All Signs

This week promises social opportunities and exciting romance! Monday is an ideal day to break free from routine and explore new vistas. (At least a new coffee shop.) Monday night is a great date night! Tuesday continues to be friendly and sociable; but Wednesday is crunchy. Oops. Wednesday is tough. Fortunately, Friday sets the tone for a fabulous weekend for romance, socializing, exploring the arts and having fun! Love at first sight can happen on Saturday when Venus is lined up with unpredictable Uranus. And in some cases, this will lead to marriage where two people take turns mashing the trash down in the hopes the other one will cave first and empty the bin.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although this is a fun-loving, sociable week, your primary focus will be on money, cash flow and earnings. Ka-ching! You’ll have moneymaking ideas, and because your ruler fiery Mars is in your sign, this means you won’t be afraid to act on them. Oh yeah! In fact, you have boundless energy this week! By the end of the week, you might receive a windfall or a gift, or you might literally find money. Or you might score something amazing when shopping, perhaps a surprising antique? Expect ways to sweeten your assets and fatten your coffers in a sudden way at the end of the week because this is entirely likely! Keep your eyes open because you might have to look. Be alert.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a lovely, friendly week for you. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are all in your sign, boosting your energy and enthusiasm, which will make you a powerful communicator. Many will be attracted to your optimistic energy. (Enthusiasm is contagious.) This is an excellent week to buy wardrobe goodies. And because something unexpected and fortunate will happen at the end of the week, you might want to shop on Saturday to take advantage of this lucky influence of sudden good fortune. Saturday is also a great day to look for a job or negotiate because unexpected opportunities will bless you. The weekend will be a productive time for you. (Meanwhile, do be aware of the possibility that someone around you does not have your best interests at heart. Keep your eyes open. Trust your hunches.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Although social opportunities abound this week, many of you will choose to play things low-key and enjoy your privacy because this is what you really want to do right now. Basically, this is because your personal year is coming to an end, and before your birthday arrives, you need some time to let the dust settle and think about what you want for your personal new year ahead. Nevertheless, competition with sports or groups or classes might take place for some of you. One thing is certain: with Mars in your 11th House, (something that can occur only once every two years for about six weeks) this is the perfect time to formulate goals for the future! Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Get ready to socialize this week because it will be a popular time for you! Many of you will be active with younger people more than usual, as well as creative and artistic people. You’re also ambitious at this time about achieving your goals, which is why you might attract help from others. This weekend, especially Saturday, something unusual or unexpected will occur that changes things for you. You might meet someone unusual. You might spontaneously join a club or an organization. You might fall in love with someone. In fact, this person might be a friend or a casual acquaintance and suddenly voila! Things are turning romantic! Who knew?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re looking swell this week, dear Leo because four planets are at the top of your chart. Not only will people notice you, they will listen to you. Because of this celestial advantage, this is an excellent time to go after what you want. Push the limits. Demand the advantage. Talk to bosses and authority figures. Make your pitch. (You get the idea.) Meanwhile, grab any chance to get outta Dodge because you need a change of scenery. Oh yes, you want some adventure in your life! You should know that these qualities combined will give you the ability to influence others. In part, this is because you identify with your beliefs now and will defend them with passion!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Life is thrilling for most of you at this time because you’re motivated to do something different. You’re eager to learn, which means many of you are studying or reading or meeting people from different backgrounds so that you can expand your knowledge of the world. Likewise, you’re motivated to travel because you want a change of scenery. You want adventure! You want the thrill of discovery! Because of this strong desire and motivation – you will make these things happen. If you can’t travel far, you can be a tourist in your own neighbourhood. All kinds of exciting, fresh things will be revealed to you. Perhaps even new love because Saturday is a time that is ripe for love at first sight!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re a social sign and this is a sociable week! Nevertheless, you’re dealing with taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances and insurance issues. (These are loose ends you have to work out.) Fortunately, the gods are with you! Gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. And they will surprise you. Therefore, keep your pockets open and hope for the best. Meanwhile, be patient with partners and close friends because fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which makes you irritated with others. Hint: Visualize these feelings of irritation floating up into a little cloud above your head that drifts away and dissolves.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week there are many possibilities for you in terms of close friendships, relationships and partnerships. To begin with, your focus is strong in these areas, and the presence of Venus and Jupiter will ensure smooth relations with others. Everything is hunky-dory. However, this same astrological influence might suddenly provoke new love, unexpected flirtations and sudden introductions that turn into something exciting! With this in mind, look your best when you go out. And if love at first sight doesn’t happen, walk by a second time. Even though you have this strong focus for socializing with others and meeting potential new love, you’re also working hard this week. (You deserve dessert.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

More than any other sign, the phrase “work hard/party hard” applies to you because you love the outdoors, you love animals, you love physical activities and you love to party. And when it comes to work – you’re no slouch. This week typifies your impulses in these areas. You have a strong work ethic to be productive and accomplish as much as possible in an efficient, effective way. And you will do this with unexpected praise, bonuses and perks. Surprise job opportunities might fall in your lap. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is in a playful part of your chart urging you to do exactly what you want. Romance will be passionate and competitive sports will appeal. Awright!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Throughout the year, different parts of your chart are highlighted as the planets move through them. This week there is a handful of planets in the most fun-loving, playful part of your chart. Therefore, accept invitations to socialize and party. Don’t hesitate to express yourself, especially creatively. Enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. And do be aware that for all signs, romance is percolating in the background; however, for you, it’s upfront centre stage! In fact, on Saturday, love at first sight, unexpected flirtations, surprise invitations and other exciting diversions will happen. (However, be careful about sports accidents.) Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home, family and your private life continue to be your primary focus at this time. Fortunately, this is also the same area that will give you pleasure and surprising rewards this week. Bonus! Family discussions and home repairs are likely. You might be involved with a parent more than usual. Redecorating projects will excite you making this is a fabulous week to entertain at home! Meanwhile, by the weekend, especially on Saturday, something unusual and surprising might occur. Stock the fridge because it could be a spontaneous get-together or a surprise party. You might make an unusual purchase that pleases you – something artistic or high tech. Real-estate opportunities might also drop in your lap. Stay tuned!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your busy, fast pace continues this week. However, now life is more upbeat and fun-loving because Mercury will join the Sun, Venus and Jupiter, as well as Uranus in the part of your chart associated with everyday activities, schmoozing with relatives, siblings and neighbours plus, finding opportunities to learn, travel and meet new people and hear new ideas. In a nutshell – this is an exciting week! And by the weekend, something unexpected will surprise you. You might meet someone new and unusual. Sudden romance, especially with someone you already know, might catch you off guard. Meanwhile, you’re working hard to earn money because it’s going out as fast as it comes in. This is a great week to sign up for a course or explore learning opportunities.

Spell For Monday – To Be Free of Something Negative

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

To Be Free of Something Negative

Draw an outline of yourself in the soil. Next, over it draw a symbol representing that which you wish to be free of.

Draw this symbol over the image. Gaze at it, see the symbol as part of yourself, as you are now.

Then, with careful strokes, completely erase the symbol with your fingertips. Make sure you don’t damage your original outline, however, if this happens, redraw immediately. Now gaze at the new you, free of the negative aspect and ready to start again with a cleaner slate.

Repeat every day for seven days.

Eight of Wands – Minor Arcana

The Eight of Wands describes eight sticks soaring in the air with dizzying speed. This image shows changes, moves and travels. On the card, the background is very clear, showing that there are very few obstructions in your way and there is a beautiful and peaceful river that brings life to all things which are nearby.

In the movie Ten Commandments, Moses touched his stick into the water to spread the waves. His stick is a symbol of power to initiate events. The stick of Moses evokes the image of those sticks in the Eight of Wands Tarot card. They are the symbol of the beginning of action and the effects as well as consequences of such actions. Before we act, we think, imagine, study, exchange, and delude. This is the place of the element Air which is the sky. We give practical and possible ideas, then turn them into action.

This card also has a different meaning which is the appearance of news or new information. You can see or hear something important. The news may appear as a metaphor, so stay awake and pay attention to everything that happens to you at this time.

This card also implies an end. Sooner or later everything ends. Those eight sticks in this card not only focus on starting the events, but also bringing these events to an end. It seems the sticks in this card are about to fall to the ground. If you see this card in a Tarot spread, this may be the time to stop whatever you are doing. You can celebrate the events that happened, but also prepare to receive new things.

KODA

Grove, convergence, ecosystem, review, crossroads, harmony

Tree: Collection of various trees

Letter: Ch

Koad represents a point on the map of your life and cause to reflect on what got you there as well as where you are headed. Many factors conspired to bring you where you are today. An entire ecosystem exists in and around you that is as unique as a fingerprint. This ecosystem is neither entirely good nor entirely bad, which is why this Ogham and the rest of the Forfedha (Oir, Uilleand, Phagos, and Mor) are too complex to be read as well or ill-dignified. Koad is one particular harmony/dissonance at this point in your life. If your life is going well in some respects, this could mean a feeling of competence and capability or a feeling of love and being loved. If you are in a time of stress, Koad may represent the s**tstorm whirling around you. Or all of the above could be going on at once.
You are here to learn a certain set of unique lessons in this lifetime. There are many roads you can take any given day, and like one of those old Choose Your Own Adventure books, each road has its own outcome. Sometimes two seemingly different roads have the same outcome. Koad indicates a feeling of responsibility and ownership of your decisions, however, other factors you cannot control should be taken into account as well, such as family history, social norms, laws, and the era in which you dwell.

Many people do not realize that orchestral symphonies are major works that are frequently an hour in length. A symphony is an elaborate ABA form (think Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on steroids) with mini-breaks between three sections. If your life is a symphony, imagine Koad as one moment in one measure of a huge programmatic work of music. What harmony have you achieved? Are you in a slow or fast movement?

Hexagram Thirty – Five 35

Chin / Aspiration

The Sun shines down upon the Earth:
Constantly honing and refining his brilliance, the Superior Person is a Godsend to his people.
They repay his benevolence with a herd of horses, and he is granted audience three times in a single day.

Promotion.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is a time of reward for good works.
Those you have helped want to show their gratitude.
Benefits come both from on high and from the humble you uplifted.
Accept all gifts graciously, though the reward may not be what you truly need or hoped for.
Some may bestow more than they can afford to give, but you must realize that they need to feel that they have repaid you.

In order to be happy in love, they need some level of change and variety. They also require mental stimulation.

Three of Wands

This is the bridge that reaches the edge of the world. The lower steps below tempt those who are curious and brave to go there and embark on a dangerous journey. It bent across the sky but then did not go much further. She stood on the borderline and hesitated, and wondered where she was going. The dazzling sunlight overhead made her squint, radiating beneath the shimmering bands of light that stretched along the river, reflecting on the hill in the distance below. Like a crystal with endless energy, slowly rising, it brought with itself the eternal light like all the potential she had, waiting for her from deep within, with every breath, every moment that contains the ability that either discourages or encourages us. Be aware of the hidden potential in all things.

She looked at the wands of the travelers who had first arrived. It could also be that from this position they turn away and leave, just like a threat to what happens to the next ones. She hesitated for a moment, did not look down, and then stepped into the indeterminate place. She felt the strong rocks and clay beneath her feet, then realized the bridge was gradually perfected from the steps and dreams of others. She took a breath and then began to take the first step – just like that, step by step, the bridge accordingly grew below her feet.

Through this, the message that Three of Wands wants to send you is to explore, search for new things, discover and expand to new horizons. Let’s broadcast your vision in all situations and clearly show your leadership.

Keywords related to the Three of Wands Shadowscapes Tarot: first reward, employment, professional development, competitiveness, competence, high standards, expertise, skilled, satisfaction at work, hard work, advancement, recognition, certification, progress, confidence, good start.

WUNJO

Joy, Light

This rune is the fruit-bearing branch. Time of travail is gone and to some extent you have found yourself. The necessary change is now behind, and you are free to receive its blessing, either material or emotional or an increased well-being. Wunjo is a rune of restoration of a harmonious combination of limtting the ego with the higher self. Properly seen, everything is a test. Consciously in the present, honest to the others and with confidence in your way, you should know that you cannot fail.

The Rings

Keywords: Love, relationships.

Meanings: The Rings is the rune of love and again, when it is the leading stone, it is a positive answer to your question. It is very much a rune of relationship and can indicate engagement, marriage or a new/renewed relationship. It can also indicate the need for a fresh approach to an existing relationship.

Saille/Suil

Associated with the willow tree, Saille corresponds to letter S. Willow trees are associated with the moon and water. However, the tree used in the ogham alphabet isn’t the famous weeping willow, but the pussy willow.

Since it’s sacred to the moon, it also embodies the association of imagination, intuition, and instinct, as well as flexibility and flow. Also, it’s regarded as sacred to the Welsh goddess Ceridwen who rules over the moon.

Hexagram 61

Chung Fu / Inner Truth

The gentle Wind ripples the Lake’s surface:
The Superior Person finds common ground between points of contention, wearing away rigid perspectives that would lead to fatal error.

Pigs and fishes.
You may cross to the far shore.
Great fortune if you stay on course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

The subject of this hexagram discovers a key to Tranquility by first gaining insight into his own nature, then turning that vision outward.
By resolving inner conflicts and being at peace with himself, he learns to gain insight into others.
In effect, he enters another, sees with the other’s eyes, listens with the other’s ears, feels with the other’s heart.
He then returns to his own center, with new perspective and understanding.

Two

Harmony is your nickname. You thrive in relationships – with your romantic partner, family, friends, coworkers, or even the salespeople at stores! You talk to everyone, you are down to earth and people love your presence. You are the life of the party! But sometimes, maintaining the peace in a relationship is so important to you that you forget who you are and make sacrifices that aren’t reciprocated. Learn to stand your ground and put your foot down when necessary. In matters of business, 2 is a great number for successful partnerships. If your life path number is 2, or if the digits of a date adds up to the number 2, know that it’s the best energy to enter into business agreements and create projects through teamwork. 2 is a wonderful omen for signing peace agreements between countries, making up for past mistakes between lovers, and to make any past wrongs right.

Ioho

Grace, death, letting go, endings, rest, the beauty of decay

Tree: Yew (Taxus spp.)

Letter: Y

Ioho symbolizes the acceptance of enduring realities and legacies of the past. If you draw Ioho, look for the end of a phase or cycle. Ioho suggests you are handling or will handle the matter at hand with dignity and grace.

Modern culture has spent a great deal of time running away from the ideas of death and decay as natural, welcome processes. As a result, we have a society obsessed with launching our species into space for fear of extinction, a medical industry bent on extending life long after it has ceased to have any quality, and a fixation on youth that motivates the middle aged to undergo brutal, grisly procedures in order to look twenty. When we frame aging (not just of human beings) in a sensible way, we understand that getting old isn’t so terrible. People age and die. Technologies change. Weeks become years. Eras fade away. Letting go is for the best.

Spell For Friday – The Witch’s Friendship Bottle

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

The Witch’s Friendship Bottle Spell 

Wish you could call more like-minded friends into your life? Maybe you live in a town where you feel that no other Wiccans, Pagans, Witches, or Healers live in? Perhaps you’re looking for a very specific new friend who is along the same life-path as you and wants to help solve the problems of the world, just like you do!

If you’ve already checked Witchvox.com to find new Witchy friends, then try a more magickal route; open the path to new friends with our favorite Witch’s bottle spell — The Witch’s Friendship Bottle Spell! This friendship spell has brought numerous Wiccan friends into my life and we’ve remained friends for over a decade!

The best part? You can cast this spell with ingredients from your kitchen!

How To Make The Witch’s Bottle Friendship Spell

Spell timing:

  • Waxing Moon or Full Moon
  • Friday
  • Hour of Venus

Ingredients:

  • Sage or Palo Santo (to energetically cleanse all ingredients)
  • 1 Glass Jar with a lid, sterilized
  • Yellow paper (Yellow is the color of friendship.)
  • 1 Black pen, or your favorite quill and ink
  • Scissors
  • Cauldron or fire-proof bowl, optional
  • Pentacle Plate/Peyton, optional
  • Tiger’s Eye, or 6 Tiger’s Eye pebbles
  • 6 Coriander pods or powder (or any other friendship herbs you’d like)
  • 3 Lemon Slices, sun dried
  • 3 Drops of Preserved Lemon Juice
  • Yellow, Brown, or Pink Candle

Spell Instructions:

  1. Prepare your ritual space: Cleanse yourself with sage or palo santo, and use your favorite circle casting technique. Here is our favorite!
  2. Cleanse and consecrate: Using your sage and palo santo, cleanse each item that will be used in your friendship spell. Visualize each item surrounded with yellow light and know that each ingredient will bring new friends into your life.
  3. Visualize: Place the jar on your pentacle plate or altar, if not using a peyton. Visualize that as it fills, so shall your life fill with new, aligned friendship. Visualize yourself being happy.
  4. Write the traits of your new friend(s): Cut the yellow paper into strips. On each strip, write one exact trait or quality that you want your new friend(s) to have. As you write, say the quality out loud and visualize the friend you make with that quality. Important Note: Do NOT list a specific person. You’re calling the person who will be right and best for you, and it’s not always the person that you THINK you want.
  5. Add the traits to the jar: One at a time, pick up a trait/quality strip, say the trait out loud, visualize the friend you are calling having that trait, light the paper on fire, and let it burn to ash in your cauldron. Continue visualizing as it burns, then dump the ashes into your jar. If you’re not using a cauldron, you can simply fold the paper strip, unfold it to release the magick, and drop it into the jar. Note: If you are calling one friend, fold the paper once. If you’re calling multiple friends, fold the paper the number of times for each friend you’re calling.
  6. Add Lemon Seeds to grow the friendship: Drop in the lemon seeds, one at a time, and say, “Into this bottle, I drop this seed To manifest into my need. I wish that my number of friends will grow, Based on the qualities I’ve placed below. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  7. Add Tiger’s Eye to call only true friendship: Drop the tiger’s eye into the jar and say, “Tiger’s Eye to keep away false friends, And allow me to see the friends who will be loyal ‘til the end. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  8. Add Coriander to invoke the true love of friendship: Drop or sprinkle in the coriander and say, “Coriander to invoke sisterly/brotherly love, Sisterly/brotherly love that my life has been void of. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  9. Add Dried Lemon Slices to promote long-term growth of the friendship from seed: Place the dried lemon slices on top of the contents of the jar and with each addition say, “A lemon slice, the color yellow, Placed into this bottle to show Just how much the fruit called our friendship will grow. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  10. Add Preserved Lemon Juice to preserve the friendship: Drop three drops of preserved lemon juice from the refrigerated bottle into the jar, and say: “Refrigerated lemon juice, meant to preserve, Serve the purpose you were meant to serve. Preserve this friendship, every little drop, Let us remain good friends until time stops. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  11. Seal the spell: Place the lid on the jar, and using the colored wax, seal it. As you finish sealing the lid, say: “An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  12. Visualize and release: Visualize a great friendship while seeing a yellow or pink light around the bottle. Know the spell is done, and it is.

Fehu – “Cattle/Wealth”

The first of the Elder Futhark, Fehu indicates prosperity and material wealth, either won or earned income. It can represent good luck, abundance and financial success in the near future. It can also relate to social success. Not everyone chooses to read a rune as reversed (“merkstave”) if it comes up that way, but if doing so resonates with you- its reversed meaning may indicate the loss of personal possessions or income, a dip in self-esteem or some other kind of struggles. In Tarot, this could be seen as The Tower card.

KEYWORDS: Abundance, luck, hope, prosperity

Witches’ Runes

Trinity

Triple goddess, life/death/rebirth, trinity, love – romance

Some people read this witches rune as a flower – new life, birth, fertility, love. I tend to read it more like the triquetra – life/death/rebirth cycles, triple goddess, etc. It’s completely up to you how YOU interpret these!

Ogham

Onn-Gorse

While it also may have thorns, Gorse is known for a vibrant yellow flower that can last almost year round. For this reason this plant has become a symbol of vitality. It may be hardy and have some thorns but it protects wildlife and shines bright for everyone to see. When you draw this letter keep in mind optimism, positivity, and vigor. With Onn you will prevail as long as you keep your flower in bloom!

Fortune – This Ogham tells you that you will prevail! Stay happy and optimistic and everything you seek will turn out great!

Thunder beneath the Lake’s surface.
The Superior Person allows himself plenty of sheltered rest and recuperation while awaiting a clear sign to follow.

Supreme success.
No mistakes if you keep to your course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Thunder from the Lake — the lulling, rhythmic roar of the faithful tide, eternally wearing away the stone of the shoreline, forever obedient to the phases of the moon.
The pull of the moon on the tide is the Following called for now.
As mighty as the tide is in its own right, it is ever the puppet of the invisible, irresistible gravity of the moon.
What cyclical forces pull you along?
Are you futilely attempting to resist a natural attraction?

Being a Taurus born on May 7th, you are persistent and motivated in pursuing the goals you so impulsively set out for yourself. Kind and charming, it doesn’t take you long to get close to people although you tend not to be very trusting with others.

Having an inquisitive nature, you are always questioning things and don’t give up until you get to the middle of what is going on, every time. Prepare to read a special report below.

 The zodiac sign for May 7 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. The sign of the Bull is influential for those born April 20 – May 20, when the Sun is considered to be in Taurus. It is representative for stubborn individuals who are also patient and tactful.

 The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac. It is spread on an area of 797 square degrees. It covers visible latitudes between +90° and -65°. It lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East and the brightest star is called Aldebaran.

 The name Taurus is the Latin definition for the Bull, the May 7 zodiac sign. The Italians call it Toro while the Spanish say it is Tauro.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This is relevant in astrology because it shows that partnerships between the Taurus and Scorpio sun signs are beneficial and highlight wits and bravery.

 Modality: Fixed. This modality of those born on May 7 suggests persistence and enlightenment and also offers a sense of their original nature.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house symbolizes material possessions and everything that is of passage in someone’s life.

 Ruling body: Venus. This combination suggests charm and inquisitiveness. Venus is one of the seven classical planets that can be seen with the naked eye. Venus is also representative for the mystery of these natives’ existences.

 Element: Earth. This element represents conformity and responsibility and is considered to dominate over the confident and polite people connected to May 7 zodiac. Earth shapes things in association with water and fire.

 Lucky day: Friday. This day is representative for the realistic nature of Taurus, is ruled by Venus and suggests sexuality and support.

 Lucky numbers: 5, 7, 12, 16, 20.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on May 7 are patient and understanding but quite tenacious and constant when they desire something. They possess a relaxed temperament and prefer to maintain a peaceful and gentle appearance. They thrive when they are accompanied by their families and closed friends but also aim to revolve in higher circles. However, they are quite frustrated by incertitude and feelings of insecurity in situations that require rapid change.

 Positive traits: These people are conscientious, kind hearted and know that once they set up to do something they need to finish it no matter what misfortunes they meet along the way. And they do everything in the most dignified way. Taurus people are usually unfailing but in transformation they ask for great security and sureness. Those born under this sign have a great combination of aspiring and generosity that can only set them to great success for their communities.

 Negative traits: One of the things Taurus needs is to learn to accept judgment and not overly react but analyze and improve whatever needs to be improved. Those born on this day can have an extremely narrow vision of things and can also be very bull headed and this usually leads to frequent irritability and emotions of annoyance. They are sometimes prone to laziness and avoidance of obstacles. Not only they lack malleability at times but they also seem rigid in contexts where they shouldn’t like when with their partner.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 7 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.

 Their love personality can be defined as reserved and quiet. They can be rather stubborn and expect others to make the first steps. When in a relationship their love progresses quickly, their attitude changes and they turn into a devoted and persistent lover. Despite the fact that they are friendly and generally happy persons it is quite difficult for them to settle for someone, probably because they are expecting things to happen instead of making them happen. They are most compatible with those born on the 1st, 2nd, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th.

 May 7 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Taurus is constantly seeking for someone who is both attractive and unpredictable and can keep their interest alive and the most suitable to offer them this is the native from Scorpio. Taurus is thought to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Green is the color defined for May 7 and in general for Taurus natives.

Green symbolizes fertility and growth and is considered to be a color of the earth. This zodiac color is advised to be used in accessories and items of clothing.

Witch Trials in the 21st Century

The most famous witch trial in history happened in Salem, Massachusetts, during the winter and spring of 1692-1693. When it was all over, 141 suspects, both men and women, were tried as witches. Nineteen were executed by hanging. One was pressed to death by heavy stones.

However, witch trials are not a thing of the past. Indeed, charges of witchcraft and trials of suspected witches are increasing.

Witchcraft

The word witchcraft has good and bad meanings in different cultures around the world. A general definition of witchcraft is the changing of everyday events using supernatural or magical forces.

Witchcraft is usually associated with the power of nature, such as medicinal and poisonous plants, or rains and floods. People accused of witchcraft are said to be able to control natural events such as storms or droughts.

So-called “witch doctors” use combinations of plants and animals, as well as spirituality or supernatural ability, to treat medical conditions. These “witch doctors” are not accused of being witches themselves—they heal illnesses and ailments blamed on witchcraft. “Witch doctor” is often a derogatory term for a traditional healer. Traditional healers, who rely on ancient remedies, are not witch doctors.

Unlike traditional healers, witch doctors use spells. Spells are words or phrases that are suspected of having magical powers. Casting a spell to be wealthy or lucky in love is an example of witchcraft.

Anxiety Be Gone: Purple Candle Spell

Recipe by Megan Black

Try this easy ‘Anxiety Be Gone!’ Spell to quickly banish anxiety and boost your confidence. All you need is a purple candle and your intentions!

INGREDIENTS

  • Purple Candle

DIRECTIONS

  • Create your sacred space in your usual way. You may choose to cast a circle, as well.
  • Hold your unlit purple candle in your hand and close your eyes. Let your anxiety and stress flow from your hands and into your candle.
  • Now, take three deep, cleansing breaths. As you inhale, envision a white light flowing through you. This white light is full of peace, calm, and positivity. As you exhale, envision a murky gray leaving you. This is your stress, anxiety, and negativity.
  • Open your eyes and place your candle on your altar. Then, take your match or lighter and light your candle.
  • Gently gaze at your candle flame and say the following:By the gentle glow of this candle’s light,
    I banish anxiety into the night.
    With the candle’s flame and magic’s grace,
    I find serenity in this sacred space.

    With every flicker, let peace arise,
    As I chant these words to the skies.
    Anxiety, you shall now depart,
    From the depths of my soul and my heart.

    In the name of peace and inner calm,
    I banish anxiety with this balm.
    Anxiety be gone by the candle’s gleam,
    As I will it, so mote it be!

  • Close your eyes and spend a few moments in quiet reflection, allowing the spell to do the work. Take several deep breaths, letting the anxiety and negativity flow from you like water down a stream.
  • If it is safe to do so, let the candle burn all the way out. Then dispose of the remains in the trash. If you can’t let the candle burn all the way down, extinguish the flame and light it again if you repeat the spell.
