Horoscopes week of Aug 28

 zodiac sign symbols


Aries Weekly Horoscope

This is a week not to ignore your body’s needs and rhythms. It’s a week not to treat your fatigue like an enemy to defeat, but like a message worth listening to. The world can make it difficult, even impossible, to rest when you need to — but you should still try to stop pushing yourself so hard, to stop muscling your way through exhaustion and pain. There’s something to be said for doing what feels most natural: slowing down when your feet start to drag, and then rising up, loud and bold again, once you’re ready.

Taurus Weekly Horoscope

When the people around you are experiencing such massive amounts of worry and fear and pain, it can start to feel like there’s no room left for your own emotions to fit in. It can start to feel as though your sorrow is less significant, or as though your pain doesn’t exist unless you can prove it. This week, remind yourself that you don’t have to earn your emotions. You deserve to feel, because your feelings just are: as real as your body, as real as the ground under your feet.

Gemini Weekly Horoscope

This week, it might feel like other people are projecting onto you, ascribing to you feelings or motives or ideas that just aren’t yours. Even when it isn’t hostile, it can be frustrating and lonely to deal with the weight of so many false readings and untrue assumptions. One way to combat this is to address every misconception, to continually reassert yourself, but this can be exhausting, too. So this week, don’t imagine that it’s your job to make sure everyone else sees you clearly. It’s okay to let other people be wrong, as long as you know the truth.

Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Sometimes, understandably, it can be tempting to take no risks at all — to tread only the ground you’ve walked on before, to ask only the questions whose answers you already know, to keep your dreams small and attainable. But this is a week to give up on the idea of certainty, to accept that there’s no way to live without risk right now. When danger is unavoidable, there’s no reason not to move with curiosity, no reason not to dream with abandon, no reason not to move out past the edges of what you know.

Leo Weekly Horoscope

If your pessimism has been getting stronger lately, if your feelings of fear have been expanding, this is a week to rebuild your capacity for hope. This is not to say that you should feel recklessly optimistic, or that you should try to cultivate a simple, unthinking belief that everything’s going to be fine. Rather, this is a week for measured optimism, for strengthening and recharging your ability to believe that better things are possible. It’s a week to reignite your belief that your actions today are worth something, and that the world still has the capacity to be changed.

Virgo Weekly Horoscope

There are some who believe that one must earn every good thing in their life — that you must work unceasingly to prove yourself useful, to prove yourself worthy of comfort and dignity and peace. This week, reject that logic. Instead, try to operate from the assumption that you have value to the world already, that you have a right to your place on earth, that you deserve a good life. You’ll still have to fight for what you deserve, but don’t let anyone talk you out of believing that you do deserve it, and always have.

Libra Weekly Horoscope

It can feel, lately, as though the entire universe has shrunk to the size of your own apartment, your own bedroom, your own brain. This is a week for finding some air again, for rediscovering some room for movement. It’s a week for keeping your eyes open to the ways the world is still filled with color and motion and life. Pay attention, and you’ll encounter beautiful new sounds, new information, new ideas. Change can be stressful and tiring and dangerous, but it can also be liberating.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

It can feel, sometimes, like every spark of hope gets quickly extinguished, like every glimmer of a better world vanishes immediately. In times like this, it might seem almost humiliating to believe in anything at all. It can start feeling foolish to keep working for change — as though it’s wiser, more savvy, to give up on wanting anything good at all. This week, it’s crucial that keep that tiny, vulnerable streak of belief alive. This week, it’s your job to keep your inner fire burning, to stay soft and hopeful, to keep living like something better is possible.

Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

Sometimes, your own generous spirit gets to be too much for you. It leads you to give more of yourself than you can spare, to make whole-hearted promises you can’t keep. This is a week for recognizing that you can’t give everyone what they need. You can’t be the one to mend the whole world. This week, stop blaming yourself for not being bigger, for not having more to offer. Try, instead, to figure out how to care for your open heart, and how to make your generosity last.

Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

This week, you might feel overwhelmed by how very big the world is. For all your competence, all your brilliance, all your hard work, there’s so much that remains utterly outside of your control. It can be unpleasant to come up against the limits of your own power, but this is a week not to run from that knowledge. This is a week for acknowledging your limits, and for moving forward anyway. Your powers aren’t limitless, but they aren’t inconsequential, either. There are decisions that are still yours to make, and struggles that are still yours to win.

Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

Normally, you value your mind most for its brilliance, for its clarity, for its wild unconventionality. Normally, you push yourself to be ever smarter, sharper, more original. This week, though, remember that you’re allowed to lighten up sometimes, too. You’re allowed to create space in your head, and in your life, for things that are simply beautiful. You’re allowed to have thoughts that don’t do much of anything at all — thoughts that don’t tread new ground and don’t break barriers, but simply give you moments of sweetness, of softness, of relief.

Pisces Weekly Horoscope

This week, it can seem like everyone around you is talking about the end of the world. Everything seems to be collapsing, and whatever happens now seems permanent and final. And even though you can usually find beauty and clarity in endings — even though you know that every ending is a beginning, too — that doesn’t make the pain of loss any less real. Even though you can see a bigger picture, and even though you know the pain won’t last forever, give yourself permission to feel the small, human-sized emotions, too.

Autumn Greeting

Fae magick 
 is using mythological creatures instead of gods and goddesses as the basis of ritual magic.
 The Fae are not just fairies and pixies, but also gnomes, unicorns, dragons, elves, trolls and other mythological creatures. These creatures lived on our realm in the past but they moved to another realm once man started ruling the earth rather than cohabiting with its inhabitants.

How to learn Fae magick?
Fae magic is not easy to learn. It is steeped in lore and legend rather than guides and tutorials. There are a few things should be done to practice Fae magick:
Identification
Know the Fae’s limitations
Finding the Fae
Creating a magickal space
Meeting the Fae
Building trust

Identification
Each type of Fae has its own type of magick. Identifying which type of Fae magick is suitable is the first step of practicing Fae magick. Pixies are great with glamours, trolls with guarding and leprechauns with money.

Know the Fae’s Limitations
While each Fae is a magickal being, they are not all powerful. Each Fae has limitations and those limitations should be known to the practitioner.

Finding the Fae
While Fae magick can be worked anywhere, it is easier and more powerful if where Fae’s realm meets our realm is found. Traditionally, a fairy ring or ring of mushrooms can be found, but there are other ways to find where the realms meet. Usually, they are found by feeling a difference in an area. It usually feels more magickal and is off the beaten path. Take a walk in the woods, leaving the trails and paths. The Fae are hard to find, so don’t be discouraged.

Creating a Magickal Space
If a magickal area can’t be found, it can be created. Find or create an area of natural growth and cultivate it. Get to know the area. Fertilize and let it grow. Use the area for spell work and meditation. The more magick that is done in an area, the more likely the Fae will come. They are attracted to the magick. Find what trees, plants and flowers attract a particular type of Fae and build a sanctuary.
  
Meeting the Fae 
Once you meeting area is found or created, prepare to meet the Fae.  Bring offerings of sweets, crystals and other pretty and sparkly things. Knowing what a particular type of Fae likes makes this easier. Meditate in the area letting the Fae get use to company. The Fae will come once they are comfortable. Visualize a gateway to the Fae realm and knock on the door. Then talk to them. Tell them about the purpose behind why the presence is requested. Eventually, they will come.
Building trust

The last step to getting started with Fae magick is also the most important step: 
building trust. 
 The Fae do not trust easily. 
They expect trickery, deceit and lies. Most Fae will share their knowledge, but they do not want that information getting out to the general public.  Only share information and spells with the Fae’s permission. Be respectful. Know that if they are lied to, tricked or used, they will bring it back on the ones that did it to them.

Fae magick
 is not the easiest type of magick to learn. It is considered advanced magick by most practitioners. Learn the basics of magick first.

Spell A Day

Shoe Sachet for Safe Travels
Spell Date:  Saturday, November 3, 2018
Color of the day:  Brown
Incense of the day:  Magnolia
It’s holiday time—which means traveling, be it journeys to visit family, shopping trips, or just being outdoors and enjoying the sights and sounds and scents of the season. With so many people out and about, a travel talisman is in order. Back when folks traveled mainly on foot, it was customary to pop a few herbs into one’s boots to ensure a safe journey.

Make a sachet to slip into your shoes (when you’re not wearing them) to freshen them up and charge them with travel-friendly energy. Mix together equal amounts of mugwort (to prevent weariness), comfrey (for safety and protection), and mint (refreshing and hospitable), with this incantation:

"Near and far,
By foot or car,
Keep me safe where I go.
I will it be so!"

Place the mixture in black ( protective) pouches and tuck them into your shoes—just remember to take them out before wearing!

Tis the season of the Witch

Image result for Halloween wallpaper gif

Tis the Season of the Witch
Veil is thinning
As another year is ending
Darkness thickens
Ancestors nearing
Night of Magick
Night of rebirth
a Celebration of death and new life
Tis soon we will sup with the dead
our spells be cast to banish  yesterday and prepare us for the new days
Myth,lore,and stories told
Traditions kept
O Hallows eve
All Saints Day
Day of the Dead,
But for this night 
Witches welcome Samhain 

Trick or Treat info and tips

Image result for Halloween  gif transparent

Image result for Halloween dividers  transparent
The trick-or-treat tradition as we know it today slowly evolved in the United States as waves of European immigrants moved to the country in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Interestingly enough, the first description of the words "trick or treat" actually appeared in a Canadian text in 1927: "The youthful tormentors were at back door and front demanding edible plunder by the word 'trick-or-treat' to which the inmates gladly responded and sent the robbers away rejoicing." (Don’t worry about the language; the tone here was intended to be a playful one.) 

Trick-or-treating basically paused during the Great Depression and World War II, but it finally resurfaced after the war was over. At this point, you're probably wondering: Why do we pass out candy on Halloween instead of soul cakes now? Why do we trick-or-treat differently today than we did before? As it turns out, candy was simply much more popular after the war than soul cakes were, so kids began to receive those sweets instead. So unless soul cakes make a comeback, you can probably expect to continue giving out trick-or-treat candy for years to come. But don't expect any young people to sing to you before you dole it out of those Halloween candy bowls!

Safety Tips

1. Provide adult supervision
Trick or treat is safer – not to mention more fun – in groups, and adult supervision is essential. So get together with other adults and make an evening of it. Bring cellphones for quick pictures and emergencies, but leave them in your pockets to avoid getting distracted.

2. Stay on the sidewalks
The thrill of the holiday often factors into accidents as excited kids rush from door to door. Keep children on the sidewalks, and shepherd them carefully when they need to cross the road. In areas without sidewalks, walk on the far edge of the road, facing traffic.

3. Carefully check candy
Check candy for choking hazards like gum and hard candies. Throw away any candy that is not sealed with a wrapper and avoid homemade treats received from strangers.

Costume safety tips
4. Choose bright, visible costumes
When selecting a costume, opt for the bright-colored outfits and add a touch of reflective tape to the material. Stick some reflective tape on their trick-or-treat bags as well so they can be easily spotted by motorists. Lastly, don’t forget to make sure they’re equipped with a flashlight or glow stick – must-have accessories for any costume.

5. Make sure costumes are well-fitted and safe
Being visible isn’t the only safety consideration for a costume. The right fit is just as important. Here’s some advice on keeping your child’s ensemble safe and secure:

Prevent accidental tripping or entanglement by making sure costumes aren’t too big or long
Avoid masks that block vision, but if your child wears one – it should have large eye, nose and mouth openings. You can also op for makeup or face paint as an alternative
Costumes, wigs and accessories should contain a label indicating they are flame resistant
Make sure accessories such as swords, canes, or sticks are not sharp or too long
6. Makeup safety
If makeup is a part of your child’s Halloween costume plans, make sure it is non-toxic and test it on a small area first. Before your child goes to bed, make sure to remove all makeup.

Home Safety Tips
7. Jack-o-lantern safety
Young children can paint or color their pumpkins instead of carving. Or have them draw a face with markers and an adult can do the carving. Use colorful glow sticks inside your Jack-o-lanterns instead of candles to prevent burns.

8. Home decoration safety
If you’re turning your home into a haunted house, keep safety in mind: make sure steps, sidewalks, porches and paths are well-lit and free of decorations and holiday props. Keep decorations away from fireplaces and candles.

9. Take precaution against pranks and vandalism
Unfortunately, vandalism often increases during Halloween. That’s why taking these precautions is a good idea:

If you’re going away during Halloween, make it seem like you’re still home by turning down the volume of your answering machine and phone, covering your garage windows, and leaving your curtains in normal positions with valuables out of sight.
Install outdoor lighting (activated by a photocell or movement) to illuminate the area around your home during Halloween.
Consider purchasing a security system that directly alerts police to intruders.
Trim shrubs and large trees before Halloween so trespassers have fewer hiding spots.
Make sure your homeowners insurance policy is up-to-date.
Car and driving safety tips
10. Use extra caution while driving
Drivers need to take particular care on this chaotic night. Keep your car parked if you can, but if you have to drive through a neighborhood, take it much slower than normal. Watch for kids who may dart between cars and into the road without looking. Read our Halloween Driving Safety Guide for more useful tips.

11. Protect your car
Cars are another common target of vandalism on Halloween. Here are some ways you can help secure your car:

Park inside if you can on Halloween. Your garage is your best bet. If you do not have a garage you may want to consider investing in some outdoor lighting for your driveway and yard.
Make sure your car is locked on Halloween. Oftentimes, vandals complete their missions with ease when doors are unlocked and windows are down/cracked.
Consider a car alarm.
Hide your valuables on Halloween. Don’t give thieves any extra incentive to break into your car.
