Thank Goddess It’s Friday! What A Week!

Days Of The Week Comments  Hello dear friends! I don’t know where my brain is today. I have known all morning today is Friday. Then I went to put the graphic up here, I was going to put up a Thursday graphic. I had to check the little calendar in the corner of my computer to make sure it was Friday! I’m I nuts or what? This is what I get for staying up too late. I have a blog that I use strictly for graphics, so I pulled it up. I started browsing through the templates and found one I loved. Well I put it on the blog. I got all the graphics up and the widgets laid out. Then I decided, “Yes, I am going to change the graphics on the main blog!” Now keep in mind, this is at 3:30 a.m. I come over here and start to change things around. Then in the middle of changing things here, it hit me. This new template has all the characteristics as this one. The only difference is the title is in a small fancy banner but everything else is the same. I played with this new template for about 1 1/2 hours. Now in twenty minutes I found out the two are basically the same and I have wasted the night. If I could have kicked my own butt, I would have. I tried to get Kiki (Pom pup) to bite me with no luck. *Note to self: Get a dog big enough to reach rump and willing to bite in extreme situations of stupidity!*  

 

Have a great weekend, my luvs!

SPELL TO KEEP BEAUTY FROM FADING

When all your face appears most fair, When the comets and meteors gild your hair,  and in your eyes the moon and sun Contest, surrender, and burn as one, when ivory Venus smoothes your brow, And Mars recurves your lips’ red bow,  make haste to utter this binding verse And hold the stars on their kindest course…
“Figure of fire,
That shifts and changes,
Planets that move
By heaven’s hinge,
Be siged and fixed
Forever here,
And close my image
Within thy sphere”
Measure a yard of golden string Loose from your fingers let it swing,
Then tie it in thirteen sturdy knots, Hide it among your scents and pots.

HaPpY fRiDaY! Ya’ll Ready For The Weekend!

Miscellaneous New Year Comments 

The way things look, I think I have been celebrating to early, lol! Just kidding, I don’t drink. I take too much medication for my back. If I did drink I would overdose my goofy butt! I have nothing against drinking at all. In fact when I was younger, I drank. I never acquired a taste for beer though. I can’t understand why it is so popular. I can think of it now and it make me sick at my stomach. Hubby always want a “cold one” after he mows the grass. He found out that the beer does nothing for rehydrating him. I believe I read somewhere that it actually makes it worse.

 

 I am sorry. I know you didn’t stop by to read my thoughts on beer. It is just that time of the year. If you have holiday parties to go to this weekend, please be careful. I believe these days the way the Police are and taking a chance on meeting a drunk driver, it is much safer to stay home.  But anyway, just be careful, I want to see you back here the next day!

SPELL TO BRING LOVE

Note: This spell is not intended to be used on someone. It is a general spell to be sent out to the universe, so you can find your mate.

Preparations:

Create an oil consisting of 1/8 cup unscented oil (safflower or sunflower), mixed with enough rose geranium and lavender to create a pleasant scent. Blend these in a clear glass jar.

Empower the oil to the cause of finding love. Rub well onto a Pink candle.

The Ritual:

To empower the oil, focus on the jar, and think of the feelings of love. Contentment, commitment, joy, etc. Allow this love energy to flow into the oil. At a quiet moment, when you know you will be around long enough for the candle to burn fully, say the following prayer, and light the candle:

Oh Lady who loves us,
Oh Lord who loves us well,
Please bring my true love to me,
the one of whom my dreams do tell.
Bright Lady of the Heavens,
Strong Lord of the Earth,
Please aid me in finding this love.
Let this harm none, let none be coerced.

A SPELL TO HELP LIFT HARD FEELINGS AND HEAL EMOTIONAL RIFTS

Item needed: 1 Quartz crystal
Find a nice quiet place where you can lay down, place the quartz crystal on you third eye and say:
“I call upon Gula, great goddess of Healing,
Guide the help to direct any bad feelings,
See this dark specters reeling.
By the grace of your power I ask you to heal them.
Teach each to feel what the other feels,
By the power of three, I wish it to be.”
If you focus on one person the spell will affect that person a little better than just doing in general.

Pick the stones you feel most comfortable with. They can be used in spell work
or carried on your person. I have found either way effective. You don’t need to
be rich and to buy emeralds, rubies or sapphires to use in spell work. You don’t
need to have the most expensive or largest stones to work with; in fact the
ruby, emerald and sapphire I work with are not polished or cut. I think the most
I paid for them was a few dollars each. They all work wonderfully! One more
stone I use regularly is rose quartz. It is terrific for healing, finding love
and keeping the peace (all three of my children have one). It is a good stone
for finding comfort and peace of mind. I keep extra rose quartz on hand to give
to friends and family when they are in need.

CRYSTAL WANDS – The Making & Using

CRYSTAL WANDS

Crystal Wands are one of the most powerful forms of ‘light tools’ presently known to mankind.

The wand itself consists of a hollow copper tube of about one foot in length. The copper tube should be around three-quarters of an inch in diameter.

A quartz crystal of at least three inches in length and around three-quarter of an inch wide, clear and with reasonably unchipped facets, should be affixed to one end of the copper tube. At the other end of the copper tube is either a copper cap or another quartz crystal.

Either single – or double terminated quartz crystals may be used. The whole copper tube is insulated by a leather strip wound completely around the wand.

The very best way to discover exactly how a crystal wand functions – and its tremendous potentialities as an ‘energizer’ – is to make one for yourself. By
constructing your very own crystal wand you will soon find that it then becomes much easier to merge your own vibrations with that of your wand………

To make your own personal crystal wand first take your hollow copper tube and, with a hacksaw, cut two lengthwise strips at one end of the tube, about three inches deep. Then, with a pair of pliers, bend the sides outwards so as to allow your quartz crystal to slide into place.

Before doing so, however, you must glue the sides of your quartz crystal and then gently slide the crystal into its place within the copper tube. You must now bend the sides back into place and ensure that at least one inch of your crystal protrudes at the end.

At the other end of the copper tube, either glue the copper cap into position or affix another quartz crystal.

Finally, take your leather strip (any color will do) which needs to be about three feet in length and place a small amount of glue at intervals along one side. Then tightly wrap the leather, in spiral fashion, around the copper
tubing. Your crystal wand is now ready to be used!

When your crystal wand is lying by itself without you holding it, it is in what I would describe as the ‘passive’ mode but as soon as you pick up your crystal wand it becomes operational and is in an ‘active’ mode.

Crystal wands are extremely simple to operate. All that you need to do is to pick up your wand, focus the crystalline energy by visualizing a blue/white
light of energy radiating from the apex of the quartz crystal in your wand, and you have now created your own powerful ray of energy and power.

You must, however, be very sure that you use your new ‘tool’ and crystal friend very wisely!

At my very first crystal healing workshop, when I had only just constructed my very first crystal wand, I was holding my wand in my right hand whilst I was
talking and, without thinking, I must have directed the wand at the third eye chakra of one of the students present.

With a ‘yell’ the student nearly toppled back on his chair. Apparently he had experienced a tremendous burst of energy and power emanating from my wand which
had almost thrown him back into his seat!

It is therefore very important that you are extremely careful where you point your crystal wand when you are holding it.

For ordinary crystal healing purposes I use my wand in much the same way as if I were using a normal quartz crystal. I take my wand in my right hand and I move
the wand around the perimeter of the patient’s body, in a clock-wise direction – for a few moments.

I then focus the crystalline energies of my wand through the apex of the quartz crystal and direct these energies into the body of the person whom I am treating. I find that about fifteen minutes is sufficient at any one treatment session.

After directing the crystal healing energy into the patient I finish the treatment session by once again moving the wand around the perimeter of the patient’s body, again in a clock-wise direction, for a few moments.

Using this technique the patient’s body becomes surrounded by a ‘sea’ of crystalline energy and this energy penetrates every fiber of the patient’s inner and outer being; and, in most cases, deep, lasting, healing occurs.

As soon as I pick up my crystal wand I can feel the whole wand begin to vibrate and pulsate. My hands start to tingle and I feel alive with crystalline energy and power. I channel my own healing energies into the wand which then becomes even more powerful and thus by the time the healing rays are projected through the quartz crystal at the end of the wand I can sense that I have managed to create a wonderful source of power and energy.

I am often asked at my workshops and seminars why it is necessary to insulate the wand with leather. Insulation is essential for your own personal protection as I have found out myself from painful experience.

When you are working with your crystal wand for any length of time a great many subatomic particles accumulate within the copper tube and, on occasions, if you were to touch the actual copper you may receive an electrical type shock. This has happened to me on more than one occasion in my experimental work. So be
warned!

The results that you are able to obtain by using a crystal wand depend very much upon your own ability in being able to attune yourself at a high enough level with all the vibrational energies at your disposal. Like everything else in our earthly life, the more you practice, the more you achieve!

As your energies become stronger, your wand will grow more potent too! Crystal wands never ever breakdown, never need an external power source (eg batteries or
electricity) and may be used twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

The possibilities are unlimited. Experiment with your crystal wand. Stretch your imagination and inventiveness beyond their normal range. Allow yourself to become at one with your crystal wand. Establish a complete rapport and empathy with it.

Crystal wands may, from time to time, be used for purposes other than for healing. For example, one evening I had to give a talk at a town some 50 miles
from where I live. I was running late!! I had been unavoidably delayed and I knew that time was short. I came off the motorway and found myself engulfed in
traffic being delayed by a continuous stream of red traffic lights.

By a strange coincidence my crystal wand was lying on the front passenger seat next to me. Without really thinking about what I was doing I idly picked the wand up with my left hand and focused it on the next red traffic light that I came across. It turned to green immediately!

And so it went on. Every red traffic light, virtually instantaneously, turned to green as soon as I directed the crystal wand in its direction. I thus managed to
arrive at my meeting dead on time. Strange, but true!

Why not construct your very own crystal wand now – and discover for yourself all that it can do?

Wishing You A Very Relaxed & Blessed Sunday, dear friends!

WITCH’S HEALING CANDLE SPELL

To help speed a recovery from illness, write the sick person’s name upon a white human-shaped
candle of the appropriate gender. As you anoint it with three drops of myrrh or mint oil, visualize
healing energy in the form of white light flowing from your hands into the candle and say:
In the divine name of the Goddess
Who breathes life into us all
I consecrate and charge this candle
As a magical tool for healing.
Place the candle on top of a photograph of the sick person and then light the wick.
As the candle burns down, concentrate upon the person in the photograph, willing him
or her to be well again, and chant the following incantation:
Magic mend and candle burn,
Sickness end; good health return.

 

SACHET FOR HEALING

2 parts Cinnamon 2 parts Sandalwood 1 part Rose petals
1 part Cayenne 1 part Ginger 1 part Rue
Mix and tie in a blue or purple cloth. Anoint with Eucalyptus oil and wear or place near bed at night.
Some herbs that are medicinally good for pain relief and magically good for healing that
you might add into the sachet would be Chamomile, White Willow bark, and Wood Betony.

Prosperity and Luck Spell

Prosperity and Luck Spell

Tools:
A Gold Candle
A piece of Jade (or other lucky stone)

Light the Gold Candle. Focus on the changes you would like to happen. Hold the stone in your hand and focus those changes “into” the stone. Visualize your energy combining with the stone and say these words:

“Changing energies,
Universal luck,

Visualize the release of energy to the universe. Extinguish the candle. Keep the stone with you as a reminder to be alert for new opportunity or as in the words of Lucille Ball:
“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work — and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.”

Daily Feng Shui Tip for November 22

At a time of year when the tune ‘Over the River and Through the Woods to Grandmother’s House We Go’ runs through everyone’s head as they scramble off to distant destinations, today’s ‘Go For A Ride Day’ energies couldn’t be more apropos. So let’s address an automobile agenda before stuffing that last piece of luggage into an already overcrowded trunk, and look at ways of making driving a far more pleasant experience than you might think. First, never leave clutter in the car. Treat this traveling space as you would your own home, and realize that clutter in the car contributes to chaos on the road. It’s essential that the center of the vehicle remain clean and clear, as this space relates to the health of driver and passengers, reason enough to pull over the minivan and pull out the Mini-Vac! These next middle-of-the-car energies will bring your driving the middle of the road to a smooth and flowing agenda. Add ten drops of lemon essential oil to an atomizer bottle filled with spring or distilled water and spritz the inside of the car. This will help cleanse the more obvious odors while also bringing a bright, sunny scent to your driving experience. Finally, hanging a small and round faceted quartz crystal on nine or 18 inches of red string from the rearview mirror will pump protective energies, and make sure that everyone arrives at Grandmother’s house safe and sound and ready for a big slice of her homemade apple pie!

By Ellen Whitehurst for Astrology.com

Gemstone of the Day for November 17th is Aragonite

Aragonite

Named after the Spanish village, Molina de Aragon, were it was first identified, aragonite has the same chemical composition as calcite, but with a different crystal structure that makes it harder and heavier. This striking crystal conjures up all manner of associations: a futuristic alien space city;an intrusion from an alternate reality; or the pristine expansion of order into space. Its ability to hold the imaginative mind in a form of creative trance makes aragonite a useful crystal for lateral thinking.

Identification and Care

  • Crystals form long intergrown six-sided prisms around a common centre. These clusters are called “sputniks.”
  • Tumbled stones often resemble solidified honey.
  • Varieties of aragonite include iron flower, a fine dendritic aggregate; peastone, a mass of pea-sized lumps in a matrix; and sprudelstein, which has different coloured bands like agate.

Magick

  • Pulls disparate elements together
  • Provides a safe base from which to explore new possibilities.

It’s Back To Work! Have A Very Fantastic Day, dear Friends!

Friday, the day of Venus, i associated with love and all forms of love magick (especially to attract love. Venus is also invoked for beauty, the arts, crafts, relationships, friendships, blossoming sexuality, the acquisition of beautiful possessions, and the slow but growth of prosperity (Venus rules all matters of growth).  Like the moon, she can be invoked for horticulture, the environment, fertility and women’s health matters. Since she can be associated with excessive nd unwise love affairs, her spells can paradoxically be used to reduce the influence of destructive lovers and possessiveness.

Methods of Cleansing

As with any method of cleansing, intention is the key–before you begin, you need to be focused on the process of cleansing. So as you cleanse your crystal, think about what you are doing and how this action is releasing unwanted energies.

BRUSHING:  A soft brush such as a makeup brush or a paint brush is good for removing dust that can build up on surface and delicate crevices of the stone.

PHYSICAL CLEANSING:  A little mild detergent mixed with water in a bowl, followed by a thorough rinse in clear water, will make crystals sparkle. (Don’t use water if they are water-soluble crystals!)

RUNNING WATER:  Hold your crystal under running water for a few minutes. It may need longer if it’s been working hard or hasn’t been cleansed for a long time. If you feel that it needs a lot of time, place the crystal in a bowl of water in your sink and let the water run into the bowl for as long as necessary.

MOONLIGHT:  Leave the crystal in moonlight, especially in a full moon, or leave it out during a new moon.

BURNING INCENSE OR SMUDGE STICK:  The smoke from frankincense, sandalwood, and sage is cleansing. You can burn either incense or a smudge stick (A small bunch of dried herbs burned during Native American cleansing rituals.

EARTH:  Bury the crystal in the earth–when you unearth it a week or more later, it will be born anew. Different traditions round the world apply this technique in varying ways. One method is to bury it during a Full Moon and unearth it on a New Moon.

CRYSTALLINE ENERGIES:  Place the crystal on an amethyst bed, on a quartz cluster, or inside a geode and allow the crystalline energies to cleanse and clear it. A large amethyst bed can be like a vacation for your crystals.

The question of how long you should leave them is a little open-ended. Crystals are like people–how long do you usually need to refresh and revitalize yourself? To know when a crystal is ready to work again, use your intuition–also, look for brightness and color returning to the crystal, which should no longer feel “clammy.” Once you are used to working with crystals, you will find it easy to know when they are ready to go back to work.

SOUNDS:  Chanting, drumming, or playing Tibetan bells or cymbals can clear unhelpful vibrations.

SUNLIGHT:  You can cleanse your crystal by leaving it in sunlight and also dry your crystals in the sun after washing them (Caution: Quartz crystals, especially crystal balls, will focus the sun’s rays and so can be a fire risk take appropriate precautions.)

BREATH, LIGHT OR REIKI:  Breathing over your crystal helps to cleanse it –focus your mind, heart, and being through your breath, connecting your inner being to the outside. Reiki an also be practiced on crystals, and a meditation technique involving a visualization of light can be used, too. Still your mind and picture a bright light flowing from your brow chakra to the crystal in your hand, washing over it then filling the crystal. When it completely glows with light, slowly bring your focus away from the crystal and back to our surroundings.

Elemental Shape-Shifting (Blood/Harvest Moon)

Elemental Shape-Shifting

(Blood Moon) 

In this spell, you will use the different elements to help you shift shapes into different animals and magickal beings.

You will need a clear quartz crystal, cedar incense, a green candle and a chalice of water. Begin by staring deep within the crystal. Merge (become one) with it and say:

Elemental powers of earth

Transform and shift within me

So Mote It Be!

 

Light the incense, and merge with the smoke as it glides lightly through the air, while you say:


Elemental powers of air

Transform and shift within me

So Mote It Be!

 

Light the candle and merge into the flame as you say:

Elemental powers of fire

Transform and shift within me

So Mote It Be!

 

Stare deep within the chalice of water. Merge with it and say:

Elemental powers of water

Transform and shift within me

So Mote It Be!

 

Lie back and meditate as the power of the elements shifts you into different animals. You become a bear emerging from its cave, a bird spreading its wings on the wind, a dragon breathing fire out of its nostrils, and a water sprite frolicking in the mist of a waterfall.

Happy Monday, my dear, wonderful, fantastic friends!

And you are going what the heck does she want? Nothing! I just want to thank you for having patience with me while I redo the blog. I am not finished yet but I must get back to the work that brings you here each day. I will take break at night and work on it some. I can give you an idea of what to expect though. The new blog will still have the same look. I looked and looked for a new huge pic for the top and couldn’t find a thing I liked. Unfortunately, I am a perfectionist. Right now I am not happy with the way the info section looks on the front. But it will have to do till I get through with the dailys. Ok, for the new layout, there are going to be two columns down the side, with a wide section in the middle. One section is going to contain a whole lot of new stuff. There is going to be “The Goddess/God of the Month, Herb of the Month, Crystal of the Month & Saint of the Month.” Each will have a pic and info to go with it. Also I searched till four o’clock this morning and I finally found a moonphase for us. Right now it is sitting down at the bottom of the regular items already on here. But I think it is going to be exciting and it is something I have wanted to do for a while. And more than likely we will be having Goddesses, Herbs, Crystals and the such for just a half a month and then I will change them. I don’t want you to get bored. Well got to run and get busy. Thank you again for your patience with me.

Love ya,

Lady A
