Earth travel guides
In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.
The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.
The Waxing Gibbous 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. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Wednesday
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY COROSPONDENCES POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)
Wednesday Source: otherworldlyoracle.com
Wednesday is also a day that acquired its name from an old Norse god – Odin. In the Germanic, in particular Saxon tribes, he was also called Woten or Wodin, hence Wednes-day or Woden’s day. Odin is the All-Father in the Norse pantheon and rules wisdom, mischief, poetry, quests and the runes (among many other things). Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury, which rules communication and more. So, if you cast on Wednesday, it should be for one of the following intentions: communication (verbal and written), technology, cars/transportation, wisdom, clarity, spiritual growth or enlightenment, travel, psychic abilities, courage, divination (particularly the runes), and power.
Wednesday’s Magical Correspondences:
Magical Intentions: divination, wisdom, knowledge, education, traveling, communication, spiritual enlightenment, courage, mischief
Crystals: Agate, citrine, aventurine, sodalite, lapis, hematite, emerald
Herbs: lavender, rosemary, fern, cherry, licorice, poppy, mugwort, plantain, apple, fennel, chervil
Gods/Goddesses: Odin, Mercury, Hermes
Wednesday Source: groveandgrotto.com
Wednesday is named for Wotan (Odin), closest Norse equivalent to the fleet-footed Roman god. Adaptable Mercury rules learning, luck, travel, and trade, so Wednesday is good for workings on any of these matters. Improve communication. Increase focus and alertness. Prosper in business or games of chance. Make or consecrate money-drawing charms. Wednesday is also a fine day for divination, especially using cards, runes, or lots. Mercury is a nimble trickster, so if you were going to do a spell to distract or mislead (not that you would!), Wednesday is the day for those shenanigans.

The current moon phase for July 30th, 2025 is the Waxing Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 5.79 days old and 31.28% illuminated with a tilt of 154.065°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 400,693.95 km and the moon sign is Libra.
The Moon phase for July 30th, 2025 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: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Disposal of Ritual Offerings c2016
Disposal of Ritual Offerings
A common question that comes up is the matter of how to dispose of offerings made during a ritual once the ritual has concluded. Disposal methods may vary, depending on a few things. For instance, does your particular magical tradition require you to dispose of offerings in a certain way? Also, what is the offering? Organic materials can be disposed of in different ways than non-organic offerings. Finally, does the spell or ritual itself include a method of disposal? Consider all of these factors when you’re deciding on how to dispose of a magical offering.
Let’s look at some of the different ways that you can get rid of an offering you’ve made:
Earth & Water
If your offering is an organic item, such as blood, fruits and vegetables, tobacco, or other plant material, you may want to consider burying it. A garden is a good place to do this, particularly if you have a compost bin, because the nutrients will go back into the soil as the offering biodegrades, continuing the cycle of life.
Some people choose to bury non-biodegradable items as well, such as candle stubs and incense remnants, but if you do this, you should make sure you do it in your own yard. Disposal of organic items into a moving body of water, such as a river or the ocean, is acceptable in many traditions as well – make sure, though, that you’re not putting any non-organic materials in the water. Use your best judgment here.
The Power of Fire
Nearly any ritual offering can be disposed of by burning. In some hoodoo traditions, burning an offering is considered part of the ritual itself – for example, Cat Yronwoode says that to destroy an item’s influence, it can be burned in the ceremony. You can also burn ritual offerings such as meat, bread, and other foods.
Sharing With Wildlife
Got a pile of seeds and nuts you used in your ritual? As long as they haven’t been tainted with anything toxic, you can feel free to scatter them outdoors for the local critters to snack on. One Indiana Pagan named Apollonia says, “My coven does a lot of rituals that make offerings to grain gods, so we always have a lot of bread left over. Typically, the day after the ritual, I’ll take it to a local pond and leave it out for the ducks and geese. They consume it, and the life cycle of the grain continues on.”
Also, don’t discount the science of nature itself. Some offering items can be left out until they go away on their own. For instance, if you make an offering of consecrated water in a bowl, eventually it’s going to evaporate. If you do an outdoor ritual and you’ve offered herbs and flowers, those are going to blow away at some point, and find their way to a new home.
What About Icky Things?
Sometimes, let’s face it, we do a working that involves something negative. Maybe you’re trying to banish a pesky former lover, or you’re trying to get that crazy fundamentalist lady down the street to leave you alone. In cases like this – particularly if you’ve created a poppet – you may want to get the item as far away from you as possible. In cases like this, simply because of the nature of the ritual, you may want to go ahead and find a place such as a landfill, a port-a-john, or some other foul place to be rid of the items. Just make sure you’re not putting anything into the ecosystem that is going to cause damage down the road.
In the matter of spell components, you may not always want to permanently dispose of the items right away. Depending on the purpose of the spell, you may choose to hide the item in someone’s home, bury it in your own yard, or tuck it into a tree. Obviously, your disposal methods are going to vary depending on the ritual or working itself, and on the nature of the ritual offerings that you need to be rid of. Use common sense, think outside the box, and find a way to adapt to each situation as needed.

Offerings to the Air Element c2016
Offerings to the Air Element
When we make offerings to the air we are thanking the universe for our breath. Each moment we are held by this element and at the moment of death it’s our last breath, which heralds our departure from the mortal body.
The air is also our First breath when we are born so honour this element by getting outdoors and spending time in high places, feel the wind on your body and rejoice with song, laughter and dance, which are all part of this element. The air is what carries sound, music is what nurtures our soul and we can see that the two combined into one exceptional union. Music has the power to heal and transform us. Think about how many times you have put on your favourite tracks to change your mood. Mellow music chills us out and reduces our stress and more uplifting music gets us into a place when we want to move and express ourselves. All this is the expression of the air element and by being aware of such things brings a greater clarity to our daily activities.
Simple offerings can be thrown into the air or left tied to trees so that they Flutter in the winds. But make sure whatever you leave in nature can be broken down easily such a paper, incense, cotton or silk cloth, food and liquids, things found such as feathers and rocks. Never leave anything that will affect the flow of the natural world, to do that will only create blocks and hinder your path towards growth.
Offerings to the Fire Element c 2016
Offerings to the Fire Element
Without a beating heart we have no Gire within us, it is the blood that pumps around our bodies that generates heat and gives us the power to illuminate. Deep within our heart is a place that is eternal, an inner sun that burns with a light so bright it connects us to the very core of infinity. It is our innate nature that burns with wisdom and allows us to embrace life. When we align ourselves with the gods and with the path of The Craft we burn with fire, we burn with a yearning to know our soul’s destiny. That is what drives us on towards the source of all knowledge, it allows us to heal bits of ourselves and others because when we get just one single glimpse of the fire within the heart it is enough to illuminate the entire universe.
Although we have an inner fire there is nothing more beautiful to be sat round a camp fire, how many times have you looked deep into the flames and let them speak to you, they lull you to a place which allows visions to arise, transporting us inwards to the deep seat of knowing. The Craft has always been the place where those who follow it’s path burn with the passions of nature. To be alive with the fire of wisdom means that you have opened yourself up to the face of creation and allowed yourself to become enfolded in the arms of the Gods. They burn with the same fire, which is in your heart, they are made from the same seed fire that you have within. The Gods burn with the same eternal flame that illuminates our own being and to know the flame within means you come to know the face of the Gods. Fire burns away ignorance just like it clears the dead wood of the forest allowing new shoots to germinate bringing forth new growth. We all have dead wood within, our internal struggles and our ever-‐conflicting emotions are what keep the fire from burning bright. But when we get a glimpse of the fire we fan the f flames and they start to burn, they burn so bight that they produce a source of all light, without fire there would only be darkness and with total darkness no life would exist. Fire is the source of all life, without our sun this earth we live on would be a dead rock floating around a burnt out sun. Devoid of any life there would be no consciousness to illuminate itself. We are the universes knowing itself, and it’s through this element we come to understand these wisdoms.
Offering to fire can be anything that can be consumed by flames or even a simple votive candle.
Offerings to the Water Element c2016
Offerings to the Water Element
Water is a vital element for our survival, we are within water while we are in the womb of our mother and we die very quickly without it. Because water is in such abundance on our planet we have little attachment to it. Water is fluid and free and over time it can reduce the hardest material into dust. It cuts through valleys like a knife through butter and bursts forth from the ground in healing springs. It is the lifeblood within our bodies and upon the earth it is abundant and Glowing, unfortunately we pollute it with toxins that are now bringing us close to poisoning all life.
We should always try to keep our waters pure, they are what carry the trace nutrients that our body needs for survival. There is nothing more stirring that to sit next to crashing waves on beach or more restful than laying next to a babbling brook. Water out of all the elements has the most power to heal. Our ancestors knew this knowledge and dedicated many springs to cures. Even in our modern world we prefer bottled water to that from the tap thinking it has a purer quality to it. It’s our internal emotions that draw us close to water as a source of all healing and I often wonder if it’s because we floated for nine months in the waters of our mothers womb. There we felt safe and secure, it was a primordial state before they burst issuing us into the world of duality we know as life. How many of us enjoy the relaxing comfort of a bath or the invigorating power of a shower. Both these daily functions connect us deeply to the element of water and draw us close to its energetic qualities. I love nothing better than swimming outdoors in the summer in open pools and rivers, feeling the power of nature enfold me in the waters of life.
A daily offering of water can be made on your own personal shrine; it is something very easy to do and connects us to a source of connection many take for granted. Water is the best substance as a daily offering because it’s one of the things we have no attachment to, we don’t in any way covet it because it seems to be around us in abundance. That way we give it freely and that’s the spirit which should be nurtured when making any offering. To be able to give without any attachment at all allows the offering to have the purest quality within it and becomes a great source of connecting us to the source of creation. Items you can offer include water, milk and wine.
You could even collect different waters to offer such as Sea Water, Lake Water, Spring Water, Rain Water, Snow Water and Dew, be guided by your intuition and may the hand of the gods always lead you towards your souls purpose.
Offerings to the Earth Element c 2016
Offerings to the Earth Element
When we make offerings to the earth element we are honouring our body, without this vehicle we would not be able to experience the world in all its beauty. It gives us the chance to find happiness and joy. It is the very vessel that is filled with the light of creation and inhabiting it for a lifetime means we have a chance to awake to that inner light. It’s incredible when you stop to think about it, but that’s the problem, few do. When we walk a spiritual path it allows us to move forward on a journey upon the earth, this planet is a living body like our own. But how many people actually treat it as such?
Because we have disconnected from the earth we have become disconnected from our bodies and look at the amount of self-‐loathing we see in western cultures. The Craft has always told us to love our bodies, they are sacred and that’s why from time to time we take off our clothes and walk into nature. When we meet nature naked, we are free, we are totally beyond the trappings of culture because, once again, we have entered paradise. The Craft has always held ritual nudity to be a profound act, unfortunately because of our modern culture few these days feel comfortable disrobing. This is because we live in a highly sexualized society that has used sex and sexual images to sell almost everything, the images which have been used have been very limiting and exaggerated leaving many with a sense of inferiority about their own bodies. Remember we are born into this world naked and when we are free from the trappings of clothes we also have the opportunity to free ourselves from our ridged identities.
Offerings to the earth can include stones, salt, soil and food, go into nature, take your clothes off in the warmer months and feel the sun on your body, feel the wind caress you like a lover and embrace the natural world. Make your offerings to this element and thank it for giving you such a beautiful gift, your body the vehicle of your awakening.

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY COROSPONDENCES AND SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)
A list of 16 Common Witchcraft Spell Casting Essentials That Every Witch Should Have Source: wakeup.unhypnotize.com
These common witchcraft spell casting essentials are not listed in any particular order. They are listed in the order in which they came to me for the purpose of writing this article.
These are not the only common witchcraft spell casting essentials, however, they are some of the ones that I feel are the main ones.
THE most important witchcraft spell casting essential is intent. Without intent, you have nothing but words and actions, and not really a spell cast at all.
In no particular order, a list of Common Witchcraft Spell Casting Essentials
1. Salt
Used for cleansing and banishing. It is also used for protection during cleansing and banishing spells. Salt is a natural antiseptic. Salt is commonly used for circles for standing or sitting in while casting. It also ensures a clean spell.
2. Broom
Brooms are highly symbolic. Brooms symbolize the sweeping away of anything unwanted. They are used physically, as well as symbolically. You would use a broom to physically sweep away in a cleansing spell, banishing spell, also in some protection spells (ones that would rid unwanted energy from your home to keep it out).
3. Candles
Candles are used for focus and mood. Candles should be readily available in as many colors as you can get a hold of. Different colored candles hold symbolism for a variety of spells. Colors are chosen based on the nature of the spell and what feels right. White can be substituted for any color in the absence of the chosen color.
For example, some people like to use the color Red for love spells, or the colors Green or Gold for money spells, or Blue for healing spells, etc.
You can choose what colors feel right for you for any spell of your choosing. You do not have to go with the commonly used color associations if you feel another color will work better for you in a certain spell or ritual.
4. Crystals and Stones…
5. Incense…
6. Anointing Oils and Essential Oils…
7. Silence…
8. Isolation…
9. Book of Shadows (Spell Book)…
10. Intent…
11. Focus…
12. Confidence…
13. Altar…
14. Herbs and Flowers…
15. Cauldron…
16. Instinct…
This is not a complete list of everything that you will ever need or that you will ever use in your spells and rituals, and it is not meant to be. It is simply a list of some of the most common witchcraft spell casting essentials that are important to ensure a great spell. You don’t need all of these things for each spell. You want to use any combination of the essentials (and anything else that you feel is necessary) in each individual spell.
July 26, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for July 27th, 2025 is the Waxing Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 2.7 days old and 7.68% illuminated with a tilt of 152.583°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 388,149.03 km and the moon sign is Virgo.
The Moon phase for July 27th, 2025 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: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Witchcraft 101: Naked
There is a simple word that can strike fear into the heart of the bravest Witch: skyclad.
Skyclad is the word we use to mean, well, nude. As in, “This month’s full moon ritual will be done skyclad.”
Starkers, as the Brits say. In your birthday suit. Sans clothing. In your altogether. In short, buck-naked. Or as my dad used to say, “stark, nuked nade.”
Either way, it means you are out there under the moon with the breeze blowing through your, er….everything.
Some Witches are very comfortable practicing skyclad. Others wouldn’t do it on a bet. Still others save such dedication for their solitary rituals and prefer to wear garb when gathering with their fellow Witches.
All of the above is fine. There is no rule that says you have to perform Witchcraft naked (thank the Goddess), although there are some traditions where that is the norm. And although in the Charge of the Goddess it says “ye shall be naked in your rites,” this doesn’t mean that you have to stand outside at midwinter freezing your whatsits off.
As with most things witchy, you should use your own judgment and do what feels right to you. If you’re comfortable being naked, by all means do your rituals skyclad. If you’re not, you would probably find your nakedness so distracting that you wouldn’t be able to concentrate on your magick anyway, so there’s not much point to it.
The important thing to remember is that in the case of group rituals, you should discuss such things ahead of time and make sure that everyone agrees. There isn’t much that is more disconcerting than showing up at a ritual to find out that you are expected to disrobe when you weren’t planning on it.

(One Person’s View Point) Wicca, Witchcraft or Paganism?
As you study and learn more about magical living and modern Paganism, you’re going to see the words witch, Wiccan, and Pagan pretty regularly, but they’re not all the same. As if that wasn’t confusing enough, we often discuss Paganism and Wicca, as if they’re two different things. So what’s the deal? Is there a difference between the three? Quite simply, yes, but it’s not as cut and dried as you might imagine.
Wicca is a tradition of Witchcraft that was brought to the public by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s. There is a great deal of debate among the Pagan community about whether or not Wicca is truly the same form of Witchcraft that the ancients practiced. Regardless, many people use the terms Wicca and Witchcraft interchangeably. Paganism is an umbrella term used to apply to a number of different earth-based faiths. Wicca falls under that heading, although not all Pagans are Wiccan.
So, in a nutshell, here’s what’s going on. All Wiccans are witches, but not all witches are Wiccans. All Wiccans are Pagans, but not all Pagans are Wiccans. Finally, some witches are Pagans, but some are not – and some Pagans practice witchcraft, while others choose not to.
For many people, the embracing of an earth-based spirituality is a feeling of “coming home”. Often, people say that when they first discovered Wicca, they felt like they finally fit in. For others, it’s a journey TO something new, rather than running away from something else.

Different Traditions of Witchcraft c 2011
Different Traditions of Witchcraft
By Patti Wigington
In the Pagan community, there are a number of different spiritual traditions that fall under the umbrella of Wicca or Neowicca. Here are some of the most commonly discussed groups that you may find as you meet people of different Wiccan or Neowiccan traditions. There are different types and styles of Wiccan traditions — some may be right for you, and others not so much. Learn about the variations in spiritual paths even amongst Wiccans and NeoWiccan — some of the differences may surprise you!
Alexandrian Wicca
Founded by Alex Sanders and his wife Maxine, Alexandrian Wicca became a popular tradition during the resurgence of modern Paganism. Heavily influenced by Gardner and his tradition, Alexandrian Wicca uses a degree system and has ties to ceremonial magic systems.
Blue Star Witchcraft
The Blue Star tradition is one that is modeled on Gardnerian Wicca, but still manages to be different. Learn more about the Blue Star tradition of Witchcraft.
British Traditional Wicca
British Traditional Wicca is a term often used by Pagans in the U.S. to describe a specific set of covens in Britain. Find out what BTW is, and who qualifies to be part of it.
Circle Sanctuary
If you read much about Wicca and witchcraft, you’ve probably heard of Circle Sanctuary. But who are they, and why are they important?
Correllian Nativist Tradition
The Correllian Nativist Tradition is a well-known tradition of witchcraft today – find out who they are, and what they do.
Covenant of the Goddess
Covenant of the Goddess is a name that comes up often in discussion of Wiccan groups. Who are they, and what do they do?
Dianic Wicca
With origins in the feminist movement, Dianic Wicca has been embraced by many women trying to find an alternative to oppressive, patriarchal religion. One branch of the Dianic movement centers around the writings of Z Budapest, while other groups tend to be more eclectic. One facet they all have in common is a celebration of the Goddess only, instead of the dual God/Goddess practice often found in Wicca.
Eclectic Wicca
The phrase “eclectic Wicca” is a commonly used one, but it can have different meanings depending on who’s using it. Find out what Eclectic Wicca is, and who practices it.
Gardnerian Wicca
When Gerald Gardner founded Wicca in the 1950s, he set the wheels turning for countless other traditions to form. Many of today’s Wiccan covens can trace their origins back to Gardner, but the Gardnerians path itself remains initiatory and oathbound.
Is Christian Wicca a Valid Tradition?
A reader writes in asking about whether or not she can be both Christian and Wiccan. We also discuss that whole Biblical injunction about “thou shall not suffer a witch to live.”
