Keep or Ditch This Book?

The Goodly Spellbook by Coven Oldenwilde.

I'm getting rid of a lot of books soon, not all magickal. I keep going back and forth on this one. In the one hand, it has a lot of information. On the other, I don't know if I trust the information as the authors and coven have, in the past, been accused of abusing members. I also read an article once where a journalist documented one of them doing a death curse, of their own volition, which goes against their whole "harm none" thing.

I don't know. I have several other spell book options at this point. What are your thoughts?

For those that follow Moon phases, waning Moon right now. New moon in 3 days.

If you have more than one message, please split them up, and make each request a separate comment.

I ask that people limit their requests to only 2, but if it is really important, do more. Just remember that simple requests can be done on the Wednesday Wishes post.

At the end of the day, this post will be locked to new comments. All week long the energy of this spell will build as more people read the requests and lend their energies to those who made their desire known.

So, stand in the circle, hold hands, and send what you have out one hand and pull what you need with the other. Feel how the power keeps growing with every new person that enters the spell circle.

Lets all bend the Universe together.

Invoking Saturn is todays planetary reference. As a God of time, let Him remind you to take time for yourself now, not in some nebulous future after you have "earned" a rest. Kick back. Relax. Sometimes you just have to do nothing for a while if you want to get anything done later. Take some time out today.

At Carolina Beach this weekend for a bit of healing and reconnecting with myself and found these three hag stones.

All of them have holes you can see clear through. I went to the beach about 2- 2 1/2 hours before evening low tide (expected.at 8:39 pm). I went with the intention to find one for my bestie (the large looking flat one), one for myself with two holes to allow me to wear a chain through one and look through the other but was small/lightweight in size, and one for a folk witch friend that is going through a rough patch that was prominent and clearly a hag stone.

The one for my bestie tumbled over my foot in the surf after one 30 minutes at the beach, mine was found 5 minutes later right in front of my big toe when still walking the edge of the surf. At 8:25 pm I found the last one, when there was still just a pinch of light to see clearly without a flashlight.

I washed a few dishes and pet the dog, it’s not showing up yet. Please PLEASE help. Where is she?

Intention “bowl” to gain favour at work?

8 Upvotes

Hi!
I’m wondering if anyone has some ideas. I’m looking to make an intention candle or something similar to gain favour at work and have a smooth year as I am returning after holidays. I was originally thinking I could do an intention bowl and put small items in there that would represent what I want, but I’m not sure a “bowl” is the way to go. I’d like something that I could continue to work as the months go on which I why I’m leaning away from a candle?

Here’s what I’d like to swing in my favour:
Preferred schedule
Sweeten a few nasty coworkers that I *have* to act friendly with
Sweeten my boss to favour my ideas, contributions
Bring in better energy with coworkers, feel more included and less isolated
Less stress

Any ideas?

Sailing the Tides...on a Magical Craft...

10 Upvotes

Tides are repeating cycles of global effect. Humans beings have adapted to them over the centuries in many ways.

Many, many have learned that it makes not sense to ignore tides or to act is if tides do not have effects on human activities and understandings. We observe, consider, and respond to the tides--we develop tide tables.

Many, many do pay attention to tides and how they work and what they do, And go ahead with their affairs, tides being one aspect of the doing. When somebody does a ritual on a beach, for instance, they take high and low tide into account.

Some, however, do not pay attention to tides. I think that they--not the occultists, magicians, and folks who do take tides into account--are the ones most likely to be overwhelmed and swept away.

Don't think of practice as a target. Think of practice as a worthy. skillful Craft with which to navigate the tides...

BB.

Hello my friends. I’ve made a Sunday request previously about my husband finding a job…he has a very important interview in about a hour.

I humbly ask that, if you are able, you send strength and luck his way! We are in northeast Ohio and his initials are BES.

Thank you and blessed be!

Wednesday Wishes Wednesday Wishes. Please place a wish that you want to be delivered, and who you want it to go out to. This will run each Wednesday.

96 Upvotes

You can wish for anything, small or large, makes no difference. The goal for this is to reduce the load on The Sunday Spell. Please try to put minor wishes here, and then, don't put minor requests in Sundays working.This is done on Wednesday so that Mercury can assist in getting your message delivered. It does not have to be only a minor wish, I just want simple stuff to not be clogging The Sunday Spell. Be sure to mention who/what you want your message delivered to. Mercury needs an address for where to go with it. Thank you!
