processes to become sharp, sparks are going to have to fly before you can forge your destiny. You may need to sacrifice in order to become a stronger, better human being.

By admitting (not repressing), analyzing, and dealing with your dark emotions instead of allowing them to call the shots, drawing Straif well-dignified points to the real possibility you’ve dodged a nasty bit of strife because you’ve already learned not to be fear’s or anger’s puppet.

I / Providing Nourishment

Beneath the immobile Mountain the arousing Thunder stirs:
The Superior Person preserves his freedom under oppressive conditions by watching what comes out of his mouth, as well as what goes in.

Endure and good fortune will come.
Nurture others in need, as if you were feeding yourself.
Take care not to provide sustenance for those who feed off others.
Stay as high as possible on the food chain.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are a conduit in this instance, able to provide the sustenance needed by others.
Position yourself to nourish the truly needy and worthy.
Avoid situations where you might be coerced into supporting the parasites and vermin who deprive your true charges.
Your own nourishment is an issue here, too.
Remember Lao Tzu’s three Great Treasures:
Only the person possessed of Compassion, Modesty and Frugality can remain fit enough to stay free of desperation and keep control of the situation.

Thursday

Thursday (Thor’s day)

Planet: Jupiter

Colors: Purple, Deep Blue

Crystals: Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite, Tin

Aroma: Melissa, Clove, Oakmoss, Jupiter Oil, Cinnamon, Musk, Nutmeg, and Sage

Herb: Cinquefoil Ruled by the planet Jupiter and dedicated to Thor, god of thunder and agricultural work. His parallels in various European Traditions include Zeus, Taranis, Perun, and Perkunas.

Magical aspects: controlled optimism, energetic growth, physical well-being, material success, expansion, money/wealth, prosperity, leadership, and generosity.

Thursday is the day of Jupiter, the largest of the planets and said to be the most powerful. Spellcasters would be wise to use this day for attempting wealth, success and prosperity spells.

Thursday is also associated (in Greek mythology) to Thor – Thor’s day – and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same. Both are strong and powerful, yet wise and just. Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect. This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion.

 

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends Here is a Thought for Today

Staring Sunday, May 28th I am taking Sundays off from everything connected to WOTC.

Big Dawg and I need one day of the week just for us and our fur kids or family or yardwork or whatever we feel like doing. Plus I have found taking a day off is what I need to want to continue to bring you the regular and sometimes extra posts for the rest of the week. Also cutting down the number of hours I work on all things related to Witches of The Craft has helped a whole lot for my mental and physical health. That is why I posted those three surveys to see where I could cut down on the number of emails you get from us and what I could cut from the regular daily posts.

I am setting up a Patreon website that will have more advanced spells weekly, a ritual once a month and other content not available on WOTC. I am working on it a little each day and hope to launch it by the end of this week. Life in The Craft magazine will also be available through it starting with Lammas/Imbolc 2023 issue. The name of the website will be WOTC’s Lady Carla Beltane’s Grimoire. More on this project once it is launched. You can get on the wait list for Patreon by clicking on this link  WOTCs Lady Carla Beltane’s Grimoire Wait List

Have a fantastic Monday everyone!!

Some Information about a Touchy Subject – Domestic Violence

I want to touch on what maybe a very sensitive subject for some domestic violence and abuse. I have bee in this type of relationship more than once in my current lifetime and now that I have a man who treats me as an equal with love and caring I look back on those other relationships with fear that I was caught in the repeating cycle of not feeling as great about who I am. I am not going to get on a soap box and tell any of you to say in a relationship or not. I will say if you feel stuck getting told how dumb or worthless or fat or whatever negative thing your partner says to you, you may want to revaluate why you say in the relationship. Most of the time people, yes this goes for men also, in a relationship that puts them down and feeling like a second-class person is because they do not feel they are worthy of having a better partner or the biggest reason is financial. Please talk with the Gods, Goddesses, your Spirit Guides, or someone you trust to not go back to your partner with what you say to them about him or her and listen for their guidance.

Below is a link for toll free numbers for the United States that you can call for all different kinds of help no matter what your age. If you know someone in a bad living environment or relationship, please pass this link on to them or even post it on your social media pages as you never know who these phone numbers might help.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends Here is a Thought for Today

I woke up in the middle of the night with my right ear feeling like there was fluid in it so I laid on that side and twisted my neck until I could feel it starting to come out and fell back to sleep. When I woke up this morning the ear felt heavy and full. Thinking ok I got a bad ear infection again but when I stuck my finger into it thinking it there was an air bubble not allowing the rest of the fluid to drain, I had blood on it. Scared? Definitely!! I rolled up the end of a tissue and put it in my ear it was soaked with blood when I pulled it out. So, I kept doing this until the tissue came out still white. I have no idea why it started bleeding last night but I can feel fluid back in my ear again. I am thinking a trip to an urgent care facility might be called for. Has anyone had this type of thing happen to them? If you did…Do you know what caused it?

Keep in mind I am almost totally deaf in my left ear from an inherited condition so having something wrong with my right ear really scares me. There is no way after being able to hear things for 65 years that I want to be deaf but if that happens I will deal with it.

Spell – White magic Jupiter spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

White magic Jupiter spell

by Tina Caro

This white magick spell is well known and is a simple ritual to obtain money, thanks to the help of the force of the planet Jupiter.

If we want to give more strength to the ritual, the Thursday that must be chosen should be in a period of the new moon shortly after midnight.

Ingredients:

How to perform it:

Take the banknote and fold it into four parts.

Now place it in the copper container.

Create an ideal circle with the green candles around the copper container.

Now arrange the white candles in a circle around the green ones as well.

Then draw a circle with the coarse salt that encloses everything.

You will then have the copper container in the center surrounded by the green candles, which in turn are surrounded by the white candles, which in turn are enclosed by the circle of salt.

This composition is a powerful catalyst for positive energies and is also used in other propitiatory rites.

Now, light the candles, starting with the green ones, and moving clockwise.

While lighting the candles, repeat as if it were a chant the following formula several times and always in a multiple number of three (three, six, nine…).

Leave a certain amount of time between the lighting of one candle and the other.

“Sun, cover me with gold,
dress me in silver, Moon,
give me riches, great Jupiter”

Let the candles burn out completely. Then take the copper container and put it in a safe place away from prying eyes (obviously you have to leave the banknote inside).

It can be used again to repeat the ritual as often as you need it, always in the new moon period, always on Thursday.

A Thought for Today

Good whatever time it is when you read this. It is sunny and hot here but by following the Old Gods and Goddesses I still see a beautiful day ahead of me.

Blessed be dear WOTC Family. My wish for you and yours is to have an awesome day.

Spell – 2 Help Finding a Job

Spell – Otherworlds* Meditation

Celtic Shaman Meditation

When journeying into the Otherworlds* you need to be in control of yourself all the time in order to be safe when traveling to, in, and back from Otherworlds.*

Sit somewhere comfortable in a pleasant setting. Do whatever you need to do to not be interrupted during your meditation time. Make sure to let others in your home you need quite time all by yourself. Shut off your cellphone, and any other electronics that are in the room you will be using to meditate. If you are outside and it is at all possible be far enough away from playgrounds, roads, other houses, and other manmade noises. First call upon Archangel Michael or your ancestors or your Spirit Gurdian to enclose you in a bubble of the white light of protection. Do NOT forget this step as it may be very important if you run into anything nasty on your travel. Make sure you have a glass of water sitting close to you to drink when you come back from your journey by sipping as it will help you refocus on the material world, we live in also you may be a little dehydrated when you come back.

I have an unused set of railroad tracks that run very close to my home. To the left of them is a good size steep hill of a small forest. To the left of them is a decent size tree line. The tracks lead into a forested area the butts up against an old quarry that has been used in many years the locals say. I have mentioned about all the different wildlife I see on an almost daily basis – deer, rabbits, fox, coyote, squirrels, a couple of groundhogs, bald eagles, hawks, sparrows, finches, cardinals, robins, and birds I have no idea what they are called. This forested aera and quarry are where they live so I am careful to take a can of air with me in case the coyote or fox don’t want me around…lol. I have used it once in the over 2 years I have lived in this area and that was at an off leashed dog running straight at me! ok I got a little off track here, any who this is where I enjoy meditating the most even with snow on the ground. Star [Chihuahua will be 11 years old on March 30, 2023] loves to go explorering with me but Cleo likes to stay home now that she is getting older [Min-Pin14 years old on February 11, 2023].

In our home which is really small, 5 rooms including our bathroom a small mudroom. I will take a favorite soft blanket into the mudroom, that is carpeted, light my incense and candles. There is no door but Big Dawg a.k.a Lord Beltane is very considerate and stays out of the kitchen when I go to meditate. I have just enough room there to set up a small table to use for rituals, ceremonies and spellwork when working by myself. I allow no electronic devises in that room except a light and our smallish deep freeze.

OK back to our meditating to travel to Otherworlds*… If you meet any type of being or Spirit, you are fearful of remember the white light of protection bubble you have called upon Archangel Michael, or an ancestor, or Spirit Guardian to enclose you in while you are traveling and retreat from the Otherworld as quickly as possible! But sit quietly in the half in and half out of your mediative state slowing drinking the water and becoming more in tune with the physical things around you. If you just quickly come out of meditative state some not so good things can happen like feeling very dizzy and disorientated. You may also feel your heart racing and either hyperventilate or have a hard time takin in more than a very shallow breath.

Many people, including have tried meditating before going to sleep at night and chose to lay down on their bed to meditate. I can promise 8 out of 10 will usually fall asleep as the meditation can turn into a relaxation exercise. I do my meditations in the early morning or after our fur kids have gone out for the last time at night depending if I feel like staying indoors or going outside. It also depends on how stress filled my day is sometimes I do one in the morning to wake up more and one in the evening to relax, center, and ground myself before going to bed.

*Otherworlds is a Celtic term when going into other realms, demission or astral worlds.
