Sabbe tasanti daṇḍassa.
Sabbesaṃ jīvitaṃ piyaṃ.
Attānaṃ upamaṃ katvā;
na haneyya na ghātaye.
All tremble at punishment.
Life is dear to all.
Put yourself in the place of others;
kill none nor have another killed.

There is a sense of staying put taking place today. It is not about not budging, even though we are into some cards which seem to want us to just that. I believe it is more about taking a conservative approach as we near the New Moon in Capricorn which is three days from now.
We have spoken of progress and recovery for many of you, and this card can definitely be an indicator of finally having a little extra funds to hold onto for a rainy day. However, it is also representative of holding on too dearly to things which may have outlived their usefulness. My feeling today, is that for the majority of you, there is this steady conservative mode which you are in, putting all of your ducks in a row, in a very methodical way, thus the conservative vibe which this card is giving off. It…

Many of us, along with Marija Gimbutas, believed her work would eventually be vindicated. We ARE the cognitive minority, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to many ideals of the Sacred Feminine, including the work of scholar, Marija Gimbutas. Tune in tonight as I discuss this wonderful and long awaited development with elders and scholars, Carol Christ and Miriam Robbins Dexter. In the words of Carol, ‘The disdain with which the work of archaeologist Marija Gimbutas has been held in the field of classics and archaeology was shown to me when I started quietly at a cocktail party at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens that I was interested in her work. This comment, tentatively offerred, onleashed a tirade from a young female archaeologist who began shouting at me:…

Recovery mode has been activated, and progress is being made to keep those hard times permanently in your rearview mirror. There is a sense of gearing up here; something huge is on the horizon.

It’s 1:11 in a #11 MASTER NUMBER YEAR!
1:11 Master Number Meaning and Meditation
Seeing 11:11 on clocks signs addresses and more repeatedly is a worldwide phenomenon which according to many sites on the net means its a sign to make a wish. A very nice sentiment but really not all about what the true meaning of the double Master number is.
11 is a MASTER Number. Here we are in a #11 year. To see 11:11 has only made possible since LED display digital clocks became popular in the 1980’s. We began to see time in a new and different way instead of circular, sun-wise nature-based observations. Numbers are symbols. The Kabbalah is based on numbers as vibrations called Gematria. The ancient Greek mathematicians like Pythagoras taught that numbers are the essence and source of all things.
The 11:11 phenomenon is a metaphorical digital trigger code. All doubled numbers…

Today, Mercury, which has now totally cleared its first full retrograde of 2018, moves on into the sign of Capricorn, and that means it is time to get down to business. Typically, the 10 of Wands can be seen as burdens in your life which are weighing you down, but, today is a much different day.
You are more than ready now, prepared to take on any load, any amount of responsibilities to achieve your goals. It is possible that today, you may even feel as though you are finally moving closer to a goal, allowing you to achieve a milestone along your way.

“The silicon-based integrated circuit (IC) transistor count ballooned from ten transistors on a chip to hundreds of transistors on a chip within a few short years. After a while, there were thousands, then tens of thousands, and now we have, tens of billions.”
Kāmaṃ kāmayamānassa,
tassa ce taṃ samijjhati, addhā pītimano hoti.
Laddhā macco yadicchati.
Tassa ce — kāmayānassa, chandajātassa — jantuno

If one, longing for sensual pleasure,
achieves it, yes, one’s enraptured at heart.
The mortal gets what one wants.
But if for that person — longing, desiring —
the pleasures diminish,
one’s shattered, as if shot with an arrow.

I’ve been experimenting with different recipes for homemade natural body products, and I’ve concocted a body butter recipe that I’m especially proud of. I gave away jars of it to friends and family, and within weeks, they were returning the jars and asking for more! It smells wonderful, has a lovely whipped texture similar to whipped butter, and it works especially well on very dry or irritated skin. Perfect for this time of year!
There are only five ingredients in this butter, all of them healing and known to be highly beneficial to the skin. I’ve spent a lot of money buying a lot of products over the years, and I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite body lotions ever…and it contains nothing harmful or synthetic.
I made my most recent batch with my finally-ready calendula oils and I’m loving it even more! (Read about the…

You have read the spell, gathered all the ingredients, even memorised the words and the steps. You have watched for the proper time and day, even paid attention to the Planets positions. You have put everything on the spell, really everything, but! It hasn’t worked…No signs, no results, no…nothing! Why has this happened? Is it the spell or you? Have you done something wrong? Let’s take things from the beginning and see some truths…
First of all, magick works every time! It really does! There are points that can make it work more slowly than expected, things that can put boundaries, but it is sure to work every time! There are some questions you have to consider when a spell doesn’t work…

We chose to start off 2018 with our January WWW making magickal ink. Why magickal ink? Well, there are many uses for this lovely tool of communication! Among those uses might be to mark your magickal tools, to write spells and petitions, to draw sigils, and, of course, to record information in your Book of Shadows.
We were really only able to scratch the surface on this wondrous topic, and although there are many types of magickal ink, we decided to make 3 kinds in our workshop: invisible ink, lampblack ink and dragon’s blood ink.
Sometimes a witch might want to write a secret message that would remain invisible until revealed at the chosen time. Citrus juice and milk are two different common liquids that can serve in this way. We used lemon juice. With a quill pen or paint brush all we needed to do was to write our…
