This spell can be adapted to other works. You can focus on financial issues by only using a green candle for each day, and combining the Planetary oils and incense with desired financial oils.  Instead of asking for the blessings of the planets, ask the planet to bring you wealth, or with Mars and Saturn to protect your wealth.

Or you could adapt it to love, mixing love oils and incense with the planetary oils and incense, and also working with Mars to drive away rivals or bad lovers, and Saturn to protect you from bad lovers and rivals.


You can also adapt this to curse people, by starting at Midnight on Monday, and each planetary day, go to one hour going down, until you finish at 6 am on Saturday, meant to bring out the negative forces of the planets.

Harvest Home and International Day of Peace

September 21st is the Autumn Equinox. Another old name for this day was Harvest Home before Aidan Kelly decided on the name Mabon.
In the mid 20th century, the United Nations decided to name September 21st as the International Day of Peace. I find this an interesting choice and a fascinating overlap. The first thought that came to mind was how the equinox is the balance point and the days surrounded it are more or less equal hours of day and night. A moment of peace between one the bright and long days of summer, and dark and long nights of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Whichever one you decide to observe, may you have a blessed day, and may these blessings continue to bring you more blessings in the future.

Happy Spring Equinox

Happy Spring Equinox! Personally I see this as “Mid Spring” as the Solstices are known as Midsummer and Midwinter respectively. Spring really begins on February 1st with Candlemas. The weather predictions done on the 1st and 2nd of February based upon snakes, or groundhogs, or just the weather being dark and gray or clear and bright decides if the first part of spring is going very much the idea of “spring” or just an extended winter. It seems this year in North America, it was much more a long winter, but then February first and second where I live was bright, clear and warm. So it seems the prediction was true.

I wish only that your personal lives can quicken, grow and blossom, as we leave the vestiges of winter behind us and move into the growing and hopefully flourishing part of the year. Things look grim in the world around us on a greater scale, but I wish we can all find what we need to not just survive, but thrive.

March 18 – Feast day of the Archangel Gabriel

Happy Feast Day of the Archangel Gabriel!
March 18 was the feast day of Gabriel until 1969. I still continue to observe this as Gabriel’s Feast day, including many others from different sects of Christianity.

As i have said many times before, in many ways Gabriel seems to be the overlooked archangel. Far more people will turn to Saint Michael for many things, and only think of Gabriel for the Annunciation, even though Gabriel appears many times in many stories.

As the angel of Annunciation, and many other appearances as bringing messages from God, Gabriel is a divine Messenger, an angel of angels in that the word Angel originally means messenger. Many people will pray to Gabriel asking for messages and guidance, and for help with psychic abilities, to reveal things that are hidden.

Some people are recognize Gabriel for the meaning of his name. His name comes from the Hebrew meaning Strength of God. If you are familiar with Kabbalah, and the Sefirot, the Sefirot Geborah is actually the beginning of the name Gabriel. the end -iel means of God. Thus, the Strength or Might of God. Gabriel as the Strength of God is called upon by someone people for Divine Strength and Might, or getting his power to help you in any number of situations. In a spell from the PGM, Gabriel is even called up to bring his power to make someone fall in love with the client of the sorcerer. But this divine strength can be applied to anything.

Another common sphere of influence for Gabriel is a commander of the celestial hosts. While some may think this applies to the angels, but I think this refers to the spirits who govern the celestial objects ie the planets and stars. This is why Gabriel is also considered the Angel of the Moon. As the Moon was considered to take all the celestial rays of the planets and stars and transmit them to the earth, so Gabriel is considered to command the spirits of the celestials objects. So, if you’re doing a summoning of astral spirits, you might make some devotions to Gabriel to help you with them.

Feast to the Queen of the Gods

I have never felt much of a connection to Imbolc and Brigid who is the more popular goddess associated with February and it’s beginning. In searching for alternatives, I found a connection to Juno. Having a preference for Graeco Roman divinities, this is who I choose to devote the first cross quarter feast to.
Juno/Hera often gets the short end of the stick in most popular media these days. Usually the stories of her vengeance on the bastard children of Zeus from his uncountable paramours is the most often told story, and for that she is painted as being cruel, wicked, evil, vindictive, a harridan, and generally a bad example of a woman. They often overlook her other qualities, and other stories about her.
One overlooked and rather important thing, that is often left out from modern retellings is that she was the divine patron of Jason of Jason and the Argonauts. Jason’s success in his journey came about because she favored him and helped him. As long as he held her favor, his ventures worked out for him. It wasn’t until he lost Hera’s favor, by screwing over Medea and breaking promises to her, and abandoning his own children, did his fortunes change and he ended up losing, hard.
The month of February is also named for an title of Juno, that of Juno Februa, or Juno of Purification. The month February in the old Roman calendar was closely connected with purification, which would culminate on the 15th of February with the Februa purification. After this it would become a time of feasting and honoring the Gods, the dead, the Lares, and the prosperity of the people and the city itself as evidenced by it’s stability and prosperity.

A 29 day ritual practice to develop psychic abilities and bring fortunate dreams

If you want to improve your psychic abilities, undertake the following practices for 29 days. You can start at any time, but it will be easier to keep track if you start at the first of the month, or if you can start at a particular moon phase, as a complete cycle will return you back to that moon phase where you started. 

  1. Drink a cup of mugwort tea every day. Mugwort is an herb known to aid in psychic abilities, and it is common for some people to drink it as a tea. (check any for contrary recommendations for yourself) If mugwort is not your choice of herb, star anise also makes a good psychic herbal tea.
  2. Take a picture of yourself and place it under a candle holder. Using a white candle of any kind, tealight, chime, or even a glass encased vigil candle. Fix the candle with Psychic Vision oil or Aunt Sally’s Lucky Dream oil. As the candle burns each day, spend 5-15 minutes sitting in silence and letting your inner voice communicate with you. This may take the form of visions, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations, or just a knowingness. 
  3. To help with dreams, keep a dream journal. Keep it nearby while you sleep and whenever you wake up, whatever you recall of your dreams, write it down in the journal. If you don’t recall anything, write this down as well, as it shows that you’re wanting to recall and can stimulate recall. This journal can be a notebook, sketchbook, even an app on your phone, or sound recording. 
  4. During this 29 day period, take 4 spiritual baths using psychic vision or lucky dream bath crystals. Collect your bath water and dispose of it at a crossroads while facing towards the rising sun. 
  5. To help with dreams, you can write down the 23rd Psalm on a sheet of paper. Fold this up and place it under your pillow while you sleep. This will help bring fortunate dreams that can give you insight, lucky numbers, guidance to resolve problems and many more.

During and towards the end of the 29 days, you will find your psychic abilities to have increased and noticeably as well as an increase in dreaming and lucky or prophetic dreams.

Happy New Year!

Recently on social media I saw a post about the phrase “May you live in interesting times” and a reminder that the phrase is meant as a curse.
The poster than followed this by saying their blessing was “May you living in boring, peaceful times” which I found a little lackluster, so I offer this up to the world. May you live in Peaceful and Prosperous times.
I think people forget about the benefits of peace, tranquility and calm. Free from stress. Able to focus. You can rest, you can heal, you can recharge.
