Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Saturday

From learnreligions.com

It’s the end of the week for many of us, so Saturday—named for the god Saturn—is a good time to wrap things up. Associated with the colors black and dark purple, and the metal lead, this day is also connected to the goddess Hecate. Gemstones like Apache tear, obsidian, and hematite are all connected to Saturday’s magic, as are plants such as thyme, mullein, and the cypress tree.

When it comes to magical workings, focus on agriculture and creativity, fortune and hope, protection and banishment of negativity. Put up a barrier to keep the unwelcome out, eliminate the things that make you miserable, and wash your hands of anything other than your hopes, dreams, and goals.

Simple Fudge – Printable

This recipe comes from my life mate Big Dawg. It is so good and easy to make any time of year.

Simple Fudge

Ingredients:

1 – 14 ounce can of sweeten condensed milk

3 cups of Chocolate chips (or any flavor baking chip you would like to use)

Baking Pan (the size is your choice depending on how thick you want your fudge pieces)

Wax Paper

How to make it:

Pour sweeten condensed milk and chips into a microwave safe bowl. Stir well. Put in your microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, make sure all the chips are melted. Work fast for the rest of this recipe. Stir until well blended. Line baking pan with wax paper, make sure it comes up a little on the sides and/or the edges of the pan. Quickly pour and spread fudge in the baking pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours. (Important Side Note – The fudge is hard to cut after it is chilled, so I take it out about 1 1/2 hours and cut it if you want neat squares. But I found just breaking it into pieces works fine also.)

A Thought for Today

Dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may of The Crone aspect of Triple Goddess and Oak King in the northern hemisphere and The Maiden aspect of the Triple Goddess and the Holly King in the southern hemisphere bless you and your family with all things positive!

Moon Alert

After 3 AM EST today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The New Moon in Capricorn is exact at 5:17 AM EST (2:17 AM PST).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today’s New Moon occurs at the top of your chart. Examine your attitudes to authority. Do they affect your work? This is also a good time to look at where you’re headed. Where do you want to be five years from now and what do you want to be doing?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is a good day to take stock of your education. What further learning would enrich your life? What about travel? What are your thoughts about your belief systems? Thinking about this might help you understand your attitudes.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today’s New Moon is the perfect day to look at your involvement with the financial resources of others. Is there a balance between your reliance on your own resources and your reliance on other people? How are you handling your debt? Are you in over your head, borrowing on tomorrow?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today is the perfect day to look at your expectations about committed relationships. What are your beliefs about committed relationships? For example, how would you finish this sentence? “Whenever I get involved in a relationship___.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is an excellent day to examine your attitudes to work. How do you work best? In your job, do you get by with doing as little as you can? Or do you find personal rewards in doing a job well? Take stock of your health today. Do you take care of your body?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The New Moon today is an excellent time to think about the role that romantic relationships play in your life. Likewise, creativity might not be something you worry about, but do you appreciate your creative talents? Your artistic talents can bring you pleasure.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Each New Moon is an opportunity to make resolutions. Today’s New Moon is time to think about your personal security. What makes you feel safe? How are your relations to family or parents? Do you try hard to conform to or defy your parents’ expectations?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

What kind of communicator are you? Today’s New Moon is the best day all year to think about your style of communicating with others. Are you afraid to discuss your needs in case this will drive people away? If you don’t communicate, you cut yourself off from humanity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is an excellent day to take stock of your feelings and attitudes about money. If you believe that money is a root of all evil, you will unlikely seek it or hold on to it for very long. If you think, “Easy come, easy go,” then money will be coming and going.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today is the only New Moon in your sign all year. Take personal inventory. What kind of first impression do you create on others? How do you come across? Think about how you carry yourself and how others regard you. How can you create a better impression?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The New Moon today falls in a hidden part of your chart, which means you have a chance to examine your repressed or secret emotions about things. What areas of your life are you the most self-defeating? Do you undermine your own best interests? (We all do.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is the perfect day to inventory your hopes and wishes for the future. What exactly are they? What concrete steps are you taking to achieve them? Be specific or else they will be a cloudy vision rather than a tangible reality.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Pearl Jam lead singer and guitarist Eddie Vedder (1964) shares your birthday today. You are magnetic and charming. You have excellent communication skills. You are also focused and determined, which allows you to overcome challenges. Your personal freedom is important this year because you will undergo exciting changes. Make new friends. Travel is likely.

Spell for Today – Venus Spell – Printable

Spell for Today – PEACE AND CALMING JAR SPELL

From boneprinces.tumblr.com

This jar spell is to help calm nerves and anxieties, to help you feel peaceful and relaxed. It can be used to help with sleep or just a stressful environment. I realized after I made this that I named it after an essential oil without meaning to so… lol

For this spell, I used…

  • amethyst shards (healing, balance, alleviate irrational anxieties and fears)
  • rosemary herb (keep away nightmares, remember dreams, protection)
  • crushed bay leaf (healing, protection, dreams)
  • sage herb (protection, wisdom, peace)
  • crushed rose petals (security, self love, peace)
  • sea salt (protection, cleansing)
  • opal shards (calm, communication)

Feel free to use as many of these ingredients or as few as you like; substitute items, replace them, and add your own! Let me know how it goes

DECEMBER 22 birthday horoscope predicts you are a Capricorn who is talented but shy. You are a beautiful person but it would seem that you are still unsure of yourself. The Capricorn born on this day is complicated. You’re intelligent; however, you may not realize your potential or your boundaries. You need to be sure of your capabilities.

The December 22nd birthday personality is likely to keep their dreams and goals to themselves. Although your dream of a nice home, car and a loving family to share it all with, it comes with a price. Successor financial security hardly comes overnight. You have to work for it. Deciding between your home and your job can get tough from time to time, but you lean more toward providing a comfortable environment.

Personal relationships are just as complex for this Capricorn birthday. When you love someone, you love them. It’s just that you are so afraid of failing that you keep many emotions, thoughts, and feelings hidden as well. Life is not perfect as it has its challenges. You have to let your guard down sometimes to grow. You can’t put off things because of fear your whole life if you want to be successful.

As the December 22 zodiac sign is Capricorn, you need to be encouraged and need the room to grow. Normally, you are willing to provide your partner with some exciting times but when it is time for you to regroup; you feel you should be able to relax without your soul mate. You are observant, thoughtful and often you have a wonderful sense of humor. The December 22 horoscope predicts that you are known to have a wild side, especially in the bedroom.

If today December 22 is your birthday, you probably won’t have a lot of close friends, but they are all you need. You tend to choose your friends and lovers instinctively, so you are likely to get the emotional support that you need. Keeping in context with the other areas of your life, you are still afraid to open up completely for fear of failure! Having a broken heart is not the end of the world or your world. We should learn from our mistakes and shortcomings, foretells the December 22nd birthday analysis.

You’re old school when it comes to how you think children should be raised today. You believe that children should be disciplined, but you may have trouble doing it yourself. The December 22 birthday personality may want to be their child’s friend. And by experience, you know that you must be a strong and authoritative parent.

What your birthday December 22 says about you is that naturally, you are a slim person. While others are struggling to lose weight, you are still very close to the size you were in high school. Being overweight has never been an issue with you, but your diet is not all that healthy. I mean, simply because you don’t gain a pound doesn’t mean you are in excellent health.

You should still seek medical advice and not necessarily rely on trending supplements and work out routines. The December 22 astrology analysis suggests that you eat to cover up your feelings. If this is true, Capricorn, then perhaps it’s time to seek professional help regarding your fears. The future of person who born on 22 December is solely dependant on how they deal with their current issues

Speaking of professionals, you may need to choose careers. You are certainly good at marketing and advertising. The Goats born on this zodiac birthday make great writers and managers, too. You are a responsible individual who will dedicate much time and effort to see a project finished. Sometimes, you may neglect your duties at home because of this.

But your goal is to one day have financial freedom so these days won’t be necessary for the long run. As a rule, you save your money. You won’t find many Capricorn zodiac sign people who squander their money. But you are occasionally generous with friends and family.

The December 22 horoscope suggests that you want what most people do and that is peace of mind. On the other hand, you have a need for security that demands that you be upright and fruitful. Normally, if you are in a relationship, you like to shower your partner with love and breakfast in bed.

This Capricorn birthday person may have problems facing fear and rejection which could affect how you live your life overall. Maybe seeing a health care professional about this could be beneficial to you in more ways than one.

December 22, 2022 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the December 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on December 22 has an illumination of 1%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day.

December 21, 2022 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the December 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on December 21 has an illumination of 5%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On December 21 the Moon is 27.34 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
