A Basic Spell

From https://gypsywolf.weebly.com/a-basic-spell.html

You may dress however is traditional or feels comfortable for you. Feel free to wear colors that match your intention, if you desire. Perform your spell on a corresponding day of the week and phase of the moon for the optimum beneficial energies.

Gather all of your materials (candles, holder, matches, symbols, tools, essential oils, gemstones, herbs/flowers/seeds/fruits) and set them and yourself in front of a sturdy, flat area. Feel free to drape a cloth over your working area in a corresponding color to your intention, if you wish. This will be your altar.

Envision your altar and yourself surrounded in a large bubble of pure, white protective light. You may also sprinkle a protective circle of salt around you and your working area, in a clockwise direction.

Open your essential oil and breathe in the aroma. Drip a few drops onto your fingers. Rub the oil onto the candle from the top to the center and from the bottom to the center, all the way around until you cover the entire candle. As you anoint the candle, visualize your intentions into the candle. Place the candle in the candle holder and set it in front of you on a flat surface.

Sprinkle some of the herbs/flowers/seeds into your hand. Feel it’s energies. Breathe in it’s scent. Focus on your intentions, building the energies in your body up, as you connect with the energies of the herbs/flowers/seeds. Sprinkle them around the candle in a circular pattern. Continue with any other symbols or natural substances you are using, including any gemstones, fruits, and the like. Place them around the candle along with the herbs.

Light the candle with a match and extinguish the match with a flick of your wrist. Set the match in a fireproof dish. Continue to build your energies up as you visualize your intention. Focus on your intention and hold the image in your mind. Focus on the feeling of achieving your goal. Hold the feeling in your heart. Recite any chants, directions, or affirmations at this time. Mesh your images and your feelings with each other and release them both into the atmosphere.

When you are finished, allow your energies to calm back down. Then unbind your working area by envisioning the circle opening up and sweeping any salt and energies away in a counter-clockwise direction. Your work is done. Allow yourself to focus on other thoughts and let the magic do it’s work.

Allow your candle to burn all the way down, or extinguish the flame with a candle snuffer. Gather all of your materials and collect your natural substances. You have infused these items with your intentions and energies, so you will have to cleanse any tools for future use and dispose of any natural substances and candle stubs. You may bury your natural materials in a spot of uncultivated earth, or sprinkle them through the air in a sacred area. Remember to ground yourself and your energies when you are finished.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be patient with coworkers today. In the morning during the Moon Alert, don’t volunteer for anything. This afternoon, after the Moon changes signs (see above), you will have to go more than half way when dealing with others. Be cooperative and accommodating.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents must be patient with their kids this morning. Take note: Postpone shopping and important decisions during the Moon Alert. (See above.) Squabbles about social outings or sports might occur.

This Month’s Sturgeon Moon Will Coincide With the Perseid Meteor Shower — How to See It

Get ready to stay up late — because the full moon in August 2022, aka the Sturgeon moon, is going to be a good one. Not only will it come with a significant spiritual meaning, but it will also coincide with the Perseid meteor shower.

But what is a Sturgeon moon? Keep reading for all the details on the moon, its meaning, and how and when you can catch a glimpse of our beautiful moon in all its glory this month.

The full moon in August 2022 will be a supermoon.

This month’s full moon, better known as the Sturgeon moon, will rise in the night sky this Thursday night, Aug. 11, 2022, with its brightest glow occurring at about 9:36 p.m. ET, according to SciTechDaily.

The news outlet also notes that the 2022 Sturgeon moon will be a supermoon — and the last supermoon of the year. Some experts believe that the June and July full moons were the only true supermoons in 2022, but others have also recognized the May and August full moons as super as well.

According to NASA, a supermoon is a full moon that appears within 90 percent of perigee (a moon’s closest proximity to Earth in a month), making it appear much larger and brighter than the average full moon to us Earth dwellers.

What is a Sturgeon moon? Here’s the history of the August full moon.

The August full moon came to be known as the Sturgeon moon because in the past, this was the time of year that people had the most success in catching the giant sturgeon fish of the Great Lakes and…

August Full Moon – Also Known as the Corn Moon

In late August, we celebrate the beginning of the Corn Moon. This moon phase is also known as the Barley Moon, and carries on the associations of grain and rebirth that we saw a couple of weeks earlier, at Lammastide. August was originally known as Sextilis by the ancient Romans, but was later renamed for Augustus (Octavian) Caesar.

This is a season of the beginning harvest. It’s when corn and wheat are flourishing in the fields, and will soon be threshed. If you have a garden, it’s probably blooming with tomatoes, onions, and herbs just waiting to be picked. Focus on this harvest aspect of August’s full moon, and consider what things you have in your life, right now, that can be gathered, collected, and stored for later.

Colors associated with the corn moon include yellow, red, and orange—after all, these are the tones you see in the cobs of a freshly plucked ear of corn. For gemstones, look to use tigers eye, carnelian, garnet, or red agate in your magical workings.

Trees connected to the corn moon include cedar and hazel. Carry a bit of cedar in your pocket when you’re facing new challenges, to help boost your courage, and utilize hazel for magical workings related to good fortune. You can keep a hazelnut in your pocket to draw luck your way, or hang a bough of hazel branches above your door.

Some of the many deities of the corn moon season are Vulcan, whose festival, the Vulcanalia, falls each year on August 23. The Greek goddess Nemesis also had a festival held on this day. Mars was known as a god of war, but in some incarnations, is associated with the bounty of the grain harvest; offerings were made in his honor for a plentiful yield. Egyptian deities like Hathor and Thoth had a strong connection to this time of year, because they are so closely linked to the rich, fertile soil of the land surrounding the Nile delta.

For magical herbal correspondences this month, look at using rosemary, rue, basil, and chamomile in your workings. All of these should be flourishing in your garden right now, and you can harvest and dry them for future use.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although this is a pleasant day at home, especially entertaining others; nevertheless, you might feel restricted financially. Or perhaps something that you own will create some challenges? Fortunately, this is nothing you cannot handle.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Tread carefully today. The good news is relations with others are warm and friendly. People are mutually sympathetic. However, the bad news is that someone in authority (a parent, boss or police person?) might rain on your parade or make things difficult for you. Be patient and polite.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a favourable day for financial matters. If shopping, you will be inclined to buy beautiful, luxurious items. Meanwhile, something going on behind the scenes could be problematic. Do be aware of this. If something looks like it could be a problem – don’t dismiss it. Look at it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today is a mixed bag; but on the whole, it’s a pleasant, positive day. Nevertheless, you might find that a friend or a group will not go along with your ideas. Someone might even say something that confirms your worst suspicions about yourself. Don’t listen to this! Phffft!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You feel happy and content with your world today, which is why this can be a lovely day for you. However, someone in a position of authority might get under your skin or get in the way of something that you want to do. Go with the flow and accommodate this as well as you can. It is what it is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a mellow day. In particular, it’s a warm day dealing with friends and members of groups. However, travel plans could be difficult. Possibly, rules and regulations or something in the news or the media will hold you back or prevent you from doing something you want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You look good to others today! People admire you, especially people in authority. This might help you if you have disputes about shared property or shared responsibilities when dealing with others. Someone you encounter might be stubborn. (Bummer.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Tread carefully because someone close to you might try to block your plans today. Perhaps they just want to do something different? Perhaps they don’t agree with your ideas? Meanwhile, opportunities to travel for pleasure exist. Could this be the escape you need?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign; furthermore, the position of Venus can attract benefits, favours and even money to you. (Yay, we like!) However, those of you at work might encounter resistance to your ideas. Therefore, proceed slowly and cautiously before you do any task. Believe in yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Fair Venus opposite your sign guarantees warm relations with spouses, partners and friends now. (This feels good!) However, romantic relationships, sports events and dealings with children might create some challenges. Oh well, nothing is perfect. Cope as best you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In order to keep the peace, be patient with family members today, especially authority figures because they might be grumpy or critical of you. In turn, this might mean that you are quietly angered but feel you can’t speak up. Escape. Do something different. Get away from this.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t be pushy or coercive when dealing with others today because you might be tempted to do so, especially if you have the law on your side. A sense of authority might embolden you to be rude or critical. Why do this? Life is easier when you get along with everyone.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Co-founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales (1966) shares your birthday today. Justice and fair play are important to you because you have ethical values. You are generous and benevolent to others. You are also entertaining and friendly! This year it’s time to enjoy life! Seek opportunities to entertain and socialize with others. Find ways to express your creativity.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

What a positive way to begin your week! You’re full of original ideas related to your job and possibly your health. Discussions with an authority figure at home about potential repairs are likely. Lord knows, you’re keen to initiate things! (Issues with a pet might surprise.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re ready to party today! Accept invitations to socialize. Reach out and interact with others. Enjoy playful activities with kids, sports events, picnics, barbecues and fun encounters. Interaction with the entertainment world and the hospitality industry will delight.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is the perfect day to entertain at home. Be ready to serve “best in fridge” because you might impulsively entertain; or surprise company might drop by. Meanwhile, someone in the family might have unexpected news. This is also an exciting day for real-estate transactions.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today is full of some surprises, so stay on your toes. It’s an upbeat, positive day; however, you are so full of spontaneous energy, some kind of distraction could make this an accident-prone day. Therefore, pay attention to what you say and do. Nevertheless, this is a fun-loving, playful day!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great day to schmooze with others, especially artistic, creative people. However, keep an eye on your money and assets because something surprising could impact your wealth. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own. If shopping, keep your receipts!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a great way to begin your week! The Moon is in your sign, which gives you a bit of extra good luck over all the other signs. Furthermore, everyone is upbeat and positive today. Nobody wants to work – everyone wants to play! Warm exchanges with friends and groups are gratifying.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

People admire you today! You look good in their eyes. You can take advantage of this and go after what you want. Don’t hesitate to ask a boss or parent for a favour because very likely, things will go your way. Travel for pleasure if possible. Enjoy meeting people who are “different.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a lovely, playful day! Your involvement with a friend or a group will be unusual in some way today. You feel empowered and popular. You might also meet someone today who is different and intriguing. Stay light on your feet because there is a fast-changing, playing field today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might surprise others today by saying or doing something unexpected. You might take the helm and run the show? (You do feel more independent than usual, that’s for sure.) With Venus opposite your sign now, all your relations will flow smoothly. Enjoy your day!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Travel plans might suddenly change today or be delayed. Alternatively, you might suddenly have to travel when you didn’t expect to do so. This is an exciting, upbeat day. Expect to meet people who are “different” from you. Sports events, social outings and fun with children will delight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Keep your eyes open today because something unexpected could impact banking details or issues related to shared property, taxes and debt. Keep in mind that this includes inheritances. Fortunately, you have lots of energy to work and be efficient today!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a lovely, upbeat social day! Enjoy interactions with others. In fact, expect a few surprises. Perhaps an unexpected invitation? Make plans for lunch, coffee get-togethers, a fun Happy Hour, sports events and playful activities with kids. Enjoy your day!

The Star-Spangled Banner Song’s History

“The Star-Spangled Banner” is the national anthem of the United States. By the time the song officially became the country’s anthem in 1931, it had been one of America’s most popular patriotic tunes for more than a century. The anthem’s history began the morning of September 14, 1814, when an attorney and amateur poet named Francis Scott Key watched U.S. soldiers—who were under bombardment from British naval forces during the War of 1812—raise a large American flag over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland.
