THE MAGICKAL CAULDRON

A Day to Dream...

Dreams, puzzling, informative, scary, fun, loving and sometimes all of these things and more wrapped up in one! But what do they mean? What are they trying to tell you? What is the significance of one dream and then the next?

Dreams are one of the most complicated things to interpret. I have dream books galore and not one of them sounds entirely accurate when I try to decipher my own dreams. I am not knocking the authors, I am just saying that I have had no such luck with these sort of books. Because I am a practicing witch, people expect me to decipher their dreams as well! LOL So I try and I have done pretty good so far.

How, you may ask. Well, the first thing I do is ask the person to describe the dream to me. I listen and at some point during the dream interpretation, I will ask questions. EX: "I was dreaming that I was in mexico and then..." Right there, "in Mexico", my first question is what did you eat? The answer, "Uhmmm, I had a taco and some rice", there is your answer, that is why you were dreaming of Mexico. The same goes for I was being chased by a large rabbit...what did you watch on television? "Alice and Wonderland" again...there is your answer. All dreams are not this easy, trust me, but when you take pieces of it you get answers.

However, there are times when dreams ARE telling you something and you can only decipher them when that something actually happens. True story: It was a Thursday night ( I only remember because we were going away the next day) I had a dream that someone was going to be in the hospital. I woke up and told my husband that the phone was going to ring and we were going to get bad news. He said "Oh great!" Well, no phone call...whew..right? Wrong, Tuesday, we get a phone call, my daughters grandfather is in the hospital and he is not expected to leave. He died a few days later. How would I have interpreted this dream until it happened? I couldn't because I couldn't remember the actual dream when I woke up. This poses other questions, how can you figure out something if all you can remember is that the phone is going to ring and it's going to be bad news? No answers here.

Some people have dreams that tell them specific things. This has also happened to me, my oldest daughter, my mother, my uncle and some friends I know. But when can you tell if it's that type of dream? What kinds of dreams are just because you watched a certain show, ate a certain food or read before going to sleep? I don't know. It is a hard thing to answer until you start pulling the dream apart, you may not know.

How about recurring dreams? I used to have a recurring dream...you know the one that you have night after night, sometimes there is a month or a few months that go by and then you have it again. I had this same particular dream for years. I was looking down and then falling and then BAM, I'd wake up. When I finally told my mother about it, she said well when you were little you nearly fell out of a third story window. Do you know that to this day some 20 some odd years later, I have not had that dream! Maybe there was an event in your life that is coming through in your dreams and you don't know how to connect it. Such as, do you ever dream you are an animal? It doesn't matter which one, but you are a human form and run like a cat or swing from the trees or fly like the bird, etc....well that I can answer!!! That animal is your power animal, your spirit animal, your animal guide, the one that keeps you safe. Yep, I had a dream like that as well and I have known my power animal for a very long time now. How about you?

Okay, so moving along here, dream interpretation can not really be found in a book. It has to be found within yourself. I am not knocking people who have written about dreams and what they mean, I am just saying that maybe if you look deep enough into yourself, you may just find the answer to your dream all by yourself.

Oh and the reason for this BLOG.......I had a wicked dream last night and I CAN NOT figure it out!!! LOL It in no way had anything to do with what i watched and/or ate. Trust me on that!

Hope you all have sweet dreams ; )

Steps to help you live easier...

Good Morning, Afternoon or whatever time of day it is when you get to reading this! ; ) I have been getting phone calls and e-mails from people asking me "Why am I feeling so drained?", "Am I being punished?" and questions to that effect.

I am wondering if there is a real answer out there. Some people say it's KARMA, some say it's the Planets, and some even say it's a Curse that has been placed upon you and your family.

My answer here is maybe it's a combination of lack of sleep, poor diet and little exercise, coupled together with to much coffee, not enough water and lots of stress and maybe a smidgen of being overworked? Oh and let's not forget the laundry, housework and cooking!

Does this sound like you? Well then maybe it is and what can you do about it? Many people want to know how to better spend their time, how do we fit all this work, family time, exercise and more into 24 hours? Society has placed unrealistic demands on parents, and the working parent hasn't got a prayer in the world! Everyone is striving to be number 1, they have to have a big house with a great yard, a great big SUV, a pool, a vacation house, jewelry, everyone of the children needs to be in every sport available and you know...they have to keep up with the Jones's.

Now don't get me wrong...if this is what makes you happy, go for it. I am really just going to try and help you to de-stress your life!!! Yup, that's right. I have 3 children myself, I was a working Mom, but now, I'm a Keen Mom ; ) My husband he is at work in his sleep I think...yeah, if he could figure out a way to be on his computer while sleeping, he would!!!

So here are some tricks I myself use. Don't sleep...hahaha, I am just joking! And remember folks, I can give you some ideas on things that worked for me, I can not give you all the solutions, but I can try and help.

1. Drink more water. Before your first cup of coffee in the morning drink one glass of water.

2. Give your children more chores. They are only sitting around watching t.v. or playing video games anyway! Your kids no matter what age, like chores and the younger you start them off, the easier it will be as they get older. They can get their backpacks ready for school, they can pick out their own snacks and put them in their snack bags. They can make their own beds. This also helps teach them responsibility.

3. Assign every person a coat hook, or a place in the closet for their belongings. I even went so far as to buy a shoe rack with cubby holes in it. It works! Also put a basket for each child (or one if you don't have the room like me) in the closet for hats, scarves, mittens...etc. This helps eliminate picking up these items and they are easy to find when needed ; )

4. Take the stairs when you need a little boost of energy, it will get your heart pumping!!! Besides that elevators are stuffy. Oh you're on the fiftieth floor? Well take the elevator up to floor 48 and then the stairs ; )

5. Disposable all purpose wipes. They are great for the in-between cleanings and they smell great. They are also good because they kill all those little germies! One in the bathroom and one in the kitchen. Dryer sheets...they are great for picking up dust on the television, shelves and such.

6. TAKE A BATH!!! The ultimate form of relaxation would be a massage, but a bath with epsom salts would do. It helps release your muscles.

7. Take at least 5 minutes out of the day to meditate...turn the t.v. off and just do it!

8. Laundry, well, the only way I can make the laundry in a house with 5 people in it easier is to hide it! LOL Actually everyone has their own basket, when it's full, I do it, fold it and put it away. This saves time from sorting everyones socks! What a mess that was.

9. Here's a biggie...if you can, plan your meals. When you plan them, it's easier to get them done. Even making your own frozen dinners is a great way to save time. I haven't attempted this yet, but planning them has made my life easier.

10. Breathe!!!!!!!! Take a minute before cooking, doing dinner or working and take some deep cleansing breaths before starting. It works.

11. This is the last one I will throw upon you and it's a deep subject......Downsize, seriously, if you don't use every room in a house then what is it good for except collecting dust and storing items you should throw out anyway. Living large and being able to afford it is one thing. However, lots of people are living beyond their means because they are keeping up with the Jones's. As I said, it's up to you and I will not judge you if that is how you want to live, but your hurting yourself financially and physically. If you don't need it and can't afford it, get rid of it. Life can be simple it's all about how you chose to live it.

Stop worrying about what other people think of you. It doesn't really matter, we are all human and we all deserve respect. If there is a job out there that needs to be done, then it should be done right and with dignity. I know I have said that before, but it warrants being said again.

I hope no one thinks I am being judgmental, I am not trying to be. I respect people from all walks of life. I strive to be a better person everyday. I believe in what goes around comes around.

Live your life the way you see fit, but remember to live it well and living well is not measured by the stuff that you accumulate during your lifetime, it is measured by what you do in the time you are here. Children are a precious gift, they require hugs, kisses and lots of love and the occasion piece of chocolate! Seriously, if you do one thing in life, love yourself, cherish your family and children and live life as there is no tomorrow.

Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY and Smile at someone, maybe it will brighten their day!

HOLIDAY NEWS...

WELCOME IN SPRING...Holidays, holidays, holidays....here we go again. Today is the First Day of Spring the Spring Equinox/Ostara and Sunday is Easter.

Since I was a child, my family has always celebrated Easter and the Easter Bunny. So I thought I'd give you a little history of the Easter Bunny, The March Hare and some more holiday tid-bits...

The Easter Bunny has origins in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Rabbit and the Hare were and are the most fertile animals known to man. They served as symbols of the renewal of life during the Spring season.

The symbol of the Easter Bunny seems to have it's origins in Germany. The Easter Bunny was first mentioned in German writings in the 1500s.

In the early 1800s the first edible Easter Bunnies were made in Germany. They were made out of pastry and sugar. I guess I prefer the chocolate ones we get now ; )

The Easter Bunny wasn't introduced to American folklore until the 1700's by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country. When "Oschter Haws" arrived it was considered one of "childhood's greatest pleasure" next to a visit from Christ-Kindel (Chris Kringel/Santa Clause) on Christmas Eve. The children believed that if they were good the "Oschter Haws" would lay a nest of colored eggs. Now that would be a sight to see!

Children would build nests in secluded places in the home, the barn or the garden. Boys would use their caps and girls would use their bonnets to make nests . Now I understand the significance of bonnets! The use of elaborate and decorated Easter baskets didn't come until later as the tradition of the Easter Bunny spread through out the country.

Now here is some information on OSTARA...

Ostara is celebrated on the Spring Equinox. It is a Pagan Holiday and it is celebrated when night and day are of equal length, it's a celebration of balance. It is not really winter and it is not yet spring.

Ostara is also considered a celebration of fertility. This is one of the reasons it is celebrated after the last Full Moon in March, seeds are ready to be planted and they are blessed for the upcoming of their planting. The lunar cycle plays a large part in Pagan Holidays.

As for the "Easter Bunny" it was more thought of as the "March Hare".

In Europe during medieval times, the March Hare was viewed as a major fertility symbol. This Hare, is a species of rabbit that is nocturnal for most of the year. In March the mating season begins, this left bunnies everywhere all day long. And since the female Hare is "superfecund" it can conceive a second litter while still pregnant with a first! Thus leaving Ostara rightfully called a "Festival of Fertility".

Color is also of great significance in Pagan Holidays. So with color being significant and eggs being a symbol of the holiday, the act of coloring eggs makes sense.

Before the egg became closely entwined with the Christian Easter, it was honored during many Rites and Spring festivals. The egg was cherished as a symbol of the universe by the Pagans, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, and Persians. From ancient times eggs were dyed, decorated and exchanged and shown reverence.

The egg was believed to have special powers. To Pagans the egg represented the rebirth of the earth. The long, cold winter was over, the earth was ready to be reborn, it mimicked the egg, miraculously bursting forth with life.

Just a small history lesson for you all today ; ) If anyone would like to chime in and add anything to this, please feel free. I welcome your comments!

Blessed Ostara~

Daily Affirmations...

So far, I have written 3 daily affirmations for you. I am hoping that they have helped you the reader. When I do my affirmations all of them, they work best for me. So I am going to give you the last 2, so there is a total of 5 altogether.

~~~Daily Affirmations~~~

Before Going to Bed...

I lay my head for slumber rest,

My dreams I hope enlighten me for the next day to come,

I thank the Lord and Lady for their guidance,

I ask for their hands again tomorrow to show me wisdom, stability, patience, harmony and more,

I hope to serve you well for this,

So mote it be, Blessed Be.

Before Meals...

We sit before this food,

We thank the Lord and Lady,

We thank our mother earth,

For without you all we have nothing,

Blessed Be.

Now as I said, these affirmations help me, you can reword them if you like. You can put the names of your pantheons/guides, etc. in place of "Lord" & "Lady". You can also reword any other part of the affirmation to suit your needs.

I also did a BLOG on meditation...One reason for meditation is to greet your spirits (or Devas) of "your" property. Devas assist in both your health and spiritual growth. You only need ask them ; )

Now here's a thought for you. Once you have started doing daily affirmations, start recording your events of the day. A journal is a great way to keep track of what is going on.

I'm not saying that you have to write a whole lot of stuff down. I know you are busy ; ) However, if you take a minute or two out of your day, it helps to reflect on how much better your life is with affirmations.

Try this, don't do any affirmations for 1 week and record what happens each day. Then do your affirmations for 1 month and record what happens. Lastly, don't do your affirmations again for 1 week and take notes of what is happening.

Was there a significant difference? I believe there will be. If you are up to it, try it and let me know what happens!

A Lot of Catching Up to Do and a Magick Brew or Two...

Well here it is March 18th and I haven't BLOGGED since the 13th! Whew, it's been quite a busy weekend and to tell you the truth, I have been down with a migraine for most of it! This is something I have suffered with since I was in the 4th grade. A lot of people have tried helping me with them and honestly, very little has done anything to conquer them. I don't know why. I love holistic medicine, most of it usually works for me. I guess in this case it just doesn't.

I half jokingly told my friend yesterday that it must be Karma from a past life! LOL In actuality, I believe it is because I am supposed to find what it is that works, doing it by myself, the norm for me. I think it's acupuncture, however, I hate needles and I don't want them sticking out of me for say a 1/2 hour or so...LOL I guess, I need to break down and try it though. I guess if I can sit for a 3 1/2 hour tattoo with the needle poking me, I can do acupuncture ; ) I am going to the chiropractor today, that usually helps. Before cringing, he never puts his hands on me to twist and push on me. He has this little tool that he clicks up and down my spine and he put me on some electro machine that is like getting a mini massage!!!

OKAY...enough about me, let's get cookin', in the cauldron that is!

First I would like to focus on the Days of the Week and their meanings; What Planet Rules that Day and what Intention you should Focus on.

DAYS, PLANETS and INTENTIONS~~~

Sunday ~ Sun ~ Success, Career, Health

Monday ~ Moon ~ Dreams, Astral Travel, Psychic Endeavors, Releasing Negativity

Tuesday ~ Mars ~ Partnerships, Self Improvement, Strength (emotional)

Wednesday ~ Mercury & Chiron (a small planetoid outside the solar system) ~ Communication, Healing, Education, Memory

Thursday ~ Jupiter ~ Business and Social Matters, Material Wealth

Friday ~ Venus ~ Romantic Love, Beauty, Soulmates, Friendships

Saturday ~ Saturn ~ Protection, Neutralizing, Karma, Bindings

Today we can focus on the Full Moon and what type of Magick we can do. The Moon right now is Waxing Gibbous, 89% of Full. It is time to set a plan, gather your ingredients and get cookin' ; )

Each month the Full Moon has been designated a name and description of that moon. This month, March, the name of the Full Moon is Chaste. This means:

~~~March, The Chaste Moon~~~

The March Moon is associated with the maiden and Faery folk. It is time to gather the seeds of inspiration and imagine what they can grow into. You should set up an Altar to the Moon and bless your garden in the moonlight. It is now time to prepare the earth for planting and yourself for change.

Full Moon Magick also focuses on ridding negativity from yourself, in your household and/or your job, it's also great to rid yourself of bad habits. The moon goes through many phases, the easiest way for me to remember where we are when the moon is new or full is to think like this;

New Moon ~ I plant a seed (by writing or speaking) for what I want to come to me, like pregnancy the moon grows as does my plea/wish, when the moon becomes full as a belly in pregnancy, my seed is now fruition and the ideas are given birth to become reality. The New moon is to draw things towards you.

Full Moon ~ I speak or write my words, my intentions are to rid myself of negativity, debt, bad habits, relationships gone bad, etc. As the Full Moon disappears from the sky, so do the problems and issues disappear from my life. The full moon banishes, cures and gets rid of bad influences.

So where do the days of the week come into play? Magick does not need to performed on the Esbats and Sabbats only. Esbats are the times when the moon has changed from New to Full and so on. Sabbats are specific holidays in the craft. However, each day, planet and or moon phase plays a big part in creating magick and/or casting spells.

For example, I want to cast a spell for love...What day do I use? When should I do it?

Your answers are here...Friday because the ruling Planet is Venus and hey wasn't she all about the love? ; ) Well, yes, so now you need to ask yourself, what moon phase? Oh that's easy... you want your ideas to become reality so the 1st Friday after the New Moon would be the answer here.

Think of creating magick and spells as a science project. Yeah, I said science...LOL...you have to "formulate" an idea, use the right ingredients and get your days and moons straight. If you do all this and formulate it correctly, by the next moon phase, you should have a completed project! Oh sometimes we have the law/rule of free will, so if you are trying to manipulate someone, it may not happen, but if you are just wanting a lover, be prepared, they are coming and sometimes sooner than later.

Say you want to rid your life of a person who is nothing but awful to you. Okay, manipulating? Maybe, maybe not...here lies a gray are. However, I am going into this.

Where do you begin? The moon phase, Full Moon, Saturday...it's good for bindings and negativity. As the moon disappears from the sky, so does this person from you life. Now a word of caution...If you work together, make sure you send this person to another job where you wish them no ill will. If you live with this person, send them somewhere that you are not. They can move to a better place or at least don't make them homeless!!! Let's not forget the rule of 3 and Karma ; )

Well, once a again the moon is turning Full so with that I will leave you with a spell to reduce the negativity in your life. This is general, however, you can add to it or take things out of it. Just do it with caution, perfect love and perfect trust so as not to harm anyone. I bet it works!!!

What you will need~

A free standing mirror, (something large enough to reflect a candle when placed in front of it)

Oil for anointing your candles. (Virgin olive oil always works well if you have any questions)

1 Black Candle

1 White Candle

2 candle holders

Parchment Paper or plain unlined paper

Pen and Black Ink or a plain black pen or marker (I prefer old fashioned pen and ink, it generally has no writing on the pen, some say that you should have no writing of any kind, even as small as a trademark on any item when used in magick)

Small cauldron, or some type of container to burn the paper in. I have a cauldron, however when I burn paper in the house, I use my wood stove. It is cast iron and black. In my old house, I had a fireplace, I used that for my paper. Anyway you do it, it still serves the purpose, no fires! It is all about containing the fire engulfed paper!

Setting Up~~~

1. Write on a piece of parchment paper what your intentions are; ie..

With this black candle I send back the negativity,

Back to whence it came,

Black, black send it back!

With this black candle I send all negativity back,

Back to whence it came,

Black, black send it back!

With this black candle I send the bane away,

Go back, back to whence you came,

Black, black send it back. 2. Place the mirror against a wall.

3. Take your black candle and hold it thinking about any negativity that is coming your way and how you want to send it back to where it came from. Do not at this point or for this spell use any person's name. (Unless you are experienced)

4. Anoint your black candle with the oil and put it in a candle holder. Place the black candle in front of the mirror so that it reflects.

5. Take the white candle and in the name of the Lady and the Lord anoint it with your oil. The white candle will add balance and protection.

6. Put the white candle in a candle holder and set it in a different section of the room/house. This candle should not be near the mirror or be seen in the mirror.

7. Light the candles, white first. As the black candle reflects in the mirror, see it sending the negativity away, or back to the person who sent it in the first place.

8. When you are all set up sit in front of the black candle and mirror and read the words on your paper.

9. Light the paper on fire with the black candle and let it burn into the cauldron or what have you.

By the time the new moon comes around, you will be having a lighter and airier feeling around you. Any negativity that was around you will be released and you will be freed from it.~~~

One last little note, it may seem that I am all "white light" but remember there has to be a balance in everything, magick included. I am not saying to do something mean or to hurt someone, but sometimes if there is someone who is an annoyance or a bad influence in your life, it's okay to banish them from your life. This does not = bad or evil, it ='s balance. Just chose your words carefully and make sure your intentions are pure and right. Does that make sense? I hope so.

Okay, I am off for the day, I can't sit around typing all day! ; )

Comments are always welcome!

Personal and Controversial Subject...

Hello, today I am going to discuss two highly personal and controversial decisions. This BLOG is going to deal with Love Spells and sending out Karma. Whether you practice the Craft or not, some people wish that they could watch people get their Karma thrust upon them so they can sit back and watch that person suffer, some wish for love and for it to come from a specific person.

So where to start? How about we take it slow and start with the LOVE SPELL! When is it okay and how should you do it, if you are to do it at all? This is one of the most controversial spells that you can cast next to the revenge spell (which I will not discuss today). I can not answer yes or no in this matter, it is purely up to you the "caster". I am just here to get you thinking.

Before you make the decision to cast a love spell, there are many questions you need to ask yourself. Do you really want this person to love you? Are you ready to do the work to "keep" that person around if they come to you? Do you feel that you should manipulate a person to fall in love with you? Okay, so you get the jist of this, right? I could go on, but I figure you get it ; )

If love spells didn't work, then why are there so many around? Well, in some cases, people believe it is okay to manipulate people into doing things for them and to fall in love with them. Again, I won't judge anyone for how they practice. In an earlier BLOG, I stated that I have cast and the spells I have done have worked for me. On the other hand, I have done some and karma came right up to me and kicked me in the tushie! So I am much more careful about my wording now. You had better believe that if you are going to ask for something, it just may happen and with consequences to yourself! With that being said, you can cast whatever spell you wish, just be prepared.

I prefer to do spells that are for "the good of all and the harm of none", a common practice amongst Wiccans. There are things that I do where I ask for a specific person to do something, if it is "correct" for the both of us. There is such a gray area here that it is sometimes difficult to determine if it is okay or if you are manipulating someone. I am however very specific in my workings. So if you are casting a spell for love, be specific. You may find that the actual person that comes to your door (figuratively speaking) isn't the person you thought it would be.

In any case...there are 2 spells that I find work very well for attracting a lover to yourself. "A Spell To Summon A Lover" and "To Attract Love And Romance Into Your Life"... neither of these spells manipulate another's free will and generally work within a specific time frame.

When talking about Karma, you usually don't need to even worry about this. The Gods and Goddesses or your higher power will return Karma upon a person when they see fit. Here is another gray area of the craft, to cast or not to cast. What if the person in question has done something wrong or malicious? Isn't it okay to ask for their Karma to be delivered upon them in a timely fashion?

Maybe is the answer I will give here. I always think that if a person is physically harming another, especially a chid, then Yes, it is okay. I have thought about such things myself and yes, I have asked that Karma strike at the back end of a few people who I felt deserved it. Of course, I left it up to my Pantheon to make the final decision and it worked out as I thought it would. Has Karma come back on me in this instance? No, I made sure that I was justified in my asking. I really had a great reason for what I did and the outcome, was justified.

Again the choice is completely up to you. As I said before, be prepared to do the work required for your task. You can not ask for such things if you are not prepared to continue making offerings to the Gods and Goddesses or your higher power.

With the spells that refer to Karma, bindings are usually the spells that work best. Another thing to remember is that maybe instead of having their karma thrust upon them like a hot knife, you may just want this person out of your life. Maybe you can just sit and reflect on what that person actually did, was it that bad? Maybe you really just want to send them away from you, you just want them not to be around you. You can do a spell to send them someplace else where they can live a productive life and be away from you.

This is where that gray area lies: What if you really just wanted the person to get Karma because you really wanted revenge? Questions, questions, questions!!! You really need to think about things before you do them. You have to be objective and you have to question your motives.

The reason I posted this is because I have clients who have asked me for love spells and spells to send a person's karma back to them. I have helped some people and I have also told them before hand that the Love Spell is a "general" spell, I can not and nor should they make a specific person fall in love with them. If you yourself loved that person, then you would respect them, the whole person, inside and out. Besides that, would you want someone to love you only because you cast a spell for that? They don't really love you and they may never really love you. It could all turn into a horrible mess with people's feelings getting hurt.

When a person asks about the Karma issue, if the specific person you are aiming for hasn't committed some horrible act or crime, then chances are, you can try to send the Karma back to them as much as you want, but the reality is, it's not your job. Their higher power will take care of them on their own time.

I learned a lesson a while back....A person, no matter who they are or how horrible they can be, may receive all the money and comforts that they want (notice I said want, not need), however, once they have achieved all their goals, it is bound to be ripped away from them. That person who was so horrible to you and everyone, the utterly selfish, rude, uncaring one, is bound to hit rock bottom and have to face the people they were unkind to. I have seen this happen and it does. So a lesson learned here is "Be careful of the people you step on when you are climbing the ladder of success, they will be the same people you see when you are falling back down."

Please feel free to leave your comments, if you have any. As I said, I am not your judge and/or jury and I do not make your life decisions. If you ask me for help, I will help guide you to a path where you will find your inner self, happiness, love and joy. The first step is yours and only you can make that decision.

A TAROT for Today...

Oh my gosh, yesterday I was so busy and life got in the way, so I didn't BLOG!!! EEKS.... I would also like to Thank those of you who have e-mailed me about my BLOGS...THANK YOU ; )

Let's get right down to it here...my TAROT pick for the day is the FIVE of WANDS

In this card we see five men with large staffs. It looks as if they are fighting, however upon closer examination of the card, we can see that this is not the case. They are mimicking warfare. It is the battle of life and the search for love, romance, fortune and even fame.

Fives represent challenges and changes and the can be fortunate or not. The fives may also indicate material prosperity however, you will need to be watchful of your spirituality. Fives may represent spiritual poverty if you are unbalanced. On a whole, you should remember that spirituality is a part of your make-up, your being. This means that you should practice some sort of religion or have some higher power, even if it is with-in yourself. Meditation and reflecting on your life and how you live it are also good ways to be spiritual without religion.

Having many wands, more than 3, means that progress is about to happen. Thoughts are starting to manifest, they are in the first stages of development.

Business and Love affairs are a focus here. Love will be just around the corner waiting on you when you are ready, do not become to occupied with other things, you may just miss it. You will have enough money to get by at this point in the year. The bills get paid and you meet your needs, however be careful not to overspend right now.

Be careful what you ask for, you may just get it. Love is a biggie here. If you are wishing for an ex to rejoin you, it may just happen. It will be passionate and intense, is this what you really want? Confusion is bound to rear it's ugly head here. All in all, with money and love, if you are wanting and desiring theses things.... they will come. You need not worry about how you are going to obtain the money and if you want it!!! We all want and need money in our lives to live, it will not be in abundance, but it will be satisfactory to your needs. Again, limit some spending and all will be well.

Lessons need to be learned and the biggest lesson is this...if you are angry with someone or you are blaming others, clouding the issues, etc....you will need to change your way of thinking. Be HONEST with yourself, are you thinking you are going to lose instead of win? If you see that this is how you are thinking, you will finally have some piece of mind!!! Be positive and honest and life will work to your advantage.

Always with this card, expect the unexpected. If you have been wondering about a friend, family member or old lover, expect a call, e-mail, text or some form of communication with this person. It certainly is an unexpected pleasure!!!

Well, that is that!!! Of course that is in a nutshell ; ) There are always more interpretations of the TAROT and different views from different readers. However, this is the jist of it. I hope you found this information helpful.

Have a GLORIOUS DAY!!!

How to be a Wicked Witch and other Fun Stuff!!!

Good morning all!!! I was just sitting here thinking wouldn't it be fun to do something "Wicked" today?!! Well, wicked indeed, let's just get right into it.

For many moons, I have been practicing the craft and I thought I'd share some magick with you today. First of all, let's discuss the Moon, the New Moon has passed and right now as we speak it is Waxing Crescent, it is 10% of Full, the Full Moon will be on March 21st.

Since the Moon is Waxing, let's start there. The Waxing Moon is for magickal growth, advancement in things, improved luck, progress and even travel. This is the time to ask for things to come. Now is the time to ask for money, love, job promotions, etc.

Think of it like this...you want something so you plant the seed by using your words and energy, you do this when the moon is new and waxing, your ideas grow as a baby grows in the womb...the moon becomes full, like a mother's belly becomes full and when the moon starts to Wane, your ideas should have birthed into fruition. Simply put, you plant the seed, your idea grows and by the time the moon is full your ideas have been birthed.

Do you need to ask for something? If so, do it now your time is running out. Today is Monday let's focus on that. Monday Magick is structured around abundance, creativity and spiritual progress. Do you need an abundance of money? Do you want to become more spiritually aware? Do you want your creative juices to flow without difficulty? NOW is the time to act.

I'll give you a little something to do if you feel like trying this, it just may work for you! This is called "Candle Magick", it is very common among witches to use candle magick. Not only is it effective, it is extremely easy to perform.

~~~WHAT YOU WILL NEED~~~

1. One Green or Gold Candle and Candle Holder (any size candle will do, usually a tapered candle would be what you are looking for here)

2. Patchouli Oil

3. A sharp object to carve symbols into the candle. A pin will do nicely.

4. Matches 5. A place to put your candle so it will remain undisturbed, someplace you will not move it for at least 3 days. ~~~WHAT YOU NEED TO DO~~~

Sit in a quiet area holding the candle and envisioning the money coming into your hands, filling your wallet, etc.

Next take the pin and carve some dollar signs into the candle. Put at least three (3) dollar signs on the candle. More if you desire.

Then, take some Patchouli Oil and anoint the candle. This means to rub oil on the candle. Simply put some oil on three fingertips of one hand, place them on the candle in the center and rub up three (3) times saying or thinking about money coming in. Then place some more oil if needed on your fingertips, start in the middle of the candle and rub the oil down envisioning again the money coming into your hands or filling your wallet, etc. as fast as the candle burns.

Place the candle in the holder in a place where it will remain undisturbed for at least 3 days.

Light the candle saying "As this candle decreases, may my money increase" let the candle burn out completely. I suggest that if this is not feasible, letting the candle burn out, let it burn for at least 15 to 20 minutes, you can certainly let it go longer. You will have to do this everyday until the candle has burns itself out.

***IMPORTANT***

Never leave a candle unattended, do NOT light any candle near flowing fabric such as curtains. Please remember SAFETY FIRST ; )

So where is the "Wicked" part you may be asking. Some people think that you should not ask for certain things, money being one of them. I don't see why. Why practice the craft if you are not doing it to make your health, well being, finances and such get better? It is all about manipulation and changing the energies around you to make your life better. So why can't I ask for personal financial gain? You wouldn't skip asking your boss for a raise if you deserved one, right? So if it is "Wicked" I am being for putting it out there for financial gain, so be it!

As one of my favorite Authors wrote..."Money can't buy happiness, but wicked witches aren't naive. We know that being financially secure frees up a lot of energy that can be used in magic." ---Patricia Telesco

Some wicked witches prefer to make charms or amulets to carry about for their endeavors. Here is one for love. You will probably think this is crazy, but it works!

~~~WHAT YOU WILL NEED~~~

1. A lotion or cream that preferably has no scent

2. Rose Oil, Patchouli Oil and Orange Oil and droppers

3. A small container to mix the ingredients into and that you can take with you if need be

4. A mixing bowl, preferably glass

5. A bakers spatula or something to stir and mix with (no need for electric mixers though!) ~~~WHAT YOU NEED TO DO~~~ Take some of the lotion and place it into a bowl that you can stir it freely in. It should not be more than will fit into your portable container.

Place 5 drops of Rose Oil, 3 drops of Orange Oil and 1 drop of Patchouli Oil into the lotion. Mix it until it is well blended with the spatula all the while saying...

Love does from my heart pour,

Let love come to my door,

Love be infused into this lotion,

I will now wear this cream as a potion!

Now place the cream into the jar for easy transportation. You may be traveling and need some of it ; )

HOWEVER...remember this, once you find the person you believe is the one for you, STOP wearing the cream and throw the remainder out. If you find that the relationship was not what you were looking for, make a new lotion.

***If you have someone in your life that you are attracted to and the lotion potion does not bring them to you, that person was not meant for you. You can not manipulate a person's energy to suit you. That wouldn't be fair to either of you. This lotion potion is to attract the right person to you, not a specific person ; )***

Okay, enough for today. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens next! No previews...LOL

HAVE A TERRIFIC DAY!!!

Best Witches~ Angela

Stirring the Cauldron, casting spells...

Hello and welcome again! I have decided to pick the topic of SPELLS today. You will find the more you read my BLOGS, the more comfortable I am becoming in BLOGGING here. I was not sure how well my BLOGS would do, but judging by the number of views and private e-mails I guess it's not to bad. I also always WELCOME comments of any kind. I find it helps myself and others if people engage in some form of communication. Okay, enough about that...let's get going...

There has been a lot of talk about spells and spell work and who should do it and yadda, yadda, yadda...this is not a new topic, but it is one that is generally discussed with passion. So here is my opinion and it's just mine, you can agree or not, that's okay with me. If you have read my past BLOGS, you know I am not judging anyone for what they think.

~~~SPELLS and SPELL WORK~~~ First and foremost, I believe that spells DO WORK. I have done them and I have sold them for many moons. Personally, I have had much success with my spell work. It doesn't matter what religion you practice, if you believe in the power of prayer than you should believe in the power of spells. To me, they are very similar in they way you use them. You can pray for someone to get well or you can do a spell for someone to get well. What is the difference? They both include the workings from a higher power than us, they both usually involve lighting a candle and they both usually require that we sit quietly and send our own energy to the person who needs healing. Do they sound similar? I believe they are.

NOW, on the other hand, if you want someone to fall in love with you, well that's a different story. My mother has always said to me "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it" and my father always said "What goes around, comes around" I know these are 2 very common sayings, but that is how it was with my parents back in the...uh hum....early 70's ; )

With all that being said. I believe that a person can sell a spell, but will it work? Hmmmm...it all depends on what the spell consists of, what intention the person casting has and if they are doing it properly. Anyone can do a spell, you don't have to be a Pagan/Wiccan, you just have to have the proper intentions, tools and the need to do it for the better good of all (even if the all is just you!). If however, you are going to sell a spell, then isn't it your duty to teach the person buying it, how to use it? I mean everything I buy at the store comes with instructions. I used to sell spells in my own store, now I sell them in someone else's store. They come with instructions on how to use them "properly". I focus on what is right, for the good of all and the harm of none. I even add my e-mail address for people if they need further help. I have also offered my own Keen clients free spells to try at home if they asked me for additional help. A few BLOGS back, I posted some money spells that you might want to try for yourself. The spells are intended for your purpose, to receive more money for yourself. It is not manipulating anyone, it will hopefully change the energies around you and bring in the positive. I have had success with 1 or 2 of them. They all don't work for me, but they all won't work for you either. Spells are not one size fits all. Yes, there are spells that have been handed down and they work all the time, but I don't believe they have been 100 % if that were the case you'd be spending a lot of money to get a hold of them.

Before purchasing, casting or even creating a spell, there are questions, many questions you need to ask yourself before moving on. How much will this cost me? (This is a highly sensitive area and I am not going to address that one at this time) Am I doing this for the correct intention? Am I manipulating anyone? What do I expect from this after it is done? What if the outcome is different than my intentions? Am I willing to do the work? and many more, I am sure. Here's a good example...Love spells, they are the most popular and if it is a love spell you want, then you should not use a persons name...that would be manipulating their energy and they may not be the person for you. Besides that, if you did get that person, would you then want them afterwards? What would you do with them if you decided you really didn't want them after all? Questions, ask them first ; )

The intention of a spell is to attract the positive to ourselves. Spells should be used to help yourself and not manipulate others into doing things against their will. Spells should be carefully thought out as I stated above. You can cast your spell to find a love that is correct for you, but don't make someone fall in love with you. As many money spells as I have done for myself, I still haven't won the lottery! But ya know what? The money has always come when it is needed. Of course I have always worked, but sometimes that unexpected bonus shows up or a raise, or that one customer you are serving leaves a great tip!!! It is unrealistic to think that you can sit home and the money will fall into your lap. The same goes for love, if you are sitting home on the couch and not getting involved in society, well, how do you expect to find love? You need to be present, you need to be willing to get out there and be seen. Spells are like affirmations maybe, hopes, dreams...whatever or however you want to describe them is up to you. I am just trying to get people to think and add some insight into what spells are used for.

Really, there are spells for every occasion. Again, I have done many of them and have had great success. Remember you cast a spell for specifics...whether it be love, money, health etc. some good, some bad. Again, be careful what you wish for and what goes around, comes around!!! Usually three fold. I have friends who practice the Craft and say that the 3 fold law is not from old witchcraft. Yes, that is true, but live and learn...now it has a name and a reason behind it. So do I think you need to be careful when casting...YES!!! Do what you think is best for you, for you are the only one who really knows.

Have a great day!

Magic, Majick, Magick and Choices that we make...

The longer I practice the Craft and the more people I meet, the more I see that this one little word can cause such a big stir!!!

Why is it that people seem to always have something to say about the way one chooses to spell this word? It has boggled me to no end. Personally, I am a very visual person and I like to spell this word anyway I see fit and that is...magick. But that is my own personal preference. I don't spell it this way for any other reason. It just looks better to me. I honestly don't do it because it's some old version of the word, I don't think it is, but it could be. It's the way it looks that makes me spell it that way.

So why in this day and age does anyone care? I can not answer that question either. It just seems sad to me that people would make an issue out of it.

I guess I am kind of doing that, aren't I? Well, maybe, maybe not. I kind of see it like this..."Live and let live".

I think I am a pretty open person, I don't have to agree with everyone and if someone chooses to spell a word their way, so be it.

Hey, when I was a teenager, many, many moons ago all the girls changed the spelling of their names! If it was Amy, it became Aimee, Merry became Meri...and so on, it's all about choices.

Just as we all have choices in our lives, we can have a choice to spell a word our own way.

Talking about choices...we come to this...people who are judgmental. Why is it that people feel the need to be judgmental? People are human and we all need to get along to the best of our ability. We need to have some form of harmony in our lives. The world is crazy enough without people picking on others for the way they spell, let alone the way they live their lives.

In reality, I understand that there are people who do "bad" or "unacceptable" things in life and we or someone needs to act upon that to stop them. But why get yourself in an uproar over silly mundane things such as who is seeing who, how someone spells, the way a person is driving, the way someone practices their craft, etc.

This is where "choice" becomes relevant. We need to make a conscience choice to let some things go. We need to as a society become more tolerant of each other and make the choice to remove ourselves from a situation that does not please us or can do us harm. If you are driving behind someone who is slow or swerving, pull over, slow down, why get upset about it? It's bad for your health to get upset about such things. Hey, it could be that there is a higher power working for you keeping you from an accident.

People have the right to live their own way also. I don't care if you have a girlfriend, boyfriend, kids without being married, if you work from home, travel 3 hours both ways or a stay at home Mom. If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well and you made the choice to do it, so go for it!!! I tell my oldest daughter that you can be whatever you want to be, as long as you are happy, I am happy for you. She wants to be a fashion designer...I think that's great. I am more than willing to support her decision. My son might want to be a garbage man for all I know, cool, there is always a call for that ; ) But seriously, right now, he doesn't know, he's 7! LOL Here's a choice that needs to be made...In my "real life" today, I got an e-mail earlier from a mother who is concerned about her son because he is autistic and has been mainstreamed into schooling. He is being picked on by a few "bullies". She happens to work at the school also. I asked where are the teachers and parents in this case. Their response was that she needed to separate her "duties" at the school from her "duties" as a mother. She is now left with some hard choices, on one hand she can forge on and be a mother first or she can be the school employee first. She could lose her job if she isn't careful. They can find any number or reasons to dismiss her if she isn't careful.

Is this a hard decision for her? No, I don't think so...she is a mother first. So this is real life, where real things matter. Mundane things clog up your mind and create stress for you and those around you. So let go of the little things that matter very little. Breathe and spend your life with your family and friends. Have some fun and don't worry about what others are doing (unless it's your job) and certainly make the choice to not care about what others think about you. If you aren't hurting anyone or doing unacceptable things, you are a good person and no one can think ill of you.

The choice is yours...

ABRAHAM LINCOLN:

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

ALBERT SCHWEITZER:

Ethics cannot be based upon our obligations toward [people], but they are complete and natural only when we feel this Reverence for Life and the desire to have compassion for and to help all creatures insofar as it is in our power. I think that this ethic will become more and more recognized because of its great naturalness and because it is the foundation of a true humanism toward which we must strive if our culture is to become truly ethical.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN:

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff life is made of.

Todays Pick...

Today I will focus on the Tarot. This is something that I feel is important to do. I guess the spirit has guided me today for this. I have had some of my own personal issues happening in my life, so I sat and meditated and decided to pull up a card.

THE ACE OF CUPS.......

I particularly thought this was a great one at least for me today. I hope it will mean something to you.

Although this card is associated with the "summer" months...it may just work here.

Communication is a biggie here with The Ace of Cups. You will hear form someone, an admirer, relative, someone offering a job. You will hear of a marriage. Tis the season ; )

Projects will come to fruition work will increase, you will buy something that you have wanted for a long time.

The unexpected will happen. You will find love or work in a place you did not expect it!

The best part of The Ace of Cups...your health will be at it's best! SO if this card comes up for you...your health will soon stabilize, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Of course the daily Tarot may not apply to everyone, but if you get this card in your own personal reading, it is sure to be good news for you!

Optimism vs. Pessimism

Today is a GORGEOUS day and I am not just saying that to be optimistic. It was 53 degrees out at 7:30a.m. when I was dropping kids off at school!!! A sure sign that spring is just around the corner.

Today is a MISERABLE day out. I was dropping the kids off at school and it was wet, the snow is melting everywhere, my shoes are soaked. I can't wait until it all dries up. With spring just around the corner, it's going to be even worse!

Hmmmmmmm...I just had to start this BLOG out like that because you can now see the difference between "optimism" and "pessimism" right there in front of you! Oh it's easy to see when put into writing, but not so easy to see when you are speaking.

A lot of people believe they are optimistic, but are they really? Which sentence sounds more like something you'd say? I am the first to say that I am highly optimistic and sometimes it annoys people! LOL But what can I do about it? I don't look at life through "rose colored glasses" so I don't turn a blind eye to the dangers of this world or the troubles and strife that can occur. I just choose to be on the optimistic side of life. Why be grumpy, irritable or miserable? Why look at the worst when you can look at the best?

I try to stay optimistic in my readings as well...however, if there is something I see and I do not think it is "all good" I do ask if you'd like me to tell you. I don't blurt out information that could be seen as..."something you should be concerned about" without first prompting the response from you. I have done plenty of readings where the person has said to me, "Don't tell me anything bad", usually the case is, nothing that bad is coming up. Most clients also believe that if the "Death" or "Devil" card come up that something horrid will happen. That also is not the case.

I am not going to get all deep and involved in what the cards mean, every reader looks at them differently. Myself, I see the change, the forward movement or even the end of something that was once good. It does not matter that the card says "death" or "devil"; my cards actually say "The Horned One" which I prefer since I don't believe in the devil. What matters is the interpretation of the card and what is surrounding it.

My point is we ALL have choices to make and you can choose to be optimistic or pessimistic, but you don't have to bring the people around you down if you choose the pessimistic side of things. Every morning when I wake up, I say..."I am going to have a good day" that is my first decision. It doesn't always work out that way, but in reality if the coffee isn't made or the kids are falling behind in our morning routines, the car doesn't start, I get a flat tire or so on... why should that be an issue? No one has died and everyone is healthy.

I guess it all depends on how you look at life each and every day. Some look at life as a hinderance, some think "why me?", still there are some that think "life is great". I believe there is a reason for everything and we all just need to find our niche in this world and do the best we can. Why not start out your day as an optimist and if you end the day as a pessimist, hey, there's always tomorrow ; )

Just some crazy ramblings by me for today, because in actuality......it's a GORGEOUS DAY today!

What if............

Hello again, I joined Keen a few years ago although, I still consider myself new because I wasn't really working at it. Since February 9, 2008, I have devoted my time to Keen and I have to say, except for the few rare occasional people that don't listen, have all the answers themselves and the ones who won't wait out a time line, I have found Keen to be exciting and fun.

***Before reading on...this BLOG is not meant to offend anyone and it is not aimed at any person in particular. PLEASE know that I just wrote it to stimulate you the reader and people's way of thinking...*** Now, I have a lot of BIG questions and they all start with "What if..." and I will list them here for you. I also have inserted some answers, that may help...

1. What if the people who call and get a reading actually waited out the prediction time line before leaving their feedback? Maybe they will actually see that the time frame was correct.

2. What if the people who called didn't expect you to be a miracle worker? They may actually be able to move forward in their life. I know that I can not make the married man/woman leave their spouse for you.

3. What if the people who called 10 different advisors got a different answer from you? Maybe the new advisor was telling them what "they" saw, because that was the question they asked. "What do YOU see for me in this relationship?"

4. What if the people who called didn't already have an answer in their head? The person might get the truth and not necessarily like it.

5. What if the people who called didn't expect you to answer 6 different questions in 2 minutes? They might get more DETAILS on the questions they called for.

OKAY, so those are some of the many questions running through my head today. I guess it is because I know how I read, I do give time lines. I give them in such a way that it goes like this...EX.~"I see contact in 3 days to 3 months"

So if you called me and 3 days later the person has not made contact...there is still the factor that the 3 months are not up yet!

Also, I do not give ABSOLUTES, how can anyone? I am not the almighty, I am human and I just pass on to you the caller what my guides are telling me.

Last but not least...I do NOT sugar coat ANY reading. I may just very well be the one and only reader that tells you the caller something different, but it doesn't make it less valid if you are not willing to wait out the time line.

I believe there are MANY TALENTED READERS here on Keen. We all try to accommodate the callers and tell them what it is we see for them. Some people just don't "click" and that is okay too.

I know that there has been on rare occasion(very rare), people who have sat in front of me and we have not clicked. What can you do...do you get along with every person you meet in real life? Probably not.

I guess what I am trying to say is that the Advisors here on Keen are human, if you don't click with them, that is okay. You have to call a few different ones before you can find one that is right for you. Maybe there are a few that are right for you and that is better still. Just remember to be open to the possibility of new ideas, thoughts and solutions. We all read differently than each other and the outcome might just be the same!

Finally, I will leave you with some words to live by~Famous Quotes~

Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! Best Witches~ Angela

A Sunday Morning Something...

Today is a blustery, windy, cold and frigid day!!! A day to just curl up on the couch by the fire and read a good book or my BLOG!!! LOL

So what is coming to the BLOG today? A few tidbits from my kitchen and BOS.

First a DAILY AFFIRMATION~at SUNSET~

Whether rain or shine this day has been lovely.

For the Lord and Lady create it that way.

I thank you for all my learnings and earnings.

May I benefit more tomorrow from the craft of the wise.

So mote it be.

Next a SPELL from my Kitchen~

Cocoa beans are used to gain money and chocolate is used for a quick money supply. On the next New Moon...try this.

The ingredients you will need are very simple...Grab yourself a nice mug of hot cocoa and add some honey to it. You will need enough to do this every night from the New Moon to the Full Moon. This will steadily increase your income. Tasty hunh?

How about some "simmer" magick? What is simmer magick? It's magick you do in your kitchen on your stove!!! How easy is that? The food you make should be made with "LOVE", yes "LOVE". Whenever we are in the kitchen cooking for our family and friends, we have to be in a mood to do it. If not, what happens? We burn it, overcook it, undercook it or worse, it tastes awful! LOL

With all of that in mind...remember that when you cook, do it with LOVE! The more you remember to do this, the more harmony you will create in your home. Start now, keeping in your mind all pure, happy calming thoughts when you cook. When you add an ingredient into your dish, think of "good" things, think of love, think of health and whatever other good thoughts you can think of!

While stirring your dish, make sure you are stirring in a "clockwise" motion, this will bring in the positive and seal it in!!!

What are you waiting for? Get cookin'!

Today a TAROT!!!

Good Afternoon All!!! It is a gloomy day here in New England, but my hopes are high, spring is around the corner, right? Looking for positive change? Well, here it comes to some degree. What better day than the 1st of March to start with some positives?

It seems that this winter has been drudging along and people's energy levels have been low. Everyone I speak to says the same thing..."I can't seem to get out of my own way" and "I am just so tired!"

Well some good news...the EIGHT of CUPS is todays TAROT CARD and most of it is about POSITIVE CHANGE!!!

A positive change of mind and/or status are indicated in the number 8. The results are beneficial here. Positives in Business, Emotions and New Beginnings.

Completed projects are a main focus as are ideas that have come as far as possible. Time to move forward, keep the flow going, don't stop your wheels from turning.

Business will be GREAT!!! Business ventures are due to succeed. Windfalls are unexpected but may show up. All matters involving money are soon to reward you.

Relationships are another story here, if you are not in one then a rendezvous may occur that is at best, luke warm, not altogether hot and steamy. If you are in a relationship, you may see that it has gone as far as it can and no new growth can come through. It may be time to change your path and move forward in another direction. For matters of long term relationships that truly need some "fixing" spice things up, make changes and re-ignite the flames of love!!!

Beware and take care of yourself, health issues are due to rear their ugly head. This is the one area that may not be satisfactory for anyone! So be careful to eat right, exercise and go to the Doctors if you feel there are real issues. It just may be that there are. If you don't nip it in the bud now, they could turn out to be long term issues.

Life happens and you must learn to TRUST yourself and the decisions you are making, just be sure to think everything through at this time. Don't continue to ask "WHY?" just TRUST and move forward. This is the key, "MOVEMENT" like the symbol of infinity, the 8 will have you going around and around if you don't have that trust. Do this and all things will end on a positive note.

Here's hoping for movement and positive changes.
