BE IN HARMONY WITH THE MOON
NEW MOON
Things to do during this Phase:
From New Moon to Full Moon is the time of growth, increase and expansion. Anything that you want to grow or expand from your hair to your ban...k account will move quickly with little effort at this time. This is when our brains grow larger and our bodies absorb nutrients better. Relationships or marriages started during this phase are more likely to be longer happier ones. This is also a great time to detoxify, fast, do healing and psychic work, make and visualize goals or wishes, gain new employment or employers, start your own business, move, buy a house, invest money, sign contracts, make physical changes to self such as perm or color hair, get tattoos, and cut hair for faster thicker growth.
In this Phase there are more female babies born.
Things not to do during this Phase:
From New Moon to 1st Half (2nd Quarter) stress levels are high and illnesses worsen so try not to overwork yourself. This is not a good time to do any long distance traveling or painting, as paints will take longer to dry. These things can be done, but for best results you should wait until the "Waning Phase" so that they will go smoother.
FIRST QUARTER
Things to do during this Phase:
This is a great time to make permanent purchases such as a house or business, get married, invest money, have gatherings, give speeches or lectures, improve or modify goals, do healing or psychic work, travel or go on vacation, have dental work done, make changes to physical appearances such as dye hair or do chemical alterations, cut hair for faster growth, and start a new job or course of study.
More female babies are born during this time.
Things not to do during this Phase:
This is not a good time for surgeries as there is a greater risk of complications, permanent scaring and healing will take longer. It is also not wise to do anything that requires risk taking.
FULL MOON
Things to do during this Phase:
This is a great time to end projects, reach agreements, get answers and ask for favors. Starting the day after the Full Moon is the best time to prepare herbal remedies, for they are most potent now. It is also the time to break bad habits, accept proposals, eat with less weight gain, go crabbing or gathering shell fish because they will be meatier. Also any form of hair removal will last longer at this time.
Things not to do during this Phase:
The Full Moon is a time of heightened aggression and stress so take care. This is also not a good time for any types of surgeries as healing takes longer, it is also not a good time to cut your hair unless you desire the hair to grow slower (maybe body hair).
4TH QUARTER
Things to do during this time:
This is the time to rest, reflect, reorganize, recoup, and release. This is also a time to cut hair, nails and lawn if you prefer slower growth. You will have great results with dieting, training pets,and any form of deep, thorough cleaning. It is important to air out your mattress during this phase and get rid of unwanted, outdated, items, characteristics, habits, relationships, etc. during this phase.
Things not to do during this phase:
This is not the time for initiating events, making any major decisions, negotiating or buying electronic gadgets or tools. It is also not wise to do any unnecessary driving as this is the peak time for traffic accidents because people are more physically and mentally exhausted

DON'T "CURSE" YOURSELF.
Cursing: a Hidden Downside
Author: Wade C. WilsonI realize most everyone curses, and I\'m no better than most. Cursing irritates my wife but it had not irritated me nearly as much until I had a recent first hand experience. We hired a contractor to perform some work for us because I knew the work would be too much for my skills. As it turns out, it was nearly too hard for the professional as well and he relegated the family and I to front row seats of a six-hour production of Curse Ville.
As I escorted the contractor through his activities I began to make observations about life, and more specifically about our contractor\'s life as he was realizing it, or as he was manifesting it into his own reality. This contractor cursed so routinely it was evident that he felt life and the universe in general was working against him, and I have to agree that his perception became a self-fulfilling prophesy as it became his reality that day.
I pondered this observation and considered it against other life experiences and studies I have conducted on manifesting reality, and it suddenly dawned on me how potentially dangerous cursing can be given its tendency to attract negative influences and energy into one\'s life. To understand this further, consider speech to be a filter of what lies inside us. Our true thoughts and feelings reside within. That which comes out is simply filtered based on societal, familial, and personal norms such that only a semblance of one\'s true, inner core is ever shared. Visualize hot water poured over coffee grounds becomes dark, flavored water. The coffee grounds would be the inner essence in this example, while the dark, flavored drink is only a semblance of that essence. Thus speech may resemble what lies within but there is a key difference here.
While clean speech may suggest a relatively pure, inner core such is by no means proof because of the filter we all impose on our speech. However, dirty speech or cursing would seem to indicate a corrupted, inner core that is suffering from negative influences and forever perpetuating the negative cycle because the cursing action attracts more negative energy into one\'s life thereby fulfilling one\'s negative prior expectations. The filter, you see, is one\'s conscience, and its state of health – or pain – may be indicated by the speech our conscience allows to manifest in reality.
Until I had this experience with the contractor I had never given much thought to cursing. But after this experience I noticed in my own life that when I allowed a little cursing to occur I felt less inhibited to curse again. If I cursed routinely I found more and more reasons to be upset and thus to curse even more. It was indeed a self-fulfilling prophecy. The only way to break the cycle was to take action with conscious, deliberate effort: I had to start thinking positive thoughts about the world and whatever activity in which I was engaged.
This simple change in thoughts led to an immediate change in perceptions and helped me to break the negative cycle almost immediately. Now this does not mean that all of my problems were immediately solved. Sometimes I would have to laugh and accept the fact that I was beaten. Laughing in the face of defeat certainly requires a change in mindset! We can\'t all win at everything all the time. Maturity is accepting this fact and accepting all of our frailties and weaknesses in life, and still loving ourselves – and life – despite this weakness.
When I can\'t beat the problem, I know I need to step back, take a break, consider it from a different angle, and maybe get some help. Cursing does not help. I know that now, but I also accept the fact that I\'m a recovering 'curse-aholic.' So I\'ll approach each day one problem – NO – one opportunity(!) at a time. I\'ll change the way I think and will consciously deny the negative power of cursing to intrude on my life. I will realize the life I want and deserve by helping that life to manifest through me and through my positive thoughts, which have no room for cursing to institute their negative influences on me.

FULL MOON RITUALS
FULL MOON RITUALS
Drawing down the moon...
Sending your blessings...
- Breathing in...
fear of wild forces beyond our control. - Breathing out...
the power to endure with strength and grace. - Breathing in...
the world's sickness, its worries and blame. - Breathing out...
a world that is radiant, healthy and harmonious. - Breathing in...
whole cities torn asunder by disaster and war. - Breathing out...
the power of the angels to set everything right.
Grounding the energy...
before the ritual
The Full Moon
The Full Moon actually covers three days, including the night of the Full Moon, itself. This is a time for action, for harvesting the fruits of our labors, for realizing that which we began at the last cycle, and of giving thanks.
The Dark Moon
The Dark Moon is the three day period from the last sliver of moonlight to the first sliver of moon light. This is the time of introspection; of looking within and meditating on the shadow self.
Moon Void of Course
As the moon orbits the Earth, it passes in and out of the 12 signs of the zodiac. A void-of-course moon is the time period when the moon makes no major aspect with other planets before entering another sign. The duration of this period can be as little as a few seconds or it can be longer than a day. The Moon rules the emotions, so one can expect to experience feelings of "disconnectedness," as well as emotional upsets, turnarounds, and variability. Therefore, it's a good rule of thumb not to sign contracts, start rituals, cast spells, or begin anything that would require any degree of emotional commitment until the Moon is aspected once again.
Blue Moon
A Blue Moon is that wonderful occurence when the Full Moon shows us her face twice in one month. Also known as a Goal Moon, it's an excellent time to set new goals for yourself.
Eclipses
As Lunar Eclipses represent the perfect union of the Sun and Moon, any type of magick worked or energy sent out during this time will be.amplified http://amzn.to/18aeeRs

ESU - KEEPER OF THE CROSSROADS
Esu and Ifa (divination with all its sacred texts) or Orunmila (the god of divination) rank as the most widespread and the most worshipped of all the deities. Both Esu and Ifa/Orunmila hold the Yoruba cosmic system together. Esu is now part of what some may label as the Black Atlantic religion; part of the attempt to recover African religions in other lands; as well as part of the use of religion for survival. As the book points out, in Esu's ability to migrate to other lands, he becomes part of transatlantic history, but more so of the tension between relocation and history, between the violence that led to the forced migrations of people and the long healing process of reconciliation with living in strange lands that later became new homelands.
http://amzn.to/195uJNp
Elegba (Eleggua, Eleggua) controls the roads and doors of this world. He is the depositary of Ashe. The colors schemes of red and black, as well as black and white, are his. They reflect his contradictory natures. Elegba stands at the crossroads of the human and divine. He brings good fortune to children because children are messengers between the two worlds. Not surprisingly, Elegba has a close relationship with the Orisha of divination, Orunmila. No spell or ritual can be done in either world without the permission of Elegba. It is to Elegba whom you make atoning sacrifices and it is Elegba who is called before any other Orisha to “open the doors” and begin the magical rituals. His numbers are 3 and 21.

COLOR MAGIK with JILL MORTON
Aloha
Before the arrival of the World Wide Web, I served as faculty at the University of Hawaii School of Architecture, Chaminade University and Matsuda Technology Center. Today, I present seminars about color and marketing, color theory and everything that color impacts.
The primary focus of my work since 1988 is color psychology. As a branding expert, I've provided color consultation for a vast array of projects - for clients such as Tylenol, Nokia Mobile Phones, Eastman Kodak and Dow Chemical. Please visit my business web site, Colorcom, for more information.
Most recently, I've written and published a series of eBooks about color entitled Color Voodoo. They're the sum total of every color course I've ever taught and all the research I've conducted.
The Color Matters web site is a continuation of my teaching and my passion for color.
About Jill ... from another color consultant
I think of Jill as one of the pioneers who put good, credible color information and insights out there on the www. I read it and I believe, I feel, that her color knowledge and expertise is coming from an authentic place. Experience and study has always reached thru from her site, and now her blog, and got my attention - and respect.Jill was one of the first. Four or five years ago there was nothing popping up in the search engines, I remember finding Color Matters and it was one of the very few. Bona fide color experts are hard to come by – there are so many poseurs. I think color world, the way we think about coloring our environments, is at a crossroads. I’ve felt for the last few years that we’re coming into a New Age of Color. Good color information has been bastardized, and diluted and in some cases dulled down so far that it doesn’t even make proper sense. Some of those folks responsible are just after the sound bites involving color and flashy pictorials to go with to entice readership. The sound bites are there, the pretty pictures are there, but there’s no substance. You’re fine if you just look at the pictures, but if you read the words, don’t expect much. I think it’s a critical time for color. There is a critical shift in how color designers who are committed to their craft are wanting to color. They want to color smart, they want to design with color for all the right reasons. The jig is up on the dribbling nonsense from self-proclaimed “color experts" |

Rev. Valerie Love the "CHRISTIAN WITCH"
I never felt like I fit in when I was growing up.
I had big feet, skinny legs and nagging low self-esteem.
And I was weird.
I barely spoke.
I saw things it seemed like other people couldn’t (or didn’t) see, people from the other side and spirits. I felt things I couldn’t explain. I knew things without knowing how I knew them.
Since my mom was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, all that was taboo. The party line was that if you see anything, it has to be demonic because Angels don’t show themselves anymore after the Bible was finished being written.
That story didn’t settle well in my spirit. Even when I was little.
I grew up not celebrating birthdays or holidays (from the age of 4) and sitting outside my classrooms while kids inside ate cake and ice cream.
To this day, I consciously choose to check my tendency to think I’m on the outside and everybody else is on the inside having fun.
At 30 I had a debilitating depression.
My life was falling apart.
Everything in it was caving in on me.
I had gotten married at 23 and had my first baby at 26 and my second child when I was 29. Part of the depression could have been post-partum. I think the only reason that baby survived was because I was breast-feeding. There was no way I could’ve made bottles.
So there I lay, in the bed, with the baby, day after day, night after night, doing almost nothing. My house looked a wreck and so did I. My husband must have wondered what in hell was wrong with me.
One day, I heard The Voice say “GET UP”.
I did.
I shot straight up in bed and got up.
Then The Voice said “GO OUTSIDE”.
What?!?!? You gotta be kiddin’ me! I can barely get in the shower and dressed, how am I supposed to go outside?!?!?!?
I did it anyway.
I got up, got dressed, went downstairs and swung the front door open.
It was like Count Dracula popping out the coffin. I thought the sun was going to toast my butt.
The Voice said “BREATHE”.
I thought I was already breathing. Apparently I was not.
I breathed deeper. Something in me woke up.
The Voice said “WALK”.
I put one foot in front of the other and started walking.
The Voice said “LOOK UP”.
I looked up at the big bright beautiful blue sky. This was what I had been missing. Later I found out that looking up while walking outside can lift depression.
I felt better. I was coming alive again.
That was 20 years ago as of this writing. I still walk outside almost every day.
The Voice knew what to do to save my life, because a few days before I had eyed a bottle of 800 mg pain killers they had given me after having the baby and wondered how many it would take for me to take a nap and never wake up.
The depression came from not living my authentic life. I was slowly dying under the weight of doing what everybody else told me to do.
I was a nice girl.
I did what my mother told me to do.
I did what my religion told me to do.
I did what the elders of my religion told me to do.
And when it was all said and done, I looked up and had a life of unconscious creation.
Whose life is this?!?!? I kept asking. It was mine, but it wasn’t mine by design because hardly any of it was what I wanted.
So I made the decision to let go of what didn’t fit any more. The husband. The house. The religion. I changed almost everything in my life. I went on a furious search for truth. I ditched everything I had been taught and started from scratch, with ONE tender morsel from my deconstructed house of beliefs:
God is love.
That’s it.
That’s all I had to go on. And it was more than enough. I let that simple little Truth carry me through the next few years on a trek to slowly find myself.
I’m not saying the journey is over. Nope. It’s in full swing.
As I write this, I’m 50 years young, doing what I love, in a life I mostly love, with people I love.
Most of all, my knowing that God is love expresses in my life every day. YUM!
Along the way I discovered, no, I remembered I am a Witch. I was born a Witch, so it wasn’t actually so much a discovery as it was a remembrance. It took me decades to make peace with myself.
I’m writing this to share my story with the intention and prayer that it will inspire you… to LIVE, to LOVE to make a difference and to share your unique journey so the rest of us can learn and grow.
I love you.
Namaste,

RETURN OF THE GREAT OLD ONES
BOOK OF THE OLD ONES | ||
| ||
LEARN TO AFFIRM!!!
My income is constantly increasing.
I prosper wherever I turn....
Today is a delightful day. Money comes to me in expected and unexpected ways.
I give myself the green light to go ahead, and to joyously embrace the new.
Green means “go,” and I choose to go for all the good life has in store for me.
I love dress-up holidays. I can be anyone I choose today.
I support others in becoming prosperous, and in turn, Life supports me in wondrous ways.
I am now willing to be open to the unlimited prosperity that exists everywhere.
I live in a loving, abundant, harmonious universe, and I am grateful.
I deserve the best, and I accept the best now.
All is well and I am safe.
How we start our day is often how we live our lives.
What do you say when you first look in the bathroom mirror? What do you say when you take a shower? What do you say... when you get dressed? How do you leave your house for work? Do you just run out or do you say something nice. And what do you do when you get into the car. Do you slam the door and growl that you have to go to work?
I would like you to start your day tomorrow with an affirmation. When you first wake up and open your eyes, here are some affirmations you can say:
Good morning, bed. Thank you for being so comfortable, I love you.
Darling (your name), this will be a blessed day.
I am a gift to the world.
There are great experiences coming my way today.
Life loves me!
And when you get up and look in the bathroom mirror, I’d like you to say these affirmations:
Good morning Darling. I love you.
We are having a great day today.
You are a magnet for miracles.
You have time for everything you need to do.
You look great today.
An affirmation is a beginning point. It opens the way. You are saying to your subconscious mind: I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.
If you continue to say the affirmation, either you will be ready to let whatever it is go, and the affirmation will become true; or it will open a new avenue to you.
Open your eyes. Open the door. Take the first step. Say these affirmations tomorrow morning. Say them for the entire week. See how you can change your life by a single thought.
Let’s affirm: Every thought I think is creating my future.
