Create an ideal circle with the green candles around the copper container.
Now arrange the white candles in a circle around the green ones as well.
Then draw a circle with the coarse salt that encloses everything.
You will then have the copper container in the center surrounded by the green candles, which in turn are surrounded by the white candles, which in turn are enclosed by the circle of salt.
This composition is a powerful catalyst for positive energies and is also used in other propitiatory rites.
Now, light the candles, starting with the green ones, and moving clockwise.
While lighting the candles, repeat as if it were a chant the following formula several times and always in a multiple number of three (three, six, nine…).
Leave a certain amount of time between the lighting of one candle and the other.
“Sun, cover me with gold,
dress me in silver, Moon,
give me riches, great Jupiter”
Let the candles burn out completely. Then take the copper container and put it in a safe place away from prying eyes (obviously you have to leave the banknote inside).
It can be used again to repeat the ritual as often as you need it, always in the new moon period, always on Thursday.

GENERAL
Six of Cups – Minor Arcana
Reunions; unexpect gifts.
A little boy and girl are smiling and hugging two large Water dragons, who rise out of a pond. The children symbolize the natural psychic connection all humans possess before they are taught such a thing is false. They are freely communicating with astral creatures because it is a normal thing to do. On the flower and tree-covered banks stand six chalice. The flowers and trees represent constant renewal of life, fed by the waters of the lake (emotional purity and balance). Tiny dragons flutter happily around the children, symbols of the potential power of even the tiniest pieces of cosmic energy. The six chalice represent the power of building in all its connotations; building of relationships, healing power, and bridges between people and/or species. By acknowledging this power of building, we we acknowledge the interconnectedness of all things, animate and inanimate.
Divinatory Meaning: A reunion with old friends may be near. New opportunities present themselves; be ready to act on them. Unexpected gifts may surprise you.
LOVE
The Lovers – Major Arcana
Am emotional decision.
A Forest dragon stands on the bank of a lake, its neck outstretched to touch noses with a beautiful Water dragon that rises from the waters. The gaze at each other in love, unconcerned that their attraction will prove difficult because of their very different lifestyles. For the moment, they are caught up in the power of their emotions. The Forest dragon represents the liner, analytical left brain and the conscious mind, while the Water dragon represents creativity, spiritually connected right mind and the conscious mind. To achieve success and reach goals, both halves of the brain, as well as the conscious and subconscious minds, must live and work together in harmony in order to reach a spiritual balance point. However, because of the vast differences in perceiving life and spirit, this is extremely difficult to maintain on a constant basis. Thus, we go through life in a kind of dance, approaching, then retreating from the balance point. The heron, representing generation of life, and the butterfly, symbolizing the soul itself, reveal that we must always be aware of the soul and its need to grow, regardless of our emotional side-paths.
Divinatory Meaning
A romantic encounter may come into your life. You may be faced with an attraction or a temptation that may not be good for you. There will be an attraction of opposites that will be difficult to reconcile in the long run. A difficult choice will arise; make your decision on facts, not the emotions
HEALTH
NINE OF PENTACLES – Minor Arcana
Comfortable Aloneness
A dragon and a man sit along the edge of a forest. It is a sunny day, and many small animals and birds are around the dragon and the man. The man is at one with Nature and his astral teacher, the dragon. The birds are messages from spirit to help him make a decision and find his path in life. The wolves in the background represent the strength, cunning, and wisdom he is learning, while the squirrel of resourcefulness, the rabbit of fertility, and the little mice of self-preservation help him to create a balanced attitude towards life.
DIVINATORY MEANING: You feel comfortable, safe, and at ease with yourself. There will soon be a pleasant period of being alone. A journey
Finances
King of Wands – Minor Arcana – Court Card
Ambition; leadership.
A regal looking older man sits on a richly craved throne; he wears a crown with small blue stones on the spiky tips. Because the man’s long and dedicated studies, he has earned the title of Master of Air. Chaotic thoughts no longer plague hi,, for he has became disciplined in weeding out, organizing, and bending the power of those thoughts to his concentrated desire and goals. About his shoulders is a white and multiblue mantle (comfort and contentment), with tiny dragon figures as part of the design. On one partially raised hand sits a tiny, dark blue dragon, a small messenger that helps the king to communicate with other realms. The king’s other hand holds a long staff-like wand (willpower) with a crystal tip; its glow shows the purity of his will. A huge dragon peers over the back of the above the man’s head. This is the kings guardian and advisor, a long-time companion on journeys through other realms of being. Another of his small Guardian dragons lies curled contently at his feet, its sleep revealing the calmness of the atmosphere around this powerful man.
Divinatory Meaning: A masculine influence, who is powerful in the business world, could guide you in an important decision. Ambition and leadership qualities will get you ahead in your career. Beware that haste and ego do not get you in trouble

Today’s Word is
Blessed be:
phrase generally indicating blessings upon a person, object, etc. (example “blessed by thy feet’); frequently used at the end of prayers and the like similarly to “amen” from Christian-based practices. Some Wiccans and Pagans report using the phrase as a greeting or parting. (see also Merry Meet and Merry Part)
C, sometimes read as K, is Coll, which is the Hazel tree. August is known as the Hazel Moon, because this is when Hazel nuts appear on the trees–the world Coll translates to “the life force inside you”, and what better symbol of life than the nut itself? Hazel is associated with wisdom and creativity and knowledge. Sometimes it is connected in Celtic lore with magical springs, sacred wells, and divination.
Hazel was a handy tree to have around. It was used by many English pilgrims to make staffs for use upon the road–not only was it a sturdy walking stick, it also provided a modicum of self-defense for weary travelers. Certainly, it could have been used as well for ritual. Hazel was used in weaving of baskets by medieval folk, and the leaves were fed to cattle because it was believed this would increase the cow’s supply of milk.
In the Irish myth cycles, there is a tale that nine hazel nuts dropped into a sacred pool. A salmon came along in the pool and gobbled up the nuts, which then imbued him with wisdom. A variation of the story appears in the legend of Finn Mac Cumhail, who ate the salmon and then took on the knowledge and wisdom of the fish. Note that Mac Cumhail is often translated as Mac Coll.
General: Those who understand the responsibility that comes with wealth are the ones best fitted to maintain it.
Love: Enjoy the current harmonious period but do not allow yourself to become complacent.
Business: Opportunities for business success will be there if you look for them. Do not allow yourself to become greedy though.
Personal: Take the time to enjoy mental clarity but make sure to watch for any feelings of pride or arrogance and eliminate them if necessary.
Overview: Ta Yu relates to a time of abundance when all is going well. Although an auspicious time it carries a warning not to allow yourself to become arrogant or greedy. All obstacles in all aspects of life will have disappeared and life should be enjoyed. Do not make the mistake of becoming complacent and believing this period will last forever. It won’t. Nothing does. Examine the harmonious circumstances that gave rise to your current success and do your best to preserve them. This way you will be able to maintain success as long as possible. Generosity and humility are essentials to this process.
The numerology number 14 resonates with expression of personal freedom.
The numerology number 14 is a number of expressing personal freedom, including independence and self-determination.The number 14 is curious and interested in pretty much everything.
Yet, the number generally has one or several self-assigned goals. It’s easily distracted by other, generally fleeting, interests. However, it tends to reorient onto it’s primary goals after experiencing what the other interests had to offer.
A person with a 14 in a prominent position in their numerology chart generally is comfortable interacting with others and may become an involuntary leader. Being a leader pleases 14, but the position generally isn’t actively sought.
As an overview, the numerology number 14 represents a composition containing the ideas of:
Our guardian angels are quite creative in the way they communicate with people. Never one to converse directly, they usually speak to us in the form of signs, symbols, and numbers.
Now, these numbers called angel numbers carry special meanings that we must decipher into normal language; only then can we receive and interpret our messages from the celestial beings properly.
Angels can find solutions to problems from different perspectives—perspectives that are beyond our imagination.
After all, unlike us, our angels are not limited by time nor space. They can look at a problem from different angles and guide us in the right direction.
So, if you see angel numbers, decipher them and adhere to the suggestions provided. There are many such numbers but today, let’s talk about angel number 14.
Also known as Io, Iphin is symbolic of gooseberry, which is traditionally used for childbirth. It’s believed to be sacred to the Celtic goddess Brigit and other goddesses like her who oversee matters of women’s cycle and childbirth. Gooseberry is also used in all sorts of healing charms and spells to ward off illness.
Love: Conflicted can be avoided by using your integrity.
Business: Staying honest and fair will help gain the respect of those that work for you.
Personal: Discipline and honesty should be incorporated into your approach to life.
Overview: Shih relates to discipline and integrity within all that we do. The I Ching likens Shih to an army. A country without an army is vulnerable. A country with an army is still vulnerable if it is undisciplined and poorly led. Mutual rather than personal benefit should be the rule.

Finally, it’s Sunday, the official day of rest. Not only do Christians acknowledge this day, but I’m sure many Pagans appreciate this day, as well. Everyone needs rest and lot of people need a good day to worship their creator (whomever or whatever that may be), however they deem fit to do so. With the Sun being the central theme of many ancient rituals, Sunday just seems to fit, in name and theory. Not only is it a good day to worship, it seems good to do more relaxed spells, such as, sleep, dream and rebirth.
A Colorful Sunny Day Spell
Try working this spell on a gloomy, rainy Sunday, or any day. It will lift your spirits, no matter what the weather.
Slip on your sunny outfit or wear your sun-themed jewelry, and then take a moment to imagine yourself either on a sun-drenched beach or in the middle of a bright meadow with the sun streaming down on you. Now picture that a little of the sun’s warmth is soaking into the bright colors or jewelry that you are wearing. Do you feel a bit warmer? While you are visualizing this for a moment or two, repeat the following spell three times:
Even though the skies may be cloudy and gray
I will wear the colors of the sun today
For the colors of yellow, gold, and orange, you see
Work their own sunny magick; so mote it be!
Close the spell by saying:
For the good of all, with harm to none
By color and light, this spell is done!
Then take a deep breath, blow it out, and go dazzle ’em today! Book of Witchery: Spells, Charms & Correspondences for Every Day of the Week

Items needed for this spell:
Your body
Put on your exercise apparel and start your exercise routine. Do whatever warm-ups you need to do, before starting this spell. Once you are warmed-up, Hold up your hands up in the air and move your arms in gesture, as you say this chant eight times:
“I’m a tree, I’m a tree. Today is two, for Tuesday. Tomorrow is three. Tonight the moon will rise. Everyone tells me it’s good for the body, And that I need to exercise.”
Then, put your hands on your waste. Bend to your left side, eight times, while saying this chant:
“I’m a tree, I’m a tree. I sway and bend. One, two, three. Limbering up for wind.” Repeat this chant for the right side: “I’m a tree, I’m a tree. I sway and bend. One, two, three. Limbering up for wind.”
Now, bend over and touch your toes for about eight times. Each time you bend over, say this chant:
“I’m a tree, I’m a tree. Today is two, for Tuesday. Tomorrow is three. Tonight the moon will rise. I know it’s good for my body, And that I need to exercise.”
Then, stand on one leg for about a fifteen seconds and alternate between both legs, for a total of about 4 minutes, while doing this, say this chant:
“I’m a tree, I’m a tree. Today is two, for Tuesday. Tomorrow is three. Tonight the moon will rise. If I want to stay healthy, I need to exercise.”
Finally, run in place for about 10 minutes and say this chant:
“Step, step, step, step. One after another And more to go. I’m running and talking, Every day, a little further. Taking breaths and walking. Every inch grows. Step, step, step, step. Keep going. Water in my cup. Or bottled not to spill. Always a test of the mind, And a test of the will. Might run tired, But I never give up.”
Saying these chants while exercising, will, hopefully, ensure your desire to repeat these routines, week after week, and make the time go by quicker.

Four lengths of appropriately coloured ribbon
which can be easily tied
Four pins
Your bed
Knot magic has a particular effect in ‘binding’ or fixing a spell in place and with the addition of colour it is possible to use ribbons to bring about a desired outcome. By using your own bed as a focus, your magical work can be done while you sleep. This is a very personal way of working and one which can bring particularly positive results.
If your bed has bedposts, simply knot a length of the correct colour ribbon for your purpose around each post.
Each time you do this, say:
With this knot of coloured ribbon
Bring to me the power hidden. Grant me that right Throughout this night.
If your bed has no posts then carefully pin the knotted ribbon to each corner using the same words.
Each night for two further nights touch each ribbon knot in turn and repeat the words above.
Leave the ribbons in place until you no longer feel the need for them. You can expect to have some fairly vivid dreams over the following three nights, which may help you to develop the qualities you seek. This spell allows your unconscious self to work in a protected space without the chatter of day to day matters.
To Protect a Sleeping Mind
You will need the following items for this spell:
Voice
Sleep is the time of dreams and visits. The following incantation repeated aloud at one’s bedtime will aid in the discouraging of unwanted visitors in the dreaming mind.
Before retiring for the night, repeat the following incantation aloud:
”Spirits of the night, I beseech thee,
Find favor with mine call and plea,
Draw close and circle round
Mine mind I clear and lend to sleep.
That sleep will use to rest the weary world
Let not the world and those unfavorable things within it
Visit upon mine mind unheralded
Uninvited visitors be sent away
Turned back
Turned back to the dark depths
Turned back to the sender whose name is never spoken
That thus he may gain strength
Gain strength and threaten those unable
Unable or unknowing
Unknowing or innocent
Innocents in the world
Sleeping as I sleep
Spirits of the night, I beseech thee,
Find favor with mine call and plea
Find favor and protect mine mind
Find favor and protect the innocents”.
This is best repeated nightly so as to protect ones mind and allow peaceful sleep and promote quiet dreams.
To Drive Away Bad Dreams
You will need the following items for this spell:
Bowl of warm water
Salt
Your chosen sprigs of herbs
String
This spell uses herbal magick and correspondences to clear the bedroom of negative influence. It is often a good idea to use material that is easily available, so you might use sprigs of rosemary, sage, Lady’s bedstraw, maize silks or broom-corn. Since you want something taken away you should perform this magical working as the Moon wanes.
Dissolve the salt in the warm water.
Tie the herbs together.
Dip the sprigs in the water and sprinkle the corners of the room with the water.
Use the sprigs to sprinkle the salt water on your bedclothes, and particularly round the head and foot of the bed.
When you have done this, place the herbs under your pillow, or if you prefer, under the middle of the bed.
The next morning, discard the herbs at a crossroads if you can, either by burying them or allowing them to disperse to the four winds. Otherwise ensure that you have carried them well away from your home.
This carries all negativity away from your bedroom and bed. This spell uses rosemary which brings clarity, sage for wisdom, ladies bedstraw which is said to have lined the manger at Christs birth, and broom corn, which is used in worship of the Mexican goddess Chicomecohuatl. All these herbs bring cleansing, not just of the room but also of the occupants aura or subtle energy. On the basis that one should always replace negative with positive, you may like to use the following technique to bring about positive dreams.
Having prepared your environment, this next technique is of most use when there is a strong, deeply felt association with the issue or request being considered in magical terms, ideal conditions for spell working. It is like being able to consult an encyclopedia that contains a wealth of information in fact, the Higher Self.
