A Little Humor for Your Day – You know you’re getting older when c. 2013

You know you’re getting older when…

 

Everything hurts, and what doesn’t hurt, doesn’t work.

The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.

You feel like the night before, and yo9u haven’t been anywhere.

Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.

You get winded playing chess.

Your children begin to look middle-aged.

You finally reach the top of the ladder, and you find it leaning against   the wrong wall.

You join a health club and don’t go.

You begin to outlive enthusiasm

You decide to procrastinate but never get around to it.

Your mind makes contracts your body can’t meet.

A dripping faucet causes uncontrollable bladder urge.

You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.

You look forward to a dull evening.

You walk with your head held high trying to get used to your bifocals.

Your favorite part of the newspaper is “Twenty-five Years Ago Today.”

You turn out the light for economic rather than romantic reasons.

You are startled the first time someone’s calls you Old-timer.

You remember today that yesterday was your wedding anniversary.

You just can’t stand people who are intolerant.

The best part of your day is over when the alarm clock goes off.

You burn the midnight oil after 9:00 p.m.

Your back goes out more often than you do.

Spell for Monday – CROSSROADS SPELL

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

A Crossroads candle spell is used when you cannot choose the left fork in the road or the right. This spell is for MAJOR decisions like moving, career, etc. I would strongly not suggest this spell for a choice between two men or women.

CROSSROADS SPELL

1 white candle
1 black candle
1 red candle
A packet of Cornnuts (original recipe) Toasted Corn
21 caramels
1 small bottle of rum
three cigars (unwrapped)
Three stick matches
21 pennies
 

Write a letter to the spirit of the Crossroads and tell him the situation that you cannot decide or which road or path to choose. Lay it out in good detail which is which – meaning, what will happen if you choose this road and what will happen if you choose that path.

Go to a 4 way crossroads at 11:30 pm preferably on a Sunday night, but any night will do if you need it NOW. Place letter in center of a 4 way crossroads (must be 4 way) that extends beyond 7 blocks in each direction. Place three candles in a triangle shape on letter, surrounded by the 21 pennies. Lay one cigar each at base of the candle. Place one of each of the stick matches in between each candle. Place caramels and open pack of Cornnuts and pour in center. Take a good draw of the rum into your mouth, swish it around, spit it in a spray-like pattern over all. Set rest of open bottle of rum down on paper. Light candles and walk away.

Do not, do not, DO NOT look back or look into rear view mirror when driving away.

Accept what happens and where this takes you.

Spell for Wednesday – Leaf Spell for Release

Leaf Spell for Release from thewitchandwand.com

Take a walk in nature and reflect on what no longer serves you. Collect a leaf and use it to cast this spell to let go pain and the past so you can summon peace and restore your sense of inner harmony.

I love casting this spell in fall, especially around the fall harvest festival known as Mabon. The fall is a wonderfully transformative time. As the leaves begin to change color and drop to the ground, we are reminded that sometimes we need to let go in order to change.

ITEMS NEEDED

leaf

ziploc bag

chopstick or something similar

STEPS

1. Go for a walk outside and reflect on what you would like to let go of

2. Collect a newly fallen leaf

3. Place the leaf in a ziploc bag and use the chopstick to “write” the thing you want to let go of on the leaf. Press on the leaf through the ziploc bag firmly enough to see the marks on the leaf, but be careful not to tear the leaf.

Take the leaf outside. Focus on releasing what no longer serves you and recite the incantation below. Let go of the leaf and release it back to nature.

“The past I leave with this leaf,

let go of pain and summon peace”

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Tuesday

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY COROSPONDENCES POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

 

Tuesday Source: WitchSwap.com

Associated with the planet Mars

Zodiac sSgns of both Aries and Scorpio, and although Scorpio is a water sign,

Elemental correspondence of Fire.

All of these factors lead to a favorable time for energy work, creativity, justice work, spells for assertion—even to the extent of aggression. This would be a great day for any social justice advocacy spells, or even a baneful working if the need calls for it. Also, summoning courage, strength and passion for yourself or someone else would be favorable on this day.

Color orange for any candle magick.

Gods/Goddesses: Mars, the God of War, gives this day that added confrontational vibe. He is a god who takes no crap from anyone. Channeling him to help you tap into the assertive aspect of yourself will be helpful, especially if you are a person who struggles with implementing boundaries.

Angel: Raphael

Tuesday Source: Spell8.com

Due to the influence that Mars has on this day of the week, Tuesday brings a blast of energy to expend, so it’s natural to feel impulsive or easily-triggered.

What spells to cast on a Tuesday? Scroll down to find a collection of witches’ spells for a Tuesday. Here are some ideas to inspire a Tuesday morning ritual. For a daily ritual, check the Daily Devotional page here.

Candle

Red candles are perfect for a Tuesday ritual. Red has a very powerful and lively energy in candle Magic. It is used for strength, emotional and sexual stimulation, vitality, and passionate love.

Saturday Source: learnreligions.com

It’s the end of the week for many of us, so Saturday—named for the god Saturn—is a good time to wrap things up. Associated with the colors black and dark purple, and the metal lead, this day is also connected to the goddess Hecate. Gemstones like Apache tear, obsidian, and hematite are all connected to Saturday’s magic, as are plants such as thyme, mullein, and the cypress tree.

When it comes to magical workings, focus on agriculture and creativity, fortune and hope, protection and banishment of negativity. Put up a barrier to keep the unwelcome out, eliminate the things that make you miserable, and wash your hands of anything other than your hopes, dreams, and goals.

Saturdays are best for hard work such as chores around the house, yard or garden work, or work towards other long-term projects and goals. Use this day for any type of cleansing and progress towards discipline practices.

A Witch’s Chant

by James Hogg

Thou art weary, weary, weary,
        Thou art weary and far away,
    Hear me, gentle spirit, hear me,
        Come before the dawn of day.

I hear a small voice from the hill,
The vapour is deadly, pale, and still—
A murmuring sough is on the wood,
And the witching star is red as blood.

And in the cleft of heaven I scan
The giant form of a naked man,
His eye is like the burning brand,
And he holds a sword in his right hand.

All is not well. By dint of spell,
Somewhere between the heaven and hell
There is this night a wild deray,
The spirits have wander’d from their way.

The purple drops shall tinge the moon
As she wanders through the midnight noon;
And the dawning heaven shall all be red
With blood by guilty angels shed.

Be as it will, I have the skill
To work by good or work by ill;
Then here’s for pain, and here’s for thrall,
And here’s for conscience, worst of all.

Another chant, and then, and then,
Spirits shall come or Christian men—
Come from the earth, the air, or the sea,
Great Gil-Moules, I cry to thee!

Sleep’st thou, wakest thou, lord of the wind,
Mount thy steeds and gallop them blind;
And the long-tailed fiery dragon outfly
The rocket of heaven, the bomb of the sky.

Over the dog-star, over the wain,
Over the cloud, and the rainbow’s mane,
Over the mountain, and over the sea,
    Haste—haste—haste to me!

Then here’s for trouble, and here’s for smart,
And here’s for the pang that seeks the heart;
Here’s for madness, and here’s for thrall,
And here’s for conscience, the worst of all!

Spell for Monday – Positive Change Spells

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Thursdays are good days for travel and change. It’s the perfect day to re-arrange the furniture of your house and gain a new perspective on something. Even if you are not able to do any traveling on this day, you can still use Thursdays to do spells for travel. You can even do spells for positive change, and re-arrangement of your life. It’s a good idea to exercise on this day, as well. That way, your body can be in-shape by the time Friday comes

 

Positive Change Spells – Write Change Spells

Things you will need:
1 sheet of paper
1 pen or pencil
1 green candle
1 lighter or match
Light the green candle and think about how you want your life to change. When you are ready, draw a cross symbol on the sheet of paper with the pen or pencil. Label each corner of the cross with the first letter of the four directions on Earth. For example: “N” for North and “E” for East. Above the cross, write the word, “CHANGE.” Now, take your pen or pencil and place it in the center of the cross. Draw a swirl, counter-clockwise, three times. Then, take the pen back to the center of the cross and draw, clockwise, three times. Now, blow out the candle. After doing that fold the paper up and safely burn it or toss it in a body of water. After a few days, you should feel the changes you wanted to start happening.

 

Re-arrange Spells – Bouquet Re-arrange Spell

3 different kinds of flowers
1 vase
Get three different kinds of flowers and place them in a vase. Take a deep look at them and, then, step back for a few minutes. Walk back up to the flowers and re-arrange them. Then, say this chant three times:

 

“Flowers to move.
Life to re-arrange.
I need things to be different.
I need things to change.
What was over here,
Now, is over there.
What I need to spin around,
Soon, will have new flare.”

 

After about a week or so, you will notice a good deal of the re-arrangement you wanted.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might have ambitious plans for something related to home and family today. Perhaps these ideas are related to something that you want to do with your garden or an outdoor space? A spontaneous family gathering might also take place today. Stock the fridge so that you’re not caught unawares.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a positive way to begin your week! You feel optimistic and mentally alert. However, do be aware that this is a mildly accident-prone day for you so pay attention to everything you say and do. Meanwhile, expect to encounter new people, new places and new ideas!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Keep an eye on your money and your belongings today. On the upside, you have excellent moneymaking ideas that are ambitious. You might see ways to boost your income. Nevertheless, something unpredictable might also impact your assets. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with both lucky moneybags Jupiter and unpredictable Uranus. This means you feel optimistic and encouraged about something. You might deal with a group of people. However, you’re also impulsive and restless. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

An unexpected opportunity to act on your desire to travel might happen today. “I’m going places!” Similarly, you might see opportunities related to publishing, the law, medicine or higher education. Work behind the scenes to improve your chances at something because today is full of unexpected opportunities.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A friend or a group might surprise you today. Or you might meet someone today who is unusual in some way. Meanwhile, unexpected travel opportunities might come your way along with chances for higher education or news related to medicine or the law.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re high viz. today, which means people notice you more than usual. Quite likely, they will see you as affluent and successful. They might also see you as unusual or unconventional, for some reason. Surprising news with a boss or parent might occur. Be ready for anything.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You need a change of scenery today, which is why you might feel a bit restless. Do something different so you can expand your world. Be aware that a surprise or something unexpected might occur; therefore, pay attention to avoid accidents. Grab any chance to travel or meet new people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Check your financial situation today because something unexpected could impact your banking scene or something to do with shared property, inheritances or insurance matters. In other words, if you snooze, you might lose. Stay on top of the game so you know what’s happening.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A friend, partner or spouse might throw you a curveball today. They might ask for something you didn’t expect or make a weird suggestion. Possibly, you will meet someone new who is avant-garde, bohemian or unusual in some way? (It might be in a social situation.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Work-related travel might suddenly surprise you today. Or something to do with a group might also catch you off guard. Allow extra time for unexpected delays, especially related to equipment breakdowns, staff shortages and computer glitches. (“Not again!”) Parents should keep an eye on their kids today to avoid accidents.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Stay light on your feet today because surprise invitations might suddenly appear. Therefore, dress well because you might suddenly have a luncheon date or an opportunity to socialize or attend the arts, the theatre, a movie, sports events – something that will please you. Dress so that you’re ready for anything.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Queen Latifah (1970) shares your birthday today. You are multitalented and resourceful. You are also courageous and intelligent. Because of this, you are often busy with many projects. Take it easy this year. It’s slower paced and more laid-back. Focus on relationships, especially people who have your back and want the best for you.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You seem to be quite secretive this Monday and prefer to keep things to yourself. Whether you are doing so because of a bit of distrust or just because you prefer not to get into any unnecessary explanations,

be sure that for some will work while for others it will only make things difficult because they would rather discuss things out.

You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It seems that things aren’t as simple as they look at a first glance and you will have to be prepared for some changes ahead.

At the same time there might be some other resources that you aren’t using properly yet and that should be employed in your work. Maybe there are people around you who can help you with that.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might want to be very careful today not to fall in the trap of any negative thoughts as you might risk because you just can’t afford any hesitation right now.

The current disposition prompts you to open your mind but at the same time for you this seems more like an invitation to take everything in consideration and of course you are putting worst case scenarios first.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You seem to begin the week in quite a travelling and exploring mood and whether your life arrangements back you up on that or not, there is still place to dream on, isn’t it?

This is on the other hand a great day to gather information and listen to others so make sure you stay as connected as you can to the flow of the day.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The current disposition is not really backing up your working activities this Monday so you will probably struggle on that.

Instead your mind prefers to wonder and will hike on any trail of emotional distress or any thought that has been troubling you in the last few days. You don’t want to be superficial and disregard those but you want to work as well, don’t you?

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

Being a Pisces born on March 18th, your biggest challenge is how you perceive yourself and how much importance you give to your intuition. You put a great price on what others have to say but you are also strong enough to dismiss them when it is the case.

You are also one of those kinds of lucid dreamer and tend not to create any big expectations in life. Prepare to read a comprehensive report below.

 The zodiac sign for March 18 is Pisces.

 Astrological symbol: Fish. The sign of the Fish is influential for those born February 19 – March 20, when the Sun is considered to be in Pisces. It signifies the intuitive and empathic nature of these individuals.

 The Pisces Constellation is spread on an area of 889 sq degrees between Aquarius to the West and Aries to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -65° and the brightest star is Van Maanen’s.

 The Latin name for the Fish, the March 1 zodiac sign is Pisces. The Spanish name it Pisci while the French call it Poissons.

 Opposite sign: Virgo. This means that this sign and Pisces are a straight line across each other on the zodiac wheel and can create an opposition aspect. This suggests unicity and analytic sense as well as an interesting cooperation between the two sun signs.

 Modality: Mobile. Suggests how much sincerity and optimism exists in the lives of those born on March 18 and how humorous they are in general.

 Ruling house: The twelfth house. This means that Pisces is strong and intuitive and knows when to stop things and start over. This house is all about completion and permanent renewal and change of course and reveals why these have always played an important part in the lives of Pisceses.

 Ruling body: Neptune. This planetary ruler symbolizes development and honesty and also reflects on courtesy. Neptune can be facilitated by Aquamarine.

 Element: Water. This element suggests the sensuality and innate emotional nature of those born under the March 18 zodiac and their tendency to go with the flow and welcome the reality that surrounds them rather than confront it.

 Lucky day: Thursday. This is a day ruled by Jupiter, therefore deals with counterbalance and anticipation. It suggests the enthusiastic nature of Pisces natives.

 Lucky numbers: 1, 9, 15, 18, 24.

 Motto: “I believe!”

People born on March 18 are sensitive and devoted to the causes and principles they establish for their lives. They are idealistic and sensitive and often let themselves have their feet swept of the floor by something they enjoy. They always seem ready like they would save the world. These natives enjoy spending time in solitude exercising introspection although they can also prove to be quite social beings.

 Positive traits: Generous, energetic and progressive, these Pisces natives are caring and optimistic and usually have an interesting insight on many life matters. With age they gain the wisdom and confidence they didn’t have in their young years and tend to accomplish more and bring more balance in their lives and in their communities.

 Negative traits: Melancholic and indecisive, these natives often have a hard time making them mind and feel overcome by the variety of decisions they feel they have at hand. They often have moments of negation inducing introspection that block them even more. On the other hand, they need to work on their confidence issues because they are sometimes naive and people are rapid to take advantage of them.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on March 18 are versatile and enthusiastic. Their love life is all about dating and meeting new and exciting persons and they avoid commitment at all costs. However, if they do get struck by love they start behaving like the most loyal and romantic fool in love. They are attracted to mysterious, sensual and energetic persons who can keep up with their crazy lifestyle. Intuition usually helps them surround with only the best of people and they are rarely wrong about one’s character.

 Usually a joyful character, they sometimes find it hard to express their emotions and this can make them appear quite difficult and hard to understand. They need time to develop a real connection. For them, relationships and settling will probably be a complex matter but once they decide to have their own family they will turn out to be very protective and patient. They are most compatible with those born on 3th, 5th, 6th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 21th, 23th, 24th and 31st.

 March 18 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two water signs: Cancer and Scorpio as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Pisces is in a constant search for someone to motivate and protect them unconditionally and the one to offer them this is the native in Taurus. The lover in Pisces is thought to be least compatible with Aquarius. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Pisces, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

March 18 Pisces at Their Best: Strong, brave, resilient

March 18 Pisces at Their Worst: Careless, chaotic, obsessive

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS March 18, then your zodiac sign is Pisces. You, Pisces, are unafraid to take risks in order to rise above your current situation.

If today March 18th is your birthday, you can be misunderstood. Some behavior patterns may suddenly change therefore giving people the impression that you are foolish or even out of control.

These urges come from your awareness of your psychic abilities. It is as if something is pulling you in one direction and people just do not get it.

Pisceans with zodiac birthday March 18have a great need to be stimulated and look for spontaneity in the bedroom, laundry room, or kitchen. Your sex drive is definitely strong and it tends to dominate the nature of the relationship. This can sometimes interfere with your romantic relationships.

Your birthday personality trait shows that you love competition. More likely than not, you are rewarding yourself for a job well done. You feel you are superior because of spiritual connection and ability to see the bigger picture.

People turn to you for advice, and then they tell their friends about what you said. You would do well in politics, Pisces.

You who are born on this day 18th Marchfocus on bringing techniques that are more modern to the game plan. With hard work and devotion, you usually bring home the bacon and the cheese.

However, Pisces, you do too much trying to ensure financial stability. Sometimes, it is best to take things slow and easy rather than just jump right into a situation. This is an important aspect of your life and needs to be done with practicality and direction.

With a realistic outlook on the future, your significant other will appreciate your efforts and steady progress to build a brighter tomorrow. You know how to put your life in order through investments and a safe retirement account.

Your love match is certainly a lucky person predicts the March 18 birthday astrology analysis. A Piscean will need someone who can benefit from shared experiences. The perfect partner is someone who makes you feel safe and gives you motivation to push ahead.

You of all people, Pisces, understand what it means to be an adult that has to come to terms with the past. In order to know the value of being a parent, you need to let go of old influences that perhaps did not shed a very good light on parenthood. You believe “it takes a village to raise one child.”

When you have the ability to educate the little minds into a more positive and diverse way of thinking, you will have an independent thinking adult.

If today March 18 is your birthday, you release a lot of energy through sexual marathons but in addition, work out as a part of a routine. You tend to watch your weight but normally can eat what you want.

As your birthday meaning says, you are competitive and Pisces zodiac sign can be found at the basketball court or racquetball court. It is whatever… as long as you are active, you are in good shape. Go ahead and give yourself a high five!

The March 18 birthday horoscope shows that you get excited when it comes to new and undiscovered grounds. You have a strong work moral code with a determination, unlike any other Piscean.

You are going to be successful. It is your destiny. I think it is admirable how you are willing to take a cut in pay to do what you love to do. Besides, we know it not necessarily how much you make, but what you do with it that counts. You, Pisces, can stretch a dollar bill until it breaks!

I can say this about you, Pisces. The March 18 birthday characteristics show you are unafraid to meet any challenge head-on. You are in great physical shape as you love to exercise in and out of the bedroom.

Pisceans believe in extended family values when it comes to childcare. It is everybody’s responsibility and not just one person. Sometimes, people just do not understand you, Pisces.

The Oak King – Major Arcana

The Oak King hangs upside down by his heel, which is wedged between branches of an oak tree. He is comfortable, casual, and relaxed as he contemplates his vital role within the infinite passage of time, tracing on the ground below him the perpetual cosmic lemniscate within the circle of the year. His position reflects the infinity symbol as he anticipates the familiar cycle of change, when the Oak King transitions into the unborn infant within the womb of Mother Earth, surrendering his reign to himself as the Holly King, the Sage who will rule until the Oak King is reborn at Yule. The lemniscate shows that the God’s endless cycle of life and authority is a harmonious interaction of light and shadow, demonstrating that life itself moves through the seasons of its own, an he is the guide.

This card offers the opportunity to meditate or focus inward and determine what needs to be released to make room for what needs to be brought in, and what needs to be retained. This can be an external or internal housecleaning, deciding what is unnecessary in one’s life, what is worthy of being kept, and what is new and beneficial. Here is a time when the conscious and subconscious may communicate, discovering what is desired and what is no longer necessary in one’s life.

The matter of change is in the tenuous phase of transition, requiring thought and the willingness to let go of the outmoded in order to reach achievement in some area of life. This is the stage of determining what foundation will be laid for the future and what new venture or outlook should begin. When this card appears in a reading, one is advised to take the time to consider the various options, pull together resources, and bring everything into balance before proceeding. Just as spell materials are set on a pentacle during magic work for grounding and manifestation in the physical world, so too should one prepare for what materialize.

Meaning: Paused activity, transition, meditation, weighing options, inner peace, patience, deciding what changes to make, self-sacrifices for gains.

Prompt Words: Introspection, inner peace.

Chimpanzee

“Use both your intuition and your intellect to solve the problem or get answers to your questions”

When your intuition and intellect are in harmonious accord with each other, there’s no problem that you can’t resolve. The combination emerges as creative intelligence, an elegant blend of your capacity for reasoning coupled with a deep trust in your gut feelings. In the flow of thought and action that results in resolving your question or problem this way, you may surprise yourself as to how simple and effective the answer really is.

Your intuition is actually a constellation of physical cues that response the subtle body language, voice intonations, and energetic quality of the people or situations around you, often felt in your gut but not confined to that area. It’s your instinct communicating—an aspect of your animal nature that’s cued in to your survival and growth. You can best access this instinctual wisdom by breathing slowly and steadily and focusing your attention on the physical sensations you notice.

In addition to your intuitive feelings, get more information on which to base your choices by doing some research. Consult books, the Internet, other types of oracles, and/or discuss the issue with a friend. Or you may simply need time to contemplate it. Often when you walk away from the problem or question after intensely researching it, an unexpected insight surfaces that helps you discern the best choice among the possibilities. When there’s congruity between mind and intuition, coupled with a healthy dose of patience, you tap into the deeper wisdom of Source.

Associations: Problem Solving; Agility; Insight; Wisdom; Intuition; Dexterity; Tool Making; Harmony; Intelligence; Cooperation; Laughter; Commuinication; Affection; Playfulness

Iodhadh/Idad

I is Iodhadh, or Idad, the Yew tree. Much like the Death card in the Tarot, the Yew is known as a marker of death and endings. This evergreen tree has leaves that are attached in a spiral pattern to the twigs. Because of its unusual growth pattern, in which new growth forms inside the old, the Yew is strongly tied to rebirth and new life following death.

The Yew has no medicinal value at all, and in fact, it’s mostly toxic. Livestock have been known to die from eating the poisonous leaves. Berries can be used, but should be treated with caution. On a practical level, the wood of the Yew tree is very hard and resistant to water damage, so it was popular in the making of longbows in England.

In A Modern Herbal, Maud Grieve says of the Yew,

“No tree is more associated with the history and legends of Great Britain than the Yew. Before Christianity was introduced it was a sacred tree favoured by the Druids, who built their temples near these trees–a custom followed by the early Christians. The association of the tree with places of worship still prevails.”

Iodhadh Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Although it may not represent spiritual death, if Iodhadh appears, it’s a sign that major transitions are coming. Be aware of them, and realize that although not all of them are bad, they will probably be pretty significant. Now’s a good time to get rid of things which are of no use to you, in order to make room for new beginnings.

Magical Aspects: Changes are on the way, so quit clinging to beliefs and ideas that no longer serve you well. Shed the old, and welcome the new. Accept change for what it is–an asset–and stop seeing it as an obstacle. Don’t fear new things, embrace them.

Knight of Pentacles – Court Card

Gains and losses

A teenage girl, clad in a golden breastplate and helmet, stands beside a large dragon on a rocky hill. They are watching men build a stone house below. The girl has a Celtic sword slung at her belt; beside the sword is a bag with a pentacle on the side. From her vantage point at the gates to the spiritual realm, the girl can clearly see the labor that goes into each life; this labor creates a personal space for the individual, a necessity for the maintenance of the individuality and personal identity. The stones of the hillside symbolize primordial power; this symbolism is repeated in the stones used to build the house. There is an unlimited supply of creative, primordial energy upon which any person may draw to manifest what is needed in life, if they are willing to put forth the effort. The sword and the bag with the pentacle represent the spiritual strength for defense.

Divinatory Meaning: There could be a gain or loss finances. Salary increase is possible. The chance to purchase real estate may come about. A loan is repaid.

“Let go of your fear and know that you are safe and protected at all times”

Whenever you venture into unfamiliar territory it’s quite natural to feel some trepidation. Your mind can create all sorts of scenarios as to what can go wrong. Doubts and uncertainties may arise, and the can seem fraught with challenges and sometimes even danger. You may find yourself stuck at times, fearful about moving ahead. Yet much of what we label as fear isn’t actually fear, True fear is a vital, instinctual response to any life-threatening situation and is triggered not only by circumstances or events, but even more so by what you think about those circumstances or events. Stay relaxed yet vigilant, trusting that nothing can truly harm you and that your body will provide sensory information if there is any actual danger. If there truly is a threat, then your instincts will tell you what to do.

Whenever you feel an exaggerated sense of fear triggered mainly by your thoughts, one that has little or no basis in reality, take a few slow, deep breaths. Call upon spirit helpers who have provided their guidance and protection before. Reach out to close friends or family members for reassurance and to help you feel grounded and centered. Recall those times in the past when you did not feel frightened or were endangered and not only survived, but came through intact. You can also re-label fear and instead call it excitement, as the two emotions are very similar in the way they manifest in the body. Most of all, trust your spirit guides, your instincts, and your friends to watch out for you.

Associations: Protection; Guardianship; Alertness; Kindheartedness; Compassion; Individuality; Compromise; Challenge; Analysis; Illusion; Magic; Sure-footedness; Confidence; Changes; Agility

Othala

Sound: “o” as in “old”
Stands for: Home (or Odla – sacred ancestral land)
Color: Copper (Brown)
Casting meaning: Much like Fehu this is a rune of wealth. But unlike Fehu, Othala represents a wealth that cannot be sold. This is wealth like family, friendships or our culture and heritage that is passed down to us. It represents an enclosure and maintains the existing state of things as they presently are.

Eabhadh/Eadha

E is Eadhadh, or Eadha, which is the Aspen, a symbol of endurance and courage. The Aspen is a durable, hardy tree that grows all over North America and Scotland, so when Eadhadh appears, take it as a sign of strong will and success. Challenges may come your way, but you will eventually conquer your adversaries and obstacles.

In folklore and literature, the Aspen is associated with heroes, and many “crowns of Aspen” have been found in ancient burial sites. The sturdy wood was popular for making shields, and were often imbued with magical protective properties. In the Highlands of Scotland, the Aspen was often rumored to be connected to the realm of the Fae.

Eadhadh Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Like the Aspen, you can be flexible without snapping. No matter what obstacles come, allow yourself to know that these too will be gone eventually. You will be left stronger for the experience, if you can get over your fears and reservations.

Magical Aspects: Don’t give in to the pressures of the material world. Focus instead on your spiritual journey, even if it seems like it would be a lot easier to give up and let things fall by the wayside. Even in the Tarot, the Fool knows he has a long way to go, but the first step is the hardest. When Eadhadh appears, put aside your distractions, and take that first all-important step on your journey.

Hexagram 43

Hexagram Forty – Three 43

Determination

 General Meaning: Personal resolution points to a breakthrough, but decisive action is required. As long as you diligently hold your ground and ward off negative tendencies and influences, the good will prevail.

The persistence of negativity, which is that which opposes the good, is a constant in human affairs. Just when it is thought to have been eradicated, up it will pop again, sprouting through some crack in the pavement of civilized society. Evil need not take dramatic or extravagant forms, such as those exhibited in Nazi Germany. Garden-variety lies and deceit are much more common and persistent, but should be rooted out just as diligently. One must be determined to not accidentally feed negativity — either in one’s social or professional life, or in one’s own soul. In either case, definite rules must be followed for the struggle to succeed.

The first rule: do not compromise with evil. Destructive or exploitive actions must be identified openly for what they are, and discredited. The second: one cannot successfully resist negativity on its own terms. New, positive alternatives that lead away from the source of the problem are generally more successful, and appropriate than trying to counter negativity with raw power. The third rule: the means used to counter negativity must be consistent with the end to be achieved. One cannot stop the spreading of lies by spreading more of them.

Numerology

Eighteen

It is involved with business on an international scale, and it is a discordance between idealism and selfishness. There is a lack of conscious spiritual effort. If the 18 is prominent in your chart, reading and travel will be very beneficial.
