a result. It should also be noted that this spell does not help those who become bound as a result
of trying to break it.

Anna Maria’s weight loss spell

The following ingredients are needed
MATERIALS YOU NEED:

-small yellow candle
-a paper or a small plate on which will the candle burn

CONDITIONS FOR THE SPELL (not necessary, but will certainly help)

-Waxing Moon
-night, when you can see the Moon

Anna maria’s note: This is a spell to help you lose weight. Results may take some time to show, and you also need to make some practical effort to help your spell. No weight loss spell works if you eat a liter of ice cream daily. We can do this much for the Gods, right?

It is best to do this spell outdoors where you can see the Moon, but the open window will do too.

Take the candle and point it to the sky, imagining it as a link between the Moon and you. Tell it that its’ purpose is to help you lose weight. Inscribe it with your wish, preferably in your own language. You can write in runes or another alphabet you like, or add symbols that remind you of thin woman or man etc. meditate a bit on your wish to be thin and imagine how you make efforts to lose weight (excercise, diet) and imagine yourself looking great. then say:

Tonight I come to you young Moon Help my efforts to not be in vain help me now to loose my burden may I lose so you may gain.

The remains of the spell throw away. They represent what ‘melted’ off you.

GLAMOUR AND BEAUTY SPELL

Ingredients

The best time to perform this spell is during the Full Moon, although, you can
also do it on a Friday during the Waxing Moon.
Ingredients/Tools:
-Bowl of spring water
-herbs for beauty, such as lavender and catnip,
-a white rose that has been separated from the stem, -mirror.
A ritual bath or purification ritual is recommended before performing this spell to
sort-of ‘clean the slate’ and allow magic to start anew.
Cast the circle and become calm and centered. Sit or stand facing the West.
Pour the spring water into the bowl and hold it up to the Western corner. Say:
I hail to the West and the forces of Water.
Hear and aid me in this magick tonight.
Grant me your beauty,
Shape and form this face and body
and let me radiate with self-love.
With harm towards none,
and for the free will of all, So mote it be.
Set afloat the rose on top of the water and stir it with your fingers three times round in a clockwise motion.
Take the flower out of the water and hold it in your hands. Say:
By the powers of the West,
The forces of Water,
I charge this flower with love.
Beauty is here,
It shines with the power.
Beauty is here,
Contained in this flower.
Keep the flower in a box along with catnip and/or lavender to remind you of your true beauty.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, November 5th

The imaginative Pisces Moon makes it difficult to set boundaries because the fine line between reality and fantasy is blurry. Meanwhile, enchanting Venus and trickster Mercury continue to travel together in fun-loving Sagittarius, tempting us to take our desires even further in our search for enjoyment. Venus and Mercury form slippery quincunxes with bountiful Jupiter, reinforcing today’s incorrect assumption that more of anything is better.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may decide that hiding from the world is a good idea today, but it’s not possible because others are making demands on your time. You can’t just ignore your commitments, so work through your resistance to getting involved with friends and family. Remember, you’re a part of a larger community and your lack of participation could have a detrimental impact. Show up as a team player, but give yourself permission to hang back and let someone lead the charge.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have an idealistic vision about your future and may want to share it with others. However, it may be more advantageous to wait until you have more clarity prior to cluing someone else in on your plans. It’s less important to attract anyone’s attention than it is to continue developing your thoughts now. Flying beneath the radar is a wise strategy today. Remember, successful ideas take time to evolve and grow.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult to concentrate today because your boredom and frustration continues to grow. You may resist doing what you promised, but it’s probably not a good idea to upset others with your negativity. Thankfully, you can improve your day by changing your attitude. Even if you want something different now, going along with the plan should decrease the stress in the present moment, giving you time to figure out a better long-term strategy.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be overconfident about making an important decision today, but your choices could steer you wrong if you don’t take all of the facts into consideration. Paying extra careful attention to what others expect can help keep you from going overboard. Listening to your intuition makes sense, as long as you create enough peace and quiet so you can get in touch with your inner wisdom.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are eager to step outside of your normal routine today and network with others to widen your professional horizons. But you’re not all business now; this isn’t just about making a plan and then executing it. Even if you have chores to handle, don’t pass up a chance to deepen an important relationship. It isn’t necessary to have answers; revealing your vulnerability can be the key that opens the door to the next level of intimacy.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your 7th House of Partners can shift your attention from your work to what’s happening with those closest to you. Just make certain that you don’t lose touch with your own needs; you can still be sensitive to someone else while taking care of yourself. Juggling your desires with your familial and social commitments takes extra concentration, but a healthy balance is helpful as you navigate your way through the tricky territory of relationships.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be feeling a bit confused if a situation doesn’t unfold according to your plan, yet your optimism continues to lead you on. Unfortunately, your current tendency to gloss over important details can actually impede your progress. Nevertheless, it’s still tough for changing circumstances to pull you off course today if you remain committed to fulfilling your obligations. As your thoughts drift away from reality and into the realms of possibility, gently pull them back into the present moment.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re ready to deliver on your promises today, and you may even enjoy yourself while being super-productive. However, you may not be able to adhere to an overly rigid schedule because the less freedom you have now, the more you’re tempted to escape from the restrictions. Nevertheless, it’s still smarter to buckle down and finish your chores before you take some time for yourself. Not only will you feel good about your accomplishments, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself without feeling guilty.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your great intentions may not be enough to keep you on the straight and narrow path today as you play out your wanderlust in the realm of fantasies. Thankfully, you should be able to hide your imaginative exploits so no one even realizes you’re traveling somewhere else in your mind. However, don’t get cocky or you’ll need to answer to an unforgiving friend, boss or lover. If you maintain appearances, you might be able to get away with living in both worlds for a little while longer.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re often the person that everyone confides in because you seem to be able to hold space for their problems. But others might not even realize that you’re going through your own personal struggles now as you attempt to balance your appearance of competence with your increasing lack of certainty. It’s useful to periodically reconsider your assumptions, but don’t let real questioning turn into self-doubt. You can always contemplate philosophical concerns another day when you have more time on your hands.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your dreams may bring an answer to a lingering question, but you must be willing to take sufficient time to explore their symbolism. Even if you’re unable to recall the details, your subconscious mind connects you with what’s most important now. Your lesson is about how your unbridled imagination helps you to co-create the future. Remember, tomorrow’s reality begins with today’s thought.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s visit to your imaginative sign increases your emotional sensitivity. Thankfully, you know how to separate your feelings from the empathic connection you have with others, but this requires constant vigilance. If you practice differentiating your thoughts from those around you, it becomes easier to respond to what’s happening without becoming exhausted or emotionally drained. It might be less stressful to keep to yourself until things settle down.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – November 4

“The honor of the people lies in the moccasin tracks of the woman. Walk the good road…. Be dutiful, respectful, gentle and modest my daughter… Be strong with the warm, strong heart of the earth. No people goes down until their women are weak and dishonored, or dead upon the ground. Be strong and sing the strength of the Great Powers within you, all around you.”

–Village Wise Man, SIOUX

The Elders say the Native American women will lead the healing among the tribes. We need to especially pray for our women, and ask the Creator to bless them and give them strength. Inside them are the powers of love and strength given by the Moon and the Earth. When everyone else gives up, it is the women who sings the songs of strength. She is the backbone of the people. So, to our women we say, sing your songs of strength; pray for your special powers; keep our people strong; be respectful, gentle and modest.

Oh, Great One, bless our women. Make them strong today.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Nov. 4th

The Moon slips into psychic Pisces at 3:17 am EDT, misleading us into believing that we know what others are thinking. However, we may be projecting our own needs without even realizing what we’re doing. Although we are less agitated than we were yesterday, we can feel the lingering effects of irrepressible Uranus’ trines to seductive Venus and witty Mercury. Thankfully, our erratic emotions should continue to settle down throughout the day.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Being swept away by your fantasies won’t be problematic today as long as you remember to fulfill your responsibilities, too. Give yourself permission to explore socially unconventional attractions in the discreet privacy of your own mind. But the lesson of the Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Secrets is that you don’t need to turn every crazy dream into something real. Some thoughts are better kept to yourself.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Instead of simply continuing your business as normal, it’s more exciting today to shake things up and try a different approach. It may be difficult to live up to someone else’s expectations of what you should do since you have your own method to explore. Your key planet Venus continues to lure you into unexplored territory as she harmonizes with freedom-loving Uranus. Thankfully, your closest friends should be quite supportive now, so there’s no need to hold back.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t want so much supervision at work and, thankfully, you stand a good chance to gain more independence today. But dreaming about more freedom doesn’t automatically give you the results you desire. You must clearly ask for what you need while being ready to bolster your request with solid logic. Don’t forget to keep up with your previous commitments or you’ll lose the trust that you already earned.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Typically, you choose the safer road in a relationship, yet these aren’t typical times. You’re brimming with exciting ideas about how to live your life in a more productive manner. You are eager to try something new and to break the mold in how you usually express yourself. Keep in mind that there’s no need to explain your choices to anyone; let them draw their own conclusions based upon your actions alone.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a chance to demonstrate your special brand of love to a close friend or family member. But this day isn’t about buying gifts or making magnanimous gestures; it’s about being patient and taking enough time to nurture others. Your ability to encourage their independence and help them move beyond their self-imposed limitations can be of immeasurable benefit. Don’t worry about expressing your feelings, for your words can be the catalyst that someone else needs at this time.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A business partnership or friendship can seem a bit weird today if one of you suddenly refuses to play by the regular rules. If someone unexpectedly cancels a social engagement, try not to make a really big deal of it. Rolling with unexpected changes can turn disappointment into enthusiasm. Remain flexible and you might be happily surprised with the outcome.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is searching for some unusual interpersonal connections at work today as your regular routine is unexpectedly turned upside down. Unfortunately, the more you try to follow a tight schedule now, the more frustrated you become. There’s no need to panic while stepping out of your comfort zone. Be true to your spirit and try something radically different.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Playful Venus in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem is still boldly prancing about with wild and crazy Uranus today. It’s very empowering to express yourself in ways that you might usually frown at. You have a sparkle in your eyes that increases your charm, so step up and live your life as if you were free as a bird. Thankfully, you’re able to take a risk and spread your wings now without losing anything in the process.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Allow space for everyone to bring a different perspective to the table today, even if there’s disagreement within the group. Your uncharacteristically narrow field of vision can create more harm than good now, so don’t close off your thinking. You might be so caught up in your own viewpoint that you take your argument too far. You’ll do fine if you remember that yours isn’t the only correct position.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are able to pull a rabbit out of a hat today, arriving at an elegant solution to a tricky problem that’s left others confused. However, formulating a concrete plan that ensures your success is only half of the deal. The other part requires you to work really hard until all the details are finished. You can actually turn your great idea into reality by following through on what you start.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s current visit to your 2nd House of Resources urges you to be careful with your cash, for you could easily find yourself spending more than you have for something you really don’t need. Impulsive purchases are not helpful, because you could be overly attracted to the glamor of having certain possessions now. Find meaningful things to do with your friends to reconnect with what’s most important.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel like arguing with your co-workers today and doing things your own way just to prove that you’re really different from everyone else. Normally, you might provoke a negative judgment when you do something that appears out-of-the box. But now, people look at you with admiration, wondering how you get away with such unconventional behavior so easily. But even your charm is not as simple as it appears; doing the extra work, at least, sets a wonderful example.

Your Weekend Lovescope for Nov. 4th – 6th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Time, Love and Tenderness

November 4 – 6

The Moon swishes into sensitive Pisces on Friday morning to create a tender mood for the next two days. This lunar transit lowers emotional barriers as feelings overcome intellect, producing a favorable environment for closeness. However, the intimacy we often experience in poetic Pisces is sentimental and universal, as if we’re in love with love instead of the particular qualities of our companions. Escaping within fantasies to dream about faraway places where the harsh realities of daily life are shrouded in the fog of blind love can be both delicious and deceiving. Yet we’re more likely to appreciate a lie that favors romance than a truth that wakes us from cozy dreams of soul connection.

Avoid serious work unless it has a spiritual, artistic or humanitarian purpose, because helping others and creating beauty are especially endearing with the Moon’s presence in compassionate Pisces. Whiling away the hours engaging in relaxing activities like walking in the woods, drinking wine and listening to music creates a low-stress environment that’s needed to support relationships.

The mood is quite different on Sunday as skins must grow tougher with the Moon’s entry into fiery and independent Aries. The urge for freedom intensifies, burning away the cocoon of closeness and reminding us to act boldly by trying new experiences and meeting new people.

Your Daily Horoscopes for November 3rd

Today’s ingenious Aquarius Moon can make us so clever that we end up fooling ourselves. Flirty Venus and mischievous Mercury are a charming planetary pair in fiery Sagittarius and their exciting trines to electric Uranus galvanize our senses and attract us toward unconventional expressions of love. The Moon’s midday trine to cautious Saturn temporarily stabilizes things, but her evening opposition to Mars might stir up an unnecessary conflict.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be lured close to the edge of an emotional cliff today, yet you’re probably ready to jump even if you recognize the potential danger. Fortunately, you have a bit of magic working in your favor now and gravity might not send you crashing toward the ground. Take a risk by sharing your thoughts or feelings with someone you trust. You could be pleasantly surprised by where the conversation leads.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Typically, you take a practical approach to love, but today your mind is enticing you to explore some unconventional possibilities that are very exciting. Luckily, you’re in an experimental mood and are eager to connect with someone in a completely different way. But don’t venture too far too fast unless you’re sure that you really want to go there.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can fall in love with a weird idea or an unusual person today, even if you find yourself somewhere you’ve never been before. You don’t get to recycle your same old fantasies now; familiar territory just won’t hold your attention. Enjoy playing on a new social playground, but pay attention or you might find it difficult to find your way home later on.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you have high hopes about accomplishing a lot at work today, save the self-judgment for another day if you don’t reach your goals. Rather than setting yourself up for disappointment, consider declaring the day a personal holiday, instead. Anything you can do to stir up excitement is a good idea. Remember, you can always fulfill your responsibilities tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It begins to dawn on you today that your newfound freedom isn’t just some passing phase; it’s your life. Although you might have twinges of nostalgia, your future looks brighter than your past. An unconventional person may be encouraging you to take a risk by embarking on an adventure. But even if there’s travel in your future, the real journey comes from opening your heart to the idea of something new and different.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions may conflict with your logic now that the Moon is visiting your 6th House of Details. But attempts at resolving the tension won’t bring you happiness, for you’re being pulled in two directions today. Trust your instincts and take a chance on following your gut reaction. You can always reconsider your priorities in a couple of days when your cool-headed analysis kicks back in.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to believe what others tell you, but you might realize that someone is stretching the truth today. Ironically, this doesn’t bother you much as long as you like what you’re being told. Anyway, you might try to hide your feelings now because you’re attracted to something unusual. Nevertheless, Venus harmonizes with quirky Uranus, so taking the extra step and sharing your fantasy can be fun. Nearly anything is possible if you aren’t overly attached to the outcome.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel very confident about your finances today, even if reality doesn’t fully support your conclusions. Nevertheless, you’re able to break out of the mold you placed yourself in by imagining your life very different than it is now. Although you might want to be in a new situation right away, it’s going to take time. Instead of feeling frustrated, give yourself permission to envision everything just as you want it. Remember, the next phase of your journey is just beginning.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Ironically, when your fantasies grow more real, they can also become less tempting. Your current desires may lead you down a totally unfamiliar path, and the closer you get to the end, the more uncertain you are about your choice. There is a delicate line between your unbridled imagination and what’s actually possible now. Fortunately, if you’re willing to take a risk, you can make an impossible dream come true.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are known for your down-to-earth practicality, and normally you can manage the details of your life as needed. But now you’re more likely to dream about having fun than taking care of the business at hand. Although you’re not sure about just abandoning all your responsibilities, you should be able to get away with letting some things slide today as long as you commit to catching up with your work later on.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This can be a perfect day to fall in love, whether or not you’re on the lookout for romance. Venus and Mercury harmonize with your key planet, Uranus, charging your system with natural charisma and irrepressible desire. There’s no need to worry about stability now; it’s the possible thrill that grabs your attention. However, just because you are attracted to an unusual situation, it’s still not wise to act on every impulse. Consider the consequences before doing anything you might later regret.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you could quietly slip into another dimension, every color would be perfectly matched while your favorite music was playing. Fortunately, there’s no need to travel to a parallel universe today, for everything desirable seems as if it’s right around the next corner, even if you never get there. Instead of trying to make all your dreams come true, pick one and strive to make it real.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Nov. 1

We are reminded of the differences between logic and imagination today as rational Mercury squares intuitive Neptune. This creative yet oftentimes confusing aspect comes on the heels of yesterday’s Venus-Neptune square, so our unrealistic desires are mixed with dreamy thoughts. However, the sensible Capricorn Moon helps us turn our fantasies into reality. The air begins to clear when the Moon shifts into intellectual Aquarius at 6:07 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may not know what to do with the brilliant ideas that pop into your head today. Ironically, friends and coworkers become less convinced that your approach will work the more you try to explain it. They may agree with your position, but they’re not sure that you can transform your clever strategy into a practical plan. It won’t help to ramble on about what you will do. Save your long speeches for another time; for now, lead with actions rather than words.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You believe that you’re being very realistic, but you probably won’t have such a firm grip on reality today. At first you may persuade others that you’re in control, but you are more likely to confuse them as you contradict yourself later on. Although you’re able to explain a complicated concept now, it’s more challenging to just give simple directions. Be smart and let someone else temporarily hold the reins of control.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is in its trickster mode today as it squares irrational Neptune. You may try to think clearly, but it’s challenging to finish sentences when your ideas float off into the mists of illusion and fantasy. Remember your analytical process is muddled now, so don’t be overly certain about what you know. Wait a couple of days before reconsidering your options.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be better off today by remaining as silent as possible. If you avoid saying too much, you can come out of a tangled emotional web appearing as if you are a real hero. Although it could be difficult to see both sides of a conflict now, you still realize that there’s no single straightforward solution. Pretending to have the answer will probably just create disappointment; your wisest strategy is to wait it out. If you have something crucial to add to the discussion, it will be even more relevant in a day or two.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s very reassuring when your personal goals are consistent with your actual duties at work. However, it can be quite disconcerting now if they’re not. Your current situation may be complicated by a friend or business partner who isn’t communicating clearly. If you’re trying to finalize a decision, it would be better to have the support of those around you. Be patient; others will begin to cooperate more in the days ahead.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This can be an unusual but exciting day when you’re more inclined to tell a story or write a poem than act in a fully rational manner. You want everyone to acknowledge how clever you are, but it isn’t easy to concentrate on details today. Don’t set yourself up for failure by trying to deliver something beyond your current capability. Give yourself permission to lose yourself in a daydream; you can always return to your work tomorrow.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your sign of The Scales symbolizes your commitment to seeking balance, even when it’s elusive. You might end up spinning your wheels today if you think you can use logic to find the calm center of the storm. But you won’t re-establish your center of gravity by keeping still; instead of sitting in a yoga pose, imagine that you are a figure skater in motion. Your easy grace arises from being one with the flow rather than trying to cling to the status quo.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t in the mood to argue with anyone who seems to know all the answers since you don’t feel the need to prove anything. However, it won’t help if you just walk away from a discussion simply because you’re afraid that a disagreement will ensue. Remember that it always takes two to create conflict. Demonstrate your wisdom by remaining clear about your facts and beliefs without having to compete with others.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can turn a rather mundane day into an exciting one as long as you don’t attempt to resolve the dualistic way you approach life today. On one hand, you’re thinking like an analytical scientist, carefully observing your current situation in a cool and detached manner. But on the other hand, you’re like an artist, directly engaging your experiences by responding with a wide spectrum of emotions. Each method has something of value to offer, so tune in to your head and your heart at the same time without closing down either one.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You want to believe that your instincts won’t steer you wrong because the Moon is back in your pragmatic sign. However, you may have temporarily lost your ability to separate threads that are spun in your imagination from those that are woven with reality. Normally you are a champ at keeping fact and fiction distinct, yet now the fabric of life contains both. Don’t overanalyze what’s happening; just appreciate the magic of what you can create.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are motivated to communicate the recent vague visions you’ve been having, but the more you try to describe them, the less others understand. Your thoughts are elusive and cannot easily fit into words, unless you have a particular spiritual discipline that helps you to frame your experience. Awakening your inner artist, poet or mystic, however, can help you explain the subtleties of your current perspective.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Logical Mercury is forming a creative square with your ruling planet Neptune, opening your imagination to realities that exist beyond the realm of language. This can be very confusing if you want to be specific in your communication today. Unfortunately, even the most basic ideas are slippery now. Instead of increasing your frustration by trying to manage too many details, put this kind of work off until tomorrow when your concentration returns.

You know you are complete, and you feel deep satisfaction and fulfillment. After such good work, itâ€™s time to celebrate!

November 20^th â€“ November 26^th

The Hermit

Turn inward, away from the distraction of the outer world, and seek guidance from a place of solitude. Donâ€™t be tempted to make important pragmatic decisions, as now is the time to withdraw from the distractions of everyday life.

November 27^th â€“ December 3^rd

Two of Pentacles

You may feel the need to seek balance in your life, but the best results may come from trust and playfulness, rather than caution and deliberation. Juggling may be a joy for you, rather than a burden.

December 4^th â€“ December 10^th

The High Priestess

Tap into the power of reflection and depth, and rely on your dreams and your inner wisdom as the gateway to an initiation into higher consciousness.

December 11^th â€“ December 17^th

Seven of Wands

Someone may challenge your leadership or engage you in a struggle, but you will find it exhilarating, as it will strengthen your abilities and your character.

December 18^th â€“ Yule, December 22^nd, 2011

Rebirth

Though you have entered the darkness and sipped from the cup of silence, now you hear the call to awaken, and are re-born. You have chosen vibrant life!

Your Horoscopes for Monday, October 31st

The practical Capricorn Moon tells us not to trust our feelings, for they are as unstable as the shifting desert sands. Normally, our common sense would prevail when making decisions, but today’s stressful lunar aspects to the personal planets Mars, Mercury and Venus warp our perspectives. Additionally, our desires are further sensitized as romantic Venus squares idealistic Neptune, magnifying the fantasy factor in our attractions to others.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are smooth as silk today and can spin fantastic stories to support your goals. The images you use seem real to others as you describe your plan or try to get someone to join your cause. However, you should tread carefully because you can convince yourself that you are right, even if you’re missing the point. Telling everyone what to do may work out okay as long as you consider the needs of the whole community and not just yours.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not be able to turn off the flow of fantasies that spring forth from your imagination today, but you still can be totally aware of what you do with your ideas. Your idealism enriches your day by bringing an endless supply of creative material, but this stream of ideas or pictures can also distract you from your real work. Escaping into dreams may not seem productive, but using them for motivation is a wise strategy now.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may not be interested in beating around the bush now; you’re eager to say whatever’s necessary to justify your position. Nevertheless, you are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, so you could start off tentatively. You might be pleasantly surprised by all the feedback you receive that clears the way for constructive conversations. Keep your facts straight today, because a faulty assumption on your part can turn a spirited discussion into a comedy of misunderstandings.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Expressing your feelings with someone you trust at work might not be on your agenda today, but something may stimulate a strong reaction, prompting you to share everything that’s on your mind. Be careful because once you begin to talk, you could inadvertently say too much. Thankfully, it’s simple to prevent an awkward situation by just seriously considering what you are going to say before you open your mouth.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your creativity is flowing strongly today, whether you are working or simply enjoying yourself. You might not want to plan too many details of your day, since each activity slips dreamily into the next one. But you must stay on your toes, for your heightened emotions allow you to be easily misled now. Verbal communication may be the source of misunderstandings, so watch what others do before trusting what they say.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have inflated hopes about a family gathering, and can run into trouble if you harbor unrealistic expectations. Your ruling planet Mercury encourages you to daydream now, but you could turn a perfectly sensible idea into a grand fiasco. As tempted as you are to expand on a smart theme, it’s smarter to keep plans simple and the drama to a minimum.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are a master illusionist today as your key planet Venus squares surreal Neptune. This can work to your advantage if you are the host or hostess that ends up dealing with others’ unresolved feelings. Your diplomatic skills assist you in influencing others with your fair-minded perspective. Keep in mind that intuition can lead you down the wrong path, so pay attention to the facts for the greatest positive impact.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Family dynamics may be confusing now because someone is quick to hide his or her true feelings. It’s difficult to know what others want unless you’re willing to climb out on a limb and ask them. This may sound straightforward enough, yet you might end up hearing a lot more than you wanted to know. Nevertheless, you’ll be better off when you learn the truth and then can honestly share what’s on your mind.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The power of your convictions should be enough to help someone else through an episode of low self-esteem today. The smartest reaction to uncertainty now is to quickly get your facts in order, and then talk about what can be done to clarify the issues. Don’t be afraid of looking ahead; the bold actions you take can set the pace for your friends and family.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your schedule may keep you busier than you imagined, even if you were planning on less activity rather than more. But the current noise in your life might seem worse than it really is today because you cannot determine how to turn off the stream of creative thoughts and unconventional feelings. Remembering that you don’t always need to be in control of everything; letting go allows you to enjoy every moment for exactly what it is.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re aware of what’s best for everyone else now, and would like to be acknowledged for your altruistic behavior. However, your ideals could be incongruent with your emotional needs. Fortunately, you won’t have to choose one over the other. If you can muster up enough courage to talk about how your inner desires conflict with your responsibilities, you might be able to achieve satisfaction on both fronts.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have a long list of chores that may be left over from last week, but you seem to feel unsure of your ability to accomplish much at all today. The best strategy to deal with your current concerns is to concentrate on fulfilling your social and professional obligations as soon as possible. Your doubts will lessen as soon as you start crossing things off your list. You can indulge in the pursuit of pleasure once you are done.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 31st

Relationships require more stimulation this week with the love planet Venus moving into restless Sagittarius on Wednesday. Chatty Mercury makes the same shift just a few hours later, opening mouths to speak more freely while spurring hearts to seek excitement. Traveling to new locations and interacting with people from distant cultures are good ways to scratch an itch for romantic adventure.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon slips into tender Pisces and your 12th House of Privacy on Friday morning, which may take you out of the spotlight until Sunday. But spending quiet time with one caring person or even resting up on your own can be a relaxing break from your busy life. It also gives you a chance to review your relationship history, helping you to recognize outmoded habits that need to go so you can be free to fulfill your personal desires.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t always easy but the rewards are well worth the effort now. Your alluring ruling planet Venus enters risk-taking Sagittarius and your 8th House of Intimacy on Wednesday, which raises the stakes in the game of love. If you’re willing to overcome your old limits and give up a little control, you can connect with an exciting new individual or put the spark back into your current partnership.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The opportunities to get more joy out of a current relationship or connect with new and interesting people should multiply this week. Magnetic Venus dances into your 7th House of Partners on Wednesday, making you more attractive to others. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could find a desirable partner who is very different than you. But if you’re already in a relationship, planning a special excursion together will spice things up.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Get ready to spread your wings and fly this weekend. The wistful Pisces Moon is sailing through your 9th House of Adventure, encouraging you to expand your social horizons. Connecting with people from different backgrounds, in educational settings and while traveling, can be especially inspiring. Avoid overly judgmental individuals, though, since compassionate and open-minded folks have much more to offer you now.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The party starts on Wednesday when sassy Mercury and seductive Venus enter outgoing Sagittarius and your 5th House of Romance and Play. Having a good time without making any serious commitments is a great way to ride this joyful wave of enthusiasm. Being more soft and sensitive in your approach to others, though, is recommended on Friday and Saturday with the Moon’s presence in tender Pisces and your 8th House of Intimacy.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Being gentle is a priority this weekend with the Moon in supersensitive Pisces and your 7th House of Partners on Friday and Saturday. Sure, you may not like walking on eggshells, but toning down criticism and reducing analysis is your best strategy. Let feelings lead you now, even if they sometimes seem strange and unreliable. Listening with your heart and giving your head a rest makes more sense than you might think.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Conversations kick into a higher gear with verbose Mercury and vivacious Venus skipping into outgoing Sagittarius and your 3rd House of Communication on Wednesday. Opportunities to connect with others will come more easily when you’re willing to share your ideas more openly. In fact, what starts out as a debate about politics or religion could lead to an emotional bond between you if neither of you lose your cool. Maintaining a healthy sense of humor is a clever way to catch the eye of someone special.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The imaginative Pisces Moon lights up your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. This is a wonderful opportunity to set real world issues aside and bring a little fantasy to your life. Being creative in the pursuit of love prompts your current partner to swoon or, if you’re single, makes you more captivating to someone new. Don’t let the reality of the past limit the dreams you can make come true right now.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your personal life could get a major boost with romantic Venus dancing into your fun-loving sign on Wednesday. Focusing more attention on your appearance amps up the charm that’s already working in your favor. A key to being more attractive to others is to amuse yourself first. When joy radiates from your eyes and laughter comes naturally, others will want to join the party. Yet learning to be sensitive to people’s needs is the last piece to turning you into the complete package.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Conversing with a soft voice and moving in a gentle manner can make you more desirable this weekend. The whimsical Pisces Moon occupies your 3rd House of Communication on Friday and Saturday, which can bring you unexpected moments of delight if you make yourself available to them. Drop your skepticism, because opening up the doors to your mind and your heart allows real love to wander in.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your commitment to causes can be a real boon to your personal life this week. Flirty Venus and friendly Mercury enter outgoing Sagittarius and your 11th House of Groups on Wednesday, mixing idealism with social opportunities. Connecting with someone who shares your beliefs provides a common interest that can fuel a wonderful relationship. Meeting a new companion while socializing in a group is likely now, so hanging out with your friends this weekend improves your chances at finding love.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon in your sweet and sensitive sign on Friday and Saturday can sprinkle a little magic dust on your relationships. Escaping from routine activities and dressing more imaginatively sets the stage for romance. What may start out feeling like a fantasy can turn into something real, so don’t turn away from people and situations that inspire you. Yes, the magical moment may pass, but others will follow if you have faith and keep having fun.

Honoring Yourself

Honoring Yourself
By Artemisia

Most of us know that Samhain is the time of year to honor Mother
Earth with gratitude for the food she has provided us this harvest,
and many of us remember that at Samhain the veil between the worlds
is thin, and that we should honor our Ancestors and those who have
passed over. Many of us honor our loved ones during the holiday
season that follows Samhain, at Thanksgiving, Yule, and Christmas, by
cooking, throwing parties, buying or making gifts, and by attending
gatherings, but how many of us remember to honor ourselves this time
of year?

Just as the moon cycles through its phases thirteen times a year,
from waxing to full to waning to dark again, so do the sun and earth
cycle through their phases together in one year. Beginning at Fall
Equinox, for us here in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun enters the
waning phase in a noticeable way. The days begin to get shorter and
the nights get longer. There is a lot more darkness (and cold
depending on where you live). Samhain marks the point where the
darkness really takes hold and Yule, the winter solstice, is the dark
moon of the solar year.

What does this waning into dark phase mean to us and how can we use
this time to honor ourselves? Well let’s think about the waning moon
for a moment. This time of the month energetically corresponds to a
woman’s cycle just before her bleeding time begins. During this
period, we can become extra sensitive or angry because we are no
longer able to put up with things in our lives that make us unhappy.
We no longer hide our emotions. In fact, we can’t keep them from
coming out. This time of the month is about letting go of old,
negative thought forms or self-talk which hold us back and don’t do
us any good. It’s about speaking up for yourself and communicating
what you need from others around you and how they should treat you.
It’s also a time of letting go of emotional attachments to extraneous
material possessions, projects and people that drain our energy, and
of clearing space in our lives for the transformation and healing
that comes when we finish bleeding and/or the moon breaks from the
dark into the new.

In the bigger, solar picture, during the waning and dark parts of the
year, we can honor ourselves by taking time out of our hectic
schedules just for us. Make time and space to be alone and reflect
upon the past year. What is no longer of use to you? What needs to
change? Get in touch with your heart and find out how you truly feel
and what is really important to you. Once you are clear about what
is holding you back and what needs to be cleaned out, make the time
to release it. You can do this through physical acts like a thorough
housecleaning or a new haircut or symbolically through ritual or
meditation. Whatever it is you need to release, honor yourself by
taking the steps necessary to clear away the excess baggage. After
you have let it all go, take time to enjoy, celebrate, accept and
love the new, lighter you.

I’d also like to encourage you to honor yourself during this busy
season by tending to your body in addition to your spirit. The
fresh, seasonal foods this time of year are very tempting: bright
orange pumpkins, multi-colored squashes, red and yellow apples,
purple and green grapes, yellow and golden pears, pink pomegranates,
dark leafy greens, brown nuts of all shapes and sizes, red juicy
cranberries. Nourish yourself by taking part of Mother Earth’s
harvest and celebrating the mystery and magic of the growth cycle.
As it gets colder and darker, keep yourself warm with bright,
cheerful, herbs and spices in your drinks and cooking such as ginger,
cayenne, curry, garlic, cinnamon and pepper. This time of year,
especially when we are so busy, it is easy to neglect our bodies.
Take time for yourself to stretch and move around joyfully to keep
your inner healing fire burning. Perhaps even consider learning tai
chi, yoga, pilates or meditation to access the healing power of your
breath and bring yourself peace and calm in the midst of the most
hectic season of the year.

Whatever you do, make sure that it feels good to you. The easiest
way to honor yourself is to live a joyful life.

Many Blessings for a Loving Holiday Season!

Lady of the Crossroads

Lady of the Crossroads
by Heathwitch

One on three
which way to go
a second stood still
faces outcast
Darkness about clasped
with snake and lion and hound
thin veins under leather
untouched by time
outstretched a touch
with eyes of heaven.
One on three
take a step
make a choice
I will be with you
silent when needed
A fury when you fear
Face the Moon
I will be here.
.
At Samhain, our thoughts turn toward the memory of our ancestors, the mysteries of death and rebirth, the practice of divination. We decorate our altars with blacks and oranges, photographs of those who have passed on, and we commune with the Lords and Ladies of the Underworld such as the Greek Goddess Hecate.

Hecate is the Thracian Goddess of the moon, absorbed as a Titan by the Greeks and worshipped at crossroads, for She has the ability to see past, present and future pathways. Though most commonly perceived as a Crone Goddess, Hecate can also appear as a Maiden, terrible and beautiful to behold.

She is the dark Goddess, the Lady of the Wild Hunt and keeper of occult knowledge and wisdom. Known as the “Goddess of Witches” and the “Patroness of Priestesses”, Hecate stands at the gateway between life and death, such is Her role as Queen of the Underworld and the Lady of Spirits. She is also the changer, the one who destroys in order to cause rebirth and regeneration.

Hecate’s roles are not solely tied to the “darker” aspects of life however. She is also the midwife who blesses new life in the world, the teacher who guides seekers and the witness who aides with decision-making and determining truth, the giver of courage and strength. She is intuition and psychic ability, the Lady of dreams and nightmares who helps us see the deeper, shadow-side of our psyches. She is the Wise Woman who sees all and knows all, and who will willingly share Her knowledge and wisdom with you, if you but ask.

Hecate’s colours are deep reds, purples and black, and She rules over all wild animals in particular dragons, dogs, frogs, horses, reptiles, toads and snakes. Her trees are willow and yew, most commonly seen in graveyards, and She can be found in the tarot cards the Hermit, the Moon and the High Priestess.

You can invite Hecate into your life by mixing an oil for Her (add 10 drops cypress oil, 6 drops patchouli oil and 4 drops sandalwood oil to 20ml of base oil) and including it in a ritual or meditation dedicated to Hecate. Alternatively you could make an incense blend to honour this Goddess try the following recipe:

½ part crushed garlic
½ part mandrake root
½ part mugwort
2 parts willow bark
1 part lavender
4 parts myrrh
A few drops of cypress oil
A few drops of myrrh oil

You can also work with Hecate in ritual; She can be invoked to aid in inner exploration, dream-work, divination, healing, spells of all kinds, banishings and the release of negativity, communicating with the dead, and meditations and journeys to your inner self.

At Samhain, Hecate can be called upon to focus your intuition when practicing divination on this night when the veils between the world are thin. She can be invoked for help in spell workings and the making of charms, or to help in soul-searching meditations.

Most often, though, Hecate is invoked at Samhain to aid in honouring and contacting our Beloved Dead, those who have passed from this physical life before us:

Decorate the altar with blacks and oranges. Use flowers of the same colours, and fruits of the season (pumpkins, root vegetables). Light orange and black candles if possible and use a mixture of cedarwood and sweetgrass incense — cedarwood for purification, sweetgrass for your ancestors.

Assemble on your altar pictures of your ancestors and mementos you may have received from them.

Cast circle in your usual way. Invoke Hecate:

“Hecate, Goddess of the Realm of Spirits,
She who stands at the crossroads,
Seer of past, present and future,
Guardian of all Witches and Lady of the Dark,
I ask you to come forth into my circle
And stand with me this night
Hail and welcome!”

Feel Hecate come into your circle. Sit with your altar and slowly focus on each of your ancestors. Speak aloud of their life and their impact on you. Ask Hecate to acknowledge your reverence of those who have gone before, and ask that your ancestors know of your love and thoughts.

Take your time and do not be afraid of the emotions which may come to you; embrace them and welcome them into your circle. As you speak of your ancestors you may feel them draw near from the Summerlands; do not be afraid — instead, feel touched by their presence and thank them for all they mean to you.

Thank Hecate and your ancestors for their presence and say goodbye. Blow out the candles and take up circle.

Have a Blessed Samhain!

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 29

Although the cosmic currents aren’t as strong as they were yesterday, we are still riding an optimistic wave of energy that’s rolling in from the uplifting Sagittarius Moon. We aren’t inclined to stop and calculate our odds for success before taking a risk, since the idea of having an adventure is better than doing nothing at all. Fortunately, harmonious lunar aspects later in the day indicate a positive outcome if we maintain a sense of balance.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have a lot going on in your life now, and yet you’re still very enthusiastic about what’s ahead. Even though your current trajectory is leading you into exciting new territory, it’s going to take a while for you to reach your goals. Keep in mind that there’s no time for distracting yourself with unimportant frivolities. Procrastination is tempting, but self-discipline is required if you’re going to deliver what you promised.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might be concerned with what happens next in an existing personal or business relationship. Even if you’re pleased that the everyday routine is functioning smoothly now, you can’t help but still want more. It’s beneficial to reach beyond existing assumptions and limitations. Although there may be good news right around the corner, you must take the initiative and extend yourself to receive it.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It feels as if a world of possibilities is opening up in front of you now and you’re able to get a hint of what your future might be like. However, it may not seem like the vision is really yours because it probably is shared with you by a friend or co-worker. Unfortunately, you could easily miss a significant piece of information if you’re distracted by your own thoughts. Listen carefully and be receptive to what you hear so that you know what steps to take next.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your first reaction to a new opportunity at work could be one of uncertainty because you think that others are in denial about the amount of effort that will be required to complete the job right. You’re tempted to set them straight if you believe that they’re leaving out important details, but this might make you sound more negative than you actually feel. Don’t respond immediately; take time and consider how to speak your truth in a constructive and positive manner.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your straightforward approach can be somewhat disconcerting to someone close to you today. You have a good sense of what you want and could surprise yourself by taking a chance and expressing your feelings. Just remember that your overtures are more likely to succeed if you adopt a more cautious attitude that allows time for processing along the way. It may be challenging to contain your energy now, but you must slow down and create a strong foundation instead of building a castle on shifting sand.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s uncharacteristic of you to become so enthused about your future that you’re tempted to start something new without regard for your regular sense of caution. Although you’re eager to act with spontaneity today, it’s not a smart idea to move ahead until you have all of the facts. The more advanced planning you do now, the better the results.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might believe that you can get away with almost anything now because your air of confidence can clear previously insurmountable obstacles from your path. But your positive attitude won’t fix everything; you aren’t invincible. Don’t waste energy trying to reach unrealistic goals; instead make sure your plans are sensible and that you can complete whatever you start.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There is a fork in the road that requires you to choose the difficult path or the easier one. At first it seems like a straightforward decision, but the curves ahead obscure your vision. Wherever you want to go today, you have a better chance of getting there if you follow the map. Ultimately, the level of difficulty doesn’t matter. What’s important is taking concrete steps to simplify your life.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can make an inspiring assessment of what’s happening in your life today with the Moon in your visionary sign. You’re in touch with your needs and can clearly communicate them to others in a concise manner. However, this is not the right time to waste energy on lighthearted frivolities, even if you’re in a good mood and feel ready to party. Instead, concentrate on what’s most significant; a serious approach will take you further now than one based upon humor.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your imagination can reveal the truth today, even if you’re just daydreaming, as the opinionated Sagittarius Moon forms a supportive sextile with your key planet Saturn. But even if you know what’s happening, you may not be ready to tell anyone else yet since the Moon is hiding in your 12th House of Secrets. Keeping your perspective to yourself until tomorrow allows you to refine your thoughts until they’re ready for prime time viewing.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s visit to your communal 11th house indicates that social networks are a lifeline to your future as friends and acquaintances encourage you to reach for the stars. However, it’s not really important if you’re able to turn your fantasies into reality today. Either way, it’s exhilarating to feel free enough to allow your thoughts to show you what’s possible tomorrow. Save your practicality for another day; being visionary in your thinking is enough for now.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are ambitiously looking ahead so you can map out the exact details of your strategy. Thankfully, you are thinking beyond the limitations of your current job as you try to figure out your place in the world. But setting your expectations too high could leave you feeling disappointed. Nevertheless, dream big; just put your plan into action one small step at a time.

Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, Octoger 29

uddenly, it is as though the universe has experienced a meltdown or concussion and lost its bearings. Instead of attacking humanity with cosmic guns blazing, it is receding to the sidelines – undoubtedly to refuel and eventually get cracking with more intensity during the first week of November. Right now you have a Saturday where Venus forms a robust parallel to Pluto (8:16AM PDT) – a rather intense alignment on most days. However, this morning it appears to be a boost for antique hunters and collectible aficionados as well as artists of any stripe. Of course, if you fall into the trap of being egocentric and selfish – for whatever reason – this Venus-Pluto encounter can turn against you. While many of yesterday’s potent alignments remain active in the psychic atmosphere, you can also take advantage of the fun-loving, humorous and cheerful essence contained within Sagittarius Moon. Here’s another evening to kick up your feels and enjoy your favorite form of entertainment. If you want to continue working on beloved hobbies or construction projects, positive lunar aspects to Saturn (8:19PM PDT) and Mars (11:04PM PDT) will keep you busy.

Wishing All My Dear Friends, A FANTASTIC Saturday!

Tree: Blackthorn, yew
Herbs: Aspen, bistort, comfrey, horsetail, Solomon’s seal

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 or encourage those who owe you favors or money to repay. He will help banish pain and illness and bring acceptance of what cannot be changed. He represents the constraints of fate, time and space, but can also challenge into opportunity if you are prepared to work hard and persevere.

The Crone

Posted byPatrick McCleary

In my third and final installment covering the aspects of the Goddess, we turn to the Crone. Ancient Hag of the boundless wisdom. I hope that you enjoyed the last two sections.

Charge of the Crone

Come closer my grandchildren sit at my feet and hear my words. Let me tell you the story of my life and the lessons I have learned. Know that I am the Darksome terrible Goddess, but I only bring terror to those who do not understand.

I am Hecate, the Crossroads. I am Morganna, Raven of Battles. I am the widow descending to the Underworld to find my lost husband and my future son. And I am the womb that they are born from.

Know that at lifes end I will be waiting for you; to guide you through death and into rebirth. And that I will be there at birth to guide you through birth into life.

To truly taste life is to worship me. For Magick and art are my domains and my greatest lesson is love itself. So let there be compassion in your anger, power in your humbleness and mirth balanced against discipline.

Yet remember that if you seek to remove my veil and see my true face you have only to look within for I am always with you from the beginning to the end.

AspectsWho is the Crone? She is the one who, wrapped in mystery, brings the wisdom that is key to unlock the ancient mysteries. She is blunt and sometimes harsh but that is only because she has learned the value of unfettered honesty. The end of her life draws near and she has no time to indulge people in their illusions. She can be turned to when the world has baffled you, because she has lived a long life and more likely then not she has already solved the puzzle that faces you.See her face in the dark of the Moon and the cool night shadows and look within to know that she has always been with you from birth through death. She is the tomb that is the womb that leads from death into the rebirth and new life.

The Crone goddess of the Welsh was Cerridwen. A shape-shifting goddess of divination and enchantment. Her cauldron is a symbol of death and of life. It represents the womb and the tomb through which we have all passed and will pass again.

Her cauldron can contain the elixir of immortality that allows us to pass through death and into rebirth to live again. It may also contain the waters of Knowledge. Which would make it the Grail that Arthur seeked so long for. For a king of the Celts ruled by the will of the Goddess.

The ancient race of the Slavs worshipped a Goddess called Baba Yaga. She is the old crone that guards the Water of Life and Death. She is oftentimes represented as the wild untamed forces of nature but as we know the storm brings the water of life allowing for rebirth.

Her symbols are the birch tree, the tree of beginnings and endings. She was also known as the White Lady as she is stiff and white and carved of bone
