Today’s Tarot Card for 3/4

Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:

The High Priestess

This Tarot Deck: Cosmic

General Meaning: Traditionally called the High Priestess, this major arcana, or trump, card represents human wisdom. She can be viewed as a kind of female Pope, the ancient Egyptian Priestess of Isis, the even older snake and bird Goddesses, the Greek Goddess Persephone, or the Eve of Genesis before the Fall.

For the accused heretics who were burnt at the stake for revering her in the 14th and 15th century, she symbolized the prophecy of the return of the Holy Spirit, which was perceived as the female aspect of the Holy Trinity.

In the sequence of cards in the major arcana, the High Priestess appears as soon as the Fool decides he wants to develop his innate powers, making a move toward becoming a Magus. The High Priestess is his first teacher, representing the Inner Life and the method for contacting it, as well as the contemplative  study of Nature and the Holy Mysteries.

New Moon Report for 3/4: New Moon in Pisces

 

New Moon in Pisces

Friday, March 4, 12:46 pm PST, 3:46 pm EST

The New Moon in Pisces initiates a fresh cycle of spiritual awareness and an awakening of compassion and creativity. Assertive Mars’ close proximity to this Sun-Moon conjunction adds a gentle push to help make the magic happen. Oceanic Pisces carries us with waves of emotion that may sometimes feel overwhelming, but if we learn to go with the flow instead of fighting it, we’ll find the currents to carry us to higher ground. Aiming too low or merely trying to get by gets us lost in swamps of self-pity and impotence, instead of soaring with the wings of faith and imagination.

The New Moon in spiritual Pisces sows seeds of imagination and faith. It’s a time for dreams, some of which will dissipate like clouds but others may gather strength and deliver on their promises. Letting minds wander is not a waste of energy or a mere distraction; it’s the ground from which great ideas can grow.

Daily Horoscopes for 3/4

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The compassionate Pisces Moon dissolves the apparent boundaries between each of us. As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces symbolizes the loss of ego and the selflessness that serves the greater cosmos. A total of six planets in this sensitive sign can be a bit confusing as imagination overwhelms reality. Ironically, the Pisces New Moon at 3:45 pm EST sets a new emotional cycle into motion, diminishing the division between ends and beginnings.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It doesn’t matter how excited you are about a current project or a social cause, you still may withdraw from the front lines as today’s New Moon highlights your 12th House of Spirituality. Worldly success is less interesting now as your intuition speaks to you in ways that draw your attention inward. There’s no need for concern; this temporary state of contemplation will only inspire you to greater heights.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your priorities are changing and today’s New Moon in your 11th House of Future is just another reminder that what’s ahead is more important than whatever is happening right now. It’s not that current events don’t need your attention; it’s just that your long-term goals go a long way to infuse your life with meaning. Don’t stress about what you do to pay the rent. Instead, dream of ways to align your work with a larger spiritual purpose.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be feeling quite successful today with the charismatic Pisces New Moon activating your 10th House of Career. Others see you as larger than life now, even if you secretly fear that another person could take over your leadership role in an instant. It’s useless to waste time worrying about things you can’t control. Nothing is to be gained by making comparisons; a smarter strategy is to simply show up and give it everything you got.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may be uncertain about what comes next, your willingness to express your emotions clearly can still help you get what you want. Others may be surprised by your boldness as you take over a complicated situation that appears to be beyond anyone’s control. Luckily, you receive an energetic boost from the New Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Don’t just talk about what you can do; make it happen.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The sensitive Pisces New Moon influences your 8th House of Intimacy, making you less satisfied in any partnership where the other person doesn’t match your level of intensity. You may not have a wide spectrum of responses when it comes to expressing your current intentions. For now, it’s either all or nothing with very few options falling in between. Thankfully, you can lessen your disappointment by acknowledging that your expectations may be somewhat warped today. Things are not as extreme as they seem.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s not that your efforts don’t count today; there is always something else that you can do to improve upon what’s already been done. But now you aren’t that interested in tackling a project by yourself. The New Moon in your 7th House of Partners reminds you that sharing the responsibilities also means sharing in the recognition and the rewards, so be flexible in your negotiations with others. A mutually beneficial agreement can contribute nicely to your success.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You feel as if you’re coming off a creative high now and you may become frustrated as the energy begins to wane. Keep in mind that it’s time to shift gears as today’s New Moon in your 6th House of Work reveals an increasing need to be practical. Making something original isn’t sufficient; it must also be useful. However, in your haste for efficiency, don’t forget about the value of beauty just for the sake of artistic expression.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your sensual desires may be aroused by the emotional Pisces New Moon in your 5th House of Romance. However, there are many ways to creatively express what’s in your heart. Consider starting a project simply for the enjoyment it could bring. Instead of scheming to achieve success today, give yourself permission to act spontaneously without concern for acknowledgment or financial remuneration.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s New Moon activates your 4th House of Psychological Roots, yet you might not be comfortable with reconnecting to some aspect of your personal history. You would rather shoot your arrow toward the horizon, yet current circumstances may prevent you from progressing as quickly as you prefer. Don’t waste time daydreaming about your past; instead, use your imagination to tell others what makes you feel excited about the future. Looking ahead with passion could be enough to set you back on track.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be blessed with the support you want from close friends and acquaintances today as the New Moon emphasizes your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. You are progressing along a path that’s illuminated by what you learn from others. The very same people who have been in your life in other roles are now becoming your teachers. However, you have to be willing to listen without turning anyone into a guru or setting someone up onto a pedestal.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be inclined to ask for a long overdue raise or to increase the rate you charge for your services today. Even if you deserve more money, current circumstances suggest that you must be patient if you are to get what you want. However, the psychic Pisces New Moon falls in your 2nd House of Personal Possessions, so trust your intuition when it comes to creating a plan to augment your income.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Pisces New Moon affects you strongly today. You like to consider yourself part of the greater whole, so individualism can often be rather confusing for you. Nevertheless, you may feel the need to be alone now, making interactions with your friends and co-workers more challenging than usual. Instead of waiting to see how others react, try expressing yourself more spontaneously. You can always join back up with the school of other Fish later on.

How to Meet a Real Witch

How to Meet a Real Witch

Mar 3, 2011 Charlz dela Cruz

If you are really interested in practicing Witchcraft and would like to meet a real Witch, here are the helpful and tested tips you can do:

If you are interested in the practice of Witchcraft, it could be beneficial for you to have a friend who has long been engaged in the Craft. She can guide you along the magical path and she might eventually even be your best friend. But where can you find a real Witch whom you can trust?

Online Help

Thanks to the advancement of technology, finding a Witch who might even be your neighbor can now easily be done at the comfort of your own home. There are various online sites you can try; and Witchvox is one of the best websites which the author can recommend.

Witchvox.com is an online site with numerous listings of Pagans, Witches, Sorcerers, and all other people engaged in the arts magical. People who are listed therein come from different countries around the world. You can view their profiles; which means that you can know more about them; you can even send them an email via the same site.

Attend Gatherings

A Witch gathering is exactly what the name implies: A special event where Witches gather together. Many Witches do not anymore live in hiding; schedules of events in relation to the Occult Arts are, from time to time, being posted and shared with other people, especially online. Again, Witchvox is an excellent site for this. Usually, a gathering is open to all Witches regardless of what path they follow. Most of the time, even people who are merely interested in the practice of Witchcraft may also attend the said gathering. Hence, it is an excellent opportunity to meet people who share the same Magickal interest and passion as you. Moreover, once you attend a gathering(even just once), you will easily meet so many practitioners already; you can take the opportunity to befriend them and perhaps contact them and schedule for a more personal meeting.

Contact a Coven

There is a good chance that there might be a coven(a group of Witches) in the city where you live. If you can manage to get the contact number of any of its members, you can easily call or text them about your concern. Do not worry, many Witches are very friendly(perhaps even much friendlier than you are).

Ask a Friend

Of all your friends, perhaps even just one of them knows somebody who is honestly deeply engaged in the practice of Witchcraft. If not personally, he might still be able to give you a lead towards someone who is.

Invite a Friend

If there is really no way possible to meet a good and credible Witch and you are very eager to have a Witch-friend with you. You may invite a friend who also shares the same passion as you to your home. Eventually, the two of you may find yourselves already deep into the Craft. You need not to look far; perhaps your best friend is that Witch-soon-to-be you are looking for.

Cast a Spell

Cast a spell that will bring you the Witch that you want to meet. Ask the multiverse for help and guidance. Have faith. It is not so hard; and it works.

Wear a Pentacle

A necklace with a pentacle pendant is usually worn by Witches not only for magical purposes but also for the advantage of being identified as a Witch. If your intuition says so, you may try to approach people who wear the said symbol. You can even wear one for yourself and perhaps that Witch you are looking for will be the one to introduce herself to you.

Be Open

Let the universe take its natural course and just be open to it. Join even just an online group related to Witches. Who knows, that friendly Witch might be the one looking and waiting for you. Be open.

Afterword

There are many ways to meet a Witch just as there are countless of means to meet another person. In your dealings, be careful and know if it is safe to meet a particular person. Moreover, somehow unfortunately, the world is filled with people who claim to be Witches but do not really know what they are talking about. Again, be careful.

Meeting another person who is also deeply engaged in the same calling as you could be beneficial and it can be very fun. However, it is not a requirement to become a Witch; and meeting more, and more practitioners of the Craft will never make you more-of-a-Witch. If you are a Witch, then you are.

Have fun.

Blessed be.

Meditation Thought for 3/4

Friday 4 March 2011

Meditation knows nothing of distraction.
That’s its grace, its beauty, its grandeur:
nothing can disturb it.
If your meditation can be disturbed
that simply means that you are concentrating
and have not yet tasted meditation.
