Your Current Moon Phase for Jan. 4th: Waning Gibbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /52% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

The Witches Spell I Give You For Jan. 4th: Ward Off Evil Spell

Gothic Comments


Ward Off Evil Spell

To ward off evil spirits or energy:

In a small jar, place sage, sandalwood, galangal and brimstone herbs. Mix well and sprinkle sea salt on top. Cut a three inch piece of red string, and tie on knot into it and place it in the jar. Next, place three pins or nails in the jar and close it. Light a black candle and say the following:

“Pins that prick, herbs and string, to protect me now, my guardians do sing!”

Hide the jar in a dark place to ward off evil.

Full Moon

(waning/78% illumination)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Air Witch & Air Magick

Air Witch & Air Magick

Air magick pertains to all things that travel through the air. This includes death, music, thoughts, spirits, dreams and invisibility. Other specialty areas include travel magick and twilight studies. The word twilight is used here to describe the state of mind when we are not quite asleep and not quite awake. It is a shift in consciousness that allows for the more surreal parts of life to come into sharper focus.

Like dirt and water, each type of wind contains its own primary properties. The magickal properties and purposes corresponding to the different types of winds are as follows:

Whirlwind:  Whirlwinds run the gamut from gentle “dust devils” to full-blown tornadoes. This is a powerful aspect of wind to use; however, it is best to only use the violent form on the astral plane. This is the best wind to use to banish or destroy. Be careful with whirlwinds, even if only on the astral plane, because they tend to confuse.

South wind: The south wind is the warm wind of fire. It can work as an all-purpose magickal booster; however, it can easily cloud a situation. The South wind brings blessings of friendship.  Singing into the south wind can facilitate contact with loved ones. It is the wind of celebration.

North wind: The north wind is the proverbial wind of change. It is the icy col wind of death and works well in spells of destruction or banishment. It is connected to the element of earth, and can be used as a healing wind. The north wind moves things forward in time.

East wind:  The east wind relates to air. It symbolizes new beginnings and fresh starts. This is a good wind to use for matters involving intellect and self-improvement. It ushers in clarity and clears the mind.

West wind:  The west wind is the wind of love and  emotion. It relates to the element of water. Cleansing and divination are favored when the west wind is blowing. The voices of the dead are heard on the west wind.

The Witches Spell for December 30th: A POWERFUL WISH SPELL

Witchy Comments & Graphics

      A POWERFUL WISH SPELL

This is a little complicated to describe but is well worth it.

You need a piece of recycled paper (recycled notebook paper works fine).

On the paper, write a short poem or chant to the Goddess and God that states your wish.

It is alright if you aren’t the best poet on earth! But it is very important that you say exactly         how you feel and what exactly you need. Do your best and say it from the heart.

Close the poem with thanks to the Goddess and God.

Fold it in half with the words inside it.

Draw a triple goddess sign on the outside.

Now fold it in half again with the symbol on the inside.

Now draw a pentacle on the paper.

Finally, flip it over and write your name and birthdate on the other side.

Put this aside in a safe place and your wish will come true in due time.

If you change your mind before it comes true, burn the paper and put the ashes to the earth.

The Witches Spell for Dec. 29th: Spell To Make An Enemy or Neighbor Move (Personal Request)

Witchy Comments
I had a personal request for this kind of spell. As well as the person who requested it, I hope others can find it useful also.

  

Make an Enemy Or Annoying Neighbor Move Away

When the moon is in a Waning phase, write on white parchment paper (or whatever you have) the full name of the person you want to move, along with the birth date if known. Roll up the paper, with a photo if you have one, place inside a bottle of vinegar, then toss into a body of running water, visualize the person moving away as the bottle is washed away.

Or you can try this……

Get a small jar or bottle with a lid.

On a piece of paper draw a house with a big X thru it.

Then write their name on it 9 times, but not inside the house.

Fill with Four Thieves Vinegar, cap and cast into a river or ocean.

This is a good one but back it up with splashing War Water on all their outside door knobs and porches. Do this as you build energy visualizing them packed up and driving away down the street.

 

Recipe for Four Thieves Vinegar

 

1. Obtain the best possible red wine or apple cider vinegar.

2. Peel and crush garlic cloves and add them to the vinegar. You can’t have too much garlic, if you plan to use this vinegar for its healing and immunity boosting qualities.

3. It is legend that each thief contributed one ingredient to this recipe. Choose one of the following to represent each thief, for a total of four additional ingredients:

Black pepper

Whole cayenne or other chili pepper

Coriander

Lavender

Mint

Rosemary

Rue

Sage

Thyme

Wormwood

4. Mix the ingredients together. Shake well. Then store in a cool, dark place and let stand for 4 days. Be sure to shake the mixture once daily.

 

 

War Water

This is super easy to make, all you need is some nails. Preferably the long, long metal nails that rust very quickly.

1.  Place the nails in a mason jar.

2.  Add enough water to cover the nails. Now leave the jar were it will not be disturbed. You want the nails to rust. Then rust generally forms within seven to ten days. If you find that your nails are not rusting fast enough to suit you, then open the lid and allow the nails to breath. By opening the jar lid, you will let in oxygen thus the oxygen will cause the nails to rust more quickly.

3.  Once the nails have started to rust, you can add more water if you wish. Now keep the jar in your refrigerator or store in a cool, dark spot.

4.  You can now drain enough water for your spell or other magickal workings.

Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required.
