Spell for Today – A Bloodstone Protection and Courage Spell

 

Now that you are starting to get into the passionate, courageous, and daring qualities of Tuesday, here are a few more spells for you to experiment with. Don’t be afraid to adapt these spells to suit your needs. Add some tarot cards, herbs, scents, crystals, or essential oils to these Tuesday spells, and crank up the volume on your own witchery! As long as your intentions are honorable, I am sure they will work out beautifully

 

A Bloodstone Protection and Courage Spell

The bloodstone, when worn or carried, brings courage and eliminates fear and anger. The bloodstone was often used as a talisman for athletes and warriors. When you need a little extra courage and bravery to face challenges and stressful, scary situations, give this practical Witch’s spell a whirl.

For this particular crystal spell, you will need a few supplies: a red spicy-scented votive candle, a votive candle cup, three bloodstones (inexpensive tumbled stones are perfect), a photo of yourself or a small snip of your own hair, a small cast-iron cauldron, and matches or a lighter. Set up on a safe, flat surface.

Place the photo or snip of hair in the bottom of the cauldron. Now place the candle inside of the cup. Set this in the center of the small cauldron, on top of the photo or the hair. (If you are worried about the heat damaging the photo, then set the photo beneath the cauldron.) Next, arrange the three bloodstones around the candle cup. Ground and center yourself. Then, when you are ready, light the candle and repeat the following spell three times:

On this Mars day, there is fiery energy to spare

I call for courage and passion to know, to will, to dare

Three green bloodstones and a burning candle of red

I call for bravery and banish fear and dread.

Focus on the flame for a few moments. Believe in your ability to handle the situation, whatever it may be.

Close the spell by saying:

For the good of all, with harm to none

By Mar’s energy, this spell is done.

Let the candle burn until it is consumed. If this is an ongoing problem or conflict, then repeat the spell every day for one week (in other words, from a Tuesday until the following Tuesday). Clean out the votive cup and light a new red votive candle for each day of the spell. When you are finished working this, clean up your setup, and put away all of the spell components. If you like, you can carry those tumbled bloodstones with you to help reinforce your convictions.

Mysterious ‘Lord of the Universe’ Deity from Ancient Palmyra Finally Identified

The identity of an unknown god described in inscriptions from the ancient city of Palmyra, located in modern-day Syria, has long baffled scientists. But now, a researcher declares that she has cracked the case.

Palmyra existed for millennia and the city flourished around 2,000 years ago as a center of trade that connected the Roman Empire with trade routes in Asia, such as the Silk Road.

The anonymous deity is mentioned in numerous Aramaic inscriptions at Palmyra and is referred to as “he whose name is blessed forever,” “lord of the universe” and…

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or making important decisions until 9:30 PM EDT today (6:30 PM PDT). The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re pulled in two directions today. In one way, you’re in a no-nonsense mood, and want to attend to practical matters. Nevertheless, another part of you wants to run away and join the circus. It’s your call. (Pack a lunch.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Listen to your sense of determination today because you want to set things straight with financial matters, banking issues, insurance and inheritances. You have the energy to make this happen, and very likely, authority figures will agree with you. This is good!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have to accommodate others today because the Moon is opposite your sign. However, all parties might need to bow to the authority of knowledge and wisdom today because teachers and experts might have some good advice for you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a strong way to start your week! The Sun and Mercury are in your sign, which means you are empowered and ready to speak up about whatever concerns you. Today you want to get better organized. A little help to do this would be appreciated. Hello?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a good day to sit down in a common-sense way and discuss the financial and everyday needs of children. You might have this discussion with a parent, a babysitter or a partner. Or perhaps you want practical solutions to sports matters or something in the entertainment world?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

An older relative or parent might have practical advice for you today. It certainly never hurts to listen. After all, they might have some solid viewpoints you didn’t consider. Why not cover your bases and hear what they have to offer? The bottom line is you want to get things done.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re in the right frame of mind today to study or make plans or talk to people about practical issues. You might even give someone directions or advice. Because you’re in a calm, reflective mood today, you might prefer being alone with your own thoughts.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

If shopping today, you will want to buy long-lasting, practical items. No frills, please. This is because you feel thrifty and sensible today, especially when it comes to your money and your personal wealth. Nevertheless, you can still make future travel plans.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing nicely with stern Saturn, which means you will prefer the company of serious people. You’ll be happy to consult someone older, wiser or more experienced for their advice. You’ll take a prudent, careful approach to anything you do.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It will please you if you get some time to be alone with your thoughts today so that you can do some quiet meditation or rethink certain issues. That’s because you’re in a careful frame of mind today, especially when it comes to practical matters.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a solid day to seek the advice of someone older, wiser or more experienced than you. This person could be a friend or a teacher. In particular, you want to ponder future goals and how practical or not they might be. Perhaps you need some advice?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Discussions with bosses, parents and VIPs will be practical and fruitful for you today. Since you are taking a careful approach to any kind of work that you do, you want to make sure that you’re on the right track so that there are no later regrets. (Smart!)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Connor Paolo (1990) shares your birthday today. You have charm and charisma. You are friendly, easy-going, kind and generous. Although you can be a dreamer, you are actually focused, motivated and ambitious. Service to others, especially to family, is your theme this year. Others will turn to you for comfort and courage. Therefore, take good care of yourself. Perhaps it’s time for a makeover?

Spell for Today – Shield Spell Printable

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence Digest for Tuesday

From LearnReligions.com

Named for the Norse god Tyr, who was a deity of heroism and combat, Tuesday is a very martial sort of day—color associations include bright red and oranges, as well as warrior-like metals such as iron and steel.

The ancient Romans called this day Martis, after the warrior god Mars—other deities associated with Tuesday include Ares, the Morrighan, and other gods of battle and glory. Red gemstones like rubies and garnets come into play on Tuesdays, as do herbs and plants such as thistles, holly, coneflowers, and cacti—you’ll notice these are all sharp, prickly plants!

One of the interesting—and more than a little amusing—aspects of Tuesday magic is that in addition to war and conflict against your enemies, this is a day also associated with marriage. You can also use this day of the week for magical workings connected to protection and initiation. Use Tuesday to assert yourself, make a mark and stake your claims.

A Laugh for Today

I bought myself a tank top that says, “More Naps.” I think this is a good day to wear it…lol

Spell for Today – A Garnet Meditation

A Garnet Meditation

Garnet, the birthstone for January, is also a great all-purpose gem to use as an aid during meditation. It can be used to help make decisions or bring order to your life.

For the meditation, you’ll need a garnet gem or a smooth garnet stone. A string of garnet prayer beads would also work. Select a deep red garnet or one with a brown tint. You’ll also need a burgundy candle. Begin by lighting the candle, then relax and center. Hold the garnet and breathe deeply. Concentrate on your concern and then hold the garnet to your heart. You’ll begin to receive messages. Let them come, even if they don’t make sense. When youfeel ready to return to your everyday world, extinguish the candle. Thank the garnet for its help. Your thoughts should be clearer now so you can make any decisions.

July 10, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

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 Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on July 10 has an illumination of 85%. 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 July 10 the Moon is 10.98 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.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

All Signs

This week we are walking a tight rope balancing heart and mind — logic versus emotional sentiments. By midweek, balance will be achieved. (“I want a hot dog. Make me one with everything!”) However, Wednesday is also the only Full Moon all year in productive and useful Capricorn. It will make us feel more personally in charge of our lives. We don’t need the approval of others; instead, we have our own inner validation. I once heard a wise teacher say, “If you think you know something and you don’t – that’s arrogance. If you think you know something and you do – that’s confidence.” Dale Carnegie said, “Action breeds confidence. If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” (Hmmm, does this mean I have to get dressed?)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your home scene might be interrupted this week with unusual surprises and events. Renovations and repairs along with unexpected visitors are some examples. A family member might have an unusual idea? Or perhaps, a family member will do something a bit dazzling or different? Meanwhile, an element of confusion will be at play with siblings, relatives, neighbours and daily contacts. This could make you underestimate a situation or not “get” what’s going on. (Usually, you are quick to see what’s happening.) Be aware that your ability to interpret what’s happening around you might not be hundred percent reliable. By the end of the week, entertaining at home will be fun! Make plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an active, busy week because Mars in your sign is boosting your energy and keeping you busy. But expect your daily routine to change. Oh yes! You might meet someone who sets a chain of events in motion that you didn’t expect. Something out of the blue might occur. Whatever happens, you can handle this because Mars is supporting you. Be aware that financial matters might create confusion. For starters, you’ll be tempted to go overboard buying something luxurious. (Not surprising because you adore collectibles.) Be forewarned something might not be as it appears. Double check purchases. Save your receipts. By the weekend, a short trip or discussions with others will be upbeat and fun!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful because there is a tricky aspect happening this week: Venus in your sign is having a confusing dance with fuzzy Neptune. This could make you unrealistic in your dealings with others but you’re not aware of it. For example, you might be disappointed because someone doesn’t live up to your ideals. (Note: Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment.) In one way, Venus will make you seek out romantic moments with loved ones, candlelit dinners with romantic vibes. But it might also create a confused situation that leads to a breakup. Meanwhile, impulse shopping will take place. Fortunately, you’re happy about your possessions and financial matters by the end of the week. Perhaps a special purchase?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This continues to be a strong week because the Sun and Mercury are in your sign. In fact, Mercury will get an electric jolt from Uranus this week, triggering new discoveries, new encounters and exciting new events. You will impulsively do things like suddenly reaching out to others. Caution about rash, impulsive decisions, especially because with Venus hiding in your chart, you might feel confused about a relationship, especially a secret love affair. You might even be deceived! Therefore, think carefully before you make important decisions because somethings in your world are puzzling. (“No matter what I do to kid-proof the house – they keep getting in!”)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week is weird. Both the Sun and Mercury are stirring up your subconscious more than usual. You might revert to childhood behaviour patterns that you thought were long gone. (“These are mine!”) This can mean your actions might work against you and suddenly, you’re your own worst enemy. (“Really? I’ve had worse.”) Beware of sudden, “bright” ideas that might not be so bright, even though they initially dazzle with promise. Meanwhile, relations with an artistic person might be confusing even deceiving. You’re not sure how to handle things. You might be disappointed in this person. (Leos have high standards for their friends.) Fortunately, by the weekend, you’re happy. There’s sunshine in your soul.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re popular! Everyone wants to see your face, especially younger people. You also look good to bosses, parents, teachers and the police. (Major bonus!) Fortunately, you’re full of bright, creative ideas that impress friends and member of groups to which you belong. You might start off on a new path or suddenly embrace new goals that are bold and different. However, something to do with a parent or a boss might confuse you or end up in a misunderstanding. For some, this misunderstanding could lead to a breakup of the relationship. Too many assumptions? Fortunately, by the weekend, opportunities to schmooze with others abound. “Come out to the coast. We’ll get together, have a few laughs.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This week you are admired, which means you have an advantage. If you ask someone for something, whatever you say will be well received. (Good to know.) Furthermore, you’re full of bright, clever ideas that you can suggest to a boss or someone in power. (Possibly, it’s the other way around and an authority figure has a bright idea that they suggest to you.) Either way, everyone wins! Nevertheless, be aware that travel plans or something to do with foreign countries might be confusing this week. Something might promise more than it can deliver. Or perhaps, you will fall for appealing propaganda that isn’t truthful? By the end of the week, a parent or boss might help you or do you a favour. Yes!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are still keen to travel and do anything that will broaden your horizons. You’re full of bright, unusual ideas, which means you might travel impulsively. Others will experience sudden changes related to the media, publishing opportunities or something to do with medicine or the law. Hopefully, whatever occurs will benefit you. The area where you have to be astute and wary is anything to do with financial matters with others. This includes inheritances, debt, taxes and insurance disputes. Be cautious in these dealings. Be sure to do your due diligence and check things out because things are not as they appear. Plan on opportunities to travel or do something different and exciting by the end of the week. (“I barely had time to pack my bag.”)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re percolating with ideas about financial negotiations, shared property or anything that you hold jointly with someone else. (Taxes, debt and insurance issues.) At a deeper level, you might have an epiphany about an inner psychological truth. For example, you might see a new way to be a better person. Or you might have a profound conversation with someone? Ironically, relations with those who are closest to you are subject to confusion and disappointment. You might feel let down by someone. You expected more of them. But did they know this? Did you communicate your expectations to them? Keep your pockets open at the end of the week when money and favours will come your way. Yippee!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You need more sleep this week. (This need will end next week when the Sun changes signs.) This week, someone close to you might say or do something that surprises you. Or they might introduce you to someone who is different or unusual. Meanwhile, be careful about relations with work colleagues as well as people related to your health or your dealings with your pet because there will likely be a misunderstanding and disappointment. Knowing this, strive to be clear when talking to others. Happily, your encounters with other will be warm and friendly by the end of the week. Enjoy fun time with partners and close friends!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are still in work mode, which means you’re getting a lot done simply because you are motivated. (Motivation is everything.) This week you can expect some work-related surprises. You might have some genius-like ideas? Or a coworker might surprise you in some way? Or you might meet a new coworker or a new method of doing something? Surprise work-related travel might happen. Could be anything! Meanwhile, romance might disappoint some of you. You might want to ask yourself if you had unrealistic expectations about someone? By the end of the week, you’re pleased with your health or your work or something to do with a pet. Good time to tackle chores.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Parents must be extra vigilant this week because this is a mildly accident-prone week for your kids. Keep this in mind. Meanwhile, surprise invitations to social events or exciting diversions might suddenly pop up? Admittedly, social plans might be suddenly cancelled or delayed because anything to do with your social scene, romance, the arts and dealing with your kids is subject to sudden changes. Meanwhile, something at home might disappoint you. Perhaps you expected more from a family member? You might feel let down. One thing is certain: you want to entertain, and the perfect time will be this weekend, when vibes are sunny and friendly! Creative projects are favoured then, as well.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sophie Vergara (1972) shares your birthday today. Like your symbol the crab, you appear confident and relatively tough on the outside when in fact, you are sensitive on the inside. Because of this sensitivity, you will work hard to establish security for yourself and loved ones. This year it’s important to take time to learn and study something new. You might also teach and share this knowledge.
