The Lovers

Keywords: choice, decision, love, communication, inspiration (ideas from above)!

Astrological Correspondence: Gemini

The Lovers card is representative not only of crucial life choices, but also of lovers, couples, and other partnerships, like business partners, siblings, and friends. The angel between a woman and a man, depicted on this card, symbolizes the struggle of deciding to follow one’s heart versus one’s temptation or obligation. The Lovers card symbolizes the choices that must be made to progress toward higher self-awareness; choices also reflect emotional values, indecisiveness, hesitation, and our fears about making wrong choices. This applies not only to love relationships – it is applicable to any relationship in which people are drawn together, even a casual one. It’s the card of uncertainty!

The crossroads as a symbol and as an actual place are powerful. When we reach a crossroads in our lives, we have to make a decision. There may be a new path presented to us or our paths might be blocked. This could also indicate a spirit of the crossroads calling us.

King of Swords – Minor Arcana Court Card

The price of success; the cruel logic of revolution; despotism

Description: A solider has won his battles. He stands by the crown and executioner’s block.

Interpretation: Here’s Oliver Cromwell, who ended up toppling the king and ruling England as monarch in all but name. Behind his the block on which he had Charles 1 executed. Between his feet is the crown. He’s won! So why’s he looking so rueful?

In the distance we see a bucking horse, the same horse that threw the Knight of Swords from his saddle. Ah, so the Knight was Cromwell! Well now the battle’s over. He’s got what he wanted and now he must live by the consequences. In Cromwell’s case, he ended up becoming a killer and the very kind of despot that he fought against in the first place. He should have read Shakespeare: “{Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.”

The card is a warning then to be careful what you wish for. You may have good, reasonable cause—yet there’ll be consequences that could strip you of the happiness you hoped for. The chopping block indicates that they’ll be bloody. Cromwell could have stayed home on his farm. We probably wouldn’t remember him, but he might have had a longer, easier, and happier life. He might have died with his conscience clear.

Reading: Be careful what you wish for. It’s much harder being a king than it looks.

“Keep your sense of humor, and don’t take things so seriously”

It’s so tempting to view life in all of its many manifestations, permutations, and variations as something to be taken quite seriously, yet this is exactly the opposite of what you need to do right now. No matter what the situation, look for the humor in it. It may take time to find something, but if you look for it with this attitude in mind, you begin to see the absurdities and ironies inherent in whatever shows up in life, even in the darkest circumstances. Maintaining a healthy sense of humor about most experiences causes you to be lighter in spirit, to smile unabashedly, and to appreciate life that much more. Turn that scowl upside down by doing what makes you openly laugh.

Of course there are certainly times that require a more serious demeanor. Tragedies or traumatic experiences don’t call for cheerfulness and humor. When events occur, appropriate social restrictions apply that demand the expression of emotions congruent with the circumstances. However, these instances are temporary and all like things, will soon pass. Other than these kinds of situations, life’s ironies and absurdities abound. Rather than feeling personally victimized by these vagaries take a deep breath, see the humor in the situation, and have a laugh!

The Moon

Relying on old ways of doing things could impede your success if you do not handle the moon’s intuitive energy properly.

Drawing the Moon Stone suggests wisdom gained through experience of memory, but does not mean you should stay in a rut or stick to the kinds of habits that only forfeit your success.

The idea of family, home and ancestors is important now. Such memories may well be the key you need to unlock a certain puzzle that is troubling you.

Drawing the Moon Stone says that there will be a
sudden shift in the circumstances surrounding the immediate question. Bide your time before initiating any kind of action.

Now is the time to pay attention to your dreams.

Amhancholl

Ae (sometimes represented as X or Xi), is Amhancholl or Eamhancholl, associated with Witch Hazel. This natural astringent is purifying and cleansing. The word Eamhancholl literally translates to “twin of Hazel”, so there is a strong connection to C–Coll in the Ogham. When Amhancholl appears, it’s usually an indicator that cleansing and purification is necessary or has taken place.

From a purely medicinal standpoint, Witch Hazel has long been used as a cleanser and astringent. Native American tribes turned it into a poultice which was used to treat swelling and tumors. Amongst the early settlers, midwives arriving in the New World found that it could be used to prevent sepsis following childbirth or an abortion. Today, it’s still in use as a treatment for skin inflammations, such as insect bites, mild burns, and even hemorrhoids.

Amhancholl Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time for a cleansing. Sometimes this is a physical cleansing of our Self, but often it applies to emotional clutter and baggage. Smudge your home, get rid of all the negative energies around you, and allow yourself to purify both your body and your mind.

Magical Aspects: This is a good indicator that you need to do a re-evaluation of your spiritual life. Are you studying things that no longer interest you? Are you hanging on to books or other magical items that you know you’ll never need–or worse, that you really dislike? If you’re feeling stagnant, or that you’re drifting a bit on a spiritual level, when this symbol appears it probably means you need to rethink your priorities. What are your spiritual goals? Do a cleansing ritual, and help yourself begin anew.

One

Among the nine single-digit numbers, the 1 holds a special place in numerology.

The Numerology Meaning of the Number 1: THE PRIMAL FORCE

From a spiritual perspective, the 1 is the number of creation – the primal force from which all other numbers spring forth. Some say once you truly understand the place and function of this elemental number, enlightenment will be yours.

This statement doesn’t apply to a Numerologist’s perspective alone, but perhaps it’s a good place to start since the personality of the number 1 aligns nicely with its elevated spiritual symbolism.

The 1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results.

The 1 is aggressive – a necessary trait for creating, and not allowing anything to limit its potential. The 1 is the spearhead, always in the forefront directing and leading others.

The shape of this number reflects its meaning; the 1 walks upright with pride and purpose – strong, determined, and unwavering with a specific goal in mind. The 1 is capable of turning ideas into reality – pushing obstacles aside or simply drilling right through them.

The 1 tends to have a simple, straightforward view of life, heedless of its many complexities.

Befriend a 1 and you have a friend for life.

A Ritual Bath Glamour Spell For Aphrodite

If you work with deities, or even if you’re interested in working with Aphrodite for the purpose of this glamour spell, then this beauty ritual bath is wonderful for enhanced beauty.

Before the bath, set out an offering for Aphrodite. This offering can be dried roses, petals, wine, or anything else that you feel represents the goddess of love.

Set up your bathroom in a way that feels pleasant and romantic to you. I like to use pink or red candles, rose petals, rose oil essence, bath salts, mirrors, makeup, and anything else that represents beauty.

Think of the bath as your giant cauldron and add ingredients to it one by one as it fills.

Once the bath is ready, hop in and focus on your intention. Spend 20 minutes or so picturing exactly how you want to appear to others and how this will make you feel. Send your gathered energy into the bath, then picture the water infusing your skin.

If it feels right to you, chant the words:

Beauty within, beauty without,

I am fabulous, without a doubt.

Once you feel that the energy has been absorbed by your skin, the spell is finished.

This is a simple glamour spell that you can build into your weekly or nightly ritual!

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Friday

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

Friday Source: gypsywolf.weebly.com

Friday is the sixth day of the week, but used to be the seventh, the Sabbath of the Jewish lunar calendar.   The name, Friday,  is derived from the Nordic goddess, Frigg, Frigga, Freyja, Freya, or Frija (Germanic), considered to be the mother of all.  She is the Goddess of love and war, fertility and death.   She is the leader of the Valkyries and the Disir (Divine Grandmothers), and creator of Seidr magic.  Her symbols are the cat and the Brisingamen, which is the magic necklace of the rainbow bridge.  Freya’s Roman and Greek counterparts are Venus and Aphrodite, goddesses of love and beauty.
Latin: Dies Veneris, dedicated to Venus, the Roman Goddess of love
French: vendredi
Italian: venerdi
Spanish: viernes

Friday Source: learnreligions.com

Friday falls at the end of the work week for many of us, and that means we get a chance to relax for a little bit! Mark your Fridays with colors like pink and aqua, and metals such as copper. This is a day ruled by the planet Venus, so it should be no surprise that Venus and Aphrodite—goddesses of love and beauty—are associated with Fridays. This is a day named for the Norse goddess Freyja*, so be sure to take a moment to honor her as well.

Gemstones associated with Friday include coral, emerald and rose quartz, and plants like strawberries, apple blossoms and feverfew are also related. This is a good day to do spellwork associated with family life and fertility, sexuality, harmony, friendship, growth. Take advantage of Friday’s correspondences and plant a seed, make something grow, and enjoy your blessings.

*Note: There are a lot of disputes as to the origins of the word Friday because there is still a great deal of discussion as to whether it was named for Freyja or Frigga, and whether they were the same deity or two separate ones. Some scholars believe that while they may have eventually become two distinctly different goddesses, they could have had their origins in a single, common Proto-Germanic deity.

(One Person’s View) Casting The Runes c. 2018

Casting The Runes

Each individual will eventually devise his or her own way of casting the runes. What follows are some
suggestions, all following a similar path, but they are by no means fixed rules.

 

It is important to remember that your runes are your own, and are special. You have created a link
with them and that is important. Never lend your runes, unless you feel comfortable doing this. I
personally would never lend runes, Tarot cards or crystals to anyone else. If you are unsure, maybe
you should try drawing a rune from your pouch and seeing what you get as an answer. It is suggested
that an upright rune gives a Yes answer, and an inverted one a No answer. However, those runes
which look the same either way may prove a problem!

 

A traditional way of casting the runes is to mix them in a pouch and cast them on a cloth, usually
velvet. I keep my runes in such a pouch and use them in this way. It usually happens that the runes I
am intended to use find their way into my hand or between my fingers as I mix them in the pouch. I
usually draw nine runes.

 

Others have suggested drawing three runes at a time, three times, with a break in between each set of
three.

 

Old Nordic tales suggest that throwing runes at a person was a means of casting a magical spell.
Likewise spells are said to have been cast by writing certain runic inscriptions on a piece of paper and
passing it to the unsuspecting intended victim.

 

All these things may belong in folklore, and have no bearing on the modern usage for runes; it is up to
the individual to decide. One runemaster I know draws three runes which represent current
circumstances. Having looked at these three runes, he returns them to the pouch and draws three
more. The second set of three represents courses of action or possible outcomes. The second set is
then also returned to the pouch and a final single rune drawn, which indicates influences likely to have
a bearing on the problem as a whole.

 

Tradition suggests that Odin’s number was 5. For this reason, some runemasters work with only five
runes. Those interested in numerology will note that the runes total 25 if you include the blank rune.
This all adds up to 7, which is a powerful and spiritual number, and for this reason, perhaps, some
runemasters draw seven runes when casting.

 

Another means of casting the runes is to ‘shuffle them’ and leave them to their own devices for a while
(15 minutes is usually suggested), and then draw 12, laying them on a runic chart especially
prepared for the purpose.

(One Person’s View) Ways Of Casting The Runes c. 2018

Ways Of Casting The Runes

 

There are probably hundreds of different ways to lay the runes for a casting. What is given here is
only a selection. It is by no means exhaustive.

I would suggest that you try some of these, going for the ones with which you feel comfortable before
trying your own ideas out. The reasons for this are many, not least of which it is important to
familiarise yourself with the runes and how they are read as a group before progressing.

It should also be remembered that you may have some personal thoughts on the meanings of the runes
at the time you are carrying out the casting, which you should not dismiss out of hand. The meanings
given here are basic, and again by no means exhaustive. You may for example wish to use all
the reverse meanings given, even though some runes look the same either way up. Experience is the
best teacher, and you must always do what you feel comfortable doing. Don’t go along with something
just because others do – make up your own mind.

Another means of casting the runes consists of five runes, called Odin’s casting. Again these are laid
down from right to left, with the third rune slightly raised from the remainder. I read these as being
two pages within a book with the third rune being that which is either holding the pages together, or
conversely, stopping them from being turned. I use a similar layout in Tarot readings.

Similar layout could be used with seven runes.

You could also consider using a 12 rune casting, linking each rune either with a month or with a sign
of the zodiac. This is usually laid out in a circle, as in Figure 7.3, although I have seen many
variations of this.

Yet another suggestion would be what is sometimes called the rune-cast method. Basically, you ‘shuffle’ the runes within their pouch, and having formed a circle of string on the floor, empty the pouch into it.

Those runes nearest to you have the greatest meaning. Should any have fallen outside the string circle,
these can be ignored; likewise if they fall on the string or have fallen face downwards.

There are many more ways of casting the runes, and no doubt you will find one suitable for you.
Experiment and practise.

Joyful birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

As a Leo born on August 20th, you have this addictive and witty personality and a lot of people are attracted to you from the moment they meet you. It also seems that you always have your jokes with you and don’t waste any time in showing others just how charming you are.

Honest and courageous you prefer to be direct rather than dwell around subjects. Get ready for a special astrological perspective below.

 The zodiac sign for August 20 is Leo.

 Astrological symbol: Lion. This symbol suggests an emotionally strong individual who is also courageous and loyal. It is characteristic for people born between July 23 and August 22 under the Leo zodiac sign.

 The Leo Constellation visible between +90° to -65° is one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. Its brightest star is Alpha Leonis while it covers an area of 947 sq degrees. It is placed between Cancer to the West and Virgo to the East.

 The name Leo is the Latin name defining Lion, the August 20 zodiac sign in French it is Leo and in Greek it is Nemeaeus.

 Opposite sign: Aquarius. Partnerships between the Leo and Aquarius sun signs are considered auspicious and the opposite sign reflects upon the surrounding joyfulness and shyness.

 Modality: Fixed. This presents enthusiasm and nicety and also how passionate natives born on August 20 genuinely are.

 Ruling house: The fifth house. This house governs life pleasure, whether it is fun entertainment, social contact or intimate relations. This is an energetic and competitive space where Leos can best express themselves.

 Ruling body: Sun. This planet signifies fairness and intellectuality and also suggests a serenity nature. The Sun is named Helios in Greek and signifies the solar incarnation.

 Element: Fire. This element symbolizes empowerment and confidence and is considered to influence the strength of people born under the August 20 zodiac. Fire also gets new meanings in association with the other elements, making things boil with water, heating up air and modeling earth.

 Lucky day: Sunday. As many consider Sundays as the most welcoming day of the week, it identifies with the charming nature of Leo and the fact this day is ruled by the Sun only strengthens this connection.

 Lucky numbers: 7, 9, 12, 17, 23.

 Motto: “I want!”

 People born on August 20 are persuasive and enduring when it comes to achieving their objectives but they can be quite caring when someone steals they scrutiny for long enough. They are blunt and sincere so people are likely to be attracted by them and their fierce charm. They are rapid to get on board with all kinds of plans and they often take the leadership position, whether this is by instinct or officially marked. They need to feel in control otherwise they lose their reason.

 Positive Traits: The natives in this sign are self motivated and sincere but don’t always show others what is behind that shield of sureness they always carry. They are convivial up to a point and they try not to waste time that could be used in a more useful manner. They are wide minded and prefer to work with contrasting scenarios.

 Negative Traits: These natives need to learn that trying to rule over others and displaying a imposing behavior is not the way to go if they want to build strong relations. They are selfish and supervising and really try to make everyone do things their own way. They arrogance is huge and they don’t always have motives to justify it and they can be quite devious at times.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on August 20 are passionate and energetic. They enjoy dating rituals and they invest a lot of imagination in proving their partner for interesting and adventurous they are. They are attracted to charming, energetic and ambitious people who can keep up with their agitated lifestyle. You can conquer the heart of Leo if you know how to “sell” your best features to them, while still maintaining the focus on how amazing they are and how the world revolves around them.

 They are prudent and circumspect lovers and although not passionate their gentleness and honesty compensate. Their relationships are likely to grow on friendships as they need time to know the person that stays beside them. They offer everything they have to their loved one and ask for the same. Gentle and loving daydreamers now, but when time comes they will prove to be very dedicated to their family and they are likely to sacrifice many of their dreams for their loved one’s sake. They are most compatible with those born on the 2nd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 14th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 27th and 29th.

 August 20 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two fire signs: Aries and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Leo is in a constant search for a visionary partner to expand their horizon and the one to offer them this is the native in Aquarius. The lover in Leo is thought to be least compatible with Cancer. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Leo, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky color: Orange is the color said to be representative for Leo people born with August 20.

Orange as a hue, is the symbol of enthusiasm and vitality with endurance. This zodiac color should be used for objects that are sitting in places where these natives spend most of their time.

People having orange as sign color are impulsive but thoughtful and one of their best traits is that they tend to learn and remember all of their experiences and seek for ways to improve their lives and the lives of their closest ones. Down to earth, they feel the need to fight for a peaceful and happy life and believe they can reach for everything they want through hard work and dedication.

Other hues for Leo natives are red and purple.

Representative birthstone: The vibrant Ruby is the birthstone of preference for Leo natives, especially those born under the August 20.

Ruby presents a precious stone that reflects faithfulness and loyalty. This zodiac birthstone could be used in accessories and bracelets.

It is thought to relax and open the mind of the wearer in social situations therefore helping communication and understanding. Rubies are second strongest gemstone after diamonds and the quality ones are very rare.

Another gemstone considered influential for Leo natives is Peridot. It suggests vitality and optimism.

Characteristic Flower: Sunflower is the flower that is considered lucky for those Leo natives with August 20.

Sunflower suggests warmth, happiness and strength. This zodiac flower is advised to be used for gifts and decorations.

Sunflower suggests the focus and determination to succeed of the native in Leo. You can enjoy this flower during summer.

Other plants that suit Leo natives are Narcissus and Marigold.

Symbolic Metal: The lucky metal for those born under the August 20 is represented by Gold.

Gold is known to represent refinery and power. This zodiac metal should be used in bracelets and other accessories.

Gold has always been recognized as monetary wealth but it is also known for other benefic properties, such as healing ones. About 80% of the gold is used for jewelry.

Another metal considered beneficial for Leo natives is Bronze.

Characteristics: August 20 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of LEO (August 13-August 22). This decan is strongly influenced by the planet Mars. This is representative for people who are ambitious and successful just like Leo and fiery idealists just like Mars. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of the Leo zodiac sign, slightly enhancing the negative ones.

 Being born on the 20th day of the month shows a person who is patient, task oriented but also imaginative and emotional. The numerology for August 20 is 2. This number reveals balance and partnerships. It is the representative number for the desire of harmony and peace. Those Leo associated with this numerology can become great mediators and with age they will only turn wiser, gentler and incredibly more considerate to other people. August is the last summer month in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing holidays and very hot, tense days. Those born in August are outgoing and perseverant. August 20 Zodiac people are charming and mysterious. The symbols for August include the Peridot and Sardonyx as gemstones and Gladiolus and Poppy as plants. The name comes from Augustus Caesar, the roman emperor.

What Statistics Say: In the Gregorian Calendar, August 20 is placed as the 232nd day of the year or the 233rd day in leap years and there are 133 days left until the end of the year. The eighty first day of summer, this is also the World Mosquito Day.

 Leo comes eleventh on the list of most common to least common zodiac signs amongst births. Odd numbered sign, it is of positive meaning attached to a preponderant masculine symbolism. This represents extrovert people who are convivial and involved. The Prophet is an archetype used when talking about this sign. There is a peak of transport people born during the summer months. Famous people born on August 20 under the Leo zodiac sign: H.P. Lovecraft, Benjamin Harrison, Isaac Hayes, Robert Plant, and my middle son Victor.

If you were born on August 20, you can create powerful dreams using your imagination! There is always a new idea, thought, or fantasy swirling around in that big brain of yours. Most of the time, this is a fun and useful trait that allows you to solve problems and offer innovative solutions. However, if you sit still for too long and don’t allow your ideas to be heard and seen, they have the ability to overwhelm you and make you feel anxious and maybe even a little scared. So, share your thoughts! Give advice, create new things, and solve dilemmas to stay happy and healthy.

August 20 Leo at Their Best: Imaginative, empathetic, wise

August 20 Leo at Their Worst: Lonely, troubled, escapist

What to Wear: Nothing that could possibly out-class the guest of honor. Arrange to fade into the background when the “star“ makes a grand entrance.

What to Eat: Caviar, foie gras, Chateaubriand and, of course, truffles!

Who to Invite: If heads of state can’t make themselves available, check if Beyonce, Brad Pitt, or a Kardashian might squeeze the soiree into their schedules.

Where to Go: A palace (or a diner that can be decorated like one) would be rather appropriate.

What your birthday says about you is that when it comes to your finances and career, you are passionate about your job. Those born on August 20 want to make a difference. It does not have to be a high paying job for you to be pleased. However notable, this kind of thinking may have you thinking about renting a room out or be back at home with your parents. You like change but should be careful that change is not deliberate.

The health practices of an August 20 birthday person can be somewhat dormant. This could be due to a lack of self-esteem. Ironically, one effects the other. If you do not work to change the shape you‘re in, it will not get better on its own. If you do the work, you will see your confidence level soar. It’s a no-brainer. The only thing is that you have to do this on a consistent basis to get the results you need.

Typically, the August 20 birthday personality starts taking care of themselves, and then you let it go. Be steady, and you will achieve the look and the “feel” you so desire. Your friends and your family talk about how sweet you are, but they feel you like to talk. Stability is so critical to you as you like to have peace of mind when you come home. The best job description is one that will bring some meaning to the Leo.

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.

Hexagram Twenty – Seven/27

Name: I.

Keyphrase: Nourishment.

Formed By The Trigrams: Mountain over Thunder.

General: Spiritual discrimination is as important as physical discrimination.

Love: Choose your thoughts and words wisely in your relationship and remember to be tolerant.

Business: Use the right words and you will help sustain and nourish your business.

Personal: Now is a good time to clear out all that is not worthy from your life.

Overview: I relates to nourishment. In the same way that food is used to nourish your body, I suggests that words and ideas be used in the same way. It cautions that as with food your words should be chosen carefully. Just as bad food can upset you or those around you, bad words can do the same. When the body and spirit are both well provided for then you will be at your most powerful and effective.

Binding Spells: A Commonsense Guideline

Binding Spells: A Commonsense Guideline

If you don’t like the idea of using poppets and have decided to work a binding, and you have a handle on your emotions, then here are some commonsense guidelines that I suggest you follow:

* Bindings are best performed on a Saturday.

* Work the binding at sunset and you pull into the spell the closing energies of not only the day, but of the entire week.

* Work with black candles; they coordinate with Saturn’s energies and they are the classic magickal color for this type of witchery.

Finally, to be crystal clear, a binding is the act of psychically restraining a harmful person or criminal so that their actions cannot harm anyone else. The goddess to call on is Hecate, and she is a mighty magickal force. Consider your words and actions carefully when you call on her. How you choose to work a binding is up to you. At this point, I suggest that you take a moment and draft out your binding spell on paper. Go carefully, and remember to harm none.

You may experience some dramatic special effects when working with Hecate. Don’t be taken aback if the wind picks up….if you candles flicker and snap…..or if you begin to notice barking or howling dogs. The animals sense when Hecate is near. Yes, we have gotten very serious all of a sudden. That’s because a binding is a serious matter. Surprised? Don’t be. Just because I tend to look at things from a humorous perspective doesn’t mean I am not serious when the situation calls for it.

This invocation includes some of the correspondences for Hecate. If you choose, you can add these to your spellwork. (This would also be a fine addition to the opening of poppet magick). A general invocation for Hecate follows.

I ask you to really think about it before you bind someone else. This is one of those spells that if the Universe feels the person should not be bond it will not work. Plus, if you believe in the Law of Three/Threefold Law the consequences might not be to your liking as it could bind you from doing even the simplest spells depending on how strong your intention was to bind the other person when you cast it.

Celtic Tree Calendar – Hazel August 5 – September 1

Symbolic Meaning: Uniqueness, Intuition, Knowledge, Divination

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Corresponding Star Sign: Leo / Virgo

Hazel Tree Zodiac

Those born under the Hazel moon have friendly personalities and find it easy to talk to anyone. They are naturally organised and efficient with a great eye for detail. They are well gifted in the form of academia with their high intelligence and amazing ability to recall information with incredible accuracy. People tend to mistake them for know-it-all’s however they just make sure they are well informed and that they know their facts before they speak. They have a knack for numbers and science so are drawn to careers in this.

Hazel Moon from learnreligions.com

The Hazel Moon was known to the Celts as Coll, which translates to “the life force inside you.” This is the time of year when Hazelnuts are appearing on the trees, and are an early part of the harvest. Hazelnuts are also associated with wisdom and protection. Hazel is often associated in Celtic lore with sacred wells and magical springs containing the salmon of knowledge. This is a good month to do workings related to wisdom and knowledge, dowsing and divination, and dream journeys. If you’re a creative type, such as an artist, writer, or musician, this is a good month to get your muse back, and find inspiration for your talents. Even if you normally don’t do so, write a poem or song this month.

Spell for Tomorrow – Winds of Change

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

Winds of Change

This is more of a spell to release anger and stress, but isn’t that the first step to becoming more happy?

Your supplies:

• A windy day
• A hill
• Basil
• Patchouli

Well, it’s not mandatory that you have a hill for this, but you do need an open area outside for happiness spells like this. It does need to be windy.

Take your herbs to your chosen spot, and face away from the wind (so it’s blowing on your back). Toss the herbs in the air and visualize your problems being blown away.

Repeat the following:

May the winds take my pain
Make me happy once again

Then turn around and face the wind. Say:

May the winds bring joy to me
So that happy I will be

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Wednesday

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

Wednesday Source: otherworldlyoracle.com

Wednesday is also a day that acquired its name from an old Norse god – Odin. In the Germanic, in particular Saxon tribes, he was also called Woten or Wodin, hence Wednes-day or Woden’s day. Odin is the All-Father in the Norse pantheon and rules wisdom, mischief, poetry, quests and the runes (among many other things). Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury, which rules communication and more. So, if you cast on Wednesday, it should be for one of the following intentions: communication (verbal and written), technology, cars/transportation, wisdom, clarity, spiritual growth or enlightenment, travel, psychic abilities, courage, divination (particularly the runes), and power.

Wednesday’s Magical Correspondences:

Magical Intentions: divination, wisdom, knowledge, education, traveling, communication, spiritual enlightenment, courage, mischief

Crystals: Agate, citrine, aventurine, sodalite, lapis, hematite, emerald

Herbs: lavender, rosemary, fern, cherry, licorice, poppy, mugwort, plantain, apple, fennel, chervil

Gods/Goddesses: Odin, Mercury, Hermes

Wednesday Source: groveandgrotto.com

Wednesday is named for Wotan (Odin), closest Norse equivalent to the fleet-footed Roman god. Adaptable Mercury rules learning, luck, travel, and trade, so Wednesday is good for workings on any of these matters.  Improve communication. Increase focus and alertness. Prosper in business or games of chance.  Make or consecrate money-drawing charms. Wednesday is also a fine day for divination, especially using cards, runes, or lots. Mercury is a nimble trickster, so if you were going to do a spell to distract or mislead (not that you would!), Wednesday is the day for those shenanigans.
