According to the Witches Almanac,


Today the almanac says,
Celebrate Ganesh Festival
This is what the almanac says:
August – September *, Ganesh Festival

Chaturthi
Known as the remover of obstacles, the beloved elephant-headed god, son of Shiva and Parvati, is the supreme deity of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. His bulging belly is said to contain the essence of the cosmos. Ganesh is honored at Chaturthi for ten days featuring feasts, dancing, singing, poetry and dramas, finishing with a huge public festival on the eleventh day. Rites center around icons of all kinds, from 3/4-inchclay images to those over 25 feet tall for procession floats. Red is the prevailing color and in temples priests clad in red silk invokes blessings from the garlanded idol, followed by the “sixteen ways of paying tribute.” At the mega-event Ganesh is carried through the streets to river or sea. The immersion of the god symbolizes the washing away of misfortunes. A variety of community benefits also are traditionally offered– free medical checkups, blood donations, charity. To honor the occasion at home, set up a puja table with a Ganesh image of any kind. Decorate it with red flowers, sandalwood paste, camphor, coconut sweets or what you will. Meditate on the deity and invoke his aid for spiritual strength in your undertakings. You may conclude with the traditional appeal, “O Father Ganesh, come again early next year.”
* Date changes with lunar month.

So if Ganesh has been a part of your life do some kind of thankful worship to him; for he will continue to bring you the ability to overcome all that life throws your way.

Remember it is not the time you put into the ritual it is the intention you put behind the blessing! So if you worship of one minute or 10 hours put all your positive energy into it; this will ensure great spell work and highest best results.
Blessed be…

Am I a Dark Worker?

Image
What is a Dark worker? A dark worker is the same as a light worker, with a few exception listed below. We work to balance the darkness. In the forces of dark and light, you can’t have one without the other. It is the yin (female) and yang (masculine) of complete balance just like the Tao symbol. ☯ Within the symbol there is a dot of the other half to create balance. Each one of us needs the other, with all light there is no dark and therefore balance cannot be achieved. We are here to assist the dark side of the planet; this does not mean we are in a negative state. It means each soul has a strong polarization towards one or the other. It does not mean we are going to influence you to do bad / evil things, which are your conscious choice. You create your own actions. You may chose to not take responsibility for your own thoughts and feelings, projecting your actions on the healer your working with but the fact remains .It is your actions. Light and dark workers are...

What is a Symbiotic Psychic Vampire?

Image
Symbiotic/Symbiosis; defined as a relationship between two of anything, one drawing off the other. The draw can be positive or negative depending on what the connection is about but usually it is mutual benefit. What is a symbiotic psychic vampire? A symbiotic vampire is a form of psychic vampire with the characteristic of surviving on the draining of only negative energy . So instead of feeding off of the life force physical and mental energies, symbiotic vampires feed off of the spiritual energies and electro-bio-chemical energy found in a person's aura. In my opinion It requires the symbiotic psychic vampire to be humble and empathic to be effective in their own energy levels. One must have morals and ethics, understanding how you as the symbiotic psychic vampire affect everyone around you. The path of a symbiotic vampire is not easy but can be managed with introspective self work. We drain negative energy with intent and do not usually wish to har...

Snow Magic and Spell Properties.

Image
          I love the first snow of the year. Luckily I live in the Pacific Northwest and we only get snow for small amounts of time. This makes it have a more powerful quality, in my opinion.  Nevertheless every year, I collect a few jars of snow, if we get snow... and use the snow water in spells throughout the year.  Snow has amazing magical properties so much so that it requires great respect. Water can take many forms; such as, liquid, gas and solid.  This makes it very versatile to work with  and no other element has that ability.  When collecting snow make sure your jar is clean and that your thoughts are neutral. Water does maintain it's ability to support life and that can cause bacteria to grow. So if your going to be ingesting it in any form, it is best used sooner than later.       It has been proven that water can hold messages for extended periods of time. They have done studies of water t...
