Thursday 1/6/2016 Sagittarius Waning Moon 4th Quarter

Happy Thursday Proud Pagans! Today we want to focus on letting go of all that negative energy and getting in touch with our higher selves!

The Waning Moon means the moon is decreasing in size, moving from the Full Moon towards the New Moon. This is a time for spells that banish, release, reverse. This is a time to break bad habits or bad addictions, to end bad relationships. This is a time of deep intuition and a time for divination.

At this time the moon represents the Goddess in her Crone Aspect, give praise to Hecate, Morrigan or one of the other Crone Goddesses.
The Sagittarius moon is a time for spells for legal matters in general, laws, judges, teaching and learning, education, philosophy and ethics, dreams, contacting the higher planes, accessing the Akashic records, big rituals, contacting Deity in general and God in specific, divination, starting a tradition, big business, monopolies, conscience, Ceremonial magick, and good luck.

Aries Waxing Moon & Will Power Spell

Happy Tuesday! The moon is waxing in the sign of Aries (2nd Quarter) and the element is fire. This is a time for new beginnings, to conceptualize ideas, to invoke. At this time the moon represents the Goddess in her Maiden aspect, give praise to Epona, Artemis or one of the other Maiden Goddesses. This is a time for spells that attract, that bring positive change.

The Aries moon is good for starting new projects or business ventures, especially those that need a little push or extra courage. This is also a good time to buy, cleanse, bless, etc. any magical tool with a blade. Anything related to courage, matters of personal strength or self improvement (like breaking bad habits, esp during the waning moon), changes resulting in a complete change of how you do things or a paradigm shift, protection, especially for the military.

When the moon is in Aries, one must be very careful about how much magickal heat a practitioner creates within his/her spellwork as this moon is volatile.The Aries Moon is also the perfect moon for an impatient magician as this moon brings quick results.

Will Power Spell

You will need the following items for this spell: 

• candle (large and light blue) 
• candle (long and white) 
• candle (small and purple) 
• potpourri (any type) 
• matches 
• incense (any type)

This is a meditation spell. You will require a number of candles. Basically any shape candles but their colors should be light blue, white or purple.

This spell can be cast anywhere where you can remain for a period of time (the longer the better) and where you will be undisturbed and comfortable. Light the candles and start the incents or potpourri (you don?t need both, just one, or if the candles are scented that works as well).

Lay down in your comfortable place and chant the following chant:

Give me strength and guide me right,
To my goals when they?re in sight,
But even when they?re far away;
Guide myself towards the day
When I shall stand upon the shore
My conflicts gone forever more.
And guide myself to make the choice,
That I can?t bring myself to voice;
And calm my tormented, ravaged soul,
From right now till forever more.

The more often the chant is spoken, the more will power you will be given. The spell will fade over time and it is best if it is cast weekly.

Ancient Irish Hair Binding Bond of Trust Spell

In ancient Ireland, it was customary for a man to braid a bracelet from his hair and give it to the woman he loved, a gift of trust - knowing what can be done to someone magically if you possess their hair. The binding is not activated unless she accepts the gift, thus accepting him and agreeing to the spell. This is not a binding that can be imposed on another.

New Moon in Leo Success Spell

It is Monday and we are in the New Moon standing in the zodiac sign of Leo.  New Moons bring renewal to the matters that zodiac sign rules.

New Moon in Leo: Love relationships, including those with children and pets, are refreshed, as are personal creative goals that expand talents and opportunities for self-expression. 

Spells involving leadership, prosperity, fame and career are best done in Leo, but do not perform any spells involving love, or any other emotion, as Leo may actually counteract it.

Success Spell

You will need the following items for this spell: 

• A green candle 
• A purple candle 
• A talisman with your religious symbol (pentacle, cross, star of David, etc)

Casting Instructions for 'Success Spell Spell'

Place a green candle on one side of a room. Place a purple candle on the other side. Now, light the purple candle. With your religious talisman hanging from a chain or string (to be worn as a necklace) dangling from your right hand, pick up the purple (lit) candle with your right hand. Now walk in a straight line across the room directly to the green candle. Using the purple one, light the green candle. Set down the candle so they sit next to each other. Chant, 

"I walk forth without doubt and fear,
And success draws me near."

Lay the necklace in front of it and meditate for awhile on the success you need. Let the candles burn themselves down, and wear the necklace whenever you wish success you follow you. When you walk through a door to job interviews, auditions, or anywhere you need success, imagine how you walked in a straight line in your ritual, and consciously make an effort to do the same when passing through the door.

Crystal Meanings and Uses - Amber

Amber transmutes negative energy into positive. Bridges conscious self to the Divine.

Powers & Magickal uses: Luck, Healing, Strength, Protection, Beauty, Love.
Energy type: Projective. Associated elements: Fire, Spirit.

Amber is neither a gemstone nor a crystal, but is fossilized sap from prehistoric trees that has aged over the course of millions of years. Amber is usually thought of as yellow golden in hue, but amber also can be found in shades of milky white, red-orange, green, black and even (very rarely) violet. As such it frequently contains insects, and is therefore seen as a giver of life energy. Amber also represents the Goddess or Great Mother, and is sometimes worn by Witches in a necklace of alternating amber and jet (representing the God) beads. It is used to enhance magickal ability and to ward off negativity, whether it is within your own spells or of those directed against you.

Be wary of being fobbed off with imitation amber. Fake amber it is made of glass or plastic, true amber is warm to the touch, smells slightly of pear drops, and produces a sweet smelling smoke if you push a hot pin into it (plastic smells pungent and acidic).

Other Uses: lungs, spleen, heart, endocrine system, memory, calming, protection, purifying, revitalizing, transmuting energy of the earth, draws disease out of the body and transforms it, clears negativity, electrically alive with solidified golden light, kundalini awakening, activates altruistic nature, spiritual development. Early physicians prescribed amber for headaches, heart problems, arthritis and a variety of other ailments. In ancient times, amber was carried by travelers for protection. To early Christians, amber signified the presence of the Lord. In the Far East, amber is the symbol of courage; Asian cultures regard amber as the 'soul of the tiger'; Egyptians placed a piece of amber in the casket of a loved one to ensure the body would forever remain whole. Amber energy properties: rings a care free, sunny disposition, promotes good luck and success, dissolves oppositions, helps with stomach, spleen and kidney complaints reduces joint problems alleviates teething pain in babies; 2nd Chakra, Spleen and 3rd Chakra, Navel, Solar Plexus.

In many traditions of Paganism and Wicca, days of the week are very important aspects of effective spellcasting. For example, spells to do with abundance or prosperity could be done on Thursday, because it is associated with riches and desire. When casting a spell concerning business or communication, one might prefer to work on a Wednesday due to its associations.

While not all traditions follow this rule, when you're doing any sort of magical working, always be sure to document the day of the week you're performing the spell. You might be surprised later on to see some connections!

Planet: Sun
Metal: Gold
Deities: Brighid, Helios, Ra
