Luck Spell

Step 1: Write the Spell
This should be done by hand, so that your personal energy is used. Write down what it is you want. Request that good things happen in your life, and that positivity surround you. If you have a specific thing in mind, such as a court date, a test, or a competition, ask that the best things happen to you on the occasion. Respectfully call upon the planet Jupiter to aid you in achieving your goal. When you are done, add "This spell is for the good of all, may it harm none." Then write, "As my will, so mote it be."

Step 2: Get Proper Materials
Your spell will be helped by:
A white candle
A good luck anointing oil (try a metaphysical store near you, or the internet) Allspice incense, or other good luck incense
Tourmaline, soil or sand
A chalice or wine glass, with water inside
Anything that symbolizes luck to you

Step 3: Cast the Spell
Do it on a Thursday, in the hour of Jupiter (look at an online planetary hour calculator)
Find a quiet spot, preferably outdoors, with a stable surface
Set up your materials
Focusing your energy on what you wish to attain, rub your candle with the oil
Light the candle and the incense
Read your spell three times, channeling your energy and visualizing good luck happening to you
Place the spell under the candle until it burns all the way down

Step 4: Maintain a Positive Mindset
Because the success of your spell is highly contingent on your own confidence in your abilities, it is important to keep up a positive state of mind. After all, it is your positive energy that will make the spell work. Even if things get tough or seem hopeless, tell yourself that good things will happen, and believe it. Doing this will make your good luck spell far more effective.

*****Since Jupiter is going to be VERY close this week, it would be the perfect time to do this spell!

Holy water, also called Moon Water - A Magickal Moon Tool

How to make & use it:  

You make *Moon water* or *Holy water*, but catching rain water, or using spring water (or, if desperate, any water). Place it in a white or silver bowl (I have heard of someone who used a clear glass bowl with a mirror under it) then you can say a chant,and/ or infuse it with intent first, then leave it where it can absorb the Full Moon light.   Now you can wait and get it in the morning, or bring it in when the moon sets for the night.  

After you bring it in, you should put it in seal-able bottles labeled and dated, if you can, make more at each full moon, but if the weather does not permit it is fine to keep it and use it until you can make more.  It really has no expiration date, but it makes sure you never run out!  

You can also place some for specific purposes in separate bottles, which you add herbs or stones to, which add to the energies already in the water for your purposes.   Some people add lunar herbs to simply enhance the lunar properties of the water.  

The original holy water I was taught had rose EO, or rose petals added to it, as the rose is one of the scents and flowers seen and smelt when the Goddess has made an appearance.  

Some people use the holy or moon water to spiritually cleanse ritual tools, their homes, or even in exorcisms.  


Do you make Holy/Moon water? If so, how do you use it?  Do you add anything to it?

Masculine in the Divine Feminine?

I read this article today: 

http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Additional-Resources/Aint-Your-Goddess.html

And it got me to thinking of how I felt when I discovered the Goddess {was with me and waiting for me to discover her for YEARS lol}.  I felt total acceptance of myself, all parts of myself, especially those I had buried as evil most of my life, such as my sexuality, strength, intelligence, worthiness!  It was as if a light I had kept turned off inside me suddenly burst forth in light so bright, no corner of my existence was left in the dark! 

In this well written article, the woman says she was drawn to only masculine Gods, because they made no demands on who and what she wasas a woman. She didn't have to be like the other women but could draw on the traits of Cerrunnos, Hephaestus, etc...  But I think it speaks of how poorly we as Pagans teach about ALL of our Goddesses, and ALL sides of them!   

Athena was a creative engineer, designing mechanical things for Hephaestus to make, an extremely talented battle strategist and more.  Then don't forget our huntresses!!!  Artemis, Dianna who hunt under the light of the moon, yet are also protectesses of the wild.  These are just off of the top of my head quickly, I am sure there are more, ah, let us not forget Kali Ma!  The Great Destroyer who gives birth to Creation!   

There are sects of Pagan women who follow these Goddesses, who set themselves apart and learn arts of warfare, not baking!  They don't worry over much about their looks, they concentrate on their inner and outer power.  

I think too much emphasis is still placed on looking sexually appealing rather than being appealing for our whole selves.  I don't believe we will be as valued by a partner who comes to us simply because we have shining hair and big bosoms or a good push up bra.  

We as Daughters of the Goddess, Witches, need to remember that one of the first things we are to do, is inner workings, not spells, not fancy rituals, but looking honestly at who and what we are.  When we do these deepest of workings, we need to look at ourselves with love, accepting and tolerance, yet with the attitude that we can and will change things that need changing!  Then also be truly accepting of facets of ourselves that our culture may not value, but help make us the unique individual we are.  

We need to realize that much of how we were raised to be in the American culture is based on the Judeo-Christian culture where women are subjugated by men, have to bow to his will over ours, and are expected to please him visually and all other ways, have his kids, clean his house and not think for ourselves.  

Gratefully our nation has been moving away from this, but it has a stronghold yet, not openly by all, but openly by a growing number in the "religious right" political and religious wing.  

So embrace your strength!  Are you a female carpenter, police officer, fire-person, scientist, engineer, etc?  

WONDERFUL! For you too are Goddess embodied!!! 

Goddess Hecate, from my eyes and heart

Her face is ageless full of beauty and wisdom, her hair is silver shining with the light of the moon, she wears the black cloak of night, yet even this sparkles with the lights of millions of stars, and it isn't cold, but warm, warm with her power and love and protection for those with whom she claims as her own and she spreads her cloak protectively over them.

Wheel Turning to Fall

With dragging heals I accept and acknowledge the wheel turning to Autumn...   I accept the cooler temps that tell my tomatoes their time is done, I accept that the flowers in bloom now are the mums which I place in a vain attempt to give lie to the illusion of a longer growing season.

I accept and revel in the thinning of the veil!  I know that I will be able to see the unseeable better, such as my cat Napthali, who died about fifteen years ago, yet is with me still.  In the thinning I can feel his presence and love greater.  Why he lingers I do not know, I have told him he doesn't have too, yet he stays and makes me smile....

I love he harvest, I thank the Goddess for the wondrous foods she gives us to enjoy, foods which contain medicines to heal or keep healthy our bodies.  Eggplant, zucchini, my three sisters greens (collards, turnips and mustards cooked with onion, smoked ham or bacon until tender) full of things that make our bodies strong to withstand the coming long, cold winter! 

I make my daily tonics out of chicken broth, with large amounts of turmeric, cayenne, garlic, and slightly lesser amounts of thyme and rosemary, sure to keep my blood moving and keep the winter chill from my toes!  

I have brought out my scraps of Fall fabrics, to create some accents of fall colors throughout my home, hung my *A Happy Witch lives here, with her little monsters* on my door, placed my flag with a ghostly tree and a Witch flying her broom in front of the moon that says *BOO* down the side in the yard near my walk... placed a stack of mini pumpkins in my front window. 

Ah, and last night, I greeted the new crescent fall moon as she peaked over the tops of the houses on a crisp cool night, shining so brightly she made me smile and helped me accept the loss of this growing season, another will come, and yet another, for all things come to pass in their time. 

Blessed and happy wheel turning to you all!
