The Summer Solstice

Published June 20, 2019 | By shirleytwofeathers

Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice, and it’s also the first day of our new project, Here Comes The Sun. So, I thought that today might be the best day to post information from The Farmers Almanac about the Summer Solstice along with links to more cool stuff about it just in case anyone is interested.

About The Summer Solstice:

In 2019, the June solstice will occur on Friday, June 21, at 11:54 A.M. EDT. This date marks the official beginning of summer as the Northern Hemisphere angles itself at the point in its orbit closest to the sun, causing the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. By longest “day,” we mean the longest period of sunlight.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice (aka summer solstice) occurs when the Sun reaches both its highest and northernmost points in the sky. It marks the start of summer in the northern half of the globe. (In contrast, the June solstice in the Southern Hemisphere is when the Sun is at its lowest point in the sky, marking the start of winter.)

The word “solstice” comes from Latin solstitium—from sol (Sun) and stitium (still or stopped), reflecting the fact that on the solstice, the Sun appears to stop moving in the sky as it reaches its northern- or southernmost point. After the solstice, the Sun appears to reverse course and head back in the opposite direction.

The timing of the June solstice is not based on a specific calendar date or time; it all depends on when the Sun reaches its northernmost point from the equator. Therefore, the solstice won’t always occur on the same day. Currently, it shifts between June 20, 21, and 22.

The Summer Solstice is the day with the longest period of sunlight. Notice how the Sun appears highest in the sky at the solstice; its rays strike Earth at a more direct angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer. Because the sun is highest in the sky on this day, you’ll notice that your shadow (at noon) is the shortest it will be all year.

For those who live in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day of the year and marks the arrival of winter.

If … Then …

Published March 7, 2019 | By shirleytwofeathers

Do you have a drink handy?

Did you know that when you eat or drink anything, whatever you are eating or drinking will become a part of your structure – this cannot be undone.

So today, we’re going to use the amazing “If …Then …” magic pattern from Living Energy and this is what you do.

Pick up your drink and realize that once you take a sip and swallow, this cannot be undone.

Say out aloud:

1. “If I drink from this, that will mean that I will become truly wealthy MUCH QUICKER than I had ever expected.”

Take a drink! Take your time and feel the drink going down.
Take a deep breath and continue with these, just the same:

2. “If I drink from this, that will mean that I will become truly wealthy MUCH EASIER than I ever thought I could.”

Finally, there’s Number …

3. “If I drink from this, that will mean that I’m going to enjoy being wealthy MUCH MORE than I ever thought I would.”

A Simple Money Spell

Published February 28, 2019 | By shirleytwofeathers

Now you might laugh, but this is GREAT FUN and it reaches the parts of us that you just can’t get to with balance sheets and suitcases full of paper money.

Be brave, just read it out aloud!

It’s shorter than 60 seconds, so you can loop it and do it more than once. If you clap along and actually ALLOW YOURSELF TO ENJOY THIS, it will be many more times more effective.

You can teach it to your kids if you have any and get them to sing it to you in the car. A marvelous stress buster and a sweet golden ray of happy magic:

Money in my pockets,
And money in my hand,
Money in my home,
And money in the bank.
Money streams towards me Like the river to the sea
Its easy and its magical
As counting one, two three …

Aaaand …..

There’s money in my pocket …☺

Morning Coffee Magick

Published August 16, 2017 | By shirleytwofeathers

Did you know that coffee has magickal properties? According to my sources, it does! How fun is that? I say, let’s start the day with some magick, along with a really yummy cup of spiced coffee!

Magickal Properties of Coffee

Provides peace of mind and grounding.
Helps to dispel nightmares, negative thoughts, and overcome blockages and unhealthy emotions. It’s great for protection and getting rid of all kinds of nasties.
Coffee is a stimulant and can be used to give spells, potions and charms an extra kick, or speed things up.
Coffee grounds can be used in divination and read like tea leaves.
It is considered excellent for curse breaking.
It can be used as an offering to deities, entities, and ancestors.
Some sources suggest it can be used for compulsion, and encouraging others to be more persuasive towards you. This is most effective when the coffee is served to the target.

Here’s a recipe for a cup of magickal morning brew.

Magickal Morning Coffee:

Ingredients:

3 pinches ground ginger
3 pinches cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
your favorite ground coffee

Directions:

Add cinnamon to the ground coffee and say: “Cinnamon is for vision, money and love.”
Add the ginger and say: “Ginger is for strength when push comes to shove.”
Add the nutmeg and say: “Nutmeg is for vision, good fortune, and wealth.”
Kiss your fingers and hold them over the coffee and spices, visualizing your love flowing into the coffee, and say: “A kiss keeps you happy and glowing with health.”
Move your hand in a clockwise direction over the coffee spice mixture three times to blend the energies together, then proceed to brew the coffee in your usual manner.

Note: If you add sugar or cream to your coffee, know that sugar sweetens the experience, and cream smooths the way.

Medicinal Properties of Coffee

But wait, there’s more! Coffee has medicinal properties as well.

Caffeine (in coffee) improves short-term alertness, attention, memory and may have long term protective benefits on cognitive decline as well.
Many studies confirm that aspirin and other analgesics work faster and better on headaches, when combined with caffeine.
Coffee consumption has been associated with long term weight loss, likely from the thermogenic effects of caffeine raising the metabolic rate.

On a side note: Nursing mothers who drink coffee might transfer the caffeine to their babies, giving them insomnia, in which case this may not be the best way to start the day.

Color Matters

Also, it does seem to matter what cup you put that coffee in. Research shows that hot beverages served in an orange cup or mug taste better than drinks served in say, for example, a white one. So… if you have an orange cup, drink your coffee in that. But if you don’t, that’s OK too. Just be on the look out at garage sales and thrift shops for cups and mugs that are orange. They don’t have to be orange on the inside, it’s the outside color that seems to matter. And if you find something really beautiful… well… that’s even better!

Magickal Focus

Published July 28, 2017 | By shirleytwofeathers

I found the following article on Wicca Daily. Even if you are not a believer in magick, this might be something that you might want to try if you need help with focus and concentration:

The Article:

One of the big struggles for Wiccans in the 21st century is focus.

Our attention span has gone from several minutes to only 13 seconds (at the time of writing this).

Isn’t that crazy?

That’s because, in average, something distracts us every 13 seconds. A Facebook message, a cute kitten on Instagram, an instant message or a phone call.

Imagine how things were just 25 years ago…

…back then, there weren’t really any cell-phones and computers couldn’t do much more than simply office tasks.

Not anymore…. Because now, almost everything is connected to the internet and it will make sure, we never miss a status update or an “important” email.

There is a way out of this madness though. It will require that you train your mind to stay focused for more than a few seconds at the time and it will require that you turn off you phone, computer, tablet, tamagotchi (remember those 😉 and everything else that beeps, dings and knocks.

For this spell, you will need:

A candle (orange is best, because it represents focus and and energy, but any color will do)
Time and a quiet place to sit.

Step #01: Before lighting the candle, spend a couple of minutes charging it with your intention. Tell the universe why you are doing this spell and which outcome you hope to get out of it.

For example: you might want to stop procrastination or simply improve your ability to focus.

Step #02: Light the candle. Imagine how the flame and heat takes your intention and spread it into the air, the sky and the universe. Make the image vivid in your mind. This should take a couple of minutes of well.

Step #03: Say the following:

“Gods and Goddesses of the world, the universe and everything else, help me reclaim my mind and my energy and give me back the power to focus. So Mote It Be!”

(you can change the words so they fit your practice and your deities)

Step #04: For the next 28 days, do everything you can to help yourself “re-learn” how to stay focused. That means silencing or turning off, all the things that distracts you. Not for ever, just when you are doing something that requires focus.

Personally, I like to dedicate a set time everyday to check email, social media etc. I only check it at those preset times. Trust me, you don’t miss anything.

The only thing that I allow to disturb me when I am working or with my family, is if my phone rings (on my phone, I can set it so only certain people can call, when it is in “do not disturb mode”).

I have a thing for symbols and another thing I’ve found works for me, is to wear a piece of jewelry that symbolize focus. Try it out and I am sure you will be amazed at how focused and super sharp you can be.

What about you? Is lack of focus something you are struggling with?

Helping Ourselves

Published March 13, 2017 | By shirleytwofeathers

For almost 30 days now, we’ve been working to figure ourselves out. We even interviewed ourselves for the job of being ourselves. I’m thinking that, by now, we should have a pretty good idea of our strengths, our weaknesses, our motivation talents, abilities, assets, good qualities, knowledge, and our strengths.

Now the big question is, how do we tap into it. How do we use what we’ve learned to create true prosperity, happiness, interesting, and fulfilling lives? What can we do to give ourselves the hand-up, the boost, the help that we need to make the leap from writing and thinking into action and reality?

I thought it might be helpful to try the following exercise. If it seems familiar, that’s because I have adapted it from the Meet With Success spell we did during our Gypsy Magick Project. In this exercise we are going to ask ourselves, our deepest strongest selves for help. If you feel more comfortable asking your spirit guides, guardian angels, or higher power for help instead, that’s fine too.

For this exercise, you will need to write down exactly what it is that you need. If you aren’t sure what is needed, write a brief statement of your view of what you’d like the end result to look like, followed by a “How do I get there from here?” or even, “Please I need help to get there from here.”

Keep in mind that this must be something that you truly do want. If any part of you wants to hang back, if you feel a twinge of fear, or the slightest resistance, go back and do a rewrite until it feels right.

You will need:

A clear idea.
A true desire for change.
A mirror and a candle.

Write down your request for help. We talked about that already. If you are asking your guides, angels or higher power for help – make that part of your statement. For example: “I ask my guardian angels to please give me the… etc.” If you are planning to speak to your deep inner self, you might begin with, “I ask my deepest, strongest, truest self to please…”

Find a place that is quiet and private. Light the candle in front of a mirror. Sit at the mirror and stare into your own eyes in search of your deepest truest self. Imagine a circle of gold light around you for protection and a circle of blue or violet light around you for healing and transformation.

Repeat your Christian name (or names) twenty-one times. Then ask for the help you need. and repeat it twenty-one times. Blow out the candle and await success.
