Season of Transformation

Dragonflies carry messages that deal with deeper thought – and they ask that we pay attention to our deeper thoughts and desires...to be honest with ourselves. They remind us that “ordinary” physical reality isn’t all that is available to us.
We always have the power to choose what we focus on, and take action of some sort that will help change our current circumstances for the better.
We are all in a constant state of coming to know and understand who we truly are, of connecting with the vast source of power and energy that was given to us by Spirit at the time our Souls came into being.
Own the illusion and embrace the transformation!
All Blessings Be. )O(

Beltane Blessings

Choose joy!

Today's Oracle

Today's reading is all about releasing yourself. You may be feeling that someone or something outside of yourself is restricting, limiting or otherwise holding you back. The truth is that only you can limit your life, your happiness. By not saying something, by not doing anything...you have in fact cornered yourself. Yes, we need to be responsible, but the price was never meant to be our happiness.
Take some time today and make a small step toward what you would like your life to look like. Break free from preconceived scenarios and expectations. Happiness is, after all, simply a state of mind.

All Blessings Be. )O(

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(

Today's Power Animal

Release your fears. Safety is an illusion. The more you love, the more love finds you.

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.

SPELL ORACLE

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(

Wisdom from the Goddess

You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on this earth. Take a moment to remember who you really are. Mediocrity is always a personal choice.

Equinoxical Notation

Now that Mabon is past and the dark of the year fast approaches, I thought this was the perfect sentiment. Carry it with you as an affirmation for every precious moment.

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.

REAL SENSE

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

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.

A Message Yule Love!

Today is Yule, the Winter Solstice. It is the end of the old solar year & the beginning of the new one.
Traditionally, the end of the year is a time to look back & reflect, but also a time to look ahead to the future.
It seems only fitting that we would also say goodbye to all those stressors & perceived problems experienced throughout the last year, making room for all the new & exciting things to come.
Letting go doesn't mean giving up. Giving up means admitting defeat. Instead, true surrender means releasing any attempts to force your agenda on life. It means opening yourself up to all the possibilities & potential. You will find that this form of release allows your life to flow much more easily. through you & for you.

-Purified of all my past...only love within me last-

May you have a festive & loving holiday season. )O(
