things to pay attention to during a venus retrograde

your partner! this is a big one here as venus is the planet of relationships, particularly romantic and sensual ones. make sure you’re ready for all issues to surface and be resolved.

your finances! venus is also the planet of material wealth. this isn’t a time to fool around with your money. be more frugal and know the worth of what you’re buying and selling.

your diet! venus is indulgence and she loves her sweets. keep a look out to what you’re putting into your body as it’s really important here for natives for potential glandular issues.

business dealings! venus isn’t just romantic relationships, it’s all partnerships, so make sure if you have a business partner, that you’re ready for any issues to arise.

art and music! this is a good time for artists to really look back and refine their sense of style, be cautious of new things in this area, and if you’re an artist, be careful for any issues that may arise concerning your art.

crushes and exes! past crushes or love interests or exes may spring back up on you at this time. this is not to worry you, but rather resolve issues/feelings that weren’t resolved in the beginning.

neck and lower back! venus has prescence over these two parts of the body. make sure your kidneys are doing alright and your throat is nice and silky. may be a time for sore throats and kidney stones/infections.

Why Yule Needs to Stay Creepy

“…There’ll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago…”

So I have been thinking about our Contemporary conceptualization of the Christmas season a lot lately and it’s kind of interesting. So many things we associate with Christmas – Christmas trees, greeting cards, Santa Claus, his reindeer and elves, gift-giving in general – all of these things came into vogue in the 19th Century and are very sticky-sweet, in my opinion. They’re lovely, but not filling. If we just scratch the surface of the Christmas we know and love and peek back into its history, we find something much meatier.

Before the cheerful Christmas tree, a number of other plants were associated with Christmas. The holly, associated with sacrifice and the blood of Christ, and the parasitic mistletoe, associated with the death of Baldur in Norse mythology – these were the plants associated with Christmas before the Christmas tree became the standard.

Also, the Yule log. The Yule log, meant to provide light on the darkest night of the year, was a magic charm in and of itself. If it did not burn through the night, it would be a terrible omen. By watching the fire and coals of the Yule log, one could also predict who would give birth and who would die in the coming year.  

When our simple Santa Claus is reduced to his predecessors, one is left with Odin, ancient Norse God of battle, Saint Nicholas, the canonized former bishop of Turkey, and Father Christmas, the hard-drinking gluttonous representation of holiday merriment. And all of them brought ghastly friends – Odin, the spirits of the Wild Hunt and Saint Nicholas, his helpers (including Knecht Rupert, Krampus, etc.). Father Christmas, more of a personification of the season than a night visitor, undoubtedly brought many hangovers.

Before stories about reindeer, snowmen, or things of that ilk, there were ghost stories. Charles Dickens did not invent the Christmas ghost story in “A Christmas Carol,” but popularized an already-existing folkloric trend. If we look to the old tales of Christmas, we find stories about witches that rode the night air, cursing the birth of the Savior. There are stories about fairies, ghosts, and Devils that wreak havoc, frightening livestock and damaging property. In an era before television or radio, homemade storytelling was one of the primary forms of entertainment. And winter was the storytelling season.

You also have mumming, wassailing, and caroling – dressing up in colorful costumes and (sometimes drunkenly) begging for money door-to-door. As John Grossman notes in his book “Christmas Curiosities,” Christmas before the Contemporary Period resembles our Halloween more than it resembles the Christmas we know now.

Let us not forget, those of us who acknowledge the Wheel of the Year, that the season of darkness extends from Halloween to Christmas. This darkness only begins to fade when we gain back the Sun at the Winter Solstice. From Halloween to Christmas, the dead may roam the Earth and weird things may happen. In his classic “Mastering Witchcraft,” Paul Huson notes that Yule is not a time for pleasant spell work, but cursing! It is a time of dark magic and mystery. And we need this time. To understand the light, we must understand the darkness – the witches, ghosts, and Devils of the old Yuletide. Like the trees that go dormant, we must embrace the darkness of winter to grow and thrive.

The Natal Chart and The sexual landscape 🎻

Your moon sign and 4th house sign is often a good reference point for what you need to feel emotionally involved whilst having sex and also your emotional expression during.

Your sun sign and 5th house sign is a good reference point for what you need in order to be physically aroused in a more primal way.

Your mars sign and rising sign is a good reference point for what you need in order to preform sexually and or how you preform in a sexual setting.

Your mercury sign and 3rd house sign is a good reference point for how you intiate sexual banter and or how you pillow talk and like to be spoken to in order to be put into a sexual mood.

Your venus sign and 7th house sign is a good reference for hot spots, and sensual turn ons for you as well as where and how you pleasure others and prefer to be pleasured in order to feel loved or have a climax(gentle)

Your Pluto sign and 8th house sign is a good reference for how and what you need in order to feel transformation through sex, and also what causes your most intense orgasams. This is also a factor into what and how you have sex once you’ve committed to another person completely(note these are rarely activated)

Your Jupiter and 9th house sign is a good indicator of where you lack limits or boundaries sexually and where you might struggle with excess when it comes to sex! Ex: Virgo might show you have a hard time not including sex in the daily routine and may even grow to demanding of it once you start doing. Ex. Aries might show you can grow to large of an appetite for sex that your partner cannot keep up and so on. Ex Scorpio might mean that you have a over the top energy towards sex that can gradually undermine your sexual partner.

Your Uranus and your 11th house sign is a good reference for your experimental tendencies and hidden kinks, it’s what you’re willing to try but also what you might be the most detached in when it comes to sex. This is often going to show an opposite or watered down version of that signs expression unless it’s Aquarius or Capricorn. So for ex. Leo here might mean you like to experiment with praise and worship sex but might also be detached about the whole ordeal since you’re only “experimenting with the idea” if you have Capricorn you might experiment with domination themes but might have a more laid back approach to it than a normal cap mars or cap moon ect would.

Your Neptune and your 12th house sign are a good refence point for your UNCONCIOUS sexual behavior. This is what you see in your wet dreams or sexual dreams and often is sexual behavior you naturally already have ingrained or pre-programmed to act out. This in most cases is a starting point for your sexual nature and often is your “real” sexual nature that overruns all else especially when you are at an elevated state of mind. This is how you have sex under the influence, this is emotional sex, sad sex or even sex that you have with someone whom awakens your 12th house.

Saturn and your 10th house sign are sexual hangups, this is what limits you from experiencing sex to the fullest! It’s the 10th house of the public so this can often relate Barriers from achieving climax or sexual unity. For ex. Having Pisces here might mean emotional blockage can be an issue to climax. Sagittarius can mean flightiness or the fear of committing to the sexual act itself can be scary(due to the intimacy) or even religious blockage can play a role. Aries can show that the “self” or “issues with the way one views themselves” can block sexual climax.

Your moon and the house it sits in can give insight to where you prefer to have sex and also the type of sexual partner that you feel the most comfortable with on an emotional level. This is what you deeply desire to feel safe and secure while having sex and what brings out your more nurturing side! Those who don’t meet this requirements normally aren’t really having “sex” with you.

Your sun and the house it sits in can give insight as to when and where you’ll feel most aroused and what normally you are aroused by in others.

Your mars and the house it sits in can give insight as to what you need in order to stay stimulated sexually and also your secondary sexual personality(how you go about having sex once the initial moments are done)

Your mercury and the house it sits in can give you insight as to what you go about seducing your bedroom partner as well as how you yourself actively try to keep the bedroom energy. Mercury in the 9th might try to keep their partner happy or laughing to provoke intimacy, mercury in the 2nd might try to keep things sensual and charming by sweet talking.

Your venus and the house it sits in can give deeper insight as to how and where you prefer to be touched and in what fashion. Venus in the 12th May prefer gentle touching or very tender intimacy. Venus in the 8th May prefer intense intimacy and or smothering durning sex. It’s also in a bigger sense what it needed in order to orgasm(once again as mentioned in a gentle way)

Pluto and the house it sits in quite literally is your G-spot. It’s how you “really have sex” and In a sense it’s house can show the requirements for you to enjoy sex to its fullest extent. Regardless it’s how you have sex when you’re in love, head over heels. Normally Pluto’s house is very important and can give insight on what someone needs in order to have their most POWERFUL orgasms on an individual level with or without a partner. Ex Pluto in the 9th May need or prefer deep penetration or multiple rounds of intercourse in one setting in order to truly achieve their greates orgasms. Pluto in the 5th May need passion and a romantic element and so on.

Jupiter and the house it sits in can be where you achieve your “spiritual awakening” through sex. It’s the morning after in a sense. So Jupiter’s house mainly describes that initial bliss you feel after a good sexual encounter and that relaxed and often stress free feeling the next day. Having it in the 1st can mean it reinvigorates your sense of self and makes you more confident and proud. Jupiter in the 10th can mean it keeps you level headed in the work place and allows you to preform even better.

Uranus and the house it sits in can be where you are “unable” to detach from sex. Supringly Uranus and the 11th house on their own speak more so as where you may detach easily but the house placement of Uranus shows where sexually that may not be so easy. Uranus in the 12th can find it hard not to disconnect their emotions and psyche. Uranus in the 8th can find it difficult not to invite their baggage or intensity into the mix.

Neptune and the house it Sits in can be how you act sexually at your most vulnerable moments. This is the sex you had when you first lost your virginity, this can be the way you have sex when you’re meeting someone new or even when you’re extremely emotionally stimulated. This is often sex with an emotional layer backing it.

Saturn and the house it sits in can be how you “physically” touch or fondle another during sex! It’s a more earthy aspect to it so often it can describe how you yourself go about achieving intimacy through touch or use of the more physical aspects of relating to another. Think of the houses as body parts in this case.

A Beginner’s Guide to Candle Magic

The very first spell that most folks cast happens on our birthdays. Someone lovingly purchases or bakes a cake for us and candles, representing our age, are placed on top. Those candles are lit and as we close our eyes, we are told to make a silent wish and blow them out.

Many believe that this tradition dates back to ancient pagan rituals. Our birthdays were considered to be important since they marked our entry into this world. The candles on the cake held great force and power and, once blown out, the wish was carried by the smoke and sent to the gods. The gods, in turn, would receive the message and grant the wish.

Candles are integral to spell-casting and are arguably the best and most inexpensive way to get started. Most of us have a supply of candles or tealights in our homes, and some light them at night while having dinner, reading a book or writing. However, candles symbolize elements - earth, air, water and fire and, if you have a desire in mind, all you need is fire and the intent to make it happen.

Choosing and cleansing your candles

It’s important to magically disinfect your candles before use - most are mass-produced across the world, often in less-than-ideal conditions and, because wax is a vessel for energy, every person that has come into contact with your candle has effectively deposited some of their energy into the wax.

There are many ways to cleanse candles before a spell and most folks have a ritual that works for them. Some people enjoy a prolonged ceremony of candle cleansing while others leave them in the garden to soak up moonlight. Below is a method of cleansing referred to as “anointing” and involves water and oils to prepare the candle before the ritual begins.

Step 1: Wipe Clean

Wipe the wax with a paper towel, removing all traces of debris and dust.

Step 2: Prepare a solution

Mix salt and water into a saucepan on medium heat. Once the salt dissolves, let cool.

Step 3: Intent

Standing in front of the sink, hold the candle in your left hand. Pour a small amount of the saline solution over the candle, being careful not to wet the wick. Take a fresh paper towel and dry thoroughly while saying:

“This magickal water cleanses thee,

With good intent and purity.”

Step 4: Inscribing

With a small paring knife or needle, scratch your full name and your goal into the wax. It doesn’t matter where you inscribe the words, and it’s not important that they’re particularly legible. Once the candle is lit, these words will burn away and give the spell more clout.

Step 5: Anointing

Pour some vegetable oil into a small bowl. You can feel free to mix in herbs that are associated with your spell’s intent. Hold the candle in your left hand again. Dip the first finger of your right hand into the oil and run it down the candle from top to bottom in a line. Say this invocation:

“This magickal oil anoints thee, with all things good, magickally.”

Step 6: Rhyming and Repetition

One of the ways we can add more power to a spell is by repeating the incantation over and over. Often, prewritten spells, both ancient and modern, will rhyme with some kind of poetic fluidity. Repetition will help enforce the message.

Step 7: Ending the spell

After repeating your spell the desired number of times, you will need to close the ritual. Choose one of the phrases below to say before looking upward and saying thank you.

“And so it is.”

“The spell is cast.”

“So mote it be.”
