Removing an Obstacle

Binding Oil Recipe

Materials Required

1 oz glass bottle
15 drops dill oil
30 drops arinse
60 drops galangal
15 drops hyssop
60 drops myrrh

Be sure to mix the ingredients well so that they are properly blended. As you are mixing, think of things being bound from your life.

Spell

Materials Required

Binding oil
String
Piece of paper
Pencil or pen
Black candle
Match or lighter
Fire-proof bowl

The first step you will need to complete for this is to cast a circle (how you normally would when preparing for your workings) and to ensure that all of your materials are within reach.

You will light your candle first, black is generally used because it symbolizes the removal of something from your life.

Next, you will write the obstacle that you wish to see removed from your life on the piece of paper. After which, you will spend a few moments visualizing how you will work to remove this obstacle from your life. It is important to remember that spells can assist a great deal, but you also have to put in the necessary time, effort, and energy towards what you are looking to accomplish. When you are finished, you will then take the piece of paper and fold it so that it is smaller in size, and begin to wrap your string around it. As you are wrapping the string around the piece of paper, you can recite the following incantation:

As I wrap this cord, ________ will be no one.
_______ shall no longer be a part of my life.
This shall come to be.

When you have finished wrapping, you will then take a small amount of the binding oil, and put it on the obstacle you have wrapped in the string. After which, you will take it, and place it in the fireproof bowl, and set it aflame. As it burns, the following incantation, or something similar should be recited:

As this obstacle burns, so shall the power it has over me.
This obstacle shall hold no power over me.
As it burns, it shall be released release from my life.

After it has been burned to ash, you may close your circle. Once the ashes from your obstacle are cool to the touch, you may bury them somewhere away from your home so that they can cause no more harm.

(One Person’s View Point) To Be or Not to be Skyclad c.2013

As a High Priestess of a Coven, I am often asked by initiates if the Coven works “skyclad.” When a coven works skyclad, they will or should be upfront about it when you first approach them for membership. Any group that springs this on you after you have joined is unethical and not a group you want to be involved with.

To work skyclad means to work only clad or dressed within the sky and nature; nude, within all the powers that be; to work magick and ritual unencumbered by mortal threads.

It sounds wonderful, don’t you think? Just you and a few very close friends, all standing around in nature. One with the God/dess, not to mention a few thousand mosquitoes and other biting things.

Please don’t misunderstand; I love nature in all of her boundless beauty. But being dressed or undressed to work ritual or magick in circle seems more of a stress than release to most.

I am not saying that one tradition is any better than another because they leave their clothes on or drop the cloak. Don’t assume because I choose not to work skyclad that I have never have. Although I have found over the years that, many times, the idea of working skyclad gets lost and somehow misused by some less than honorable people who will take advantage of any opportunity to abuse.

The human body is a magickal and beautiful part of magick. Nudity without shame is also a statement of freedom from prejudice, inhibition, coercion, and so on. However, some people are not comfortable with the idea of nudity, and that should be equally acceptable.

Working skyclad is traditional for some groups. Many Gardnerian covens still perform their rites skyclad.

The idea has been stated that it was a common practice for the Old World Witches to do ritual and magick skyclad. I disagree. I don’t believe that Native American Shaman or Celtic Witches would have stood in the shivering cold while trying to perform magick as their fingers (not to mention other parts) became frost bitten from the ice and snow. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

The reasons given for working skyclad are many and varied. Most are also sincere in design.

According to some, clothing blocks the energy. This is a personal issue. For myself, the icicles hanging off my butt cheeks block way more energy than that cotton tunic.

I have heard that being nude in ritual deepens the trust between coven members. If I have trust issues with a Coven or its members, standing in front of them with all my wrinkles hanging out isn’t going to increase my trust. Being naked for some is an issue of shame or embarrassment. For whatever reason this may be, once shamed, they will never trust or be less for it.

It is believed that removing the robes will remove all indications of rank, and therefore places all members as equals. Again, a good concept. But the truth is that Joe Bob is still Joe Bob, with and without his clothes.

Being able to remove one’s clothes shows the level of commitment one has to the Craft and/or coven. My level of commitment comes from my heart and soul, not how or whether I am dressed.

Being dressed or skyclad should not affect how you work ritual or magick. There should be nothing sexual about performing rituals in the nude, but in this society, it is hard to keep the crazies out and keep the circle protected from them all.

Do not feel that you must go skyclad because that’s what real Witches do. Real Witches decide for themselves. Feeling uncomfortable during ritual will only detract from your purpose. So if you feel awkward being naked with others or even alone, then cover up.

As a child, I was allowed to watch and, in time, participate in rituals and circle with my Great Grandmother. She and the Sister (her coven) would gather and work great mystical rites of magick. They didn’t read books on what made them Witches, they just knew. They didn’t allow anyone to tell them how to do it, they just did. They didn’t worry about how it was, it just was. And not once did they work or perform any of their sacred magick skyclad. They knew magick is magick until you make it something less.

Some people have something special to wear whenever working ritual and magick. It should be something personal to you alone. It can be a medieval gown, a tunic or jeans and t-shirt. But only wear it for working and bless it to that end. Be comfortable in whatever you choose.

Some arguments for working skyclad can be found in the book Aradia, also called the Gospel of the Witches, by Charles G. Leland. In the Aradia, Witches in worship are specifically instructed to conduct their rites naked as a sign that ‘ye shall be truly free’. Because of this book, many have decided that all rites should be conducted skyclad. I enjoy Leland’s book, parts of which are extremely poetic. However, say it is the basics for a structure of a religion I disagree with.

Also put forth as evidence is artwork and early engraving by artists such Albrecht Durer. In 1497 his engraving portrayed four women undressing for a Witchcraft ritual. If this is the evidence, then no man shall be a Witch. Does no one think it odd that men, during a time when even men were somewhat oppressed, would tell stories or draw the Witches or women naked in their magickal workings?

Witchcraft, ritual and magick unite us on a higher level; One with the oldest Gods and Nature. The freedom and exhilaration of dancing under a Full Moon is one of the ways of drawing close to all those energies and powers. But that freedom should not come at the price of your personal power. You choose if your dance shall be in the sky or skyclad. Magick should always hold a bit of mystery.

If you are considering joining a coven and they perform their rituals skyclad, but you do not feel comfortable with it, find another coven. Do not expect any group to bend their rules for you, just as you should not bend your personal power or comfort to fit any coven or group.

Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
And live every day as if it were your last.

(One Person’s View Point) Let’s Talk Witch – Skyclad c.2015

Skyclad

There is a simple word that can strike fear into the heart of the bravest Witch: skyclad.

Arrggghhhh! (See, told you.)

Skyclad is the word we use to mean, well, nude. As in, “This month’s full moon ritual will be done skyclad.”

Starkers, as the Brits say. In your birthday suit. Sans clothing. In your altogether. In short, buck-naked. Or as my dad used to say, “stark, nuked nade.”

Either way, it means you are out there under the moon with the breeze blowing through your, er … everything.

Some Witches are very comfortable practicing skyclad. Others wouldn’t do it on a bet. Still others save such dedication for their solitary rituals and prefer to wear garb when gathering with their fellow Witches.

All of the above is fine. There is no rule that says you have to perform Witchcraft naked (thank the goddess), although there are some traditions where that is the norm. And although in the Charge of the Goddess it says “ye shall be naked in your rites,” this doesn’t mean that you have to stand outside at midwinter freezing your whatsits off.

As with most things witchy, you should use your own judgment and do what feels right to you. If you’re comfortable being naked, by all means do your rituals skyclad. If you’re not, you would probably find your nakedness so distracting that you wouldn’t be able to concentrate on your magick anyway, so there’s not much point to it.

The important thing to remember is that in the case of group rituals, you should discuss such things ahead of time and make sure that everyone agrees. There isn’t much that is more disconcerting than showing up at a ritual to find out that you are expected to disrobe when you weren’t planning on it.

June 16, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for June 16th, 2025 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 20.1 days old and 78.97% illuminated with a tilt of -68.89°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 384,224.55 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for June 16th, 2025 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

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

All Signs

Let’s talk about Mars. Mars is an energy planet. It represents the energy we use to live and face our daily pressures. Mars is associated with our ego and our sex drive; and is connected with work and physical love making. Mars stays for six to seven weeks in each sign, and it acts differently in each sign. This week, Mars moves into Virgo, which means everyone will become more fixated on getting things done. We’ll strive to be efficient, organized and seek ways to improve how we do things. We’ll also want to improve our health. Virgo is a careful sign. Oh yes, “measure twice, cut once.” Virgo is also helpful, so everyone will try to be useful, solve problems and fix situations. When Mars is in Virgo, no one will fry bacon naked.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the next several weeks, you will work hard to get things done. And, you’ll take pride in your productivity and whatever you accomplish. Although, you might work for the betterment of others, because Mars is tied up with one’s ego, you might find it difficult to do work where you don’t get the credit. The best solution is to manoeuvre yourself into a position where you don’t have to work for others more than necessary. (Mars is not a team player.) You’ll be keen to improve your health. Guard against infections, fevers or accidents. Above all, don’t let your frustrations stay bottled up in silence. Express how you feel – clearly and with courtesy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Lucky you! This week Mars enters the most fun-filled part of your chart! Since Mars is all about ego, you’re ready to declare, “This is who I am!” You will have lots of energy to express yourself in playful ways. Physical sports will appeal, especially competitive sports. Join teams or work out in classes. Do anything where you can blow off some of the pent energy building up within you. Romantically, your nature will be strong! Physical lovemaking will be less about candlelight dinners and more about swinging from the ceiling. Admittedly, Mars can encourage a lack of discipline and doing what you know you should do. It might be hard to get down to work. Oh well. Enjoy yourself!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This shift of Mars into Virgo will stir up energy within your family and your home life. For starters, at an unconscious level, it could take you back to your childhood and you might feel old resentments or be aware of old behaviour patterns from the past. “Whaaat? This again?” You might find yourself fighting with people about something that doesn’t even matter. Mars will also create lots of activity where you live, perhaps due to renovations, residential moves or visiting guests. Domestic strife is classic at this time. It will be particularly challenging dealing with parents. Even your professional activities might be challenged because if others oppose you – you won’t like it. Fortunately, the Sun in your sign will give you positive vibes. Keep smiling.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Fasten your seatbelts because in the next two months, your everyday life will accelerate! Your energy will be high; and you will identify strongly with your ideas. You’ll express yourself with more force, and you might be less inclined to listen to the views of others. This could lead to conflicts, especially if you unconsciously try to coerce others into believing as you do. However, this mental drive will help those in sales, marketing, teaching and acting. But in your everyday world, you might come across as too opinionated. Others might see you as unwilling to listen to what they have to say. Be aware of this influence of Mars because although it can help you – it can also create problems in your dealings with others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Welcome this shift of Mars because it will give you some useful energy! For starters, it will motivate you to boost your earnings and work hard for financial security. It will help you see how to use your possessions to get work done. You’ll see better ways of accomplishing tasks. You might also find that you’re defending your values more than usual. Meanwhile, the impulsive nature of Mars can make you buy things, and later regret them. Especially flashy new cars. (Mars like speed.) This is because Mars makes you identify with what you own. Be careful.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Fiery Mars in your sign will bring great activity in your life for the next seven weeks. You’ll find it easier to work hard to further your own interests. You’ll also find it easier to assert yourself among others. Basically, you will feel that this is your chance to show the world what you can do! Because you’ll be more of a fighter for your own rights than usual, be careful about being insensitive to others. Your physical energy will be high. Use this blessing of Mars to accomplish what you want to do. Don’t fall prey to its tendency to make you bossy and authoritarian. Turn this into a positive productive time in your life because this is what it can be.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

According to where Mars falls in our chart, it can help to us to get things done, or stir up problems for us. In the next 6 to 7 weeks, you might feel vaguely irritable and uneasy. You might create the wrong impression with others. Your efforts at asserting yourself might become undermined by behaviour patterns of which you’re not even aware. (Whaat?) Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to be aware of yourself and these little self-defeating acts. If you feel upset, refrain from confrontations with others. Instead confront yourself. Your best choice might be to work alone. However, you’ll find it rewarding to be of service to others. Meanwhile, don’t worry. This is a temporary challenge. After Mars leaves Virgo, it moves into your sign making you an action hero!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The next two months are powerful. You want to formulate your goals and begin to pursue them. Mars will make you identify with what you want to accomplish. You’ll work today for what you want tomorrow. And you will work successfully with others. Oh yes — this is not the time to be alone. Join forces with groups, organizations or friends because this combined energy will help you achieve your goals. Coordinate your needs with the needs of others. Physical activity and team sports and workouts with others will appeal. Mars will give you personal gratification from what you do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Holy cannoli! For the next two months, fiery Mars will arouse your ambition to achieve! You will identify with what you’re doing and work extremely hard until it’s done. Ideally, you need your own authority or work on an independent project because you won’t be happy with other people telling you what to do. Seek out ways to be your own boss. If not, be gracious and skilful if you find yourself in conflict with authority figures. (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.) If you are in conflict with coworkers who feel threatened — back off. Don’t threaten others. You just want to do your thing! Make that clear in a friendly way. (You can do this because you’re a friendly sign!)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The sojourn of Mars through Virgo is good news because Mars will be aligned with your fellow Earth sign. This will boost your interest in creative, intellectual work. You can explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education. Mars will help you assert yourself, and defend your ideas to others. You’ll have lots of energy to expand your mind and your experience of the world. You’ll be keen to travel, learn and meet people from different backgrounds who have different ideas and values. (Admittedly, you might deal more with the law, the courts and legal difficulties. Oops.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In the next seven weeks, Mars will travel through one of your Money Houses — the House that deals with shared property, shared debt, shared wealth, and shared resources. (This includes inheritances and mortgages.) It means you might have confrontations with others about financial arrangements or financial responsibilities. You might have to modify or re-examine your position? This part of your chart also deals with values and responsibilities. You might disagree with someone about how to spend a limited amount of money. Meanwhile, romance will be hot and sexy! The stuff of memoirs if anyone has time to write anything down.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Things will be a bit tricky for you because fiery Mars will be opposite your sign for almost the next two months. Because Mars is an aggressive, feisty energy associated with your ego, this means that you might find yourself easily annoyed with partners and close friends. In fact, you might even find yourself dealing with your “enemies” on a face-to-face basis. (!) The upside of this is Mars will give you the courage to put your cards on the table and clear the air. The downside is that it might make it harder for you to be patient with others, and let things unfold smoothly. Try to compromise in order to avoid needless controversy. Think of your own peace of mind.

Struggling to feel motivated? Let the hard-working nature of an acorn help you to accomplish the tasks on your to-do list!

What you will need:

Acorn
Clean cloth

1. Take your acorn and wrap it in the cloth. This is you as you are right now- a hidden seed full of potential, but having a tough time getting started.

2. With the thumb of your dominant hand, carefully rub the surface of the acorn three times through the cloth. By giving the acorn a bit of warmth and attention, you are helping to wake up its energy.

4. Say:

Awoken from slumber to see the light,
To grow and embrace our inner might.
With space and blessings of the sun,
We have all we need to get things done!

5. Carry the acorn with you or place it on your altar. If you need a boost of motivation during the day, simply hold it in your hand again.

6. After you have accomplished what it was you needed to do, thank the acorn and plant it in your garden or in the woods.

Thursday Source: whitewitchgrimoire.com

Day: Thursday
Planet: Jupiter
Colors: Blue and Metallic

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.

The Full Moon of June 2025: A Full Strawberry Moon!

Look up! The Strawberry Moon appears on June 11. Will the last full Moon of spring be strawberry red? Learn more about this unusual full Moon and how it got its name.

When to See the Full Moon in June 2025

June’s full Moon will reach peak illumination on June 11 at 3:44 A.M. Eastern Time. See the Full Moon Calculator for your local time.

Why Is It Called the Strawberry Moon?

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from many places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Historically, names for the full or new Moons were used to track the seasons. Today, we think of Moon names as “nicknames” for the Moon.

June’s full Moon—typically the last full Moon of spring or the first of summer—has traditionally been called the Strawberry Moon. While strawberries certainly are a reddish-pink color and are roundish in shape, the origin of the name “Strawberry Moon” has nothing to do with … Click here to read the rest of this article Source: almanac.com

June’s Strawberry Moon: Spiritual Meaning and Full Moon Ritual

It’s a great time for spells connected to love and abundance.

June’s Full Strawberry Moon will take place on June 21, 2024, the day following the Summer Solstice. When it comes to the Strawberry Moon’s spiritual meaning, it’s the time of the year to focus on love, abundance, and prosperity.

If that sounds similar to the Flower Moon, it’s because it is. Some of the themes that were just blooming then are coming into their peak now.

Full Moon spells, rituals, and correspondences for the Strawberry Moon are related to love and prosperity. In June 2024, the Full Moon is in Capricorn, so if there are some practical ways you can move forward on those goals, now is the time to put those ideas into place.

Why Is June’s Full Moon Called the Strawberry Moon?

We call it the Strawberry Moon because it is the name some Indigenous American tribes used to describe the time of the year when strawberries are ripe. Though, sometimes, the Moon itself looks slightly reddish.

June’s Moon may be the last Full Moon for spring, or in the case this year, the first Full Moon of summer. Many of its other names for this Moon are connected to the sense that everything is in flow and is coming to fruition.

June was named after the goddess Juno, the Roman Goddess of marriage and childbirth. And, according to NASA, “The tradition of calling the first month of marriage the “honeymoon” may be tied to this full Moon because of the custom of marrying in June or because the “Honey Moon” is the “sweetest” Moon of the year.” (Though, sometimes, the first full Moon following this would be in July.)

June’s Full Moon is also known as:

Gardening Moon (Ojibwe)

River Moon (Catawba)

Moon of Birthing (Inupiat)

Berries Ripen Moon (Haida)

Summer Moon (Tunica and Seneca)

Egg Laying Moon (Cree)

Honey Moon (Medieval Europe)

Mead Moon (Medieval Europe)

Rose Moon (Europe)

The Full Moon: Your Heart’s Desire Seek

A powerful energy for rituals of prophecy, divination and protection. Any spellwork that requires extra energy, such as finding a new job or healing serious conditions, is best begun during the full moon. Also for love, gaining sacred knowledge, legal matters, attracting money and prophetic dreams.

This is a time to really go for what you want. When the moon is full, her energy is very powerful and you can ask her to help you to accomplish almost anything. The energy of the full moon is great for magick involving divination, dreams, love and whatever else you desire. Some say full moon energy is available three days before the actual date of the full moon and three days after that date. I personally say the day before and the day after the full moon is most potent.

We use the power of the full moon to cleanse and empower tools by leaving them to soak up lunar rays. You can do this by leaving them outside or in a windowsill that gets moonlight on it.

June 11, 2025 Current Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.91 days old and 99.79% illuminated with a tilt of 90.194°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 400,996.74 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.

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

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

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

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