There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.
Although this is a pleasant day at home, especially entertaining others; nevertheless, you might feel restricted financially. Or perhaps something that you own will create some challenges? Fortunately, this is nothing you cannot handle.
Tread carefully today. The good news is relations with others are warm and friendly. People are mutually sympathetic. However, the bad news is that someone in authority (a parent, boss or police person?) might rain on your parade or make things difficult for you. Be patient and polite.
This is a favourable day for financial matters. If shopping, you will be inclined to buy beautiful, luxurious items. Meanwhile, something going on behind the scenes could be problematic. Do be aware of this. If something looks like it could be a problem – don’t dismiss it. Look at it.
Today is a mixed bag; but on the whole, it’s a pleasant, positive day. Nevertheless, you might find that a friend or a group will not go along with your ideas. Someone might even say something that confirms your worst suspicions about yourself. Don’t listen to this! Phffft!
You feel happy and content with your world today, which is why this can be a lovely day for you. However, someone in a position of authority might get under your skin or get in the way of something that you want to do. Go with the flow and accommodate this as well as you can. It is what it is.
This is a mellow day. In particular, it’s a warm day dealing with friends and members of groups. However, travel plans could be difficult. Possibly, rules and regulations or something in the news or the media will hold you back or prevent you from doing something you want.
You look good to others today! People admire you, especially people in authority. This might help you if you have disputes about shared property or shared responsibilities when dealing with others. Someone you encounter might be stubborn. (Bummer.)
Tread carefully because someone close to you might try to block your plans today. Perhaps they just want to do something different? Perhaps they don’t agree with your ideas? Meanwhile, opportunities to travel for pleasure exist. Could this be the escape you need?
Today the Moon is in your sign; furthermore, the position of Venus can attract benefits, favours and even money to you. (Yay, we like!) However, those of you at work might encounter resistance to your ideas. Therefore, proceed slowly and cautiously before you do any task. Believe in yourself.
Fair Venus opposite your sign guarantees warm relations with spouses, partners and friends now. (This feels good!) However, romantic relationships, sports events and dealings with children might create some challenges. Oh well, nothing is perfect. Cope as best you can.
In order to keep the peace, be patient with family members today, especially authority figures because they might be grumpy or critical of you. In turn, this might mean that you are quietly angered but feel you can’t speak up. Escape. Do something different. Get away from this.
Don’t be pushy or coercive when dealing with others today because you might be tempted to do so, especially if you have the law on your side. A sense of authority might embolden you to be rude or critical. Why do this? Life is easier when you get along with everyone.
Co-founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales (1966) shares your birthday today. Justice and fair play are important to you because you have ethical values. You are generous and benevolent to others. You are also entertaining and friendly! This year it’s time to enjoy life! Seek opportunities to entertain and socialize with others. Find ways to express your creativity. Get in touch with old friends.

In Wicca, we make it a point to honor both feminine and masculine energies, lunar and solar cycles. When we’re practicing our craft according to the lunar cycles, we honor the Moon Goddess with esbats. However, we also have eight solar festivals throughout the year, which are represented by the Wiccan Wheel of the Year.
The Wheel of the Year is a physical representation of the eight pagan festivals that celebrate nature’s life cycles. These eight Sabbats include four solar events — two solstices and two equinoxes — and four cross-quarter events. But how did this calendar come about in the first place?
Many historians postulate that ancient pagans marked the passing of time by celebrating certain solar events. On top of that, some of their celebrations were a way to mark events that had agricultural significance. Even so, we can’t say that the seasonal festivals we’re about to discuss ever existed in their current forms. So how did we get to the Wheel of the Year we observe today?
Well, believe it or not, the Wiccan Sabbats are a result of decades, if not centuries, of modern interpretations of ancient rites. In fact, some pretty famous scholars unknowingly participated in the…
You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
Visit the August 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
The Waxing Gibbous on August 7 has an illumination of 72%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On August 7 the Moon is 9.56 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)
Whether you just moved into a new home or you’ve been living in your home for a while, it is always a good idea to cast a protection spell over your space. This process doesn’t have to be elaborate or complicated. In fact, it generally involves about two steps: cleansing the space and then protecting it. Any other steps in the process are entirely optional and can add to the potency of your spell. If you are in search of a simple protection spell for your home, be sure to read this post to the very end!
Believe it or not, the energy of your home can have an effect on your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. This energy usually accumulates over time, but certain factors can play a role in how quickly unpleasant energy settles into your spaces. For example, if you spend a lot of time in emotionally charged situations during the day, you may end up bringing some unpleasant energy home with you. This energy may accumulate faster than if you spent your days in more pleasant or neutral situations. Surrounding yourself with unpleasant energies could lead you to feeling drained, grouchy, and generally not spiritually well in your own home.
Energy can also accumulate due to other people in your life. This includes people you let into your home such as family, friends, and even employees, and people that don’t come into your home but still send their energy in your direction. Putting up a magical protective barrier around your home can help to protect against physical damage such as break-ins, storms, or similar. It can also help protect your home against magical or psychic attacks from others or keep a wandering spirit from making itself too comfortable.
Clearing your home of unpleasant energies and protecting it from external energetic forces is very simple. Keep reading for some tips to get you started.
Whether you are an animist or not, spend some time in your space. Light some incense if you want, play some nice music, and meditate in the heart of your home. Close your eyes and focus on your surroundings. Your home knows what it needs. If you listen well enough, it will tell you.
Once you’ve made the decision to clear out the energy from your home, it’s time to get to work. But what does clearing a space even mean? Well, you are going to be removing all energy from the space. This process clears out the energy, both good, bad, and otherwise, to leave room to call in what you want. If it makes it easier, you can think of this as an energetic cleaning rather than a physical one, though the two may look similar and utilize similar tools. This is step one of a good home protection spell.
One of the easiest methods of clearing a space is to clear it as you clean it. Charge your cleaning supplies with your magickal intention. You can do this by holding them firmly or holding your hands over them and speaking your words of intention over them. This could sound something like, “As I physically clean my space, so too do my cleaning supplies clear my home of unwanted energies and entities.” Then you use them to physically clean your space. At the same time, the energy you put forward to charge your supplies will also magickally clear the space.
Another method of clearing your space would be through the use of smoke or sound. You can burn special incense or herbs that have cleansing properties. One popular herb to burn for cleansing is rosemary, but any that you find clearing will work just as well. If you can’t use smoke you can cleanse with sound through clapping or bells. You can also use homemade cleansing sprays, too.
Once you’ve cleared your space, you will want to call something in to fill it. This step is optional, but keep in mind that nature doesn’t like a vacuum and nothing is truly empty for long. Use this step to call in the energy you want in your home. This can be done by playing some calming music, burning some relaxing or joyful incense, or decorating your home with pleasant flowers. Again, this can all be customized to suit your needs and desires for your space.
Once your space is cleared and you have called in the energy you want, now it’s time to protect that energy. We are going to be making a salt powder to be used at the thresholds of our home. For this step, be sure to have some salt on hand. Salt is a wonderful protective ingredient to use in your powders, and for this recipe, it is the base ingredient. Salt is good for repelling and absorbing negative energy, keeping the energy that crosses your threshold in line with your intentions.
Along with salt, here are some more ideas of protective herbs you can include in your recipe.
This powder is designed to protect your home with good energy and keep it free from problems. Support the magickal maintenance of your home with this protection powder.
Salt – absorbs and repels negative energy
Rosemary – for protection (can substitute other protective herbs)
Jar or Bowl – for mixing the ingredients together

Items You Will Need:
White candle
Whatever tools you use for divination, such as tarot cards, runes, crystal ball, etc.
Not every form of divination works for every Witch. Sometimes it take trial and error to discover which one work the best for you. If you are having a hard time seeing clearly, try doing this before attempting a reading. It is also a good one to do if the issue at hand is very important.
If you still have a hard time seeing the answers you seek, you can try having your familiar help by giving them a choice of tarot cards or runes stones, and seeing which one they pick.
You can call on any God or Goddess for this spell. Apollo is used here because he was the patron God of the Oracle at Delphi, probably the most famous center of divination in the ancient world.
Great Apollo Farseeing and wise Help me see clearly As if through your eyes Bless now these tools And the one who will see And send me your vision Of what is to be Help me set aside feelings That get in the way So I might see true In my reading today.So Mote It Be

Working with the different phases of the moon is an important skill that takes a bit of time for Witches to learn. So why not cut to the chase and experiment with the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon in all of its magickal energies and aspects?
Magickally, Monday encourages the lunar energies of inspiration, illusion, prophetic dreams, emotions, psychic abilities, travel, women’s mysteries, and fertility.

The card I pulled for everybody today is: The Art of Life: This reveals: “There’s no sacred light in the aura of an invisible life. Be bold in your skin, let your love dance in sight.
Now this card also reveals to me that we all hide to a certain degree. It could be what we practice that we hide, or it could be hiding who we really are.
Now, is the time to stand bold and stop living the invisible life. Stand up for your beliefs and who you are.
I am a witch, a healer, a psychic medium, a card reader, and Native American. I was afraid of revealing this but one day I decided the Creator gave me these gifts and so now I stand proud.
Many blessings!!!!


Forget fortune-telling, tarot has many more applications as we’ve suggested previously in Uses for Tarot Cards. In this post, we’re going to focus on using the cards for self improvement and learning how to apply them to strengthen your optimism and resilience. Two qualities we all need to live life fully.
We’re going to give you two exercises, which you can do in order, or just pick the one you like. There are no rules.
Firstly, of course, you need a tarot deck. It’s completely up to you which one you use. Just make sure the images speak to you. The idea is to let them open up new possibilities and to help you extend your thoughts and emotions. If the artwork doesn’t appeal to you, it’s not going to help. Pen and paper will also be necessary.

Rune of harvest and reward for, or reaction to, right actions in a horizontal (naturally ordered) cyclical process. Rune of peace on the land and in the heart.
Psi: psychological time, patience, the measurement of time
Energy: good harvest, orbits, cycles, progress, biorhythms, right effort
Mundane: waiting, gardening, farming, the seasons, harvest
Divinations: Reward for positive action, plenty, peace, proper timing; or repetition, bad timing, poverty, conflict, regression.
Governs:
Fertility, creativity and harmony with the land
Peace, prosperity and plenty
Realization of the cyclical nature of the multiverse, invoking the power of time and cycles
Bringing other concepts gently into material manifestation
Initiating gradual and lasting change in flow of life

The Wave
Meaning: This rune symbolizes your friends and family and their influence upon you. Its meaning is usually derived from the other stones closest to it. This rune is also associated with travel. A journey abroad is indicated especially if the Sun rune is nearby, but a journey for someone close to you if the Moon stone is closest. If it is near to the Rings it foretells a holiday or long distance relationship.

Keywords: inner strength, vision, self control!Astrological Correspondence: LeoThe Strength card, depicting a gracious queen-like figure and a wild lion, shows that real strength has to be combined with graciousness and gentleness to become a force. It symbolizes inner strength, determination to overcome obstacles, self-knowledge and self-discipline, as only when we know ourselves and act in a responsible manner will we be able to deal with challenging situations and overcome difficulties successfully. Yet this card not only represents physical strength; moral and emotional strength are also included in the meaning. Patience, compassion, dealing with frustration, accepting of others, and tolerating imperfection (in oneself and in others) all leads to being a complete person. The negative qualities of Strength include misuse of power, aggressiveness, and intolerance. ![]()
The reversed Hermit asks you to think about whether you miss appropriate partnerships because you place yourself in inappropriate relationships. Mismatched relationships represent little common ground, but they often become battlegrounds. When we are lonely, we are more likely to make poor love choices. If you are in a union, do you feel lonely and misunderstood? It is time to correct that situation. Talk about it with your partner.![]()

You have always been a strong person, as would quickly be seconded by your friends and family. However, strength without control is meaningless. Your biggest enemy is not drive, but direction. If you forget what is truly important in your life, such as love and faith, then you can find yourself using brute strength to get through the day just scraping by at work and in your relationships. Be aware of how your efforts align with your values in life.![]()
When you get the Star card in a reading, you can look forward to a time of rest and rejuvenation in regard to your work and career. You may have the opportunity now to take a vacation or, at the very least, you can get a break from your regular routine. Take full advantage of this time, soaking up whatever healing, nourishing, and enlivening opportunities come your way.![]()

The Birch tree is known as a pioneering species, which means it is often first to colonize open ground following a disturbance or fire. Because of this natural fact Beith is the first letter of the Ogham alphabet. It symbolizes birth, renewal, and new beginnings. The Beith symbol appearing is a true sign that a change has occurred or will occur.
Fortune – Drawing this Ogham is a way of telling you to look for a new path, a necessary change is on the way!

In many religious traditions the apple is a mystical or forbidden fruit. Yet to the Celts it was the food of the Gods. Despite it’s often bad reputation it is clear that the apple is a source of nutrition, health, and sustenance. That is why we read this ogham letter has having to do with life, health, and healing… a Quert a day keeps the bad vibes away!
Fortune – Take a good look at your mental and physical health. This Ogham is a warning to be mindful of nutrition and healing, take care of yourself!

This thorny tree is known for it’s negative uses over the years. It has been used for cattle proofing with its thorns, the berries have been turned into alcohol, and the thorns were once dipped in poison as a weapon. Drawing this letter brings forth ideas of pain, negativity, pessimism, and potential conflict. If Straif comes up in your reading it is very wise to pay attention to any warnings.
Fortune – This Ogham can denote very bad signs ahead. Pay very close attention to matters in life that way you can avoid the warning that you were given
Try wearing some honeysuckle-scented perfume to encourage prosperity. Bewitch someone by wearing deep royal blue or brighten up a dreary day by wearing lucky, prosperity-drawing green.

Bake up a loaf of wheat bread for the family, and celebrate abundance and be thankful for all that you have.
