Any Witches Here Part 5.

[speakout]

Or Wiccans. or Pagans? Or anyone who is interested in a magical path or feels some magical stirrings.

A place for support, learning, swapping ideas and magical inspiration

All welcome.

Good morning everyone. Speakout it's nice to read your posts and so good to see that some good fortune happening.

Like so many of you, I am emotionally and physically depleted. I have some further commitments to attend to this morning which have kept me awake, tossing and turning last night. I'm going to do a quick tarot just for some advice and I will use my quartz pendulum. Later I will do some candle magic just for me as it will be the first time in almost 2 weeks that I've had any privacy. I hate anxiety and I am full of it right now but I'm hoping by the end of the day it will subside.

Wishing you all a peaceful day.

Good morning

Sokere

I hope your obligations go smoothly.

Anxiety is a horrible beast. I have it largely under control now- and have done for several years, but I do sympathise hugely.

I hope you find some peace this evening.

Morning fellow witches, there are some outstanding astrological events this year on a par with the planetary alignments of 1962.
There will be fireworks and big changes this year and for the next few years on a par with the so called Age of Aquarius so watch this space.

Oh do tell, I haven't done much research on that front yet, it would be good if you could let us know of any big events.

Good morning everyone. Sorry to hear so many of you are suffering from depleted energy and exhaustion. Sending love and healing to you all 🙏

I'm feeling really good and refreshed after the break. Not having a large family meant I had very few social commitments, so have had a chance to really relax and recharge. My challenge now is how to prevent myself from becoming exhausted and ill again, like I was at the before Christmas.

I know that my job isn't good for me and will be looking out for a new one. In the meantime, I need to find a way of protecting myself from some of the negative people I work with and the rather toxic office I'm in! I'd love to smudge the whole place, but obviously I can't do that! Do any of you have any suggestions of what else I could do?

Madcatlady
I'd love to know more about the astrological events happening this year!

I am glad to hear your "mission for better care" is working.

Lovely to see your powers in action.
And great to see staff are responing in a positive way.
All magical ( and practical of course) energies will be helpful, whether it is a sigil drawn into a card, a charged crystal left nearby, spellwork at home, a tissue infused with magical oil under a pillow.
All these things combine to make powerful energy.

Sending you positive thoughts.

Has anyone noticed the days are starting to draw out? Yesterday it didn't start getting dark till about 4.15 here. Only a fortnight ago it was pitch black at that time, I know it's only a small difference but it really does feel like Spring is on the horizon.

This morning we also had a fantastic view of the moon and Venus. Such beauty in the world!

It's been a bright day here so feels a little sptring like- sunset here is still about 15.50.
A tiny part of me is thinking towards Imbolc, but I am enjoying the cold right now.
Frost hasn;t liftede here at all all day, in fact only become thicker, it will be another cold night.
Temperature was minus 7 this morning-- I may leave my heating on a touch tonight.

Having that New Year steak pie at last! Just a day late,

So just did my candle magic and still have the tingling/trance /glow like feeling (do you know what I mean?) and it feels nice.

Earlier this morning when I was using my quartz pendulum I could 'see' the energy around the crystal. Is that something you recognise too? Like dancing waves... hard to describe. I'm wondering if that's just common to everyone.

I'm so glad to be back doing magic and in our magical world. I've missed it and realised that it is actually now a part of me. A part of my life that I cannot be away from for too long.

Sending you all love and gratitude for everything you've taught mexx

Ps... Yes, I sense the lightness too. It is uplifting.

Sokere

Your post gave me a warm glow.

Glad to hear you sounding more settled.

I am too- had a lovely afternoon just pottering about.

Sokere it's lovely to have you back with us. I can totally relate to what you're saying. Magic is a part of us and we feel like a part of us is missing when we're taken away from it world.

I'm working on protecting myself from the negative energy in my workplace. My desk area now feels much better. I've drawn an invisible field round myself to protect from the clutter and chaos that other people seem to surround themselves with!

Thank you both xx

I am still so tired, but much happier.

I'll let you all know more over the weekend, I'm off to see my friend who is the expert - I'm pretty clueless about this - she has done all of the charts and is very excited.
Watch this space

Just catching up with the day’s posts and I’m struck by a palpable sense strength and resilience amongst our moot. Through ups and downs, and whilst negotiating the waves of circumstances and emotions I think there’s a wonderful power here. You’re an inspiring lot- thank you!

Thank you for the good wishes for my current work to improve my family’s circumstances. speakout at the time of your earlier post and sending me positive thoughts- I was having a very successful meeting with my DM, her care providers and doctor. I got everything I asked for with ease!

I worked on amping up my aura, wore colour correspondences and scent to work the magic- following an energy boosting bath ritual I tucked some moss agate into my bra and asked for support from my (deceased) DF. ‘Come on dad, let’s go and sort this out for mum’ I said as I left the house. In the car I visualised a positive outcome in exact detail, drawing in the cooperative energy of those who I had selected as ‘allies’. I also visualised a temporary ‘binding’ of those who were not so helpful to my cause.

When I arrived I found my DM up and in good spirits. (She’s been pretty much bed bound for weeks) The first thing she said to me was ‘what are you up to- you’ve been asking your DF to stick his nose in?!’ I took that as confirmation that all was going to plan. Everything flowed with ease and I didn’t have to fight for anything. I don’t think I’ve ever had such an easy experience. Those who were ‘not on my side’ stayed out of the way until I had everything in place.

The sun was shining and I was able to take my DM out for a coffee (this is a minor miracle given how unwell she’s been) when we got there the cafe was closing. The owner stayed open for us and made us very welcome. We both like to look at the sea. There’s a particular bench by the cafe that has a lovely view- as we left the cafe I could see that people were sitting on it. I thought of Elphame talking about getting served first at the bar and of the book I’ve been reading. I asked them politely in my mind to move- they did. As we got to the bench DM said to me ‘you just cleared that bench for us’ I can only conclude that the energy i’d generated for the day was apparent to her- it was affirming if a bit unnerving!

I’m moving forward with strengthened belief in my plan. Thank you so much for the support and suggestions 💜

I am so delighted to hear that your day went so well, you are whipping up a storm here!

Your power is manifest.
Hearing your story gave me goosebumps.

I am glad your DM is feeling good today.

Thank you so much speakout it does feel good. It’s good to record things going well for times when it feels difficult I think- a reminder of how powerful we can be in our magic. The support I have here helps me so much with this

In other magical news of the day- through a series of unlikely circumstances a copy of spell book I bought but lent out never to be returned around 20 years ago made it’s way back to me today. I’ve always just gone with what I feel with books with no real idea of what’s credible etc but I have a soft spot for this series of books, probably because they found me fairly early on in my journey:

Attached are a couple of simple protection/ strengthening rituals/spells that I wanted to share with you all. I’m particularly fond of the oak bath

Yashmis that was so wonderful to read. I'm so pleased for you. What a result!

Thank you for the protection spells.I will have a good look at them.

Madcatlady can't wait to hear what your friend has to say!

Once again, I'm in awe of the power and energy of this thread. I'm honoured to be learning from you all 🙏

YashmisCrone

Thank you for that- I was looking through those books the other day- the ones with the velvet covers?

I am just thinking how your Mum is sensing this magical work you are doing- how lovely to be able to help her on a different level.

VioletCharlotte

We are blessed and the group is stregnthened by having you here.

I'm working on protecting myself from the negative energy in my workplace. My desk area now feels much better. I've drawn an invisible field round myself to protect from the clutter and chaos that other people seem to surround themselves with!

I used to keep a piece of clear quartz on the PC box and a piece of pink quartz to hand. A little while ago someone gave me a rounded metal heart which is just the right size to hold in my hand when I feel like I need friends' support.

Thank you. I agree with speakout, Violet, we are blessed and your energy adds greatly to that.

Yes, the velvet covered ones speakout my friend, at the opposite end of the country found this one in a charity shop- it had a postcard inside from where I live- she decided it must be meant for me and sent it to me!

It’s really interesting my mum is so clearly picking up the magic and stating it in such a matter of fact way. Amusing really considering her staunch Christian belief system.. that said, magic, strong intuition and divination were prevalent amongst the women in her family going back a generation. It’s like as her mind ‘deteriorates’ in a way (she was convinced she was 25 last time I saw her) the magic that’s inherent comes to the fore.. There are definitely gems to be found amongst adversity. Our relationship was so difficult for so long, I’m taking them as a gift to be treasured

Yashmis that's so lovely to hear about your mum. When my Nan was close to passing, the magic inside her came to the fore. It's like all the barriers to it that have been put up over the years are stripped away and the true self is revealed.

Toomanypaws thank you. I've been thinking of putting a couple of crystals on my desk to protect me.
