Merry meet dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests, Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

I am healing slowly but at least I can use the fingers on my left hand to type a little bit now. I am not ready to do tomorrow posts yet. I will return to doing the tomorrow posts as soon as I feel comfortable doing so. Found out after going to Urgent Care that I managed to hurt my next fairly bad also. Which explains why I cannot sit at my computer or anywhere else for that matter without quite a bit of pain and a pounding headache. As my dearest friend, Lady Rhiannon, keeps telling me for over 20 years I have to slow down and be more aware of what is a round me before I start walking.

If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section. I will try to find some information to post about it.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with all things positive!

Merry part until we merry meet again!

An Herbal Grimoire – Honeysuckle and Lavender

Disclaimer: No herb should be used for medicinal use until you have checked with your health
care professional to ask if it is safe for you to use it for any reason. WitchesofTheCraft.com, any
staff member of WitchesofTheCraft.com, and Lady Carla Beltane are not responsible for any
type of a negative reaction when using this herb for any reason.

Believe it or not, most of the herbs in the B’s have Masculine connections.

Goddess Herb Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle has a feminine aspect. It is closely connected to Jupiter and with the element of Earth.
Honeysuckle is widely used in spellcasting for prosperity spells and love charms as well as memory,
healing and power. But there is an honesty aspect connected with this herb. Ensure you are pure and
honest about your intentions when working with this herb, to not insult it.
Honeysuckle can be very potent and lend significant strength to money spells. But remember, when
asking for personal gains, something we should not do, you must be very specific in your intentions. The
energies that this herb will create can be powerful enough to carry you years.

Spellcrafting hint: When working prosperity spells, please be specific and ensure that when requesting
anything from the Universe that you are not asking for personal gain. So, for example, instead of asking
for money to come to you to go on vacation, ask instead, for long lasting and focused prosperity to carry
you and those you love and care for successfully through the future. To lend energy to your efforts and
your strengths to prosper and keep working to fulfill your own destiny.

God Herb Lavender

Lavender has a masculine aspect. It is closely connected with Mercury and the element of Air. Lavender
is an essential herb to have in Spellcasting or Magickal working. Witches have used this particular herb
for centuries. Lavender lends its energies of protection, love, clarity, purification, peace, protection, as
well as visions, clairvoyance, clarity of thought and inner calming.
Lavender is a very powerful herb. Ask this herb to lend its energies, but be careful. This one simple herb
can have a powerful kick! The energies that come from this one plant can bounce through the Universe
and can touch millions to gain exponential strength as it comes back to you threefold.
Spellcasting with this herb to gain insight, or clarity can and will manifest itself as a quest for knowledge,
a quest for understanding. So, while you may be thinking that it will help you to understand something
that you are struggling with, it may not come that way, instead it may come in the form of pushing you
to educate yourself with research and reading. This will then help you to find that clarity as you are now
more knowledgeable.
Remember Witches, the energies that come back to us from the Universe, may not manifest the way we
intended or even the way we think. But please do understand, those energies will come back to you. If
your intentions are pure and honest and are not meant to harm anyone, you will be rewarded beyond
your imagining.

Blessed Be Brothers & Sisters!
Happy Spellcasting!

 The Gemini Constellation, one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac is placed between Taurus to the West and Cancer to the East and its visible latitudes are +90° to -60°. The brightest star is Pollux while the whole formation is spread on 514 sq degrees.

 The Twins is named from the Latin Gemini, the zodiac sign for May 28. In Greece it is named Dioscuri while the Spanish call it Geminis.

 Opposite sign: Sagittarius. This reflects upon liveliness and beauty and the fact that a cooperation between the Gemini and Sagittarius sun signs, whether in business or love is beneficial for both parts.

 Modality: Mobile. This modality of those born on May 28 suggests intellectuality and perfectionism and also offers a sense of their perceptive nature.

 Ruling house: The third house. This means that Gemini is influenced towards communication, human interactions and extensive travelling. This house controls communication skills and thirst for knowledge through social contact.

 Ruling body: Mercury. This celestial planet is said to influence open mind and diligence. It is also to be mentioned about the youthfulness of these natives. Mercury governs over short distance travel.

 Element: Air. This element represents movement and observance. Air also gets new meanings in association with fire, making things heat up, evaporating water while earth seems to suffocate it. It is considered to make people born on May 28 intelligent and creative.

 Lucky day: Wednesday. This weekday is ruled by Mercury symbolizing communication and elusiveness. It reflects upon the youthful nature of Gemini people and the eye opening flow of this day.

 Lucky numbers: 2, 7, 14, 18, 23.

 Motto: “I think!”

 People born on May 28 possess many hidden talents and usually accumulate a lot of knowledge in their lives because they are very curious and develop sudden passions for different things. They feel the need to be surrounded by people with similar opinions to them and can be quite persistent in making others agree with them. They are afraid of loneliness and many of the things they do stem from their fear of boredom and of not realizing anything in their lives.

 Positive traits: These natives are full of tact and great with words when they want to impress but they can also be brutally sincere when they want people to see how they really feel about something. They are kind hearted and charitable although sometimes they might appear conscious but heartless. They are always in search for experience and trying something new.

 Negative traits: These are some of the most temperamental natives and they are quick to react and enter in all kinds of conflicts just for the sake of the argument. They are not very good at keeping their promises, especially if they were forced in any way to make them. They can take even important things lightly and this sometimes predisposes them to taking risks without really understanding what concerns them. They are easily distracted but they are in no way available to admit when they are wrong.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 28 are extremely attractive and charming. They always have their words, but imagine when this eloquence is combined with passion. They are attracted to people who can accept their eccentricities and keep up with them. You can conquer the heart of Gemini if you master the art of revealing who you are step by step so they never get bored. When they are single they act just about the same as when they are in a relationship, they seem to have no restrictions and just live their life at its fullest.

 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. They are used to intensely live every aspect of their life and their relationships are no exception. They are likely to fall in love at a young age as they are attractive and positive persons. Concerning 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 the 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 31st.

 May 28 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other air signs: Libra and Aquarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Gemini is constantly seeking for someone that can truly understand their way of expressing their feelings and the best to do this is the native from Sagittarius. Gemini is thought to be least compatible with Taurus. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Gemini, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Yellow is the color defined for May 28 and in general for Gemini natives.

Yellow suggests youth, light and happiness. Yellow also promotes communication and establishing social contact. This zodiac color should be used in objects that surround the natives.

Those with yellow as sign color are the ones making the right choice no matter what, they are the one taking the decision that needs to be made. They know their long calculated decisions are the best so they are usually stubborn and hard to convince otherwise. Their only soft spot is their introspective personality.

And they do everything in the most dignified way. Taurus people are usually unfailing but in transformation they ask for great security and sureness. Those born under this sign have a great combination of aspiring and generosity that can only set them to great success for their communities.

Those born on this day can have an extremely narrow vision of things and can also be very bull headed and this usually leads to frequent irritability and emotions of annoyance.

When in a relationship their love progresses quickly, their attitude changes and they turn into a devoted and persistent lover.

OTHILA

Separation, Withdrawal, Heir

This is the time of your ways separating. Old skin must shed, outdated relationships need to be given up.  If this rune appears, a “molting” is necessary.  Othila is a rune of the radical separation.  Obedience and probably also withdrawal is necessary – to know, when and how you need to withdraw, and to actually have the determination, to do it.  Property is also an aspect of this rune, because Othila is the rune of the acquisition and profit.  The profit however, that “heir”, which you receive, could likely be made of something that you need to abandon. This process can be especially hard if that what needs to be abandoned is something of your cultural heir and backing.  Not ‘rigidly’ but rather like a ‘river’ is the correct attitude to have.  And yet – you have to wait that the universe begins to act.

Rings

Bonding, alliance, marriage, teams, family

This witches rune indicates an issue, be it good or bad, with family, co-workers, friends, etc. Bonding on different levels is also the message.

Ogham

Source: druidogham. wordpress.com

Mor

Change, shift, the sea, maps, realm of the subconscious, great undercurrents

Tree: Witch hazel (Hamamelis spp.)

Letter: X

“Sea change” is a term for profound or holistic change. Change is the foundation of existence. The interplay of opposing forces creates and destroys ad infinitum. Mor bookends the concept of change introduced by the first Ogham, Beith. The intention that sowed an action reaped a habit, the habit reaped a character, and the character reaped a destiny. The new track in space has been laid and change is inevitable.

When you draw Mor, look for the changes in and around you. These are not necessarily good or bad. Often, drawing this Ogham can mean something as basic as “oh look, the season of Spring is arriving”. Mor doesn’t have to indicate any kind of drama, although it could. Mor calls out to you to look at overarching influences, new factors or people, and to examine the permutations and possibilities of how they affect the environment.

Mor is a bird’s eye view of opposing forces in our lives rather than being upswept by the random forces that weave in and out of our daily existences. Understanding your own subconscious gives you the ability to calmly deal with challenges that come your way. The work you do on understanding yourself is the sails you build on your boat in the great sea of life. You still need to figure out which way the wind is blowing, of course, but knowing a thing or two about your own position, your tendencies, desires, faults, and strengths will give you the power you need to dodge rocks and survive storms.

The stoic Mountain drains its excess waters to the Lake below:
The Superior Person curbs his anger and sheds his desires.

To be frugal and content is to possess immeasurable wealth within.
Nothing of value could be refused such a person.
Make a portion of each meal a share of your offering.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is an occasion for downsizing to fighting trim.
Simplicity and economy are strong defenses against the slings and arrows of Outrageous Fortune.
Whether this is a time of want or a time of plenty, it is an auspicious time to shed a dependency.

The 4 favors results over financial reward and public recognition. They are humble, often dress conservatively, and don’t clash with their surroundings.

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.

Life can be a real challenge sometimes, and during those times you may just have to laugh it out—even if that means getting a little dark.

Amhancholl

Ae (sometimes represented as X or Xi), is Amhancholl or Eamhancholl, associated with Witch Hazel. This natural astringent is purifying and cleansing. The word Eamhancholl literally translates to “twin of Hazel”, so there is a strong connection to C–Coll in the Ogham. When Amhancholl appears, it’s usually an indicator that cleansing and purification is necessary or has taken place.

From a purely medicinal standpoint, Witch Hazel has long been used as a cleanser and astringent. Native American tribes turned it into a poultice which was used to treat swelling and tumors. Amongst the early settlers, midwives arriving in the New World found that it could be used to prevent sepsis following childbirth or an abortion. Today, it’s still in use as a treatment for skin inflammations, such as insect bites, mild burns, and even hemorrhoids.

Amhancholl Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time for a cleansing. Sometimes this is a physical cleansing of our Self, but often it applies to emotional clutter and baggage. Smudge your home, get rid of all the negative energies around you, and allow yourself to purify both your body and your mind.

Magical Aspects: This is a good indicator that you need to do a re-evaluation of your spiritual life. Are you studying things that no longer interest you? Are you hanging on to books or other magical items that you know you’ll never need–or worse, that you really dislike? If you’re feeling stagnant, or that you’re drifting a bit on a spiritual level, when this symbol appears it probably means you need to rethink your priorities. What are your spiritual goals? Do a cleansing ritual, and help yourself begin anew.

Hexagram Fifty- Two/52

Kên / The Mountain

Above this Mountain’s summit another more majestic rises:
The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now.

Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows.
This is no mistake.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition.
To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you.
To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand.
Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility.
Be. Here. Now.

A Thought for Today and For Your Listening Pleasure

I am in such an uplifting, positive mood and not tired today I hardly recognize myself from a week ago. This is how I prefer to feel everyday. Plus no nightmares since last Friday helps to put me in this better mood. PTSD, which can be a total disability to function in everyday life, troubling dreams or nightmares can really ruin a person’s day. Those with have PTSD for what ever trauma or traumas that have caused it have a true disability but the average  person you come in contact with thinks you are just fine because this is a silent disability just like depression, bi-polar, anxiety things, etcetera. We do not get a special parking place or treatment from others with what I call silent disabilities. Why don’t we? Because to most people the world over if they do not see you using a wheelchair or crutches or other outward helpers to get around they think you are lying when you say you are disabled.

Here is a list of just a few things besides being in a war zone that can cause PTSD:

Domestic Violence or Abuse this goes for men as well as women.

Being in an Automobile Accident even if neither you or anyone else was hurt badly or died.

Being Molested as a child or young adult.

Being Raped at any age. YES, whether you want to believe it or not MEN can be raped though very few report it because4 of fear of being laughed at or ridiculed.

Being Held Captive by a spouse or parent or other care giver.

Being Homeless

And the list goes on and on.

So, the next time you see someone struggling but they have no outward signs of being disabled stop and think for a moment before you pass judgement on them.

I picked this song because to me it means at least one person cares about and loves me unconditionally and I love him back the same way. He stands by me when my PTSD or depression or an anxiety attack or a fibromyalgia flare or any or all of them combined is happening or just our everyday life can be to much for me physically or mentally or emotionally or all three combined.

My hope for each of you is that you have someone like this in your life too!!
