SUPER HEART!

Did you ever wonder why superheroes always have their symbol on their chests?
Because deep down inside, we all know that's where our true power resides.

Researchers have now proven that the heart is 100x more powerful electrically, and up to 5,000x more powerful magnetically than the brain. Yes, the heart runs the show. It actually sends more messages to the brain than the brain does to the heart.

Begin today to think, feel and act from your heart center. Wherever the mind goes, energy follows. Focus on your heart and transform your life!

DIY Witch Ball

Witch balls were once common fixtures in Windows, especially in England during the 18th century... Although their origin is thought to be much older.
The hollow glass spheres were hung to ward off witch's spells, evil spirits, curses and bad luck.
It is believed that negative forces are mesmerised by the ball's reflective beauty then absorbed and trapped in the web like strands of glass inside the ball.
Today, the balls are difficult to find and can be quite expensive. Here is a way to make your own:
You will need a clear glass ball or Christmas ornament with an opening at one end. If the glass ball has some kind of design, choose one you like or one you can change with further decoration. He will also need a bottle of silver paint, a few drops of Frankincense or Patchouli oil, a school of red thread and a pair of scissors.
Cover your working space with newspaper to protect against spills. Take the metal cap off of the ornament. Carefully pour a little of the silver paint inside the ball and swish it around until the inside is completely covered with silver. Set it aside to dry.
When the paint is totally dry, cut the red thread into 3 inch lengths. Carefully poke This Thread into the open end of the ball. Continue cutting and putting the thread into the ball until it is nearly full. Put in a few drops of oil. Then put the end back on the ornament. If it has no end, seal it with candle wax.
When you hang the protection ball, chant:

Symbol of the Moon,
symbol of the Lady Divine,
Reject all negativity,
Defend this home,
Me and mine.

Realm of Availability

    There is one more thing I would like you to know before we move on to the actual "work" of Witchcraft.  I want you to thoroughly understand this point, since it will factor in to all of your "work."

    When you cast a spell or do a ritual, be ever mindful to work within your realm of availability.  This realm can be visualized as a sphere that encompasses your life.  Basically, it's your one little world.  Your "availability" is what you are capable of manifesting, within reason, in your world.  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say most of you probably don't have the resources available for a second house in the Bahamas.  If you do, I'm jealous!  But I'm sure most of you do have the resources for a better home or apartment.  So, you cast the spell for a better home, you get it and your "little world" sphere just expanded.  Are you with me?
   As you work magick to transform your life in these little ways, your realm of availability grows.  Your confidence in your power to change your life will also grow along with it.  As an added benefit of working with this concept, you won't get discouraged when your "Sail Into the Sunset Yacht Spell" just didn't seem to work.

All Blessings Be. )O(

Wait...whhaat???

As you pursue your life as a Witch, you will hear, "And it harm none, do what you will." quoted often.  Unfortunately, many don't really understand what the phrase actually means.  Most read it as, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't harm anyone or anything in the process."
This is a very common misconception.  In truth, the rede actually means to find and follow your true path or destiny("do what you will"), living up to your fullest potential in this lifetime...without interfering or blocking another from doing the same("and it harm none").  It is why spells that involve manipulation of someone's free will are frowned upon. Just as I said before, there's plenty of love, money, etc to go around and no need to take away from anyone else.

Magick: Experiment

ANOTHER ENERGY EXERCISE

1.  Rub your palms together very briskly for about 15 seconds.

2.  Stop and separate your palms about 6 inches from each other.

3.  Now, move them in very close together, but not touching.

4.  Then, move them out and away again.  Give this exercise a little time.

Continue to move them in and out, and you'll start to feel a pressure between your hands...like there's actually something there.

    Well, there is!  You've just created a ball of energy between your hands.

    Sometimes, if you try this in a darkened room, you can even see the energy.  You might want to try this later on.  It usually appears as blue/white light or sometimes strands of light passing from one hand to the other.  You can get creative and do this exercise with a friend.  Simply pass the ball of energy back and forth to one another.  You can also try building it; make it bigger or change its shape.  Do this exercise often.  It's a great way to practice raising energy, as well as reminding you of the power you now have available to you.

Perfect Addition

"By Her, through Her...the three-named and the myriad-named."
I've always loved that ending.

Try this the next time you need to craft a spell from scratch. You will need some sort of divination tool, i.e. tarot, runes, etc.
Draw 4 cards, stones, et al. Each one will represent the basic idea for the 4 corresponding parts of your spell (listed below).  You embellish, elaborate and add your own personal touches.

1. consecration and purification
2. petition 
3. offering and blessing
4. closing / dismissal

Good luck & All Blessings Be. )O(

LITHA

We are children of the sun, the daystar that makes all life possible as we travel in the icy darkness of frozen space. It is only fitting that we celebrate this turning point of our planet, even if we have a more sophisticated knowledge of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets than did our ancestors. Deep within our bodies the ancient memories are still alive.

Pondering

Someone said it was so, and an entire mythology was created

13 POWERS

Thirteen powers do the Witches claim
Their birthright in Aradia's name
In the mirror see reflected
Yourself as Witch with power perfected
In classic benediction, confer
And with sincerity, speak these words:
A Witch can grant success in love
Curse or bless through the gods above.
Converse with beasts and spirits alike
Command the weather; cast out a blight
Read signs, omens and the stars of night
Divine the future and give sage advice
Conjure treasure and bring fortune to bear
Heal the sick and kill despair
For the powers to be maintained
Observe the seasons as they wax and wane

All Blessings Be. )O(

REAL SENSE

Magick is only as real as your experience with it. Involve your senses & magick will exist in your physical reality.

DIVINE SPARK!

Magick is a form of worship, since it allows us to connect with that divine spark within each of us.

SEASONING

There is a beautiful correlation between the seasonal cycle of nature and the path of the soul through the eternal cycle of life, incarnation after incarnation. The Goddess is representative of the ever-changing, undying spirit, whereas the God can be seen as more of a representation of ourselves as we progress through our lives. The dynamic interplay between the darkness and light through the seasons give us a glimpse into much deeper truths about how the universe works and our part in it.

All Blessings Be. )O(

MAGICK

Magick is not meant to be a quick fix. It is intended to help us on our path...to eliminate those obstacles that would normally appear insurmountable and to provide us with opportunities that we may not normally have.

GODDESS FIRST

Without the Moon we cannot make use of the Universal Forces beyond her. The Moon absorbs, condenses, and channels all of these forces, which are then carried to Earth, upon the Lunar Light Spectrum...moonbeams.

The pure essence of the power used in Moon magick originates out among the stars. The Sun draws in the stellar energies and transmits them into our Solar System. The Planets within our System absorb this energy which then merges with their own vibrations or energies. The Planets, in turn, then emanate a composite energy within our Solar System. Each Planet's energy or vibratory pattern is unique, and influences other planetary bodies and forces, within each planet’s sphere of influence.

This is the basis of Astrology and Planetary correspondences in magick. This is how and why magick works.

All Blessings Be. )O(

THE YEAR OF THE WITCH

Wicca-Matic

Modern witch's cauldron. Brewing up a precautionary potion. Hehehe

we three kings and a witch

"Old woman, we travel to Bethlehem, the new-born child to see." "'Tis an easy sign I give you, follow that bright star, Sirs three."

"Wilt thou come with us, old woman and help us find the way?" "Nay, Sirs, I thank thee, but methinks I have much to do today."

Since then, 'tis said, at Epiphany she searches every year, for that child around Italy, among children there and here.

She hovers her flying broomstick, above the houses where they live, seeking chimneys down which to drop the gifts she has to give.

Candies for those who have been good; a lump of coal for those who have not; remembering each child on her list of gifts careful that none has been forgot.

Sol Invictus

As this week promises warmer weather through the weekend, I'm reminded of an invocation I learned some 30 years ago...

Immortality be upon this One
He is a sharer in the Sun's everlasting Light
This world will hold him forever
