A Very Blessed Saturday Morning To All My Family & Friends!

Good Morning Images
“GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!”

Wake up, little sleepy heads!

Guess who is knocking on your screen this morning? Little old me, of course. If you remember yesterday we had to cut our daily edition short. Brother, was it a mess. I contacted WordPress and told them what was going on. Since I had several people tell me that the site was down yesterday. I am hoping the problem has been fixed. We are getting ready to see because I am starting the Saturday edition, right now…………

Have a super Saturday and a very relaxing weekend, you deserve it,

Love & Hugs,

Lady A

Thank The Goddess It Is Thursday, Terrific, Fabulous Thursday!


Good Morning my dear brothers & sisters of The Craft! How is each and everyone of you doing? I hope super. Since I am getting an early start today, I have two things I want to discuss with you. One is happy and the other pisses me to the bone.

First the happy one, I got the poll results about wanting a raffle for a shopping spree in the store. Guess What? It was a yes. You want a chance at a $50.00 shopping spree in our little store, fabulous. I will make up the golden ticket tonight and tomorrow the raffle will start. The golden ticket is symbolic that you won. Don’t worry if you lose it, we will have your name and keep up with the amount you have left to spend. I should add there will be no tax added to this $50.00 so it all goes toward merchandise. All there is left to say is “Good Luck!”

Now for the thing that pisses me to the bottom…….If you will remember yesterday, the Deity of the Day was Ishtar. Her description was exactly this:

Deity of the Day – Ishtar

Ishtar

Dual-aspected Assyro-Babylonian Goddess. She is a warrior Goddess but also the Goddess of Love. She is the patroness and protector of prostitutes (sacred prostitution formed part of her worship) and when she descended to the earthly plane, she was almost always in the company of “courtesans, harlots and strumpets”. If a working girl or exotic dancer is in trouble, she can call on Ishtar for protection and Ishtar will provide it in her warrior Goddess form. As Goddess of Love and voluptuousness, Ishtar can help you if you wish to attract a lover or increase your sexual attractiveness. Beware though, she does have an irritable, violently passionate side to Her Nature.

This was reblogged on another site with this comment made about this Deity….

“Sounds like a Goddess that could REALLY benefit a “Seductress” Eh?  HA!  Geesh”

I guess this clown thought it was funny but I don’t. All of our Goddesses, Gods, and Deities are very sacred to us. To make fun or even a slight remark like this is blasphemy as far as I am concerned. There is one thing I can say about our Gods, Goddesses and Deities, they overlook no one. Whether you are a common prostitute or a drug dealer, they see your potential for good. And they are there to pull you out of your slump and give you new hope and guidance for a better life.

I know my Goddesses, Gods and Deities are real. I feel them constantly, they are everywhere. I have a very high respect and regards for them. I would never, ever say anything even in jest against them. And I pity the person that would. It only shows their ignorance and the lack of respect for other religions.

I have never bashed another Religion on this site and I never will. I keep hoping for a better day when we can all respect each other, their lifestyles and their Religions. But it seems that day is still a long way off.

I know it is only one Deity so why make a big deal about it. Simple, it starts with one then leads to two, then three and so on. After a while it is our entire Religion, do you want that? I know I don’t. We have worked to hard to allow this to happen. Whether it is one Deity or our entire Religion in question, we must stand up against those who are so ignorant as to make fun or ridicule us in anyway.

We must always stand up for ourselves and our Religion, if we don’t no one will. Remember that. Remember how far we have came and remember we will let no one put us down again, EVER!

*As far as this site goes that made the remark about Ishtar, I will be contacting WordPress today in regards to Religious Bashing. All of the sites that have been accused of religious bashing has been closed down and no longer exist on WordPress.*

Wishing You All A Very Happy & Blessed Wednesday!

I promise I will try to make this as quick as possible. But you know me when I get started talking, I don’t have sense enough to quit, lol! Anybody else had said that I would have been pissed! I am in a good mood believe it or not. I just wanted to take a moment tell everyone of you who purchased Raffle tickets, Thank you! I can never say it enough and I know I should, Thank you all and I truly do love you with all my heart. Maybe it’s that time of the year, when a witch stops to think about all the good things in her life. That she normally takes for granted. I know I am truly thankful for everyone of you and I consider you all my family. Don’t ever forget that, my luvs!

I know you are wondering what put me in this mood. Thanks to everyone of you, our domain payment to WordPress went through without a hitch. The domain is paid in full for another year. Thank you so much for saving our home. When I say ours, I mean yours too. No matter where the WOTC has called home, whether it was just starting out on MSN till now, the WOTC is your home. I am just the simple caretaker. I want you to always feel that way about this spot on the net. Without you, the WOTC would not exist. But back to business, I wasn’t too happy with WordPress at all yesterday. The domain bill was due December 2nd. If they had held up to that, we would have had no problem paying it. I was going to pay it myself. But they didn’t and I will tell you it made me very angry. Especially when they threw up that block, that galled my rump to no end. The only thing I knew to do was pay it through our PayPal account (at the time I didn’t know everything in my purse had been stolen, that another tale though). But they say hindsight is 20 – 20, if I knew WordPress was going to do that, I would have been looking for us a new home. I have bragged on them and bragged on them. And to be treated like that, I don’t know how to describe it. So I think between now and next year’s payment comes due, we might be finding a new home. Just a maybe, I wouldn’t want to lose any of you. That has always been my experience, every time we have moved in the pass, we have loss hundreds of friends and family.

I told you I was going to make this brief. But it’s not entirely my fault for taking so long, I have been on the phone.  I just wanted to thank you again and let you know that we are now safe for another year. Thanks to you!

Now down to business……

Luv & Hugs,

Lady A

Thank You for the donations, Please remember the Raffle is still going!

Thank you all that have donated today. Please remember that the Raffle will be going till the 29th of this month. And of course, goofy (me) has her butt in a crack with WordPress over the payment for our domain.

I got to looking for my purse and come to find out I left it out in the truck. It has been in the truck since Saturday. Someone broke into the truck on the driver’s side (that side you can’t see from looking out). And anyway, my entire wallet was stolen. So I am really up a creek without a paddle. I called the bank and they have froze my account. But my PayPal account is still open. Thank the Goddess.

So if you would like to still participate in the Raffle we would deeply appreciate it and definitely now need it before WordPress finds out that the card is going to bounce like a hot potato. Thank goodness it take three days for a notice to come from your bank. I have just had way to much on my mind recently. I hope my life eventually returns to normal. But what is normal?

Thank you for all your help and love. Just remember if you want to get a ticket it is not to late.

Thank you all and I love you so much,

Lady A

 

We Need Your Help!

Our domain was up for renewal on December 2nd. WordPress just through up a block after my last post. The block prevented me from adding any further posts till I paid them our domain fee. Well I did it and I don’t know how I did. I gave them a credit card which draw money out of my account (which is flat broke).

We need your help to cover the cost of the domain charge. If you will remember we still have the Raffle for a Cause going on. We would deeply appreciate it if we could have a few more donations to cover the domain fee. Plus you will be getting some great merchandise for your donation. We would appreciate any amount you would be willing to donate. Every donation is appreciated and we love you for all the support you have given us in the past.

Thank you so much,

Lady A & The WOTC

Today’s Tarot Card for November 8th is Justice

Justice

Friday, Nov 8th, 2013

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traditionally, what has been known as the Justice card has to do with moral sensitivity and that which gives rise to empathy, compassion and a sense of fairness. Since the time of Solomon, this image has represented a standard for the humane and fair-minded treatment of other beings.

Often including the image of a fulcrum which helps to balance competing needs against the greater good, and a two-edged sword to symbolize the precision needed to make clear judgments, this card reminds us to be careful to attend to important details. It’s a mistake to overlook or minimize anything where this card is concerned. The law of Karma is represented here — what goes around comes around.

Wishing You A Very Blessed Monday & A Happy 3rd Anniversary, WOTC!

Happy Anniversary Images
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, WOTC!

Well believe it or not, I was ready to run till about 20 minutes ago. Twenty minutes ago, WordPress threw me for a loop! When I came to the site there was this small golden bowl (loving cup) in our comment section. I hadn’t ever seen anything like it before. I had to check it out. We have always got strange symbols in that spot when we get so many “likes.” So I was thinking what the heck? Did we get a thousand likes or something? Nothing like that but much better. WordPress had dropped the bowl or loving cup off to tell us “HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY” with them.

I thought that was super nice of them. WordPress keeps up with us better than I do. But three years ago, on this very day, the WOTC was born again. Oh, maybe I should have used reincarnated, lol! But over the years, we have had to reinvent ourselves over and over again. Moving from site to site, group to group, now we are home. I love working with WP. They have helped us everyway possible.I believe they are the best and most professional site providers, I have ever been involved with. And brother, I have been involved with quite a few.

It is not only WordPress’ help that has got us where we are today. But you as our followers, friends, family and loved ones. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t be what we are. You are the heart and soul of the WOTC. We love everyone of you and thank you for standing with us during the past three years.

Now, we have accomplished so much in the past three years. I am looking forward to a bright and very prosperous three more years. With the Goddess’ help and a few cosmic slaps, we should have a very exciting time ahead of us.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WOTC!

Lady Of The Abyss, Mystie & The Whole WOTC bunch

Thank You, Goddess!
The Goddess deserves more credit
and thanks than I can ever give Her.
When I was down and out,
My Divine Mother picked me up,
Dusted me off and gave me the
courage and will to do it one more time.
Without Her help, support and love,
I would be nothing.
Thank you, My Most Divine Mother!

Today’s Tarot Card for October 16th is Strength

Strength

Wednesday, Oct 16th, 2013

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What has traditionally been known as the Strength card represents Nature which, however wild in its primal form, is tamed by our subtler, finer (feminine, interior) self. The will and passion of our instinctive nature does not need to be broken, but refined and brought to consciousness — so that all levels of Creation, inner and outer, may come into harmony.

The feminine soul-force contains a persuasive power that can nurture and induce cooperation from others, stilling disruptive energies by harmonizing differences in the spirit of collective good will.

Wishing You A Very Blessed Wednesday Morn, my dear family!

Good Morning Images
Sorry I am running late but I had a few items I had to take care of. I really started out this morning on the computer at 9:00, can you believe that? Now it is after 11:00 and I finally made it. My life’s story, I will be late to my own funeral, lol!

Well the government shut down has finally hit home. I said the other day I didn’t want to mix religion and the government. But the government has politely interfered with our happy little lives. I know we aren’t the only ones and I apologize for what I am getting ready to do. I really don’t have any other choice though. I have called all the resources we have for getting funds when we are running low. Everyone of them depends on the government (which some I didn’t know they did) and they have no money. Right now, I am sitting and staring at a light bill that has to be paid and we have no money either.

The raffle this month has been a flop. I figure that is because of the government. We have had two individuals sign up for it and I appreciate you both so much. But till I can get a store going, yes a store. WordPress has fixed it were we can actually have a store on here now. Yahoo, Way to Go, WordPress! But if the government don’t get it act together, we won’t sell anything. See I am in a lovely mood today. A real optimist, ha!

So my last hope is turning to my family on the net. I hate like heck to but I have too. If the power doesn’t stay on, there is no daily WOTC. So if you could please spare a dime or two, we would be most grateful. You have never let us down in the past and I am hoping that is true this time. Like I said I hate to ask but you all are my last resort. Please help us out, any amount will be great appreciate.

Thank you so much,

Lady A & The WOTC

Finally, “GOOD AFTERNOON WOTC!” A Fantastic Friday To All!

Getting Lady Abyss out of the graphics is about as bad as pulling teeth.  No joke! She is like a kid in a candy store. The only bad thing about WordPress is that you can’t have two or three people working on the site at the same time. So one has to stop while the other one gets started. I finally got her gone by reminding her she still has to write the front page for the site. She flew, I really should have said that sooner, lol!

We talked it over and I know Lady A mentioned the disclaimer (which everyone thought was a good idea). Then we decided the whole front page is going to be a disclaimer but at the same time telling the truth about our Religion. We figured that this time of the year is the only time some will seek a site like this out. Why not take advantage of it? Tell exactly what Witchcraft is about and at the end, if they still haven’t got the point, a mild disclaimer. I told Lady A she should have already wrote the front page. The interesting “NOT” comments have already started. Just a little early this year, should be a very interesting season, lmao! Thank the Goddess for the super spammer stopper WordPress provides us!

I have talked more than work, time to get busy.

Have a very fantastic Friday,

Mystie

 

Wishing You A Very Blessed & Prosperous Mabon Dear Friends & Family!


Mabon Comments & Graphics

Hail and Merry  Meet to all those who have gathered here today, In the name of our most Divine and Holy Mother, The Goddess. And To Celebrate the Harvest of Mabon!

There is chaos all around us. But we just take time from the world’s problems and now focus on ourselves. It is our time to rejoice and give thanks to our great Mother for the harvest and bounty She has bestowed upon us. We are to sing Our Mother’s Praises to the top of the roof. For She is our all with out our Holy Mother, we are nothing.

Today in honor of our Great Goddess and our love for you. Mystie and myself will be casting an online ritual for you. There is nothing you need to do except if the Spirit moves you to add a “So Mote It Be” when needed. We would also ask that you have patience with us. WordPress does not let both of us in this account at the same time. So we might have to log in and log out. If that happens, please we ask that you quietly pray for us as we try to perform this feat for you.

Quiet, please….

The Ritual is about to begin,

Now enters the High Priestess carrying her basket of grain……

Good Thursday Morning WOTC! Having A Very Blessed Day So Far?

website_down_for_maintenanceWe are currently updating our site. Lady A wouldn’t let me do it, lol! Can’t imagine why I could even get the date or day right yesterday :s . Bad day, bad day! WordPress won’t let us post while Lady A updates the site. That is why we all have to stop what we are doing till she is finished.

As soon as she is finished with the updates we will be right back. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Feel free to poke around, look, read, put your feet up and relax!

Have a super day,

The WOTC

Seven Things About Myself. Hmm, my life is an open book, what don’t you know, lol!

1.  I am a Kentucky Hillbilly

2.  I am a Solitary Practitioner

3.  I am a Hereditary Witch. I was raised around a lot of Granny Magick in the Mountains of Kentucky.

4,  I long for the peaceful and quiet life of the Mountains again. It is just so peaceful and beautiful there. If you could see it, you would never want to leave it either.

5.  If I moved to the mountains, I would have to make sure they had the internet somewhere up there, lol! I could stand to part with my family and friends here.

6.  The WOTC is my baby. But as it has grew and gotten bigger, I now say, “The WOTC is yours, I am just the caretaker.” I sincerely hope you think of the WOTC as your home on the net. Because that is how I want you to think of it.

7.  And on a very personal note, I am recently separated from my husband and plan on divorcing. Am I sad, a little but it is something I should have done a long time ago. When the divorce is final, we are going to have one hell of a party! You are all invited!

Arrow Spell – Eight of Wands

Arrow Spell – Eight of Wands

 

One of the traditional meanings of the eight of wands tarot card is love at first sight.  The eight wands represents the arrows of love.

Carve and dress a red candle as desired, using love-drawing oils. Burn the candle. Place an eight wands card upright near the candle so it is easily visible.

Once the candle burns down, place the card underneath your pillow so that it can provide romantic insight and inspiration while you sleep. During the day wear rose quartz in a charm bag, pocket or tucked into your bra to attract and maintain the love you desire
