Libra yesterday love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

You don’t need to go to considerable lengths to impress a loved one or potential partner – especially in a material sense. What they’d probably like to see is you taking a matter as seriously as they do. If a financial angle exists with this, then offer suggestions about how money needn’t play an integral part in the fun you can create and enjoy together. Identifying ways to cut back on unnecessary expenses could bring a pleasing result, too.

Virgo Daily Love Horoscope

Virgo LoveVirgo today’s love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

What has been vague or on a shaky footing with matters of the heart could come under scrutiny as you feel a stronger need for stability and certainty in your emotional life.

Virgo tomorrow love horoscope:

Thursday 13th of June 2019

As intriguing or possibly thrilling as a plan or adventure you’re considering embarking upon with a loved one may be, you might need to give thought to covering more bases than you anticipated.

Virgo yesterday love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Might overreacting or responding overly sensitively to a certain situation add to drama or tension unnecessarily?

Leo Daily Love Horoscope

Leo LoveLeo today’s love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

You could be aware of how deep feelings and passions could replace uncertainty in your emotional world or one special connection now.

Leo tomorrow love horoscope:

Thursday 13th of June 2019

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Cancer Daily Love Horoscope

Cancer LoveCancer today’s love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

If you or your paramour have struggled to find a work life/love life balance recently, then this could be an issue that might need to become tenser briefly before action can be taken to restore balance.

You and a loved one can help each other to adopt more of a ‘work to live’ rather than ‘live to work’ attitude now.

Cancer tomorrow love horoscope:

Thursday 13th of June 2019

You might regard a commitment made to a loved one or someone special as open-ended, but they could see it as a cast-iron promise made. It might be necessary for you to treat this as a priority because the object of your affections could hold you to your word. If rearranging your diary or schedule is necessary to accommodate this obligation, then you may need to be creative and flexible with doing so.

Cancer yesterday love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Don’t be fearful or suspicious of change emerging in your emotional world or a close relationship. What’s shifting or altering has likely needed to do so for some time and can help free you from an aspect of the past or something that has been deeply entrenched in a comfort zone for too long. This could bring balance to a love connection that you’ve been unable to achieve on your own -and could also be a change you’re likely to welcome.

Gemini Daily Love Horoscope

Gemini LoveGemini today’s love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

If you’re a single Gemini, then you could be increasingly aware of how delightful romantic opportunities probably won’t arrive out of the blue or on their own. If you’re to enjoy a deeper level of romantic fulfillment, then you may need to be more willing to make yourself available and possibly take someone up on their offer of assistance or support. Regardless of your relationship status, progress with matters of the heart relies on coming from you now.

Gemini tomorrow love horoscope:

Thursday 13th of June 2019

If you feel as if a fire has been lit within you or something has boosted your mojo wonderfully, then this could be something you want to share with a loved one or potential partner. Magic could be synchronizing wonderfully between you and a certain person. Whether single or attached, the road ahead to a deeper level of passionate fulfillment could be straighter and clearer than it has appeared for some time.

Gemini yesterday love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Romantic conversations or exchanges could be prone to misinterpretation, and this might be due to skimming the surface of certain topics rather than engaging in open and honest exchanges. The more upfront you’re willing to be, the more likely it will be that a lover or potential partner will reciprocate. Removing any assumptions that might exist on both sides by agreeing to deal only with facts will ensure any discussions remain calm and manageable.

Taurus Daily Love Horoscope

Taurus LoveTaurus today’s love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Certain tedious romantic or relationship routines could drain your energy and enthusiasm, but your vision of your love life future is becoming stronger and deserves as much faith and effort as you can give it. Mundane matters will always need attention, but you’re able to draw deeper levels of motivation and inspiration from what’s occurring with affairs of the heart now. Whether single or attached, this is a time to be experimental, brave, and aim high!

Taurus tomorrow love horoscope:

Thursday 13th of June 2019

Turbulence or disruption in your emotional world or within a special connection could take the form of a loved one not showing you respect you deserve or making you feel unappreciated. This could feel more frustrating or confusing if you know that you’ve applied plenty of diligence to keep things harmonious and buoyant between you. Chances are, this removes you from any fault, so make sure you don’t create reasons to blame yourself or believe an apology must come from you. Neither likely applies.

Taurus yesterday love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Putting the spark back into a relationship could be surprisingly easily with a bit more two-way willingness to communicate. You may have grown weary with a routine a loved one believed to be necessary and could discover scope exists to inject spontaneity where it’s needed. Something you and your paramour regard as tiresome can become fun once again if you put your heads together to share ideas about what constitutes ‘fun.’

Aries Daily Love Horoscope

Aries LoveAries today’s love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Your passionate intensity can be powerfully sexy but could require you to show a bit of restraint, especially as you could be at risk of coming on too strong or releasing an avalanche of emotions someone’s direction. As much as what you might feel toward a certain person is growing in intensity, romantic or relationship progress relies on your ability to control it.

Aries tomorrow love horoscope:

Thursday 13th of June 2019

Be honest about your reasons regarding the lengths you’re prepared to go to impress a loved one or potential partner at this time. Demonstrating or proving love with a grand material gesture could be far removed from what a loved one wants or expects. With imagination and a modicum of creativity, you could convey what’s on your mind or in your heart in ways that are much more practical, memorable, and pleasurable.

Aries yesterday love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

You might see a loved one’s keenness for you to handle or manage something in your relationship as one-sided. Rather than make your displeasure or concerns known negatively, you can increase your paramour’s input and assistance by encouraging a more balanced division of effort. It might be an issue surrounding their confidence that needs to be addressed and overcome first.

Aquarius Daily Love Horoscope

Aquarius LoveAquarius today’s love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Your sense of fun and adventure could be ignited, and as keen as you may be to throw caution to the wind and whisk a loved one away somewhere or embark on a physical or mental journey, a restriction could create a hurdle with plans made now. You might not be able to overcome this hampering influence immediately, but connecting with your ability to improvise can create a very pleasing alternative.

Aquarius tomorrow love horoscope:

Thursday 13th of June 2019

If you feel extra-sentimental at this time, then this can be a positive experience rather than one that causes you to feel melancholy. It could be by reconnecting with memories or lessons of love learned in the past that can bring a sense of stability or grounding that helps you feel more optimistic about both the present and the future. Once this happens, it’s time to start looking forward once again

Aquarius yesterday love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

It’s possible something connected with your emotional world or a love relationship could benefit from a reality check. You may be aware of momentum increasing in a manageable and potentially delightful way, and a wave of optimism and enthusiasm could soon replace any sense of pessimism. However, you’re encouraged to slow down briefly to ensure you have an accurate understanding of what’s shifting. What’s unfolding now could need both of you to steer it.

Daily Horoscope June 13th

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because something unexpected could impact banking, inheritances, shared property or the wealth of your partner – stay on top of things. Don’t be caught napping. Meanwhile, this interruption could be (or not) related to some kind of confusion going on at home or within the family. Oy!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might do something that disrupts your relationship with a partner or close friend or vice versa, they might do something from your point of view. They might want more freedom in the relationship? Meanwhile, you are a bit uncertain about how much you should assert yourself today. Should you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your work routine will be interrupted today. For some of you however, this could mean an interruption that is related to your pet. Whatever the case, stay on top of things. If you feel confused about something financially or something that you own – do nothing. Don’t act until you’re sure.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Parents should be vigilant about their kids today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans might be delayed or cancelled. Likewise, romance might suffer from a few upsets or surprises, especially if someone wants to redefine the relationship. (Whaaat?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be patient with family members today, especially a female relative, because people are excitable today. A family discussion could suddenly balloon into something no one expects. Maybe someone wants to change the rules or how things are done? Steady as she goes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is a potentially accident-prone day for you. It might be a verbal accident or a physical accident. Obviously, if you are alert and mindful, you don’t have to encounter any accident. Stay tuned!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Keep an eye on your money and resources today because something unexpected might impact your assets. You might find money; you might lose money. Protect your possessions against loss, theft or damage. Don’t push issues with bosses today because you’re not entirely sure what you’re doing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is not an ideal day to defend your best interest in disputes about shared property, inheritances and such because you will not be able to put 100% of yourself behind your argument. Wait for another time when you are more confident, focused and ready to stand your ground.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A friend might surprise you today, probably a female. They might say or do something you least expect. Or they might suggest something unusual. Or perhaps you will meet someone new who is different or avant-garde? It’s not a boring day. Don’t fall for convincing words.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t be defiant or rebellious when talking to bosses, parents, VIPs or the police today, which you might be tempted to do. This will not be in your best interests. Remember your objective: what you want is whatever is in your own best interests. Therefore, bite your tongue before you responding.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Travel plans might change today. This is also a mildly, accident-prone day for you so be smart and stay mindful and alert. Meanwhile, don’t get caught up in arguments about politics, religion and racial issues because they will get out of hand. Sheesh!

Pisces Daily Love Horoscope

Pisces LovePisces today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Single Pisceans could discover help or input is available from someone keen to assist with matchmaking. Rather than reject any offer of assistance, allow someone who wants to delight in seeing you happy with their efforts to surprise you. It’s also possible attached Pisceans may want to stay close to home to enjoy romantic and intimate pleasures on offer. Home is where the heart and an array of sensual experiences can be found now.

Pisces tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Something that becomes more demanding or possibly time-consuming on your part could have a knock-on effect to affairs of the heart or a special relationship. It might be something you see as manageable, but a loved one or someone sees differently. If circumstances dictate that your focus may need to shift elsewhere briefly, then there are benefits to making this clear. What you do or undertake now, you do with someone’s best interests in mind, and that’s what matters.

Pisces yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

Assessing your current love life circumstances or those surrounding a special relationship at face value probably only reveals half the story. Your intuition is your best guide to determine the reality of a particular situation. By looking beyond what’s obvious within a romantic or relationship scenario, you can avoid offering the most obvious response. By listening to your intuition and connecting with your imagination, you won’t struggle to know precisely what to say or do to restore harmony where it’s needed.

Capricorn Daily Love Horoscope

Capricorn LoveCapricorn today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

It could be easy to see the object of your affections as obstructive or going out of their way to be negative or gloomy. However, it’s also possible you’re focused intently on something that matters to you and aren’t considering the reasons behind a loved one’s attitude or behavior. You might need to make more of an effort to see a shared situation realistically. Encouraging the one you love to offer their input could be a good place to start.

Capricorn tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

There’s no time like the present to put a romantic or relationship plan into action, and if there’s something you’ve been holding back from taking the initiative with in your emotional world or a close relationship, then seize a chance now to do so. What gets put in place at this time has a strong connection with the future, and that’s where your focus appears to be. If your heart encourages you to make a move or long-term decision, then step forward confidently.

Capricorn yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

A warning bell could sound in your mind when you find yourself dealing with a romantic relationship scenario that causes your cautiousness levels to escalate. Although in some ways, the right thing to do would involve dealing with whatever transpires and resolving it instantly, you could be inclined to detach yourself briefly from whatever demands attention. You’re dealing with a brief obstacle or annoyance, and choosing not to rise to certain bait could be a wise move.

Sagittarius Daily Love Horoscope

Sagittarius LoveSagittarius today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Something connected to your emotional world or love life could become complex due to an assumption being accepted as a fact. What may have started as solid and undeniable could develop into something speculative, and an open discussion with a loved one or potential partner may be needed to bring the truth back into the equation.

Sagittarius tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

There are benefits to knowing when enough has been said to the object of your affections – and knowing as well when to let what has been said be absorbed and understood. Your keenness to make a point could involve you going to unnecessary and excessive lengths to do so. Your ability to be as good at listening as you are talking won’t be unappreciated by someone close now.

Sagittarius yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

Embracing the spirit of partnership or collaboration in your emotional world or within a love relationship can bring delightful benefits. Your independent streak could be strong most of the time, but you may be willing to accept the offer of a loved one’s input or support in ways that you might not normally do. Two heads or two pairs of hands could make lighter work of something you planned to tackle solo. Try to see the benefits of accepting help when it’s offered.

Scorpio Daily Love Horoscope

Scorpio LoveScorpio today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

You might be aware of how you see a proverbial glass as half full while a loved one or someone close is determined to see it as half empty. The shift in their attitude you’d like to see will need to come from them, and you may need to make clear the limits that exist regarding how willing you are to be subjected to their negative thinking. Encouraging an attitude of gratitude on both sides can banish pessimism before it becomes too deep-rooted.

Scorpio tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

A door that may have been shut in your emotional world for some time could reopen now or shortly. As an obstacle to romantic or relationship progress becomes removed, it’s possible a new level of collaboration with a loved one holds more promise or potential than you thought it did. Your relationship with a special individual might never be the same again – but the new era commencing promises that this will be for all the right reasons!

Scorpio yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

You’re helped to adopt a more light-hearted attitude towards affairs of the heart at this time. This could encourage you to be more willing to accept that whatever presents itself in your emotional world, you’ll deal or cope with it successfully. This could also be a time when you’re less concerned about taking a romantic or relationship risk – and the urge to do something spontaneous or exciting could be too difficult to ignore.

Libra Daily Love Horoscope

Libra LoveLibra today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

You don’t need to go to considerable lengths to impress a loved one or potential partner – especially in a material sense. What they’d probably like to see is you taking a matter as seriously as they do. If a financial angle exists with this, then offer suggestions about how money needn’t play an integral part in the fun you can create and enjoy together. Identifying ways to cut back on unnecessary expenses could bring a pleasing result, too.

Libra tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Thinking bigger and bolder about what you want to achieve and who you want at your side can boost levels of excitement and inspiration in your emotional world or one special connection. You’re encouraged to broaden your horizons and if you feel inspired to learn, explore or discover, then so too will a loved one or close companion. Embarking upon a learning or mind-broadening experience will be better if done together rather than solo.

Libra yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

A sense of responsibility or obligation you have given much time and attention to in other areas of your world could become less of a priority as you accept the need to focus on what or who makes your heart beat faster. However, being just as productive with matters of the heart requires you to be less methodical and more spontaneous. If you need to allow a bit of time to adjust to whatever has shifted slightly and recently in your romantic circumstances, then that could be time well spent.

Virgo Daily Love Horoscope

Virgo LoveVirgo today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Might overreacting or responding overly sensitively to a certain situation add to drama or tension unnecessarily? You could believe you’re reacting or responding appropriately but taking a step back and being honest about where you may be making assumptions can reveal reasons to feel appreciative or reassured, not defensive. Focus solely on facts, and you’ll find them.

Virgo tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

What has been vague or on a shaky footing with matters of the heart could come under scrutiny as you feel a stronger need for stability and certainty in your emotional life. This might be the result of starting to ‘think bigger’ about what you want from a love relationship and how what’s ill-defined can benefit from becoming more certain. For some Virgos, it may be time for a relationship to deepen or move to a delightfully new level.

Virgo yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

There could be something fascinating and intriguing about the glimpse you receive into your love life future at this time. It’s also important that you don’t overlook or underestimate the wisdom gained during recent months that is integral to making an accurate assessment of your current love life circumstances. As one romantic or relationship goal becomes more vivid and attainable, you’ll be able to give it more of your undivided attention to make it real.

Leo Daily Love Horoscope

Leo LoveLeo today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Your time and focus could be diverted from your love life or one special connection, and a loved one will likely make it clear if they feel you’re taking on too many responsibilities in other areas. If this involves you pursuing a certain aspiration or group effort outside the sphere of your connection, then you may need to be realistic about the demands on your time this will require.

Leo tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

You could be aware of how deep feelings and passions could replace uncertainty in your emotional world or one special connection now. If you’re a single Leo wishing you shared a deep bond, then you could have options that rely on removing yourself from usual or familiar surroundings. Whether single or attached, travel or exploring new places can boost your romantic prospects wonderfully.

Leo yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

You could feel more ambitious regarding affairs of the heart or one special connection but any grand plans that your mind conjurers will need a clearly-defined action plan to support them. Fortunately, there are aspects of your love life’s future that appear clear to you. Once you prioritize whatever vision or visions inspire you the most, then you’ll be better placed to take the practical steps needed to turn them into something real.

Cancer Daily Love Horoscope

Cancer LoveCancer today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Don’t be fearful or suspicious of change emerging in your emotional world or a close relationship. What’s shifting or altering has likely needed to do so for some time and can help free you from an aspect of the past or something that has been deeply entrenched in a comfort zone for too long. This could bring balance to a love connection that you’ve been unable to achieve on your own -and could also be a change you’re likely to welcome.

Cancer tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

If you or your paramour have struggled to find a work life/love life balance recently, then this could be an issue that might need to become tenser briefly before action can be taken to restore balance. Career responsibilities can’t be shirked but remember what all work and no play did to someone named Jack. You and a loved one can help each other to adopt more of a ‘work to live’ rather than ‘live to work’ attitude now.

Cancer yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

Trying to persuade a loved one or potential partner to accept your point of view could be trickier than you believed it would be. You could feel strongly about a particular matter and discover that the object of your affections feels similarly about their viewpoint. There are far more benefits than disbenefits to bringing this matter in the open. It may be a discussion that must continue at another time, but at least it has commenced authentically and transparently from the outset.

Gemini Daily Love Horoscope

Gemini LoveGemini today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Romantic conversations or exchanges could be prone to misinterpretation, and this might be due to skimming the surface of certain topics rather than engaging in open and honest exchanges. The more upfront you’re willing to be, the more likely it will be that a lover or potential partner will reciprocate. Removing any assumptions that might exist on both sides by agreeing to deal only with facts will ensure any discussions remain calm and manageable.

Gemini tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

If you’re a single Gemini, then you could be increasingly aware of how delightful romantic opportunities probably won’t arrive out of the blue or on their own. If you’re to enjoy a deeper level of romantic fulfillment, then you may need to be more willing to make yourself available and possibly take someone up on their offer of assistance or support. Regardless of your relationship status, progress with matters of the heart relies on coming from you now.

Gemini yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

A harsh fact may need to be faced where your emotional world or one special connection is concerned. However, you have the emotional wherewithal to not only confront what needs to be confronted but also to see a clear way forward to bring the change that your heart has urged you to consider for some time. As one chapter closes, another commences. By seeing a romantic or relationship situation in that way, you’re not harsh; you’re realistic.

Taurus Daily Love Horoscope

Taurus LoveTaurus today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

Putting the spark back into a relationship could be surprisingly easily with a bit more two-way willingness to communicate. You may have grown weary with a routine a loved one believed to be necessary and could discover scope exists to inject spontaneity where it’s needed. Something you and your paramour regard as tiresome can become fun once again if you put your heads together to share ideas about what constitutes ‘fun.’

Taurus tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Certain tedious romantic or relationship routines could drain your energy and enthusiasm, but your vision of your love life future is becoming stronger and deserves as much faith and effort as you can give it. Mundane matters will always need attention, but you’re able to draw deeper levels of motivation and inspiration from what’s occurring with affairs of the heart now. Whether single or attached, this is a time to be experimental, brave, and aim high!

Taurus yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

You have a choice regarding how you react or respond to a romantic relationship challenge that presents itself. Choosing to push aside your signature stubbornness and bringing a helpful level of grounding and practicality to whatever arises is the way to go. The positive spin you put on whatever transpires could also inspire the one you love to do the same. With that mindset working on both sides, this snafu can be nipped in the bud and resolved swiftly.

Aries Daily Love Horoscope

Aries LoveAries today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

You might see a loved one’s keenness for you to handle or manage something in your relationship as one-sided. Rather than make your displeasure or concerns known negatively, you can increase your paramour’s input and assistance by encouraging a more balanced division of effort. It might be an issue surrounding their confidence that needs to be addressed and overcome first.

Aries tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Your passionate intensity can be powerfully sexy but could require you to show a bit of restraint, especially as you could be at risk of coming on too strong or releasing an avalanche of emotions someone’s direction. As much as what you might feel toward a certain person is growing in intensity, romantic or relationship progress relies on your ability to control it.

Aries yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

One intriguing idea or vision could come after another, encouraging you to take more than one bold step in the name of love. However, it’s important to accept that thoughts or fantasies will need to be replaced with action, even if it’s to test the water or viability of one or two cherished love life aspirations. You appear to have grand plans where your emotional world or one special connection is concerned, and there’s only one way to find out how realistic these are. Select the vision that inspires you the most and see what some effort brings.

Aquarius Daily Love Horoscope

Aquarius LoveAquarius today’s love horoscope:

Tuesday 11th of June 2019

It’s possible something connected with your emotional world or a love relationship could benefit from a reality check. You may be aware of momentum increasing in a manageable and potentially delightful way, and a wave of optimism and enthusiasm could soon replace any sense of pessimism. However, you’re encouraged to slow down briefly to ensure you have an accurate understanding of what’s shifting. What’s unfolding now could need both of you to steer it.

Aquarius tomorrow love horoscope:

Wednesday 12th of June 2019

Your sense of fun and adventure could be ignited, and as keen as you may be to throw caution to the wind and whisk a loved one away somewhere or embark on a physical or mental journey, a restriction could create a hurdle with plans made now. You might not be able to overcome this hampering influence immediately, but connecting with your ability to improvise can create a very pleasing alternative.

Aquarius yesterday love horoscope:

Monday 10th of June 2019

It could be the intellectual connection that you form or strengthen with a lover or love interest that enhances a feeling of trust within you. With this in place, you could feel more prepared to make yourself vulnerable by opening up to someone close and possibly in ways you haven’t done previously, regardless of how long you’ve known them. You could be aware of how much you have suppressed or refrained from saying, but starting at the very beginning is, as they say, a very good place to start.

Daily Horoscope

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 11 AM to midnight EDT today (8 AM to 9:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Nevertheless, check the Moon Alert above and you will see that most of this day is also a Moon Alert. (Yikes!) Make no important decisions or big purchases!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today at work, you might have an urge to make things better or introduce reforms but very likely, it will be like herding cats. That’s because most of this day is a Moon Alert, which is a very loosey-goosey situation. Wait until tomorrow.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

During a Moon Alert, one should avoid important decisions and major expenditures; however, it’s easy to be creative and think outside of the box! Today this could favour you by enhancing the arts, socializing and playful activities with kids.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If possible, follow your desire to cocoon at home today because this will feel right. However, avoid disputes about how to do things or improve things, especially this morning because they will simply be heated arguments that amount to nothing.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a fuzzy day. The early morning on the East Coast is not bad; but the Moon Alert begins in BC and lasts all day (8 AM to 9:15 PM PDT.) Oy! Expect delays, shortages and vague confusion. The upside of a Moon Alert is it’s a social time and it encourages creativity.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your Money House but most of this day is a Moon Alert, which means you should postpone important financial decisions and restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment. You can do your homework. But do not act until the Moon Alert is over.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon Alert is in your sign, which is why you may feel adrift and lacking in motivation or direction. It’s minor; however, restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment. Don’t volunteer for anything important. Don’t agree to anything important.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Just tread water today because it’s a fuzzy day. Travel, the media, publishing plus medicine and the law are your focus; nevertheless, be smart and wait until today’s Moon Alert is over before you make any important decisions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others, especially female companions. You might also explore goals for the future with someone. Nevertheless, don’t agree to anything until the Moon Alert is over. Forewarned is forearmed.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a poor day to make a major decision because of the Moon Alert. (However, on the East Coast, things are okay until 11 AM EDT.) The irony is that if you make a poor decision it will be public and you will have egg on your face. Not good! (Ketchup helps.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today is the day to run away and join the circus. Agree to nothing important because of the Moon Alert. However, because you can think outside of the box, you are full of original ideas! Wait until tomorrow to see if you should act on them.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might be focused on taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances and the wealth of your partner or someone else. Discussions about shared responsibilities might also be on the table. Please note: This is a poor day to decide anything or to spend money.

If Your Birthday Is Today

University Professor-clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson (1962) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent, humorous and very quick to change your mood. You are interested in many topics and are very social and friendly. Service to others is your theme this year in terms of responsibilities to family as well as to yourself. Therefore, take care of yourself so that you are a strong resource. Invest in the relationships that you value. Tap into your personal creativity and hobbies.

A Meteor Struck the Moon During Sunday’s Total Eclipse

It may be the first time that such an event was documented from Earth

smithsonian.com

The “super blood wolf moon” that lit up the night sky on Sunday marked the rare convergence of three lunar events: the January full moon, known as a “wolf moon,” appeared especially large because it was positioned unusually close to Earth, hence the “super,” and a total lunar eclipse caused the celestial body to glow a deep crimson—or “blood” red, if you will. While this spectacular phenomena was ongoing, yet another special event occurred: a meteor collided with the moon and sparked a powerful flash that could be seen from Earth.

According to Scientific American’s Nadia Drake, this may mark the first time that a meteor strike has been observed during a total lunar eclipse. On the night of the super blood wolf moon, a Reddit user reported seeing the flash on multiple webcasts, and social media was soon filled with images and input from other people who said they caught the meteor collision. Eventually, Jose Maria Madiedo, an astronomer at Spain’s University of Huelva, confirmed on Twitter that the “impact flash has been recorded by telescopes operating in the framework of MIDAS Survey from Europe.

8 Habits of a White Witch

Lady of the Abyss is has a way to teach us new things from the Spirit Plane by me reposting a post of hers done on November 17, 2018.

 

8 Habits of a White Witch

 

Following our guide to white magic, we’ve written another outlining the habits which every white witch should cultivate. ‘White witchcraft’ is a term traditionally used to describe magic which is performed for good and unselfish purposes – people of any colour can be white witches, and even though we use the term “she” in this article, men can be white witches too!

 

1 – A White Witch Respects Nature Nature is an important source of inspiration and wisdom for witches, and most Wiccans recognise that the Divine is present all around them in nature. This is why everything that exists in nature – from plants to animals, to rocks and elements – is regarded as sacred and treated with respect.

But what does this mean for a modern White Witch who’s trying to find her way through the jungle of big city life? It means developing habits that protect the environment, such as recycling, buying fairtrade and eco-friendly produce, choosing to eat organic food that’s free from pesticides, and other activities that help to renew and restore nature.

 

2 – A White Witch Casts White Magic Spells The Wiccan Rede states “An it harm none, do what ye will.” The White Witch is aware of this when preparing her potions or casting magick spells. She makes it her best practice to observe this law. She sees her magic as a way to serve good and selfless purposes. For this, she knows that she needs to do some inner searching to find out what her true motivations are, so she can ensure that her magic truly is designed for selfless purposes.

 

She recognises that Black Magic aims to take energy away, that it’s designed to manipulate and hurt others. So before casting love spells, money spells or healing spells, she takes the time to ensure that no one will be manipulated or cheated by her spells.

 

Even if someone has wronged her, she tries to forgive them, seeing the act as a limitation of that individual’s perspective or an unresolved and deeply seated hurt that they are not aware of. She does not engage in revenge spells because she knows that all people are born of the Divine and therefore all are One. She knows that by hurting someone else, she’s actually hurting herself. Before casting a White Magic Spell, she asks the spell to serve the highest good for everyone involved.

 

3 – A White Witch Knows the Value of Silence We live in a culture that prides extraverted attributes – people who can perform public speaking, loudly state their ideas during work meetings and entertain others with casual chit-chat are regarded as successful. But silence has its own merit, and a White Witch knows the value of silence.

 

She does not feel guilty for giving up on social activities whenever she feels the need to retreat into the silence of her own room to meditate and do some inner searching. A White Witch might have a daily meditation practice (10 minutes will do) that allows her to tap into her inner wisdom and intuition, and use it for guidance in her daily life.

 

4 – A White Witch Clears Her Energy A White Witch knows that energies accumulate. Everything around her vibrates with a certain emotional or energetic signature and she picks up on these vibes like a radar, especially if she’s a particularly empathetic or sensitive individual.

In order to clear herself of the residue of everyday life, she uses white sage, daily rituals or meditation to cleanse herself of the imprints that have been left on her energy field. She knows that having boundaries is healthy (unless they start to feel isolating) and she’s careful not to sacrifice the ‘me-time’ for anyone else, a time that she needs for herself.

 

5 – A White Witch Recognises the Divine All Around Her Just as nature is to be honoured and respected, so is everything else. The Divine is present all around us, and it’s both male and female. Therefore the goddess is just as important in Wicca as the god is. A White Witch recognises that the Divine is present in all of us, too. And so, any spiritual practice dedicated to a god or goddess is not complete, unless it is extended to the daily dealings with the people around us.

 

What’s more, a White Witch knows that the magical powers that she develops are not unique to her – everyone is entitled to them, just as she is. Everyone can tap into magick and their inner wisdom, if they make an active choice to do so.

6 – A White Witch Acknowledges Personal Responsibility “Ever mind the rule of three: What ye send out comes back to thee.” That’s how the Rule of Three or The Law of Threefold Return goes. There are many interpretations of this law. Some believe that it is similar to karmic laws – if you do harm unto others, if you send negativity out into the Universe, then negativity will come back to haunt you threefold. And the same goes for good things – if you do good deeds, then good deeds will come back to you threefold.

Of course, in life it does not always feel like that, so it’s very important to recognise not only your actions, but also your intentions behind your actions, and things start to make more sense. For example, helping someone is generally a good thing, but if you help someone without them asking for your help first, the energy that you send out into the Universe is not helpful – it’s actually binding and controlling, and that’s the energy that you’ll receive back.

 

Although the Law of Threefold Return is interpreted in many ways, what’s important for a White Witch is to recognise that her actions will have repercussions, and they are likely to be physical, emotional and spiritual. So before you engage in an important action, examine your intentions first, and be aware of the potential consequences that your actions may have. When you do, be ready to own up to those consequences.

 

7 – A White Witch Respects the Beliefs of Others Although a White Witch has found her own Path, she is fully aware that this Path is unique to her alone. Therefore, she does not object when others share their personal spiritual beliefs. She doesn’t mind that other people may not share her beliefs – she knows that they come from different backgrounds, family settings, even cultures. She is simply grateful to have found her Path and shares her insights with those who ask her about them. She does not preach or try to convert anyone to her version of the truth – rather, she delights in learning about the different perspectives that others around her hold.

 

8 – A White Witch Knows That She’s Just Human While a White Witch is aware of the Threefold Law and that Divinity exists all around her, she knows that she is merely human. Humans are flawed by nature (if you believe that perfection even exists) and so she knows that she can’t possibly predict all of the consequences of her actions, that she has all kinds of feelings (sometimes negative) and that sometimes she needs to vent these to someone, or ask for help. She sees no shame in this because a White Witch does not strive to be perfect – she tries to be kind to herself and not to judge herself too harshly for her mistakes. When she practices self-love, she feels that she becomes kinder and more forgiving to those around her as well.

Celtic Tree Month – Coll – Hazel Moon August 5 – September 1

 

About the Celtic Tree Month – Coll (Hazel Moon): August 5 – September 1

“The lunar tree calendar of the Celts has long been a source of controversy among Celtic scholars. Some even claim it was never a part of the old Celtic world, but was an invention of author/researcher Robert Graves. The Druids are generally given credit by other researchers for creating this system. There seems to be no scholarly evidence to prove otherwise, yet many Celtic Pagans feel that the system pre-dates the time of Druidic influence over Celtic religious matters. It is probably reasonable to believe that the truth lies somewhere in between these three extremes. It is most likely that the tree system was in place, with minor regional variations before the time of the Druids who experimented with it, discovered the magical properties of each tree, and codified all the information into the system we have today.”

—-Joelles Sacred Grove

The Hazel Moon was known to the Celts as Coll, which translates to “the life force inside you.” This is the time of year when Hazelnuts are appearing on the trees, and are an early part of the harvest. Hazelnuts are also associated with wisdom and protection. Hazel is often associated in Celtic lore with sacred wells and magical springs containing the salmon of knowledge. This is a good month to do workings related to wisdom and knowledge, dowsing and divination, and dream journeys. If you’re a creative type, such as an artist, writer, or musician, this is a good month to get your muse back, and find inspiration for your talents. Even if you normally don’t do so, write a poem or song this month.

Covens vs. Solitary Practice

Covens vs. Solitary Practice

It’s an argument that comes up frequently in the Pagan community, particularly among those who identify as Wiccans. There’s one school of thought that says “only a witch can make a witch,” which means you must be initiated and part of a coven — typically a lineaged one — before you can claim to be Wiccan, Pagan, or any other variety thereof. There’s another camp that says anyone can be a witch or Pagan, and what matters more than initiation and coven connections is what’s in your heart and soul.

Will people ever agree on these things?

It’s pretty unlikely.

However, as you begin your studies of Wicca and other forms of Paganism, you may at some point be offered the opportunity to join a group. You may also find that you really prefer working alone. Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of covens vs. solitary practice, so that when the time comes for you to make a decision, you can do so with some knowledge under your belt.

Working as a Solitary

 

Many people begin their Pagan studies by working as a solitary. This happens for a number of reasons, but the most common one is that quite simply, most people develop an interest in Paganism long before they meet a coven they’re interested in joining. There are benefits to working alone, to be sure, but it also has its drawbacks.

Advantages

  • You can make your own rules, and follow your own set of ethics
  • You can worship at your convenience, rather than following a schedule involving several people
  • You’re free to work with anyone you like, even if they’re a member of another traditions
  • You’re not under any obligation to anyone but yourself and your deities

Disadvantages

  • You may find yourself eventually limited in the type and quantity of knowledge you obtain
  • It’s often hard for solitaries to network with other Pagans and Wiccans
  • Sometimes, it’s just nice to hang out with other people that believe as you do
  • If you’re looking to grow and learn spiritually, you may feel at some point you’d like a mentor or teacher, which you don’t have as a solitary

Working In a Group

 

Many Pagans and Wiccans find that they enjoy group practice. There is a certain energy that can be experienced in a group that you just don’t experience as a solitary practitioner, and there are plenty of benefits to being in a coven. On the other hand, when you work with a coven or group, there’s a whole new set of dynamics involved, which can create its own set of problems.

Advantages

  • Working in a group gives you the benefit of learning from people who may have more experience and knowledge than you
  • When you’re part of a group, you have more opportunities to network and meet others in the greater Pagan community
  • Coven work typically is more structured and formal, and rituals are usually more elaborate, which some people find beneficial to their studies
  • A coven usually has a pre-determined course of study, so rather than just randomly reading books, you’ll find yourself following specific lesson plans as you move towards various degrees of initiation

Disadvantages

  • Coven work typically has to be scheduled ahead of time, making sure everyone is available
  • If someone is on a power trip, a coven has the potential to be a miserable experience for everyone else involved
  • When you’re part of a coven, there are numerous relationships going on, so there can be issues if one person decides to cause problems
  • If you join an existing coven, chances are good that they’re already set in their ways, and may not be willing to make accommodations to meet your needs

Whether or not you decide to practice as a solitary or as part of a coven is a personal decision. Covens can be hard to find in some areas, but it is possible to do – just be aware that you may have to make some effort and put some work into the process. If you choose instead to be a solitary practitioner, there is nothing wrong with that either. Regardless, choose the path that is the right one for you.

Gods – OgmaCeltic God c.2015

 

Ogma

Celtic God

 

In Irish-Celtic myth, Ogma is the god of eloquence and learning. He is the son of the goddess Danu and the god Dagda, and one of the foremost members of the Tuatha Dé Danann. He is the reputed inventor of the ancient Ogham alphabet which is used in the earliest Irish writings.

In the final battle at Mag Tuireadh he managed to take away the sword of the king of the Fomorians, but had to pay with his life for this feat. His Celtic equivalent is Ogmios.

Ogma or Oghma is a character from Irish mythology. A member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, he is often considered a deity and may be related to the Gaulish god Ogmios.

He fights in the first battle of Mag Tuired, when the Tuatha Dé take Ireland from the Fir Bolg. Under the reign of Bres, when the Tuatha Dé are reduced to servitude, Ogma is forced to carry firewood, but nonetheless is the only one of the Tuatha Dé who proves his athletic and martial prowess in contests before the king. When Bres is overthrown and Nuadu restored, Ogma is his champion. His position is threatened by the arrival of Lugh at the court, so Ogma challenges him by lifting and hurling a great flagstone, which normally required eighty oxen to move it, out of Tara, but Lugh answers the challenge by hurling it back. When Nuadu hands command of the Battle of Mag Tuired to Lugh, Ogma becomes Lugh’s champion, and promises to repel the Fomorian king, Indech, and his bodyguard, and to defeat a third of the enemy. During the battle he finds Orna, the sword of the Fomorian king Tethra, which recounts the deeds done with it when unsheathed. During the battle Ogma and Indech fall in single combat, although there is some confusion in the texts as in Cath Maige Tuired Ogma, Lugh and the Dagda pursue the Fomorians after the battle to recover the harp of Uaitne, the Dagda’s harper.

He often appears as a triad with Lugh and the Dagda, who are sometimes collectively known as the trí dée dána or three gods of skill, although that designation is elsewhere applied to other groups of characters. His father is Elatha and his mother is usually given as Ethliu, sometimes as Étaín. His sons include Delbaeth and Tuireann. He is said to have invented the Ogham alphabet, which is named after him.

Scholars of Celtic mythology have proposed that Ogma represents the vestiges of an ancient Celtic god. By virtue of his battle prowess and invention of Ogham, he is compared with Ogmios, a Gaulish deity associated with eloquence and equated with Herakles. J. A. MacCulloch compares Ogma’s epithet grianainech (sun-face) with Lucian’s description of the “smiling face” of Ogmios, and suggests Ogma’s position as champion of the Tuatha Dé Danann may derive “from the primitive custom of rousing the warriors’ emotions by eloquent speeches before a battle”, although this is hardly supported by the texts. Scholars such Rudolf Thurneysen and Anton van Hamel dispute any link between Ogma and Ogmios.

*
A Proto-Indo-European root *og-mo– ‘furrow, track, incised line’ may be the origin of the stem of the name. In addition, Proto-Celtic had a causative verbal suffix *-ej– ~ *-īj-. A hypothetical Proto-Celtic *Ogm-īj-o-sogm-. This agent noun would therefore mean ‘furrow-maker, incisor’ and may have had a metaphorical sense of ‘impresser.’ therefore looks very much like an agent noun derived from a verb formed by the addition of this causative suffix to the stem *

The Irish god of writing, eloquence and poetry. Ogma was credited of being inventor of the Celtic writing systems that the Druids used for their magic. These scripts were known as Ogham.

Ogma was the son of Dagda and the goddess Danu. Some other writers say that Ogma and Dagda were brothers; in this version they were the sons of Eithne. Ogma had also being called the son of Elatha, the king of the Fomorians.

Ogma was one the seven champions in the First Battle of Moytura (Mag Tuired), but when Bres became the king of Tuatha dé Danann, Ogma was degraded into working on humiliating manual job of gathering firewood.
When Lugh went to Nuada, asking for a place to serve the king, Ogma seemed to be Nuada’s foremost fighter. During the second battle of Moytura, Ogma had killed one of the Fomorian leaders, named Indech, the son of Domnu.

Ogma had married Etain, the daughter of Dian Cécht. Ogma had a son named Caipre. Some say that he was the father of MacCuill, MacCecht and MacGrené (MacGrene), the three Danann kings who ruled Ireland, during the Milesian invasion, though other say that Neit was their father.
To the Celtic Gauls he was called Ogmios. According to both Gallic and Irish myths Ogma was a warrior god, depicted as a wrinkled old man, wearing lion’s skin cloak, carrying a bow and club. The Romans considered Ogmios as the Celtic equivalent of Hercules (Greek Heracles). They also depicting Ogimos as holding people chained to his tongue by their ears, to indicate he was the god of eloquence and poetry.

The Solitary Road and Personal Power

The Solitary Road and Personal Power

Author:   Crystal Blanton  

When I came to this path I had been looking for my spiritual self for some time. A new friend introduced me to Wicca, sparking something in me. I read so much information in such a short period of time my brain was overloaded with various traditions, beliefs, gods, goddesses and a host of other things.

I had a fear of joining a coven yet wanted more. I thought that, without a coven, I would not be able to advance and learn. So many books made references to studying in a coven and listed solitary as if it was a last resort. After much internal debate, speaking with my friend and overcoming the fear, I set out to find a group. And I found one.

Recently, after more than a year of study in this group, I decided to leave for many different reasons.

In reflection of my experience in a coven I have realized that I have learned many things, but not specifically about the Craft. I have learned a lot about group dynamics, honesty, integrity and the ability to trust my own instincts.

My experience in a coven, however, isn’t all negative as it has brought me to my own understanding and feelings about being a solitary practitioner. To be solitary is to trust myself, my knowledge and my judgment. To be solitary means that I am responsible for myself and my own karmic return.

It is the realization that it’s not about how much you know or the right or wrong way to do something. It is about my individual connection to the earth, the universe and the Lord & Lady. It is about what feels right to me and not necessarily how others interpret my spiritual growth.

As I am approaching this place in my journey, I feel empowered in knowing that I have the answers inside of me. It doesn’t matter which degree I have or any of the other aspects I consider to be religious politics. It only matters how I feel about my spiritual connections in my life.

So often we are conditioned to believe that everything in life is in black and white, right or wrong. And, with that ingrained in us, we seek outside people to “show” us for fear that we may do it wrong. What we sometimes fail to understand is that right and wrong is a concept. It is a box of morals and rules that are subject to everyone’s individual interpretations. So, in reality, nothing can be black and white because as humans we are all different shades of grey.

This is not to say that covens, groups or teachers are bad things. I think that everything has its place in my learning experience. But it is to say that, when we as pagans go into the world looking for spiritual leaders and/or covens, we should keep things in perspective.

Everyone holds the power inside themselves. Everyone’s journey is different. Everyone has knowledge inside.

A group should enhance and add to your experience, but it is still your experience. It doesn’t matter if you are sitting in circle alone or with the highest of High Priestesses, your connection with the Divine is a very personal one; a connection that no one else can replace or give you.

As a solitary I am relearning how to celebrate alone. When I began thinking about leaving the group I was in, I had the same fears of going solitary as the fears I had in the beginning of joining a group. It is truly amazing how things go full circle.

As a solitary I have really discovered that my attention needs be focused around my connections with the universe and the spirit and away from structure. The freedom in realizing that I can do whatever feels right to celebrate the Sabbats or Esbats is indescribable. Whether a ritual, feast, meditation, prayer, bike ride or walk outside in the elements, anything can be an act of honoring the Lord and Lady and the turn of the wheel.

Personal power is something that everyone has but is so easily given away. In making a decision to be solitary I have decided to keep mine.

When I first began this path I was afraid to do any magical work without guidance. I celebrated the Sabbats and began meditating but didn’t feel that was enough. I realize that I didn’t have the confidence in my spiritual self but that has changed some in the last 2 years and is continuing to grow more solid everyday.

Once I got that I held the power within myself; rituals, meditations and celebratory activities gained more power. I am finding that the key to feeling power and raising energy as a solitary is confidence. The difference in my personal power today versus a year ago has grown and shows itself in my work.

When exiting the coven I was in, I didn’t exactly understand that. It became apparent to me the minute I did some work as a solitary. “In perfect love and perfect trust” doesn’t just apply in a coven setting. It applies in our relationship with the Lord and Lady, the universe and most importantly within ourselves. I am learning to have perfect love and perfect trust with my spiritual self and my own personal power.

I have a nice group of solitary friends that I hang out with for friendship and spiritual connections. Today when I connect with friends for magical purposes, I come as myself, as my own high priestess. And my journey continues… .

There is this saying that says, “Wherever you go, there you are”. I say that to others in my job on a weekly basis but never applied it to myself.

Whether I am solitary or in a coven, it is my energy, power, knowledge, strength and hope that I take with me. What an empowering thought! I now understand that the power I experienced as a part of the coven was mine.

I am a woman, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, a heart, a human. I am powerful, strong, knowledgeable, spiritual… … … I am a Pagan, I am a Witch, I am a Solitary.

We Who Shall Inherit Ourselves

We Who Shall Inherit Ourselves

Author:  Brannawen Ravenhart

 

Over the course of the past decade or two, the giant surge of information on Paganism and Wicca, and Witchcraft in general has swelled to enormous proportions. Whereas I used to have to scratch pathetically through musty bookstores, or wait patiently for a dog-eared and battered single paperback copy of “Drawing Down the Moon” by Margot Adler at the library, or, if great luck would have it, borrow a book or two from some other fortunate soul who not only owned books, but might even know someone who knew someone who might have more; now I can walk into any mall, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Waldenbooks and find many different books in a wide range of topics, depths, and styles. I can surf the Internet and find information on anything I desire. Videos, DVD’s, television documentaries, are all available to me like chocolates in a candy store. What do I want to pick today? What do I wish to learn? What path do I want to know more about? What do I want to know of our own history? The plethora of books and authors allow luxuries today that were unheard of years ago. They also allow a freedom of choice that was never dreamed of. Before, we had to be happy with what we got, and if we did manage to get our hands on something, we often followed that specific information to the people and paths where we eventually ended up. The ways to wisdom had but few trails in the wilderness, and we ended up exactly where they took us.

In a way, this was a very good thing. The hardworking, dedicated individual could find their way only through the mysterious maze of the guidance of others. This led to strength and conviction and solidarity within the covens, groves, groups or even to the Solitary Practitioner, due to the inherent nature of the learning. There are pros and cons about the ‘opening of the Book of Shadows’ to the general public, and there are many valid points to each pro and each con. However, I know what I have felt transform in my own life. I have to base my experience and knowledge on what is real to me. No longer do I have to hide. I may still be cautious, but I know that I can stand in community now, shoulder to shoulder with other battle weary survivors of the shrouded times. I am not alone. I can now say ‘We.’ To that I add “We, who live in the Information Age.”

To me, it is the transformation of having to get up and manually changing one of the three grainy channels on a TV dial to holding the remote control for 400+ stations on digital cable. It is my great luck and fortune to be living in this time, the same way my grandmother and great-grandmother lived through horse and buggy days to rocket ships to the moon. I am a witness. I will never lose sight of that blessing.

This deluge of information, of availability, has propelled Paganism into the face of the forefront of our American culture. No longer complete outcasts, or hidden away, we now have been recognized, have constitutional protections, freedom of speech and religion that is allowed to any other person in this country, as it should be. And we are growing. The information feeding tube has given birth to fantastic amounts of interest, media coverage, watchdog organizations and it is a burgeoning vein that feeds back into itself. By this very exposure we have been given tools and opportunities to defend ourselves against ignorance and segregation, against defamation and harassment (and worse) from other faiths or beliefs who once shunned and persecuted us.

In the same breath, I will also say that I fully agree that now, our own worst enemy is ourselves. Over the years, I have run into many myths about Wicca and Witchcraft, from the days when I wrote my first little book on Witches at age seven (a horrible caricature which makes me squirm due to the naivetŽ it represents — I was equally fascinated and repelled by the wicked witch myth, ) up to today where I see infighting and slander from one group to another. Here is the irony: I conquered my own reservations and cultural enslavement to the myth of ‘evil and Witchcraft, ‘ and then found my way. I conquered my fear of the unknown and of unknown people when I reached out to find others who believed the way I do, and found my way again. I conquered my fear of speaking out and letting my family and friends know about my beliefs, and found acceptance. Now I find myself trying to conquer the anxiety and confusion caused by our own infighting.

I do realize that something this new, this tremendous, this explosive, this controversial will have, by it’s own combustive nature (the birth of a new wave of faith) these types of interwoven battles. Are they of supremacy? Possibly. Jealousy? Of what, I am not sure, but yes, of jealousy too. Does this make sense? No. But I think that at this time, we are not only here to find ourselves, but to find and define each other.

Every single one of us has at this time the potential to make a mark in this path. Relatively speaking, there are so few of us. Human nature makes us want to shine out, speak out, be noticed, be recognized. I have to admit to that. The key here is; what mark is it that we truly want to leave? This is why it is so important to be careful, think hard, and speak wisely. We all have the opportunity here to be heard, if we stop pushing a little. No biting, kicking, scratching or shoving, and as for our kids, well, they just better mind their manners also! We should take the opportunity now of our few numbers, and our own voices, to promote the greater good, rather than ourselves. We can all be heard. Perhaps in another millennium, surrounded by billions of Wiccans, Druids, Shamans and Neo Pagans of all paths, when we are culturally mainstream, we would not have this chance. But now? This is the time to work with each other. To be here and now in this time is such a gift. It is sobering to realize that not everyone can see this.

We are writing our own history. This has been said many ways, many times. This is so true. This is also what upsets me sometimes, when I see someone or hear someone who doesn’t seem to understand or recognize this, or who uses subversion or duplicity to undermine one faction just to promote his or her own. On the other hand, I also feel compassion. We do have to make mistakes to ‘get’ the lesson. That is why we are here, after all. The most we can do is hold onto that thought if and when we do make those mistakes ourselves. All we have to do is notice and thank the ones who do manage to speak out clearly, and fight not only the misconceptions about us, but also the misconceptions we have about each other. We hold in our hands the pen that will leave the mark on the wall of our history. Will it be graffiti? Or poetry? Caricatures? Or great art? We are at the beginning. Our forefathers are living here among us. They could even be ourselves. This is an endowment we should never lose sight of.

Ten Factoids You Need to Know About Paganism and Wicca

Ten Factoids You Need to Know About Paganism and Wicca

By , About.com

There’s a lot of information out there on Wicca and Paganism, in books, on the Internet, and through local groups. But how much of it is accurate? How do you learn to separate the wheat from the chaff? The fact is, there are several basic things you should understand about Wicca and Paganism before you make the decision to join a new spiritual path. Let’s eliminate some of the misconceptions and talk about actual facts… it will make your spiritual journey all the more valuable if you understand these issues from the begining.

1. Yes, Even Wicca Has Rules

Sure, a lot of people think that just because there’s no Grand High Wiccan and Pagan Council that there must be all kinds of magical carnage going on. Truth is, there are some fairly standard guidelines followed by a number of different Pagan traditions. While they vary from one group to the next, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with some of the concepts. Learn more about the rules of magic before you continue your studies.

2. Not All Witches are Pagans are Wiccans

There are dozens of Pagan traditions, and as many different versions of Wicca. Not all are the same, and just because someone is a witch or Pagan doesn’t necessarily mean they practice Wicca. Learn about the differences in paths found among the umbrella term “Paganism.”

3. Wicca is a Religion, Not a Fashion Statement

Contrary to what many popular movies might have you believe, you don’t have to be a teenage goth princess to be Wiccan. In fact, you don’t “have to be” anything at all. Wiccans come from all walks of life — they are parents and teens, lawyers, nurses, firefighters, waitresses, teachers and writers. Pagans come from all different walks of life, all socio-economic groups, and all sorts of racial backgrounds. There’s no Pagan Dress Code that says you have to toss away your polo shirt or khakis in favor of capes and an all-black wardrobe. On the other hand, if you prefer the goth look, go for it… just remember that goth and Wiccan are not synonymous.

4. Religious Freedom Applies to Wiccans and Pagans Too

Believe it or not, as a Wiccan or Pagan you have the same rights as people of any other religion. Despite the fact that some members of other faiths might disapprove of the existence of Wicca and Paganism, the fact is that if you live in the United States, you’re entitled to protection just like anyone else. It’s against the law for anyone to discriminate against you because you practice an earth-based faith. Learn about your rights as a Pagan or Wiccan parent, as an employee, and even as a member of the United States military.

5. It’s Okay to Be Out of the Broom Closet… or Not

Countless numbers of Pagans and Wiccans have made the choice to “come out of the broom closet”… in other words, they’ve stopped hiding their spiritual path from others. For many people, this is a huge decision. You may feel that it’s not in your best interest to make your religious beliefs known, and that’s okay too. If you feel you could be in danger if you reveal that you are Wiccan, or that it might put a strain on family relations, going public might be something you should postpone. Get all the pros and cons on coming out of the broom closet.

6. Wiccans and Pagans Are Not Satanists

Ask any Pagan or Wiccan about the cornerstone of their faith, and they’ll probably tell you it’s a reverence for their ancestors, a belief in the sacredness of nature, a willingness to embrace the Divine within ourselves, or an acceptance of polarity between the male and female. It may be a combination of those principles. It will not have anything to do with the Satan, Old Scratch, Beelzebub, or any of the other names attributed to the Christian devil. Pagans and Wiccans aren’t devil worshippers, Satanists, or Diabolists. Learn more about how Pagans and Wiccans feel about such an entity.

7. Join a Coven, or Practice Solitary?

Many Wiccans and Pagans choose to join a coven or study group because it allows them the chance to learn from like-minded people. It’s an opportunity to share ideas and get new perspectives on any number of things. However, for some folks it’s just more practical or desirable to remain as a solitary practitioner.

8. Parents and Teens

Nothing will set a teenager at odds with a parent quite like coming into the house wearing a giant pentacle, toting a candle, and yelling, “I’m a witch now, leave me alone!” Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Parents, you may have some concerns about Wicca and Paganism… and teens, you probably aren’t sure how to talk to mom and dad about your newfound interest. Rest easy, though. With a little bit of good communication, both parents and teenagers should be able to find a happy medium.

9. You Don’t Need a Lot of Fancy Tools

Many people think they need to stock up on hundreds of dollars worth of incense, herbs, wands and candles before they can even begin to practice Wicca or Paganism. That’s simply not the case. While a few basic magical tools3 are nice to have, the key element of most traditions are the beliefs, not the tangible, physical items. If you’d like to gather a very basic “starter kit” of tools, there are several which are common to nearly every tradition.

10. You Can Write Your Own Spells and Rituals

Despite a commonly held (and generally Internet-based) belief, anyone can write a spell. The trick is to recognize what the key elements are to successful spellcrafting — intent or goal, components, and putting it into practice are all key. Don’t let anyone tell you that beginners can’t write a spell. Just like any other skill set, it will take some practice, but with a little work you can become a perfectly effective spellworker.
