JUN. 24: TEMPLAR HOLY DAY. In the Roman calendar this day was thought to be Summer Solstice. The Church renamed this pagan holiday to St. John the Baptist Day. Templars revered it highly. On Jun 24, 1314 a mysterious band of knights joined Robert the Bruce of Scotland on the battlefield making his victory at Bannockburn possible. These knights could only have been the a troop of disbanded and now in-hiding Templars who had fled to western Scotland. St. John’s day was used by Freemasons in 1717 to found the first public (non-Scottish) Order of Freemasonry in London. Masonic teachings are said to descend from the esoteric Christianity of Templarism. St. John the Baptizer was beheaded because he wouldn’t give in and sacrifice his principles. This is a Templar ideal, as is the constancy and regularity — order out of chaos — of the solstices and equinoxes. So for both reasons, Christian and “pagan,” we observe this day.

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.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface.

Spell For Friday – Attract Love and Intimacy Bath

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

LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one take the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them then go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you then please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals, birds, reptiles, or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.

Attract Love & Intimacy Bath

Description

Boost the intimacy and love you have in your life with our “Attract Love & Intimacy” bath spell. This spell is best performed on a Friday, the day ruled by the planet Venus and during a waxing moon (when the moon is moving from new to full). The energy of Venus governs the domain of love. We want to help you achieve the best results, using as many aligning correspondences as possible.

 

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

Love & Attraction Oil

Love & Attraction Soap

Taper Household Candles 6″ (Pink for plutonic, Red for passion)

Patchouli Spice Bath Salts

HOW TO PERFORM:

Begin by cleaning your candle by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take 3 full breaths while holding your candle and visualize yourself happily surrounded by love and intimacy. Connect with your intention deeply, use all your senses. Breathe your intention onto your candle 3 times and whisper your intention.

Begin to prepare your candle by carving in symbols or create a sigil for love. Hearts, a cupids arrow, or whatever symbols represent love and intimacy for you works.  Carve your intention onto your candle.

With your oil rub a thin layer over top of your talisman and your candle. Move in a clockwise direction from the top to the bottom to attract love in to your life. Anoint your heart and feel it full of happiness from the abundance of love in your life.

Once your anointed and your candle is fully dressed and charged place your candle in a fire safe container in your bathroom somewhere you can see it from your bathtub. Light your candle while repeating your intention for love out loud.

Draw your bath adding the patchouli bath salts into the warm water. Submerge a rose quartz stone for added love and attraction if you have one.

Spend 10-30 minutes in the bath deeply concentrating on the abundance of love you’re about to call into your life. Feel the love and joy in your life, sing to some of your favourite songs, read a book featuring a relationship you admire and want. This is your time, experience the luxury of your bath. Once your finished step out onto your floor full of the attraction for love and abundance you have in your body. Don’t forget to dispose of your candle in an ethical way.

The year they were first posted and any notes by Lady Beltane will be in { } next to the type of reading it is. With doing this tribute to Lady Abyss some of the regular divination topics will be missing because Lady A did not post the topic.

Tarot Card {c. 2017}

Earth Reversed

{Deck this came from is unknown to me}

Earth reversed denotes a lack of positive connection with the life spirit–a lost soul. If you are not careful you may miss much of what life has to offer you.

Rune{c. 2017}

Isa 

“Iss-ah” – Literally: “Ice” – Esoteric: Stasis, Stillness

Rune of concentration of things in a static or frozen state. Rune of stillness and the Ego-Self.

Psi:
mental faculties, focus, ego, self-image/self-identity

Energy:
stillness, contraction, stasis

Mundane: cold, self-preservation, harsh reality

Divinations: Concentrated self, ego-consciousness, self-control, unity of being; or egomania, dullness, blindness, dissipation, immobility, self-centeredness, lack of change, psychopathy.

Governs:

Development of concentration, will and focus
Halting of unwanted dynamic forces as an act of self-defense (ard against demonic influences)
Basic ego integration within a balanced multiversal system
Power of control and constraint over other wights (entities), emotional outbursts
Focus of the will into single-minded action

Animal Spirit{c.2017}

Mockingbird

Mockingbirds are master imitators, and can mimic the calls of many other birds. They’re also fearless protectors of their nest, and will attack any bird (no matter how large) to protect their young. Mockingbird’s lesson for you today is twofold: to listen to how you might be mimicking others—instead of listening to your own true voice; and to examine the value of what you defend. Hmmm?

Ogham {c. 2018}

 

Fearn-Alder

The third letter of the Ogham alphabet is Fearn it means alder-tree. Alder-bark has been used by many cultures to treat various health problems and disorders, everything from insect bites to tuberculosis. Alder is a very water resistant hardwood and is often used in foundations where water is present. The key points to remember with alder are confidence, shielding, guidance, and standing up to ones enemies. Just as water stands no chance against alder, your enemies are at a loss when you have the protection of the alder.

Fortune – Drawing this Ogham is a sign to remain true to yourself and resist all temptation!

 The name Gemini comes from the Latin name for Twins, in Spanish this sign is called Geminis and in French Gémeaux, while in Greece the sign for May 24 zodiac sign is called Dioscuri.

 Opposite sign: Sagittarius. On the horoscope chart, this and the Gemini sun sign are on opposite sides, reflecting wits and courage and some sort of balancing act between the two with a creation of opposite aspects at times.

 Modality: Mobile. Presents how much philosophy and analytic sense exists in the lives of those born on May 24 and how good-looking they are in general.

 Ruling house: The third house. This house is a space of human interactions and communication. It has the main influence on travel and tourism related activities. It explains why Geminis are in a permanent search to expand their knowledge through social contact.

 Ruling body: Mercury. This planet is said to govern over expertise and education and also reflects the liveliness inheritance. Mercury is also recognized as the messenger god.

 Element: Air. This element symbolizes creation and perpetual change and is considered to influence people connected to May 24 zodiac. Air also gets new meanings in association with fire, making things heat up, evaporating water while earth seems to suffocate it.

 Lucky day: Wednesday. This is a day ruled by Mercury, therefore symbolizes change and observation and identifies best with the Gemini natives who are witty.

 Lucky numbers: 2, 4, 17, 18, 24.

 Motto: “I think!”

 People born on May 24 are cerebral, eloquent and have a great sense of humor. They are friendly and warm hearted and appear to be very charming to people who meet them for the first time. They dread being caught in a routine and all their lives are going to run away from feelings of permanence. They enjoy travelling very much, be it short or long distance, because they feel it opens their minds up and satisfies their innate curiosity.

 Positive traits: Intellectual and versatile, they say whatever is on their mind at any time, without being afraid of reactions. Gemini people are usually youthful and full of energy all day long and they know how to be affectionate to the people they care about. Those born under this sign have many hidden talents and are always in search of new experiences, many of them involving people.

 Negative traits: These natives often give up rapider than they should and are extremely selfish at times. They tend to be quite exasperated and accumulate strain in settings where they feel they are not the privileged ones. They also begin many projects at once and have a tendency to involve a lot of people in them to then transformation their mind and leave everyone half way through. They are devious and can lose their temper rapidly when people don’t respond the way they expect them to.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 24 are versatile and ingenious. They do know how to conquer someone they get passionate, not only they know how to charm their way through words but also with gestures. They are attracted to active and unpredictable person who can keep them guessing but also keep up with their energy. For the sociable Gemini, love comes fast and goes even faster. You can conquer the heart of Gemini if you have an interesting personality and you know how to reveal it step by step and you are able to accept their eccentricities.

 Remarkably charming and affectionate they sometimes fall in love just for the feeling of it and not for the person near them. Once they find the right person, they will dedicate all their life and everything they have to this relationship and will ask for the same. They are a very kind soul and this won’t remain unnoticed by the important persons in their life. They will lead a great inner home happiness governed by domestic responsibility and good judgment. They are most compatible with those born on the 1st, 6th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 18th, 19th, 24th and 27th.

 May 24 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two air signs: Libra and Aquarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Gemini is in a constant search for a person that can truly understand their need to be listened to and the best to do this is the native in Sagittarius. The lover in 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: The lucky color for those born under the May 24 is yellow.

Yellow symbolizes brightness, joy and warmth and is exactly what the natives in Gemini need to keep up their lively attitude. The zodiac color should be used in items of clothing or objects in the house.

People having yellow as sign color are governed by attention to detail in every aspect of their life. They are vulnerable people under stress and consider they should hide their emotions. They don’t like to share their feelings or any sign of weakness.

This birthstone sooths and calms the energetic Gemini and helps them orient their energy in making themselves and their ideas understood by other people. Uruguay and Southern Brazil are the most known places where Agates can be found.

If you were born on May 24, you are incredibly well-rounded! You seem to have life dialed in. Between your career, family, and social life, you’ve learned how to masterfully balance it all. You have your routines and patterns that help you stay in touch with everything going on in your life. But when was the last time you opened up to anyone? You’re always on the move, offering up all your energy to other people and responsibilities. Take time for self-care, too, otherwise you just might snap.

May 24 Gemini at Their Best: Genius, social, balanced

May 24 Gemini at Their Worst: Cocky, closed, irritable

What to Wear: Business casual clothes. Gemini doesn’t like anything stuffy or buttoned-up, but gets annoyed when guests don’t make the effort to look good.

What to Eat: Anything that packs a crunch — start with crudité and move on to finger foods and cute surprises like fried zucchini or egg rolls.

Who to Invite: Gemini knows everybody. So that’s who you’ll have to invite.

Where to Go: If the local football stadium isn’t available, consider a rather large restaurant or outside space.

May 24 birthday horoscope predicts that you are a social butterfly. Characteristically, you are the center of attention at parties. People gather around you, as you are an attractive, gracious, and a generous host. You love being in the limelight and make a good host.

You still smile, so it can be hard to “read” a Gemini. Also, these people can handle a great deal of stress. Do not let their sweet and innocent looks fool you… these are competent individuals. Nevertheless, because of their appearance and mannerisms, they are likely to have things handed to them.

The May 24th birthday meanings predict that you put up a good front, but you and your family may not get along so great. Perhaps some issues that are from the unspoken past have not been resolved. You need to address these issues before parenting.

Friendship, intimacy, and communication are the foundations for a lasting relationship.When the two souls meet, you receive great pleasure from this feeling of love. This could be a great relationship with someone who meets this Gemini birthday person’s requirements but is careful, this one is the jealous type. Those born on this day can be a laid back “homebody” but on occasion treat themselves to some stimulating conversations as you don’t like being by yourself.

The May 24th birthday astrology analysis predicts that you must choose your path in pursuit of happiness. These Gemini are very inventive people and creative individuals. You are likely a shark when it comes to making business decisions. Although, as a career choice, due to your broad language dexterity, you would make a great author or songwriter.

Even politics would be a suitable profession for the May 24 zodiac birthday who is as far as yourself. You desire fame rather than fortune but living the lifestyle of the rich and famous is more to your liking. When it comes to managing your money, you stow away for that stormy day. However, you love splurging at exclusive locations.

For the May 24 birthday personality, good health is a top priority, as you like to exercise. You like to eat so you are good in the kitchen and are capable of making some delicious organic meals. It is also important that you get enough rest. As the May 24 zodiac sign is Gemini, you will show signs of sleeplessness around the eyes or will appear to look somewhat faded.

The May 24 horoscope predicts that you, like stimulating debates. But as you are opinionated, can become upset and are likely to hide any emotional trauma. This Gemini can deal with a lot of stress but will avoid an argument. You refuse to get into any conflict that troubles your personality.

Queen of Pentacles – Minor Arcana Court Card

Traditionally, representing the energy of a Queen, this feminine guardian is endowed with enormous good sense and problem solving energy, but she is not particularly entrepreneurial. She loves to advise, encourage, and empower those she gets involved with, studying their problems with them and setting them up to solve them. Traditionally, she was pictured as the Sibyl or Oracle, perhaps a Tarot reader, who made herself available to people in need, no matter what their social class or situation. In modern times, she will be found educating, healing, managing disaster aid programs or a charitable drive of some sort.
In every case, she does not see the benefits that exist in her life as belonging solely to her. She feels the needs of her people and will spend freely of her time, energy, skills, money to see that nobody is left out. For this, and because she likes to work in an atmosphere of beauty, enjoyment and abundance, she is sometimes accused of being extravagant. But she works hard, and she sees no reason to deny herself the rewards of a job well done. Everyone who comes in contact with her feels enriched by her enjoyment in living.

Generally, the news will lead to a positive change but pay close attention to the nearest runes to determine its nature.

Hexagram Forty/40

Hsieh / Liberation

A Thunderous Cloudburst shatters the oppressive humidity:
The Superior Person knows the release in forgiveness, pardoning the faults of others and dealing gently with those who sin against him.

It pays to accept things as they are for now.
If there is nothing else to be gained, a return brings good fortune.
If there is something yet to be gained, act on it at once.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

The relief you experience here is not your own personal pardon, but the release of others from your rigid expectations.
Like a hot air balloon, you will rise to new heights as you cast the heavy sandbags of resentments and restrictions away from you.
Feel the lightness of being that results from forgiving others and accepting them as they are.
Free yourself of the endless vigil of policing the behavior of others.
See them for who they are, not what they can or can’t do for you.

All Signs

A major Gemini hit is arriving. On Monday, the Sun enters Gemini for the first time in a year to stay for four weeks. This will enliven everyone and create spirited and exciting times. (“Look –a bright shiny object!”) This also empowers fellow Air signs Libra and Aquarius, and boosts the energy of Aries and Leo. (A Leo paid me to say this.) Expect exciting chances to socialize and meet people this week as we forge new alliances and see new places. But lo! What news from yonder modem breaks? On Saturday, Jupiter enters Gemini for the first time in 12 years bringing dazzling possibilities! This ushers in a new brand of good luck for all of us in the next 12 months! No need to get in line. The magic will happen!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The pace of your days will accelerate starting this week. In fact, this busy, exciting shift will actually last for the next year! This is why you will be taking more short trips, talking to siblings, relatives and neighbours, plus reading, writing and studying. In fact, the year ahead offers you great opportunities to gain advancement in any field of study. However, perhaps the single most exciting shift for you will be that your optimism will grow. Your plans for the future will be larger and more expansive. You will entertain ambitious ideas and believe that you can do them, which means you probably will! This kind of confidence is empowering.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Oh my! Excellent news for your sign (considering that you’re the financial wizard of the zodiac). In the next 12 months, you will get richer. Factoid. This might happen for many reasons. You might inherit. You might find a better paying job. You might see ways to make money on the side. You might get a raise. You might even feel richer simply because you buy yourself something that increases your status in the eyes of others and you feel entitled. Not only that, you will see ways to make more money. You’ll have excellent moneymaking ideas. Some of you will travel and many of you will earn money by dealing with other countries. Not too shabby.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Well, it’s all about you, dear Gemini. This week the Sun, fair Venus and lucky Jupiter all enter your sign. (It doesn’t get better than this.) Your energy will increase. You will feel happier, buoyant and more enthusiastic about life. You will look good to others! You will be more charming and diplomatic; and yet, at the same time, you’ll be enthusiastic and magnetic, which is why others will be attracted to you. All kinds of people and resources will be drawn to you, which means you’re looking at one of the most fortunate years ahead that you have had in over a decade. In fact, this blessing can only come to you about three or four times in your adult life. Get ready to dress for success!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Beginning this week, you will feel a subtle shift because in many ways, there will be a sense of peace and privacy being restored to your world. In the past year, you have had more interactions with friends and groups, sometimes to the extent of being too busy and too involved with organizations. For different reasons, you will start to protect and value your own privacy more. You might start to explore the spiritual and religious dimensions of your life more deeply than you have in the past. You might also spend time helping someone either personally or (in a broader way) your community. Your ideals will become noble and lofty.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week you’re entering an exciting shift. The first thing you will notice is that you’re becoming more popular, and eager and willing to engage with friends and see people. Many of you will start to become more involved in groups, clubs or organizations. In fact, some of you might take on a leadership role (which is second nature for you). Your desire to travel and expand your world will definitely grow. Very likely, you will give greater thought to your future goals as well. Fortunately, Jupiter will encourage you to think big and expect the best for yourself. You will start to think about doing things you wouldn’t have dreamed about before. “To infinity and beyond!”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a pivotal time for you because for the first time in a year, the Sun will cross the top of your chart in the next four weeks, making you look fabulous! (This could cause increased responsibilities to come your way.) But better than that, lucky Jupiter will also cross the top of your chart during the next 12 months! (First time in over a decade.) Major bonus! Expect wonderful opportunities to boost your good name and success. This ushers in a successful time for your profession, your career, your social status and reputation. This will also gives some of you a chance to change your field of work to medicine, healing or something to do with travel. All hail Virgo!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your life will improve starting this week because you will attract numerous opportunities to travel in the next 12 months. Not only will you travel and explore more of the world, you will study and learn. You might go back to school. You might take courses. You might teach courses. Opportunities in publishing also exist, so you might publish or write a book. Likewise, opportunities in the legal field will abound! Similar chances to explore advancement in the medical profession or anything to do with healing will also benefit you. In the next several weeks, you might discover new romance with someone “different” or from another culture. Sweet!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

They say that no news is good news, but when it comes to financial matters – it’s nice to know the next 12 months will favour you financially. Yay! Bring it on! This is because lucky Jupiter, which can expand, magnify and attract good fortune will be sitting in one of your Money Houses! You might inherit. You might get money back from the government. You might get money from an insurance payout. You might benefit indirectly because your partner makes more money or gets a bonus. Certainly, your business partner might bring money or something advantageous to the table. Right now, you’re working hard, which sets the stage for future wealth.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Great news! This week the Sun, Venus and lucky Jupiter will enter your House of Partnerships, giving this area of your life a marvellous boost. The Sun and Venus will be brief, but pleasant. However, Jupiter will bring an even greater benefit for the next 12 months! In fact, it is such a benefit to your closest relationships, this window of time is the best time for your sign to get married since 2012. Many of you will meet foreign people and people from other cultures. For those of you who do marry, you might marry someone slightly older or more well-established. This is a time of culmination in your life, which makes you want to go after everything. (It’s okay to have your head in the clouds if you keep your feet on the ground.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re heading into a fortunate window because planetary aspects will help you to improve your health in the next year. Plus, Jupiter will certainly attract opportunities for you to improve your job. And if you don’t improve your job, or your nasty boss does not get transferred or fired, then you will find a better job. Trust me. This is the best chance for you in over a decade to both improve your health and improve your work! In the immediate future, romance related to your work might percolate. In the long-range future, work-related travel is highly likely. Meanwhile, do what you can to keep the peace at home. Easy does it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some people get lucky, and this year, it’s you! This week the Sun, Venus and lucky Jupiter move to the part of your chart that encourages the arts, romance, vacations, social outings, parties, sports events and involvement with children. All the fun stuff! Your creative potential will be enormous! Your health will feel vigourous and you will have a heightened feeling of well-being for the next 12 months! Believe it or not, this is even a good time for financial matters, especially financial speculation. (Mom always liked you best.) Many of you will also do something to make your surroundings more elegant. (You know who you are.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This week ushers in a delightful influence for you that will improve your family life in a beautiful way. Family members will be more generous to each other. They will be more loving to each other. In fact, some of you might expand your family through birth, marriage or adoption. By extension, you can improve your home. This means you will improve your existing home, through redecorating or renovations; or you might move to something that you like better. In the same vein (but the other arm), you can make money through real-estate speculation or by buying and selling your own home. Ka-ching!

A GENERAL CHARGE FOR SPELL WORK

The following chant is a good all purpose chant that can be used for just about any spell:

Witches power burning bright, tarot, rune and blade,
Charge the spell, enfilled with might, here and now the magic’s made.
Wave and tree, hedge and flame, strength of the elements gather here,
Mystic Moon and Brilliant Sun, send your power here this way,
Gracious Lady, Mighty Lord, bless this charge that I lay.
Powers that are, powers that be, gather round this spell I cast,
empower my working three times three, send it forth to see it last!

So Mote it Be!
