The New Moon
New Moon:
The night of the dark moon represents a time to cast spells that will reveal secrets, a time to cast spells that will perpetuate beginnings. The time of the dark moon is also excellent for divination. Although some witches view this phase of the moon as a time to refrain from magic, the gray witch knows that now is the time to step into the shadows and grab the powerful energy found there.

Mercury Retrograde in Virgo August 12 – September 5: Mindfully Evolving
On August 12, Mercury will station retrograde in 11° of Virgo and begin its journey backwards to 28° of Leo. With Mercury about to station retrograde, many of us are already feeling a bit of the retro-funk; fuzzy brained, slow motion reality, indecisiveness and a general feeling of discontentment with life. However, because this retrograde happens to take place in between eclipses – a period of time where life typically feels fast paced, urges us to move forward, and make big changes – this retro-funk may display itself a bit differently than usual.
For more on the eclipses, check out:

While most of the time it is not really advisable to pursue new endeavors or develop new routines when Mercury is retrograde, the eclipses help to guide our intentions and ability to manifest…

Daily Words of the Buddha for August 13, 2017
Karaṇīyamatthakusalena
yanta santaṃ padaṃ abhisamecca:
Sakko ujū ca suhujū ca,
sūvaco cassa mudu anatimānī,
santussako ca subharo ca,
appakicco ca sallahukavutti,
santindriyo ca nipako ca,
appagabbho kulesvananugiddho.
Na ca khuddamācare kiñci
yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṃ.
This is to be done by one skilled in aims
who wants to break through to the state of peace:
Be capable, upright, & straightforward,
easy to instruct, gentle, & not conceited,
content & easy to support,
with few duties, living lightly,
with peaceful faculties, masterful,
modest, & no greed for supporters.
Do not do the slightest thing
that the wise would later censure.
Sutta Nipāta 1.143, 1.144, 1.145
Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Tarot Contemplation – Queen of Cups
Your energy is akin to a mature, sensitive, romantic person. You are an empathetic and kind listener, and help others to understand their own emotions. You are connected to your higher self and receptive to messages from your dreams. Pay close attention to your feelings and intuition, and listen to your heart. You are nurturing and loving as you give of yourself to others. You may require solitude in order to rejuvenate yourself, and being near water will heal, restore and inspire you. Indulge your artistic side in a DIY project.

Udakañhi nayanti nettikā,

Carpenters bend the wood,

Tarot Contemplation – Six of Pentacles
This card is about giving and receiving and the balance between them. It could be indicating that you show gratitude for what you have received by giving to charity or helping another with resources. Pay it back. It could be that if you have been giving of yourself you will see your effort returned. Don’t be too proud to accept help from those that have more. What goes around comes around. Pay attention to how you use your energy and resources. If you feel resentful or exhausted, look for ways to give in a more balanced manner. If you are not getting what you expect in a situation, look at what you are giving. Regarding relationships, pay attention to how you give and take with that person. Is your relationship fair, or is one person doing most of the taking and little of the giving? Even if we have very little in a material sense, there is always some way we can give.

Melchizedek Consciousness: YOUR HIGHER SELF WANTS YOU HEALED, SO LISTEN
What is the feeling you are feeling. Find the deep rooted question, to receive the deep rooted answer. You have just one feeling to heal, but its clouded with many words. How great would it feel to be healed. The soul wants you to go back to being a child, here is where your pain has been sitting, this is why the souls journey is a backward journey. Once you go back and heal, you can then start to walk forwards.
Paradigm Shift: The Lie We Live! Everybody Should Watch This Video. I’m Speechless. Spread It!
Freedom is a major award for which humankind has struggled throughout its existence. The power of decision is a fable that is currently possessed only by people; its a free course will that gives us the ability to guide our future.
We are currently demoralized by the economic giants of colossal industries that control nonrenewable resources of our planet, a way to keep us controlled, grounded and manipulated under the nefarious capitalist markets.

Māvamaññetha puññassa, “Na mantaṃ āgamissati.”
Udabindunipātena udakumbhopi pūrati.
Dhīro pūrati puññassa, thokaṃ thokampi ācinaṃ.
Think not lightly of good, saying, “It will not come to me.”
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the wise one, gathering it little by little,
fills oneself with good.

Tarot Contemplation – Seven of Pentacles (reversed)
It may be that you are ready to give up on something you’ve been working on for a while because you are not getting the results you hoped for. Instead of turning your back on this thing you’ve invested so much into, look for the lessons in your errors. Though you may be disappointed, it is likely that you’ve learned many things that will contribute to your future success. Perhaps you have failed to learn from past errors and are repeating the same mistakes again. Pay more attention to the results of your efforts so that you can learn and get better at this task.

Linguistics: Swearing is actually a sign of more intelligence – not less – say scientists – ScienceAlert
You’re damn right.
The use of obscene or taboo language – or swearing, as it’s more commonly known – is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence.
Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language….

What Is An Aura Crystal?
Aura Crystals are natural gems, usually quartz, which are heated in a vacuum. Real gold vapour is added to the vacuum and gold atoms fuse to the quartz, giving it an iridescent sheen. Although they are “man-altered” they are also natural as they are natural crystals, modified using natural materials. Other metals can also be added to the vacuum chamber, such as silver, titanium and copper.
Why Wear An Aura Crystal?
Aside from their beauty, Aura Crystals are worn for their beneficial properties. Aura quartz crystals are known as the’ master healer’ they amplify energy and thought and enhance other crystals if worn together.
Aura Crystals draw off negative energy, neutralising background radiation. They balance and revitalise, cleanse and enhance and can…

Greetings and Happy Thursday. “Do Not Disturb the Water That is Tranquil.” When you find yourself not enjoying the peace and quiet of a supposed relaxing day, remind yourself not to interrupt your own peaceful thoughts.

Han Purple: A 2,800-year-old artificial pigment that quantum physicists are trying to understand | Ancient Origins
Han purple is an artificial #pigment created by the Chinese over 2,500 years ago. It is a technological wonder, made through a complex process of grinding up raw materials in precise proportions and heating to incredible temperatures. So intricate was the process, that it was not reconstructed again until 1992. But this was just the beginning. Research since then has discovered amazing properties of #Han purple, including the ability to emit powerful rays of light in the near-infrared range, as well as being able to collapse three dimensions down to two under the right conditions….
