Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemisphere

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. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, December 3 to Saturday, December 9, 2023

All Signs

This week is the perfect time for teamwork because we will get more done by cooperating with others. Meanwhile, on Monday, Venus enters lusty, passionate Scorpio to stay until the end of the year. This will increase our interest in romance as well as feelings of longing and desire. In a timely fashion, there are several opportunities for spontaneous romance this week. (Woot!) At the end of the week, on Saturday the 9th, we can enjoy a great day to party and socialize! “Come on in! Get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini!”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A chance to travel is what you need. And if you can’t travel now, then make travel plans because you want to get outta Dodge. For those who can’t travel at all – be a tourist in your own city. Check out your local neighbourhood for places you’ve never seen. For the rest of this month, you will feel sexy and passionate! However, you will also attract money to you from your spouse, business partner or a third party like a bank or the government. Major bonus! This is also a great week to talk to bosses, parents and VIPs to ask for a raise or to make your pitch or move your agenda forward. (Thursday is the best day for this.) Continue to look for ways to boost your income because this is possible! Ka-ching!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a passionate, intense week for you. On Monday, fair Venus moves into Scorpio, which is opposite your sign. This means not only will you enjoy passionate intimacy (who has time to record this in a diary?) — but with Venus opposite your sign, all your relationships will be friendlier, more lighthearted and happier. In a way, this is not surprising because with Jupiter in your sign, you have divine protection. Get ready for a lovely week. Make note that working with others is how you can be the most productive. It’s an excellent time to study and finish manuscripts, papers, screenplays or whatever. Dress so that you feel attractive. Make sure you like what you see in the mirror.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You still need more sleep and more rest. Fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which might be challenging because when Mars is opposite your sign, it can trigger conflict with those who are closest to you. (This can even heighten tension with your enemies.) Naturally, all of this is exhausting. Fortunately, relations with coworkers are excellent. In fact, a work-related romance might begin for some of you. In addition, discussions about loans, mortgages, inheritances and anything to do with the wealth and resources of someone else – a bank, a third party or your partner – these discussions will go well. Things will be settled in your favour. (Bucks in jeans!)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a productive week because both the Sun and fiery Mars are in your House of Employment, which motivates you to work — and work smart. Many of you will delegate tasks to others to get things done. Fortunately, this week is not all work and no play. Au contraire! Venus has just entered the part of your chart that attracts romance and fun socializing! Spontaneous romance, new love and opportunities to party will dazzle you for the rest of the month! Meanwhile, discussions with partners and close friends will be productive. Thursday is the best day for important discussions with partners, close friends and members of the general public. You might inspire a group or an organization. “To the gates!”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a fabulous week to socialize! Accept invitations to parties, social outings, sports events, fun activities with kids, vacations and any entertaining diversion that appeals. One of these diversions might be romance – rip-your-clothes-off romance. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, many will also enjoy redecorating and entertaining at home this week. Family relations will be rewarding and warm because people will express their affection for each other. (Everyone wants to be loved.) Nevertheless, this is a productive time. You’re working hard in a hands-on way because you have a busy agenda in addition to social plans. The best day to deal with coworkers, especially groups, will be Thursday. Everyone will listen to you then.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home and family continue to be a major focus. Some tension or conflict might occur due to renovations, redecorating projects, residential moves or visiting guests. Fortunately, on Monday, fair Venus moves into your House of Communications, which makes all your dealings with others more pleasant. Plus, your everyday surroundings will become more agreeable. This is an excellent time to let others know how much you care for them. You will also notice the beauty in your everyday surroundings more than before, which makes this the perfect time for a pleasant drive in the country. Discussions about entertainment, the hospitality industry or educating children will go well, especially on Thursday.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your busy pace continues! Embrace this accelerated pace and accept the fact that you have appointments, errands plus increased reading, writing and studying to do. It is what it is. You can handle this if you prioritize what you do and channel your time. (You’re good at this.) Meanwhile, you are a person who loves beautiful things and this week (in fact, this month) you will buy pretty things for yourself and loved ones. Fortunately, with Venus now in one of your Money Houses, you can attract money to you as well. (We like!) Family discussions will be positive this week. Likewise, it’s an excellent time to tackle home repairs. In fact, the most auspicious day for important discussions and tasks at home will be Thursday.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Money issues, earnings and cash flow are on your mind. You’re working hard to earn money because let’s face it, you’re spending it. (But then, it’s that time of year, isn’t it?) The good news is that on Monday, fair Venus enters your sign to stay for the rest of the month, which is good news for you. It will make you charming, diplomatic; and help you make peace with others. You will definitely enjoy good times with friends. This is a wonderful time to go on a vacation because Venus always ranks pleasure above work. Romance can blossom this week. On Saturday, grab lovely opportunities to party. Note: the entire week is an excellent time to negotiate what you want, but your best day will be Thursday.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is in your sign along with fiery Mars! Naturally, you want to be outdoors! You want fun and adventure! And above all, you want to travel! This is who you are! Fortunately, you will attract people and favourable situations to you, which means you might pull off some of these wishes and dreams. Meanwhile, secret love affairs will blossom for some. (I’ll never tell.) Another positive influence is you’re full of moneymaking ideas, which benefits discussions about finances, raises, promotions and your wealth and assets in general. In particular, Thursday is the best day to make your pitch. “Now hear this. Now hear this.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Another week with mixed messages from the universe. With the Sun hiding in your chart, likewise, you want to be a bit reclusive. Going out and getting involved seems to be too much effort. You want the comfort of your own privacy and keeping things simple. No decisions, please! However, completely countering this influence is the fact that Venus has just entered your House of Friendships, and very recently, Mercury has entered your own sign. This combination makes you want to socialize! You want to talk to groups and friends, especially artistic creative types. You want to teach. You want to enlighten. Ideally, you want to be quoted. Juggle these two influences as best you can

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a social week! You want to see people and you want to be seen. In particular, you will enjoy spending time with groups and organizations, which is an excellent choice because this week, everyone will be the most productive by cooperating with others. Teamwork is the motto. Some of you will be involved in group competitions and physical sports. However, on Monday this week, fair Venus moves to the top of your chart, which creates favourable circumstances for your ability to relate to bosses, parents, teachers and the police. Oh yes, VIPs will be impressed! (In fact, so impressed that you might begin a romance with a boss.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You look fabulous to others because the Sun is still at the top of your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight. Fiery Mars is also high in your chart, arousing your ambition, making you determined to go after what you want. On Monday, Venus moves into your Ninth House, which will make you want to travel for pleasure, especially to sunny climes with exotic surroundings. This is the perfect month for a vacation! Whether you slip away or not, you’ll be attracted to people who are unusual. In fact, a romance with someone different might blossom. Meanwhile, discussions with friends and groups will be productive, especially on Thursday. Enjoy your week.

About December’s Cold Full Moon

December full moon is commonly known in the Northern Hemisphere as the Full Long Nights Moon. It takes its name from the winter solstice, which has the longest night in the year. The Full Long Nights Moon cuts a soaring trajectory through the wintery skies, in direct opposition to the low-hanging sun. According to Pagan tradition, on years that the Full Moon falls before the winter solstice, it is referred to as the Mourning Moon. For our early Pagan ancestors this was a time of cleansing by stopping bad habits to make one stronger to service the cold winter ahead. The Algonquins called this full moon the Cold Moon, in reference to the cold light it casts upon long winter nights. Strangely enough, in certain other cultures, December’s full moon can actually be associated with warmth.

To the Deborean Clan, the Cold Moon is associated with staying in your cosy home beside a crackling fireplace, surrounded not just by physical warmth, but also the warmth of family and friends. Similarly, the Wishram tribe named December’s full moon the Winter Houses Moon. Given that it coincides with holidays like Yule, Pagans consider this the perfect time to open up your home and provide warmth to those you love, as well as to those who are most vulnerable to the cold of winter.

For those who are more inclined towards solitude, the Full Long Nights Moon provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy your cosy home in peace and quiet. Consider taking lots of restful naps under warm, fluffy comforters, or allowing yourself to lounge in bed in the mornings instead of rising immediately to work. Appropriately, the Native American Zuni tribe called December’s full moon the “Moon Where the Sun Comes Home to Rest”. This full moon is a great time for you to take a long overdue break and recharge, so that you may shine all the brighter when it comes time for you to rise again.

This period of slow restfulness is also very conducive to introspection. When you look inwards and take stock of your life during this time, try to focus on loose ends and the little things that you’ve left hanging throughout the year. As the last full moon that rises before the year draws to a close, the Full Long Nights Moon is a time of endings. Take advantage of this full moon’s energy and bring an end to tasks you’ve been meaning to do, clearing your mind so you can move forward with a clean slate.

As much as the Full Long Nights Moon may be about endings, it is also about beginnings and rebirth. The Sioux Indians’ name for December’s full moon is the “Moon When Deer Shed Their Horns”, thus beginning the process of growing new ones. The Celts, on the other hand, call it the Elder Moon. Elder is fragile and easily damaged, but it’s also full of vitality and recovers very quickly. As the Elder Moon shines upon you, allow yourself to rest and heal from everything that has hurt you over the year, and focus instead on new beginnings and promising areas of growth. This is an excellent time to start planning your New Year’s resolutions and set exciting new goals for the upcoming year.

December 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Spell for Friday – Hand of Time Spell

Hand of Time Spell

Items you will need:

Both hands
6 fingers

Hold both of your hands in front of you. Stare at your hands, noticing your palms and fingers, for about thirty seconds. Then, say this chant one time:

“Palms sweaty,
From watching clocks.
No more.
One finger,
For every ten docked.
Seconds in a minute
1440 in a day.
Stop a few,
For singing birds
And trees that sway.”

This should feel like time has slowed-down and allowed you to appreciate life more.

As this week begins, there’s a Full Moon in Gemini that occurs at the same time that Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune. This means we will all have heightened, erratic energy due to the Full Moon, and at the same time, our communications will be like two ships passing in the night. “Marco?” “Heathcliffe!”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful on Monday because this is an accident-prone day for Aries. There’s a lot of Full-Moon energy taking place that will affect your conversations, any errands or appointments that you have, plus short trips. For example, you might encounter confusion about belief systems or something to do with politics and religion. Don’t believe everything you hear. (And don’t believe everything you think!) By Wednesday, your week picks up in a lovely way. Relations with partners and close friends are smooth and supportive. Travel plans look promising. Issues related to earnings and cash flow are encouraging. Get ready for a fun weekend! Make some exciting plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As I have mentioned many times before, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. This week begins with the Full Moon impacting both of your Money Houses, which bring issues to a head or some kind of culmination. However, at the same time, there’s a strong influence that will create confusion about financial matters (possibly even deceit) including cash flow, earnings and inheritances plus the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. Therefore, wait until Wednesday, to make financial decisions so that you really know what you’re doing. In fact, Wednesday’s an excellent day to entertain big ideas. Enjoy the rest of the week!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will feel a strange energy at the beginning of this week because on Monday, the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place. Not only that, at the same time, your ruler Mercury will be at odds with fuzzy Neptune creating confused communications, misinterpretations, false assumptions and possibly, even deceit. This kind of energy coupled with the Full Moon in your sign, is enough to give you pause. (Little furry ones.) Avoid important decisions until Wednesday. Ironically, from Wednesday onwards, the rest of the week is fabulous! However, prior to Wednesday, don’t do anything you might later regret. Be smart.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

At the beginning of this week, on Monday, the Full Moon will take place in a hidden part of your chart, which could make you feel kind of discombobulated. You might feel indecisive or confused. This is because not only is the Full Moon creating some unusual energy for you, in addition, Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune on the same day. This means you can expect confusion and misunderstandings in your conversations with others. You might even want to hold back information or keep a secret for some reason. You might have some unrealistic longings or pie-in-the-sky wishes? Until Wednesday, don’t act. Just coast. The good news is that after Tuesday, for the rest of the week, it’s smooth sailing!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It will be smart to zip thy lip and be as tactful as possible as this week begins (on Sunday and Monday) because the Full Moon on Monday could create misunderstandings or friction with friends or members of groups. In addition to which, because Mercury is at odds with Neptune at the same time, romantic relationships might disappoint. You might also have confused communications with your kids. The best thing for you to do is to maintain a holding pattern until Wednesday. Then voila! Wednesday, and for the rest of the week, turn into a fantastic time to socialize, enjoy vacations, sports events, the arts and fun times with kids. Therefore, tiptoe softly at the beginning of the week. Make no judgments. Say nothing you will regret later. Then, from Wednesday onward, enjoy good times!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tread carefully on Sunday and Monday at the beginning of this week because your relations with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police are confusing and challenging. Don’t go looking for trouble because it will find you. Don’t try to defend yourself or correct someone in authority. Steer clear of family arguments. (Incidentally, someone might not believe you.) Fortunately, these potential problems will fade by Wednesday, which is a popular day! After that, the rest of the week is pleasant and easy going. Expect to focus on home and family more than usual, perhaps with home repairs. You will also enjoy shopping for beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Ka-ching!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do at the beginning of the week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) because this is an accident-prone time for you. Physical accidents or verbal gaffes. Furthermore, conversations with others will be misleading, confusing and prone to misunderstandings. Accept these restrictions, because on Wednesday, your impress everyone! And for the rest of the week, you’ll enjoy a fast pace of stimulating activity. You’ll love talking to others, especially young people. After Tuesday, it’s a great week to shop for wardrobe items for yourself. It’s also a great time to convince others about your ideas, which are excellent for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching and acting. (Remember: On Wednesday, you’re convincing!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful with financial matters, including shopping, at the beginning of the week on Sunday and Monday, because Monday’s Full Moon could create stress for you in terms of financial matters, debt, inheritances, taxes, earnings and cash flow. Problems related to something that you own might also occur. These problems could be misunderstandings or arguments with someone else. They might also be an indication of some kind of financial deal gone wrong. Whatever the case, by Wednesday, everything changes. In fact, Wednesday is an excellent day to make travel plans or explore opportunities in medicine, the law and higher education. Continue to focus on ways to boost your earnings later this week. Trust your moneymaking ideas.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Tread carefully at the beginning of this week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) because the Full Moon on Monday is the only Full Moon all year that is opposite your sign. In addition to which, Mercury in your sign is at odds with fuzzy Neptune on the same day. This means discussions with partners, spouses and close friends could be adversarial and confusing. Misunderstandings will be rife. Wait until Wednesday when everything changes. On Wednesday, the resources of others and financial decisions will boost your health, your job and your general well-being! The rest of the week is lovely. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whatever you’re dealing with at the beginning of this week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) will be confusing or disconcerting for some reason. You might second-guess yourself. You might lack confidence. Quite likely, you’ll have that feeling you’re not sure what’s going on. Fear not, this is all to do with the Full Moon on Monday happening at the same time that Mercury is odds with fuzzy Neptune. And you’re right. This is a disconcerting time. Muddle through until Wednesday, which is a great day to socialize! Relations with others will be upbeat and rewarding. Following that, the rest of the week is grand! Make plans for the weekend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

At the beginning of the week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday), you might find it challenging dealing with friends or members of groups. Likewise, you might find it challenging dealing with your kids, teammates in sports, and definitely a romantic lover. The reason for this is the Full Moon on Monday will create tension dealing with these people. Plus this Full-Moon tension is further exacerbated by the fact that on the same day as the Full Moon occurs, Mercury is at odds with Neptune, which further confuses your communications with others. Oy! This is frustrating! Not only will emotions be running high, but there will be confused communications. Fortunately, by Wednesday, all is well. Work-related travel and group efforts are blessed. The rest of the week and the weekend are fun-loving and playful.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be aware that dealing with authority figures (parents, bosses, VIPs and the police) will be challenging at the beginning of this week on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Arguments and misunderstandings are likely. The Full Moon on Monday might create a tug-of-war within you about the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job or your career. Furthermore, on that same day, Mercury is at odds with Neptune, which will create confused communications. Possibly even deception. This is a frustrating combo! Fortunately, by Wednesday, you’re in the mood to party and trip the light fantastic! Relations with kids and romantic partners will shine. These good feelings continue right on into the weekend at the end of the week. Make plans to socialize and enjoy good times with others. This week has a tough beginning but a great ending! (All’s well that ends well.)

A Proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month (November), 2023

Now we wait to see if this proclamation is carried out or just more lip service by another USA president.

A Proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month, 2023

During National Native American Heritage Month, we recognize the invaluable contributions of Native peoples that have shaped our country and honor the hundreds of Tribal Nations who continue exercising their inherent sovereignty as vital members of the overlapping system of governments in the United States.  We also recommit to supporting Tribal sovereignty; upholding the Federal Government’s solemn trust and treaty responsibilities; and working in partnership with Tribal Nations to advance prosperity, dignity, and safety for all Native peoples.

Since time immemorial, Native communities have passed down rich cultures, knowledge, traditions, and ways of life.  But throughout our history, Native peoples’ cultures, identities, and governments were not always seen as a part of this Nation but as a threat to it.  Native people were pressured to assimilate, banned from practicing their traditions and sacred ceremonies, and forced from their homes and ancestral homelands.  This violence and devastation cost countless lives, tore families apart, and caused lasting damage to Tribal communities and institutions.

Despite centuries of violence and oppression, Native peoples remain resilient and proud.  Today, Native Americans are essential to the fabric of the United States.  They serve in the United States Armed Forces at higher rates than any other ethnic group.  They continue to steward so many of our great lands.  Their contributions to science, humanities, arts, public service, and more have brought prosperity for all of us.  Their diverse cultures and communities continue to thrive and lead us forward.

Since the beginning of my Administration, I have been determined to help champion a new and better chapter in the story of our Nation-to-Nation relationships.  I started by appointing Native Americans to lead in my Administration — including the first Native American Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, dozens of Senate-confirmed Native American officials, and over 80 Native American appointees serving across my Administration and in the Federal courts.  I restored the annual White House Tribal Nations Summit to advance communication between key members of my Administration and the leaders of hundreds of Tribal Nations.  My Administration formally recognized Indigenous Knowledge as one of the many important bodies of knowledge that contributes to the scientific, technical, social, and economic advancements of the United States and our collective understanding of the natural world.

Together with leadership from Tribal Nations, we are making historic investments in Indian Country.  Our American Rescue Plan invested $32 billion in Tribal Nations — the largest one-time direct investment in Indian Country in American history.  Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invested more than $13 billion to rebuild infrastructure, the single largest investment in Indian Country infrastructure in history.  Our Inflation Reduction Act also made the largest investment ever to combat the existential threat of climate change, including $700 million dedicated to climate change response in Native communities.  Last year, I signed a Presidential Memorandum that improves consultation between the Federal Government and Tribal Nations.

My Administration is also working to address the impacts of harmful Federal policies of the past while ensuring Native communities are safe and healthy.  Through the Department of the Interior’s Road to Healing initiative, Native language preservation, public safety initiatives, and bold new investments, we are supporting Native American families and their communities as they heal.  We are also working to improve public health and safety for Native Americans.  I signed an Executive Order that helps us respond more effectively to the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous peoples.  Last year, when we reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act, I was proud to include historic provisions that reaffirm Tribal sovereignty and restore Tribal jurisdiction.  My budget for Fiscal Year 2024 also requested a $9.1 billion infusion for the Indian Health Service, and I have asked the Congress to make that funding a mandatory part of the Federal budget for the first time in our history.

We are also committed to partnering with Tribal Nations to protect and steward their sacred and ancestral lands and waters.  Through Tribal co-stewardship agreements, we work directly with Tribal Nations to make decisions about how to manage those lands that are most precious to them — recognizing and utilizing the invaluable knowledge they have from countless generations.  I established new national monuments protecting lands sacred to Tribal Nations at Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni in Arizona, the Camp Hale-Continental Divide in Colorado, and Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada.  I also restored protections for the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument in New England and Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah.

This month, we celebrate Native American history and culture.  We are reminded that with hard work and a commitment to our founding ideals, we can address the wrongs of our past and become a more perfect Union — one that ensures liberty, justice, dignity, and equality for all.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2023 as National Native American Heritage Month.  I urge all Americans, as well as their elected representatives at the Federal, State, and local levels, to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.  Also, I urge all Americans to celebrate November 24, 2023, as Native American Heritage Day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.

Six of Wands – Minor Arcana

Success after hard work

A woman with a small dragon on her shoulder stands with a crown on her head. A five-point star is centered on her forehead, directly over the spiritual third eye. This symbolizes the woman’s connection with spiritual guidance and her access to ancient knowledge.  Before her is a table covered with rolled scrolls, quill pens, and other magickal equipment. Prominently to the front is a brass vase holding six crystal topped wands. Other small dragon fly and sit about the room. The star (pentacle of protection and a symbol of the Goddess) and the crown (spiritual enlightenment) reveal that this magician is on a higher path of life. She has gathered her will power (the wands) and placed them in a position to bring about fertility an manifestation (the vase). This fertile energy is repeated in the Celtic scrollwork carved into the table, the magician’s center for working her will.

Divinatory Meaning: You are rewarded with success after hard work. A message of good news brightens your day. There could be advancement in career. Supportive friends give you the courage to follow your dreams.

Tinne/Teine

T stands for Tinne, or Teine, the Holly tree. This evergreen plant is connected to immortality, unity, courage, and the stability of hearth and home. Pronounced chihnn-uh by the Celts, the wood of the Holly was often used in the construction of weapons, and is known as a plant of warriors and protectors.

In the pre-Christian British Isles, the Holly was often associated with protection–planting a hedge around your home would keep malevolent spirits out, thanks in no small part to the sharp spikes on the leaves. In Celtic myth, the concept of the Holly King and the Oak King symbolizes the changing of the seasons, and the transition of the earth from the growing time to the dying season.

When Christianity moved into the Celtic lands, the new religion associated the Holly plant with the story of Jesus. The poky spikes on the leaves represent the crown of thorns worn by Jesus on the cross, and the bright red berries symbolize his blood.
