The Mind Of The Writer

So for the last few days during my computer madness, I spent some time writing about what I believe in my life, though not all of what I believe has been directed at Witchcraft and I wanted to share how I felt.

I believe in all life, the yin and the yang sorta speak. The balance in your life directly results the things you experience, the people you attract, and the knowledge you have. What you put into the universe will no doubtably come back to you in some shape, form, person, action, or reaction because the universe isn't hidden from you, its right in front of your face, should you choose to see. 

     In every hour of every day, there is something to been seen, heard, and done. Most of us move through this world letting it tell us how and what to do regardless of how it may affect us. For instance, a series of events in you life that you may not particularly want to be dealing with or hell you don't even know why you are dealing, would fall in this area. Have you ever stopped and took some time to figure out why you have what you have? Consider anything you may have done in your action life? Maybe to someone elts? Is every person you meet the same kind of person? Re-runs give wonderful insight.

"If your complaining about things in your life, your just making more of what your complaining about."

     I believe the universe is completely unbias and moves in the direction your energy goes. True Magick is the ability to maintain positive energy and move it towards a direction, and Witchcraft is how its provided.

I described Witchcraft to a friend once as a

 "Positive, nature way of life where we pray to both male and female Gods and Goddess in a physical form to thank and maintain a positive way of life."
Witchcraft, will teach you how to manifest your life into and around a positive, nature base way.

     I believe the Gods provide the things we ask of them, when we have worked hard enough for them, but do not decide when that will be, and 100% of the time is provided in perfect alignment to what you are truly in need of.

I believe in communication with your animals, they understand you just fine and occasionally choose to ignore you from time to time. They make wonderful listeners and have the ability to see what you can not.  They will protect and remain loyal to you, so long as you do for them.

   I believe family should be available to listen, be understanding when something does or doesn't go right, help when your hands are tied and you have done all you can, care about anything you do, believe what you say, and love you regardless of whatever your inadequacy are. Children are to be nurtured and allowed to to make mistakes to learn, parents should be more creative with discipline to avoid hitting their children and offer a good example of how things should be done. They should also think about what the best interest of the child is over what they want for the child, and take some time to understand the difference between the two.

 Divorced parents especially should put aside their differences for the general interest of their children, have open communication, and remain committed to the agreed actions from both parties.

" Children, see everything, try everything, learn everything, repeat everything, and call you out on everything."

  I come from a background of both physical and mental abuse, where children take care of other children, seen and not hurd, fear, pain, and everything a child should never be exposed or put through with mind games as the preferred technique. I survived through the struggles and ignore the pain, and commit to never have it repeated. Though I still see to many people with children who seem to care less, like somehow their job ended. Your job as a parent begins when you choose to have children, and ends when you die! Its totally unfair to think you can bring a person into this world and not take care of it, or desert them when you don't feel like dealing with them. That is totally wrong on so many levels! Children are people and you have been blessed to have one, they make mistakes all through life, drive you nuts, but with guidance they do amazing things!

  It makes me ill to see so many abused, neglected, starved, or homeless children because the parents don't care or have something better to do, when there are good people who can't even have children!

"Your children are the gifts you have received, treasure, nurture, care, and be thankful you where given them."

Life isn't meant to be someones game, and those of you who play it like a game will continue to receive exactly what you have, regardless how good your game is, there is no humility in dishonesty, only repercussions. Whats your balance?

 

Blessed Be

If only I........

Hello Everyone!

I sure hope everyone had a wonderful holiday in a round belly kinda way, and enjoyed the time they had with their families. I had a wonderful time with family and friends, would have been one hundred times better if my children were here to join us, though they did have a wonderful day and ate lots of food and told me how fun it was.

         I know those of you who like to read the things I write about may be a bit frustrated, and I have to let you all know that I am trying to get as much as I can up here for those of you who are interested. So in light of blogging for my readers, my computer has like 26 Trojans on it, and I no longer have a computer at my home until I am able to fix it, I have to use outside sources to attain computer access.

         I do thank the readers that still read and I am doing everything that I am able, in my knowledge to get back up and running. As for now a bit on the computerless side, I will try to blog after my classes where I have computer access.

         As I have stated before I will be adding new information on Witchcraft, Some more recipes for your kitchen, some useful ways to treat your cats, I bit about what I believe so my readers can understand me in a spiritual sense a bit better, and I also plan to be adding a poll for fun!.

Well I'm sorry for the technical problems regarding my blogging but things should be fixed and up and running smoothly soon, thanks for your loyalty and understanding.

I Can't Find This Anywhere......

I have been spending some time with my boyfriend visualizing what we would like to achieve in the future, as far as what our home would look like. Aside from thinking about how the general look would be, we want to create a room in our home just for our family, where we can gather and practice together. Our idea for creating a room all in itself, is because we have animals and yes they are loved but they also find it fun to play with things they shouldn't, and we like to leave our altar as it is set up.

 So we spent some time talking about how we would like it to look. We came up with some general ideas as far as how and where we would set our altar and place where our circle would be, and we are still looking to find things that call to us, in thinking about what I want for the room I find it fustrating to have the 4 corner candles on the table. I want to be able to place them at the corners along the circle's edge, so I really want to have  four large mystical pillars that hold my 4 corner candles and maybe the element's, so I can place them in each corner, but I can't seem to find any that are tall enough for what I like :( . So if any one has a store they can recommend that has some nice candle holder pillars email me the link! That would help us so much!

I know most witches make their own tools in most cases, understandable because any tool you put your own power into to make is going to work for you the best, so it is always a great idea to make your working tools. But on the other hand I can understand buying some thing, they may make you feel a certain way or it represents something to you or it makes your practice space decorative, whatever the reason its your practice so,

 "Do what thou wilt, with harm to none.."

If You Could Call The Future.....

Today I was thinkig about the odd ways I have helped people and I wonder if I have an ablity that I don't really know much about. OK I know that sounds totaly random but I have guided my life by how something makes me feel, for instance like when I meet new people, or what direction I may take that day, I have a hard time explaining this so I am going to tell you about what happen one day that I find myself doing alot without thinking about it.

About 5 or 6 months ago my boyfriend and I had a cupple living with us and I had just started a new job. Shortly after I started working that cupple had moved out and another person we know was in need of a home. So I went to talk to my boyfriend about it and we decided that he could stay, well he came by one night to just hang out for a while and wasn't sure if he would stay over before he moved out of his other place.  We talked about a hundred things and it was cool to have intresting conversation but he ultimatly decided to go back where he lived that night. My boyfriend and I don't really care that he wan't staying that night but I did happen to tell him right before he left that

 "If you were ment to stay the night here because of your situation, something mest up will happen when you get to the store, waiting on her"

He just kinda laughed it off and left to head for the store where his ride was to pick him up.

My boyfriend and I went about our night and I get a text about 30 minutes later from the girl picking him up,

 "He has the keys to the car!"

So I'm laughing at this point and about an hour later we have a knock on the door, he's holding the keys with a confused look on his face.

So I'm really not sure how I do this but I have done it on a lot of occasions without even thinking about it.

The Book Of Shadows

Most Witches don't have a pre-filled book of spell, for example on Charmed. Most of us have tons of note books filled with notes and scribbles where we modified our charms,spells, or rituals. The "Book of Shadows" is really just a place where you keep your thoughts and spell workings, you can even make a separate book for your herb treatments.

Now if you want, you can make a nice fancy "Book of Shadows" if you choose to. You can do that buy going through everything that you have and use a lot, then organize it to your liking. You make your cover and buy nice parchment paper and copy what you have organized onto it, or you can buy a pre-made book that you like and copy them in to that. As you grow in your spells gradually add the ones that you like to the fancy "Book of Shadows".

Over time you book will grow and become a wonderful item to pass on to your children.

Have fun with the creation process if you chose to make your own, Usually anything you make yourself hold the most power, so don't be afraid to make something!

The Best Morning Ever!

Hello everyone!

I had to come and blog about what happen to me a few days ago!

So some of you know that I work for a company called Pre-Paid Legal Services from my home, well I Begin that in 06 when I met this most wonderful person.

I have not seen her since I left that area three years ago, and I have always told her to come see me when she can get a chance. So Sunday rolls around and I wake up to a text message on my phone, and I usually don't look at them first thing when I get up. She tells me that she is about 30 minutes from my home and wants to see me!

So of course its my friend I freak out a bit and tell her how to get here, and she takes me to Starbucks so we can chat. She didn't have long to spend with me because she had some things to take care of back home in CA, but I got to talk to her about so much and It felt good to see my friend again.

She even showed me help and it lined up with when it was needed.

So call your friends and see what they are up to maybe go visit one. It made my day to hang out with her after all this time and I hope I get to see her again soon.

A Day In The Desert

The other day my boyfriend and I went out on search for some resources for medical plants that we might find in our area, I don't know how may herb dealers are around the US but finding things in nature is both fun, exciting, and a useful alternative to buying them, it also helps you understand how to identify them.

Most of the herbs that I use I do have to buy at my locale herb dealer because most of them don't grow near me and the weather is unfavorable to grow them myself, I also have a problem keeping plants in the house because I have 5 cats and one overparticular likes to uproot them and I haven't figured out a way to keep them off! If you have any handy tips that would be awesome!

Anyways so we walked for about an hour to see if we find a few that the reference said where in and around our area. We found four of them, I'm sure there is a lot more but I need a book with color photos to help ID them. We have two bushes that both look like the Mesquite so color pictures is next on my list. The Id on the Mesquite is still a bit in the dark but we did manage to successful identify 4, and one with rather nicely tasting fruit. 

The desert plants we did find, are the Cypress tree, The Desert Willow, Octillo, and The Pricly Pear.

I read up on what these plants can do and I am currently working on a tincture out of one for fungus, always handlyb  to have around the house.. lol.

  Desert plants can be used to treat a lot of problems, for instance those plant's we collected I'll go over each ones uses for now and when I get some treatment recipes made I'll add them to the blog as well for you to try.

So the First one we found was the

 Cypress Tree

This tree is a medium size ever green, the trunk is strait, and their leaves are scales.

The cones are clustered on little stalks around the circumference of the larger branches, but not out in the foliage like Juniper.

Tincture from fress twigs is effective on all skin fungus infections, including ring worm, jock itch, athletes foot,and other tineas.

you would apply this several times a day for several weeks and you can use this same procedure on your pets!

(this is the one I am currently working on)

You can also use it in tea for things like urinary tract bacteria,urethritis, and cystitis.

 Its also been used to repel insects

The next one is

The Desert Willow

I really enjoy the willow trees I think they are very pretty and my cats love to eat the leaves.

The Desert willow is a water indicate in the desert and it frequents desert washes, grasslands, and valleys.

You can use this plant for hectic coughing, on your scratches and  scrapes, anti fungus,and it can aid in the side effects of antibiotic treatments.

This was not hard to ID

Ocotillo

I call this plant the lier because when you walk up to it your first thought is don't touch me because it looks like its armored to attack you. Octillo is actually pretty soft when you have to touch it or hold it, but if you get smacked with it expect some pain. One of the cats that I have likes to play with these.

You can use this plant medical in tincture for pelvic fluid congestion, frequent need to urinate, and most hemorrhoids are helped by this plant as well.

I have to admit the

Prickly Pear

Isn't the nices looking plant and I strongly recommend protecting your hands they have needles and prickly hair all over them. This plant makes fruit that you can actually eat! I know it sounds a bit nuts, I'm from the north originally and I didn't know you could eat a Cati but you can enjoy the fruit.

When you collect these you can use the pattys medical but for just the fruit you would pick the purple pods off the top, don't just stick them in your mouth though they have hairs on them and they bite back!

Collect a few if you have never tryed them and take them home.
To eat the Pear when you get home skewer them and roast over an open flame (the pear will start to juice from what looks likes pores this indicates you got all the hairs) and cut them open remove the seeds and enjoy, they are also the most beautiful shade of pink red.
The patties you fillet and wrap around injured areas  effectively drawing out any poultices.

Though for most of these plants I would be careful and use gloves to collect them due to the desert nature of the plants. But we have a really good time find them our self and look forward to getting to know more of our native desert plants.

I'm Sorry for Not Blogging Much

Hi everyone! I have to apologise for not blogging a lot, I do try to get in as much as I can for my readers but I have been having some problems working my computer, its really old! The computer has half a gig and working the Internet is slow, my computer freezes and I am currently waiting on some ram that I ordered for my computer and it should be here so, and should fix my problem! I hope things are well for everyone and your days have been blessed and I will be posting more often on this page. I plan to put up some information on some newer plants that I have found to be useful but also not what you would typically find and most areas of the US. I also plan to put up some information regarding Wiccan holidays and add some more ways you can use herbs at home. Thank you for reading and please feel free to send me an email and tell me what topic that you want more information on!

Herb Treatments From The Kitchen

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is feeling well on this Samhain eve.

Today I thought I would Invite you to try making a treatment or two, to get use to how your herbs work.

I don't know about you but when I first started trying out the herbal treatments, finding people who knew how to use them I found to be hard and every site I went though didn't tell me much on how to make it or just give me a recipe that I could try. I think its hard for people who are new to herbs to really get the hang of them without some kind of guide or know someone who has been at the practice for sometime. When I first started to follow Wicca I didn't know which path or part would fit me most and I kinda just learned as I went. When I moved into the area that I live now Wicca took on a deeper meaning to me and I found myself extremely interested in what nature could be used for and funny enough that is where I met the person I look up to when I can't figure up something.

I made this website to try to help where I can and so since finding a recipe for anything was not easy I will be posting up different actual remedies that you can try out and tell me how you think they worked for you.

Bust A Cold

• 1 tsp Elder Berries
• 1 tsp Peppermint
• 1 tsp Mullein
• 1 tsp Golden seal (or) Turmeric
• 1 Cup of Water

Bring the one cup of water to a boil and remove from heat, add your herbs and steep 10 minutes. Strain out the herbs, Drink 1 to 2 cups per day up to 4 days

Coughs

• 1 to 2 tsp Mallow
• 1/2 cup of Water (cold)

Add the 1 to 2 tsp of your herb to the 1/2 cup of water and let stand for 8 hours, warm to luke warm DO NOT boil or steep in boiling water.

Strain and drink.

Can't Sleep?

• 1 tsp Penny royal
• 1 cup Water

Bring the one cup of water to a boil and remove from heat, steep your herb for 10 minutes; Strain and drink.

Take 1 to 2 cups a day

To Clear Your Nose

Turmeric

To use the turmeric you open the container that you have it in and sniff the ground turmeric just enough so you know its in your nose; you may sneeze 6 or 7 times then blow your nose and repeat one more time, but wait a few minuets to blow your nose the second time.

blow your nose and breath can be as fast as 3 minutes.

Remember that with all the infusions you make, use natural honey as a sweetener if you can't handle them without it..


Give it a try and see how you do!

First Time Herb User .... Worried, Confused..Just Not Sure

Good afternoon everyone!

Today I was on one of the groups that I frequent and responded to a post about herbs and how they can affect you,  This person is new to using herbs. The post made me think about how may other people might just have that same question so I though well I'll blog about it and hopefully some can find this useful!

So the post was about if herbs have side effects, allergic reactions, if the ER knows about herbs, and what  herbs can be harmful regarding drug interactions. Today I'm going to cover what I have learned in these areas and what you should have on hand when making medications for yourself or for your family.

The first thing you should get a hold of is a really good reference, that has a lot of herbs listed in it, one that has the names of each herb (or serveral names) and what each one of its properties are so you can learn what each herb can be used for. Some of these books have simple recipes in them but the more you learn about your herbs the better you can come up with new treatments, so having something to refer to is wise.

The next thing, that is a must for everyone who makes medications, is a journal or a notebook so you can write down what you mixed together and how much. Another very useful reason for the notebook is so that when you do complete a treatment you can keep track of how much is used and what side effect it may have, if you treat more than just yourself then keep the reactions of those you gave it to so you are aware of a general side effect for that herb treatment.

Once you have some information about some different herbs and how they can be used, start practicing!

Regarding side effects and interactions; anyone can be allergic to anything it depends on the person. So if you know you have common allergies to plants then I would recommend a scratch test to find out what you should not use but only if you know your have bad allergies. Most herbs don't have side effects or they are very mild but the ones that do have properties that may be harmful are clearly stated in your reference, and do be aware that some herbs that are harmless can still cause problems. Peppermint is one like that, its mostly harmless but should not be taken more than 2 times a day for up to a week or you could hurt your heart, another is thyme; we use this everyday in cooking but when in a medication if you use to much you can over simulate your thyroid. The reference can be very useful.

OK when it comes to drug interactions once again it depends on what you are taking, I am on a medication called Gabapentin its a nerve block and I use herbs for most other things instead of pills because of side effects but if your super worried or you just don't want to risk it you can call your local pharmacy and ask them what herbs would interact with what your currently taking and they will tell you, and you just avoid theses herbs, you can also look this up online.

With any Emergency room as long as you tell the doctor or aid what you have taken then the doctor or aid should know what those plant properties are and will be able to assist you if you need them.

With the study of herbs I recommend that if you are new to making your own treatments find people who have been at the practice for some time as an additional resource. Enjoy the plants that nature gives you and learn to recognize what plants you need in the wild and find a good herb dealer for the herbs you can't find near you!

 I hope that this clears up some questions and please once again feel free to comment add something or write me with questions.

My chosen path

Well, about ten years ago I found myself trying to find something without holes.  My family has holes, half truths, misdirections, and unhealthy behaveure; so I sat on a fence for quite some time waiting for something to speak to me what my needs were. I was in high school when I started to question everything they tell you not to in church, yea that stage..... Anyways, with holes in my family, not surprisingly came holes in their answers. I started to read about everything I couldn't get an answer for, I read everything from ESP books to Witchcraft books "it" was awesome but I didn't know what "it" was!!  I began to understand that "it" is Wicca. and I was totally amazed at how Wicca filled all of my holes!  It's been ten years and I still don't have any holes in my life and life has put me somewhere I don't have that family church judgement, where I can practice in peace. Wicca teaches you to trust yourself and see the unseen, the signs or warnings that may be placed in front of you to either ignore or take action.  I find it much easier to learn from what your shown and make wise choices, but ASK FOR THEM you don't always have your eyes open and you don't always know where to go or what to do when you get there! I have been to a lot of places and met alot of people and picked up piece's along the way of things that I don't know,  and I've settled in the study of herbs and how you can heal from them. I enjoy garden magic, I am able to use what nature provided to treat myself, my boyfriend, and my children and bring to me positive direction. I don't always use herbs in my magic but I enjoy helping others with ways they can use an herb or two to treat themselves. My reason for sharing treatments is because most things can be taken care of without a medical bill or a nasty side effect of a medication the doctor tells you is what you need, but those med's are made in a lab and each one may help with one  thing and then give you ten more problems you didn't need. The doctor  put me on a few kinds of pills and even gave me one that didn't work at all but I paid good money for it, and didn't get that money back for his mistake. The cycle of take one and deal with the side effect isn't fun and can be dangerous, so with that in mind Mother Nature didn't sit and make beautiful things for us to just look at, everything has its use and that's where I began my study. I have made many Tea's , drew up some baths, and treated my children, friends, and my family now. I enjoy what Nature and the wonderful things that she provides for us! I may not know everything and I have alot to learn and I am always interested in what you think!  I welcome you all to post comments, send me emails, tell me why you choose this path and what it means to you. I would love to hear from you and look forward to it!!

Rue and Lavender Ritual (transphermation)

Hi everyone! Today I thought about Adding a ritual instead of just a charm spell. I warn you with this rituals you will need to consult a good Astrological Calender before casting! I included a link to a pretty awesome software that will defiantly solve the calender problem, at the bottom of this article for you to look at.

The reason for consulting a calender is because you don't want to do this ritual when the moon is "void" or when Mercury is in retrograde, because these times will tend to make energy go wonky or "off". For this reason I sugested the Calender.
Well lets get started!
This ritual will take 7 days to complete
When your beginning any ritual you want to take a hard look at what situation your facing, for this ritual you would be concentrating on what negative thing in your life that you need transformed, and keep it firmly in mind.

Tools you will need
Fabric and ribbon the colors are of your choosing
White 7 day jar candle
Few springs of Rue ( don't handle pregnant!)
Handful of Lavender buds
Flat surface where your candle can remain burning for the 7 days
Lighter or Matches

So you will need to set up your jar candle in a safe place where it can remain burning.
Add the Lavender buds to the sachet as well as the spring of Rue. Tie the bag closed and hold it in the palm of your hands.
Take a moment and center and ground yourself, visualize the transforming powers of the Lavender and protective Rue swirling together out into the world to do its job!
Know that you can turn whatever negative energy you are facing into a very positive situation, and when you feel ready repeat this spell 3 times

" Rue and Lavender make a wonderful pair, as they bring protection and help clear the air, now transform this situation, and spin it away, bring good luck and positive change to all of my days"

Set the sachet aside and light the seven day candle and repeat.

"With power of herbs, this spell is begun, by the light of this candle, this spell is pun, I safely transform and change all negativity, for the good of all, as I will it, so mote it be!"

Allow the candle to burn in a safe place until it goes out on its own. Keep the sachet with you for the next 7 days or as long as it takes the candle to burn out and each night that the candle burns repeat. 

"Another day has passed, change is coming my way, now good luck, protection, and peace, come home to stay"

Once the candle has burned out return the herbs to nature, toss the candle jar, and wash your hands. Take a deep breath and go out side and face the Sun, tip your face up to the light. Take a moment to congratulate yourself on a job well done and close the ritual with this

"By the power of herbs, this magic was spun, I close this now in peace, bring harm to none!"

Well viewers add it to you book of shadows and try it out! Don't forget to comment and let me know how it went!!!
Happy Casting!!!!
Blessed Be!!

Problems with your teeth, No money to fix them, Oragel isn't enough?

Hi, Zuke I did tell everyone who had question that all they had to do is ask and I would do my best to try to give some advice on what to use and how to use it effectively to help with things just like this!

Ok now that you have some information on what I'm suggesting and your more than welcome to look this up if your not quite sure, I will not be offended, ok now the reason I suggested the Valerian is because it works great for pain and if your having problems with your teeth depending on wheather or not your tooth is really bad or just annoying (like if your tooth is broken and the nerve is exposed this would be helpful) Next I will offer you the instructions on how to use these ok.

Myrrh: You will need a mortar and pedestal or a grinder of some kind because this usually comes in resin form and it needs to be a fine powder to be used right.  What you will need to do is take a small resin ball from the bag you bought from the herb store (about a teaspoon grinded)  and grind this up and then pour it into an 8 ounce cup, boil water about a 1/4 cup. When boiling add the water to the grinded Myrrh and stir well for about 2 minutes, take in small mouth fulls and gargle for 30 seconds and spit the wash out and repeat until your 1/4 glass is gone. This can also be repeted several times a day but i would not go over 8 times in one day. The gargle will help to pull any infection you may or may not have in your tooth as well as help with tempery pain.

Fragrant Valerian: USE ONLY FRESH ROOT STOCK!!  This can be taken two ways in a tea. You may make an infusion by Steeping (soaking rootstock in boiled water immediately after its removed from heat, covered for about 10 minutes, strain) 1 tsp of rootstock in 1 pint of boiling water, TAKE COLD! 1 CUP over the course of the day or when your going to bed.
The other way you can use this is by COLD EXTRACT, to do this you would use 2tsp rootstock in one cup of water and let it stand for 24 HOURS  then strain the root out of the extract and take 1/2 cup to 1 cup when going to bed. I would recommend that if you decide to use this rout then you should take it when going to bed due to the drowsy effects of this herb. I have used this before and form my experiences this is highly effective and reduces pain in less than an hour and keeps pain a bay for quite some time even with only one use, the side effect is sleepiness and will probably creep up on you in about 30 minutes or less so don't take it and drive ok!

Well zuke I hope this information was helpful and if you do use this let me know how it helped you ok. To any one elts that has question ask away  I'm here to help!!

Then light your candles, take time to focus on what you need, and write it on the paper. Draw the symbol for Mars on the top of the paper, fold it and carefully drip a bit of melting wax on the paper to seal it. Then tuck the sealed slip of paper under one of the 3 candles that you have on your large plate and repeat this verse.

" A trio of scarlet candles burning so bright. Brings radiance and comfort on the darkest of nights. The sacred Holly protects, guards, and defends, all worries and troubles now come to an end. by the power of three times three, as I will it then so shall it be"

Let the candles burn out completely and once they have take your slip of paper place it in your cauldron or Terra-Cotta saucer and take it out side. Once outside burn the paper and wait a few minutes after it has been consumed, then scatter the ashes into the wind.

Happy Casting!!

When do I cast my spells?

I ran in to this problem when I first started to experiment with different spells, Some went funny some didn't even work!!! That is the most frustrating, I spent some time doing some looking into what I was doing wrong and found that with every spell you have a time, day, or moon phase that must be followed in order to achieve maximum result. So for all of you that are having a problem or are completely new, I am including some do's and don'ts to help you aline your spells to get what you want out of them!

Moon Phases

Waxing- (moon looks as though its getting bigger) Brings things toward you, so spells for good health and prosperity would be good when the moon is getting larger.

Waning-(the moon looks like its srinking) Pushes things away from you, for instance negitivity.

New Moon-(begins the last day of the dark moon) Is great for new beginings, birth, growth, or maybe a fresh start.

Full Moon-(compleatly round and usaly diffrent in color) feeds any spell with extra power or for specific spells that call for the moon to be full.

Dark Moon-(the moon is not visable to you) Use causion and will require planning and some wisdom, but with good judgement you can use it to remove ghost,protect your property,and stalkers.

Now that you have that, I can break it down it into days of the week so you can aline what your trying to achive.

Sunday- (planet is the Sun) You can cast for sucess,realizing goals, confidence, wealth,and fame

Monday- (planet is the Moon) You can cast for Goddess magic, womens mysteries,emotions,instincts, and intuition.

Tuesday- (planet is Mars) You can cast for Problem solving, courage, passion, and vitality.

Wednesday- (planet is Mercury) You can cast for communication,cleverness,creativity, and to improve your luck.

Thursday- (planet is Jupiter) You can cast for prosperity, expansion, moving up, healing, and health.

Friday- (planet is Venus) You can cast for love, luxury, pleasure, and entertainment.

Saterday- (planet is Saturn) You can cast for protection, banishings, and bindings.

That covers the phases and the days of the week for casting, so when you want to bring things toward you like love or money you would do that on the day and moon pase that would net you what you desire!

REMEMBER!!!!

What your intentions are, is positive and does it consider peoples free will. Just remember the rules of magic. HARM NONE and what you put out will come back to you 3 full.

I really hope this helps for the new commers or the fustrated looking for help. I also ran accross a very usefull tool to make following the moon easy! Check it out!!

Happy Casting!!!

The doctor didn't tell me this!!!!

I'm not sure how many people out there know about magic, herbs, and spells or how to use them effectively. I started this blog in hopes that I may be able to help some people along the way. I don't know about you but I'm not fond of the way doctors are handing out drugs left and right, even if they don't know what you have! I had a doctor one time write me a script for an antibiotic for a "kidney infection" without knowing if the drug would actually kill that infection, don't you know that the hospital called me after I payed for the script just to tell me that the script they wrote me wouldn't be affective in killing it!!!!! Hello give me my money back!! So I find that its cheaper and more effective to use what nature gave us! I have found hundreds of ways to avoid the doctor! Now I'm not here to tell you to stop going to the doctor because they are useful in other ways, but for things like colds and pain and your common things you would rather not pay someone to tell you that you have because you already know you have them, that's where nature can be your best friend!!!
For instance, the common cold, you can make a tea with Elder Berries, Peppermint, Mullein, and Golden seal and drink a cup or two a day for just a couple of days and knock your cold out faster than any over the counter cold remedy. Who would have thought, right?
