Reed is typically used to make wind instruments, and this time of year, its haunting sounds are sometimes heard when the souls of the dead are being summoned to the Underworld. The Reed Moon was called Negetal, pronounced nyettle by the Celts, and is sometimes referred to as the Elm Moon by modern Pagans. This is a time for divination and scrying. If you’re going to have a seance, this is a good month to do it. This month, do magical workings related to spirit guidesenergy workmeditation, celebration of death, and honoring the cycle of life and rebirth.

Celtic Calendar Month- Ivy September 30 to October 27

From mothermoonsmessage.blogspot.com

Beginning September 30th through October 27th we celebrate the Celtic Tree month of Ivy.  Although Ivy is not what most consider a tree, it still holds its place among the others in Celtic Tree Lore.  Its uses and importance are just as strong as that of the Oak or Hazel. In the coming weeks we will examine a few of these important traits. 
Ivy is a wild evergreen climbing vine that attaches itself to other trees as well as stone walls and other surfaces. It climbs such surfaces by fibers that grow our from every part of the stem. These fibers resembles roots and have small disks at the end by which it attaches itself to the roughness of the tree or wall it is climbing. If by chance the ivy finds soil or a deep crack the fibers will then become roots. These roots act as a means to obtain nourishment for the stem as it climbs. When this is done to another tree, the ivy can actually injure the tree it is attached to by taking of the trees life resources to aid itself.
Ivy only produces flowers when the branches get above their support. The flowering branches are bushy and come out from the climbing stem with flowers at the end of each shoot. Usually an ivy will flower during Autumn if there is enough sunlight. They appear as small clusters of greenish white or yellow . They can continue to bloom until late December.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** You might not be aware that you’re making a memorable impression on others today. (For starters, fear not because it’s a positive impression.) However, it might also be a delicate even romantic impression.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** Today you are drawn to different experiences and romantic scenarios, which is why you might be attracted to someone who is unusual or from another culture. You might want to travel somewhere that is exciting and full of exotic stimulation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

**** Today you might be generous with your money and your belongings, especially to those who have less or who need help. Ironically, you might also treat yourself to something gorgeous and luxurious – truly special. (This is not surprising because your appreciation of beauty is heightened.)

It seems that this Thursday will debut in quite a romantic atmosphere but don’t imagine it is going to last for too long.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You seem stuck on a particular course of action and it is either that or nothing. While some natives might get away with this and actually do whatever they want, others will meet a stubborn opposition.

You might want to replace that delicious desert with something healthy or at least with some exercise or else you are in for a nasty surprise.

You may also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You seem to exhibit some risky spending tendencies today and for some natives this might not be an easy to control thing.

Although you are not going to spend the money you need for bills and so on, you might get in debt to friends or family in order to buy things you don’t really need. You might even create a web of lies around this as well.

You may also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The current disposition will bring some moment of calm you didn’t really expect and you might also get the chance to be on your own and meditate.

And by meditate, I don’t necessarily mean the serious thing, it could be just that you are patiently figuring things out and asking yourself some questions. You won’t reach any major conclusions but none the less, you will feel better about yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You seem to have quite a positive outlook on things this Thursday and no matter what happens, you won’t abandon this optimism.

The only problem is that, while you are very peaceful and happy on the inside, on the outside, your attitude can be confused with arrogance and false confidence and people might not react all right to this.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your family is there to help you out when you need it as a general rule but maybe you shouldn’t overuse their kindness.

 The zodiac sign for March 26 is Aries.

 The Aries Constellation, one of the 12 zodiac constellations is spread on an area of 441 sq degrees and its visible latitudes are +90° to -60°. The brightest stars are Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis and its neighboring constellations are Pisces to the West and Taurus to the East.

 The name Aries comes from the Latin name for Ram, in Greek the sign for March 26 zodiac sign is called Kriya, while in French they call it Bélier.

 Opposite sign: Libra. This is important because it reflects upon the impulsiveness and justice of Libra natives who are thought to be and have everything those born under the Aries sun sign want.

 Modality: Cardinal. This presents ambition and courage and also how sensitive natives born on March 26 genuinely are.

 Ruling house: The first house. This house represents the start of life, the beginning of all actions. It also refers to physical presence and how other people perceive an individual. This space influences Arieses towards various initiatives and life decisive actions.

 Ruling body: Mars. This association reveals enthusiasm and revelation. In the horoscope chart, Mars expressed our temper and reactions. Mars also shares an insight on wits.

 Lucky numbers: 4, 5, 12, 16, 21.

 Motto: I am, I do!

People born on March 26 are independent as they prefer to do things in their own rhythm but at the same time can be quite warm hearted and acceptant with those around. They prefer change in order to progress and they are industrious in their planning and organization, regardless of the situation. They stay away from situations where they have to wait for something to happen and most of them are the life and soul of every party they attend.

 Positive Traits: These are very industrious and enthusiastic persons with a sharp temper. They seem to never get tired or need any sleep. Aries people are usually resourceful as they seem to get out of any situation easily. They are also very loyal once someone wins their affection and respect. Those born under this sign possess a great combination, they are both creative and analytical. And if this rare mix doesn’t lead to success and great achievements, what does?

 Negative Traits: These natives are impatient and stubborn and they should learn to be more calculated if they don’t want to risk damaging their relationships and entering into all kinds of misunderstandings. They are self absorbed and often undiplomatic and they are prone to sadness and even depression because they often prefer to keep things bottled up as they reckon revealing their feelings might destroy that powerful image they want to preserve in front of others.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on March 26 are sentimental and impulsive and they would do anything for their loved ones once they create a passionate connection. They are attracted to unpredictable and eccentric persons. For pretentious Aries love does not come easy, but as they fall in love they become the walking image of fools in love. You can conquer the heart of Aries if you are just as full of flame and free spirited like them. These people don’t mind being single as they keep focusing on keeping their lives busy with their goals.

 Intuitive and charming it is very difficult for someone to win their heart if they don’t show the slightest interest. They don’t settle for less than what they consider it’s best for them. Otherwise they are aware of their attractiveness and this leads them to a tumultuous love life, falling in and out of love. They are friendly but reserved and their attitude won’t bring many people close to them. They are persistent and courageous in a practical way so they will be a great part of their family team once they decide to settle for someone. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 4th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 17th, 19th, 22th, 26th, 28th and 31st. March 26 Zodiac people are most attached to the other two fire signs: Leo and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Aries is in a constant search for someone to open their hearts in front of. Someone to whom they can show their emotional side and not be afraid to get disappointed and the best to offer them this is the compassionate Libra. The least compatible with people born on March 26 are those born under the Pisces Zodiac sign. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Aries, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Red is the color defined for March 26 and in general for Aries natives.

Red is a hue that indicates passion and energy. It is one of the warmest colors. This zodiac color should be used for objects that are sitting in places where these natives spend most of their time.

Red draws everyone’s attention and suggests confidence and action. This is the most suitable color as it is also the symbol for Mars, the ruling planet of the Aries zodiac sign. On the other hand red is temper and anger so when provoked they tend to get aggressive. This color emanates energy and complete action so it should be used cautiously.

Other colors for Aries people are scarlet and carmine.

Representative Birthstone: The spectacular diamond is the representative Aries birthstone for those born under the March 26.

Diamond is a precious material that denotes power and elegance. The zodiac birthstone could be used in accessories and jewelry items.

Characteristic Flower: Honeysuckle is the flower defined for March 26 and in general for Aries natives.

Symbolic Metal: Iron is the metal defined for March 26 and in general for Aries natives.

Iron is a metal that suggests strength and action. This zodiac metal is advised to be used in pendants and earrings.

This decan is known to magnify all the positive and negative characteristics of the Aries zodiac sign.

 Being born on the 26th day of the month shows efficiency, dependability, perseverance and adaptability. The numerology for March 26 is 8.

IF YOU ARE BORN ON March 27, you are known for your impulsive nature. Alongside of that trait is your strength or your aggressive quality. Some think you are arrogant because of it.

The zodiac sign for 27 March birthday is Aries and you are without a doubt self-reliant and adventurous Arian although you love being at home. A quiet evening with someone you care about suits you well but there are times when you want to feel the beat. You want to party and let your hair down.

The March 27th birthday horoscope shows that you value your loved ones and their thoughts and opinions but you have a way of getting them to see your point of view. It does not take much to persuade them to think as you do.

Life at your house can be somewhat chaotic because you are involved in your family’s lives beyond your call of duty. I am sorry to say but, Aries, you are a busybody. Do not be so judgmental. Live and let live. It will be less stressful on you.

When Arians become parents, they encourage their children to take measures that allow for independent doing and thinking. Those born on this day will guide their children in the right way but we know it does not pan out always.

You are most certainly there for them when they fall. You teach that when you fall, you just have to brush yourself off and try it again. That is all… it is plain and simple.

The 27th March birthday personality trait that you have is your active physical desire and looking for soulmates with the same drive. Because you want to remain loyal, you show your appreciation for the intimate time you spend with your partner.

Those born on this day March 27th, are playful and attentive lovers. You have a way of creating a bond that is almost shatterproof. With this in mind, Aries, you are not in a hurry to make a lasting relationship.

Yes indeed, Aries as your birthday astrology predicts, you are destined for success. Your whole life has been leading up to the day that you claim financial security. You are happiest in power positions but are no stranger to the lower aspects of the chain.

As your birthday characteristics show, you have worked hard to achieve the status you have by starting at the bottom. It is one of the reasons you are lucrative. You know the in’s and out’s about the business you are in.

Aries zodiac birthdays dream and you dream big! The amazing thing is that your dreams come true. In pursuit of financial wealth, you are flexible as you know nothing is given to you. It takes hard work and you tend to work longer hours. When it is over, however, you can relax and vacation wherever you want to go.

The March 27 birthday meaning also implies you work hard and play even harder, Aries. You love cooking up something on the grill or on the stove top. Either way, there is something good in store. Getting folks together over a meal will cure any signs of depression.
You invite everyone over for delicious food, fun, and amusing stories. Those born on this day seldom have any signs of obesity. You do not have to worry about that though, Aries. You know what to eat and what foods pack on the pounds so you are likely to maintain your weight.

What your birthday March 27 says about you is that you are self-reliant, loyal, and sexual individuals. You love your home life but every blue moon, like to get out to a mixer so you can mingle with like minds. You will also train your children to become as successful as you are.

You are a persuasive individual so it does not take much to win over someone to your way of thinking. You love to cook and when you do, Aries, you invite everybody to partake of your nutritious meals. It may look like it is fattening but, it is not. Arians born on this day are fun loving people. They love to live life to the maximum.

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Saturdays

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY COROSPONDENCES POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Saturday

Saturday is a day filled with opportunities to clean up and clear out. So if you are wondering why Hecate is assigned to this day, take another look at what she symbolizes and the magick that is associated with her. That should answer the question.

Hecate was the oldest form of the Greek Triple Goddess, as she presided over heaven, the underworld, and earth. Crossroads where three roads met were especially sacred to Hecate, earning her the title of Hekate of the Three Ways. It’s interesting to note that even after the worship of other goddesses waned, ancient people still worshiped Hecate as the Queen of the Underworld and the Guardian of the Three-Way Crossroad. It was also believed that if you left her an offering of food there, she would grant you her favors. As Hecate Trivia, her triple images were often displayed at these crossroads, where she was petitioned on the full moon for positive magick and on the dark of the moon for cursing and dark magick.

While this last bit of information sounds a little ominous, keep in mind that Hecate/Hekate was known by many titles and is a shapeshifter. Her appearance could and did change often. As a dark moon goddess, her faces are many. To some she may appear as a old crone, hunched over a smoking cauldron and draped in a midnight cape. To others she may appear as a dark beautiful, mysterious, and mature woman wearing a shimmering crown. To some she may be perceived as a maiden priestess. She was called the “most lovely one,” the Great Goddess of Nature, and the Queen of the World of Spirits. This dark goddess knows her way around the earth and the underworld. All the powers of nature, life, and death are at her command.

Spell for Sunday – To Use on Decaffeinated or Herbal Beverages – Coffee or Tea to Still Wake You Up Without the Caffeine Jitters

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Here in the Northern Hemisphere the days are getting shorter as we look forward to Mabon, Samhain, Yule, and Imbloc. This is the time of year many of us switch from a cold beverage in the morning to a hot one. I have been 95% caffeine free for almost 15 years but on days that I had to go to work on little to no sleep I would have caffeinated coffee and wind up at the worse with a migraine or at least feel jittery. So, I had to figure out how my decaf coffee or tea or herbal tea could give me the boost that caffeinated beverages did. Standing in the kitchen one morning, while it was still dark out, waiting for my morning wake up sip I came up with a spell to put natural universal energy into my decaf coffee so I wouldn’t fall asleep walking to work. To my surprise, keep in mind I am still more asleep than awake, the spell work fantastically. This spell does work and is much better for the human body than caffeine and/or energy drinks.

Print off this spell if you want to and hang it in your kitchen somewhere close to where to fix your cup of coffee, tea, herbal tea in the morning.

Even if you drink your coffee or tea or herbal black you can use this spell to energize your beverage.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Your Favorite Hot Beverage Cup/Mug

A Regular Teaspoon

Cup of Decaffeinated Coffee or Your Favorite Tea (this spell does work on herbal teas and beverages like regular Gatorade, or even plain water also)

Milk, Cream, Half and Half, Powdered Cream or whatever you use to make your beverage have a whitish color to it

Sugar, Artificial Sweetener, Honey, Or Whatever you use to sweeten your beverage

PREPERATION TO DO THE SPELL:

Brew your decaf coffee or steep your tea

Fill your Cup or Mug (Your beverage will be HOT. Be careful and watch as you pour so you do not over pour and get burned by your beverage)

Fix it how ever you like it – Do not stir it yet

SPELL:

Put the teaspoon into your cup/mug stir counterclockwise wise three times while saying:

I stir all out all tiredness from my mind and body

Make sure the liquid comes to a stop before stirring it clockwise three times while say:

I stir wake up energy into my (coffee, tea, herbal tea)

You can do this once and keep adding the spells more times, making sure the liquid come to a full stop before reversing your direction of stirring, until you know what is right for you. When you have stirred it both ways for as long as you want finish the spell as you would any other spell that you do.

The History Of Modern Day Witchcraft In A Nutshell

The roots of Modern Day Witchcraft (like Wicca) have roots back to 25,000 BC. Female figurines, images, and pictures of been discovered throughout Europe… all supporting a theory of a “Great Mother Cult”.

Throughout the centuries there have been many attempts to put an end to worship of the Goddess… all in vain. Goddess worship has stood the test of time.

Witchcraft has gradually evolved over time… and will continue to do so. Throughout the ages the term “Witch” has labeled healers, medicine men, seers, and every mystical practitioner in between. Not all “Witches” worship the Goddess, as witches are labeled as such in many areas, religions, and traditions of the world.

Up until around 1020 AD, “Witches” were seen in a positive light… healers…wise ones… seers. Many of them also understood how to use plants and nature for

Beltane – Spring is Here! Time to Get Your Gardens Ready

Welcome to springtime in the southern hemisphere. As the warmer weather comes a witches thoughts turns to sowing a garden. A garden can mean a different thing to each of us. For me it is getting my physical seeds ready for my veggie garden, to check to see if my herbs survived the winter or if I need to start new ones. Spiritually it means starting new seeds/paths for me to be able to grow to be closer to Mother Earth, the Universal energies, my students, and my teachers. To be able in the fall to reap full benefits of all that I have learned and put them into practice whether it is in my own personal life or helping my students with something. This year I need to plant new seeds and seedlings for all my flower gardens because early heavy rains in this part of the country washed away two inches of top soil in all my flower beds.

What does planting a garden mean to you? Do you plant flowers, vegetables, herbs, goals or a little of all of these or any combination? Remember whatever you plant will come to fruition with the right amount of love, watering (spiritually this can be communicating with each other in the pagan community or even be emailing me to say hi), sunshine (remember to thank the Sun God) and nurturing from within yourself (positive thoughts and affirmations) and from others in our community.

I would really LOVE to SEE COMMENTS on this post, please. Share with us your seeds and lets us help you grow them to their fullest potential!

Tarot Card

Today’s Tarot card reading comes from The Celtic Dragon Tarot by D. J. Conway. With art done by Lisa Hunt. This deck is unique as the cards are never read in reverse.

King of Swords – Court Card

Opposition; obey the laws.

Divinatory Meaning: This card suggests a powerful, but stubborn, masculine influence who may be opposing you. In a new project, do everything exactly by the rules or you will lose. There may be a need for the services of an attorney.

Rune

Gebo – “Gift”

Gebo is the rune of gifts. It’s a positive symbol that indicates you are in the possession of many gifts and talents or that someone will bestow upon you bountiful blessings. It also relates to generosity, balance, and positive relationships. It has no inverted meaning.

KEYWORDS: Generosity, partnership, gifts

Witches’ Rune

The Moon

Long term changes are coming, transitions and changes, hidden agendas – secrets, imagination, feminine energies.

Rune Name: Moon
Think: Things are a little bit loony. The moon waxes and wanes in cycles and the full moon looks like a circle in the sky.
Remember: Negative. Past cycles are repeating themselves. However, pay attention to your intuition. Your dreams may have special messages for you during this time. There may be much secrecy and mystery going on. The moon can be a motherly, nurturing influence who gives advice that simply must be followed.

Ogham

B – Beith

Beith, or Beth, corresponds to the letter B in the alphabet, and is associated with the Birch tree. When this symbol is used, it is representative of new beginnings, change, release, and rebirth. In some traditions, it also has connections with purification.

Birch trees are hardy. They’ll grow just about anywhere, including on bare soil. Because they tend to grow in clusters, what may be just one or two seedlings now can be practically an entire forest in a few decades. In addition to being a sturdy sort of tree, the Birch is useful. In days gone by, it was used for infants’ cradles, and is still harvested today to make cabinets and furniture.

From a magical perspective, there are a number of uses for Birch. The branches are traditionally incorporated into the construction of a besom, and are used for the bristles. Use the white outer bark in ritual in place of paper or parchment–just be sure you only harvest the bark from a fallen Birch tree, not a living one. Ancient herbalists discovered that various parts of this tree can be used for medicinal purposes. Bark was once brewed into a tea to fight fevers, and the leaves were used alternately as a laxative and a diuretic, depending on how they were prepared.

Beith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time to get rid of all those negative influences you’ve been carrying around with you. Figure out what things are bad in your life, which relationships are toxic, and find a way to leave them behind. Instead of being dragged down by the negative, focus on the positive things you have in your life, the blessings and abundance. Use these things as a focus, rather than the harmful or damaging ones.

Magical Aspects: Consider the property of renewal and rebirth, as demonstrated by the Birch. Use this as a tool for spiritual and emotional regrowth, and developing your own ability to regenerate where there has been emptiness or devastation.

Seven Of Pentacles – Minor Arcana

LShe stood in a luxuriant grass garden, where she dedicated it to special care. She is the forest guardian, a part of this place, the Garden of Eden that she created herself. The peach trees finally bear fruit, a source of magical energy proliferating all over the world. Peaches are a fruit of summer and of long relaxing days. Their nectar is as sweet as honey. The specific sweetness that comes from their fruit flowed evenly from the tongue into the throat, evoking memories of hot summer days.

Should I pick them or not?” She was confused, the patterned ripples stirred on her body. Placing her hands on sweet fruits, she was ready to pick them at any time. They shrugged vaguely as if she was holding the heart of the tree, weakly trembling along the branches of the tree. Are the peaches still juicy and sweet like honey, once picked from the branches? Or would they become as faint, exhausted as the mediocre fruits in her basket?

The Seven of Pentacles Shadowcapes Tarot challenges you to make a choice: either eat and enjoy the fruit in the basket or let them continue to bear fruit and overripe on the branch. The seed has been sown, the time for work and waiting is over. Now they have grown and born fruit. This is the time to evaluate, to calmly reconsider alternatives and other approaches if possible.

Keywords related to the Seven of Pentacles Shadowscapes Tarot: evaluation, assessment, reflection, thoroughness, reward, change, patience, perseverance, skill, hard work, achievements, advancement, attainment, stability, progress, consideration, replacement, speculation, unbalance, trouble.

Intention, beginnings, births, pioneer spirit

Birch (Betula spp.)

Letter: B

Well dignified: An intention with good potential. Bravery. Breaking free. Ending bad habits. Getting unstuck. The start of something good. A new way of thinking. An invention or fresh approach. The ability of getting outside yourself and fossilized modes of thinking. Breaking out of the box. Being the change instead of just talking about it.

Humans learn through mimesis, so it is only because of the brave souls willing to put their necks out for change that anything improves in the world. Beith indicates the willingness…

One

One is the leader. The number one indicates the ability to stand alone, and is a strong vibration. Ruled by the Sun.

Keywords: independent, creative, original, ambitious, determined, self-assured. If expressed negatively: arrogant, stubborn, impatient, self-centered.

As lovers: Number ones take the lead in love. Love and/or the chase is of utmost importance to these lovers. There can be self-centeredness, however. These lovers are willing to experiment, and they can be quite exciting–they can also require a lot of excitement because they can bore easily.

Hexagram Fifty-One/51

Chên / Thunder

Thunder echoes upon Thunder, commanding reverence for its father Heaven:
In awe of Heaven’s majestic power, the Superior Person looks within and sets his life in order.
Thunder mingles with startled screams of terror for a hundred miles around.
As the people nervously laugh at their own fright, the devout presents the sacrificial chalice with nary a drop of wine spilt.
Deliverance

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

A thunderbolt of Cosmic judgement crashes to earth.
For the common person, it’s just a momentary fright soon forgotten, its warning unfathomed and unheeded.
But to one who understands its significance, this thunder is a signal to awaken.
Centering the Self, seeking balance, the enlightened person will respect and align himself with this Higher Power, while his fellows remain subject to the whims of every passing storm.

Wednesday’s Correspondences



Be bold and daring today! Expand your knowledge of the Craft by working with the planetary energies of Mercury on this multifaceted day of the week. Consider the Greco-Roman gods Mercury and Hermes and all of the many lessons they have for you. Embrace change and movement, and work on your communication techniques. Conjure up a little good luck for yourself with that Mercury dime spell. Call on Athena to inspire you to try magickal arts and crafts and to be more creative in your own spellwork and witchery.
Meditate on Odin and see what you can discover about him. I wonder what sort of fabulous and fascinating magickal wisdom you will uncover? Odin is a shaman, after all; he may appear in many guises and faces. I guarantee that he will make you laugh at yourself before he is through with you, but you will learn. It’s up to you what you do with that knowledge. Will you let it shapeshift into wisdom?
Wednesday is the wild and wily day of the week, so try to go with the flow; don’t fight the quirky energies of the day. Most importantly, follow your heart, and always keep a good sense of humor, because of Wednesdays you will really need it.

Humpback Whale

“Music is essential to your healing and well-being, whether sing, playing an instrument, or listening”

In order to diagnose their patients, one of the questions, that shamans often asked was when the patient stopped singing. If it had been quite some time, the shaman was certain to recommend sing (among other remedies) as an essential aspect of recovery. All that’s involved when you sing — the fullness and rhythm of your breathing, the opening of your mouth and jaw, and the soulful and creative expressions of your spirit — serves to enhance your health and raise your vibrations.

Similarly, playing an instrument can touch those inner creative depths that yearn to be expressed through song. Simply Listening with your full attention to you favorite tune or melody can also inspire and heal. Make music as essential to your lifestyle as eating and breathing.

You can breach the inhibitions about expressing yourself musically that you’ve acquired over the years in some very simple and easy ways: Sing, chant, or play an instrument! Take a few voice lessons as a means to shore up your confidence. Let the magical child inside help you rediscover the joy of creating music. Dive in and play!

Associations: Singing; Breathwork; Sound Healing; Sensitivity; Alchemy; Ancestral Wisdom; Creativity; Inner Depths; Insight; Healing; Release; Guardianship

Scythe

This rune means to cut away, to put an end to something, to sever or separate, possible something you have depended on vanishes from your life. You can now move to the next level and begin anew

When the Scythe Rune turns up in a reading this indicates certain changes must occur and time must pass before a coming to terms with something that is hard to accept.

You may experience a passing through of difficulties before reaching a new level.

Walls and blocks may see insurmountable at the current time. But the Scythe implies you have the strength and fortitude to overcome all difficulties that you now encounter.

Ogham

Saille

S is for Saille, pronounced sahl-yeh, and is associated with the Willow tree. The Willow is often found near water, and when nourished it will grow rapidly. This symbol is representative of knowledge and spiritual growth, as well as being connected with the month of April. Willows offer protection and healing, and is closely connected to the cycles of the moon. Likewise, this symbol is tied to women’s mysteries and cycles.

In folk medicine, Willow has long been connected with healing. A tea of willow bark was used to treat fevers, rheumatism, coughs, and other inflammatory conditions. Nineteenth century scientists discovered that the Willow contains salicylic acid, a synthetic version of which is the primary pain-relief ingredient in Aspirin. In addition to its use as a healing herb, Willow was also harvested for wicker work. Baskets, small curricles, and even bee hives were constructed with this bendable, flexible wood.

Saille Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: One cannot evolve without changing. Realize that part of life’s journey includes learning lessons–even unpleasant ones. This is a natural part of the human experience.

Magical Aspects: Give yourself a break periodically, and take time to rest spiritually. Know that change will come when you are ready for it. Allow yourself some flexibility in your spiritual life as well.

I Ching

Hexagram Thirty-Four/34

Name: Ta Chuang.

Keyphrase: The power of the great.

Formed By The Trigrams: Thunder over Heaven.

General: To win an advantage you not only need increase your strength but to accompany it with responsible action.

Love: You will find others have a powerful attraction to you – use this power wisely.

Business: This is a favorable time for business but do not try and go to far. Make sure you protect yourself and those around you.

Personal: Problem issues can be favorably overcome if tackled with honor and compassion.

Overview: Ta Chuang relates to the chance to take advantage of the current situation. Unlike Tun which urges a temporary retreat, Ta Chuang urges you to make the most of it. It carries the warning though, that overconfidence can lead to a downfall. Don’t be rash, plan your strategy wisely and minimize damage wherever possible. Feeling empowered is good, but don’t be narcissistic about it.

Numerology

Eight – BALANCE & POWER

In Numerology, both novices and professionals alike tend to focus on the “money and power” image of the 8. Often when a client requests a name change consultation, it’s because they want to add 8s to their chart with the mistaken belief it will bring them money and power

It is true that the 8, more than any other number, emphasizes the areas of career, business, finances, and authority.

As with other single-digit numbers, the shape reflects its most important attribute; in the case of the 8 it signifies balance. The 8 is the great Karmic Equalizer, a force that creates just as efficiently as it destroys. When the 8 comes knocking, you can be assured you will reap what you’ve sown.

The 8 creates a balance between the material and spiritual worlds.

At its best, it is as spiritual as it is materialistic. The sacred side of the 8 is practical, rational, and intelligent. It knows the difference between make-believe and genuine realization.
