What being a Pagan Witch means to Me?

When I began practicing witchcraft is was just to do spells to try and change things in my life it wasn’t a spiritual walk. As time went on and I studied with first a coven and then as a solitary my views changed. I saw it as a way to help others not just myself. Slowly over the years I came more and more to the spiritual aspect of it until the spiritual overtook the magickal part. The spiritual part started awakening abilities that I was born with.

I have been a spirit talker since about the age of three years old and guide by my mom who also was born with this ability. It was very scary this first time I saw and talked with the spirit of my paternal grandfather who had crossed many, many years before I was even thought of. My mom came in and told my grandpa he should have come to her again first and she would have introduced us before he came directly to me.

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

Summon and be in Touch with your Spirit Animal

Your spirit animal is you in spirit form. It represents your personality and personality traits. A spirit animal can be shared by lots of people. This will demonstrate how you can come in contact with it, and be spiritually clean and active.

You will need the following items for this spell:

1 Glass plate or bowl

Some salt (depending on how big bowl/plate is.It should cover the bottom with a thin coating)

REAL small silver charm/jewelry

2 candles

2 small mirrors

1 cup of water

Casting Directions for ‘Summon and be in Touch with your Spirit Animal’

Step 1: Know your spirit animal. You can take a quiz or look it up, but usually what you feel in your gut is the most accurate. If you do n’t know, here is a fantastic quiz.

Spirit Animal Quiz

Step 2: Know about it. Research the animal for a little bit, maybe 5 minutes.

Step 3: Light the two candles.

Step 4: Take the bowl or plate and fill it with a thin layer of salt. Put the two candles on either side of the bowl or plate, on it’s left and right.

Step 5: Make a hole in the middle of the salt about 3 cm. wide and tall. Make 7 even beams in the salt coming out from the circle.

Step 6: Pour the water from the circle, and then watch it flow into the rays. Pour until they are full, but do not overflow.

Step 7: Take the charm or jewelry and put it in the center of the ring, which should be filled with water.

Step 8: Place the mirrors next to the candles, so they are closer to the bowl/plate compared to candles. They ought to reflect the image of the jewelry or charm.

Step 9: Say:

Myself is yet failing me
Make it not so, ________ (say your spirit animal)
Show me the right path
Light the way to a better self

Step 10: After saying that, blow out the candles one by one from right to left. The mirror on the right is yourself, and the one on the left is the animal.

Step 11: Ask the question or simply talk in the mirror on the left to communicate with the creature. If it responds, it is going to show you from the ideal mirror. Do not be pushy. Or else.

Greetings, fellow witches! Today, we will delve into the enchanting world of herbal magic. As healers, we understand that the power of the natural world can aid us in our work. Herbs have been used for centuries for their healing properties and have been an essential part of the witch’s toolkit.

Herbal magic allows us to connect with the energy and wisdom of the plant kingdom, harnessing their healing properties to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. The use of herbs in spells and rituals can amplify their power and bring about profound transformations.

As witches, we understand that every plant possesses its own unique energy and properties. By understanding these properties, we can use herbs to target specific areas of our lives and work towards our goals. Whether you seek to boost your energy, promote clarity, or attract abundance, there is an herb out there that can aid you in your journey.

In this article, we will explore the correspondences, planetary and elemental energies, and spirit of the plants. We will also discuss safety considerations to keep in mind when working with herbs. So, gather your cauldron, light some candles, and let’s delve into the magical world of herbal healing.

The History of Herbal Magic

The use of herbs for magical and healing purposes has a long and rich history. Many ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, utilized the power of plants in their spiritual practices. Herbal magic has been documented in various texts throughout history, including the famous herbal manuscripts from ancient China, Egypt, and Greece.

In medieval Europe, herbalism was considered both a science and an art, and herbalists were highly respected members of society. They were often consulted by royalty and the wealthy for their healing knowledge, and their expertise in using plants for magical purposes was widely recognized. During the Renaissance, interest in herbal magic continued to grow, and many new books on the subject were written and published.

In the New World, indigenous cultures also had a deep connection with the plant world and utilized herbs in their spiritual practices. For example, Native American shamans used various herbs in their healing ceremonies and spiritual rituals, such as sweetgrass for purification and sage for protection. African traditions also had a rich history of using plants in their spiritual practices, such as the use of palo santo and frankincense for purification and protection. Today, herbal magic continues to thrive, and many modern witches and healers use herbs in their spells, rituals, and healing practices.

Moon Alert

After 2:30 AM EST today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Gemini.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Double check financial issues, especially related to the wealth of others as well as your own finances. For example, check details related to mortgages, banking, inheritances and shared property because something unexpected might throw you for a loop. (Yikes!)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

** Relations with spouses, partners and close friends are unpredictable today. That’s because you (or someone else) might spontaneously say or do something out of the blue. You might rebel against agreed-upon arrangements. You might also attract someone very unusual into your world. (Not a boring day.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** You have strong emotions today because the Moon is in your sign. Do be aware that issues related to your job, your health and your pet are up for grabs and completely unpredictable. Pet owners should be extra vigilant to avoid accidents. You might want to quit your job. Who knows?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Parents should be extra vigilant because today this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, romance might be on the rocks. Expect surprises and sudden interruptions. Likewise, social plans might suddenly change. Be aware this is the classic time for sports accidents, as well. It’s a crapshoot!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Today is full of unexpected arguments, sudden changes and delays. Your home routine might be interrupted. Issues with parents and bosses might take things in a new direction. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Stock the fridge so that you’re ready for anything.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

*** Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day! Your daily plans might change. Siblings, neighbours and relatives might surprise you. Unexpected news might catch you off guard. New faces, new places and new ideas could excite you. Be alert.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** Keep an eye on your money and finances because it’s a crapshoot today. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Be leery of investments. If shopping, keep your receipts – and the box.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** Today the Sun in your sign opposes unpredictable Uranus, which will create surprises in your one-to-one encounters. An argument might erupt. People might do or say things that are radically different and unexpected. Someone might demand more freedom in the relationship? Guard against accidents.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Today you feel restless as if you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. No doubt you will voice your feelings to someone; and some might even seek out shopping therapy because you’re interested in buying pretty things for yourself and others. Travel will appeal. Take things slowly today. Baby steps.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** The energy today is unpredictable and impulsive, which is why you might be surprised by the words or actions of a friend or a member of a group. You might suddenly want to break free of this association. “These are not my people.” Think twice before you act.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** Do not ask parents, bosses and authority figures for permission or approval today because their response will likely be, “Talk to the hand!” Relations with people in power are unpredictable. In turn, this could make you feel rebellious. (Don’t do anything you will later regret.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** This is an accident-prone day for you so pay attention to everything you say and do. Go slowly and gently and be mindful. Steer clear of touchy subjects like politics and religion because they could be explosive. Instead, focus on warm friendships. Stay chill.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Hannah Waddington (1974) shares your birthday today. You are wise, perceptive and strong-willed. You are also sensuous, sensitive and highly intuitive. Above all, you are individualistic. This is a powerful year for you because you will get recognition. Expect a promotion, a raise, kudos, awards – some kind of acknowledgement for your efforts. Bravo!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Saturday you will have this tendency to start a lot of things at the same time and to be all enthusiastic about people and ideas without really discriminating from what is plausible and what is not.

Someone close to you, most likely a friend will want to wake you up but you will most likely interpret their actions in a completely off way. Once you realize it, do apologize.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Things tend to go the exact opposite from what you expect but to be honest, I think it is more a matter of perception from your side rather than a real problem.

You prefer to cling to small details in order to have some plausible reasons to complain because apparently, there are other things on your mind, that you don’t want to talk about but you need something else to let all the anguish out through.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You seem to be keeping yourself under strict control this Saturday, whether you do it on purpose or not. There are enough criticism and enough things you would do differently than how you see them done but it seems that at the moment you tend to keep your advice to yourself.

If you are waiting to be asked what you would do in a particular situation, then rest assured you will be waiting for a while as people around you don’t seem very advice prone at the moment.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will have the tendency to take a small detail and transform it into something huge this day, of course, everything under the watchful eye of your partner, who might or not see where you are in mistake.

But you will love playing a drama queen today and you won’t be stopped. While this does spell a recipe for disaster, it might also stimulate your creativity and help you relax.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Some sort of professional change won’t make this Saturday easy, either that you have to go in the office or that you plan on working from home.

It is a moment of transition and you need to remember that most likely you aren’t the only one going through this. On the other hand, the more you plan your activities, the more free time you will end up having.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a great day for research endeavors and although you might be tempted to search the answer to you problems socially, it actually hides beneath certain small but essential pieces of information that you need to uncover.

Some newly found harmony might also make you feel a lot better about your family dynamic this Saturday.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This Saturday will challenge your patience and understanding with more than a few things that are not going to go the way you want them to.

And this is when the big question arises! How will you react? Will you pretend like nothing is wrong and just go on and about with your original plan, are you going to dramatize and complain to whomever is listening or are you going to act all grown up about it and adapt to whatever novelty arises?

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It seems that someone might be pressuring you towards making a particular decision and it will take you a while first to figure that this is actually happening and then to devise and exit plan.

Some natives might end up in such a hopeless state, maybe upon being disappointed by whomever is trying to manipulate them that they are even considering succumbing to the pressure and letting things go at their own pace.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

t seems that the stars have prepared something special this Saturday for the coupled natives, maybe a try out for them to rekindle whatever passion they have lost or to make out for the busy time they might have had in the past weeks.

It isn’t like any super plans are going to come down from the sky on you, but let’s just say you will be benefited in your romantic endeavors even with the smallest of gestures.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Until today, this week might have seemed a bit inconspicuous but it seems that starting this Saturday things are finally getting noticed.

This might apply to your personal activities but also to some dreamy plans you might have been making lately. Who knows what chances await you? You might feel a bit baffled and lacking energy but this won’t last long once you start discovering what’s in store.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A social day awaits you and in case this is not valid for your whole Saturday, be sure that at least the afternoon will be somewhat along these lines.

Some of the most benefited natives are those who can’t wait to escape a family routine, maybe small children and who will be the first to embrace whatever plan includes them spending a few hours outside of home surrounded by people of similar age and interests.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

While the stars would like to keep you under cover in case of any unpleasant events, it seems that overall this Saturday won’t let you really relax.

For some natives this might also mean that they will either have to go to work or deal with some pressuring work tasks in their own free time. Not a smooth way either for those who are planning to drive long distance so be careful about that too if this is your case.

HERBALISM AND FOLK REMEDIES: A BEGINNERS LOOK INTO TRADITIONAL HEALING

In an era dominated by advanced pharmaceuticals and medical technologies, the humble origins and principles of herbalism and folk remedies often seem overshadowed. Yet, there is a growing interest in these traditional methods of healing – a thirst for returning back to the wild and seeping in all the knowledge of natural medicines and foods we can find in the world around us. This interest is not just a nostalgic return to the practices of our ancestors, but a rational and evidence-based reconsideration of what effective medicine can look like in a modern context.

The reliance on synthetic drugs, heralded for their targeted action and potency, has somewhat obscured the value found in the natural compounds that have been the bedrock of medicinal practices for millennia. Despite this pharmaceutical shift, many folk remedies have remained in our homes – from lemon and ginger teas for sore throats and colds, to baking soda paste on nettle stings to stop the itchiness, what the world naturally gives us works – and so we come back to it.

There are benefits in herbal medicines, even if it is not quite understood which components are doing the helping, as this study suggests. These findings give credibility to traditional remedies and expand our knowledge on healing with accessible and effective resources that align with the principles of sustainability. It is always good to keep in mind that traditional medicine is in direct competition with the business of big pharma, so it’s no surprise there is a lack of official research being poured into the subject.
This exploration of natural remedies has identified active ingredients in common foods and herbs that support the treatment of various conditions— such as garlic’s antimicrobial properties, the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric, and the treatment of depression using St Johns Wort (though, for clarification, this particular study claims to have “inconclusive” results, despite finding St Johns Wort more effective than the standard treatments).
Nonetheless, these findings validate traditional medicine, as well as illuminate a path forward where health care can be more sustainable, grounded, and in tune with the natural world. Integrating folk remedies into contemporary healthcare practices is not about rejecting modern medicine’s achievements but about broadening our approach to healing.

Spell For Saturday – Jasper Protection Amulet Spell

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

Jasper Protection Amulet Spell

Unfortunately, there are times when you need protection, whether from a psychic attack, a hex or curse, or even just general negative energies. This Jasper Protection Amulet Spell can offer you various types of protection, including that of your home.

Jasper has many magickal properties but protection is one of its strongest energies. Simply select the colour of jasper that corresponds with your magickal intention:

  • Brown jasper for curse/hex protection
  • Green jasper for psychic protection
  • Ocean jasper for emotional protection
  • Pink jasper for love protection
  • Red jasper for general protection, including home

In addition, this spell also calls for both whole cloves and Witch’s Black Salt, both of which are very effective in all types of protection magick. You will need equal amounts of both and those amounts will depend on the size of your stone.

  Spell Tips:

  • A simple polished piece of jasper can be used to craft an effective amulet. Contrary to popular belief, an amulet does not have to be a pendant, although it may be one. In actuality, an amulet can be crafted from almost anything such as buttons, coins, crystals & stones, jewelry, religious medals, etc.
  • That said, consider using jasper jewelry such as a pendant, earrings, or a bracelet for this spell, especially if you’re going to need it for a prolonged period of time.
  • This spell will be more effective if worked during the full moon.
  • If you need protection longer than one month, repeat the spell during the following full moon.

 

  Tools & Ingredients:

a small jasper stone or carving

1+ teaspoon of whole cloves

1+ teaspoon of Witch’s Black Salt

a small bowl

  The Spell:

If your stone is physically dirty, clean it following the appropriate instructions found on Cleanse and Clean Crystals & Stones.

Use equal amounts of whole cloves and Witch’s Black Salt and mix them together in a small bowl.

Place the jasper in the bowl and cover it with the cloves and Witch’s Black Salt mixture.

Leave the stone in the bowl for 24 hours if the moon is full. Otherwise, it will need three days to charge fully.

Keep the amulet with you at all times since it can’t protect you if it isn’t with you. In the case of home protecting, place the amulet close to the main entrance door.

If you need protection longer than one month, repeat the spell during the following full moon.

1 Person’s View on The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Witchery

Food is essential. Some people take great delight in cooking and preparing meals while others find the activity to be a necessary chore.

But when does cooking become more than just cooking?

When you stir in a little magic and whip up something enchanting. Many of the basic ingredients you use to make your meals every day also have magical attributes.

What’s the difference between just throwing a few things together in a pot and creating magic?

Intent and focus, of course!

Whether you are still a secret witch or simply don’t have time for elaborate rituals, kitchen witchery is an easy way to integrate magic into your daily life. Herbs and other mundane ingredients can be used to witchify your next meal.

Your Kitchen Altar

If you plan to use kitchen witchery as your primary mode of witchcrafting, you may want to begin thinking of your kitchen as a sacred space. This, of course, will depend on your living situation and personal practice.

Take a moment to think about your kitchen. It’s probably often overlooked and under appreciated, but some truly magical things happen in this room.

The gifts of the Earth are transformed and combined into creations that nourish and benefit your body. That’s pretty neat!

While you probably can’t treat your kitchen as an altar all the time, there are a few things you can do to transform this room into a sacred space.

Address Energetic Imbalances

Just like any other space, the kitchen can sometimes collect unwanted energies, especially if it doesn’t get much sunlight. All those cabinets and crevices between appliances don’t help matters. And if you live in a rental there could be years of energetic build…

Magical Kitchen Decorations…

Tools…

Dishes, Cookware and Other Containers…

The Oven…

The Cauldron…

Mortar and Pestle…

Pantry…

Cooking and Eating Utensils…

Steps for Food Magic

  1. Set your purpose or intention before preparing each meal. For bigger changes you may need more than one meal.

  2. Select foods and ingredients that are suitable for your intention.

  3. Choose foods that you enjoy. Just because something has the magical association you are looking for doesn’t mean you should force yourself to eat something you dislike.

  4. Choose foods that contribute to a healthy diet. Don’t let magic lead you toward an unbalanced diet of junk food. Self care, folks!

  5. Visualize your intention. As you are prepare the ingredients by chopping, peeling, and heating, visualize yourself in the life where your intention has manifested.

  6. Eat with intention. Continue visualizing your life where your intention has manifested. Visualize the energy of the food transforming within you into your magical purpose.

  7. Give it time. Magic manifests gradually and naturally. Your magical purpose will likely not transform overnight.

Tips for Magical Cooking

  • Make sure you’re in a positive mood when working your culinary magic. You are, after all, the most important player when it comes to the vibrational energy of the meal.

  • Meditate, cleanse yourself, listen to music or perform another self care ritual before you begin cooking.

  • Be sure your intention is clear while you work in the kitchen so that your food is imbued with the magical essence you look to create.

  • Share your magical intention for the food with anyone who is sharing the meal with you. Be prepared to only charge your portion if they are not interested in magical food.

  • Incorporate kitchen witchery into your practice most easily at the Sabbats. If you are already celebrating with a special meal or potluck with friends, try making something magical and seasonal.

  • Remember that it’s not always necessary to look it up. Spicy food is generally protective, citrusy food is generally purifying, sweet food is generally loving. Do what feels right to you.

  • Consider starting a magical food diet that fuels your intention with foods that have similar energies. Check with a doctor or nutritionist before making drastic changes to your diet.

Cooking and magic have a lot in common. Both create something new by combining specific ingredients and both are meant to improve the overall well-being of the creator. Best of all—no matter how long you’ve been practicing each—there’s always more to learn: new tricks, techniques, and combinations.

Give yourself time to practice and experiment, and learn from your successes and mistakes.

November 15, 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for November 15th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.01 days old and 99.96% illuminated with a tilt of 174.882°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 361,531.52 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for November 15th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

Phase Details

Phase: Full Moon

Moon age: 14.01 days

Moon illumination: 99.96%

Moon tilt: 174.882°

Moon angle: 0.55

Moon distance: 361,531.52 km

Spell For Friday – Rose Attraction Spell

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

LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one takes the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them than go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you than please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals or birds or reptiles or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.

Rose Attraction

Sometimes it happens that you meet a person of the opposite sex who has all the qualities you have always wanted in a partner. It can be a friend, a colleague, or an acquaintance who can feel the same things for you.

So, what should you do? Just perform a love spell to attract the person of your dreams to you.

Ingredients:

A rosebud; if you can’t find roses, any other type of flower is fine.

Two pieces of paper

A pink candle; engrave your name and that of the desired person in it.

How to perform it:

Next to the candle, place two pieces of paper, one with your name and the other with that of your future lover, light the candle, and say:

“You and I will be one, my love. Venus, goddess of love, listens to my request. Let me triumph and let the fire of passion burn. My heart is waiting to be loved by you (name of the person you love) and with all my heart I thank Venus, the goddess of love.”

Repeat the spell more than three times; after the first two repetitions, visualize your future partner running towards you. On the third time, imagine him hugging you and telling you “I will love you forever.”

Let the candle burn out completely, keep the rose and the pieces of paper with the names with you; take the sheet with your name on it and wrap it around the other.

Create a small ball and insert them inside the flower by closing the petals. Make a hole in the ground and bury it all, saying:

“From now on we will be united together by a very deep love.”

Don’t use this spell to attract someone who is already in a relationship, it won’t work. This is not a breakup spell, but an attraction spell that aims to attract a single man or woman.

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 10:45 PM to 11:30 PM PST today. After that, the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini. Today’s Full Moon in Taurus peaks at 4:28 PM EST (1:28 PM PST).

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Financial matters might come to a head today about what you earn, what you own, and what you owe. When it comes to finances, it’s important to get the cold hard facts and not kid yourself. The truth of the reality of your situation is empowering.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

** Today the only Full Moon all year in your sign is taking place; and this will heighten your emotions and feelings. This is why you might have challenges or difficulties dealing with spouses, partners and close friends. Suddenly, everything “matters!”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** Difficulties at work or related to your health or a pet might arise today because of the Full Moon energy. Don’t try to make a big deal about anything. Don’t insist on being right. Lighten up and go with the flow to make this day work for you. That’s what really matters, right?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

** You feel the energy of today’s Full Moon because the Moon is ruler of Cancer. Today this could create difficulties dealing with your kids. Likewise, it could create romantic problems. Perhaps you feel forced to make a choice you don’t want to have to make? Fortunately, this will dissipate quickly.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Today you might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and your public reputation. It appears you can’t keep both happy. With this particular Full Moon, you cannot ignore your family scene. It was ever thus.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

** Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for you due to the Full Moon energy. Therefore, slow down and pay attention to everything you say and do. Don’t act rashly. Think before you speak, especially in response to others. Avoid controversial subjects. Be nice.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** The Full Moon today will bring issues into sharp focus that are related to your possessions, your money, as well as the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. You might be aware of your debt or what you owe someone and feel humbled. (Not easy.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This could create tension between you and spouses, partners and close friends. This is because during a Full Moon the Sun and Moon are opposite each other. Be tolerant. Show respect.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Today it’s important to put your cards on the table and speak your peace. Do this because you value honesty and you feel strongly about your ability to tell it like it is. (Sometimes to the chagrin of others.) Jump in, the water’s fine!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Be patient with your kids today because the Full Moon energy can make everyone more intense and volatile. Likewise, cut romantic partners some slack because the Full Moon increases tension and anxiety in them. Think of your long-term objective. You want to get along.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** The demands of your public life versus your private life are at odds today because of the energy and the complications of the Full Moon. Handle this as best you can; but do be aware you can’t ignore your public persona today. Maintain your reputation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** Avoid controversial discussions with others, especially about politics and religion because the energy of today’s Full Moon will snowball things into an argument. Don’t even go there. Your best bet is to agree to disagree. Keep things simple.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Shailene Woodley (1991) shares your birthday today. You are shrewd and perceptive, and sometimes stubborn. You have a distinctive personality that brings a particular energy to any gathering. This is a year of learning and teaching. Take time for reflection. Renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Explore meditation or yoga. Invest in yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You will be a lot more active this Friday than you have been the other past few days added together. Whether there are some later plans that are impassioning you to behave like this or it is just the thought of the weekend, those around will surely raise some eyebrows to this newly found energy.

Folk Magic

By Catherine Beyer Wicca Expert

The term folk magic encompasses a wide variety of diverse magical practices united only by the fact that they are the magical practices of the common folk, rather than the ceremonial magic that was worked by the learned elite.

Folk magic is generally of a practical nature, meant to address the common ills of the community: healing the sick, bringing love or luck, driving away evil forces, finding lost items, bringing good harvests, granting fertility, reading omens and so on. Rituals are generally relatively simple and often change over time as the workers are generally illiterate. Materials used are commonly available: plants, coins, nails, wood, eggshells, twine, stones, animals, feathers, etc.

Folk Magic in Europe

It’s becoming increasingly common to see claims about European Christians persecuting all forms of magic, and that folk magicians were practicing witchcraft. This is untrue. Witchcraft was a specific type of magic, one that was harmful. Folk magicians did not call themselves witches, and they were valued members of the community.

Moreover, until the last few hundred years, Europeans frequently did not distinguish between magic, herbalism, and medicine. If you were ill, you might be given some herbs. You might be instructed to consume them, or you might be told to hang them over your door. These two directions would not be seen as different nature, even though today we would say one was medicinal and the other was magic.

Hoodoo and Rootwork

Hoodoo is a 19th-century magical practice found primarily among African-American populations. It is a mixture of African, Native American, and European folk magic practices. It is generally strongly steeped in Christian imagery. Phrases from the Bible are commonly used in workings, and the Bible itself is considered a powerful object, able to drive away negative influences.

It is also frequently referred to as rootwork, and some label it witchcraft. It has no connection to Vodou (Voodoo), despite the similar names.

Pow-Wow and Hex-Work

Pow-Wow is another American branch of folk magic. While the term has a Native American origin, the practices are primarily European in origin, found among… Click here to read the rest of this article Source: learnreligions.com

16 November 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for November 16th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.01 days old and 99.96% illuminated with a tilt of 175.793°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 361,539.22 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for November 16th, 2024 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Spell For Friday – Invisibility Glamor

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

Invisibility Glamor

This glamor spell doesn’t make you literally invisible, instead, it makes you much harder to notice. Please keep in mind that glamor can only do so much, if you’re making a ton of noise or if someone is specifically looking for you, it will be less effective. This glamor does not create “rob a bank without being seen” levels of invisibility. Instead, you will skate under the radar of most people’s notice. When I use it, often people are distracted at opportune moments, absorbed in their own affairs, and otherwise unlikely to take any notice of me.

The one downside of this spell is that it takes a bit of practice and you need to be feeding the spell the entire time you want to be invisible. I would suggest that before you use it, you dress to blend in. Don’t wear a suit to a college campus. Don’t wear pajama pants in an office building. You want to make it easy for people to overlook you. Blend in with what people are expecting to see and they can ignore you.

Practice this at home and around housemates first before trying it out in public. Start somewhere secluded where you can focus. You will tap into a feeling signature or energy and then maintain that as long as you can.

Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Notice the surface of your body, where your skin meets your clothes or the air around your body. Feel into this very tangible part of yourself. When you’re ready, imagine this barrier between yourself and the outside world dissolving, leaving your outline hazy and indistinct. Imagine that your body becomes as insubstantial as mist, like someone could look right through you if they tried. Work to strengthen this feeling signature and cement it in your mind. When you’re ready, try opening your eyes and then getting up and walking around. Avoid catching sight of your reflection as that can jar you out of the right headspace. Can you maintain this sense of an insubstantial body while you are moving? When you can keep the insubstantial, mist-like feeling while moving, it’s time to try it with another person around. Again, remember that if you make noise or speak to anyone, they will probably still see you. If you struggle to maintain the insubstantial body around other people, or if it’s not effective, don’t worry. This takes practice! You might try adjusting the visualization or sensation that you’re focusing on. What would invisibility feel like to you?

Try this around different people and in different situations as you become more comfortable with the technique. You may find that some people are more susceptible to it than others, or that it’s easier for you to maintain in some situations more than others.

Keeping Track of Your Spells c.2015

 

KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR SPELLS

 

Whenever you do a spell, record all the details in your book of shadows. That way, you can perform the spell again at a later date, adjust it, or adapt it to other circumstances. Following is a list of the basic information you should include about any spell or ritual you perform:

Name and type of spell. Write this at the top of the page.

and time you did the spell. If it’s an original spell, you may also wish to add the date and time you composed it.

Who else was present, if anyone.

Moon phase. Add the moon sign if you know it, as well as other pertinent astrological information.

Weather. This is more important than you might think, as weather can affect your feelings as well as the place where you choose to perform your spell.

Location. Did you do the spell in the living room, backyard, etc.?

Your health. Your energy level and overall health can impact your spells. If you are female, also note where you are in your menstrual cycle.

Purpose of the spell. This may be obvious from the name of the spell, but a heading such as “Simple Cauldron Spell” might require a little more information about why you did the spell.

A complete list of the tools and ingredients used. This is vital for future reference and if you choose to repeat the spell.

Deities invoked, if any.

The entire text of the spell or ritual. You can write this down before the ritual, and just work from your text, if necessary.

How long it took to complete the spell.

The immediate reaction you felt to the ritual.

Short-term results. What did you notice over the first few days or weeks following the ritual?

Long-term results. What sort of changes have you observed over the following months or years?

You may choose to add other information you consider relevant, interesting, etc. Add drawings, poems, or other jottings if you like. Of course, you can always come back later and put in notations about things you thought of afterwards, dreams, discussions you may have had with fellow witches, and so on. It’s your book to work with however seems best for you.

So beware of producing any harm to others, on purpose or by mistakes. Of course you won’t do anything practical on purpose but you have no idea how harsh your words sometimes can be and how your criticism might be interpreted in a different way.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It seems that money is short or at least this is how you think about your current financial resources. And maybe it’s not such a bad way to view this, especially if it prevents you from spending it on things you don’t actually need.

However, this might not prevent you from having to say no to people who might want to borrow some money from you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The current disposition seems to be a sign of good changes ahead but you will still have to wait for a while before you see any real signs.

Some events might take you by surprise earlier but for the most of it, the learning part and the reflection will come later. You need to trust your instincts and don’t throw yourself head first.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You seem to be in a great shape physically but mentally there are enough things to weigh you down. From different concerns, more or less realistic to plans that have gone disrupted and for which you still have hard feelings.

This is a good time for meditation and for sports and you might be able to find a mixture between the two in order to help with your mind.
