Jupiter is todays planetary reference. The King of the Gods can delegate tasks to other deities. Go for what you need today, and don't limit yourself. Go big. Go bigger. Go for all that you need. Expand your imagination, and reach high. SMIB.

There are so many things going on here it will take hours for me to figure it all out. "The Parabiago patera is an ancient Roman circular silver plate depicting Cybele with her consort Attis in a vast cosmic setting amid sun, moon, earth and sea, time and the seasons."

Throwback Thursday. Any witchy imagery that is older than the internet you can share? Please post it. I will clean out my "saved" file some today. Not super picky on the witchy part.

No full moon work for me

I tried using Moringa in my smoothie this afternoon and YIKES that was a mistake. So my full moon plans are now canceled. If you could, please send some healing my way on this lovely full moon evening. My, err, “moon” would really appreciate it.

Merry moon to all!

Merry full moon- Astro update + healing ❤️‍🩹

Merry Scorpionic Full Moon 🌕 Energy update ahead:

Wow what a moon. This has hands down been the most intense month and even most intense week of this year, for me personally. I have seen many people treading the water of this moon. Let's look at it together.

Look at that stellium in Aries 👀. Look at Mercury retrograde CONJUNCT that north node only a few painful degrees away from our innermost wounding, Chiron. Mercury whispering sweet nothings in your ear that actually turn out to be EVERYTHING we need to reexamine and reevaluate.

It’s been a big week. Let's take this time during the full moon to lift our arms in celebration of making it this far. Each step we have taken, forward or backward, has been a step that we took- and that is something to be proud of.

A scorpio full moon is a watery way forward. Wade in with me and look around at what has floated to the top for you to examine.

This full moon falls at 4 degrees of Scorpio. This is a wonderful time to check and see if you have any planets, luminaries, angels, or house cusps at 3-5 degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius). If you do, this moon could feel EXTRA for you. Feeling extra during a time of extra can be, well EXTRA AF.

This full moon in a T square (a great challenge that creates a catalyst for change) with the Sun and PLUTO. While others have shared that this week's Jupiter Uranus Conjunction is the biggest thing happening this year, I disagree and point us back to Pluto.

Pluto left Capricorn in January and went into Aquarius, bringing everyone’s relationship with their power to the forefront of our minds. Now Pluto is in retrograde and will make his last contact with Capricorn soon. There is no way to really sugar coat this. When Pluto makes its next contact with the anaretic degree (29th degree) of Capricorn, there is no-one in this dimension that will not feel the weight of the proverbial boot on our necks.

That’s why this full moon is an important time to acknowledge what floats up for you. Awareness and acknowledgment are two powerful tools in your toolbox.

The Sabian Symbol for 4 Degrees of Scorpio is a child holding up a candle.

I'm going to take us on a little visualization now. Take a couple deep breaths and become the tree, become grounded. Let your roots run deep into the Earth, releasing what you do not need and holding you, strong to Gaia.

Now journey with me into your heart space. We are on a mission to recover something very important. Like recon specialists or Marines on a mission, we search out your heart until we find it.

That locked door.

Check your pockets, you have the key. If you do not, I present you now with a skeleton key to open all closed doors that you encounter in this life.

Put the key in the hole and open this long locked door.

Inside there is a glow coming from a candle. You begin to approach the soft candle glow and see that the person holding the candle is your own inner child.

Holding illumination and healing, your inner child has been waiting for you. You fall to your knees to embrace this child that is YOU. You bring the child out of this locked room and you begin to heal all the things that have happened since that door closed so long ago.

This child can now run free and play, unobstructed. Allow yourself to play with them. This child can now begin to heal along with you as you pay attention to that part of your heart.

You make a pact to never lock away any part of yourself again.

You are free, you only have to choose to be.

A POEM FROM WHEN I WAS 15 but found that room in my heart:

Inside are all the tears that are waiting to be cried Inside are all the memories of every time someone lied Inside is all the sorrow and all the bitter loneliness Inside is where she goes when she wants to reminisce

This is a place that she can go when she wants to get away She can lock all the doors and hide inside all day

And on these walls are paintings, Colored memories Scenes of her past traumas that refuse to set her free

Inside is where she can replay Everything and how it went wrong It is a place she makes a plan to heal but the journey there is long

Inside is where she casts her spells and wishes on star light Inside is where she dreams and screams and prays to God each night

It is a precious place Where she goes to remember when Her inner child was suffering And how it felt back then

This is a sacred place she goes When life starts to fall apart This room isn’t just any room This room is her heart

The secret to this room my friend Does not lie in the key The secret to your heart is You must believe that you are free

Love to you all, Ash

Mercury is todays planetary reference. Retrograde is over, as Mercury is stationary today, and starts in going direct tomorrow. So, time to finish up all of those old messages that finally showed up, and prepare to get your words delivered more easily soon.

Mercury Direct, 25 Apr 2024 approx 13:00 UTC

Speaking of the Wednesday Wishes and Mercury, Mercury goes direct on Thursday! Finally coming out of retrograde.

For those of you who know the Sabian Symbols (I prefer Chandra Symbols personally but sometimes use Sabian), a wise teacher of mine pointed out that the symbol for 16 Aries, where Mercury goes direct, is particularly hopeful. That it comes at a time when we are tired and in need of help, to call on any assistance that we can, and that surprisingly help will come, whether from this plane or another, offering guidance and protection.

I feel this is super appropriate and connected to the Wednesday Wishes, ruled by Mercury, who's listening to our pleas for help, going direct, hopefully bringing the help, guidance and protection that so many of us in the Wishes post need. SMIB.

World of Witchcraft. One Earth. Think about how you can use the craft to make this a healthy and happy world. Consider what you can do for the Earth. It needs our help. Maybe do a working to affect those that are doing the most harm and have them change their practices. BB.

Wednesday Wishes. Please place a wish that you want to be delivered, and who you want it to go out to. This is for smaller stuff than the big Sunday Spell. This will run each Wednesday.

This is done on Wednesday so that Mercury can assist in getting your message delivered. The goal for this is to reduce the load on The Sunday Spell. Please try to put minor wishes here, and save the big stuff for the every 2 weeks Spell on Sundays. And then, don't put minor requests in Sundays working. Be sure to mention who/what you want your message delivered to. Mercury needs an address for where to go with it. Thank you!

Interesting draw for the day 😂

This is the Psychic Tarot; the equivalents are Death, the Tower, and Ace of Swords. I've been seeing the Death and Tower card a lot lately. Whether it's internal (mindset and Law of Attraction work) or external (will I stay in my present place or not, and would that be best or not). I'm also supposed to go get an EKG today, some labs were a smidge off last time.

So should I play the lottery or stay under the bed today?!? I'm really liking that Triumphant Success card 😊

Do you think donor cadaver tissue can influence the recipient?

Hello! I am 63 (I am too young to be this old!), and new to this community, but so glad I found it! I practice The Craft and am delighted to connect with other older witches.

So, in 2019 I had major spine surgery, and the titanium implants were spackled with cadaver bone to give my own tissue a scaffold to grow on. The donated tissue was irradiated to destroy the DNA. But - do you think that the donor tissue can influence the recipient?

I joke with my 6th graders and call myself a zombie - and show them the x rays of my spine after surgery!

What do you think?

Support

I apologize in advance if this is not allowed, and completely understand if it is removed.

To all my fellow witches, I am terrified to go to work tomorrow. I have been doing all I can to stay in a sphere of protection (it’s an extremely toxic place) but at 7pm tonight my principal (I’m a teacher) texted saying he wants to meet with me. I have missed many days due to PTSD and the trauma of the school, and I know it’s about that. But I am sitting here sobbing at the thought of going in tomorrow. I am asking for all of your support in this, because I have no strength left.

I have written a small spell to get me through, and I would immensely appreciate if anyone could share in casting this with me.

May the fire and the wind and the earth and the sea Carry peace and protection for my soul to be free From toxicity and anger, anguish and strife And may I stay safety held in the elements light. I call on ( ) to stifle the backstabbing lies And to protect me from malice that tries to give fright. As above, so below, and again 3x3 May this spell bind these wishes So mote it be.

Does energy stay in hair

So I’m wondering if I wear human hair wigs or extensions if the energy of the person whose hair it is stays on the wig even after washing?

When I do spells and I cut my hair then I’m assuming my energy will still stay to taglock.

Saturn is todays planetary reference. You gotta love a planet that comes with its own hexagram. Time for me to do my weekly planting of seed spells. Got quite a productive crop already from the ones I did earlier this spring.
