This is an interesting series by Donnie Law about the Appalachian Mountain people in the eastern USA. Included in this area is where Lady Abyss was from in Kentucky, USA. So, I always think of her when I am watching one of these videos.

Appalachia Mountain Roots Plants and Herbs

Appalachia – From Wikipedia

This article is about the region in the United States. For other uses, see Appalachia (disambiguation).

Appalachia (/ˌæpəˈlætʃə, –leɪtʃə, –leɪʃə/) is a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York State to northern Alabama and Georgia.[1] While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Belle Isle in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, Appalachia typically refers only to the cultural region of the central and southern portions of the range, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia southwest to the Great Smoky Mountains. As of the 2010 United States Census, the region was home to approximately 25 million people.[2]

Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th century writers often engaged in yellow journalism focused on sensationalistic aspects of the region’s culture, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region’s inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence. Sociological studies in the 1960s and 1970s helped to re-examine and dispel these stereotypes.[3]

While endowed with abundant natural resources, Appalachia has long struggled economically and been associated with poverty. In the early 20th century, large-scale logging and coal mining firms brought wage-paying jobs and modern amenities to Appalachia, but by the 1960s the region had failed to capitalize on any long-term benefits[4] from these two industries. Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government sought to alleviate poverty in the Appalachian region with a series of New Deal initiatives, such as the construction of dams to provide cheap electricity and the implementation of better farming practices. On March 9, 1965, the Appalachian Regional Commission[5] was created to further alleviate poverty in the region, mainly by diversifying the region’s economy and helping to provide better health care and educational opportunities to the region’s inhabitants. By 1990, Appalachia had largely joined the economic mainstream but still lagged behind the rest of the nation in most economic indicators.[3]

Flower Meaning, Symbolize, and Spiritual Meaning – Pink Flowers

From uniguide.com

Pink flowers evoke feelings of love, tenderness, grace, and more. From the delicate petals of a cosmos to the hot pink blooms of a dahlia, pink flowers hold important symbolic meaning for many people around the world. Perhaps it’s because the color pink is such an elegant blend of the passionate intensity of red and the pure divinity of white. In addition, the color pink comes in a wide range of hues, which can convey an even wider range of emotions and sentiments.

In this post, we’ll explore pink flower symbolism and meaning, types of flowers that are pink, and appropriate occasions in which to give them.

“A profusion of pink roses being ragged in the rain speaks to me of all gentleness and its enduring.”

– William Carlos Williams

Types of Flowers that Are Pink

Before we go into more detail on pink flower symbolism, I thought you might be interested in a list of flowers that are pink or which come in predominantly pink hues. There’s a splendidly wide variety. Here are some examples:

Anemone

Aster

Azalea

Carnation

Cherry blossom

Chrysanthemum

Clematis

Cosmos

Dahlia

Dianthus

Foxglove

Fuchsia

Geranium

Gerbera daisy

Hibiscus

Hollyhock

Hydrangea

Iris

Lily

Lilac

Lotus

Magnolia

Orchid

Peony

Rose

Sweet pea

Tulip

Zinnia

What do pink flowers symbolize?

Pink flowers symbolize a variety of positive attributes. Here’s a quick list of those qualities:

New romantic love

Platonic love

Innocence

Purity

Grace

Elegance

Femininity

Gratitude

Serenity

Tenderness

Comfort

Security

However, it’s important to keep in mind that pink flower symbolism can have slight variations depending on the type of flower. For example, pink roses symbolize love, both new romantic love and platonic love. While pink clematis flowers signify long-term ties with family and friends as well as success and personal growth. Pink lilies, on the other hand, symbolize purity and innocence. And pink cherry blossoms symbolize new beginnings and renewal. Furthermore, pink lotus flowers signify spiritual growth and transformation. For further reading on specific types of flowers that are pink and their meanings, you can click on the flower names listed above.

When to Give Pink Flowers

When it comes to the best occasions to give pink flowers, you have a range of options to choose from. White red roses and other flowers send a clear message of romantic love, pink flower meaning is more nuanced. Yes, they can imply romantic love. However, they’re also appropriate to convey platonic affection. For example,  you can give them to female relatives, young girls, co-workers, and, of course, men who like the color pink!

Pink flowers are also appropriate for weddings, new baby celebrations and spiritual ceremonies, as well as anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, and more. In a way, pink flowers are like yellow flowers in that they are very safe and usually appreciated by all.

30 October 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 30th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 27.25 days old and 4.45% illuminated with a tilt of -27.404°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 406,112.22 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for October 30th, 2024 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

Moon Alert

After 1 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Make an effort to listen to others today. Be ready to compromise or go more than halfway because this is how your day will work best. Don’t be demanding. Be accommodating. Travel or make travel plans if possible because you want to have a change of scenery that’s exciting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** Today you might have to put your emotional considerations second to those of someone else. Perhaps you have to help someone? You might have to perform a service for them? You’re not being a martyr — this is simply what’s happening. Look for ways to improve your health.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** Your protective, nurturing instincts are stronger today, especially with kids; but you’ll also feel protective about romantic partners as well. Meanwhile, this is a lighthearted, playful day! Do something that makes you feel “with it”. You don’t want to be left behind.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Home and family are your focus today, which is why you’ll be happy to relax at home among familiar surroundings. You might want to veg out. Or perhaps, you want to entertain. An important one-to-one conversation might take place with a family member.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** This is the perfect day for a short trip. Or you might be busy with errands, appointments and conversations with siblings, relatives and neighbours. You want some gossip or information, or a chance to learn something new and interesting! “What’s the buzz, cuz?”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

*** Today your cash flow and earnings or something to do with your belongings and assets will be a stronger focus. You might want to take care of something that you own by cleaning it or repairing it. You might also look for ways to boost your earnings. Tidy up loose ends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

**** For 2 1/2 days every month, the Moon is in your sign. This is happening right now and it can make you more emotional. Stay cool. The good news is it can slightly improve your good luck, which means this is a good day to ask the universe for a favour. Try it. See what happens?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** By nature, you are private. Today in particular, you will protect your privacy because you feel the need to go off by yourself or work alone or behind the scenes. By no means is this a deprivation. Find someplace comfortable with good food and drink.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Your emotional contact with a friend might be important to you today. Perhaps you have to agree on a decision? Actually, this is a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with others because their feedback will help you. What are some of your goals?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Your professional and business concerns are primary today. However, today and tomorrow, personal details about your private life might be public to some. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. (Check out the impression you create.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

**** Today you have a strong urge to get away from it all. You want to break free from your daily routine and seek adventure! Obviously, travel would be the perfect choice. Nevertheless, you can also be a tourist in your own town. Check it out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** Your emotional experiences will be more intense today. You might have an intense discussion with someone or you will attract intense people to you. This could be because you’re discussing debt, insurance matters, inheritances or something that you share or divide with someone.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Winona Ryder (1971) shares your birthday today. You are passionate and playful. However, family and loved ones are always important to you. This is a slower paced year with a strong focus on partnerships and close friendships. Take time to rejuvenate yourself. Focus on people who are kind and beneficial to you.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Health might be of concern this Tuesday but probably something that has to do with the weather and you not adapting to it.

Therefore you will only have yourself to complain while you are suffering from the poor disposition. Try not to snap if those in your family are going to try and add a little more criticism to this mix.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This Tuesday you might appear as controlling and edgy, even with people you are not supposed to act like this in any way, for instance your colleagues.

However, with a little explanation and a softer tone of voice you might get a long way ahead. Also be careful to what you are saying and trying to convey in written messages as well.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might want to avoid any misunderstandings today because although the error might seem minor, the effects will be quite big.

So do take some risk management measures, especially at work. Also the stars might warn you about your reputation so I think there are two things you are gambling at the moment when choosing to pay attention to certain aspects or not.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your social life will be the first point of attraction today but might also interfere with your sentimental and love life if you don’t pay the required attention.

So try not to get in any sensible misunderstandings as you will have a lot of explaining to give otherwise and you risk building up a complicated grudge with your partner.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The current disposition will help you at work so the more time you invest the better. Don’t overwork yourself however, because there is also a limit to what you can achieve during this time.

Those who practice endeavors that have to do with vocation and talent and usually the great arts are going to be most benefited by this.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Tuesday a sugar coated word will take you a lot further than any planned action you might have.

Therefore you need to focus more on the messages you are trying to convey and to try different ways to make them work rather than adopt a forceful approach and pretend that showing is better than explaining because this is time it really isn’t.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A good period for learning endeavors and for going back to school for those natives still doing that but as well a period for supporting others with their learning.

Therefore keep informational resources close to you and you will be enlightened. Also, it might not be a bad idea to keep nature close as well so do spend time outdoors.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

An opportunistic day for those natives who have paid enough attention to their friends in recent times and as well for those who put some money aside and now have it ready for some investment perhaps.

Chances are you will be given such occasion but at the same time don’t enter any legal contract for too long and stay away from strict rules.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is going to be quite a difficult day because although you benefit from quite a lot of energy your mind is dull and prefers to block any creative endeavors.

Therefore you will waste your energy on being frustrated by your own lack of motivation and those around will be quick to catch up on this and come with their own criticism.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are expressing yourself strongly and don’t really want to let others interfere with your plans. This might surprise even your family who might not be used to seeing this face of yours.

You are flirty and encouraging but also domineering so I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t create some crushes around you in this time.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are quite generous in your ideas but also try to stay away from certain people who are only up to criticism because you are very sensitive today and tend to change your mind very quickly.

Other than that, quite a peaceful day ahead and as a word of advice, try to align your expectations with those of your partner as well.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might want to share your rewards equally with those who deserve a part of them or with your family and partner.

This is not a time to be selfish or else you will probably attract the fury of the stars. Give and you will later be given as well as impart knowledge if you feel like you have something worth sharing.

King of Wands – Minor Arcana Court Card

The King of Wands is pure fire energy, but strangely enough, he has the least to do with actual creation and creativity. His forte is not in dreaming up ideas and implementing them himself, but in taking an idea and changing the world to match his vision. As such he is a natural leader and commander of all kinds of people. They flock to him to hear what he has to say and leave just as eagerly when he gives them something to do for him. Like the rest of the Kings, the ruler of the Wands suit will appear in two ways in your life: either as a person or as a part of yourself that must be awakened.

As a person, the King of Wands is the ultimate leader, who looks forward to challenges because he enjoys the rush of adrenalin that solving a difficult problem can induce. He not only dispels his own fear but that of others, by ensuring them that they shall succeed. He is not all talk, though; when the going gets tough no one hangs in there longer than he does. The King of Wands has a deep and innate respect for other people, and his compassion extends farther than most people would expect. For a King, he has a remarkably good relationship with the common people. When he is unable to assist by himself, he will empower and enable others to help in his place.

As with all of us, the King’s faults emerge from his strengths. Most of the time he does not show enough restraint to know when assistance is not needed or wanted. He can sometimes make things even worse by doing what he thinks is the right thing – and he always thinks that what he is doing is the right thing. Most of the time his high sense of ethics proves him right, but in those few times where he is on the wrong side of the argument, he can do more harm than good. But one thing that can never be said of him is that he walks away from problems, whatever they are. He will defend another man just as vigilantly, if not more so, than he would protect himself.

An inner spiritual change is often heralded when this card appears. The King of Wands invites us to act as he would to solve our problems. His vision is one of ideal reality, and his vision is that humanity might always be better than it is. He is the warrior of light who stands up for something that matters, and his appearance is an invitation for you to do so as well. If there is a cause you wish to support, but you are unsure of your position, you may proceed with the knowledge that your base of power is strong. Enjoy the King’s power and authority, but be sure to use it for productive means. Take your responsibilities seriously, think of new ways to do things, and never stop believing in yourself.

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.

Huathe-Hawthorn

The Celts often believed the hawthorn to be a portal to the Otherworld. The hawthorn is a hardy plant commonly used for hedges and great firewood. It can even be an invasive species at times. The key points to remember with the letter Huathe are obstacles, walls, and obstructions. Its ability to form a natural wall gives the diviner an idea in what this symbol can mean to them and their lives.

Fortune – To overcome obstacles and walls you must make a personal sacrifice, to gain we must lose something of ourselves!

Hexagram Twelve/12

Hexagram: 12

Name: P’i.

Keyphrase: Stagnation.

Formed By The Trigrams: Heaven over Earth.

General: Although this is a time of adversity you should remember that all things change and there is always hope.

Love: A lover or potential lover may not be what they seem. Beware of falling in love.

Business: New business ventures may be too good to be true. Examine them carefully.

Personal: Strengthen your moral and ethical senses. Don’t be led astray.

Overview: P’i relates to a time of stagnation and to the fragility of life. If the foundations are weak or unstable then a building will eventually fall. This analogy should also be applied to people. P’i often indicates a time when arrogant individuals come to power or occupy positions of authority. Their arrogance will eventually be their downfall. Beware of individuals trying to subvert your sense of ethics or the consequences will be far-reaching for you.

Spell for Tuesday – Cold Fire (Spell to Decrease a Fever) – For Advanced Witchcraft Practitioners

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

Cold Fire (Spell to Decrease a Fever)

“A doctor discovered that I could bring fevers down. It takes a little practice, but I’ll bet most natural witches can do it. Use the Cornish invocation to St. Brigt:

Three ladies came from the East

One with fire and two with frost

Out with thee, fire, and in with thee, frost

This can be used in conjunction with a laying-on of hands. To remove a fever from someone, summon energy like cold fire from your body. I usually do this by invoking the Snow Queen, who was always a goddess to me.

Direct energy into your hands, then lay them on the person’s neck or forehead. Make cold fire flow into the person until you feel it confront the fever. When you feel the fever, set up a second channel to draw it into your own body. It maybe easiest for you to use your receptive hand to draw the fever, the other to deliver the cold fire. Do this until you feel the cold fire has overcome the fever. If the person is shivering with the fever, direct heat out of the body and onto the skin while you fight the fever. It may help to wrap your arms around the subject.

This technique is not a substitute for aspirin or other fever-reducers. It is something you can do while waiting for the medication to kick in. It can also be used in an emergency when there is no medication. You may feel a bit flushed for a while afterward, but you will not actually take on the fever. Fevers are cyclical, so you may need to repeat the spell whenever the fever spikes.”

This spell is from The Wicca Handbook2000, 2008

by Eileen Holland Pages 91 and 92.

Review of this spell by Lady Beltane: I have even used this spell on myself. I sit in the Lotus position with my right hand on my neck and my left hand on the floor, sending tendrils down into Mother Earth to take the energy and heat from my fever. I have used this on almost all of my 9 grandchildren while waiting for a fever-reducer to start working. I was amazed each time their fever lower or disappeared! I am also able to use pictures to do hands on healing through, but this spell does its best work if the person is there with you.

Thursday Source:  from FlyingTheHedge.com

Taking its name from the Norse god Thor, this is a great day to work magic regarding growth, expansion, prosperity, business, abundance, and success. See my prosperity candle magic spell.

Thursday Source: whitewitchgrimoire.com

Planet: Jupiter
Colors: Blue and Metallic

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.

Spell for Saturday – Manifesting Change Water Spell

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

Manifesting Change Water Spell

Water is a transformative element that constantly changes form from cloud to rain, river to vapor, trickle to ice, and carries the energy of change in all its forms.

You will need:

Clean, resealable glass bottle
Glitter

1. Go outside on a cold, sunny day and find some icicle (Side note: you can use ice cubes made from rain water or a natural water source in place of icicles placed in a funnel)
2.Hold the bottle underneath an icicle to catch the meltwater as it drips.
3. While holding the bottle, recite the incantation:
Water clear and bright, Changing, taking flight
Go from cold to warm, Help me to transform.”
4. Add a few pinches of glitter into the bottle. Seal the bottle and shake it to mix the water and glitter.

Whenever you need to manifest a desired change in your life, shake the bottle and watch the water and glitter swirl. Remember the energy of the icicles changing to water and focus that energy on your goal.
