Butterfly

Every person has their guardian spirit animal. An energy that is assigned to them and that is responsible for a person’s well-being and good luck.

During ancient times, people believed that universal force that was preserved in an animal form and was not seen by the normal human eye was a blessing that came from the heavenly realms itself.

Tribes had spirit animals that guarded them and represented their powers. Magicians, people who were practicing spirituality and were deeply connected to nature, always had their power animal – a divine force that helped them to create most of out of life experiences.

It is important to mention, that there are all types of spirit animals and they differ from each other drastically. Some represent authority, some represent docile caring nature and they all have their virtues and merits.

Once you understand the very personal traits of each spirit animal, you will be able to work on establishing a connection with it. Once the tie is entrenched and you feel very close to your spirit animal’s energy, you will feel how strong and unbreakable you can become.

Want to attract good fortune and pleasant experiences in life? Then connecting to a spirit animal will help you to gain that power over your destiny.

Butterfly as a spirit animal represents transformation, the joy of life, and pure love.

Meaning and Symbolism of the Butterfly as Spirit Animal

The butterfly symbolizes constant renewal and metamorphosis, it flies through the sunny fields and seeks joy and happiness. It’s a great symbol of inner and outer beauty and divine power.

Even if a butterfly looks fragile at a first glance, it still might be the strongest and most resilient spirit animal, because of its ability to go through heavy transformation phases. To embrace the change, a huge amount of inner energy is needed, and for the process to be successful, you need to be very patient with yourself. That is what a butterfly as a spirit animal is all about – finding enough inner strength to not give up and calmly go through important lifetime transformations and find the joy of renewal during this interval.

The butterfly as a spirit animal is often associated with harmony and balance. They always bring delight to people around them and it’s a good luck charm in its special way.

This spirit animal is hope, it is a sign of light at the end of the tunnel – anticipation that no matter how hard life gets, you will always make it through it and achieve what you desired.

Uillean

Ui (sometimes interpreted as Pe) is Uillean, the Honeysuckle. Associated with the manifestation of will, the Honeysuckle starts as a small seed and creeps along, growing and spreading over time. Honeysuckle twists and spirals up and over its surroundings, its soft yellow flowers releasing a sweet scent. It is the flower of unspoken desire, hidden needs, secret wants, but it also represents our goals of finding our true Self.

From a medicinal standpoint, the honeysuckle can be useful as well. Dioscorides says,

“the ripe seed gathered and dried in theshadow and drunk for four days together, doth waste and consume away the hardness of the spleen and removeth wearisomeness, helpeth the shortness and difficulty of breathing, cureth the hicket (hiccough), etc. A syrup made of the flowers is good to be drunk against diseases of the lungs and spleen.”

Uillean Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means you need to allow yourself the freedom to pursue your desire. If you’ve got hopes or dreams that are unattained, now is your time to start considering whether they’re remain just dreams, or become reality. Denying yourself the chance to enjoy life is unfair.

Magical Aspects: Take the time to experience joy, but make sure you stay true to your values and beliefs as well. In many Wiccan traditions, the Charge of the Goddess is quoted as a reminder of this: All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Another aspect of this symbol is that sometimes, mysteries which seem to be hidden may not be as hard to delve into as you think–sometimes, you’ve just been sidetracked by distractions.

Hexagram Fifty-five/55

Name: Feng.

Keyphrase: Abundance.

Formed By The Trigrams: Thunder over Fire.

General: Make sure you provide for the future even though you are at the peak of success.

Love: Enjoy and celebrate the success of your relationship.

Business: Even though you are currently very successful make sure you make plans for the future.

Personal: This is a very successful time for you. Make the most of your success for lasting benefits.

Overview: Feng appears when everything is currently very successful. It is a remind that although it is fine to enjoy this period you should not make the mistake of thinking this period will last forever. Everything is transient. Success, like adversity is just as transient. Enjoy this period of life by all means but make plans to provide for the future when times may not be so beneficial. Celebration is appropriate but guard against making foolish decisions. Major success is all too rare to be taken lightly.

…

The Moon phase for May 21st, 2026 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact:

Phase Details:

Phase: Waxing Crescent

Moon age: 4.94 days

Blue Jay

Oh, the Blue Jay! Through the magic of symbolism, the Blue Jay teaches us to follow our feelings and intuition. As a spirit animal, it reminds us that our personal power is in our own hands and that we are free to take flight at any time, which is another way of saying that we have the freedom to choose our own path in life. The Blue Jay is playful yet serious, curious and yet sly, intelligent and cunning. It is also wise and perceptive. Whether a friend or foe, the Blue Jay teaches us how to be realistic and yet optimistic, careful and yet daring. In its expression of personal power, it symbolizes how we can rise above obstacles and challenges in our life.

Huath

Barriers, toil, hard work, obstacles

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.)

Letter: H

Huath indicates an obstacle or series of obstacles that must be overcome with no going around. This could mean learning a subject, for instance playing the piano, and the infamous 10,000 hours of practice any instrument requires to attain mastery.

Huath is a task that you must go through the long haul to make happen. For instance, Huath could be overcoming your own self-destructive behavior or getting over an obsession. It could also be starting the business of one’s dreams or mastering a field of study. Any way you slice it, there are no short cuts. The task at hand takes patience and immersion. You must look at the task from all sides, brainstorm it — Huath is the Spirit of Fire for a reason — and understand its limits. Forcing a route will simply not work. Huath is the idea that worthwhile goals often require personal sacrifice and perseverance through challenges. Look at the goal as no less than a test of your own character. Many lifetimes have brought you to this. Rise to the occasion. Be determined, even when the rest of life tries to distract you, deter you, and defeat your best efforts. The physical plane is designed to beat you down; that is this plane and it sucks. Too bad. Figure it out. Master yourself first, cast no blame, and learn to adapt to challenges.

I Ching

Hexagram Twenty – Nine / 29

K’an / Dangerously Deep

Water follows Water, spilling over any cliff, flowing past all obstacles, no matter the depth or distance, to the Sea.
The Superior Person learns flexibility from the mistakes he has made, and grows strong from the obstacles he has overcome, pressing on to show others the Way.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are facing a crucial trial along your Journey.
The danger of this challenge is very real.
It is a test of your mettle.
If you can maintain your integrity and stay true to your convictions, you will overcome.
That’s not as easy as it seems when you are faced with the sacrifice of other things you’ve come to depend upon or hold dear.

Being a Taurus born on May 19th…

 Astrological symbol: Bull. This is representative for stubborn individuals who are also patient and tactful. It influences people born between April 20 and May 20 when the Sun is in Taurus, the second zodiac sign.

 The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest star being Aldebaran. It covers an area of 797 square degrees. It lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East, covering visible latitudes between +90° and -65°.

 The Spanish call it Tauro while the French use the name Taureau for the May 19 zodiac sign but the real origin of the Bull is in the Latin Taurus.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This suggests excitement and authority but also means that this sign and Taurus can create an opposition aspect at some point, not to mention that opposites attract.

 Modality: Fixed. The modality reveals the volunteering nature of those born on May 19 and their caution and majestic sense in treating life in general.

 Ruling house: The second house. This zodiac placement governs material possession and all resources an individual gathers in time, whether we’re talking about money, friendships or moral principles.

 Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet reveals experience and determination and also highlights seriousness. Venus is considered the yin side while Mars is the yang side.

 Element: Earth. This is an element that easily combines with the other three and while it lets itself be shaped by water and fire it incorporates air, this being similar to the reactions of those born under the May 19 sign when in relation to the other elements.

 Lucky day: Friday. This is a day ruled by Venus, therefore deals with support and appreciation. It suggests the passionate nature of Taurus natives.

 Lucky numbers: 3, 7, 15, 16, 27.

 Motto: “I own!”

 People born on May 19 are constant and steadfast but also very accommodating and accepting people. Just like a true Taurus, they have a tender and malleable frame of mind and they are usually tranquil, unless of course they are provoked. They enjoy owning as many material holdings as possible and having mates around at all times. They dislike emotions of uncertainty and settings that ask for rapid transformation. Those born under this sign like to spend time in the highest circles of society, surrounded by very potent people.

 Positive Traits: These natives have a great deal of generosity and elegancy but they seem to show how kind hearted they truly are to people who are as honorable and conscientious as themselves. Therefore they tend to create some sort of circle of confidence around them and are always open for those who’ve won their respect.

 Negative Traits: These natives are self indulgent and lazy at times and their preferred negative leisure time activity is dwelling in past behaviors and getting all frustrated about what they see as chances missed. They are greedy and selfish when they have the chance and sometime they don’t even realize how they prove they have such a narrow vision. They are easily offended and very positive with those dearest to you but this only happens when those people allow them to behave this way.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 19 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.

 They believe in love at first sight and don’t need much time to get attached to someone. They are persons of extremes in love and sometimes this attitude will have them prone to disappointment. A passionate lover prone to jealousy fits when madly in love. They offer everything they have to their loved one and ask for the same. They are likely to fall in love at a young age as they are attractive and positive persona. Regarding their family life, they will marry when they are completely ready and they will probably be cool parents if they choose to have a one big family. They are most compatible with those born on 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 31st.

 May 19 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is in a permanent search for someone to keep them active and interested and the most suitable to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is said to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: The lucky color for those born under the May 19 is represented by green.

Green suggests the fertility or nature that regenerates each and every time. Green is a safe color that transmits balance and harmony. This zodiac color should be used in objects around the house and accessories.

People having green as sign color are balanced, friendly and down to earth nurturers by choice. Green is favored by lively, generous people that have high moral standards and for whom doing the right thing is most important.

Other colors that suit Taurus natives are pink, yellow and most earth tones.

Representative Birthstone: The magnificent Emerald is the representative Taurus birthstone for those born under the May 19.

Emerald symbolizes rebirth and is in a strong relation with the goddess of life. This zodiac birthstone should be used in pendants, bracelets and other accessories.

This birthstone is beneficial for the heart, lungs, pancreas and eyesight and is also said to be a great immune booster. This stone can be found in Colombia, Brazil and Zambia.

Another gemstone considered influential for Taurus natives is Lapis Lazuli. It suggests honesty and intelligence.

Characteristic Flower: Poppy is the flower of preference for Taurus natives, especially those born under the May 19.

Poppy is a plant that symbolizes refinery and sensibility of the soul. The zodiac flower could be used in gifts and decorative items.

It was considered to symbolize eternal life and remembering of the lost souls. This flower can be enjoyed during late spring for about two weeks.

Other plants indicated for Taurus are Violets and Lilies.

Symbolic Metal: The metal used in astrology for those with May 19 is Copper.

Copper is known to represent a helping and creative nature. This zodiac metal should be used in bracelets and other accessories.

Copper is a metal of currency and prosperity. One of the first materials discovered by mankind, this metal is said to bring prosperity and influence romantic affairs.

Another metal considered influential for Taurus natives is Steel.

Characteristics: May 19 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of TAURUS (May 11-May 20). This decan is influenced by the planet Saturn. Those born under this influence combine the connections and ambitions of Taurus with the financial wisdom of Saturn. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Taurus zodiac sign with a great accent on the negative ones.

 Being born on the 19th day of the month suggests idealism, independence and a highly competitive, detail oriented individual. The numerology for May 19 is 1. This number reveals revels leadership qualities, great will power and an original approach to life, all wrapped in a charming personality. Those Taurus can only be proud of this association as this is the number of achievers, of those who see the bigger picture and are set to follow their goals no matter what. May is the fifth month of the year, bringing great opportunities for starting courageous endeavors. Those born in May are imaginative and understanding. May 19 Zodiac people are motivated and enterprising.

Apollo’s Devotional Chant for Inspiration

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. You can find the origin of the spell by clicking on the hyperlink.)

Apollo’s Devotional Chant for Inspiration

In Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo is a standout god, born to Zeus and Leto and twin to the huntress Artemis. Over time, Apollo and the sun god Helios started to blend in people’s minds, similar to how Artemis got linked with Selene, the moon goddess. Despite this confusion in religious circles, myths and literature always kept Apollo and Helios, as well as Artemis and Selene, separate. The Etruscans also honored him as Aplu, showing Apollo’s wide-reaching influence in ancient cultures.

Light an orange candle during this devotional.

Incense for Apollo:

Frankincense, Vanilla, Cedar.

Offerings to Apollo:

Bay leaves, Olive oil, Wine, Sunflowers, Sunflower seeds.

In Greek mythology, Apollo is one of the most important and multifaceted Olympian gods.

The ideal of the young beardless, Apollo has been variously recognized as the god of truth and prophecy; archery; medicine and healing; music, poetry, healing, and more. In later times, Apollo became partially equated with Helios, the Sun god. But Apollo and Helios remained separated beings in literary and mythological texts. In Etruscan mythology he was known as Aplu.

Invoke Apollo’s power and bring inspiration, focus, concentration and creativity to your art, your new project or work. Use this chant as a morning ritual prayer, or combine it with a spell for good luck, healing, creativity and more.

Devotional text

Come blessed healer,

Bearing a golden lyre, generative, agrarian, Oracular one,

Wild, radiant divinity, lovely one, glorious son,

Cultivator of joy, whose arrows achieve their aim, mighty archer.

You who achieve from afar, prophet, holy one,

all-seeing eye bringing the light which shines on mortals,

Golden-haired, making clear oracular utterances,

Hear me with gracious soul as I pray on behalf of mankind.

Upon the blessed earth you look from above through the dark of night.

In the restful shadow of a night filled with stars,

You clearly see the root below and you arrange and support the boundary of all:

For the origin and completion are both in your care,

The cause of the blooming of all things,

with your resonant lyre you command the axis of the heavens,

Placing all in harmony, by which, indeed, you advance to the lowest pitch,

Elsewhere to the highest, at times playing in the Dorian mode,

Tempering all the poles you keep the tribes of living creatures distinct.

Let inspiration come to me.

Support my quest for creativity.

Make my imagination unlimited.

And my mind open to new ideas as I manifest my talents.

Let me surround myself with creative people.

So I can be in touch with my creative source.

Help me release any resistance to fully expressing my creativity.

Give me the time to think, to relax and focus.

Powerful spirit, express yourself in all possible ways.

Let inspiration flow so that I can easily express myself.

My creative work fills you with joy,

And anything can be my source of inspiration.

I promise to always look out for new experiences.

To recognize and overcome my limitations.

If you eliminate all mental blockages, remove barriers,

And any habits that oppress my inspiration.

Dear Apollo, come to me.

You have mingled harmony into the share of all mortal men,

Giving each an equal measure of winter and summer,

The highest three strings in the winter, the lowest in the summer,

The Dorian mode produces the lovely and blooming spring.

Thereupon the mortals celebrate and call you lord and

Pan, the two-horned God who sends the whistling winds,

Wherefore you form and bear the seal of the entire Cosmos.

Hear, happy one, the supplicating voices of the initiates and save them.

Gods – Ra Egyptian Sun God

Ra The Sun God of Egypt

The ancient Egyptians revered Ra as the god who created everything. Also known as the Sun God, Ra was a powerful deity and a central god of the Egyptian pantheon. The ancient Egyptians worshiped Ra more than any other god and pharaohs often connected themselves with Ra in their efforts to be seen as the earthly embodiment of the Sun God.

Ra Mythology

The ancient Egyptians believed that as the sun god, Ra’s role was to sail across the heavens during the day in his boat called the “Barque of Millions of Years.” In the morning when Ra emerged from the east, his boat was named, “Madjet” which meant “becoming strong.” By the end of the day the boat was called, “Semektet” which meant “becoming weak.” At the end of the day, it was believed that Ra died (swallowed by Nut) and sailed on to the underworld, leaving the moon in his place to light up the world. Ra was reborn at dawn the very next day. During his journey across the heavens during the day, he fought with his main enemy, an evil serpent named Apep, or also, The Lord of Chaos. In some stories, Ra, in the form of a cat named Mau, defeats the evil serpent, Apep. This is part of the reason why cats are so highly-revered in Egypt.

Ra created himself from the primordial chaos. He is also known as Re and Atum. His children are Shu, the God of Dry Air and Father of the Sky, and his twin sister Tefnut, the Goddess of Moisture and Wetness. As a lion-headed goddess, Tefnut is responsible for dew and freshness. Humans were created from Ra’s tears.

Although Ra was highly revered and devoutly worshiped by the ancient Egyptians, there is a story to suggest he eventually grew weak. In the Legend of Ra, Isis and the Snake, as Ra grew old, he dribbled saliva. Isis knew that Ra’s power was hidden in his secret name. Isis gathered Ra’s saliva and created a snake out of it. She set the snake in Ra’s path and it bit him. Isis wanted the power Ra had always enjoyed, but she knew she had to get him to tell her his secret name. Eventually, because of the pain he was in, Ra allowed Isis to “search through him” and in so doing, she healed him and Ra’s power was transferred over to her.

The Tree of Life is an important religious symbol to the Egyptians. The Tree of Life was located within Ra’s sun temple in Heliopolis and was considered sacred. The fruit that sprang from this tree was not available to humans, but only in aging-rituals reserved for pharaohs. The Tree of Life is also referred to as the mythical, sacred Ished tree. Eternal life came to those who ate the fruit from the Tree of Life.

Another important ancient Egyptian symbol connected to Ra is the “Bennu”. Bennu is the name of the bird that represented Ra’s soul. This bird is a phoenix and it was seated at the Tree of Life in Ra’s Sun Temple in Heliopolis. Inside the temple, on top of an obelisk, sat the Benben Stone. This pyramid-shaped stone served as a beacon to Bennu and is also an important ancient Egyptian religious symbol.

Worship of the Sun God

Solar temples were built for Ra but did not contain a statue of the god. Instead, they were created to be open to the sunlight that Ra represented. The earliest known temple built in honor of Ra exists in Heliopolis (what is now a Cairo suburb). This solar temple is known as “Benu-Phoenix” and is believed to have been erected in the exact spot where Ra emerged into creation.

Although Ra dates back to the second dynasty, he is not the oldest of the Egyptian gods. It wasn’t until the fifth dynasty that Ra became closely associated with the pharaoh. As the king and leader of Egypt, the pharaoh was seen as the human manifestation of Horus, so the two gods became connected. This new deity fusion was then referred to as “Ra-Horakhty” meaning Ra is Horus of the Horizon. Ra’s relationship with other gods did not stop there. As the powerful creator of mankind and the sun god, he also became associated with Atum to make “Atum-Ra.”

Fifth Dynasty and subsequent pharaohs were all known as “The son of Ra” and Ra became incorporated into every pharaoh’s name from then onward. During the Middle Kingdom, the new deity, Amun-Ra was formed. Amun was one of the gods who formed the Ogdoad (the assembly of eight gods who represented eight elements of creation).

The New Kingdom brought new heights of worship to Ra. Many tombs in the Valley of the Kings portray depictions of Ra and his journey through the underworld. During this time, many solar temples were built.

Eye of Ra

Present in the ancient Egyptian mythology is the Eye of Ra, shown as the sun disk with two ‘uraeus’ cobras coiled around it, next to the white and red crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt. Initially associated with Horus (similarly to the wadjet, the Eye of Horus), the Eye of Ra shifted positions in the myths, becoming both an extension of Ra’s power and a separate entity altogether.

Ra God Facts

  • The ancient Egyptians worshiped Ra to such an extent above other gods that some historians have argued that ancient Egyptian religion was indeed a monotheistic one with Ra as the singular god.
  • Historians believe that the pyramids might represent rays of sunlight, further connecting the pharaohs with Ra, the sun god.
  • During Ra’s journey through the heavens he was accompanied by several other gods including Thoth, Horus, Hathor, Maat, Abtu, and Anet.
  • Nut, goddess of the sky and heavens, is sometimes referred to as Ra’s mother, because he emerges from her and is reborn every morning.
  • The morning manifestation of Ra is known as “Khepri the scarab God.”
  • The evening manifestation of Ra is known as the ram-headed god, Khnum.
  • The sacred cobra that encircled Ra’s crown symbolized royalty, sovereignty and divine authority.
  • The right eye of Ra represented the Sun; while the left eye of Ra represented the moon.
  • Ra is also closely associated with the Tree of Life myth, the Ben-Ben Stone and the Bennu Bird myths.
  • Ra’s glory came to an end during the time when the Roman’s conquered Egypt in 30BC.

Who is Ra?

Ra (pronounced ray) represents sunlight, warmth and growth. It was only natural that the ancient Egyptians would believe him to be the creator of the world, as well as part of him being represented in every other god. The ancient Egyptians believed that every god should illustrate some aspect of him, while Ra himself should also represent every god.

Ra’s Appearance

Ra was usually depicted in human form. He had a falcon head which is crowned with a sun disc. This sun disc was encircled by a sacred cobra named Uraeus. Ra has also been depicted as a man with the head of a beetle and also a human man with the head of a ram. The ancients also depicted Ra in full species form such as a serpent, heron, bull, lion, cat, ram, hawk, beetle, phoenix and others. His main symbol, however, is the sun disk.

Set Up An Altar for Ra Egyptian God of the Sun

Setting up an altar for the god Ra is a great way to invite him into your spiritual practice and life. It creates a meeting place for you and your god to connect and communicate. Any flat surface will work such as a table, nightstand, bookshelf, counter, etc. Then add things to represent Ancient Egypt and the god Ra to your altar including: crystal pyramids, a statue of Ra, the Eye of Ra symbol, candles, incense with an incense burner, sun decor, a bowl of water, etc. Cleanse and bless your Ra altar before use.

Wearing Ra Amulets Source: otherworldlyoracle.com

Traditionally, amulets were worn by Ra worshipers to invoke their beloved deity and to show their dedication. Select an amulet that means something to you, but also reminds you of the sun god’s unique qualities. Perhaps a stone the Egyptians revered such as lapis lazuli, quartz, turquoise, or onyx. More appropriately, a sunstone would make a great Ra amulet. Cleanse your new amulet, then ask Ra to imbue his power into it. I like to set my amulets on my gods’ altars to really soak up their energy. Then wear the amulet daily or during special sacred rituals in honor of Ra.
