Tuesday, the day of Mars, is good for spells for courage, change, self-assertion, taking the initiative, independence and separateness from others. Mars is the Roman warrior God, and also represents aggression, competitiveness and anger, all qualities that can be used positively for altruistic purposes such as standing out against injustice and protecting loved ones or the vulnerable when thy are under threat. Mars can be used to overcome seemingly impossible odds, to defeat opposition and to enhance health and vitality. This planet also rules over passion and the consummation of love.

Have a Very Magickal Saturday, my friend!


Saturn/Saturday

 

  • Element:  Earth
  • Color:  Black, grey
  • Crystals:  Haematite, jet, lodestone, obsidian, smoky quartz
  • Incense:  Aconite, cypress, patchouli
  • Tree:  Blackthorn, yew
  • Herbs:  Aspen, bistort, comfrey, horsetail, Solomon’s seal
  • Metal:  Lead, pewter
  • Astrological rulership:  Capricorn (co-ruler of Aquarius)

Saturday, the day of Saturn, is potent for spells concerned with unfinished business, with endings that lead to beginnings. It is a good day for all slow-moving matters and for accepting limitations, as well as for overcoming obstacles that are long-standing or need careful handling. It can also be used for lifting depression or doubts, meditation, long-term psychic protection, locating lost objects (as well as animals and people) and regaining self-control over bad habits or emotions. Saturn can be used to slow down the outward flow of money and to encourage those who owe you favours or money to repay.He will help banish pain and illness and bring acceptance of what cannot be changed. Saturn is in sense the shadow side of Jupiter — in other words, the reality factor. He represents the constraints of fate, time and space but can also turn challenge into opportunity if you are prepared to work hard and persevere.

Daily Motivator for October 20th – Choose to do

Witchy Comments & Graphics

Choose to do

In this moment, choose to do. On this day, choose to make real and meaningful progress.

It will take some time, effort and persistence. And in return, you’ll earn yourself some lasting value.

It will challenge you, and frustrate you at times, and make you a little uncomfortable. Yet it will also bring you the satisfaction of a job well done.

You may not always get it perfect, but always you can give it your best. Choosing to work your way forward is not the easiest choice, yet it will ultimately prove to be the most valuable one.

If you’re tempted to let the excuses of the moment hold you back, project your thoughts into the future. Imagine how silly those excuses will seem five years from now, and how thankful you’ll be that you ignored them.

The opportunity of today is worthless unless you act on it. Act on it, choose to do, and you’ll soon be enjoying the many rewards of your efforts.

Good Thursday Morning/Afternoon, my lovely friends!

Friendship Comments & Graphics

I hope everyone is having a great day, today! I know it is fantastic here. For the last couple of days, it has been nothing but rainy and gloomy. I don’t know about you, but the gloomy weather messes with my emotions. I get draggy and I don’t want to do a darn thing. Except this time was different, I got my days and nights screwed up. That is why the posting has been so poor. I found myself falling asleep at the computer. Then I would get so sleepy, I couldn’t do anymore. So I would have to get up and go to bed. But I would wake up at night and clean the heck out of the house. My husband would ask me what I was doing up at 2:30 in the morning cleaning the shower out. If the world would cooperate and go on my schedule, I would love it, lol! You know everybody sleeping during the day and prowling at night. But I have always been a night person and it doesn’t take much for me to get turned around. I wanted to let you know why the posting had been off and also to apologize for it. I won’t say it won’t happen again because I know it will. Just the next time you will know what is going on.

 I love you all to pieces. Have a great day!

¡Buena mañana, mis estimados amigos!

 Lmao! I couldn’t resist. I told you I was trying to think of new ways to say, “Good Morning!” Before you run to Babelfish (like me, lol!) the above says, “Good Morning, my dear friends! Hey it’s different (not the greeting, the language, lol)!

 

 The photo I used today, I read and then re-read it. It touched my heart and it also describes me to a tee. I am sure if you read it, it will also touch some of you. It is true our past experiences, good and bad, make us who we are. We learn from them and we grow. We never stop learning if we do, we stop growing. This is especially true in The Craft. Witchcraft is a never ending journey. You must have your mind open and always be willing to learn. With an open mind and a willingness to learn, the Goddess will show you all the beauties and mysteries of this world and the universe.

Happy Monday, dear friends of mine!

Days Of The Week Comments 
Hello all you lovely people out there! I was sitting here thinking about the title I use everyday on these starter posts. “Happy,” I use that all the time. I was wondering what other greeting would be appropriate, “Joyous Monday,” “Blissful Monday,” “Funny Monday?” It just hit me, “It’s A Killer Monday, Tuesday, etc., you get the idea, lol! The word “Killer” hit me because I am about ready to kill my husband (not really). He is in the next room watching Battle: Los Angeles. We have surround sound and I swear he has the volume set at 100. The damn walls are rumbling. And you can’t talk to him because he can’t hear you. So I went in there and yelled for him to turn it down. Amazingly enough, he did and the walls still rumble. He is in the process of retiring and I honestly don’t know if I am going to survive his retirement or not. Kiki, Razzy, Stinker and I are going to get us a tent and pitch it in the backyard. My Monday was going great till he got up. Enough with the bitchin’! 

 

I had several comments in regards to this blog having a “Donate Button.” There was some confusion as if it did have one and it does. On the right hand side of the blog, scroll all the way down to the bottom. There it is. It is linked to our non-profit account and I just checked it. It is working properly. If you have found material that is beneficial, you just like the blog or would just like to donate, your donations and generosity would be greatly appreciated. I know you probably wonder why a blog like this would have a donate button. In this case, it is actually to keep the internet going were we can operate the blog. The internet service is provided through a local Co-Op. The Co-Op owns the lines and therefore we are very limited to what we can get. So the funds you donate goes strictly to paying the internet service (which keeps getting higher and higher each month). So if you find it in your heart to donate, thank you very much. It is deeply appreciated. Well you ain’t paying me to goof off, so I am off to do the dailys. I hope you have a great Monday. Till tomorrow….

Luv & Hugs,

Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble!  I’m the one in the middle cookin’ up brunch for my lady friends, lol! Actually, I have been toiling but it hasn’t been over a hot cauldron. I have finally linked the Goddess of the Month and the Herb of the Month. So if you have tried to click on them and nothing happened. Try it again. The reason I am running so late, dummy me didn’t bother to check which one I had already done. So guess what? I typed up another description of Onyx. I ought to know me by now and always double-check myself, lol!

 

 Well, my friends, I am going to run and get the dailys done. Then after that I am going to finish the topic of smudging. I had someone request information on smudging, so I was happy to supply it for them. If any of you have any topic you would like to know more about, please let me know. I actually enjoy doing things like this because I know someone is interested and trying to learn. So please don’t be bashful! Got to run for now!

 

 Blessings to you and yours,

Lady A

HAPPY Saturday, dear, dear friends!

Inspirational Comments
 Good afternoon/morning to all! I hope you are having a wonderful day so far. I actually feel like a human today, strange!!! I found the pic as I was browsing through the graphics at Magickal Graphics. And being a cat lover, well I just had to post it. I thought at first it looked like Razzy (the little kitten). But we have all decided she is half Lynx. She has the hair coming out of the top of her ears and is also spotted. My husband had said that Razzy had some type of wildcat in her but he kept saying bobcat. I told him I had never seen a spotted bobcat in my life. Then this morning, I was watching a wildlife show and there was a lynx on there. It was identical to Razzy. I do know her daddy was huge and gorgeous. There was times, I was tempted to have him fixed and bring him into the house. But Stinker and him hated each other. But how a lynx got mixed in with a cat, I don’t know. Truthfully, I don’t even want to imagine it. Razzy also has an unusual way of nuzzling me. I have finally got the hang of it and I do it with her. If I don’t she gently nibbles on my nose. Good thing I did, if she get teeth like a lynx, crap she would bite my nose off. But I consider myself lucky, she has already took me as her mother and witch. There are rituals and spells to draw your animals to you and make them your familiars. I don’t know or if you have even heard of this way or not. But in the hills, there is a custom (which some might shy away from) and it is very simple for making an animal your familiar. The animal has to scratch you or accidentally draw your blood. Then the animal has to lick your blood. You can’t force the animal to do this, they have to do this of their own freewill. For example, Razzy and I where playing. She got to playing to rough and scratched me on my arm. It was the first time she had ever seen blood and she was curious. Being the witch I am, I just sat still and put my arm down were she could see it. Well the little toot, put her paw in it and found out that blood is wet. While she was laying on me, she licked the blood off her paw. Then she looked at me, “like what just happened?” I think the connection must have happened at that point because she stood up on my chest and started nuzzling my face. But that is the simple way of taking a familiar or them taking you. At least that is the way we do it around here. Kiki (my little Pomeranian) did the same thing. Now I believe she is a vampire. I get a cut or scrape and she is chasing me down to lick it. I have to run like hell to get away from her, lol! I know some of you might think that mixing of the blood with an animal is gross. Then that is not for you, really it wasn’t for me either. It was just something that happened. But I don’t believe there is any ceremony or spell, that can create the bond you have with them after the mixing of the blood. I don’t want people reading this and then running around cutting themself trying to get Rover to get a lick. It has to be the animal that causes the blood to be spilled and then, of their own freewill, take a taste. I should add, that while the animal is taking a taste, you will have a very unusual sensation that comes over you. I know I did. That is your bond being established with them.

 

 Now that you think I am totally crazy, lol! I stopped to think about all the bonds we make in our life times. Honestly there is no telling how many we do. We reincarnate and reincarnate, think of all the bonds we have made in those past lives. The husbands, the wives, the kids and perhaps a pet or familiar, WOW! that enough to blow your mind right there. I haven’t even mentioned friends and even perhaps a lover or two! We certainly do have a long heritage, don’t we? I had a witch friend once that had such a strong bond with the past that she didn’t want to live in this life. She would do a past life regression and go back to that time and want to stay. She didn’t realize, she was only supposed to observe her past, to find out who she was and leave. She wanted to stay. She had a bond that was so strong it kept pulling her to that time. I don’t know if I am unfortunate or not, I don’t have any bond from my past that strong. I am happy in my current life. I guess that just goes to prove the fact, that life is what you make it. And the bonds we make here and now in this lifetime are precious and are never meant to be taken for granted (whether they be with human or animal).

Now I Am Going To Do Things Just A Little Different….

Samhain Comments & Graphics

~Magickal Graphics~ 

 

I thought today I might change things up just a tad. I get tired of the same old same old, don’t you? Anyway today, I am going to give you a closer looker at some of the Goddesses, Gods, incense, recipes, crystals and etc., associated with Samhain. I know Samhain is still a couple of weeks off, but I hate to wait to the last-minute to do anything. Besides Samhain is our highest holy day, why not get familiar with the things associated with it?  I hope you enjoy!
