Spell – A- Day – Rune Meditation for Clearing Energy Flow c. 2011

Spell – A- Day – Rune Meditation for Clearing Energy Flow
Incense of the day: Peony

We have all felt the frustration of spells that flop. While it’s possible that a failed spell is just an indication that the universe has another agenda for you, it’s also very possible that there is a hidden obstacle in the energy flow. Issues with confidence and empowerment are among the greatest saboteurs that block energy. The runes of Ken (k), Haegl (h), and Gyfu (g) will be used in a guided imagery to open and uncover disruptions and to balance the chakra energy flow. Visualize Ken over the root chakra. Focus on opening the energies flowing from your root to your crown. Reveal any blockages by positioning Haegl over your root chakra. Visualize this rune uncovering disruptions as its energy flows to your crown. Return Haegl’s flow from the crown to the root, uncovering any “manifestation” blockages. Visualize Gyfu flowing from your root to your crown to balance your chakra energy. Focus on and journal any feelings or perceptions that you encountered. Reprogram any obstacles that were uncovered.

A Thought for Today – Daily Zen Thought c. 2011

If you want to perceive
And understand objectively,
Just don’t allow yourself
To be confused by people.
Detach from whatever you
Find inside or outside yourself.
Detach from religion,
Tradition, and society,
And only then will you
Attain liberation.
When you are not
Entangled in things,
You pass through
Freely to autonomy.

– Linji (d. 867)

To Those Of Your Celebrating Imbolc Today, May The Goddess Bless You On This Glorious Imbolc Morn’! c. 2019

It depends on your Tradition which day you celebrate Imbolc. We celebrated it yesterday and I know some of you might celebrate it today. We generally celebrate our Sabbats the day before for a reason. For instance, we celebrate Imbolc last night. We did our rituals, lit our fires, run out the old stale Winter air and the season, hopefully. We did some cleansing and we have a lot more to do today. We had a good feast and in spite of being so sleepy, we managed to stay up to greet the morning’s first light. The joy of celebrating the night before, it just unbelievable. You get to stay up and greet the new born Sun on one of the most glorious mornings of all, Imbolc. You can feel the freshness as the new born Sun comes over the horizon. As He rises His head and proclaims victory and Spring will return to us shortly. The magick courses through your veins and it seems you are recharged and ready to take on anything that comes your way. As the warmth of the Sun courses through your veins, you feel your magick grow and grow, till you feel like you are the most powerful witch on the face of Mother Earth.

We have made celebrating the Sabbats the night before a habit. If you have never done it, you need to try it. Just go outside and wait for the Sun to come up. You can feel the magick in the air as you welcome Him back. It is so magickal that you can actually hear the Sun talk back to you with His warm rays of light shining down upon you. I cannot explain it fully. It is something you have to experience for yourself. It re-generates your spirit and your soul. You feel the darkest of the Winter months fall off of you. You know when you see the Sun on this special day, it is a fresh start, a new season, a season of rebirth. It is truly a season for us to celebrate, the Sun has returned to us and with this we are promised the season of renewal and birth. Mother Earth is going to come back to life. The birds will sing, the grass will turn green, the flowers will bloom once again, life has come out of hibernation, it is awakening. Awakening to a new start, a new season, what a beautiful time of year this is. I can imagine you have figured out by now Imbolc is one of my favorite Sabbats.

Imbolc is a time for truly rejoicing. Go outside today and let the warmth of the Sun renew your spirit and fill your soul with the hope and joy the new season ahead holds for us.

Wishing You & Yours A Very Joyous & Beautiful Imbolc,

Lady of the Abyss

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 6:45 AM to 3:30 PM EST today (3:45 AM to 12:30 PM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

After the Moon Alert today, you will love to cocoon at home and relax among familiar surroundings. Prior to this, make no promises. Don’t volunteer for anything. Resist the urge to shop for anything other than food or gas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

During the Moon Alert today, avoid important financial decisions or spending money. (Except for food or gas.) Afterwards, you will be keen to talk to others and pull loose ends together; or take a short trip and learn something new.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a tricky day because from 6:45 AM to 3:30 PM EST today (3:45 AM to 12:30 PM PST), there is a Moon Alert, which means this is a poor time to make important decisions or spend money on anything other than food or gas. Be aware of this.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

When the Moon Alert is over, the Moon will move into your sign, which will give you a slight advantage over all the other signs. However, it will also make you more emotional. You can use this to your advantage by asking for what you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

After the Moon Alert is over today, enjoy socializing with friends and groups. But during the time of the Moon Alert, postpone important decisions and expenditures. Wait until 3:30 PM EST (12:30 PM PST) to act freely!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Time spent with friends and groups will be easy going and friendly today. However, during the Moon Alert, avoid important decisions. Explore ideas about goals for the future but don’t commit to anything until 3:30 PM EST (12:30 PM PST).

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today there is a Moon Alert taking place at the top of your chart, which is why it’s important not to volunteer for anything or agree to anything when talking to bosses, parents, teachers or authority figures. Wait until 3:30 PM EST (12:30 PM PST) to act.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

During the Moon Alert today, which will take place for about 9 hours (a big chunk of the day), it’s a poor time to make important decisions, especially financial ones about inheritances or shared property. It’s also a poor time to shop for anything other than food or gas. Be aware of this. (See above.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In some ways, it will be best to cooperate with others today, especially partners and close friends. Nevertheless, during the Moon Alert, you don’t want to agree to anything important. You might regret this later. Therefore, stay on your toes. Be diplomatic and be careful.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a dicey day at work because until 3:30 PM EST (12:30 PM PST), there is a Moon Alert, which can make things quite loosey-goosey. This is also a poor time for agreements and important decisions. Be aware of this and wait until this window of time is over to commit to anything important.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a creative day for you because your mind is freewheeling and willing to think outside of the box. In fact, write down your creative ideas for later consideration. This is also a lovely social, fun-loving day. Enjoy good times with children.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

After the Moon Alert is over today, which is 3:30 PM EST (12:30 PM PST), you will feel playful and eager to socialize! Make plans to socialize with friends. This will also be an excellent time to enjoy the arts, sport events and romantic adventures.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Julia Garner (1994) shares your birthday today. You are an optimist with a strong spirit. You have a firm sense of morals and value justice. (With a rebellious streak.) This year is a time of new beginnings, adventures and major changes in your life. Keep your eyes open for new opportunities because it’s time to take action, initiative and define your goals.

From MoonGiant.com

The Full Moon for this month will occur early in the month on Sunday, February 5th. The New Moon will happen later in February on Monday, February 20th.

February’s Full Moon

As the snowiest month in the United States, February’s full moon is commonly known as the Full Snow Moon in Native American cultures. These ancient tribes named this moon after the way trees cracked in the cold, or how people had to sit shoulder to shoulder around the fire for warmth. Even the Celts called it the Moon of Ice. As expected of the coldest month in the year, the Full Snow Moon is also known by more sinister names, such as the Bone Moon.

The Cherokee tribe called February’s full moon the Bone Moon because by this point, the tribe’s winter food supplies had usually dwindled to the point where people had to gnaw on bones and cook bone marrow soup in order to survive. For the same reason, the Kalapuya tribe called this moon the Out of Food Moon. Appropriately, it’s also known as the Hunger Moon and the Little Famine Moon. Perhaps due to this month’s association with death, the Cherokee tribe would commune with their dead ancestors during the Bone Moon. A didanawiskawi, or a medicine person, would host a medicine dance for the community. Fasting and rituals for the dead were also common practices.

However, not all cultures associate February’s full moon with extreme cold and death. The Hopi tribe calls it the Moon of Purification and Renewal, which is very fitting because the Full Snow Moon is usually the very first full moon of the year according to the lunar calendar. Cultures that follow the lunar calendar, especially East Asian cultures, tend to associate the Full Snow Moon with new beginnings for this very reason. The ancient Chinese, for example, called it the Budding Moon.

As a matter of fact, celebrations of February’s full moon are the climax of Lunar New Year festivities in various East Asian countries. In China, the Full Snow Moon is celebrated during the Lantern Festival, also known as the Yuanxiao Festival, which is the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. During this festival, the Chinese release kongming lanterns into the sky as they admire the full moon and eat tangyuan, glutinous rice balls that are usually filled with sweet paste. The round shape of the balls symbolize family togetherness and bring good luck to the whole family.

Many East Asian cultures in general also light lanterns and bonfires to celebrate February’s full moon. According to an ancient Chinese legend, not long after Buddhism was brought into China, 17 deities were witnessed flying through the sky during the first full moon of the Lunar New Year. Shocked and excited, the populace lit fires and lanterns to see the godly beings better. They continued to do so year after year, but for more practical reasons – to chase away pests and to pray for a good crop in the upcoming spring.

In Korea, where February’s full moon is known as Daeboreum, these fiery structures are called “Houses of the Burning Moon”. During Daeboreum, Koreans hike mountains despite the freezing temperatures in order to catch a glimpse of the first rise of the first full moon of the Lunar New Year. According to legend, the very first person to accomplish this feat will have their dearest wish come true.

February 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Gardening by the Moon Zodiac Sign (Element) – Legend

Biodynamic Calendar – Icon Legend
	Leaf days (Water Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants from which the intention is to use Leaves and Stems. Ex: Cabbage, Salads, Lettuce, Spinach, Green onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Celeriac. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Harvesting in Leaf days is not recommended (products start decomposing in a shorter time). Beekeeping: Working with the hive is not recommended in Leaf days.
	Fruit days (Fire Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants that produce Fruits and Seeds. Ex: Cherry, Strawberry, Tomato, Pea, Bean, Corn, Pumpkin, Nut, Cereal, Courgette. Harvesting in Fruit days allows fruits and seeds to have a better storage quality. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Beekeeping: Fruit days stimulate the collection of nectar. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.
	Root days (Earth Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate Root plants and Root vegetables. Ex: Carrot, Turnip, but also Potato, Beet-root, Garlic, Onion, Leek. Crop should be stored in Root days. Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
	Flower days (Air Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant, cultivate and harvest Flower plants or herbs used for medicinal purposes. Flowers, if cut in these days, have a more intense scent and endure longer. Leaf plants should be harvested in these Flower days. Beekeeping: Flower days stimulate brood activity and colony development. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.

Gardening by the Moon Phase – Legend
	NEW MOON Time to rest, celebrate and meditate.
	NEW MOON PHASE New Moon -» First Quarter (Waxing Crescent) – Moonlight is increasing – Strongest gravitational pull – Soil releases / Earth exhales / Energy draws UP into upper planets Sow/Plant: Above ground Leaf plants, Cereals, Grains, Lawns, Herbs, Cucumbers. Jobs: Graft, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to increase growth).
	FIRST QUARTER PHASE First Quarter -» Full Moon (Waxing Gibbous) – Moonlight becomes stronger – Gravitational pull is a little less now – Soil releases / Earth exhales / Energy draws UP into upper planets Sow/Plant: Above ground Fruit plants (with “inside seeds” such as Tomatoes, Peppers, Peas and Bean), Cereals, Grains, Lawns and Flowers. Jobs: Graft, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to increase growth). Planting and Grafting take best if done two days just before the Full Moon.
	FULL MOON Time to rest, celebrate and meditate. Pick medicinal herbs and plants.
	FULL MOON PHASE Full Moon -» Last Quarter (Waning Gibbous) – Moonlight is decreasing – Gravitational pull is decreasing – Soil absorbs / Earth inhales / Energy draws DOWN into the Roots Sow/Plant: Below ground Root plants such as Potatoes, Carrots & Onions. Plant trees, shrubs, biennials & perennials. Jobs: Harvest all crops, Fertilize, Transplant, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to reduce growth).
	LAST QUARTER PHASE Last Quarter -» New Moon (Waning Crescent) – Moonlight has decreased – Gravitational pull has decreased – Soil absorbs / Earth inhales / Energy draws DOWN into the Roots Barren phase: Time to rest and prepare for the next New Moon.

A Lucky Pig Spell for Good Fortune in Every Way

Pigs are symbols of good fortune and prosperity in many cultures. Piggie banks, with a slot for coins, are a symbol of accumulated wealth. Some have an opening in the bottom to retrieve the money when the pig is full; others are made of pottery and designed to be broken. A new piggy bank should be started with a coin from the old one to ensure consuming prosperity.

Items You Will Need:

A piggy bank; a gold-colored candle; a gold-colored coin that you have been given the day before the spell (for example as change in making a purchase).

When To Cast:

On a Wednesday, as it gets light.

The Spell:

Light the candle and place the piggy bank where the light will shine on it.
Pass the coin around the candle flame seven times deosil (clockwise) saying for each pass: “Increased be luck and prosperity.”
Put the coin in the piggy bank and silently make a wish for whatever good fortune you need in your life.
Blow out the candle.
Each day re-light the candle, past another golden coin (from any source) seven times round the candle, as you do so chanting the words seven times. Put the coin in the piggy bank, repeating the wish silently or making a different one. Again blow out the candle.
Continue these actions and the chant until the candle is burnt through or the pig is full. Then replace the candle or empty the piggy bank (keeping back one coin to start filling the pig again). Spend the rest of the money on a small treat you can share with your family or friends.
