2月27日 Angels Angelic Information
Angelolatry - The veneration or worship of angels. Angelology - The study or science of angels. Angelophany - The visible or otherwise tangible manifestation of angels to human beings. Angels are spirits without bodies, who possess superior intelligence, gigantic strength, and surpassing holiness. They enjoy an intimate relationship to God as His special adopted children, contemplating, loving, and praising Him in heaven. Some of them are frequently sent as messengers to men from on high. In many religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it is believed that between God and mankind there are intermediary beings, called angels. They are bodiless entities that perform certain tasks for God and are commonly thought of as the messengers of God. Angels are good spirits, unlike their counterparts the demons. They are usually portrayed as having a human form, being dressed in long, white clothes, surrounded by a bright light and with long, swanlike wings. They were portrayed thus by artist, often on Church command, to alert the faithful that angels are more than human. There are cases, however, where angels appeared as ordinary men and were mistaken as such (the story of Lot, for instance). In the early stages of mankind, the belief in spirits was universal. The primitive man believed that there were no good or bad spirits. A spirit simply had powers, called mana, with which it could do either good or evil. With the emerging of Christianity and other major religions, the belief in these kind of spirits was condemned, and they became demons. The belief in angels and demons can be traced back to ancient Persian religion where there were two supreme beings: Ahura Mazda and his eternal opponent Angra Mainyu. The first represents good and the second represents evil. Both have followers and servants, angels serve Ahura Mazda, while demons (the Daevas) serve Angra Mainyu. Here the distinction was first made between good and evil spirits. In the Old Testament angels play a prominent role as the messengers from God. Also in the Old Testament the leading demon, Satan, is introduced. However, it was not until the New Testament that Satan was portrayed as Lucifer, the first of the fallen angels to rebel against God. In the New Testament, angels are present at all the important events in the life of Jesus. Here, they became more than just messengers; they are portrayed as the agents of God in bringing judgement to the world. Until the New Testament there were only two orders of angels; the Seraphim and Cherubim. St. Paul extended the number by adding seven new orders. They are, arranged according to their importance: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. Archangels are higher in rank than Angels, but still they come eighth in the order of higher beings. Four of the most important ones are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. In Islam, it is believed that there are four Archangels who guard the throne of Allah. Source: Sarah's Archangels  Clan of the Frog
Elemental Chief: Water Elemental Totem: Frog Birth Totems within Turtle Clan: Woodpecker, Snake, Wolf Keywords Psychic Intuitive Sensitive Hyper-emotional With this final Elemental Chief, we witness the final stage of the process of Creation - the nurturing and harvesting of the Spirit. Hawk Clan is the Pathfinder that enables us to aim high and envision a world to be had. Turtle Clan Prepares the Way of the Spirit by clearing away "dead space." Butterfly Clan plants the thoughts and hopes so that Frog Clan can nourish the dreams of the mind, and bear the fruit of the Mind/Body/Personality integration. As such, the Frog Clan breaths fire into the spark of soul awareness, whispers to our Inner Self that more exists than can be seen by the ~physical~ eyes, and encourages us to reach for the fruit of the ~Great Spirit~ which is the Union and Merging of all parts into the One. Then, think on brother Frog as he dwells in Two Worlds at once. He is a creature that can swim underwater for extended periods of time, actually begins his life underwater, yet must surface for air, and later comes to dwell atop his lily pad, or on a tree near to a water source. In Earth Medicine, much as in traditional astrology, Water is representative of our feelings and emotions, while Air represents our mind and ability to detach. When there exists a Totem, be it Birth, Clan, Power Totem, etc, that is born of dual worlds (i.e. the dolphin or frog) who must exist in both worlds to live, then there is a special message for us as we observe these Animal brothers and sisters. For Frog Clan, those born under this Elemental Chief are blessed with an abundance of emotion, the ability to perceive the innermost feelings of others, to Understand the sacredness of Love in all of its brilliant hues and textures and to plunge the incredible depths of the Soul, so that a greater understanding can be had of both themselves, and their fellow Earth Dwellers. And yet, without surfacing for air, the frog will perish. So like sister Dolphin, frog must learn to co-exist in two worlds simultaneously. He must find the needed level of detachment (air) lest the emotions (water) and pain of himself or Others pull him under where he will surely drown. If one who is a member of Frog Clan chooses to operate from the lower octave of this element, he/she can become so encased in emotion that they are unable to extricate themselves and will drown in their own sorrow, venom or desire. Because the Frog evolves from the state of a tadpole to the adult form it later inhabits, a keyword for the Frog Clan is Transformation. Those of Clan of the Frog that choose to operate from the higher octave of their element, will spend their life in constant transformation and growth, ever seeking knowledge and wisdom that will lead to the unfolding and evolution of the Soul, coming to understand the depth of their feelings and emotions while learning how to channel those high level energies into ways of assisting Others along their path as they retain the necessary level of detachment. In this way, this clan completes the Cycle of Creation and the Fruit of the Spirit is borne.  Pan
 THE CIRCLE OF ART
The Circle of Art, or Magic Circle, is a fundamental part of modern Wiccan practice. The Magic Circle is cast at the beginning of most Wiccan ceremonies, to establish "Sacred Space," and to aid in the raising and focusing of energy. At the end of the ceremony, the Circle is opened, releasing the energy of the ritual so that it can become manifest in the physical world. We use the term Sacred Space to indicate an area used for ritual or magic. An area becomes Sacred Space when it is specially prepared to aid in the Shift of Consciousness needed to connect with the Higher Self in magic or worship. It is from the level of our Higher Self that we are able to work magic. There are many ways to create Sacred Space, but all revolve around the idea of cleansing the area of Negative Energy which might hamper the working, and the erection of various Energy Constructs whose purpose is to intensify the energy being worked with. The Magic Circle is such an Energy Construct. It is created from energy, shaped by thought and emotion. Though the Magic Circle has a strong symbolic aspect, it also has an objective reality which has a definite affect on the people inside the Circle. Because it is composed of concentrated energy, the Circle acts as a "Battery", giving extra energy to whatever is done inside it. Because it acts to focus the energy raised within it, the circle also tends to intensify that energy. In these ways the Circle magnifies the power of the people within it. It is this effect which is the principle purpose for its use. HISTORY The idea of holding ritual in a circle is very ancient, and in all likelihood derives from nothing more august than the fact that when people "gather `round" they tend to do exactly that -gather in a roughly round, or circular form. The circle allowed everyone to hold hands with everyone else, and to have the same general view of the proceedings. It was practical. A circle was a sensible way to gather around a central fire, or around a sacred tree, or an altar. The circle was also an excellent form for dancing, which has figured in Pagan rituals since the dawn of time. Many ancient illustrations in art and literature attest to the popularity of the Circle Dance in ancient times. Though frowned upon by the Book Religions, circle dancing remained a festival custom of European peasants into modern times, and is nicely illustrated in the works of Bruegels, among other artists. In De Lancre's famous illustration of "The Witches' Sabbat" several circle dances of this kind are shown. In Ceremonial Magic the circle was used for protection, since the Ceremonials often believed that the powers they were dealing with could harm them. But in Wicca the circle is not used for protection but rather to intensify the powers being worked with. HOW TO CAST A CIRCLE Casting a Magic Circle is a basic technique that every Wiccan learns. The more you do it, the better you will get at it, the easier it will become. You can use this technique for casting ritual circles in which to worship, and to cast circles to strengthen your magical workings. Not everything requires the use of a Magic Circle. The circle is used for worship ceremonies, but is not necessary for private devotions. Most spellwork does not require casting a circle either, but if a spell is really important casting a circle will generate much more energy for the spell. Generally only the individual can determine if they need a circle for a given spell -and once you have sufficient experience you will find it an easy thing to judge. Casting a circle makes for a longer and more complicated working, but it creates a much stronger effect. CLEANSING Before you set up your Magic Circle, you will first want to cleanse and consecrate the area. By cleansing the area you remove any negative energies which might be there, and by consecrating it you prevent those negative energies from returning. What are negative energies? Because energy responds to emotion, it can become charged with all sorts of feelings, which a psychically sensitive person can pick up on, and which can be magnified by magical working. Anger, fear, sadness -these and many other emotions can color energy, shaping that energy without conscious intent. The energy then holds these emotions, and can tend to pass them on to sensitive people. The stronger the initial emotion, the longer negative energy will tend to hold it. Sometimes energy will hold such a charge for a very long time. This is why certain places which have witnessed traumatic events can give us "bad vibes" -the energy of the place has been imprinted with the negative emotions experienced there. Most negative energy is not that focused however -usually the emotional charge is not so strong, and it diffuses over time. Most negative energy contains little bits of many conflicting emotions culled from many sources, which tend to give it a "muddy" feeling. This energy is unfocused and undirected, and can tend to make concentration difficult. By removing it you will find that you can work much more effectively. HOW TO CLEANSE There are many ways to cleanse your ritual space of negative energy. Techniques range from simple to complex, and can make use of many different tools. Some use water, some use smoke, others use visualization, while others use sound or ritual movement. With experience you will find the one that works best for you. But in this lesson I will simply give you a good technique that I think will work well for you: That is cleansing by salt and water. To do this you will first clear and release all excess energy, as you should before every magical working. Now place your hand over the water. Make three Tuathail (counterclockwise) circles over the water, concentrating on removing any negativity from it. Say something to the effect of: "Behold, I exorcise you, O creature of Water, casting out from you any impurities which may lie within!" Imagine yellow-white light pouring down from your hand into the water, and forcing out all negativity. Now make three Deosil (clockwise) circles with your hand over the water. Say something like: "And I do bless and consecrate you to this work!" Visualize the water being filled with a clear, bluish white light. Imagine the water filling with this light until it shines as brightly as if there were a blue-white sun within it. Now turn to the salt. Place your hand over the salt and make three Tuathail circles over the salt, concentrating on removing any negativity from it. Say something to the effect of: "Behold, I exorcise you, O creature of Earth, casting out from you any impurities which may lie within!" Imagine yellow-white light pouring down from your hand into the salt, and forcing out all negativity. Now make three Deosil circles with your hand over the salt. Say something like: "And I do bless and consecrate you to this work!" Visualize the salt being filled with a clear, bluish white light. Imagine the salt filling with this light until it shines as brightly as if there were a blue-white sun within it. Now say something to the effect of: "Behold, the salt is pure! Behold the water is pure! Purity into Purity then, and purity be blessed!" Add three pinches of salt to the water and stir. You have now made Holy Water. Take the Holy Water and go Deosil around the area in which you are going to erect your circle. As you go around the area, Asperge it -that is to say, sprinkle it with Holy Water. As you do this, imagine the area being flooded with yellow light. Let the yellow light fill the area, going out in all directions for a good distance. This is the act that actually sends out the negativity, so focus on it as strongly as possible. As you asperge the area, you may wish to say something to the effect of: "Behold I cleanse and purify this space." When you have made a full circle, replace the Holy Water on the altar. Turn to face the inside of the circle and say something to the effect of: "I bless and consecrate this space!" Now visualize the area being filled with a clear blue-white light, so it is wholly filled in all directions. You have now cleansed and blessed your ritual space, and are ready to cast the circle itself. CASTING THE CIRCLE Traditionally the Magic Circle is cast with the Athame, or ritual knife. If you do not yet have an Athame, you can use your Finger - point it just as you would the blade of the knife. Beginning in the East, point your Athame outward. The boundaries of the Magic Circle do not have to conform to the room you are in, but can be much larger -since the circle is an energy structure, it is not hampered by walls -so make it a comfortable size. Just be sure that you have cleansed whatever area you include in the circle, and that there are not other people wandering through it. Imagine a beam of light shooting out from the tip of the Athame toward the East. It is best if the light is white or red -red will add extra strength to it. Imagine this beam as being like a bolt of lightening, and focus on the strength of this energy. Send the beam of light out to what will be the furthest edge of your Magic Circle. Now begin to walk deosil (clockwise) around the circle, keeping the Athame pointed outward with the beam of light coming from it. As you walk, imagine that you are using the Athame and the beam of light to "draw" a boundary line out in the distance -imagine this boundary as a thick line of bright white light. Concentrate on this boundary being strong, and full of energy. The most important thing is to focus on the boundary being strong, but if you wish to speak there are a number of incantations which can be said during this process -a good example of which being: "Behold, I do cut apart a space between the realms of humankind and of the Mighty Ones -a Circle of Art, to focus and contain the power raised herein!" Continue on around the circle, until you return to the East. Imagine the end of your boundary linking up to its beginning, becoming a solid ring. Make sure that you and anyone you may be working with have done everything they need to do before the circle is cast, because once cast it is best not to "break" the circle. That is to say, you do not walk through the barrier you have erected. This is because the Magic Circle acts as a containment, focusing the energy within it and making it stronger -every time the circle is broken, this effect is weakened, and a certain amount of energy "leaks out." If the circle must be broken, use the Athame to "cut a door" -that is to say, make an opening in the circle of white light you have drawn. You do this by pointing the Athame at the edge of the circle and imagining again the beam of light coming from its tip. Now imagine the barrier of white light broken at the point where the beam of light from the Athame touches it, and move the Athame Tuathail -that is, to the left- imagining the barrier of white light disappearing from that space as you do so. Open only enough space in the barrier for the person to exit, then immediately reseal the circle by moving the Athame back to the right (deosil) and visualizing the barrier of white light filling back in to become whole again. Basilisk The mythical king of the serpents. The basilisk, or cockatrice, is a creature that is born from a spherical, yolkless egg, laid during the days of Sirius (the Dog Star) by a seven-year-old rooster and hatched by a toad. The basilisk could have originated from the horned adder or hooded cobra from India. Pliny the Elder described it simply as a snake with a golden crown. By the Middle Ages, it had become a snake with the head of a cock, and sometimes with the head a human. In art, the basilisk symbolized the devil and the antichrist. To the Protestants, it was a symbol of the papacy. According to legend, there are two species of the creature. The first kind burns everything it approaches, and the second kind can kill every living thing with a mere glance. Both species are so dreadful that their breath wilts vegetation and shatters stones. It was even believed that if a man on horseback should try to kill it with a spear, the power of the poison conducted through the weapon would not only kill the rider, but the horse as well. The only way to kill a basilisk is by holding a mirror in front of its eyes, while avoiding to look directly at it. The moment the creature sees its own reflection, it will die of fright. However, even the basilisk has natural enemies. The weasel is immune to its glance and if it gets bitten it withdraws from the fight to eat some rue, the only plant that does not wither, and returns with renewed strength. A more dangerous enemy is the cock for should the basilisk hear it crow, it would die instantly. The carcass of a basilisk was often hung in houses to keep spiders away. It was also used in the temples of Apollo and Diana, where no swallow ever dared to enter. In heraldry the basilisk is represented as an animal with the head, torso and legs of a cock, the tongue of a snake and the wings of a bat. The snake-like rump ends in an arrowpoint.

In your minds eye visualise your cousin physically rising up into the air and away from all her attackers......her attackers can be seen as little black figures all massed down below, and your cousin is rising majestically up and away from them, she is getting larger and larger as she floats upward, and most importantly, see her glowing with and bathed in golden light. She looks serene and happy and safe from all the little black figures below. As you see her golden, glowing figure rising up, say the following (where it says "name" in brackets, substitue her christian name);
(Name) is strong, never weak
Equality of worth in all she seek
(Name) has courage against her foes
(Name) is strong against all blows
(Name)'s attackers shall win no more
Her true worth seen forevermore
So be it!

By Janina Renee Many Cultures recognize a condition called "soul loss," wich can occur when traumatic events have fragmented a person's sense of being to the point of depression, fatigue, confusion, and a loss of center. Indeed, treating individuals for soul loss is an important function of shamanic practitioners. Gather candles, as many as you can get your hands on: old, new, and partially used, of every shape, size, color, and fragrance. In addition to whatever other candles you can find, be sure to include one in "your color"; that is, whichever color you feel best expresses your personal essence. If you are uncertain, or don't have a strong color preference, a list of "astral" colors is appended to this article. Beg candles from friends, explaining your need to them. The act of begging for candles is a Mexican tradition, and adds an important quality to the magic that isn't easily explained. (I believe it has to do with the fact that other people contribute to the construction of one's sense of self, so other people have the power to help repair the self.) Later, you will want to keep some extra candles on hand in case you need to return the favor. I call myself back to myself: Then, allow all of the candles to burn for a time as you resume your normal activities. You can relight the candles every evening and on dark mornings, if convenient, though it isn't necessary to repeat the recitation ceremony unless you want to. You may burn the candles untill they are all burnt down, or until you have achieved a reenergizing sense of integration. Astal Colors The colors that different astrologers attribute to the signs of the zodiac are often described as the "astral colors" of persons born under those signs, and can be used by those persons for all sorts of magical workings. However, if you don't have a strong affinity for the colors ascribed to you, go ahead and use whichever color you think most effective and in harmony with who you are. Aries~Red, white, yellow Note from me, Abby: I have gotten this article from Llewellyn's Magical Almanac. I highly recommend this book, it is loaded with so many magical tid-bits. I also recommend anything by this author.
2月16日 Love DRESSED LETTER LOVE SPELLS TO ATTRACT LOVE FROM AFAR
First, let me start by saying that in my experience it is easier and more often successful to attract an UNKNOWN lover or mate than it is to get a long-lost lover to return from an unknown place, to turn a casual acquaintance into a lover by long distance, or to attract the attention of a specific far-away person with whom one has no personal link at all. Ask yourself, is your request realistic? (You might be surprised how often people request love spells to sexually attract a celebrity -- someone they may have only seen once at an autograph session!) Specifically, ask yourself, if you do manage to reach this person through preturnatural means, will he or she know how to contact you in return? Does the person you desire have your telephone number, email address, or street address? Do you have friends in common who could pass a message? If not, all you may be doing by working attraction love spells from afar is inflicting a "dream love" on the object of your affections. He or she may dream or day-dream about you but, not be able to contact you. Possibly, not even knowing your name or if you are real person or a figment of the imagination, he or she will chalk the whole attraction experience up to "strange ideas" and the two of you will never meet in person. I personally have had numerous "love-dreams" in which i met and made love with total strangers. Were they men who had read my books or web pages and were trying to contact me from afar? I'll never know! They seemed to be "real people," but i never have met them in the flesh. The same goes for people i used to know -- i have dreamed quite wonderfully of men i liked years ago in school, renewing our friendships, even becoming lovers in these dreams -- but i have no idea where they live now, or how to contact them. If they were working love spells on me, they left out an important factor: i got the "message," but i could not figure out a way to get in touch with them in return. Okay, so let us assume that you DO know where the person you desire lives, that he or she knows where you live, that the two of you have some sort of established form of prior communication, and that he or she actually opens and touches his or her personal mail. In that case, it is indeed possible to work love spells to attract and draw him or her closer from afar. Use one of the love spells described above, such as the lodestone and candle love spell or the 3-candle love spell and augment its strength by following it immediately with this love spell, in which you send the person a dressed letter. Assemble the following items: a love-drawing herbal or mineral bath formula (e.g. Love Herbs, Follow Me Boy Bath Crystals, Come  A 3-CANDLE LOVE SPELL TO ATTRACT LOVE, ROMANCE, AND PASSION
Preparation: This is a 9-day love spell that uses three candles -- white, pink, and red -- to successively attract someone, then induce romantic feelings in them, and finally engender passion. Here's what you will need: 1 White "Bride and Groom" candle or other white figural couple candle 1 Pink "Bride and Groom" candle or other pink figural couple candle 1 Red "Bride and Groom" candle or other red figural couple candle a nail or needle to carve the candles a saucer for the candles a basin for water three pieces of paper a pencil a black ink pen a red ink pen. 1 bottle herb-based Love-Drawing Dressing Oil such as Love Me (general purpose lover's oil) Follow Me Boy (used especially for female domination) Come To Me (to draw someone closer) Kiss Me Now! (for sex without partnership commitment) Attraction (general attraction for love, money, friendship) Look Me Over (used to draw sexual attention to oneself) Lavender Love Drops (for gay or lesbian relationships) You can also use three different oils (one for each candle) or make up a mixture from any or all of the oils. Doing the Job: Before dawn on the first day, bathe in pure water to which you have added three drops of one or more of the oils named above. Pour the water over your head 9 times as you say, "Spirit of Love, i do this work for love and love only, that i may be loved by [name] as i myself love [him or her]. Amen." Rub upward only as you bathe and dry yourself in the air only. Collect a basin of the used bath water, which now has your essence in it. Dress in fresh clothes, carry the basin of bath-water to a crossroads and throw the water over your left shoulder toward the sunrise. Walk back home and don't look back. You are now ready to start the work. On the 1st day, start at Sun-up. Take the first paper and write on it your full name and the one you love's full name in pencil, all in one stroke, without lifting the pencil from the paper, so that the two names form a circle and the end is joined to the beginning. Carve the full name of the person you love on the gender-appropriate side of the White Candle. Carve your full name on the other side and dress the candle with the love oil. Next, name the two sides of the candle, saying, "Spirit of Love, i name this woman [or man] [your full name] and this man [or woman] [name of lover]. As is done to this candle, may it be done to our thoughts." Place the name-paper under the candle, then dress the candle with your saliva, saying, "[Name of lover], love me as i love you. Desire me as i desire you. Come to me as i come to you. By my loving speech and tongue, be mine as i am yours." Light both wicks of the candle as you say this prayer: "Spirit of Pure Love, i burn this candle in pure love's name that i may be loved by [name] as i myself love [him or her] and that [name] will burn for my love as i burn for [his or hers]. Let our thoughts be one. Amen." Let the candle burn about 1/3 of the way, then pinch it out. On the 2nd day, again burn the white candle at Dawn, and say the "Pure Love" candle-lighting prayer. Burn it until it is about 2/3 gone. On the 3rd day, again light it at Dawn, say the "Pure Love" candle lighting prayer, and let it burn until it goes out, even all the way to burning the paper with your names on it. On the 4th day, start at Noon. Write both of your names on the 2nd paper as before, but this time use black ink. Carve and dress the Pink Candle as before and name the two sides as before, saying: "Spirit of Love, i name this woman [or man] [your full name] and this man [or woman] [name of lover]. As is done to this candle, may it be done to our hearts." Then place the candle against your bare body, between your breasts if you are a woman, or at heart-level if you are a man, saying, "[Name of lover], love me as i love you. Desire me as i desire you. Come to me as i come to you. By the link between my heart and yours, be mine as i am yours." Light both wicks of the candle as you say this prayer: "Spirit of Romantic Love, i burn this candle in romantic love's name that i may be loved by [name] as i myself love [him or her] and that [name] will burn for my love as i burn for [his or hers]. Let our hearts be one. Amen." Let the candle burn about 1/3 of the way, then pinch it out. On the 5th day, again burn the pink candle at Noon, and say the "Romantic Love" candle-lighting prayer. Burn it until it is about 2/3 gone. On the 6th day, again light it at Noon, say the "Romantic Love" candle-lighting prayer, and let it burn until it goes out, even all the way to burning the paper with your names on it. On the 7th day, start at Sun-down. Write both of your names on the 3rd paper as before, but this time use red ink. Dress the Red Candle. with oil as before and name the two sides, saying: "Spirit of Love, i name this woman [or man] [your full name] and this man [or woman] [name of lover]. As is done to this candle, may it be done to our bodies." Then, if you are a woman, dress the candle with menstrual blood or sexual fluid; if a man, dress it with semen, saying, "[Name of lover], love me as i love you. Desire me as i desire you. Come to me as i come to you. By the nectar of my body, be mine as i am yours." Light both wicks of the candle as you say this prayer: "Spirit of Passionate Love, i burn this candle in passionate love's name that i may be loved by [name] as i myself love [him or her] and that [name] will burn for my love as i burn for [his or hers]. Let our bodies be one. Amen." On the 8th day, again burn the red candle at Sunset, and say the "Passionate Love" candle-lighting prayer. Burn it until it is about 2/3 gone. On the 9th day, again light it at Sunset, say the "Passionate Love" candle-lighting prayer, and let it burn until it goes out, even all the way to burning the paper with your names on it. As the red candle burns to the end, again bathe in pure water to which you have added 3 drops of one or more of the oils named above. Pour the water over your head 9 times as you say, "Spirit of Love, i have done this work for love and love only, that i may be loved by [name] as i myself love [him or her]. My love is mine! Amen!" Set aside a basin of the bath-water. The next morning, sprinkle some of the bath water at your loved one's door step to mark it and then sprinkle as you walk to your door and mark it also. When you go to see the one you love, wear one of the love oils. If you write to him, dress the letter with love oil. Cleaning Up: Wrap up any left-over candle wax in a red cloth. Secure it with red thread, tie it, and bury it in your back yard.  To Me Bath Crystals, Attraction Bath Crystals, Love
Me Bath Crystals, etc.) a love drawing candle (e.g. a Bolivian couple candle, lovers candle, genitalia candle, or whatever you choose) a love-drawing dressing oil for the candle (e.g. Follow Me Boy Oil, Come To Me Oil, Attraction Oil, Love Me Oil, Fast Luck Oil, etc. a love-drawing incense (e.g. Love Herbs to burn on charcoal, Follow Me Boy Incense, Come To Me Incense, Attraction Incense, Love Me Incense, etc. writing implements a pen, a piece of stationery, a matching envelope, and a stamp a small basin to contain some of your used bath-water Like most love spells, this one is best worked in the early morning before dawn, because it finishes at sunrise. Those who take the moon's position into account may wish to perform it as the moon is waxing or growing in size, because it is a spell for increase. Some women may prefer to perform it on the first day of their menstrual cycle, regardless of the moon's position. Those who work by the days of the week may prefer to perform it on a Friday, as that is the day sacred to Venus, the goddess of love. The choice is yours. Prepare the bath according to its directions or your common sense. Dress the candle, light it, and light the incense. With no other light than that from your love-candle, bathe in the love-drawing bath and save some of the bath-water containing your personal essence in the basin. Place the basin next to the candle. While still naked from your bath, and still with no other light than that from your oil-dressed love-candle, write the person you desire a sincere letter. Sprinkle the paper with a love-drawing sachet powder, then draw your fingernails down the paper in wavy "snake lines" to mark it. Shake the paper to let the powder fall away and set it aside. Address the envelope, dress it with sachet, mark it with "snake lines, shake it clean, and set it aside too. Next, formulate your specific desire, by which i mean get it very clear in your mind exactly what you want -- for instance, that the person contacts you, falls in love with you, visits you, has sex with you, marries you, raises a family with you, and/or spends his or her life with you. Once you have formulated your specific desire, focus the entirety of your WILL upon achieving the result you wish to accomplish. Then arouse yourself sexually by thinking of the person you want, and at the moment of orgasm, silently voice your COMMAND that the person must come to you and fulfill the conditions that you have willed. Immediately after, physically relax into a receptive posture and ACCEPT that as you asked, so shall it be done. After the moment of reverie and acceptance, touch each of the four corners of the letter with a bit of your sexual fluids. Place the letter in the envelope and touch each of the four corners of the envelope with your sexual fluids. Seal the envelope with a streak of your bath water and use the bath-water to affix the stamp as well. At dawn, dress in clean clothes. Carry the remaining bath water to a crossroads, throw it over your left shoulder toward the rising sun, and walk back home without looking back. Mail the letter at once -- if you can mail it on your way home from the crossroads, so much the better. In case you are curious about this love spell, the letter-dressing itself is based in hoodoo, but the three-part sequence of deploying one's will, command, and acceptance during a cycle of sexual arousal is a method of working taught by the 19th century African-American sex-magician Paschal Beverly Randolph, under the names "volantia," "decretism," and "posism". Volantia was Randolph's term for using volition or will to silently focus one's full consciousness upon a desired result; by decretism he meant making a decree or command at the moment of orgasm; and posism he described as relaxing into a receptive physical posture or pose after orgasm and gratefully accepting that what you have willed and decreed has come to pass.  "LOVE ME OR DIE": A JACK BALL TO GOOFER A MAN FOR LOVE This is a conjure hand for coercive love that was related to me by a 50-55 year old woman customer in a candle store on Maxwell Street in Chicago in 1965: She said, "If you want a man to love you and he absolutely refuses, you can goofer him to love you -- you know, make him *sick* to love you." Here is her recipe. You will need: his hair your hair a small John the Conqueror root Goofer Dust (or Graveyard Dirt) Love Me sachet powder a piece of brown paper (torn on all four sides from a paper bag) a waterproof ink pen that writes red a waterproof ink pen that writes black a brand new spool of red sewing thread a red flannel bag a sharp pen knife On the paper, write his full name 7 times in black ink, then rotate the paper and write LOVE ME OR DIE over his name 7 times in red ink, crossing it and covering it. Set the paper aside. Use the pen knife to carve a slit-shaped hole in the root and wedge your hair and his hair in there together. Then pack the slit tight with a mixture of Goofer Dust and Love Me sachet powder. Thoroughly wet the written-on paper with your urine and wrap it around the root, pressing and forming it as you would papier mache, to keep the hairs and powders inside. While it is still wet, wrap it up in the red thread, going round and around very neatly, like a ball of twine, until the paper is entirely covered. When you are done, tie the thread off with seven knots and leave a length of thread to hang it from. You can double or triple the hanging-thread for strength, and finish it with a loop for your finger. Carry the prepared root in a red flannel bag and moisten it with your urine when needed. Hold it by its hanging-thread to "operate" it, swinging it back and forth or round and around toward you as you call the man's name, to draw him to you. Get a rhythm going, and say his name, like this, over and over: "[First Name, Last Name], love me or die; [First Name, Last Name], love me or die; [First Name, Last Name], love me or die." "You do this," the woman told me, "and the man will either love you or he'll get real sick. If he gets sick, don't let up; just keep your urine wet on that thing, just keep working with it. That's the way you get him, you weaken him. When he is about finished, you can nurse him back to health. Then he's all yours." I have never tried such coercive love spells myself. I am too tender-hearted and also have had too many offers of love from willing men to bother to mess with men who were recalcitrant. I recommend that anyone who undertakes making such a "Love Me or Die" hand should be prepared to properly dispose of it if it is successful, or you may always have a sickly man on your hands. The making of this love spell is an exercise in working with pairs of opposites: The Love powder is mixed with Goofer Dust. The John root is male (looks like a testicle) and you cut a slit-like hole (a symbolic "pussy") in it to make him less strong and masculine, what they call "pussy whipped". You mix your hair and his hair up together, so he will be as obsessed as you are. You offer him the choice "Love me or die." When he gets sick, you nurse him back to health. The whole thing is about mixing opposing pairs -- male/female, love/death, sickness/health, him/you -- into one mess. By the way, the specific shape of this mojo hand -- a round object wound around with thread or string -- is sometimes referred to as a Jack or Jack ball, although my informant did not call it by that name. Most Jacks, hung from their strings, are used for divination, like pendulums, but some are carried in the pocket or in a bag, as a hand. The name Jack ball probably originally referred to the little rubber balls used for playing the children's game of Jacks, which used to be made of wound-up red rubber strings. Not all Jacks have a John the Conqueror root at their center, but since Jack is the diminutive form of John, if any Jack has a right to that name, this one does. 
Fertility Ritual Materials: 1 green practitioner candle, 1 white "full moon" goddess candle, 3 green rocks, 1 green glass, 1or more green plant(s), 1 fertility goddess symbol, 1 small piece of green paper, a pen/cil, patchouli oil, a cup of water, and a tbsp of salt. 1) Anoint candle w/patchouli (or musk). Set up alter as follows: place Goddess symbol at top center of alter. Place white candle at the left, slightly lower, to be left point of pentacle. Place green candle to the right, in line with white candle. Place the 3 rocks at the two lower points and in front of the Goddess symbol. Place the green glass in the center of the pentacle you have outlined. Put a pinch or two (or 3) in the cup of water, and the rest in the bottom of the green glass. 2) Center, cast your circle, and call the quarters inflecting on how each element can aid you in your request (i.e. - I call forth the East, Air by name, Upon your winds the seeds of life are sown, I now request your aid in the same, Aloft to the Goddess, make my request known.) 3) Invoke the God/dess inflecting on how each is essential for both fertilization and sustance of life. 4) State your purpose and reson for wanting to be or become fertile with a new life. 5) Do yor actual working. I did this by reciting a fertility request poem to the Goddess, asking her for a "late-life" chance at motherhood. I wrote my request on the green paper, and envisioned the child and I enjoying each other's company, and that of their older sister. I then burnt the paper in the flame of the green candle and dropped it in the green glass. The salt at the bottom absorbed most of the heat and kept the glass from cracking. I then doused the smoldering request with the salt water from the cup. "From Earth (paper), Sea (salt and water), Fire (flame), and Air (feeding the flame) we all began and shall end." 6) Thank God/dess and turn the request totally over to them. 7)Thank and release the quarters in the opposite direction as called (i.e. - I release to the North, Earth from this rite, With humble gratitude, Your assistance this night.) 8) Open the circle. Grounding may include releasing any extra energy to the plants you invited, the 3 green stones, or cleaning your alter and tools.
2月7日 On a Budjet
The circle or the one is a Celtic symbol connected to many different cultures of the world both Celtic and none Celtic. Like all things it has many interpretations some say it is a representation of the moon or the sun some say it shows the circle of life, in that life has no beginning or end. Others say it is the representation of the eye of their god and or gods watching over them.
 The game of life is the game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds, and words return to us sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.— Florence Scovel Shinn"
 Throwing away all of the seedheads after deadheading always seems like such a waste. Why not save a beautiful bunch to tuck into wreaths for outdoor winter decorations? That way you and the birds in your neighborhood can enjoy them. Tie the deadhead trimmings into bundles, using pieces of raffia or ribbon, and then just hang them outside where the birds can find them - a tree branch is a good location. Include coneflower, sunflower, hollyhock and sedum, and your bouquet is sure to be a hit! 
The Fabulous Thunderbird-The legend of the Thunderbird is an ancient myth that survives even to the present day in some Native American cultures. Though the Thunderbird myth varied from region to region and tribe to tribe, the Thunderbird was, in the eyes of the ancient Native Americans, a magical animal that was sent by their gods to protect them from the powers of evil. Riding on the wings of the storm, the Thunderbird embodied the power of the storm. Its eyes flashed fire, its cry was like the crack of lightning, and its mighty wings beat with the sound of rolling thunder, ever protecting its people from the powers of evil. There are at least three different legends of the Thunderbird available to us today, that can give us some information about what this creature was like. The first comes from the Winnebago Indians of the northern Midwest and Plains states, a second comes from the Passamaquoddy Indians of Maine, and a third comes from the Quillayute, a Chimakoan tribe living along the Quillayute River, a six-mile river on the Olympic Peninsula, near Seattle, Washington. The Winnebago were an ancient and powerful people that once spread out from Wisconsin all across the northern Midwest and Plains states to Nebraska. They believed that the Thunderbirds were powerful, eagle-like divine creatures that were able to affect the winds and created storms, lightning, thunder, and rain. They also believed that they could take the form of humans, and that some humans, though not actually Thunderbirds, shared their characteristics and were considered to be semi-divine. This thought is reminiscent of the "bird-man" concept prevalent at Cahokia , and it is believed that the Cahokians were related to the Winnebago peoples. Richard L. Dieterle explains in The Short Encyclopedia of Hotcâk (Winnebago) Myth, Legend, and Folklore, Thunderbirds are powerful and warlike avian spirits who animate the gray clouds with thunder and lightning. Together with the Waterspirits, they were the first spirits that Earthmaker created. Their name, Wak'âdja, means, "Divine Ones." On the model of other tribes, they are conventionally called "Thunderbirds," since they alone possess lightning. Their basic somatic form runs the gamut of several species of birds, the hawk and the eagle being the most common. However, they are far stronger in build and have polychrome plumage that gives them a magnificent appearance unrivaled by the birds of earth. Their voices are like the sounds of flutes, recalling both the whistle of wind and the voices of raptors. 1 Thunderbird figures from the Sacred Rock, Brown's Valley, Minnesota;Thunderbird figures from Washington County, Minnesota (top left), and from the Three Maldena Area in the Pipestone National Monument, also in Minnesota. The enemies of the Thunderbirds in Winnebago legend are the "Water Spirits". These became the enemies of the Thunderbirds in primordial times, when the Thunderbirds shot their lightnings everywhere, including the waters. The Thunderbirds still use their lightning when crossing the waters, as that helps protect them from the waterspirits. The Winnebago believed that all lightning was directed at Waterspirits, which lived in bodies of water, or in streams of water beneath the surface of the Earth. The waterspirits were the favorite food of the Thunderbirds, though they usually ate animals and sometimes even humans. 
Stepping Into ConsciousnessBeing Aware Life is a journey comprised of many steps on our personal path that takes us down a winding road of constant evolution. And each day, we are provided with a myriad of opportunities that can allow us to transform into our next best selves. One moment we are presented with an opportunity to react differently when yet another someone in our life rubs us the wrong way; on another day we may find ourselves wanting to walk away from a particular circumstance but are not sure if we can. Eventually, we may find ourselves stuck in a rut that we can never seem to get out of. We may even make the same choices over and over again because we don't know how to choose otherwise. Rather than moving us forward, our personal paths may take us in a seemingly never-ending circle where our actions and choices lead us nowhere but to where we've already been. It is during these moments that awareness can be the first step to change.
2月1日 Friendship FRIENDSHIP CANDLE SPELL
Pink Candle Good Luck/Friendship Oil Pink silk Ribbon White Silk Ribbon Cast the Circle Arrange altar Invoke Goddess and God You will want to anoint the pink with Good Luck oil all the while thinking of the friends that you want to make. Imagine yourself laughing with them, going out with them. Really see yourself with them. After your candle has been anointed, you may light it. At this point you may call out the things that are important to you in a friend: honesty, trust, open mindedness, humor, whatever. As you light the candle, see the flame as being the energy that burns between any two close friends. When this is completed, take your two pieces of silk ribbon and weave them together. Simply winding them around each other will do. While you do this, think of bringing that friend closer to you. This binding process is reminiscent of pagan handfasting rituals. You are binding that friend to you, making them loyal to you, a way any good friend should be. You DO NOT want to bind a specific person to you, as that kind of magic is harmful since is harms the other person's free will. Only bind the idea of the perfect friend to you. Once you have done this, tie the ribbon to the base of your candle as best as you can. The candle's light is a beacon to bring friendship to you and another person. When this is done, you may wish to sit and meditate on the spell that you have just cast, sending your energies out to bring that perfect friend to you. When you feel that your spell has been completed, then it has. Let your candle burn all the way out and release your circle, thanking the Goddess and the God.  Autumn's Power Stones
by Stephanie Pflumm With the Autumn Equinox, many turn their Wheels toward the West. Following the perfect balance of light and dark on the Equinox we begin to slip into the realm of darkness. As Autumn deepens the gates and portals that separate the different realms become thinner. Many entities begin to hibernate, slow down their lives as the Medicine Wheel moves in the West. This brings Dreaming powers that you may also utilize. Use your Dreams to improve your perception. Allow the Dream to slow down the high speed chase that is your life, so that you can truly perceive what is correct and what is out of balance in your path. If you are willing, your Dreaming Mind will teach you many lessons Your intuitive skills will be stronger during Autumn. This is a good time to look down the road and consider the path you are traveling. Practice working with different divination tools; pendulums, cards, runes, stones, see if you find one opening up for you. Water is often the element associated with the West. It is a powerful divining tool and can be used with different stones, candles, the leaves of various herbs or by itself. What can you learn just by studying your reflection along the Water's surface? Nurture your creative interests during the Autumn season. Summer's light has passed and the long hours playing outdoors have disappeared for now. Explore your skills, consider making your own Yule gifts or take up a hobby you've denied yourself. Does some area of your life need transformation? As the transforming trees loose their leaves, use that energy to shed blocks or fears that have been holding you back. Autumn offers opportunity to change and prepare for what comes, rather than remain a victim of your life. It is a good time for offering prayer and to honor the gifts that have come to you. Since we are harvesting the fruits of Mother Earth, it is only appropriate that we show our gratitude. Ceremonies or rituals for honoring the West quarter of the Medicine Wheel are best performed at Sunset. Here is a list of some gemstones and crystals that can assist with intuition, creativity, transformation and other energies that are prevalent during Autumn. Amethyst - assists in opening the Crown Chakra, our body's physical portal for the Great Mystery.

Lapis Lazuli - powerful stone for the Third Eye Chakra, your body's other important psychic center, Lapis Lazuli includes tiny Pyrite crystals which can provide addition protection during vulnerable moments Obsidian - Aztec and Mayan priests used polished mirrors of Obsidian for looking into the future.

The Year Of The Dragon
When Buddah summoned all the animals, only twelve came, and as a reward, each of them was given a year. The dragon was among the twelve, hence the year of the dragon in the lunar calendar. 2000 1988 1976 1964 1952 1940 1928 1916 1904 If you were born on any of these years, you were born in the year of the dragon. If you were born before then, I congratulate you on still being here. People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters
 Cleansing Rituals by Emer Some things to think about before we begin. 1. Everything is energy. Humans, animals, minerals, plants, thoughts, emotions --- all of it. Energy. 2. When energy impacts an environment, it changes it. For good or bad --- it will change it. 3. Everything has a spirit (consciousness.) 4. You are part of everything else. What affects one part, affects all other parts. 5. Like attracts like. 6. Cleansing is healing. From the above, you should be able to understand the importance of cleansing the energy fields that make up you and your environment. Although we might not always be able to sense an energy imbalance; we are nevertheless affected by it. Some areas/buildings feel comfortable to us, while others may make us feel edgy, depressed or anxious to get out. After there has been a heated argument in a room, the atmosphere may feel heavy and dismal. You may even begin to feel irritable yourself. This negative energy, if allowed to exist and even grow (like attracts like), can adversely affect all the inhabitants in that area. In your house, it can even make you, your family, your pets and your plants sick. It will actually make your house sick. Animals are especially vulnerable as they act as buffers for us, and will absorb this negativity until they get physically sick. There, I've said my piece about the importance of cleansing your environment/home. When we cleanse, we're replacing undesirable energy (aka negativity) with desirable or positive energy. Anything can be cleansed and probably should be from time to time. Your car, house, yard, farm, things, your aura. Anything. If you do a cleansing ritual or procedure with anger or fear of the negativity you are trying to release, you will only exchange one kind of negativity for another. You gain nothing. Always enter into any cleansing process with an attitude of love. Negative energy is not bad or evil; it is simply energy that does not sustain you. Nothing is inherently evil --- it is our judgement of it that labels something good or bad. Now for a method. I will discuss one of the ones I use for I can speak from experience on these, although there are many other methods to achieve the same end. Use what works for you. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Smudging Smudging, (passing through smoke,) is an ancient method of cleansing that works quite well. I've used it to cleanse my house, and it's very good for smaller items and for cleansing your aura. When smudging a room, work in one direction, spiralling to the center. Which direction you use is up to you - try both. Counter clockwise is usually considered banishing; clockwise is invoking. I usually use Ceremonial White Sage, but garden sage works equally well. Pinon Pine, if you can get it, is super. Pine, of any kind, is generally thought to bring in desirable positive energy; while the sages are more for banishing the negative. Both can be used during the same smudging ritual. You can use powdered sage or pine on charcoal, or a smudge stick. I prefer a small wad of the leaves. Carry a heatproof container (ashtray) in your left hand; the smudge in your right. For a room, try to start near, but not in front of the door, sweeping the smoke into all corners; up to the ceiling and down to the floor. If you use leaves or a smudge stick, knock the ashes off often, so you won't catch anything on fire. It's a good idea to keep a container of water close by, just in case. Repeat the following, if you wish, during the smudging: ***From the Element of Fire Comes this smoke, which is Air. From the Element of Earth Grows this plant, which is Water. I call upon the Elements and the Blessings of Spirit To please cleanse this (area, space, being, etc.) For the good of all.*** Continue til every inch of the area has been touched by the smoke and you feel that you're done. As with any magickal rite, intent and visualization are important. Visualizing the movement of energy adds a lot of power to the cleansing procedure.

SPIRAL. Spirals are said to have some form of link to the other world and is a representation of the cosmos i.e. the universe and its many parts The single spiral is alleged to represent the Sun. The spiral turning clockwise represents the wintertime Sun (As its winter here in Scotland I have drawn the winter representation for you) The spiral turning anti-clockwise represents the summertime Sun.
TWIN SPIRALS. The dual centred spiral Celtic symbol is also a common symbol, It is said to be similar to that of the Chinese ying and yang due to its shape and in its spiral form reminds me of a pair of x-ray glasses it is said to symbolise the positive and the negative sides of nature and therefore promotes balance. This explanation is also similar to that of ying and yang.
TRIPLE SPIRAL. A triple spiral has several interpretations as follows, the trinity of, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. this Celtic symbol was allegedly believed by the Celts that all life moved in continuous cycles i.e. three phases such as birth, death and rebirth (reincarnation) and the belief in the mind, body and soul (spirit).
AWEN AKA The Three Rays Some say this Celtic symbol is the representation of the light seen at the point of death and the glory of the other world greeting you to its radiance, others say that the right hand ray symbolises the masculine and that the left hand ray symbolises the feminine therefore the central ray is the mediator for the two again pointing to the subject of balance i.e. ying and yang.
THE FIVE CIRCLES. A.K.A the wheel of life. As you can see this Celtic symbol is of four circles joined as one, by the additional central circle It is said that the druids (who we will discuss later) believe this to be a representation of their universe i.e. the meeting of the elements.
THREEFOLD. As we mentioned Druids above this Celtic symbol (allegedly of their origin) is known as threefold. It is said to represent the sister goddesses: Eiru, Fotla, Banba. Wicca has also an adaptation of this symbol although I am told that the centre is more triangular for them it also represents the Threefold however in this case it is pointing to the Mother Goddess: Maiden, Mother, and Crone
TRIQUETRA. This is more a Celtic knot design as appose to a Celtic symbol design. I have added it here as it is a well known symbol in modern society, especially if you pop a circle over it .It is said to represent the three levels of human thought i.e. the physical the mental and spiritual. Although the three points are distanced from each other they are merged together as one, symbolising a connection similar to that of the original triple spiral above
