*The Waxing Moon is the ideal time for magick to draw things toward you.

We may lose any sense of objectivity we have now as our blind optimism obscures troublesome facts. Although the power of positive thinking helps us overcome some obstacles, overconfidence creates more problems than it solves when mischievous Mercury opposes bombastic Jupiter today. The Moon’s shift into imaginative Pisces at 7:48 pm EST blurs fact with fancy, and her conjunction with surreal Neptune encourages us to make up our own truth.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may talk as if you’re on top of your game today, but you might be surprised when you realize the powerful effect you have on people in your immediate environment. Even if you are doing a bit of daydreaming now, consider making practical changes based on concrete experiences rather than some philosophical tangent. But don’t attempt to fix everything all at once; take one step at a time.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Powerful people at work can totally overwhelm you with their grandiose plans today. It’s apparent their ideas are misguided and they need to pay closer attention to the finer points. It may be your job now to gently remind others that even the greatest journeys are dependent on getting the details right. Instead of just saying yes, it’s crucial to tell the truth exactly as you see it. Being the messenger isn’t always easy, but someone has to do it and this time it’s you.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You might feel as if you have promised more than you can deliver today. Perhaps you have lost focus and are overcompensating by trying to accomplish too much. The simplest solution is to be honest, but you may be afraid to admit that you’re in over your head. Nevertheless, there’s no reason to pretend that you have it all together if you actually don’t. You will be better off in the long run by showing your vulnerability now and asking for help.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Fun and games sound better than hard work, but you’re not in the mood to skip out and join your friends, even if it looks like they’re having a good time. You are more likely to encourage everyone else to play while you stay behind to fulfill your obligations. It’s not that you have such an impeccable work ethic; rather, you couldn’t relax now knowing how much you have to do. Cover your bases first and then join up with your pals later.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may have to take a stand at work today; however, you might oversimplify a rather complex issue in order to make your point. There are conflicting opinions to be considered now, yet each person seems to be working with a different set of facts. Even if you believe that your solution is the most elegant, be prepared to let the group consensus override your personal position. Building trust with your community is more important than being right.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Although you’re often the champion of details, today it’s difficult to sustain your concentration. Even a quick phone call or short email could turn into a major project that distracts you from your goals. Every little thought opens a door to another journey of epic proportions. However, you don’t have to go on every trip that’s offered. Do yourself a favor by keeping your life as simple as possible until you’re truly ready for something new.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Normally you can avoid stress by talking out of both sides of your mouth until you muster up enough courage to begin a difficult conversation. However, today you may be eager to share your most intense desires. Your direct approach and willingness to go out on a limb could surprise others and possibly even put them off. Broach the subject slowly and wait for positive acknowledgment before going further.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may grow impatient in a relationship-oriented conversation today because the other person seems to take forever to say even the simplest thing. Maybe part of the problem is that you are sure of yourself when it comes to feelings, even if you choose to remain silent. However, once you decide to play your hand, you might dive right in. Paradoxically, you can speed things up by backing off and allowing others the time to put their emotions into words.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
It may be challenging to keep your mind on your own agenda today when other people lure you into stories about their fantastic ideas. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to remember that you are the one who is in control of your own thoughts. If you accomplish your assigned tasks first, then you’ll have adequate time later on to get lost in your dreams or go along for a ride on someone else’s.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The intensity of your co-workers may become overwhelming today, yet listening to their crazy ideas can also be a major source for growth and fun. In fact, this could be a perfect moment to participate in team sports, join a club or get active in a social cause. Even if it’s a workday, set your obligations aside for a while and make plans to enjoy the sweet company of others.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You have something important to say today, yet it seems as if you don’t have enough time to start the conversation. Activities at work may be pulling your energy away from personal matters, but it’s critical to find enough balance so you don’t ignore your home and family. Although you might not be able to tackle the entire situation all at once, begin by talking about what’s most crucial and move on from there.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It feels as if others are leaning on you today, but you may not be very emotionally available to them. Someone might want to talk about a specific issue, but your overly optimistic mood motivates you to stick with generalities. This difference of approach doesn’t need to be problematic as long as you’re willing to give a little for the sake of lasting friendship. Opening your heart is enough to invite positive change.
The Moon moves into your impetuous sign on Thursday, adding fire and passion to your emotions until midday on Saturday. Impatience may cause you to leap without looking or to say something that you might regret. Yet this could be the final push you need to take the initiative in connecting with someone new or to break out of predictable patterns in a current relationship. Change is risky but more desirable now than playing it safe.
You may feel rushed later in the week with the Moon in hurry-up Aries and your sensitive 12th House of Secrets. But you should find yourself in a more comfortable position starting midday on Saturday with a lunar shift into your sensual sign. Your desire for pleasure could be off the charts with Venus, your loving ruling planet, opposing boundless Jupiter that night. Too much of a good thing might prove costly, but it can be a lot fun in the moment.
Pals bring a lot of sparkle to your personal life with the Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Groups from Thursday morning to Saturday afternoon. Try doing some new and different things with friends or volunteering with a worthy organization. Helping others could turn out to be a great way to help yourself. Saturday night amorous Venus opposes generous Jupiter in your sign, encouraging you to say more, do more and make promises that could be difficult to keep.
The Sun’s entry into your 7th House of Partners on Friday is a time to start seeking more clarity about relationships. It’s healthy to think about what you want in your present situation or in a potential new one. You may deal with demanding individuals now, but it’s important to stand up for yourself. Still, you could feel a bit isolated this weekend until the Moon slips into cozy Taurus on Saturday afternoon, providing you with support and comfort from friends.
You could be in for a deliciously playful weekend. The pleasure planet Venus is hanging out in your 5th House of Romance, opposing permissive Jupiter on Saturday night. This is a sexy invitation to fun and games of an adult nature. It’s easy to love the one you’re with or someone new in this openhearted environment. You may be willing to give more than you get, but being generous is wonderful if it’s done for a person worthy of your gifts.
Put away your cost-analysis calculator this weekend because common sense isn’t worth all that much when it comes to love. There’s a holiday spirit of excess in the air that may spur some playfully irresponsible behavior. It’s healthier, and will make you happier, to surrender to the fun now rather than fighting the foolishness. If you truly don’t want to play, graciously step out of the way instead of sitting in judgment of those who are relaxing their self-restraint.
The excitable Aries Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners from Thursday morning to Saturday afternoon. This fiery energy can provoke excitement, some of it sexy, some of it feisty, but all of it bound to keep you on your toes. It is difficult to reason with unreasonable people so don’t exhaust yourself engaging in endless debates with them. Saturday night, though, can be lots of fun if you don’t take yourself or anyone else very seriously.
A lunar transit into earthy Taurus and your 7th House of Others on Saturday is likely to attract some delightful companionship. It’s vital, though, to let go of the past so that you fully enjoy the present. There’s a party going on that night and you can choose to close your eyes to the raucous atmosphere or give up your grievances to dive in with passionate enthusiasm. The pleasure may be fleeting, but the joy you experience will be well worth the ride.
Saturday night could be very special with sexy Venus in your outgoing sign opposing your lucky ruling planet Jupiter. Your hunger for pleasure increases your appetite for fun but that’s no reason to stop enjoying yourself. Just remember that a little bit of self-control can go a long way toward helping you to avoid major mistakes. Pushing the limits in relationships might feel thrilling, as long as you don’t cross a line now that you will regret later on.
You tend to work hard and play hard, but it’s definitely the pleasure side that wins this weekend. The spotlight is on you once the Sun shifts into your ambitious sign on Friday morning. But the Moon moves into sensual Taurus and your 5th House of Romance on Saturday afternoon, which is an invitation to set responsibilities aside. If you’ve been overly restrained in your behavior lately, the holiday spirit could carry you beyond the bounds of reason. If you’re going to act a little wild and crazy, just make sure to do it in a safe place with people you can trust.
You could feel like you’re the ringmaster of a crazy circus this weekend. Planets are popping Saturday night while you might be feeling more responsible for others than usual. It doesn’t help that the Moon is in your 10th House of Obligation while everyone else wants to party. Maybe you get to be the designated driver or need to act as the sane adult managing your wild friends. If you handle the job graciously, great; but if you are just going to complain, you should consider staying away from the action, altogether.
Saturday afternoon is a good time for an emotional conversation, now that the Moon is in realistic but gentle Taurus and your 3rd House of Communication. If you’re in a relationship, putting it on solid ground frees both of you to relax and enjoy the evening. If you’re single, a discussion with a reliable person helps you clarify your values and your needs. Then you can let go of long-term personal ambitions to enjoy the freedom of a guiltless Saturday night.
You may as well get going early today with the favorable universal winds of lunar Aquarius at your beck and call. A subtle, 30-degree link between Mercury and distant Pluto (2:26AM PST) is good for reading, writing and research. The Moon approaching a supportive, 60-degree liaison with the Sun (forming exactly at 10:13AM PST) is a general boost for accomplishing key morning tasks. However, once the aspect is precise, a void-of-course lunar uncertainty zone is established for the next 6+ hours until 4:49PM PST and the arrival of Pisces Moon. You may be able to dot a few i’s and cross a few t’s in your business wheeling-and-dealing during the void limbo time-span since Mercury makes its annual opposition to Jupiter (11:23AM PST). Nevertheless, keep in mind that Mercury-Jupiter as a polarity can heighten tensions on the communication and transportation fronts. Just after the Moon’s entry into usually psychic and imaginative Pisces (4:49PM PST), your interest can grow in meditation, affirmations and visualization exercises as the Moon forms its monthly union with Neptune (6:08PM PST). Learn more about UFOs, ETs, pyramid power, ancient ruins, the Mayan civilization, astronomy and astrology as the Sun makes its annual union with the heart center of our galaxy. Dance the night away with an eager partner under the blissful sounds of psychically tuned-in Pisces.
During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.

We grow uneasy today as we yearn to be part of something greater than ourselves. Our thinking shifts from individual needs toward community issues, and even humanity as a whole, when the Moon visits socially conscious Aquarius. There is dynamic tension between the personal feelings of the Moon and the intellectual detachment of Aquarius. But a square between sensual Venus and dreamy Neptune reminds us that our desires might be built on fantasy.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You want to know about everything that’s happening now, yet there’s more occurring than meets the eye. Trouble may be brewing and your role in the situation isn’t clear because your imagination is overtaking reality. You could be restless, even rebellious. Life is playing games with you today, but you might miss the action if your concentration lapses. Paying close attention to what is real is the most important thing you can do.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Although you might not be clear about your place in the outer world now, you’re pretty sure that something feels good — and that’s enough for you to pursue it. However, your senses and your imagination are being overstimulated today, challenging you to maintain good judgment. If something disappoints you, this is reality’s way of telling you what you need to know. Don’t hold on to an illusion; uncovering the truth can feel surprisingly liberating in the end.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
It’s difficult to know who your allies are now because the signals are rather confusing. Someone close to you may be difficult to read today, making it tricky navigating your course through the weird circumstances that are playing out in your life. You could get so worked up that it’s hard to find your way back to mental clarity. But instead of panicking and seeking an immediate answer, let the circumstances develop for a day or two until you have a healthier perspective.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Even if someone thinks you are acting a bit strange today, you still could be truly inspired. Your senses are so finely tuned now that you might be able to hear mermaids singing sea chants in an unintelligible forgotten language. Oddly, these strange sounds make perfect sense and you intuitively know exactly what they mean. The waters of your subconscious are rising but there’s no threat of danger, so don’t bother trying to hold back the flood.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
A close friend or lover may throw you a curve ball today and you might not see it coming. Thankfully, it doesn’t feel all that unpleasant even if you do get broadsided by a surprising situation, especially if you’re able to let go of your previous expectations. Instead of trying to regain control of your day, relax and see where the new path leads. A little uncertainty can inspire you to express yourself in a highly creative manner.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You’re being drawn out beyond the comfort of your analytical mind today. The logical answers that you like to have at your fingertips are just beyond your reach now, prompting you to lose your rhythm as you go about your day. However, this intellectual fuzziness has a purpose; forget about the details and let your intuition be your guide.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your common sense may be temporarily unavailable, leaving you to feel as if you’re on your own without any guidance. In this moment all you have is your next whim, so don’t try to suppress these powerful products of your imagination. Nevertheless, acting as if every fantasy is real will only complicate your life. Enjoy your daydreams, but keep the facts separate from your creative fiction.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You can delve into the depths of your own inner world today or become fascinated with someone else’s. Either way, be prepared to go on a magical yet bewildering ride, since it may be impossible to know what is real as you are experiencing it. You might actually slip into a parallel universe for a while as you are entranced by a fantasy. If you have the courage to go on this imaginative journey, you’ll return soon enough with a treasure from the distant reaches of your own subconscious mind.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are often quite certain about your personal tastes, but can talk yourself into liking almost anything now. You are being pulled into a beautiful dream by an emotional craving that is stronger than your normal desires. You may gravitate toward someone or something, only to realize in a few days’ time that your perceptions weren’t real — except within your own imagination. Exercising good judgment today prevents an unnecessary letdown just around the corner.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You might be surprised at the power of your inner voice if you rely on your own experiences today. You believe that you’re speaking with clarity of vision and strength of purpose. But even if others think that you are a force to be reckoned with now, you still should be careful with how you pursue your ambitions. Avoid taking any shortcuts or trying to mislead anyone. You will have the allies you need if your friends and family respect your integrity and your work.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your emotions may be bent out of shape today and it’s difficult to know what to do about it. Whatever corrective action you choose, don’t hold your uncertainty inside or you could explode like a volcano releasing steam. But even if you are confused about what you want, a dose of old-fashioned charm can soften the hearts of those around you, allowing you to make it through the day without incident.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Expressing your hopes about the future may be difficult today, prompting you to feel detached from your inner self. Do something eccentric or unusual to reconnect with your dreams or you might have to look for an escape hatch with more serious consequences. A mini-vacation or spiritual retreat could be just what the doctor ordered at this time. However, if you can’t get away now, enjoy planning something special for the near future.
Aquarius Moon continues the focus on achieving results in your main fields of expertise within your neighborhood, community, nation or around the world. Giving you an injection of self-assurance are a mentally expansive Moon-Jupiter trine in air signs (5:39AM PST), plus an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mars to Uranus (5:55AM PST). A favorable Mars-Uranus rapport can become a bold energizer across the board. However, not long after this aspect occurs, Mercury makes an abrasive, 45-degree to Mars (7:11AM PST) and then Venus squares Neptune (10:24AM PST). Suddenly, it’s easy to become your own worst enemy if you are not careful. Think about what you say before you blurt something out that you will quickly regret. Watch out for growing confusion in love and money matters. Be generous with hugs and kisses to nurture family members on the rocks. As the day progresses, take some timeouts for reflection and contemplation as the Moon parallels Saturn (11:12AM PST) and Neptune (12:49PM PST) while Mercury forms a subtle and yet still constructive, 30-degree tie with Saturn (5:10PM PST). Be on the lookout for advanced opportunities in your realms of high achievement as the Sun unites with the Galactic Heart Center in late-Sagittarius during the next 48 hours.
During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.
Elementals are the forces behind each act of creation and destruction. They conduct the life force through nature. Each of the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) is manifest through the essences of the individual elements. They translate the blueprints of the nature devas into the actual flowers, trees or crystals. Elementals give the seeds the power to grow and the energy to flourish as mature trees. They continue to energize the cycle of growth, maturity and decay through the scattering of new seeds until the eventual bark decays, the tree dies and is replaced; in the case of a Yew tree this can take up to two thousand years.
Elementals don’t exist permanently as separate entities from their elements. Nor do they have distinct species or personal characteristics in the same way as for example a gnome, the archetypal earth nature spirit, does. However, they can appear as wavy, flickering, flame-like figures, as swirling shimmers of water rising from a waterfall, as darting flashes of light in the air or as a wispy mist rising over the land. People fleeing from forest fires have described how animated flames seem to curl like huge fingers to snatch at them.
When an elemental has finished its task, which could last from a few minutes to a thousand years or more, they return to their own element in undifferentiated form. They can change size and appearance while they are animated, but remain as part of the same element. What is more they cannot after the first creation brought the elements into being, be created or destroyed.
The elemental beings are, therefore, the bridge of power between the material and spiritual plane.
We are motivated to finish our chores today with the Moon in ambitious Capricorn, yet her shift into futuristic Aquarius at 4:52 pm EST releases us from having to be so practical. We may still be feeling the intellectual buzz from yesterday’s innovative Mercury-Uranus trine, triggering impulsive outbursts even if we try to remain quiet. Unfortunately, suppression won’t work; it’s healthier to express our thoughts gradually throughout the day.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may be feeling anxious today and ready to unload your building anger with just the slightest provocation. However, beneath the apparent aggression is an important message that could get lost in your intensity. Releasing the pent-up energy is a good idea. Just do it gracefully, so everyone can handle your unexpected emotional disclosure. Being bold and saying what’s on your mind might just lead to a brilliant breakthrough.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You receive support from today’s pragmatic Capricorn Moon, but she still might challenge you to act sensibly. Keep your mind on business now, rather than getting lost in personal dramas that are beyond your control. Try not to let someone provoke you; steer clear of emotional conflicts that don’t concern you. This could turn out to be an exciting and productive day if you can simply concentrate on a positive message.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Your clever tongue is especially sharp today, but you might be more inclined to take direct action instead of just talking about your intentions. If you’re in a rut, go ahead and create fireworks to change the mood. But once the light show is over, don’t return to the same old comfort zone. Instead, try new solutions that can set the tone for an exciting year ahead.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Trusting your feelings is usually a sensible strategy, but now it’s a bit of a trickier process. Your emotions are operating at a higher frequency and you’re eager to spring into action. However, it may be too easy to get lured into a relationship drama that isn’t even yours — until you find yourself in the middle of a crisis. However, keeping your opinions to yourself today makes the day flow more smoothly. Minding your own business enables you to rise above the noise.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may feel as if you’re being tested today as you attempt to do your job effectively. But even if you think you’re doing well, someone might not agree. It’s critical to listen to the feedback that others are giving you now. A situation could unravel quickly unless you tie up the loose ends. Take advantage of the present moment and be willing to compromise in order to move forward.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may be feeling down-to-earth, but your behavior reveals a less sensible side to your personality today. Unfortunately, you can be frustrated in your unsuccessful attempts to convey how well you could manage a rather sticky situation. Perhaps this is because others worry that your solution might not fix anything. Don’t be so sure of yourself that you miss what’s most important.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are extremely busy this holiday season, and it won’t likely let up through the end of the year. Nevertheless, you still have pressing choices to make now, so don’t get completely sidetracked by the craziness, especially if you can avoid it. Keep your eyes on your goals and worry just a little less about everyone else. If you slip off track, just consciously refocus on your original plan.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The present situation seems familiar, but it’s highly possible that you only played through the scenario in your mind. Now it’s time to live it out in reality as the currents of change pick up speed. You could exhaust yourself trying to fight it, but it’s smarter to just go with the flow. Even if you’re not heading exactly where you want to go today, remember that the tides can reverse directions suddenly. Save your strength for later on when you’ll need it to reach your final destination.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You’re ready to put your plans into action and probably feel confident that everything’s going to fall into place now. But instead of concentrating on reaching your goal, focus on your deepest core values that inspire you, instead. If you have too many things to do on your list, you might not know where to start. However, if you have your priorities in order, you can make decisions moment by moment and still accomplish what you set out to do.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You feel grounded with the evocative Moon still in your earthy sign, but there’s also a lingering anxiety that won’t let you relax as a complex situation grows even more complicated. Any negative energy you are withholding might erupt if you don’t vent it somehow. Take time to examine your buried feelings and then express them in a kind and loving manner. It may be stressful at first, but everyone will appreciate the chance to clear the air.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You can feel the excitement turn into tension today as the Moon moves into your high-strung sign. You want to be seen and heard now, and will work to overcome obstacles that stand in your way. But don’t do something rash unless you can rationalize it, because impulsive actions might create distracting situations. Sometimes it’s wise to just observe what’s happening without having to do anything about it.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Although you may feel overwhelmed by the demands of life, it’s not just irrelevant noise that requires your attention today. You have obligations to fulfill and lessons to learn now from surrendering to the chaotic flow of events. Try slipping into the holiday spirit if you’re looking for ways to blow off some excess energy. However, don’t overdo it or you could sail by the treasure that’s right in front of you at this time.
Stop, look and listen! It’s easy to stub your toe or go down a blind alley due to self-centered attitudes as the Moon unites with Mars in Capricorn (12:18AM PST). Have the courage to convey your convictions to loved ones, but don’t be so belligerent that you offend the people who turn your world around on a daily basis. Do a little artistic and creative shape-shifting between this intense aspect and the next one since the Moon approaches a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Venus (becoming precise at 1:16PM PST). Any favorable Moon-Venus liaison is a reminder to enhance your love life and expand your social circle. The several hours just prior to the Moon-Venus connection are the most beneficial as this alignment also starts a void lunar cycle that lasts 38 minutes until 1:54PM PST when the Moon enters service-oriented Aquarius. The Moon in the eleventh sign of the zodiac puts an emphasis on group projects, team sports, community events, and global causes close to your heart and soul. Work hard to be a savvy problem-solver and expert strategist even though the Sun squares Pallas (4:10PM PST). Find time to play mind-stretching games like chess and backgammon. Good fortune may try to seek you out as Venus enters fiery, optimistic Sagittarius (8:39PM PST). Between now and January 8, utilize this excellent Venusian zodiacal placement to win friends and influence colleagues about your innovative ideas. Have fun at an impromptu party tonight.
Feralia: Day of Purification
Color: White
Element: Air
Altar: On a white cloth put a lit candle, incense, a cup of water, and a bowl of salt.
Offering: Although this day is not a day of total silence, it is a solemn day and talking should be done only when necessary and in quiet tones. Bodies should be thoroughly cleaned during the bathing hour, and then the altar area should be cleaned and purified with all four elements. Each person, upon entering the altar space at the beginning of Sponde should remove their clothing and be naked, and each body should be purified with the four elements and marked with water and salt, at which point they may enrobe again. Chores of the day should concentrate on cleaning and repair.
Daily Meal: Vegan and extremely simple and plain.
Feralia Invocation
Breathe the air into your body
And breathe out again,
And as you breathe out,
Let all grime and corruption
Depart on that breath
(All breathe together for twelve breaths.)
Feel the blood coursing through your body
And imagine it clean
Of anything but what should be there.
Feel the energy coursing through your body
And wash it clean
Of anything that does not belong.
Feel the Earth beneath you,
Remember that She can absorb all
Remember that all rot is her provenance
Draw her energy up into you
And give it back again.
(After this grounding, all breathe together again in a yogic breathing pattern for the next half an hour, after which all will go with water and salt and incense and fire to all rooms in the house and cleanse them. Great care should be taken for the rest of the day not to disturb the energy of the freshly cleaned house.)
[Pagan Book of Hours]
The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

This ritual may help ease your pain. Take a walk. As you walk, look for an ordinary stone that appeals to you. Place this stone on your altar. As you meditate about your day, hold this stone. Visualize all your pain entering the stone.
When the day comes that you feel your life is returning to normal, you may get rid of your stone. To do this, go out to a favorite spot, perhaps where you found your stone. Thank the stone, leave it. Keep walking and don’t look back.

Dream catchers, pillows and journals are popular items for the Witch. Dreams open a world to use that is beyond our normal realm of perception. Stones and herbs can add vividness to our dreams. The extra boost of energy they impart allow us to remember our dreams more clearly. We can interpret the signs and symbols in our dreams to help us relate more effectively to the people in our everyday lives.
Dreaming takes place on the Astral Plane. It occupies the same space as magick. Dreams are the vehicles for departed souls and the Gods to reach us and impart their messages.
Dream Control Method
Learn to realize you are having an out of body experience through dream control!
Then when you have become successful with that part of dream control , you will be ready for this part. You need to advance your dream techniques to where you realize that you are dreaming so that you can control the dream. Once you realize that you are dreaming you will find that you can control where you want to go and what you want to do.
Now I am talking about when you have a dream that is in full blown color.
Those type of dreams usually mean that your are actually out of body. You see, when people go to sleep at night their astral bodies leave and float around the astral planes in a dreamy state or gathering energy. Sometimes you may be learning things from other higher beings and eventually it is released in your conscious state later on when these beings think the time is right. You just have to become conscious of all this.
Here are your key pointers:
Work with dreams that are in full color.
You must learn to become conscious during the dream.
Try to take control of the dream and go where you wish.
When you have achieved control you will know you have had an OBE!
Remember to keep a diary of every experience.

General Description:
This is a Roman amulet and was worn for many centuries as a charm to attract good fortune. The Cornucopia represents Amaitheia’s Horn, and is a symbol of prosperity, abundance and fruitfulness. Amaltheia daughter of Melissus, King of Crete, nursed the infant Jupiter with goats milk. Jupiter afterwards endowed the goats horn with magical properties, and promising that it would supply in abundance whatever she desired, gave it to his nurse. The idea most probably originated from using the horns of oxen and goats as drinking cups.
