RELEASE YOUR FEARS AND MOVE FORWARD
Merry Meet :))) A huge part of Wicca is discovering your true self and walking your personal path. A part of getting to know yourself better is looking at why you do the things you do. The New Moon is a time of New Beginnings and a very strong night for magickal work involving releasing and starting anew.
So today I want to look at one fear that you have in your life. Pick one that seems to be the most prominent. For example I have trust issues, so I have chosen to work with that tonight. You may choose a fear of change, heights, foods, the dark, and the list goes on. Pick the one that feels right to you.
Find a place that is quiet that you can meditate or think quietly to yourself for a bit of time. I want you to take a good look at that fear. It may be helpful to write things down. Identify what the fear is as precisely as you can. Taking the trust example again, is it a fear of trusting anyone, certain people, certain circumstances etc. Write down as much detail as you can. I then want you to identify where you feel that fear most in your body. Do you feel it in your solar plexus, your heart chakra, does it just make you feel ill and shaky?
The next step is to figure out where this originated from. Start going back through your life until you find the earliest instance you can imagine of this fear. Look at that situation and identify how it impacted your life today. Then make a conscious decision to forgive whoever is involved. If there is no one else involved you may need to look and see if you need to forgive yourself. Write down on your paper who you forgive and why. Sit with that for a few moments and really concentrate on forgiving that situation. Realize that it is a situation that you were most likely meant to learn from. Identify what you learned and make that decision to move forward.
The next step is to release that fear. Envision that fear floating up and away from you. You may choose to burn a piece of paper with the fear on it to help you, or envision it in your hands and blowing it into the wind, or simply ask the Divine to take it from you.
The final step is to heal that fear. Surround yourself with white light and heal the area that you feel that fear the most. For instance I feel trust issues mainly in my solar plexus so I will fill that area with a loving energy to fill the space that I made by removing that fear.
You may want to choose one issue a month to work on. In doing this you will work on releasing your past and allowing yourself to move forward to the beautiful future that awaits you.
Much Love and Many Blessings,
Jasmeine Moonsong

Just got back from Spring Fling 2013 at my local occult shop. I love going there. I've been going since 1994. I'm going to have to take pictures and post them for my readers someday. Spring Fling is a sale where when you buy one item then you get the next item of equal or lesser price half off. They do these types of sales several times a year. I normally go for their Halloween sale and stock up on stuff. Let me tell you, the owner stayed up to 3:30am baking herbal cookies for customers. Man, where they good. I've never had herbal cookies before. I mean there were like lemon coriander, lavender cookies, cardamon, etc. I told her she needs to publish a cookbook with the recipes. There was also a masseuse, a crystal vendor selling some wonderful jewelry and stones, and there was supposed to be some one there for of entertainment but I guess they weren't there when I was there.
Interesting thing, the masseuse offered to give me a massage but I declined because I tend to pick up other people's conditions easily and especially when touched. But she seemed nice and I wished her well.
So I went knowing I was going to purchase a pendulum. If you ever shopped for a pendulum it can take a while because you got to find the right one for you. Well, I got down to two. One was a smoky quartz with a wolf pendant. The other was an amethyst with a triquetra. I immediate realized that the wolf one was male and the triquetra one was female. So I kept racking my brain trying to decide which one to buy when my little inner voice kicked in, "Get 'em both, dummy". LOL So I purchased both of them. My one with the wolf I'll use for my male clients and the triquetra one I'll use for my female clients. So when I bought them I was given all these extra goodies in the bag that jut made my day. I got a small baby-blue drawstring bag filled with semi-precious stone chips, two rose rocks (the official Oklahoma state rock), candy, a pen, incense sticks, and a 15% of card for my next visit. I was really impressed but then again I love this store.
I don't know if you remember me writing on this but a client gave me this HUGE box full of Wiccan stuff. I didn't know what to do with it. I mean, there's tons of statues, cauldrons, a Ellegua head, stone boxes, pentacles, and all kinds of other stuff. I thought about just selling them on my blog but realized it would be too much of a hassle with shipping. So I talked with one of the employees and so they are going to take them and will sell them on consignment. So I'm really happy about that. Saves me a lot of problems and hassles.
At one point I almost thought I was going to make a vaping convert. A former occult shop owner (her shop closed a few months back) was there giving readings and mentioned she had to take a smoke break. I brought up vaping and either she didn't hear me or willingly chose to ignore me but she walked right past me and out the door. Then one of the new employees I'm not familiar with came up to me and told me that they've been trying for a long time to get her to switch to vaping, as all of them had too. I was like, "Yeah, I love vaping and it's saved my life for sure.".
So I'm pooped out. Time for a nap.

Holey stones (also known as Odin Stones or Hag Stones) are literally stones with natural holes in i.e. made by nature by crashing together along a sea bed with water rushing past and then through them creating the holes.
Holey stones have been used for thousands of years for 3 main purposes, depending on your beliefs and also where you live. The 3 main uses are:
HEALING - It is said that someone wearing a holey stone around their neck will be cured of any disease. You can also rub a healing stone over an affected wound (over the top of a bandage or plaster though please we don't want infections!) or painful joint to ease the pain and aid healing.
PROTECTION - Funnily enough, holey stones have been used for many years in the South West of England to protect people against Witchcraft and Witches, and yes it is even still used to this day on fishing boats for this very reason. However it used to protect anyone against negative forces. A common place to hang them is over windows and doors. They are also said to protect you against nightmares so hanging one above your bed or on your bedstead would also be good.
TO SEE FAIRIES - Legend says that if you hold a holey stone up to your eye and look through it you can see creatures that you cannot normally see, such as Fae folk.
Earlier this year we had a fantastic day at Reculver beach looking for holey stones. It was in the middle of winter, it was freezing cold and blowing a gale. We wrapped up warm and started to look on the beach. One by one we found one. It is said that the stones find you, rather than you finding them. This was certainly true as at first we couldn't find any and then all of a sudden it was as if they were just popping out of the ground at us. We found loads, we didn't take them all, just a few, one for each for us. It was such a happy day, the weather was awful and we were laughing and giggling as we were so cold. People were walking their dogs up the top of the beach and laughing at us because we giggling and swaying around in the wind. It was just one of those days you remember because we were so happy. When we got home we threaded our stones on black cotton cord and now we have them safe for when and if we need them.
Next time you are near stones or pebbles, have a look for a holey stone. If you are lucky you will find a holey stone, or rather, if you are lucky, a holey will find you.

" So many people have confused the horned God, or Pan, the peaceful nature God, with Satan. Although I do not work with Pan at this time, that's not to say that I won't. Many people don't realize that the Christians took him from the Pagan culture before them and made him into Satan as an enemy for their God and mankind. But in reality, Pan came down to Arcadia to help people, an aid to mankind, after Zeus banned him from Olympus for being annoying. But Pan never started a war with Zeus, or God as he would be known today, Zeus was actually annoyed by Pan's flute and made him leave heaven. This is where the Christians got their Satan concept and made it into their own story. Pan or the Horned God has never been evil or an enemy of mankind in history."
"
" I see Pan as an awesome nature God. How do you see him? What and who is he to you? Have you had any magickal experiences, workings and/or successful relationships with Pan? Please feel free to tell your story. Of all the beautiful, magickal and enchanting spirits in nature, I am sure the Wiccan tales are endless."
"
" Also, many people see the God and Goddess as part of our own spirits. It is not only a Christian concept that the spirit of God is in us all, it's also Pagan and Wiccan. Do you think that the divine dwells within us all? I believe that the spirits and magick of the God and Goddess shines in us. Be sure to include what you think. "

Oh, the confusion! Do you have any idea how many religion-
Deism: The universe was created by one god, but that god has no further involvement in the universe or its inhabitants. Many of the Founding Fathers were Christian in name and deist in actual belief.
Duotheism: The belief in one deity that is divided into two equal aspects, like a Goddess and a God. This is where Wicca generally falls.
Henotheism: There is one god, served by multiple lesser "sub-deities," like angels. This is what most of the modern "monotheistic" religions actually are.
Kathenotheism: There are many gods, but only one is in charge at a time, and they take turns.
Misotheism: The belief that some gods are evil.
Monolatry: There are multiple deities but only one that should be worshiped. It can be argued that Christianity falls into this category: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" implies there are other gods to have.
Monotheism: There is one god, period.
Neopaganism: An umbrella term referring to modern reconstructions or interpretations of ancient Pagan beliefs.
Paganism: An umbrella term usually referring to religions outside the major modern ones. There is a technical difference between "Pagan" and "Neopagan," but many use the terms interchangeably.
Pandeism: God created the universe, but is now the universe itself.
Pantheism: God is everything and everything is God.
Panentheism: The universe is made out of God or part of God, but God is still greater than that universe.
Polydeism: Multiple gods exist but are not involved in influencing the universe or its inhabitants.
Polytheism: There are many gods. Soft polytheists believe these gods are aspects of one higher power. Hard polytheists believe the gods are distinctly separate entities.
Proselytism: The practice of attempting to get people to convert to a religion.
Shamanism: Religious practices

Aloha Gilbert,
That's very common.
Mere knowledge without virtue is worse than ignorance.
I've had to put up with a number of those types over the years myself, and everybody must struggle with similar passions within yourself on a daily basis.
By dedicating yourself to purification (kala), you do not attract those energies, keeping focused on 'I'o-tumu... the very highest perspective... you become more and more pure.
Now look...
Those prideful gurus despise having their contradictions exposed, and they usually "blame the messenger" and they quickly use anger, intimidation, and guilt-installation to manipulate and control.
By keeping to your regular kala, they remain completely impotent because their only power is what they can steal from you.
That's why doing a daily Ha Rite (pule) is so essential.
The complete Hooponopono manual we developed with Morrnah Simeona has all the prayers you need to do kala.
Even though Kala is only a part of the Ha Rite, it is probably the most important part.
And you'll better understand why below.
The ultimate goal of doing Hooponopono is creating harmony between your three selves.
This requires the complete relaxation of your body, the cleansing of all those unconscious negative programs from deep within your inner self and the conscious mind, followed by meditation on your 'Aumakua to "draw it near to you."
Read that again, because it really packs severl Master Keys together in a profound way. It sounds simple, and it is "simple" because all wisdom is simple...
... it's in the nitty-gritty how-to-do-it that takes a lifetime.
Think about it.
* complete relaxation of the body... Complete!
* total cleansing of your deepest inner self... totally!
* harmonizing the conscious mind with the Divine Will
* etc.
THAT is the Truth of Huna!.
Onward.
> After this about 3 months ago i found out that did black magic to me. I think that they
> shut off my solar plexus center. can you help me.or tell me what i have to do.
Pure A-LO-HA and the blessing of 'I'o upon you.
I'll explain exactly what you need to do, with the assistance of the Poe 'Aumakua below, and first... let me explain...
You are NOT alone!
"Pandora's Box" was opened upon the world with the spread of "spiritualism," New Thought, and what is now generally called the "New Age" movement.
There is a huge difference between a "good person" and a holy person.
... anyone who pretends to be holy should be avoided at every cost.
We're ALL human!
... and that means we're all "imperfect" and striving toward perfection. So, even if every New Thought leader of the past century began with the highest and best intentions, the energies they unleashed brought destruction.
The Theosophists appeals to "masters" on the spiritual plane, and countless "channelled entities" easily fool so many with their simplistic but entertaining feats of syllogistic expositions that any and every unihipili can and does perform quite easily.
Even Max Freedom Long, who had only limited communication with Kahuna after moving to California, suffered some terrible effects resulting from his earliest experimentation with healing energies.
And here's why...
Without a long-lasting and very close relationship with experienced Elders from the Ancient Tradition, you're on your own.
The spiritual seeker who tries to guide himself has a fool for a student.
The world is full of sorcerers and misconceptions, and that is why I encourage everyone to thoroughly investigate everything that you're reading.
These teachings were traditionally kept under lock-and-key... NOT out of greed or control or power, but to protect the uninitiated from the awesome power of these energies.
If you're playing with fire, you will get burt.
This is of the utmost importance!
We recently filmed a Huna Practitioner Certification, I agreed to put it on DVD, and we're going to have to pull it from the market because the company that is producing the DVDs put some parts of the training that should NEVER go out to the general public!
The Kupuna are here to keep you safe!
So the very first thing that you must do to protect yourself from their black magic is this...
You have to forgive them.
Why?
... it's pretty simple.
They don't understand what their doing.
... if they did, they wouldn't be doing it.
We may always be dealing with the consequences of renegade teachers who place their own interests above all... that's part of human nature!
Look at the "tourist industry Huna" some people in Hawaii are promoting today.
Led by self-appointed "kahuna" who claim they met some mysterious and unidentifiable "kahuna" years ago, but no one else has ever seen or heard of them nor ever discovered who they were supposed to be. They look sort of Hawaiian because they sprinkle Hawaiian symbols around indiscriminately, including a number of powerful black magic symbols, mixed together with positive symbols, and they're openly experimenting with all of them together equally. They have inexperienced students meditating on what so many of our Elders would instantly recognize as being pure evil. They're even trying to use them for healing!
Understand... this is definitely nothing new!
You can find exactly the same thing happening in every nation throughout history.
The "Kahuna Motto"
In the "House of Teave" they had a seal-of-secrecy to protect people from themselves... from aspiring to things for which they were not prepared.
And there was clearly good reason for having a minimum of 20-years preparation required in the Ancient Traditions before a Kahu beginning to teach.
The initiate can only prepare to command through learning to obey!
Practically everyone who's ever written a book on spirituality comes from that very limited perspective... enthusiastically sharing what they've learned of the spiritual realm long before they've gained proper experience and perspective.
That's just human nature...
... so you have to forgive them.
Forgive them now.
I will personally be working on this for you at 9am and 9pm daily (see mr. james vinson wingo: my name is gilberto l. gutierrez, and want to share something with you a few years ago, and my search for spiritual knowlege i joint a group. and a,fter few year with them i desided not to continued getting their teaching, because there where some contradiction. And for that reason i became their enemy.After this about 3 months ago i found out that did black magic to me. I think that they shut off my solar plexus center. can you help me.or tell me what i have to do.

BELIEVER ENCOURAGEMENTS
"Taken from CH Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, 17 January, Evening "
"And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house." - 2 Samuel 11:2
At that hour David saw Bathsheba. We are never out of the reach of temptation. Both at home and abroad we are liable to meet with allurements to evil; the morning opens with peril, and the shades of evening find us still in jeopardy. They are well kept whom God keeps, but woe unto those who go forth into the world, or even dare to walk their own house unarmed. Those who think themselves secure are more exposed to danger than any others. The armour-bearer of Sin is Self-confidence.
David should have been engaged in fighting the Lord's battles, instead of which he tarried at Jerusalem, and gave himself up to luxurious repose, for he arose from his bed at eventide. Idleness and luxury are the devil's jackals, and find him abundant prey. In stagnant waters noxious creatures swarm, and neglected soil soon yields a dense tangle of weeds and briars. Oh for the constraining love of Jesus to keep us active and useful! When I see the King of Israel sluggishly leaving his couch at the close of the day, and falling at once into temptation, let me take warning, and set holy watchfulness to guard the door.
Is it possible that the king had mounted his housetop for retirement and devotion? If so, what a caution is given us to count no place, however secret, a sanctuary from sin! While our hearts are so like a tinder-box, and sparks so plentiful, we had need use all diligence in all places to prevent a blaze. Satan can climb housetops, and enter closets, and even if we could shut out that foul fiend, our own corruptions are enough to work our ruin unless grace prevent. Reader, beware of evening temptations. Be not secure. The sun is down but sin is up. We need a watchman for the night as well as a guardian for the day. O blessed Spirit, keep us from all evil this night. Amen.
"Taken from Charles H Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, 17 January, Evening "

Have a stubborn ex who will not listen to reason? Your ex does not answer your calls or text messages? What can you do when your ex cuts you out of his life? What if I would tell you that there is a way to make it be him who wants to be taken back by you?
BRING BACK LOVE SPELLS can get your ex lover back. They increase your ex lover's feelings of attraction for you, both physically and emotionally. Plus, bring back love spells make him miss you and contact you to work the relationship out. They are a strategy to successfully bring him back to you.
Such spells can be done no matter in which terms you ended with your ex lover. Often, people end in bad terms, which is not a novelty. Ending in friendly terms does not make a huge difference-because what matters in a relationship is attraction. But bring back love spells take care of creating such a strong one.
Losing Your Lover To Another Person
Your ex may be in a relationship already, even before breaking up with you. Bring back love spells will not be that effective when he or she has strong feelings for another person. The spell would confuse your ex lover or you can end up losing him or her again to the same person. To prevent this, a spell to break them up must be done first.
Cautions to Have With Bring Back Love Spells
There are alleged magicians that advice, secretly, mixing brewages into the drink of a person to retrieve him or her as a lover or make the person fall in love with you. Most people will have no problem doing it. However, the brewages might be nothing but a stupefacient or potentially mortal substance.
Toloache is a herb used in brewages meant to retrieve a lover. The person who drinks it will happily do everything you wish-because he is made into an idiot. Toloache damages the nervous system, sometimes even causing paralysis.
In my opinion, the above is a cheap trick, not magick. This utilizes psychic abilities to work out.
Conclusion
Bring back love spells are a way to retrieve your lover when you can not do much with your actions or have tried everything. Depending on the person that casts them, their effect can be so strong that your ex will desperately want to be taken back by you.

THE MYSTERY SCHOOL OF SOPHIA"In certain artworks I explore spiritual concepts and iconography. There are 9 elements and icones woven into this painting of the Goddess, Sophia. Below I discuss the work in general, a list of all 79 can be found via a link at the end of the article to my fine art site.
"
THE DIVINE FEMININE"As the feminine companion to God, Sophia symbolizes the womb of creation which brings forth all life from the sacred marriage of opposing energies: spirit and matter, heaven and earth, intellect and intuition. She holds the caduceus: the winged staff entwined with two serpents.
The serpent is an ancient symbol of duality. It is considered both masculine and feminine, solar and lunar, medicinal and poisonous, preserver and destroyer, spiritual and sensual. In addition, the synthesis of opposing energies is represented by the Rosy Cross, from which emerges the sheaf of grain, representing the ultimate revelation of the Mysteries.
On the left of Sophia, the feminine energies are symbolized by the moon and the pool of water. The moon governs the tidal cycles and is associated with the waters of creation. The moon also symbolizes the material realm. As the moon reflects the light of the sun, matter is the reflection of spirit. In addition, the moon illuminates the invisible world which corresponds to the feminine gift of intuition.
On the right of Sophia, the masculine energies are represented by the sun and the element of fire. The sun generates heat and light which sustains all life. The sun also symbolizes the spiritual realm. As the sun generates light, the spiritual realm is composed of pure light. In addition, the sun illuminates the visible world, which corresponds to the masculine characteristic of intellect.
The holy number seven is associated with the four lunar phases and is sacred to Sophia. According to the Book of Proverbs, "Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out it's seven pillars." These are known as the Seven Pillars of Wisdom: Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, Grammar, Rhetoric, Dialectic, and Music.
The Greek religious temples and philosophical academies were supported by pillars carved in the likeness of women, as the priestesses of the Great Goddess were the original "pillars of the church". In ancient times, the seven stars of the Pleiades marked the point of the vernal equinox which occurred in the constellation of Taurus.
According to the Greeks, the Seven Sisters were a flock of doves, placed in the heavens by Zeus. The leader of the Pleiades was Alcyone, the "halcyon" bird which ensured good weather during the sowing month of Taurus. Appearing in the form of a dove, Sophia was identified with the Holy Spirit in the Gospels.
Accordingly, the Holy Spirit is frequently depicted in religious iconography with seven rays of light emanating from it. These correspond to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. Sophia is also the embodiment of the Many-Named Lunar Goddess, crowned with a halo of twelve stars, which correspond to the twelve months, or moons, of the solar year.
Upon her forehead, she wears the symbol of the triple moon. This corresponds to the three visible lunar phases of the Triple Goddess: the Virgin (Waxing Moon), the Mother (Full Moon), and the Crone (Waning Moon). Furthermore, her triple aspect is represented by her three daughters; Faith, Hope, and Charity.
According to the ancients, the Earth is encircled by seven heavens or spheres. Above them is the eighth sphere of the fixed stars. Also, behind the eighth sphere is the heavenly light of the Divine which shines through the crystal sphere and appears as stars. The All-Seeing Eye symbolizes illumination and was originally an emblem of Maat, the Egyptian goddess of justice.
She is identified with the Greek goddess Ananke, the Strong Fate, who guides the destiny of the universe and is the Spindle of Necessity upon which all the spheres of heaven revolved. The two males reclining near the feet of Sophia represent the sacred king and his deputy who each ruled for one half of the year.
This corresponds to the Ancient Poetic Theme: the God of the Waxing Year constantly striving against the God of the Waning Year for the love of the Triple Goddess. One male sits near the point of the winter solstice, known as the Gate of the Gods, where the soul ascends upon the solar path to the heavenly realm of spirit.
The other male sits near the point of the summer solstice, known as the Gate of Men, where the soul descends upon the lunar path to the physical realm of matter. Both of these cycles harmoniously complement each other as the eternally revolving Wheel of Life, or Zodiac. The stars around the moon and beneath of dove are five-pointed pentacles.
These are associated with the goddess Venus, as her planet forms a five-Pointed star within the circIe of the zodiac every eight years. Around the head of Sophia are six-pointed stars which symbolize the union of masculine and feminine energies. To her right is a lily which is her sacred flower and symbolizes both purity and innocence.
To her left is a lotus, the Eastern Counterpart to the lily, which also represents enlightenment. Near the locus is a crown, which symbolizes divinity, sovereignty, power, and royalty. Finally, in her right open hand hays a book, the universal symbol of knowledge and wisdom. The ouroboros gracing the cover often represents self-reflectivity or cyclically, in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, or the eternal return.
