C. 2019 A Though for Today – The Witch Said What?!

c. 2018 A Laugh for Today – In Regards to Dealing With People………The Witch Said What?

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence – Wednesday’s Witchery c. 2019

 

Wednesday’s Witchery

Be bold and daring today! Expand your knowledge of the Craft by working with the planetary energies of Mercury on this multifaceted day of the week. Consider the Greco-Roman gods Mercury and Hermes and all of the many lessons they have for you. Embrace change and movement, and work on your communication techniques. Conjure up a little good luck for yourself with that Mercury dime spell. Call on Athena to inspire you to try magickal arts and crafts and to be more creative in your own spellwork and witchery.

Meditate on Odin and see what you can discover about him. I wonder what sort of fabulous and fascinating magickal wisdom you will uncover? Odin is a shaman, after all; he may appear in many guises and faces. I guarantee that he will make you laugh at yourself before he is through with you, but you will learn. It’s up to you what you do with that knowledge. Will you let it shapeshift into wisdom?

Wednesday is the wild and wily day of the week, so try to go with the flow; don’t fight the quirky energies of the day. Most importantly, follow your heart, and always keep a good sense of humor, because of Wednesdays you will really need it.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you have an emotional investment in your communications with others, which is why you want to get right down to the nitty-gritty. You want to talk about things that matter. You’ll be bored with superficial chitchat about the weather. Note: You might learn something today from a female companion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you have a strong attachment to the things that you own, which is why you might want to hold on to things and not lend them to anyone. You might also find yourself defending yourself in an area that seems to be hardly worth talking about.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you have a strong need to belong and relate to your friends and loved ones. This is why you will be sensitive to the feelings and moods of people around you. On the upside, your luck is slightly better today, which means things will tend to go your way.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It’s totally appropriate if you feel tempted to withdraw and keep to yourself today because that’s just what’s happening. Possibly, you will communicate some deep inner feelings to someone else. Enjoy your solitude. This is also a good day for mystical or spiritual disciplines.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your emotional contact with friends is important to you today, which is why you might find that you feel more protective and supportive of someone. Possibly, the flip of this will occur, and you will attract someone to you who needs emotional support? Could go either way.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to reach out and help someone today, possible at the risk of blurring the distinction between a professional and personal relationship. If you work with a group, you will be more sensitive and responsive to their general mood.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you feel a strong urge to get away from your daily routine and go off somewhere and do something different and stimulating. Of course, there is more than one way to “get away”. You might escape through books, film or conversation with someone. You might meet a new friend from a foreign country

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s easy to feel possessive about the property of someone else today because you want something that belongs to them. As a result, you might attract someone to you who is intense and powerful. Avoid disputes about shared responsibilities and shared property.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Partners, spouses and close friends are more important today than usual. Likewise, conflicts with others will be more emotional. Be smart and guard against knee-jerk reactions to situations that might be based on pent-up feelings within you. Easy does it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you will have to put your own emotional considerations second to those of someone else. You might have to help someone or do a service for someone. You’re not playing a martyr game. This is just what’s happening. Accept it and do what you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It will be hard for you to conceal your feelings from others today. You need to be yourself now and feel what you really are. Some of you are wearing your heart on your sleeve, which is why romance will have greater emotional depth today. (Your head is spinning.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It will please you to retire by yourself to where you live today to take time and do some navel gazing. It’s a good time to be by yourself to look at your attitudes, feelings and emotional orientation to the world around you. Observe your habits, and how they control you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson (1919-1972) shares your birthday today. You are a combination of creativity and logic. You are mentally alert and ambitious. You give your all to something that is important. This year is a lovely social year! You will enjoy life more, especially your relationships. It’s time to let your guard down and loosen up!

A Thought for Today

Dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may the Great Mother and Great Father, Lord and Lady, bless you and your family with all things positive!

Flashback 2019 _ A Laugh for Today – Ms. Witch (Wild and Crazy is in Rare Form Today)……The Witch Said What?

Flashback 2011 – SPell for Today – Better Business Floorwashes

Floorwashes are a traditional–and discreet–method of casting spells. The herbal infusions are used to radiate magickal power, drawing or repelling your desire as the case may be. Floorwashes are used to scrub front steps to provide spiritual protection and attract free-spending customers. Within a building, the term “floorwash” is somewhat deceptive, in general, this is more of a  “floor final rinse.” It is assumed that the floor is clean prior to applying the spell floorwash: the floorwash isn’t rinsed off, but should be allowed to dry and radiate its fragrance and power. The physical labor involved in applying the floorwash also enhances the casting of the spell your effort transmits your intentions and desires.

Applying Better Business Floorwashes

  • Scrub the walkway and the doorway of your business, beginning at the street and moving toward your front door, just the way customers should

  • Scrub the front steps

  • Cleanse the interior floors beginning at the front door and corners and working toward the center of each room

Floorwashes may be created with any of the following or a combination:

  • Boiled cooled salted water

  • Pure spring water (bottled water)

  • Strained, collected rainwater

  • Plain tap water

Flashback 2019 – Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Mondays

 

Magickal Applications for Mondays

Monday is named after the moon. The Latin term for Monday is Dies Lunae (“moon’s day”); in the Old English language, this day was Monandaeg; in Greek, it was Hermera Selenes. All of these different names and languages translate to the same thing: the “day of the moon.”

Working with the different phases of the moon is an important skill that takes a bit of time for Witches to learn. So why not cut to the chase and experiment with the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon in all of its magickal energies and aspects?

Magickally, Monday encourages the lunar energies of inspiration, illusion, prophetic dreams, emotions, psychic abilities, travel, women’s mysteries, and fertility.

A Thought for Today Flashback 2019 – Be Proud…….The Witch Said What?

This is one of the last few posts done by WOTC’s founder Lady of the Abyss. I am missing my dear friend and sister today so many of the posts for today will have been originally posts a few years ago by Lady Abyss.

Spell for Today -Moonstone Travel

When dealing with a weekly spell guide, Mondays are thought to be the logical day for money, love, time and meditation spells. Since Mondays are thought to be the start of the work week, it gives plenty of time for a Monday spell to gain strength throughout the rest of the week.

Moonstone Travel Spell

This spell will call on Meness, the patron moon god of travelers. We met Meness earlier, in the meditation for Monday. I suggest setting up this spell in the evening. Find a spot that faces east or that is illuminated by moonlight. Or try setting this up under the moon, in the garden, or on the porch or your outside deck. Get some atmosphere going! Try using a scented candle, such as jasmine or gardenia, to coordinate the fragrance with the moon’s energies.

Gather the following items:

• A photo of your destination, your travel itinerary, or your airline tickets

• 4 small tumbled moonstones

• A scented white votive candle and holder

• A lighter or matches

Set up this spell on a safe, flat surface. Light the candle and place it in the holder. Place your paperwork/tickets or itinerary to one side of the candle. Arrange the four stones in a circle around the holder. Place your hands on the travel paperwork, and ground and center. Then repeat the following spell three times:

Meness, patron of travelers, watch over me

Whether I travel in the air, on land, or sea

Like a talisman in my pocket a stone will I tuck

Moonstones do encourage a safe journey and bring good luck. Take one of the stones and keep it in your pocket while you travel. You may close the spell by saying:

For the good of all, with harm to none

By the moon and stars, this spell is done.

Gather up your papers and tuck them away for your trip. Allow the candle to burn out on its own. If you performed this outside, then move your candle and the remaining stones indoors to let the candle safely finish burning. Never leave your candle unattended.
