"Full moon October 27 in Taurus" by Patty Shaw.

It will break your heart to look at all those unfinished brilliant ideas.

When I wrote my first book I was terrified to pick up the phone and make a sale. It was ridiculous and the longer I put it off the harder it got. My get ’er done saboteur was a terrible salesperson.

 

How I remedied that was to learn how to do a book launch and sell my book on line. Granted it took way more effort than picking up the phone, but it worked because I distracted my terrified inner salesperson with lots of “to do’s”. Like the Taurus full moon we are in right now, I surrounded myself with practical things to accomplish. Once I dug in, I tapped into what Taurus’s are most famous for, tenacity and I was able to get’er done. This never say die attitude created the forward momentum I needed to propel me through to the end.

 

If you find yourself avoiding the “doing” part of your project, don’t fret. It’s time for the Guts and Glory spell.

 

You will need:

Witches brew oil

Witches brew pillar candle

2 cinnamon sticks

A red string

4x4 piece of paper

Shot of whiskey

 

Directions:

Write your fear or challenge on the paper and write your name crosswise over the issue 5 times.

Make a simple cross doll out of the cinnamon sticks and red string. Fold the paper and make it the head of the doll. Anoint the doll with the oil, focusing on the head and heart. Spit some whisky on the doll and ask your ancestors and spirit guides for help. Light the candle every day until it is done, saying the spell every day. Put the doll next to the candle holder. Talk to the doll every day. Tell it your troubles and your gratitude’s. Ask for the strength to make it through this time. When the candle is done let the doll go into a stream or river to wash away your troubles.

"How visualization fails you…." by Jacki Smith.

If you were a performer, you would see yourself moving through the performance with all of your lines perfectly executed. If you were working on attracting something to yourself, you would visualize yourself using it over and over again. Spending 30 quiet minutes a day visualizing is optimal to visualization. Does that work for you or does that fail you?

Experts in meditation and positive thought like Jack Canfield say that visualization activates your creative subconscious, programs your brain and build your motivation. This mental rehearsal of visualization can be very powerful….. up until you neglect to act upon it.

Visualization will fail you if you never take any action. You must be the change. You must be the pole-vaulter who jumps not only every day but for hours and hours a day. You must be the performer who rehearses for hours a day. You must be the spiritual seeker that faces their sabotage, fears and limitations before their visualization has a place to manifest.

The only thing that sabotages a visualization from manifesting is fear. Fear that prevents you from taking authority over your own life and realizing that you can be successful again and again without punishment. We fear that we can’t do it and we fear that we can do it. The fear of success can be lined with old experiences of negative repercussions when you win. That can be just as debilitating as being afraid of failure.

Visualization can fail if you don’t take action to support your visualization and if you think that once is enough for any step. Visualization is a rinse and repeat kind of action and the more you do it, the more powerful your actions are. Combine those steps with tools like the Intuition Affirmation Candle, Problem Solving Blessed Herbal Candle, the Healing Blessed Herbal Oil or the High John Motor City Hoo Doo oil to help you overcome your fears and are now on the fast track to making your dreams a reality.

"New moon October 12 in Libra" by Patty Shaw.

When this happens I know I’m out of balance and I don’t even notice that I’m spending more time and energy on the nail and not the house I’m building. The wall may be crooked, but the nail is straight. Harumpf

If this describes you, take a tip from your aunt Patty and pull in some moon magic while the new moon is in Libra. It will give you a kick in the pants that’ll break the spell you are under so you can take a deep breath, look up and notice your big picture. Even if you aren’t as intense about it as I am, this new moon has the right stuff to make sure you are getting enough downtime to recharge your batteries, eating enough, staying hydrated and checking the plan one more time before you execute it. Doing the work is important and you will get much more enjoyment out of it when you let the Libra moon influence your pace and perspective. If you are knee deep in a project this new moon, light an Inner Balance Blessed Herbal Candle to enhance what you need most, balance and harmony.

"She did it again!" by Patty Shaw.

A witches union that provides new spells and new teachings in spell crafting every month! Awesome.

When she first started crafting this idea I had to leave the room. I was bursting with excitement and I knew it was not time to put my two cents in. Never one to interrupt the creative flow, I made myself busy in the factory and waited until she was done. Every once and awhile I got a sneak peak as it is her style to check in with me to bounce off her ideas. I am her creative sounding board after all. It was coming together so well. The art, the words, the spells were all so fun. “Who wouldn’t want to become a card carrying witch after they see this?” I said to myself.

By the time she was ready for the reveal everything from the membership card to the spell kits were perfect. I could tell she had a blast working it all out and I couldn’t wait to read it all. I thought to myself, wow, what a great way to connect people, Coventry Creations, and life enhancing magic. It’s something we’ve been working on for 23 years. Helping people improve the quality of their life is our passion, vision and mission.

"What it means to be a Witch" by Jacki Smith. For more come see us at Candlewickshoppe.com

Give yourself the authority over your own wellbeing - You are the decider in your life and there is nothing more magical than a choice made from intention and empowerment. If you are in a crappy situation, make a new choice every moment, every day to see your way out of it. Baby steps may be what it takes, just make sure you are stepping and not standing still. Connect with a power greater than you - You are part of a greater consciousness and the path that you choose to connect with that higher power is less important than connecting. Pagan, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Agnostic, it doesn’t matter. Dogma is more interested in the Divine than the Divine is interested in Dogma. When you seek communion with your higher power you are filling the energetic voids created by stress, grief, anger or any of the negative emotions that plague your every day. Understand the value of your ancestors - You are the culmination of all the hopes and dreams of your ancestors. Good or bad, they have paved the way for your life today and they are the spirits that are most invested in your success. Your ancestors are free of the personalities that made up their human lives and only have your highest good at heart. With every legacy left to you by your ancestors there is something to be healed and a blessing to be embraced. Don’t settle for failure, dig deeper and find what is broken - Magic is all about reaching outside of your comfort zone. If you could have, you already would have and failure is just a sign that you need to shake it up and challenge your beliefs. Witches know that a good spell makes you nervous and challenges you to be more than you think you can be. Listen to your divine self - Your divine self, or higher self is the part of you that is always connected to the Divine (by any name you use). When you are quiet and gentle with yourself you can hear the messages of your higher self and they always take you in the correct direction. The more often you take the time to meditate and listen, the louder your higher self is and easier it is to hear the guidance. Face your fears with courage - Courage is not a lack of fear, but an embracing of fear. Fear is a tool that your ego uses to stop you from doing something that threatens your sense of self. Sometimes that sense of self is damaged through experiences and needs a bit of healing, thus the need to face your fears with courage and create a new experience that writes a new sense of self. Know your boundaries - Some boundaries are for keeping and some are for breaking; know the difference. There are no hard and fast rules to guide these boundaries and your needs for them will change from year to year and experience to experience. Know that they are always moving and always important because unrestricted growth can quickly become cancer. Perform random acts of kindness - When you do kind things without reward out in the world, you build your magical bank account. Wild magic is that force at work in everyone’s life bringing luck and fortune, but it is how you feed your wild magic that will make it good or bad. Recycle or choose your act of respect for the earth we live on - Whether you believe we are guests on this earth or entitled to all that it has to offer, we have to keep it in good shape to support us. Choose your activity and let it become habit and grow. Just start with one thing, master it and make it part of your everyday. Play and allow your inner child to awaken your magic - Magic comes from your inner child. It is that innocence to trust in the universe, trust in humanity and trust that wishes do come true that magic is born from. Even in your most desperate moments you suspend all doubt and believe that miracles can happen and it is your inner child that makes this possible. Get out your crayons, coloring books and glitter and help your inner child love the world. Cast spells when you need them and be purposeful in your actions and intentions - The most powerful time to cast a spell is when you need it. You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect because life doesn’t work that way. Don’t sit there and suffer, take action when you need to and be purposeful about it. Set a clear intention and dig deep to find the issue under the symptom and craft your spell from there. Remember, magic = healing. Do the work and practice, over and over again – Magic does not work by a timer. There is no guarantee that 3 days from now you will get a $100,000 check because you cast a spell. You do your work, set your intent, light your candles, wear your oils, arrange your crystals and see what happens and then do it over and over again. You do all this while you go out there into the world and do the physical work that supports the energy that you put into your spell. When you do both, you spell manifests faster and you find the errors quicker. Start every day with gratitude - Gratitude is magic on steroids. When you start every day and every spell be being grateful for the bounty in your life you are infusing it with jet fuel. Any moment that sets you off into a downward spiral can be rerouted by a quick recounting of your blessings and finding gratitude in the moment. Witches are not a religion, but a state of being. You are a witch when you know there are energies at work outside of what you can touch, taste and feel. You are a witch when you empower your ideas with the vibration that will facilitate their manifestation. You are a witch when you make a wish and then do the work to make it come true.
