The High Priestess – Major Arcana

The High Priestess card is number two in the Major Arcana. The High Priestess card is a symbol for intuition, the subconscious mind, mystery and passivity.

This Major Arcana card suggests that for the time being it is best to remain passive and calm and to be receptive to outside influences.

Upright Position

When this card appears in an upright position in your Tarot reading, it tells of a time when you need to withdraw from involvement and let things run their course. While you do that, try to sense the mystery and look beyond the obvious. Remember that this card is associated with the subconscious mind, so you can turn to your dreams and see what they are trying to tell you. The High Priestess card might also suggest that you have to open your eyes to see the real potential of your abilities. Be open to all opportunities and let your talents blossom. The appearance of this card might suggest that you need to employ your intuition when it comes to seeking the answer to a question. Trust your instincts for all may not be what it appears.

Reversed Position

When the High Priestess appears in your reading in a reversed position, it is an indicator that you are not listening to your inner-self. It might be a good idea to take some time off for some much-needed meditation and reflection. The High Priestess in reverse suggests that you let other people control your life because you do not trust yourself enough to make the right decisions. The reversed High Priestess indicates that you are busy all the time, trying to distract yourself from the problems at hand, hoping they will sort themselves out. The answer is inside you so just stop for a while and listen to what your inner voice has to say.

The Sun

Keywords: growth, new beginnings, fertility, prosperity, solar magic, god

When this witches rune pops up in a reading, I typically smile. The sun means different things to different people; however, the fact that it sustains the planet also means it sustains our lives and brings an abundance of good things. Also linked to our solar plexus, vitality, health and self confidence.

Hexagram One/1

Name: Ch’ien.

Keyphrase: The Creative.

Formed By The Trigrams: Heaven over Heaven.

General: Persistent effort will help you realize your potential for achievement.

Love: You need to behave in a compassionate fashion towards your partner.

Business: Your ideas are sound but you need to take time to thoroughly plan out your strategy for making them work.

Personal: You need to take time out to relax and enjoy life more.

Overview: Ch’ien is pure yang energy. Being pure yang it indicates a time when you are in a good position to achieve your objectives (whatever they may be). However, it is a time of potential as there is a lack of yin influence. So now is the time to make those plans and get ready to put them into action. Plan thoroughly and don’t be impatient. Although Ch’ien is an auspicious hexagram, for your plans to have a lasting effect and value your motives need to be virtuous. Be compassionate when you move forward. If you are arrogant you will only breed complacency or resentment in those around you.

Numerology

Source: numerology.com

One/1

Definition: There’s so much motivation and momentum surrounding this single-digit number. It is a true pioneer, eager to break ground on new endeavors and pave the way for others to follow. It is a natural leader and a proactive force. The number 1 represents newness, movement, and the possibilities that await us. In spiritual symbolism, it is the number of creation and the birth of all things — the divine origin of the universe. In Numerology the number 1 is the root of opportunity in our lives. It is a symbol of confidence, power, and action. It pushes us to look at our current circumstances and realize that we have the power to turn them into anything we wish. Even if we are afraid, the 1 inspires us to take control of our future and embrace new beginnings.

Strengths:

Independent: Of all the numbers in Numerology, the 1 is the most self-sufficient, needing nothing but itself and its energy to thrive. It doesn’t sit around waiting for opportunities to come about, it makes its own luck by capitalizing on circumstances others may be afraid to explore. The single-digit number 1 doesn’t want to waste any time getting stuck negotiating or discussing plans. Going it alone allows for greater flexibility and quick, efficient movement.

Goal-oriented: With a positive outlook and unwavering self-determination, this number excels at setting and going after its goals. It has a hard time standing still because it sees a world packed with possibilities just waiting to be taken advantage of. It’s not that the number 1 can’t be satisfied, rather, its satisfaction comes from staying active and always progressing. In a few words: Why stand still when you could advance?

Innovative: Roadblocks don’t exist for the strong-willed 1 — not because they don’t arise, but because this number’s innovative mindset can find new ideas and creative solutions to work around them. Instead of being daunted by obstacles, the 1 looks at them as a challenge that must be (and will be) overcome. Seeing a door where others see a wall is a major asset to the 1’s success.

Weaknesses:

Forceful: While this number can come across as ambitious, its stop-at-nothing attitude can also make it seem uncaring or domineering as it pushes its way forward. More physical than spiritual, it doesn’t need anyone else’s help and is too focused on its own pursuits to even realize when it’s made an offense. Softer energies of cooperation and patience get shoved aside in the interest of movement and progress.

Risky: The number 1 would call itself fearless, but a lack of foresight can all-too-easily lead it into trouble that could have been avoided. Tunnel vision and an extreme sense of invincibility makes the 1 so focused on the path before it that it can miss the warning signs in its peripheral vision.

Doubtful: With such an extreme drive to accomplish and succeed, self-doubt is this number’s Achilles heel. Though it won’t show it on the outside, the number 1 harbors a deep fear of making mistakes or coming up short of its goal. It takes even minor criticism to heart but will ultimately use it as motivation to improve.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON APRIL 17, you have a restless ambition that is confident more so than any other Arian. You also are equipped with more patience and self-control. You sound like a dream with your creative and innovative qualities.

The 17th April birthday personality will likely be a great leader who has a knack for finding prosperous opportunities. You have more good qualities but a few of your flaws are that you take yourself too seriously.

You can be too honest and you tend to overspend. Overall, Aries, those of you who are born on this day, are awfully caring and understanding individuals.

If today is your birth day, you need to learn how to laugh at yourselves more and stop being so serious all of the time. This Aries birthday person usually bounces back quickly from difficulties. You are humble and responsible. On the other hand, this Aries can be prudent and critical of others.

The April 17th birthday astrology predicts that because you are normally a sensitive person, you can get your feelings hurt easily. Then you slip into this funky mood as if nobody cares about you.

This couldn’t be farther from the truth and you know this, Aries. Brush that negative mood off your shoulders and be happy you’re alive. Life is too short to sulk it away.

The 17 April birthday characteristics show that you are typically cool and mild-mannered but underneath is a smoldering fire with the ability to blaze up at any time.

You probably think about sex many times throughout the day but fear rejection, however. You prefer to take the lead in initiating any romantic interest. You are likely to take control so your lovers can go at their own pace.

The April 17 birthday personality believes that courtship can be the stepping stone to really knowing someone before deciding to make any commitments. You should seek those who share your same unique qualities.

Trust is very important to you but you are very considerate of the needs of your partner. You even make the ultimate compromise if it means that your partner will be happy.

The April 17th birthday horoscope suggests that you should look for opportunities that can be financially beneficial to you and your families. Attaining a position that can pay you above and beyond the usual pay scale helps you climb the ladder of success at a quicker rate.

However, you look for those jobs that do not offer a challenge or any room for advancement. You are capable of many things if you would just take a risk. Those born on this zodiac birthday have good money management skills and resisting the urge to splurge.

You are likely to neglect your body needs. Some Arians take for granted that good health will always be theirs. You will make an appointment but then when the time comes, you cancel but never reschedule. You can be a fussy eater even with a big appetite.

This can pack on the pounds so Aries, you should exercise regularly. Yoga is a recommended choice for exercise and it has other features that do more than strengthen the muscles. It can be used as a relaxation technique that is good for relieving stress.

The 17 April birthday meaning shows that your personality is greatly influenced by your body. When you are in good health, you are in a good mood. You are a very caring person who perhaps needs to pay more attention to life itself.

You don’t really have any great expectations or ambitions. Aries, you are born under the zodiac sign symbol the Ram. You have the ability to choose the life you want and make it happen. In spite of everything, you are levelheaded and can come back from difficult situations quickly and easily.

This flower also reveals an individual ready to go through any hassle in order to accomplish his plan.

Other flowers suggestive for Aries are Geranium and Ginger.

Symbolic Metal: Iron is the characteristic metal for Aries zodiac.

Another metal considered beneficial for people born on April 16 is Steel.

Characteristics: April 16 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of ARIES (April 11-April 19). This decan is influenced by the planet Mars.

The April 16 birthday personality is confident but can be insecure. You love to laugh and bring joy to others. You have a vivid imagination and you are influenced by your instincts.

Those born on this Aries birthday are more likely found signing petitions for change but you are normally not judgmental. Your biggest flaw however is that you can be moody.

The 16th April birthday horoscope suggests that you not only desire a love interest who has common goals and qualities but want that in friendship as well. One could say that you are a child at heart though because you are likely to live within your dream state.

The psychic and creative powers that this zodiac birthday person possesses serve as an instrument to solve the difficulties most of the time created by them.

The April 16th birthday meanings show that you are slow to fall in love as you learned from the last experience or heartbreak. Some of you Arians do not know how to deal with negative responses but you don‘t dwell in it. You move on, as sometimes, the best therapy is another interest.

With the experience you have, you are likely to seek a mate who mirrors your beliefs and goals. The 16 April born might also choose one who has your weaknesses. You are strengthened through your partner’s traits and qualities.

The 16 April birthday astrology also predicts that you unintentionally draw negativity into their lives. At some point, you may start your own drama if there is no activity in your life. Overall, these Arians are emotional, loyal romantics who desire acceptance in a personal partnership.

The April 16 birthday personality traits show that you are extremely talented. You can be what you want to be but your ideal position is one that provides a service to those less fortunate.

Your unselfish attitude awards you satisfaction and perhaps it will touch up your professional portfolio. You are a dreamer but usually, use it to your advantage. Dreams do come true, as they are nothing more than a vision of life to come.

Life is what you make out it and those born on this April 16 birthday know this. It is all about the choices we make for ourselves if we make it or not. You believe it is not about where you have been, but rather, where you are going. You do not have to be a product of your environment especially if it was a negative one.

What your birthday also says about you is that you are normally in good healthy condition, mentally and physically. If you find yourself off balance, it is probably due to lack of healthy foods and the right amount of exercise.

You could easily stop by and talk to the nutritionist. Find out what is best for your needs and grab yourself some vitamins and supplements.

Some of you born today do not drink enough water. To make it more desirable to drink, try adding some fruit to it to make it more appealing. Drinking plenty of water will do wonders for your skin and will boost your energy. It puts oxygen back into the body giving you more resilience.

Those born on April 16 show great concern for others. You have a lot to offer a business partner or a soul mate. You want your partners to have the same or similar goals and to be complimentary of your weaknesses.

In order for Arians to be in complete harmony, the mind, body, and soul must be in sync with each other. Drinking plenty of water will help to rid the body of toxins that make us ill.

The April 16 birthday characteristics show that you use your imagination to your advantage and make those a reality with your mystic qualities. At the end of the day, Aries, if you are born on this day, you are visionaries… you are Aries the Ram.

Hereditary/Solitary Witchcraft

Hereditary Witchcraft

Hereditary Witchcraft

A reader says, “I met a woman who tells me she’s a hereditary born witch who has been Wiccan from birth. What in the world does that actually mean?”

Well, it could mean a variety of things, but for me personally, it generally sends up a red flag when someone uses the phrase “born witch” or “Wiccan from birth.” I realize I’ll get some hatey emails over this, but let me explain why I say that.

You’re not born Christian or Muslim or Hindu.

There’s no “Wiccan DNA” that makes any one person more genetically witchy than someone who begins practicing in their fifties. You simply cannot be a Wiccan since birth because Wicca is an orthopraxic religious system that generally involves you doing and believing certain things that make you Wiccan. You can be raised by Wiccans – and many children are – but that doesn’t make you Wiccan from the moment you pop out of the womb, it simply means you were born to Wiccan parents.

That said, certainly, there seem to some people who may be more adept at Witchy Things at some point in their life, but there’s no chromosomal or biological difference in these folks as compared to the general population. You’ll obviously meet people that are psychically gifted, and whose parent or grandparent or child also displays these same traits. But if you operate on the assumption that everyone has some latent psychic ability anyway, it may be that these individuals were encouraged to use their talents while growing up, rather than repressing them like the majority of other people.

You may also encounter people in the Pagan community who claim “born witch” status because of some ancestral link to an individual in the past who was accused of witchcraft. We get regular emails here from people who want to know if Salem ancestry makes them special. It doesn’t (for a variety of reasons).

Also, there are certainly hereditary traditions of witchcraft, but by “hereditary” we don’t mean that the practices are biologically inherited. These are typically small, familial traditions in which beliefs and practices are handed down from one generation to the next, and outsiders are rarely included. PolyAna identifies as a hereditary witch, and her family hails from Appalachia.

She says, “In our family, what we do is more of a folk magic tradition. My son and I and my granddaughter – who is adopted – practice the same folk magic as my mother and grandmother did. We’ve done it as far back as anyone can remember. We follow the Celtic gods, and my Granny was nominally Catholic but brought a belief in the old gods with her from Ireland. She found a way to make it work, and we’ve carried on those traditions.”

PolyAna’s family practices aren’t typical, but there are certainly other hereditary traditions like hers out there – and it’s hard to even estimate how many there are, because the information is generally kept within the family and not shared with the general public. Again, this is a family tradition based on practices and beliefs, rather than any documentable genetic link. For families with an Italian background, Stregheria is sometimes practiced in the United States and other countries.

For many modern Pagans – including those in hereditary family traditions – witchcraft is either a skill set that is developed and honed over years of practice, or it’s a belief system that is seen as a religion that one spends a lifetime working towards. For some people, it’s a combination of the two.

So, after all that – could this person be part of a hereditary familial tradition? Absolutely, she certainly could. But if what she’s claiming is some sort of biological superiority that makes her witchier than everyone else, I’d consider it suspect at best.

SOurce: The Green Witch Tarot Deck and The Green Witch Tarot Companion by Ann Moura. With the art done by Kiri Ostergaard Leonard. Pages 130 – 131

 

Knight of Pentacles – Court Card

This is the card of new career adventure and an auspicious occasion. There is energy and enthusiasm for the new project or new job. There may be some kind of progression in training involved, as with levels of skilled craftmanship from apprentice to master. The indication is that there is an auspicious change on the horizon, something sought and approached with unbound eagerness. The card could refer to a new job, or even entry to the military service where one may learn a skill or trade.

Here the Knight of Pentacles is a young woman. Leaving the farm and freshly plowed fields behind her, she rides her muscular workhorse and carries her earned pay in a pouch on her belt. She is excited and determined to make her way in the wider world, earning a living through her hard work, for with her draft horse she can hire out to plow fields at different farms. This card indicates a useful person who offers stability and approaches work in a reliable and methodical manner, yet is able to implement new ideas and carry them through to a satisfactory conclusion.

Peonies, flowers for business and opportunities, are carried by the Knight of Pentacles. A flacon, a symbol of loyalty, security, and communication, flies near the knight.

Meaning: Job opportunity, auspicious occasion, useful person, responsible, and competent worker, new career advancement, enthusiasm, reliable worker, goal achieved, beginning of a new stage of work or career, diligent service, consistent effort applied to tasks, gentle and methodical, good business sense, self-reliant.

Prompt Words: Job opportunity, new career adventure.

Scythe: the reaping, death, waning, end of an era, releasing and clearing

The scythe may seem scary to some, like the Death card in a tarot reading. BUT the scythe also means an end to something that needs to be released. It could mean clearing and letting go.

Ogham

Huath/Uathe

H is for Huath, or Uatha, and is symbolic of the Hawthorn tree. This prickly-thorned tree is associated with cleansing, protection and defense. Tie a thorn with a red ribbon and use it as a protective amulet in your home, or place a bundle of thorns under a baby’s crib to keep bad energy away. Because the Hawthorn typically blooms around Beltane, it is also strongly connected with fertility, masculine energy, and fire.

In folklore, the Hawthorn is associated with the land of the Fae. Thomas the Rhymer met the Faerie Queen under a Hawthorn tree and ended up in the Faerie realm for seven years. Despite its connection with female and goddess-centered pre-Christian belief, it’s considered unlucky to bring Hawthorn into your home. This may stem from the fact that some species of Hawthorn give off a particularly unpleasant –almost corpse-like–scent after they’ve been cut. No one wants their home to smell like death.

In Glastonbury, England, there’s a famous Hawthorn tree known as the Holy Thorn. The tree that stands there today is supposed to be a descendant of one that stood on Glastonbury Tor two thousand years ago, when Joseph of Arimathea brought the Grail to England from the Holy Land. When Joseph thrust his staff into the ground, it turned into a Hawthorn tree.

I Ching

Hexagram Sixty-Three/ 63

Name: Chi Chi.

Keyphrase: After completion.

Formed By The Trigrams: Water over Fire.

General: Every triumph brings new challenges.

Love: Your relationship will move into a deeper phase.

Business: Celebrate your achievements but be sure to consolidate your success.

Personal: Celebrate your success and make plans for entering a new phase of your life.

Overview: Chi Chi relates to successful completion and what comes next. It is now a time that you have achieved great success and have every right to celebrate. Chi Chi reminds you though, that all things change and that you need to be alert for anything that will undermine your current success. Avoid becoming complacent, or arrogant. If you want your success to endure you must immediately take steps to consolidate it. It is important for you to realize that this is the conclusion of a chapter in your life. A new chapter awaits.

Numerology

One

Number 1 literally suggests being number 1 in the things you’re doing. If it’s business, then number 1 shows your admirable leadership ability, your charisma when showing others the way, and in turn, people’s natural, innate desire to trust your lead. If you decide to own your business or be a manager at a company, you’ll succeed greatly. Just remember, not every other person is a number 1! It will help to have patience and understanding for those who’re born to be followers.

In matters of love, it’s easy for you to be on your own and not feel lonely. You love being in a relationship but you also enjoy being single – sometimes too much! When you’re going for a long-term commitment, make sure your partner doesn’t have co-dependency issues, as it will be a deal-breaker for you.

If a certain date adds up to number 1, that day is a great day to start new projects, to go out on a first date, to get a new haircut, and to plan ahead.

Fifty-Five

Seeing angel number 55 repeatedly is a sign that your guardian angels are trying to communicate with you. They want you to pay attention to the changes happening in your life and embrace them with an open heart. You must trust the journey that you’re on and know that everything happens for a reason. When you see the number 55, it is a reminder to believe in yourself and follow your intuition.

Being an Aries born on April 15th…

 Astrological symbol: Ram. This symbol is representative for those born March 21 – April 19, when the Sun transits the Aries zodiac sign. It reminds of the golden ram from Greek mythology.

 The Aries Constellation is placed between Pisces to the West and Taurus to the East on an area of 441 sq degrees. It is visible at the following latitudes: +90° to -60° and its brightest stars are Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis.

 The name Aries is the Latin definition for Ram, the April 15 zodiac sign. The French call it Bélier while the Greeks say it is Kriya.

 Opposite sign: Libra. This suggests that this sign and Aries are complementary and placed across each other on the astrological wheel, meaning a daring state and diplomacy and some sort of balancing act between the two.

 Modality: Cardinal. This can tell how much change and sincerity exists in the lives of those born on April 15 and how protective they are in general.

 Ruling house: The first house. This house symbolizes beginning in all matters, the physical presence and how the world perceives an individual.

 Ruling body: Mars. This has as symbolism assistance and sincerity. It is also said to influence independence element. Mars is considered to be the yang side while Venus is the yin.

 Element: Fire. This element makes things heat up in association with air, boils water and models earth. Fire signs born on April 15 are gifted, eager and affectionate intellectuals.

 Lucky day: Tuesday. This is a day ruled by Mars, therefore deals with faith and intuition. It suggests the brave nature of Aries natives.

 Lucky numbers: 4, 8, 11, 18, 20.

 Motto: I am, I do!

 People born on April 15 are direct and shockingly honest at times. They prefer it when they find themselves in leading positions, especially when a bit of planning is involved. At the same time, they refuse to compromise even on the smallest things. They are enthusiastic and sociable therefore they are most comfortable when surrounded by a lot of people and thrive when there is a bit of competition involved also.

 Positive Traits: These natives are quick to respond to change and they often embrace it cheerfully. They are reliable and highly resourceful so don’t forget to search for them when you need help or new ideas. Aries people are efficient and creative and they are often very enterprising. However, they are sometimes to keen on seeing things done as quickly as possible so they risk loosing interest in time.

 Negative Traits: Aries must acknowledge that their usual overconfidence and impatient temper may often do them more harm than good. They may be prone to building up feelings of sadness and worthlessness if things don’t go the way they want them to. Listening more to what others have to say could put them more in tune with the world around and make them feel as if they are part of something bigger, as well as avoid damaging some of their relationships, which would eventually happen if they don’t behave themselves and remain undiplomatic, intolerant and rather self-absorbed.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 15 are sentimental and impulsive and they would do anything for their loved ones once they create a passionate connection. They are attracted to unpredictable and eccentric persons. For pretentious Aries love does not come easy, but as they fall in love they become the walking image of fools in love. You can conquer the heart of Aries if you are just as full of flame and free spirited like them. These people don’t mind being single as they keep focusing on keeping their lives busy with their goals.

 An emotional lover prone to disappointment in impulsive love affairs but to whom real love comes growing from strong friendships. They will realize that their early misfortune in love comes from their need to know the person likely to stay beside them. Although they are not usually a passionate lover their loyalty and honesty compensate. 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.

 April 15 Zodiac people are most attached to the other two fire signs: Leo and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Aries is in a constant search for someone to open their hearts in front of. Someone to whom they can show their emotional side and not be afraid to get disappointed and the best to offer them this is the compassionate Libra. The least compatible with people born on April 15 are those born under the Pisces Zodiac sign. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Aries, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Red is the color for Aries zodiac.

In fact Aries prefers all the shades of red as this color is considered a great stimulant. Red draws everyone’s attention and suggests confidence and action. This is the most suitable color as it is also the symbol for Mars, the ruling planet of the Aries zodiac sign.

Other hues that appeal to people born on April 15 are scarlet and carmine.

Representative Birthstone: The breathtaking diamond is the sign stone for Aries zodiac.

This precious material is characteristic both for Aries and their ruling planet, Mars. Diamonds are said to help the person who wears them clear their mind and make wise decisions. It is also said to help with the focus on discovering the long term goals of an individual. So it seems that diamonds are not just a girl’s best friend, right?

Other sign stones that are considered to be lucky for people born on April 15 are the Emerald and the Amethyst.

Characteristic Flower: Honeysuckle is the representative flower for Aries zodiac.

This is the symbol of grace and sweetness. Just like Aries, Honeysuckle is the first of the flower signs and comes with the same energy and determination as the above mentioned zodiac sign. This flower also reveals an individual ready to go through any hassle in order to accomplish his plan.

Other flowers suggestive for Aries are Geranium and Ginger.

Symbolic Metal: Iron is the representative metal for Aries zodiac.

It undoubtedly suggests the strength of the pure Aries. Iron is a strong metal that can be magnetized just like Aries can be stimulated. Left in moist air it rusts which suggests that it should be handled with care exactly like the Aries native.

Another metal considered lucky for Aries is Steel.

Characteristics: April 15 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of ARIES (April 11-April 19). This decan is strongly influenced by the planet Jupiter. This is representative for people who are ambitious, opportunity takers just like Aries and forceful and lucky just like Jupiter. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Aries zodiac sign, slightly enhancing the negative ones.

 Being born on the 15th day of the month suggests pragmatism, responsibility and a lot of talent and devotion. The numerology for April 15 is 6. This number reveals responsibility, affection and a domestic approach to life. Those Aries associated with the number 6 enjoy spending time with families and building a safe environment for those they love. April is the fourth month of the year, bringing great opportunities to plant the seeds of success for later in the year. Those born in April are attractive and adventurous. April 15 Zodiac people are determined but understanding. April has as representative symbols the Honeysuckle and Poppy as plants, the Diamond as gemstone and Aphrodite the Greek goddess of beauty.

Statistics Say: In a year in the Gregorian Calendar, April 15 is the 105th day or the 106th day in case of leap years and until the end of the year there are left 260 days. The forty sixth day of spring, this is also the Universal Day of Culture and the World Art Day.

 Aries as popularity, is placed the ninth on the list of most common birth signs. It is of masculine symbolism, considered of odd number and with a positive meaning. This suggests extrovert natives who are courteous and tenacious. The New Born is an archetype often used when describing this sign. Aries is also rated as the zodiac sign under which most billionaires were born. Famous people born on April 15 under the Aries zodiac sign: Leonardo da Vinci, Emma Thompson, Emma Watson and Seth Rogen.

What the 15 April birthday horoscope says about you is that you can be a hot mess sometimes, Aries. Yes, you get angry and you do not care who knows it or who sees you act out.

To say the least, you are hot-headed and headstrong. Is this typical of a Ram or what? Arians may give the impression of being a timid person, but that is a common misconception.

You do not have to put up a front with those that love you! Everyone respects your independence and knows that you are relatively uncomplicated deep down.

The April 15th birthday personality may have many skills and talents that have gone unnoticed and untouched. Those born on this day perhaps would benefit from realizing and cultivating those gifts. You certainly have the energy for it.

If today is your birthday, you understand and appreciate the needs of others largely because of your upbringing. You as an Arian, deal with situations rather than complain about things you cannot control.

You are likely to choose your battles carefully eliminating the small and insignificant disruptions. As a parent, those born on this zodiac birthday, are likely to be fair but a bit too generous with your children. Discipline is not your strong suit. Your focus is on making their lives brighter. You could be guilty of spoiling your children.

The 15 April birthday analysis shows that you want love and companionship. The perfect or ideal partner for you is one who has the same qualities as you. The rapport would hopefully be one that is filled with enthusiasm for romance and love. You like someone who is not afraid of being the aggressive one.

Now, once you have found this incredible person, do not damage it by your tendency for unwarranted jealousy. That is only insecurity and you have no justification for it. Just as you adore your freedom, so will your like-minded partner. What is good for the goose, has to be good for the gander.

This Aries birthday person being bold is capable of solving any obstacles. You tackle problems head-on and with surety. It is a pleasure to work with those born on this day. Aries, you are creative and are capable of working as a harmonious team member.

The 15 April birthday meanings show that you have leadership qualities and generally have good public standing. Some of you are interested in technology, research or something scientific.

There is a potential for work in the electronics field. If you are interested in adventure, the military is where you should be. You could easily be assigned to various departments of law enforcement.

Most of you with an April 15th birthday are lucky in money. You are fortunate, Aries, not to have any money concerns. Typically, the 15 April birthday personality is concerned with financial security. But before making any final decisions, you are likely to want the approval of your family or closest friends. Whatever you decide, you will find gratification and organization.

If today is your birthday, you rarely have health problems. You have a healthy appetite as you eat constantly but hardly gain a pound. It takes a commitment to exercise. But you will be able to continue to have good health long after your retirement years.

Some born on this day, however, are subject to suffer with fatigue. Eat foods that are rich in protein and low in carbohydrates. A good dose of exercise as a routine can ultimately boost your metabolism. So you will have more energy.

The 15 April birthday astrology analysis shows that certain influences can have bearing on your character. Mainly though you represent an Aries who can be quick to react to situations but are capable of solving problems. You were born with leadership talents.

Those born on this day are good in areas of technology and those positions that can provide mystery and action. You may seem complicated but in reality, you are selfless and secretively, you can be a big baby. If you were born on April 15, you are strong-willed, ambitious and adventurous. Aries, you are interesting!

The Dark Side Of The Air Witch

The Dark Side Of The Air Witch

Do not threaten an Air Witch or what she holds dear, as she is fiercely protective. When she feels threatened, she goes into overdrive and absolutely will not rest until the threat is destroyed completely. She rarely practices defensive magick, preferring instead to allow those who dare to attack face their karmic backlash instead, as she is always willing to accept hers. She can be manipulative in this manner and may not even realize it.

Usually well versed in destructive magick, the Air Witch takes all acts of magick deadly seriously. She insists that a simple blessing carries the same power behind it as a two-hour ritual. When angered, the emotion simply has to run its course, and that course can be decidedly ugly. Just as air feeds fire, the Air Witch feeds her own inner fire when she is angry. She stews and will not move beyond her anger until she is ready. Once she is, it is much easier for her to simply remove the influence from her life entirely. She will cut people out of her life without a second thought.

The Path Of The Air Witch (Part 4)

The Path Of The Air Witch

(Part 4)

Water rules creation, earth rules rebirth, and air rules the cross over a threshold-in other words, the gates of death. The Air Witch has a decidedly dark side and a complex character. Her focus is more on the death side of nature, due to her realm, which includes death, along with sustaining life. You can only survive a few minutes without air, but if you breathe the wrong air, such as poisonous gas, you will die immediately. Air brings disease, death and destruction side by side with life.

The Air Witch is very insightful in the realm of past-life discovery, because time itself belongs to her element as well.

At the same time, air cannot create or re-create life on its own. An Air Witch needs her sister element earth to recycle her winds (through plant life) and water and fire to aid growth. Air Witches may have trouble in the areas relating to menstruation and reproduction. Other potential health problems include spinal conditions or a bad back, asthma, or hearing loss.

Air rules the mental processes and Air Witches often have a few problems in that area. They are frequently nervous, jittery types, prone to panic attacks. In nature, we find crosswinds, tornadoes and hurricanes it seems that wind itself has an insane pattern. The Air Witch is the same. When angered or hurt, she can easily cross the line into the realm of madness. She may entertain notions of revenge, but since she changes her mind constantly, she rarely sees them through. The windy Air Witch is easily depressed and is known to go into a funk over the smallest of things. However, she rarely stays down for long.

The winds are important to the element of air, but they are not the element itself. However, the two are inseparable. The element of air encircles the globe; it is the atmosphere. Every sunrise and sunset takes place in its domain. In this manner we discover how the Air Witch connects to the earthly elements-she incarnates the aura of them, the same way the atmosphere is the aura of the planet. Often, the Air Witch is the catalyst needed to create a change. She is mysterious nd unpredictable.

The Path Of The Air Witch (Part 3)

The Path Of The Air Witch

(Part 3)

The Air Witch has a hard time showing the proper respect due to others in authoritative positions, because she does not see anyone as superior to her. She is strong and fiercely independent. Due to the placement of her element, she can also be very derisive in her humor when it is pointed at herself. She does not take herself too seriously and finds much to laugh about. Compliments thrill her, but expression of thanks tend to embarrass her. She is usually very social and has a wide network of friends. Happy and upbeat as a rule, she can allow herself to become depressed when she does not meet her goals. She is very hard on herself.

The Air Witch can be highly superstitious. She accepts that not all things exist within the scope of the human senses. Within the realm of air ie the keys to invisibility, sound, thinking, communication, creativity, weather, the dead, and ghosts, just to name a few. It is no wonder that the Air Witch seems to operate  on a different level-she does. Considering the multitude of things she hosts in her space, she is usually adept at reading signs and omens. The Air Witch is well schooled in sky divination and portents or harbingers of luck.

The Air Witch specializes magickally in spirits, ghosts, invisible beings, travel, inspiration, dreams, wishes, creativity and changes. She often has a special affinity for Quija, pendulums, and storm and weather magick. She tends to be unconventional and does things that are considered taboo among many Witches, such as blowing out her candles, using items that don’t biodegrade, and so on.

Whereas the Water Witch has a talent for divination and the intuitive arts, the Air Witch has a talent for necromancy and clairaudience. The Air Witch is usually well trained in aromatherapy, meditation and pain-management breathing techniques.

The Path Of The Air Witch (Part 2)

The Path Of The Air Witch

(Part 2)

If you are friends with an Air Witch, prepare to be inspired. She wants her friends and loved ones to achieve their desired level of success just as badly as they do. The Air Witch gives herself to her friends selflessly. However, once betrayed, she will never trust that person again. The Air Witch is all about movement and she refuses to get caught in other people’s hand-ups. She is not one to give second chances. Because of her willingness to please, and the fact that she strives to make all things just, she may actually say that she will grant someone a second chance and then try to, but rarely can she do it in her heart. Once trust is gone for her, it is gone. She moves on.

The Air Witch is optimistic and energetic. She always starts off strong, even if her efforts dwindle later. It is the same in all areas of her life. Her first magick is the strongest, and she usually instinctually knows her element instantly. The only part of her life where this factor does not enter into the equation is in the case of first love. Once a relationship is over for her, it is over. The Air Witch does not live in the past, but in the present. The love she has now is the only one that matters.

The Air Witch can maintain her stamina to complete a project if she perceives it to be a challenge. Telling an Air Witch that she can’t do something is a sure way to see to it that she does. However, if she guesses that she is being manipulated in this fashion, she will erupt into a tantrum. She despises manipulative games and tends to see through them quickly, due to her own manipulative nature.

Because the air blankets the Earth and water, the Air Witch frequently has a large ego. She sees herself as above others and counts on her sister elements  to keep this ego in check. A key lesson for the windy ones is learning that they are not the only creatures that count. However, this position also grants the Air Witch the ability to see all sides of a situation. She is very just.

(continued on The Path Of The Air Witch, Part 3)

The Path Of The Air Witch (Part 1)

The Path Of The Air Witch

The path of the Air Witch is one of constant mental stimulation and expression. As poets, writers, actors, and dreamers, Air Witches walk the line of creativity. The wind is the soliloquy of life; every thought and sound transports itself through the air.

Seen as flaky and airheaded by some, the strength of the Air Witch lies in her intelligence, not her common-sense. She walks around with her head in the clouds. Too often she suffers from “foot in mouth” disease. She seems to have an uncanny knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Uncomfortable with silence, the Air Witch is content to chatter on aimlessly. She is well-known for making people laugh and smile, even when she is on their last nerve.

A key strength of the master of the wind is her flexibility. The Air Witch always allows room to change her mind and to bend with the wind. She considers that she is never fully “done”; she is a work in progress. Just as you cannot capture the wind, you cannot pin down an  Air Witch to one viewpoint for too long. She refuses to stagnate by accepting anything to be true all of the time. She is inquisitive, bubbly, and bright, and can inspire others to reach higher, try harder, and give a goal their best shot. Air Witches make wonderful cheerleaders.

On the flip side, the happy-go-lucky Air Witch is not one you want to anger. Her fury rouses quickly, and she usually possesses a nasty temper. An Air Witch will not mince words with you-she will cut straight to the bone. Once her outburst is over, she is usually no longer mad. Five minutes after her tantrum, she has no idea why anyone is angry with her.

Due to her flighty nature, the Air Witch has an easy time letting go of the past. She can overcome the most tragic of life’s situations. She will be changed, but she will quickly move on. She is truly like the wind. Because of this, she tends to make bad judgments. She does not always think things through fully before taking action.

The Air Witch thrives on change and new beginnings. Nothing  will excite her more than moving to a new location, getting a new job, meeting new people, or going on a vacation. She often changes her style throughout her lifetime, including favorite colors, textures, and even foods.

Her thirst for knowledge is unquenchable and tends to get her in trouble. She keeps an open mind and is willing to see alternate viewpoints. The Air Witch is known to incorporate many different belief systems into her own personal view.

Among the many quirks of Air Witches, claustrophobia rates unusually high in their ranks. The Air Witch cannot stand the thought of being trapped in a place with limited air. Scuba diving or the like is a rare activity for an Air Witch, as she fears suffocation above all else.

The Air Witch’s home is normally very clean. She can be extremely picky about dirt and dust. However, when entering the home of an Air Witch, you are apt to find many projects in various stages just sitting around waiting for her to complete them. The windy Air Witch does not always have the stamina needed to complete what she starts. It makes perfect sense to her to do the laundry and then fold it and stack it, without ever putting it away. She is easily distracted.

The home of an Air Witch is usually neutral-toned and light, with many windows. She frequently will have an abundance of houseplants and overstocked cabinets filled with convenience foods and sugary junk. It’s no wonder Air Witches have weak teeth, as they usually have an inexhaustible sweet tooth.

URUZ

MANHOOD

The rune is an indication of the new phase beginning in a person’s life and the termination of the old one. The rune symbolizes the future changes that are yet to happen in the night. It speaks of ending one part of life and how a man goes out of his childhood frame. This means it must be left behind to attain manhood.

 Sun

Always a good omen, the Sun Rune means something of value is coming your way. You can look forward to taking a bold step, embarking in a new direction.

Some may be carried out of their daily grind by unexpected and fortunate events. Other will be made aware of added responsibility and will have to deal with it.

Expect public promotions and public affairs. Look to be amazed, dazzled or even shocked by scandals. An older person, or person of authority could have the answers you are now seeking.

Accept your position as a mover and shaker of the world. For you, the time is right to head for the spotlight.

Coll

Wisdom, enlightenment, poetry, wholeness

Tree: Hazel (Corylus spp.)

Letter: C

Coll indicates the fruits of the life of the mind. Wisdom is a kind of knowledge quilt, meaning wisdom is many pieces of knowledge sewn together in a beautiful pattern. The wisdom of music is the interplay of a thousand small parts that come together to create a unified expression of sound. The wisdom of history comes from seeing its overarching patterns and how they can predict the future. Wisdom is not just the collection of a bunch of trivia but a deep understanding of how smaller forces become a whole. Plenty of people have knowledge, and they often gain titles for it like “PhD”, yet they have no wisdom. Knowledge can be unstable and in certain instances knowing a vast array of facts and trivia is not useful (it can be the mental equivalent of clutter); wisdom has permanence and transcends time.

Coll means putting the final piece down and solving the puzzle. Good decisions based in deep-rooted experience. Opportunity because of intuitive, adaptable strategy. The ability to live a fuller life because of lessons that originate from experience and the resulting clairvoyance of multiple outcomes.

Drawing Coll represents a bird’s eye view of the situation or era in which you dwell. There is an accumulation of knowledge that has given rise or is in the process to becoming wisdom. Hard work on the mental plane pays off in an easy way with words, the ability to think deeply, or the mastery of a field of study.

Hexagram Fifty – Seven/57

Sun / The Penetrating Wind

Wind follows upon wind, wandering the earth, penetrating gently but persistently:
The Superior Person expands his influence by reaffirming his decisions and carrying out his promises.

Small, persistent, focused effort brings success.
Seek advice from someone you respect.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Gentle persuasion is the key in this instance.
Though the words are soft, their speaker must be firm, calm and confident.
Gentle words are worthless if spoken with trepidation.
Wordless influence by example is also effective in this situation.
All persuasion should be almost unfelt, yet consistent and persistent.
Ask for feedback from someone you know to be an effective persuader.

The basic meaning of angel number “7”

The direction you choose and the direction you are heading is right, meaning that you have a great opportunity in front of you.

“7” is also a very mysterious number.

It has various possibilities.

In love, it means that your charm is up.

You will find it attractive to the opposite sex.

If you are a single person, you may realize the popular period.

Please proceed with the ideal form of being loved and respected by humans.

The angel number “57” has the above basic meanings, but it is a number that shows that a wonderful future awaits you.

It is time to take advantage of our experience and take a new path.

Angels also tell us that it’s a great opportunity and you’ll be successful in the natural flow.

As an Aries born on April 14th…

Astrological symbol: Ram. This signifies a willful individual that is task oriented but also symbolizes the seeds growing in spring March 21 – April 19 when the Sun is in this sign and leads to new ways in their lives.

 The Aries Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest stars being Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis. It is quite small covering an area of only 441 square degrees. It lies between Pisces to the West and Taurus to the East, covering visible latitudes between +90° and -60°.

 The name Aries is the Latin name for Ram. In Greece, Kriya is the name of the sign for April 14 zodiac sign, while in France the Aries zodiac sign is called Bélier.

 Opposite sign: Libra. This suggests determination and pleasure and shows that cooperation between the Libra and Aries sun signs is thought to be beneficial for both sides.

 Modality: Cardinal. This can tell the loving nature of people born on April 14 and that they are a symbol of orderliness and reservation.

 Ruling house: The first house. This zodiac placement means initiative and beginnings but also the individual nature of each person and especially the action oriented nature of Arieses.

 Ruling body: Mars. This association reveals affluence and charm. Mars is consistent with Ares, the god of war in Greek mythology. Mars also shares an insight on warmth.

 Element: Fire. This element symbolizes spirit and firmness and is considered to rule over vigorous but lukewarm people connected to the April 14 zodiac. Fire is said to get new meanings associated with the other elements, with water turning things to boil , heating up air and modeling earth.

Attractive and charming it is very difficult for someone to win their heart if they don’t show the slightest interest. They don’t settle for less than what they consider it’s best for them.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS APRIL 13, you were born with daring, genuineness and brains. You have a tendency to face adversity head-on using your given talents. Those born under this zodiac sign of Aries are generally very “lucky” even as a child.

Although you lose yourself in anger sometimes and say or do hurtful things, you mainly are a gentle soul but you can be impatient and become easily upset when someone criticizes you. Otherwise, you typically work to resolve problems using your instincts and principles.

The 13th April birthday personality loves to travel, so you can move around a lot. You also have extravagant spending habits attached to your personality traits.

If today is your birthday keep their word. It is also a very important part of an Aries nature. You are honest to a fault so most people trust you with confidential matters.

The April 13th birthday horoscope shows that you try to avoid negative thinking and people. You have an optimistic attitude toward life and like to be around those who think as you do.

Although you have mostly friends of the opposite sex, at the end of the day, Arians are loyal friends. You have a respect for your elders. They have a wisdom that could be of some help to you in areas of love and finance. You want to know what they have to say so you pay close attention.

You love good food and great sex. At the same time, you love to makeup sex. There is something about an intense argument that gets you uncontrollably aroused. This cold-hearted nature hinders your ability to be emotionally attached to anyone. It will take at least two keys to unlock this chained heart – love, and loyalty.

However, once inside, the Aries partner will need to be someone who has the same sexual desires and independent nature. This Aries birthday person would be very happy to pair up. However, you are slow to make a long-term commitment.

The 13 April birthday astrology analysis shows that you are self-confident and tend to meet both short-term and long-term goals that you set. You may find this Arian in positions of power, in the health care field or even in the armed forces.

The April 13 birthday personality can be conniving when it comes to business deals. You are prone to take advantage of properties that you can buy and resell for a quick profit. Some of you Arians will inherit a lump sum that will enable you to invest fully in your retirement fund.

Until this happens, it would be in your best interest to pay off some major accounts that you have accumulated. Financial success will come through thinking, believing and working toward that goal.

The 13 April birthday characteristics also show that you are generally very proud of your bodies. You work hard to achieve the body you want and as a result, you usually do not have any physical or mental problems associated with stress or worry. If you were to have physical ailments, it would be leaning toward joints and bone diseases. Arthritis is commonly associated with those born on April 13.

Those born on this zodiac birthday, April 13, have a lot of nerve… You are bold and perhaps a little cold. You have a short fuse when it comes to criticism and patience. You have very little room for either. Having these faults does not mean that you are not a loyal friend or lover.

The April 13th birthday meanings show that you have a desire to be with someone with whom you can share your sexual and independent qualities. But you are slow to give your love and trust to anyone. You respect your elders and have a strong sense of morals due to your upbringing.

Two things this Aries birthday individual normally does not worry about is money or health. You take care of those requirements. You live to be stress-free. That is what you do… you are Aries the Ram.

(One Person’s View Point) The Dark Side of the Water Witch c 2012

The Dark Side of the Water Witch

Water rules the emotions, and the Water Witch has a predisposition to think with the heart and not the head. As she is devoted to water, she believes wholeheartedly that a tiger can change its strips by virtue of cleansing away the negative. She will give a second chance in the case of an innocent mistake. However, if crossed intentionally, the Water Witch will hold a grudge until the end of time. She is a wall builder and will not hesitate to block out anyone who deserves it. Her code of justice is so strict that she often entertain notions of revenge. She is known to overdo it in these matters.

In personal matters, the Water Witch’s intuition does not function at its fullest capacity. She can be quick to assume a slight was intended by an innocent remark and operate strictly on that notion, regardless of its truthfulness. Unfortunately, once this happens the Water Witch can muddy her own waters.

(One Person’s View Point) Balancing the Elements: a Water and Sea Witch guide to finding balance with the elements

Balancing the Elements: a Water and Sea Witch guide to finding balance with the elements

It would be silly to think that someone who calls themselves a water witch works ONLY with the water element. This would make for a very unbalanced practice! Rather Water or Sea Witches work with all the elements through their particular path which is deeply connected to water. A Water Witch may call themselves Water or Sea witch because they derive their power from the Waters or the Spirits that dwell with in it.

Working with Air
Water Witches can work with air in conjunction with water. While I personally don’t resonate with Air as well as I do the other elements, it can still be worked with and incorporated into a balanced practice. There are many stories of Witches having the power to control the wind and weather; many times these stories are about Sea Witches or witches that could be classified as Sea Witches based on where they live. An old folk spell Sea Witches have been recorded as being responsible for, is selling knots to Sailors. Each knot holding the power to release different strengths of wind.

“For the right price, witches supplied sailors with a cord having three knots. When becalmed, untying the first knot was thought to produce a light breeze, undoing the second produced a moderate wind, and the third a strong breeze. Scottish fishermen were known to buy knotted handkerchiefs of wind sorceress, the desired strength of the wind could be obtained by slowly undoing the knot. Once loosened, the knot was useless and for additional winds another purchase was required. If a sailor found a knot in a painter, he could expect a long voyage. When a sailor referred to “tying a knot in the devil’s tail,” he was relating to the “well done” completion of a difficult task.”

Another good example of Water Witches having the power to control the weather and raise up storms is the Gallicanae from the Island of Sena. Here we have a group of 9 priestess with magical powers who are clearly connected to the sea but also have the power to change the winds and work with water in conjunction with air.

“Sena in the British sea, opposite the Ofismician coast, is remarkable for an oracle of the Gallic God. Its priestesses, holy in perpetual virginity, are said to be nine in number. They are called Gallicenae, and are thought to be endowed with singular powers, so as to raise by their charms the winds and seas, to turn themselves into what animals they will, to cure wounds and diseases incurable by others, to know and predict the future; but this they do only to navigators who go thither purposely to consult them.”

In a modern practice, one can look to wisdom from water birds, work with knots as above, charge water in a singing bowls using voice and vibration to charge waters, and can engage in spirit flight using water as a portal to the other world.

Working with Fire

Working with Fire is actually quite fun when working water magic. Fire can heat our cauldrons, and be the catalyst for change, a flame can be lit at a sacred well or near a river. Floating candles can be used to merge the powers of water and fire and holy water can be used to anoint candles. Additionally, there are several European Goddesses that are associated with Fire and Water; Bride, Sulis and Nantosuelta are a few. Grannus is a masculine deity that is also associated with Fire and Natural Springs. Many cultures across the world combine water and fire together by lighting candles and setting them afloat on small rafts of herbs or wreaths. A Water Witch that is particularly connected to springs and wells will find many ways to honor and work with water and fire together. A popular tradition is well dressings, and candles as well as flowers and other offerings are used to decorate the sacred space on holy days.

In a modern practice candles can be anointed with holy water or used to light a ritual bath. Floating candles can be used in a bowl or one can Scry by candle light. Candles are a staple in every witches tool bag, and Water Witches use them as well, though our collection might be heavy on the blue and green side!

Working with Earth

Earth and Water are very compatible and often are used together. Floral essences, Herbal Teas, and Gem elixirs are quick and easy ways to combine earth and water magic together.

The earth is the vessel in which the water is held, both symbolically in the alchemical symbol and actually in the physical world. Our physical bodies which represent earth are filled with water and in a way is a vessel. The earth contains water and while it does not necessarily control it, it holds it, and houses it giving it a structure in which to rest or rage.

For the Sea Witch shells, sand, and drift wood would be earth representations and a beautiful way to combine water and earth. There is nothing more beautiful than a piece of smooth driftwood that washes up at your feet. Water and Earth work together to transform the environment around it; river rocks and beach agates smoothed and tumbled by nature are other good examples of water and earth together.

Witches that work with rivers can connect to the earth with river rock, hag stones and the muddy parts of the shore. Bath salts can also be considered an earth element and are a wonderful edition to any bath!

Dew has much folklore and recorded magical uses, a popular one being collecting dew on May Day from the Hawthorn tree. For the most part Dew relies on plants and grasses to hold its delicate watery form. Again a perfect example of combining the elements.

Working with all the elements is important in any magical practice, and for those of us that are watery it is always good to reach towards a more grounding element in tough times. When our waters need to be stirred up reach towards air and when you need to heat up or become passionate about something working with Fire can be beneficial. Finding balance is important, and so is honoring all the elements even if our home is in the waters!
