Spells with Sun Water: Solar Magick and Sun Energy
From spells8.com
As the sun rises each morning, it offers us a newfound sense of hope that carries us through our day. But what if we could capture the energy and vibrancy of the sun every single minute? What if there were a way to access its healing properties wherever life takes us? That’s where sun water comes into play!
Solar Water
Solar magick harnesses the power of the sun to bring about positive change in one’s life. This could involve anything from casting spells to meditating in the rays of the sun and focusing on your desired outcome. Whether asking for protection or blessings, developing confidence, or encouraging growth, solar magick can bring peace and harmony into your life. Creating solar water is an easy way to incorporate sun magick into your craft.
What Is Sun Water?
Solar water is precisely what you’d expect: water that harnesses the energy and power of the sun! Solar water can then be used in other spells, workings, and magickal practices.
How To Make Solar Water
Much like moon water, solar water can be easily created by leaving a clear glass jar or container of water out in the sunlight in order to infuse the water with the Sun’s properties. You can use spring, bottled, or tap water – any kind will do! Just make sure the water is safe to drink if you intend on doing so.
Once you have collected the water, you can add herbs, oils, or other ingredients that are associated with your intention. For example, if you are doing a spell for prosperity, you might add some money-drawing herbs such as basil or mint.
After you have added your ingredients, you will need to charge the water. This can be done by simply speaking your intention over the water, or by using a charged crystal such as amethyst or citrine.
When To Collect Sun Water
What time of day is best for creating solar water? Well, that depends on your intention! The Sun goes through several phases throughout the day, and each of these phases brings a very different energy to your magickal workings.
Sunrise
This water is best utilized for new beginnings, manifestation, and drawing in blessings such as wealth, abundance, and fertility.
Noon
This water is often used to bring good health and vitality, physical prowess, courage, and wisdom. The Sun’s energy is at its peak during this time, making it perfect for charging crystals or other magick implements.
Sunset
This water is used for releasing unwanted energies, letting go, or revealing truths. Appropriate for shadow work and banishing negativity.
Your sun water can be further customized by working with the sign that the sun is currently in to help you focus your intention. At the time of writing this, the sun is in Aquarius, blessing us with joy, creativity, and a strong spirit of individuality. Next, we’ll explore how to incorporate the aspects of the Sun into your practice.
Uses For Sun Water
Now that you have your Sun water created and charged, it’s time to use it! Here are a few different ideas for you to get started with.
Use the water in your spell or ritual.
Once the water is charged, you can use it in your spell or ritual in any way that you see fit. This may include spell jars, adding it to bath rituals, or for any situation in which you may resort to using water in your practice.
Use solar water for cleansing or blessing.
If you work with a god, goddess, or spirit of the sun, you can also have your deity bless your solar water. This water can then be used to cleanse your tools or space, adding it to baths or floor washes. Use it to wash your hands before working magick.
Water your plants with solar water!
If you work with plants in your practice, use your solar water to show a little extra love to your garden or houseplant collection! Does solar water seem to have a positive influence on your plants over time?
Add sun water to your beverages and recipes.
As a solar witch, you may enjoy using your water to make sun tea! You can infuse your tea with honey or herbs that correspond with your intention for the day.

Tips For Creating Solar Water
Be sure to collect your sun water before the moon rises, as this may cancel out the gathered energy depending on your beliefs.
You can further enhance the energetic effects by creating solar water at the time of a special event like a solar eclipse or the Summer solstice.
Don’t use water in spell jars with ingredients that may mold over time, as this will spoil your jar and potentially ruin your spell.
If you intend on drinking your water, make sure it’s safe by boiling it first or charging already drinkable water!
Goddess – Heqet

Egyptian Goddess Heqet from symbolsage.com
Heqet, also known as the ‘Frog Goddess’ was the Ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility and childbirth. She was one of the most important goddess of the Egyptian pantheon and was often identified with Hathor, goddess of the sky, of fertility and women. Heqet was usually depicted as a frog, an ancient fertility symbol and was much revered by mortals. Here’s her story.
Heqet’s Origins
Heqet is first attested to in the so-called Pyramid Texts from the Old Kingdom, where she helps the pharaoh along his journey through the Underworld. She was said to be the daughter of the sun god, Ra, the most important god in the Egyptian pantheon at the time. However, her mother’s identity remains unknown. Heqet was also considered the female counterpart of Khnum, the god of creation and she was the wife of Her-ur, Haroeris, or Horus the Elder, the Egyptian the god of kingship and the sky.
Heqet’s name was said to have the same roots as the name of the Greek goddess of witchcraft, ‘Hecate‘. While the actual meaning of her name isn’t clear, some believe that it was derived from the Egyptian word ‘heqa’, meaning ‘scepter’, ‘ruler’, and ‘magic’.
Depictions and Symbols of Heqet
One of the oldest cults in Ancient Egypt was the worship of the frog. All frog deities were believed to have had an important role in the formation and creation of the world. Before the inundation (the annual flooding of the River Nile), frogs would begin to appear in large numbers due to which they later became associated with fertility and the beginning of life on earth. Heqet was often portrayed in the form of a frog but was also portrayed as a woman with a frog’s head, holding knives in her hand.
In the story of the Triplets, Heqet appears as a frog with ivory wands that looked more like boomerangs rather than like the batons magicians use today. The wands were to be used as throwing sticks. It was believed that if these ivory wands were used in rituals, they would draw protective energy around the user during dangerous or difficult times.
Heqet’s symbols include the frog and the Ankh, which she is sometimes depicted with. The Ankh signifies life and is also considered as one of Heqet’s symbols since giving people new life was one of her main roles. The goddess herself, is regarded as a symbol of fertility and abundance.
Heqet’s Role in Egyptian Mythology
Aside from being the goddess of fertility, Heqet was also associated with pregnancy and childbirth. She and her male counterpart often worked together to bring life into the world. Khnum would use the mud from the River Nile to sculpt and form human bodies on his potter’s wheel and Heqet would breathe life into the body, after which she would place the child in a female’s womb. Therefore, Heqet had the power to bring the body and spirit into existence. Together, Heqet and Khnum were said to be responsible for the creation, formation and birth of all living beings.
Another of Heqet’s roles was the role of a midwife in Egyptian mythology. In one story, the great god Ra sent Heqet, Meskhenet (the goddess of childbirth), and Isis (the Mother goddess) to the royal birthing chamber of Ruddedet, the royal mother. Ruddedet was about to deliver triplets and each of her children were destined to become pharaohs in the future. The goddesses disguised themselves as dancing girls and entered the birthing chamber to help Ruddedet deliver her babies safely and quickly. Heqet quickened the delivery, while Isis give the triplets names and Meskhenet predicted their future. After this story, Heqet was given the title ‘She who hastens the birth’.
In the myth of Osiris, Heqet was regarded as a goddess of the final moments of birth. She breathed life into Horus as he was born and later on, this episode became associated with Osiris’ ressurection. Since then, Heqet was regarded as a goddess of resurrection as well and she was often depicted on sarcophagi as a protectress.
Cult and Worship of Heqet
Heqet’s cult probably began back in the early dynastic periods as frog statuettes created in that time were found that may be depictions of the goddess.
Gods – Vishnu

The 10 Avatars of the Hindu God Vishnu from learnreligions.com
Vishnu is among the most important deities of Hinduism. Together with with Brahma and Shiva, Vishnu forms the principal trinity of Hindu religious practice.
In his many forms, Vishnu is regarded as the preserver and protector. Hinduism teaches that when humanity is threatened by chaos or evil, Vishnu will descend into the world in one of his incarnations to restore righteousness.
The incarnations that Vishnu takes are called avatars. The Hindu scriptures speak of ten avatars. They are thought to have been present in the Satya Yuga (the Golden Age or Age of Truth), when mankind was ruled by gods.
Collectively, the avatars of Vishnu are called dasavatara (10 avatars). Each has a different form and purpose. When an individual is faced with a challenge, a particular avatar descends to address the issue.
The myths associated with each avatar reference a specific period of time when they were most needed. Some people refer to this as the cosmic cycle or the Time-Spirit. For instance, the first avatar, Matsya, descended long before the ninth avatar, Balarama. More recent mythology states that Balarama may have been the Lord Buddha.
No matter the specific intent or place in time, the avatars are meant to re-establish the dharma, the path of righteousness or universal laws taught in the Hindu scriptures. The legends, myths, and stories that include the avatars remain important allegories within Hinduism.

In the Rig Veda, Vamana (the dwarf) appears when the demon king Bali ruled the universe and the gods lost their power. One day, Vamana visited the court of Bali and begged for as much land as he could cover in three steps. Laughing at the dwarf, Bali granted the wish.
The dwarf then assumed the form of a giant. He took the whole earth with the first step and the entire middle world with the second step. With the third step, Vamana sent Bali down to rule the underworld.

Krishna is depicted in a variety of forms because there are so many stories surrounding him.

15 Magnolia Meanings: Symbolism of the Flower and Tree from uniguide.com
The magnolia is a beautiful flower with a rich history of symbolic meanings. Native to North and South America as well as the Himalayas and East Asia, magnolia trees have come to be known as iconic trees with beautiful blossoms in the southeastern United States.

Summary: Beauty that Withstands the Test of Time
What does the magnolia symbolize?
1. Magnolia Flower Meaning: Beauty
Magnolia blossoms are large, with multiple petals. Thus, these beautiful trees and their fragrant flowers have come to be symbols of beauty.

So, these beautiful flowers are like people who go through challenges in life yet still manage to shine
2. Originality
Paleontologists have gained immeasurable knowledge about prehistoric life by studying fossils. However, understanding prehistoric plants is more challenging because plant matter is so biodegradable and rarely preserved in fossils.
However, botanists are not using innovative methods to understand more about prehistoric plants. One recent discovery is that the oldest known flowering plant originated some 140 million years ago and it likely resembled a magnolia flower1 Thus, magnolia meaning has also come to symbolize originality and primordial wisdom.
3. Endurance and Fortitude
Magnolia flowers grow on sturdy trees and their blossoms are known for their hardiness. In addition, they are adaptable and can grow in a variety of climates. Thus, the magnolia is also a symbol of perseverance, endurance, and fortitude. In fact, the popular movie Steel Magnolias was named for this theme, as the film is about beautiful, strong, and resilient southern women.
4. Commitment
In China, the magnolia share symbolism with duck meaning as both represent devotion and commitment. Thus, magnolia flowers and trees are used often in the Chinese practice of feng shui. They represent long-term devotion and marital happiness, as well as wealth, which we’ll get to below.
5. Longevity
Magnolia trees can live for over a century. This, coupled with the idea that magnolia blossoms resemble the world’s first flowers makes them a symbol of longevity. Thus, a magnolia tree is a positive symbol for long-lasting relationships or business and creative endeavors, as well as health and vitality.

Magnolia flower meaning also include wealth. Indeed, according to the art of feng shui, if you plant a magnolia tree in the front yard it can bring financial satisfaction. And planting one in the back yard invites long-terms wealth.2
In this way, the magnolia shares synergies with angel numbers 808 and 818 in that they all create positive vibrations for bringing more wealth into your life.

Divination Through Tea Leaves c. 2018
Divination Through Tea Leaves
Predicting by using tealeaves was in the 19th century in Europe quite popular, but nowadays it is hardly practiced. Not, because the techniques were that extremely difficult, but much more because almost everyone uses teabags in stead of just unpacked tealeaves. That causes, that no leaves are left in the cup after drinking.
So if you feel invited to this prediction method, the first thing to do is drinking tea at that ‘old-fashioned’ way. You need for each cup one teaspoon with tea and one extra for the teapot. You’ll notice it tastes nice, but if you plan to use it too for prediction, I suggest the use of white cups, because it gives a better background for the dark leaves. Each person in your ‘tea session’ who wants to hear something about their personal future, should leave a little liquid behind in their cup. This is stirred to let the leaves floating in stead lying quiet on the bottom of the cup. Immediately after that is done, the liquid part is carefully poured out. By doing this, the tealeaves stick behind on the inside and the bottom of the cup.
Than comes the moment for you to fix a strong and deep concentration on those tealeaves. Close your eyes halfway and give your powers of imagination ‘free way’. Try to discover in these tealeaves a known picture, i.e. a book, an axe, trees, a hat, etc…etc… The following step is the interpretation of that discovered picture. You can use for that the next explanations:
Anchor:
A journey, at the end of that trip happiness.
Arrow:
Luck in love affair(s).
Axe:
(A pickax or a saw is also possible)
Be warned to deal carefully with your money and your emotions.
Balloon:
(Also a non-army airplane):
An unexpected promotion, going for the better or inheritance.
Bird:
See: flag.
Book:
Ask advice before going further going on in things your are (or are going to be) involved.
Bottle:
Your social activities will increase.
Bow:
There will come a meeting or a date that is important for your further life.
Butterfly:
Your partner/spouse/life mate takes your affair not as serious as is essential/ necessary in your view.
Chain:
In a certain activities in your professions you should give more and better efforts.
Clock or watch:
An important meeting will happen.
Crown:
Promotion.
Cross:
Big tough luck. If you can see a second picture in the leaves, than that can give more details on the area that is involved.
Dice:
Avoid risks.
Doorbell:
You may expect good news.
Envelope:
Good news is coming.
Fish:
You will get unbelievable news from far away.
Flag:
Your level of prosperity will increase.
Foot:
Expected good news will not come.
Gate or door:
An unexpected change in your personal circumstances.
Hammer:
You should make more efforts to give your best.
Harp or harpsichord:
Prosperity and luck will become yours.
Hat:
You have to go through some touch luck.
Heart:
You will get emotional excitement.
Key:
You will get a better understanding about certain things that are unclear to you now.
Knife:
You’ll get a quarrel or even a row.
Ladder (Household):
Improvement.
Moon (Waxing):
A little profit will become yours.
Ring:
A lot of non-material luck/happiness.
Rocks:
In short time you will get some problems. (Not very big).
Roof:
At home with you something will change.
Scales:
You should improve your dealing with weighting advantages and disadvantages. Things have more than one side.
Ship:
A journey will bring luck and happiness.
Street:
(Two tealeaves straight between each other):
Business in which you are involved will go well.
(Two tealeaves not straight between each other):
Business in which you are involved will not turn out well.
Trees:
Everything will bloom.
Such a picture that is close to the edge of the teacup points to a time period from three till six weeks on the things that are predicted. If the picture is on the bottom it means a time period of at least two years before that prediction will happen. In the middle of the inside means about a year.
By training and experience you will become able to interpret more pictures as are described here.
Don’t forget: as with every prediction method, it will only work as it’s fully implemented in yourself. The fewest doubt will make that your efforts to predict will fail. (The ‘client’ need not believe that).

All Signs
Good news! This is a happy, laid-back week. On Monday and Tuesday, the Sun lines up with lucky Jupiter (happens only once a year), creating feelings of well-being, generosity and sunny optimism. People will help each other and be glad to see each other. Hey nonny nonny! Dogs won’t bite. Kids will behave. It’s a great week to socialize and pool resources. Midweek there’s a few detours, but these are temporary and things will soon return to a laidback tempo leading to a fun weekend. Let your motto be: How can I help someone? This will create the best vibes for you. Menander, 4th century BC said, “How big is the little thing that was given at the right time.”
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a lovely week for you because your energy and confidence are pumped! You are the kind of person who can accomplish a lot when you’re up for something and you know you can do it. Then, there’s no holding you back! That’s how this week will be for you. Relations with others will be mutually affectionate and charming. You might act on your moneymaking ideas. Admittedly, chaos and increased activity on the home front are a challenge. Nevertheless, if you can travel and “get away from all this” – you will. Midweek, you’re high viz. and by the weekend, you’ll love schmoozing with friends and enjoying your involvement with groups.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a solid week for you. For starters, the Sun lining up with Jupiter takes place in a hidden part of your chart, which will give you a warm feeling in your tummy; while Mercury in your sign will make you talkative and eager to share your views with others. Furthermore, your ruler Venus, in one of your Money Houses, will attract money and wealth to you. Yes! (It will also encourage you to spend large on beautiful things.) Along with this, fiery Mars is in your House of Communications, making you a persuasive and effective communicator! No one will resist your requests or demands. This is a clue to the fact that next month, lucky Jupiter enters your sign to stay for a whole year. Oh yes, life is good for Taurus – and getting better.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You’re popular and well-liked this week because the Sun and Jupiter are lined up in your House of Friendships, which means you’ll enjoy time spent with friends. Furthermore, when you relate to clubs and groups, you might assume a leadership position. You might be elected or appointed to take on more responsibility. To even sweeten the picture, fair Venus is now in your sign, which makes you charming and diplomatic with everyone. Ergo: This is a wonderful, sociable, friendly week! Make plans to do something different or travel by the end of the week. Meanwhile, Mars will encourage you to work hard to earn money because you’re certainly spending it.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You shine in the eyes of others this week because both the Sun and Jupiter are lined up at the top of your chart making you look heroic. (And you very well might be?) People are impressed! Not only that, they’re happy for your success. You exude goodwill and confidence right now, which might be one reason you are more involved than usual with younger people. With fiery Mars in your sign, you have energy to spare. You are proactive, focused and competitive. Meanwhile, some of you are involved in a secret love affair. While others might be doing financial transactions or money deals behind the scenes. (You’re very private about your money and always will be.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You feel happy this week. In particular, you feel a strong need to get away and do something different. You need a change of scenery. You want something adventurous and stimulating to happen. You would love to learn new things and discover new ideas as well as meet with people from different cultures. Make a point of socializing at the beginning of the week on Monday or Tuesday because you will enjoy this. As the week progresses, interactions with creative, artistic types will please you. In many ways, this is a time of preparation because lucky Jupiter will soon move to the top of your chart where it will stay for a year making you look fabulous and successful in the eyes of others. “Are you ready for your closeup, Miss Garbo?”
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This week begins with an emphasis on home and family, and then swings to a time of socializing, playful outings and sports events, with an increased emphasis on children. Venus is high in your chart now, which makes you look good to others. In fact, expect someone to ask for your advice about how to make something look better. They will. This is a strong week for you in terms of financial negotiations and dealing with wills, taxes, debt and the resources of others. Whatever decision you make will favour you. It’s also a good time to ask for a loan or mortgage. Meanwhile, competition with friends and groups will be edgy! Good luck.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You have a strong need to be heard now, which is why discussions with partners and close friends will be meaningful to you. These might be a teaching or learning occasion, or something that enlarges your scope or understanding about something. Meanwhile, travel for pleasure is starting to beckon now and in the next few weeks. But because you’re ambitious with your personal projects, will you take the time? Probably not. Perhaps you can slip in some weekend getaways? The main thing to know this week is that your interaction with partners and close friends, (and the general public) will benefit you. You will also benefit others. It’s a mutually beneficial situation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’re in work mode. You want to be productive and accomplish as much as possible. This favourable situation will help you pool resources with colleagues, customers, clients and friends to achieve your objectives. Work-related travel is a likelihood for many. All of you will feel more optimistic about what is possible to achieve. You might work with foreign interests. You might explore publishing, legal matters or something to do with medicine. Whatever you do will expand your world. Meanwhile, financial assistance can come your way. Discussions with partners and close friends might surprise you. Do what you can to get out of your rut and elevate your gaze. Explore!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This week is fun city for Sagittarians! It begins with the Moon in your sign on Monday and Tuesday, making this the perfect time to interact with others. Accept invitations to party and socialize! Enjoy entertaining diversions. Sports events and anything to do with the arts, concerts, museums and galleries will be areas that will delight. Many of you will be more involved with children. Even relations with partners and close friends will be warm and affectionate because Venus is opposite your sign now. In fact, your sex drive is amped! Look for ways to express your own creative talents because this will be rewarding for you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
On Monday, things are low key, and you feel the need for privacy. However, by Tuesday, you’ll be out there flying your colours! This is the perfect time to entertain at home or enjoy family gatherings. In fact, anything to do with home, family and real estate will benefit you now. If you’re thinking of moving, check out real-estate possibilities or rentals. This is a fun-loving, playful week, which offers you opportunities to feel happier about where you live and secure about relations with family. Even relations with work colleagues will be mutually supportive. One tiny glitch: with Mars opposite your sign now, be patient with partners and close friends. (We are all frail mortals.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a wonderful week for you because you’re super optimistic. You are stoked! You might be thrilled with what’s happening in your daily world and happy to be with the people in your daily surroundings. You might be thrilled because you’re learning something exciting. Or you might be thrilled because you see new plans that will unfold for you in an exciting way. Some of you are in in the throes of an impossibly, magical love affair because fair Venus is now in one of the most romantic parts of your chart, triggering opportunities for love, romance, fun social outings, vacations and everything that is sheer pleasure. Enjoy good times!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a year when you are financially favoured and can get richer. Sometimes this happens at once with a big promotion. Other times, it happens in increments. If so, this week is definitely one of those increments. Something will boost your wealth and make you feel more affluent. It could be a raise, a gift or a chance to open up a new stream of income. Work-related travel might be exciting for some. Do be aware that as this week begins, others notice you more than usual. In fact, personal details about your private life might be public. This is also a lovely week to entertain at home and certainly to redecorate or make where you live look more attractive. Enjoy your good fortune!

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or major decisions from 5 AM to 9 AM EDT today (2 AM to 6 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Don’t get your belly in a rash today. Instead, take it easy and be laid-back. You have strong opinions today, especially about politics, religion, philosophy, racial issues – you name it. This could lead to a confrontation with someone older. Who needs this?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You’re never casual about money because you’re the financial wizard of the zodiac. (Mind you, many other signs are not casual about money, either.) Avoid arguments about shared property, inheritances and debt today, which could trigger strong feelings. It was ever thus.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Whoa Nellie! Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Compromise. Keep this in mind. Meanwhile, disputes with authority figures could become heated. Be reasonable. Use common sense to avoid nasty confrontations.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A clash of opinions, beliefs and ideas about religion, ideologies, politics – you name it – is likely today. In fact, this might be work-related. Because the Moon is dancing with Pluto, people will have intense feelings about these discussions. Cool your jets.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Parents must be patient with their kids today. (It goes with the territory.) Authority figures, rules and regulations, especially related to property and finances, might create a problem today. Meanwhile, those who are involved will have strong feelings about this. Get your facts straight. Be forgiving.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Family arguments might arise today, especially with someone older or an authority figure. Sometimes it’s best to go along to get along to keep the peace. Certainly, feelings at home will run high. Put things in perspective. Will any of this matter 10 years from now?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Don’t be critical of others today, even in your thoughts (if you can do this). Negative vibes and criticism will lead to arguments that will ruin your day. Your objective is to have a pleasant day. Keep this in mind. Remind yourself what your objective is so that you are happy.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Arguments might arise today about costs related to kids or social occasions or a vacation or a sports event. (Many things can trigger money disputes.) Today however, these will escalate into emotional scenes, which will benefit no one. What good comes of this? Be the peacemaker.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might be emotional today – intensely so because the Moon is in your sign dancing with Pluto. Meanwhile, difficulties with family members, especially parents or older authority figures, might arise today. You can be part of the problem; you can be part of the solution. Your choice.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a challenging day for you because something going on behind the scenes might rankle you and yet, you can’t speak up. Naturally, you’ll be doing a slow boil. Let this go because today family events and interactions with children can actually be warm and pleasant.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Money squabbles with a friend or a group might put a damper on things today. In fact, whatever happens will get your goat. You can’t ignore it for some reason. Think about what your choices are. You can ignore this and have a happy day. Or you can trigger an argument and be miserable.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It will be challenging to deal with authority figures today. Furthermore, these challenges might be public. (An argument in an elevator?) Do your best to stay calm. Don’t take the bait. If you get upset, then others are upset and who wins? No one.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Cynthia Nixon (1966) shares your birthday today. You are passionate and adventurous. Invariably, others are smitten with your charm. You always speak your mind. This year is slower paced. It’s okay to rest. Give yourself a chance to rejuvenate and focus on your needs and the kinds of relationships that make you happy.
BASIC CANDLE SPELL c 2014
BASIC CANDLE SPELL
Depending on your goal, you will need to choose a candle color that is appropriate for your task. Different colors represent different things, for example, if you want to use this spell to gain money, you choose a green candle, because green represents money (as well as other things). If you wanted love, you would use a pink candle (or red if it’s actually lust you want).
Take the candle and make 7 notches in it, all equally apart.
Using virgin olive oil, dress the candle, rubbing the oil on it from the middle to the bottom, then the middle to the top.
Place the candle in a sturdy candle holder (preferably metal, glass may shatter) and light the candle. Concentrate on your task while the candle burns down to the first notch. Burn the candle each night to the next notch until it has completely burned out.
Look at any god correspondence chart on a wiccan website to see which color you want for the different types of spells you could adapt the above basic one to.
You can also write out what you want in rhyme and burn it after saying it like an incantation. 3×3 times works well. Keep any ashes and wax and make into a ball as a Talisman or keep in a spell box in case you wish to reverse the spell
Sunday’s Witchery c. 2012
Sunday’s Witchery
Those ambitious, successful spells and charms will be heightened by working on the day of the week that has the planetary influence of the sun. So light those sunny candles, wear some luminous colors, and break out the gold jewelry! Bake up some cinnamon rolls or low-fat cinnamon muffins for an enchanting family breakfast. Take an orange with you to eat at lunch today. Try using a little magickal aromatherapy and burn some cinnamon-scented incense to encourage success and wealth today. Make the talisman to keep your solar magick with you. Sprinkle some dried marigold petals around your house-or across the threshold-to pull triumph and protection toward you and your family.
Get outside and tip up your face to the sun. Take a walk outside, and soak up some sunshine! Acknowledge the power of Sunna or Helios as they blaze across the sky and bring courage and motivation into your life. Sit outside at sunrise on a Sunday morning and bask in its warm, rosy-golden glow Acknowledge Brigid as the inner, creative spark of imagination and inspiration. She can help these gifts burn brightly within your own soul. Use your imagination and create your own brand of witchery and magick. Here comes the sun, and it’s your turn to shine!

This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.
An Ace of this suit in this position symbolizes a pivotal act, or fateful step, that will set loose a chain of events leading toward your desired goal.

It personifies an aroused Will that is totally focused, aiming at the bulls-eye.

Daily Love Tarot
The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man asks, “What do you see from a new perspective?” If you look, you catch sight of the truer nature of a union. You feel yourself relax. You live in the future now, and not in the past. You learn not to get excited over every little upturn and downturn. This is the message of the card today: focus your eyes on the moment and nothing slips beyond the radar of awareness.

Erotic Tarot
The Magician

You can take the Magician card quite literally today as it’s telling you that your love life needs a bit of sexual magic. The Magician card encourages you to use the intuitive power you have that allows you to approach potentially (or explicitly) passionate situations with erotic determination. Who do you want under your spell this time, and what sensual tricks do you have up your sleeve to seduce him or her? This card is an indication that it would be a shame to let your passionate talents go to waste.

Today’s Psychic Tip
