Hello everyone….sorry for the ranting about Algebra right at the beginning of the podcast!! Guess I just needed to vent my frustrations:) Thank you all for the constant downloads….You all do a good job at making me feel all warm and cozy inside!!
Music heard during this episode were Cauldron of Changes by Lindie Lila and the background music during the paranormal segment was Halloween. Both can be found on the Podsafe Music Network;)
Moving into Lesson 11: Correspodences, we learn the basics concerning the associations between spellwork and which day of the week to perform certain spells. Even the phase of the moon has to be considered. In addition to this, we also learn about the color correspondences. For example: Blue represents healing, peace communication, creativity. The lesson provides information about Spoken Spells. This is great for people who love words and poetry. We learn further information concerning candle magic. We learn what the term “dressing” the candle means. As for anointing oils, this can be obtained at your local metaphysical shop or can be ordered from a catalog and from the internet. You can also make you own by doing the following:
- Start with a small amount of oil, about 1 or 2 oz. (Sunflower, safflower, or almond oil)
- Place 1/2 to 1 tsp. of the herb of your choice into the oil.
- Let stand for a week in a dark, coll place.
- Strain the oil and store in a sterilized, opaque bottle.
- Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and moisture.
By making the oil yourself, you have added your personal energy to the oil and thus to the spell:)
We also learn in this lesson about the magical correspondences of common herbs and spices. For example: Cactus represents protection and Gardenia represents love, passion. Much of this information can be found by searching the internet. I hope to have a listing of the herbs and their magical and healing properties on the website at some point in the future. The book goes briefly into Protection Spells and explains how to make your own bath salts. Lastly, we learn about Omens. The key to omens is to may attention to messages in your everyday life. You never know when these messages will appear for you. In can be on a page of a book, a bumper sticker, or even in the clouds, you never know until you realize…ha ha…now I get it!!
Hot Topic:
As for the topic introduced in Episode 10 on seances and Ouija boards, I only received one piece of feedback. Elaine was in agreement with me that Ouija boards are not “evil” but when using one you have to be serious and protect yourself accordingly.
For the new Hot Topic which will discussed on Episode 14 is as follows:
On the subject of correspondences, when is substitution able to be done without making your spell work turn into a disaster? Sometimes you simply don’t have all the items needed for a particular spell like a certain herb or a certain candle color. Also, if you have been in this situation before, what did you do? Did the spell still work using a substitution or were there consequences for using a substitution.
Paranormal Segment:
I share with you the current situation I am dealing with at my home. I have one pacing spirit on the front porch that apparently likes to peek into the window on a nightly basis. This happens every night. He has been loud a couple of times but mostly he just paces. Ironically enough, he is never around while I am recording the podcast. This is the spirit of my husband’s uncle who died in the house, I think anyway!! There has also been a second presence inside our home. I have seen a dark figure crawl across our kitchen floor and sitting in the computer chair in my bedroom. My youngest son has also seen this spirit walk by his bedroom door. Though this particular spirit feels intimidating, I really don’t feel threatened but I don’t feel all happy either. They are here possibly trying to figure who we are and why we are here. As long as I don’t feel threatened by them, they are welcome to stay:)
Thank you all for continuously showing your support.
Blessed Be,
