Henbane: A classic Witching herb and plant of Saturn. Henbane has said to have been a component in witches flying ointments, since this seems strange, since it is sedating and causes feelings of heaviness. Also, oil of Henbane can blister the skin, so this herb is not a good canidiate for a salve or ointment. Perhaps henbane worked against the side effects of other components in the salves, (which fits with at least one theory of flying ointments)
In Other Types of Magick
Outside of flying ointments, henbane has been connected with the mystical for many centuries. Some have argued that the Greek oracles breathed in the smoke of burning henbane in order to enter into a trance state. Others have said that the Scandinavian goddess Bil was associated with henbane (Bilsenkraut). In medieval Germany, henbane was used in rain magic and was thought to make land sterile (henbane does enjoy growing in "waste" land - land that has been stripped of its forest but is not under cultivation). Albertus Magnus claimed that sorcerers burned henbane in order to see demons in its smoke. On a more mundane note, henbane was also previously used to give beer extra punch - "Pilsen[er]" is a corruption of "Bilsen[kraut]."
A Long Association With the Afterlife
Henbane was being used by people as far back as the Neolithic period in Scotland - henbane together with barley residues were found in drinking vessels in funerary context there. It's unknown whether the drink was meant for the dead or for shamans or others to ritually imbibe in order to help the dead. Henbane residues have also been found in Bronze Age urns found in the Alps, and a Zoroastrian tale from Persia describes how a man drank henbane in wine and spent a week in the afterlife (he was lucky enough to return). The ancient Greeks believed that the dead in Hades wore wreaths of henbane - this plant of forgetfulness helped them forget their loved ones, whom they would grieve for otherwise.
Toxicity
Our disconnection from nature and our refusal to take responsibility for knowing the natural world mean that we often have very distorted reaction to things like deadly plants. Some people seem to discredit all warnings about poisonous herbs, and others act as if a poisonous plant is as dangerous as plutonium. Neither is a helpful response. This herb is dangerous to life, but that does not mean it cannot be used in ritual at all, only that it must be used with caution. Don't allow it to rest against your skin. If including it in a charm bag, make sure the fabric is tightly woven so that plant dust cannot get through. Wear gloves when handling this herb and do not touch your eyes or mouth without washing them first. If censing with this herb, burn it in a well ventilated area. Henbane is deadly poison - that means that people have died from eating this baneful herb, so please don't do anything stupid with it. If you suspect henbane poisoning, go to the emergency room.

Cypress -
This tree is ruled by Saturn and often connected to death. It is used magickally in binding and releasing, to increase longevity, for easing grief and finding comfort and safety in time of loss. It symbolizes the soul and represents reincarnation and resurrection.
The Hades Connection
Cypress is sacred to Hades ("the unseen"; the Roman equivalent, Pluto, came from the Greek euphemism for Hades, Pluoutos--precious wealth of the earth). He was the son of two Titans, who lived before Olympus. He split the rulership of this planet with Zeus (heaven) and Poseiden (sea). Hades was the least popular of the Greek gods, although in later depictions he was connected to the riches of the earth, which could be mineral or vegetable. He was stern, ferocious in battle, and just. His symbols of power are the two-pronged fork, the cornucopia, and the staff, and he is usually depicted as dark and heavily bearded. No temples were built to him, but he did have worshippers, especially after the growth of mystery religions. They averted their eyes from his likeness while worshipping him and banged their hands on the ground so he would hear them. He was later connected not just to the underworld but to all the goodness of the Earth as well, such as grain and minerals. The picture shows Hades and Persephone, goddess of the harvest and wife of Hades. She is holding a sheaf of wheat and a hen (the rooster is under her throne). Hades is holding a branch of pomegranates, with which he tempted Persephone, and an offering bowl. Top
Other Magickal Connections
Not surprisingly, cypress is also linked to elemental Earth, especially in the form of the Phrygian goddess of earth and caves, Cybele/Kybele. She ruled over the natural world, wild animals, dark magick, and revenge. Agrippa, however, connects cypress (and all scented wood) to Mars. Here's a nice incense recipe with a strong Earth slant that includes cypress. This cypress combines New World cypress chips and Old World cypress essential oil for a good, all-around cypress - the best of both worlds.:)
Uses in Witchcraft & Magick:
Protection Spells
Hexing, Cursing, "Black" Magick
Death and Resurrection
Honoring Hades
Healing Rituals
Saturn Herb
Nice Incense Recipe with an Earth Slant
3 parts Juniper
2 parts Cypress
2 parts Myrrh
1 part Patchouli
1 part Sage
1/2 part Orris root.
Saffron - Love, Healing, Happiness, Wind Raising, Lust, Strength, Psychic Powers
The stigmas and style tops flavor and color liqueurs and many dishes, especially rice. Saffron is considered an aphrodisiac, but too much may be narcotic. It is given to reduce fevers, cramps, and enlarged livers, and to calm nerves, and is applies externally for bruises, rheumatism, and neuralgia. In India saffron is used ceremonially. Although water soluble, it is used cosmetically and as a sacred dye. Turmeric is mistakenly called saffron in Asia.
Parts Used: Stamens
Magical Uses: Saffron is added to love sachets as well as though aimed at raising lustful feelings. It is used in healing spells, and the infusion is used as wash water for the hands prior to healing rituals. Sheets were rinsed with a saffron infusion in Ireland so that the arms and legs would be strengthened during sleep, and the ancient Persians used Saffron to raise the wind. Use in spells for: Happiness; Health/Healing; Lust; Psychic Awareness; Wing Raising; Strength.
Verbena - Love, Protection, Purification, Peace, Money, Youth, Chastity, Sleep, Healing. This group consists of about 200 hardy and tender perennials, some of which are semi-evergreen. They are natives of North and South America. Verbenas or Vervain can grow from 6 inches to 4 feet high and may be bushy or creeping in growth. The toothed or cut leaves usually grow opposite each other and reach a length of 1 to 3 inches. In the summer or fall, slender stalks arise and bear flattened clusters of flowers, 2 to 3 inches across. They may be multi-colored, red, rose, peach, pink, purple, lavender, or blue, usually with a white eye. V. Bonariensis (Purple Top) is a pretty species forming basal rosettes of serrated, wrinkly, dark green leaves. In the summer and autumn, thin stems topped with clusters of tiny, bright purplish-pink flowers grow. This species can reach a height of up to 5 feet.
Vervain is believed to be a galactagogue.
Folk legend states that vervain (Common Vervain V. officinalis) was used to staunch Jesus's wounds after his removal from the cross.
Herbal Medicine
Vervain can be chopped finely and boiled with water to make tea. The tea has been used as a herbal remedy for insomnia at night and for general ailments during the day.

Apple Blossom - Wiccan altars are often piled high with apples during Samhain for the apple is considered to be one of the foods of the dead. For this very reason Samhain is sometimes known as "Feast of Apples". Apples are considered symbols of life and immortality.
The apple has long been used in spells of love. The blossoms are added to love sachets, brews and incenses, and they are infused in melted pink wax, then strained out to make candles suitable to burn for attracting love.
Use apple cider in place of blood where it is called for in old recipes.
Apples and apple blossoms are symbolic of love, healing and immortality. Burn the blossoms as incense, wear the perfume, and make them into herb candles for a handfasting rite.

REFRESHER...ABOUT CANDLE MAGICK...
Sun, November 19, 2006 - 10:40 AMCandle Magic has been around for many, many years, being traced as far back as the Palaeolithic era. It is a very powerful form of sympathetic magic.
There are many factors that play into the art of candle magic. As we know any type of magic that is performed will return to you three fold, whether it be positive or negative. Always keep the Wiccan Rede “An harm to none do what thou wilt” in mind when considering your work. Always keep in mind that magic effect’s the entire world around you. Be very careful what you ask for, for it may well come true. The wording in any type of magic must not be taken lightly, be very careful, concise , and precise, make sure you have covered all possible bases.
Keep in mind that some candle magic has to be repeated over a period of days. Therefore, you will want to place them in an area that will not be disturbed. Do not choose a place where there is a tv, radio noise or disturbances of any kind. Keep in mind to not put candles near curtains and such, as you would not want to burn your house down. Candle magic should always be performed in a low traffic area. That is why a bedroom is really nice for such work.
Please remember that this section is new and will grow with information over time, for now the following texts are available to help you understand this ancient practice of the Witch. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: REFRESHER...ABOUT CANDLE MAGICK...
Sun, November 19, 2006 - 10:41 AMPreparation
Your Altar:
You may use anything that has a flat top.. I use an old trunk with a piece of plywood on it. Be creative.. As for a cover I use white because of it’s kind of a multipurpose color. Although some magic specifies a color then what ever color is specified should be used. Again, be creative... Keep in mind that candle magic is usually done in condensed areas so keep things as simplistic as you can, especially your candlesticks and censors.
Incense:
There are some who believe that incense is unimportant in candle magic. I cannot imagine performing candle magick without the incense. The type that you use may be specified in a specific spell, if that is the case by all means use that. Generally, I use three kings incense as well as vervain. Vervain gives the spell working a little umph. But then again nothing is set in stone.. Be creative.
Incense symbolizes Air... as the smoke rises our thoughts are carried up into the universe.
Preparing of the Practitioner:
Prior to your spell working prepare yourself a nice relaxing bath. Add a hand full of sea salt to get your charges set where they need to be. Light a few candles, turn off the light and relax. Clear your mind of the junk you have picked up through out the day. Visualize the water washing all the negativity away from you. It is very important that your mind be at ease and clear prior to any spell working.
Types of candles:
Any type of candle can be used for candle magic as long as it has been cleansed and consecrated prior to use. Although beeswax candles are higher in price than store bought candles, they are more powerful because they are produced from nature. As with any other tool, the candle made by the practitioner for a specific purpose captures the energy of the practitioner. Many experienced Witches will use only candles they have crafted themselves because of this.
Cleansing & Consecrating:
This is a very important step and should not be omitted. Cleansing removes all the negative energies that the candle has picked up along the way. As with all supplies you want your candles to to be as free of psychic debris as possible. Submerge the candle in sea salt and the ask The Lord and lady to bless it. I could give you the phrasing but I think it is better when it comes from your own heart.
Dressing Candles:
Dressing the candle with oil is as important as any other step. Use whatever oil you prefer or what a specific spell asks you to use. Personally, I use lotus a lot... but again that is my preference. what is important is the direction you dress the candle. To bring something to you, rub oil on the candle in a downward motion from the top to the middle and then from the bottom to the middle.
To send something away from you...you rub the oil from the middle of the candle out to the ends. Never make a back and forth motion as this defeats the purpose. Dab the remaining oil from your fingers onto your third eye and on your breast bone. Then say the following:
“I cleanse and consecrate this candle in the name of the Lord and the Lady. May it burn with strength in the service of the light.”
Then state your intent or the purpose of the candle.
Inscribing:
If you inscribe a candle you should use your Athame. The same principle as dressing the candle is used...
To draw something to you, write from the top to the middle, and then from the bottom to the middle.
To repel things, write from the middle to the ends. -

MORE CANDLE COLORS AND INFO
Sun, November 19, 2006 - 10:55 AMCandle Colors and what they mean. Candles in the craft are used to help to increase a spells power, or to influence a particular power. I have provided a list of colors, that can be used. This is offered to help you in your journey into the craft. Always feel free to use whatever color feels right to you. Example of this, red might work well for me but another color might work better for you. Some traditions are very strict in the use of candle colors and I have respect for their beliefs, However, I have been taught and learned through the years that the colors you use should feel right to you. As I stated above what I might choose to use may not be what you choose to. In my opinion intent is the main focus of a spell and not necessarily the color of the candle. I do not mean any dis-respect to other traditions, this is as I said my opinion.
White: A balance of all colors; Spiritual enlightenment, cleansing, clairvouance, healing, truth seeking; Rituals involving lunar energy' May be substituted for any color candle.
Yellow: Activity, Creativity, unity; brings power of concentration and imagination to a ritual; use in rituals where you wish to gain anothers confidence or persuade someone, or in rituals that require solar energy.
Gold: Fosters understanding and attracts the powers of cosmic influences; beneficial in rituals intended to bring about fast luck or money, or in rituals needing solar energy.

ELEMENT SYMBOLS
Sun, November 19, 2006 - 11:57 AMMuch of magic is done through the mediation of the four occult elements, Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. They determine both the type of energy that accomplishes the work and the avenue through which it acts. For this reason a clear understanding and proper use of the elements is vital in ritual. Each element is represented by its own material symbol, which is placed atop the altar beside the lamp in the appropriate elemental quarter. If a ritual concerns only one element, its symbol is placed on the altar alone; if all four elements are involved, all four symbols are present.
Fire is embodied in a short rod about nine inches long. This has a very specific design in the Golden Dawn magical system, but the details are not really necessary. It is the essential shape of the rod that is most important. The nature of elemental Fire is in accord with this strongly phallic symbol.
Air is embodied in a short dagger. Again, it is the associations of the blade—its flashing quickness, its piercing quality, its brightness—that are important, not details of the hilt and so on. The difference in tone between the rod and the dagger says much about the essential difference between elemental Fire and Air.
Water is embodied in a cup or chalice. It should be rounded and womblike, enclosing and protective. It is also more harmonious if the cup is made of a watery, or at least a natural, material. Blue hand blown glass is good, or earth-tone ceramic.
Earth is embodied in the disk or pentacle. This is a flat disk painted with Earth colors. Ideally it should be made of clay or stone. Usually it is of wood. It must not be too large to conveniently hold in the hand—four inches in diameter is a good size, because four is a material, earthy number.
So far as I know, the use of elemental symbols originated with the Victorian Order of the Golden Dawn in the last century, and received its inspiration from the symbols of the lesser arcana—the number cards—of the Tarot. Specific, formal symbols of the four elements were not used in medieval times, and are not strictly necessary. However, the employment of these symbols has become almost universal in modern magic, and they can be very useful. It is important that they be made to harmonize with the sensibilities of the one who will actually use them, not merely according to some arbitrary standard.

GROUNDING YOURSELF VERY IMPORTANT IN MAGICKAL WORK
Wed, November 22, 2006 - 10:30 AMWe need to remember to cleanse and ground ourselves before we endevour on any form of candle magick or meditation. This is a very simple visualization technique that I use, and one which is good to do at the beginning of any meditation. The purpose is to get your energy flowing and get you firmly attached to the physical world to keep you from spacing out during meditation. Remember this is mine, you can use this if it feels right to you, or alter it to suit you to make your grounding easier for YOU!
Sit comfortable with your back straight, either in a chair or on the floor with your legs
crossed. Close your eyes and breath deeply. Count from 1 to 10 while you breath slowly until you feel yourself deeply relaxing.
Imagine a long root extending from the base of your brain going down through your
spine and flowing out into the earth. Let this root start to flow out of the bottom of your spine, imagine it breaking through the floor on which you are sitting/or chair it goes through so easily, it is powerful, it goes through like knife going through soft butter. See the root pass through your floor, under the floor going through the foundation, into the ground, you see the insides of the ground, your root is passing through the dirt, sand, minerals, rocks, concrete with ease until your root passed that and is entering lower like a vine zig zagging to it's destination through the core of Earth to a destination that is Goddess..Welcoming you into her loving embrace, her power, her love.... Follow this root deep within the earth. Now you are
grounded.
Imagine that this root is now tapping into the energy of the earth, energy of the Goddess, your root has touched her. Now you are feeling the warm sensation of her love, embrace, light...keep your root there and let that light flow upwards, all the way back up from what you have passed going down...all the way up slowely feeling warmer and warmer, to the tip of your head.Feel this energy extending to every part of your body and flowing back into the earth to make a circular connection.
Now bring down a cone of white glowing light from the top of your head bringing it
around yourself and extend deep into the earth to surround the root you have planted. You can use this chant or relaxing music of your choice:
The light of the Lady surrounds me,
the light of the Lady protects me,
nothing but good shall go out from me,
nothing but good shall come to me,
the light of the Lady is with me,
I am protected.
Do this exercise often until you can just bring the white light down whenever you want with ease. When you are finished with your candle magick, bring your root back up the same as you brought it back down ane let the light be absorbed within you.

FRANKINCENSE - A small tree or shrub, with pinnate leaves, and white or pale pink flowers. It yields a natural oleo-resin gum, which is used to make a healing incense, which induces a meditative state. Frankincense essential oil is also useful in promoting spirituality and meditative states. Dilute before applying to the skin as it may be irritating. Pliny claimed that Frankincense was an antidote to hemlock poisoning. Avicenna advocated its use for tumors, fevers, vomiting, and dysentary. Chinese herbalists use it in powder form and in teas for rheumatism and menstrual pain, and externally as a wash for sores and bruises. The dose is three to six grains in a glass of wine; or twenty drops of the tincture. Frankincense is highly antiseptic and the scent is said to calm and clear the mind.
Caution: Prolonged use of resins can damage the kidneys.
Parts Used: Resin
Magical Uses: Sacred to the Sun God Ra, frankincense is buned in rites of exorcism, purification, and protection. It is said to accelerate spiritual growth. Rosemary may be used as a substitute. (Oil)Anoint tools, sachets or the body. Use for spirituality, exorcism, purification, luck and protection rites. (Resin)burn for protection, exorcism, spirituality, love, consecration, blessing, energy, strength, visions, healing, meditation, power and courage.
Aromatherapy Uses: (Oil) Blemishes; Dry and Mature Complexions; Scars; Wounds; Wrinkles; Asthma; Bronchitis; Colds; Coughs; Flu; Laryngitis; Cystitis; Anxiety; Nervous Tension; Stress-related Conditions. Frankincense has the ability to slow down, and deepen the breath - very conducive to prayer and meditation.
The dried gummy resin of these trees is probably the most famous incense in the Western world. A Fire and Sun associated scent, it is good for spiritual development, centering oneself for meditation or other spiritural work, purifying areas of negative energy, and for finding the spiritual side of what appears to be a material matter. Some use it to clean chakras, especially the Third Eye. It is fabulous for smudging yourself, your animals, and your home when you are the target of negative magick. The fragrance is very relaxing and gives one a feeling of wholeness and wellness. The scent of this resin changes as it ages (and the water in the resin evaporates) and with the temperature. Resin just unpacked from a cold box is going to smell different than it will after it has warmed up. Some people prefer their frankincense fresh; others would rather let it age. Put some aside to let it age and see which you like better

Re: GROUNDING YOURSELF VERY IMPORTANT IN MAGICKAL WORK
Thu, November 23, 2006 - 5:05 AMThis is a continuation on grounding....taking it some steps further...
After grounding.....
PART II SHIELDING:
Imagine that your mind is a precious gem in a display box in a museum. Now, you have to install security walls around the display box - visualize yourself building the walls out of fortified glass, putting in the bolts and brass fittings. If you like you can see it happen like special effects in one of your favorite movies. Mine is Matrix at the moment. Now, create an alarm. Think of a 'trigger' sentence or 'trigger event' - something you feel is for you the boundary of your mind's openness - maybe the feeling you have just before a 'premonition' or just before you feel the precence of the gremlins. Attach a specific alarm to it, like a sentence you wouldn't normally hear or say; something like 'all dogs have three legs' or The moon is a piece of green cheese'. Now visualize a cabel going from a box containing the alarm to the surface of the security wall you just built. And repeat the 'alarm sentence' over and over again. Again use special effects, see the signal travel from the wall to the box, and hear the alarm go off.
Now, when the alarm go off - see a huge brass door come down from the ceiling, holding out whatever is coming from outside away from your mind. Do this until you can clearly visualize the process in your mind.
PART III PROTECTION DAILY AND DREAMS:
Protection: This is real easy. First Ground and Center before getting dressed in the morning then as you dress imagine that with each piece of clothing you put on a piece of armor, namning each piece, imagine that it glows white or gold as you put it on, and keeps glowing as you move about. Now you are ready to go out into the world. Do this over and over until you have the process firmly fastened in your mind. This can be used at any time during the day when you feel you need to affirm your protection.
DREAMS: Ground and Center then Imagine that your bed is a four poster bed. Now attach hangings around the four sides, colours is white or gold, blend in some red and green too, weave the hangings in your mind, make sure to tie them four corners, so that the four poster becomes a closed 'room' - you are inside and you will not have disturbing dreams.
PART IV - SEALING OFF
This I have not tried, and don't know if it works.
But try some thing like this.
GROUND AND CENTER FIRST
SEALING OFF:
In your mind create a room, any shape, inside your mind. Give it distinct outside walls [the outside walls is all you will have to see] so you can see it clearly. Maybe use the colors white, gold and red. You could use white, red and black, the colors of the Goddess, but as you have used gold, white or red with your protection, it would be easy to use those.
When the room is ready, with a door that can open - make it open into the room, away from the rest of your mind - imagine your gift. Give it a good, easily reckognizable and neutral shape. When you have that, imagine that you take the gift and put it in the room you created for it. Close the door firmly and lock the door, using a key that glows gold or white. Make sure you put the key in a place in your mind where you, and only you, know where it is. Maybe together with a pleasant memory of some thing or some one that meant a lot to you. Write down on a piece of paper where you put it - don't loose the paper. You might want to open the door in the future.
AS USUAL DO WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOUR VISUALIZATION! -

TUESDAYS CANDLE MAGICK
Mon, November 27, 2006 - 11:11 PMToday Is: Tiu's Day
The day of Mars...also Ares, Tiwaz, Tiw (from whom it is named), Tuisco, and Tyr. Tuesday is ruled by Mars, whose Magickal influences are: Passion, courage, aggression, and protection. Tuesday comes under the influence of Mars, the planet associated with vitality, passion, ambition, and raw, unabashed power. Mars energy makes the mind acute, and the body restless; therefore, on Tuesday we are likely to exert ourselves physically and take action to achieve goals. This day is dynamic and high-spirited, and the prevailing energies may include carelessness and destructiveness as well, so it is good to be cautious---especially while traveling.
Tuesday is the proper day of the week to perform rituals involving courage, physical strength, revenge, surgery, and the breaking of negative spells.
Mars Stones: Ruby or any red stone
Mars Colors:
Scarlet
Bright Red
Rayed Azure
Rayed Emerald
Venetian Red
Red
Some of Mars Plants:
Acacias - This plant's yellow flowers are very Sun-like. This herb's Sun protective power comes out in the use of its resin as a binder for a blessing incense; its leaves and wood can be infused in water to make a sacred water for aspurging. Its Air aspect is shown in its connection with the spiritual. In aromatherapy, it is used for meditation, and in magick it is connected to invoking visions (often combined with sandalwood) and for divination. Some have contacted the dead in dreams after burning star anise, althaea (hollyhock) leaves, and acacia leaves as incense in the sleeping room. This plant also has Neptune and Pluto influences. We have two members of this plant family: Acacia baileyana and Acacia confusa. (This illustration of A. baileyana is by AJ Campbell [1921]). For other acacia products, see gum arabic and catechu).
Magickal Properties:
Sun Herb
Divination
Bonsai Plant
Fragrant flowers
Meditation
Seeds for birds
Belladonna: This deadly poisonous herb is associated with Water, Saturn, and Mars (because of its connection with the war goddess Bellona, not because it is a typical Mars plant). Some say the name, "belladonna" [beautiful lady] came about because Italian women used a tincture of it to dilate their pupils and thus appear more attractive, but "Belladonna" also contains the name "Bellona" in it, so the name might just be a way of naming the goddess without naming her. Bellona was a favorite of Roman soldiers; her priests used belladonna in religious ritual. Bellona represented the frenzy of battle and was variously identified as the wife, sister, or daughter of Mars. Her festival was June 3. In West European magick, this crone herb has been used for astral projection and is allegedly an ingredient in flying ointments; even now it is considered a witchcraft essential. It was once used medicinally in minute doses, but reaction to it was too variable for safety. Top
Toxicity
Our disconnection from nature and our refusal to take responsibility for knowing the natural world mean that we often have very distorted reaction to things like deadly plants. Some people seem to discredit all warnings about poisonous herbs, and others act as if a poisonous plant is as dangerous as plutonium. Neither is a helpful response. This herb is dangerous to life, but that does not mean it cannot be used in ritual at all, only that it must be used with caution. Don't allow it to rest against your skin. If including it in a charm bag, make sure the fabric is tightly woven so that plant dust cannot get through. Wear gloves when handling it and do not touch your eyes or mouth without washing them first. If censing with this baneful herb, burn it in a well ventilated area. "Baneful" means that this is a deadly poison. People have died from ingesting it, so please don't do anything stupid with it. If you suspect belladonna poisoning, go to the emergency room. It is also known as banewort, dwale, and deadly nightshade. You must be at least 18 to purchase it
Uses in Witchcraft & Magick:
Astral Work
Baneful Spells, Sorcery
Crone Work
War Magick/Protector of Soldiers
Saturn/Mars Herb
Tuesday is the third day of the week. This is the day of Mars. Tiw's day is derived from Tyr or Tir, the god of war, the wrestler and the son of Odin and, or Woden, the Norse God of war and Frigga, the earth mother. Tuesday was named in his honor. The metal iron is associated with Mars and the emblem of spear and shield is also associated with this day.
MARS: (RED)
Tuesday (male energy): Courage, strength, base energy. Red planet, warrior, takes control of passion (potentially aggressive), determination, initiative.
Rules: muscular system, blood, reproductive organs.

Sephiroth: Geburah (Severity) = Identified by Kaballah as "the Sephirah Geburah," this Sphere of energy encompasses the Left Shoulder, Breast, Left-Upper Back, Arm and Hand; any or all of which can become 'sore' or traumatized by a crisis over JUSTICE and HOW TO BE PROPERLY "SEVERE" WITH "TROUBLE-MAKERS." That the trouble-maker CAN at times be one's own out-dated or mis-applied moral or religious JUDGEMENTS towards others may not occur to the individual (at first,) but most of the time such proves to be at least PARTLY "TO BLAME."
Matters of "RIGHT and WRONG" are virtually always religiously-ingrained; and crises over 'wrong behavior' or 'bad people' must be viewed as a part of the individual's own "religious or cultural programming."
When a strong need to deal with ANGER, PUNISHMENT or REVENGE is identified in one's life, the real and most pressing need is for DROPPING THE MORAL JUDGEMENTS against others; a realistic and non-self-righteous attitude is the beginning of healing for all Geburah-related crises.
That one may get over all such judgements and yet STILL need to cope with a genuine 'wrong-doer' in one's life is clearly also possible! Close attention, therefore, to both the excessive Anger AND the proper control of any actual Wrong-doers are both called-for.
Like all Branches of The Tree Of Life, Geburah connects us with FOUR LEVELS of the Spiritual Hierarchy or "chain of command." Anytime your search for Holistic Synthesis or Wholeness points to this Sephirah, there is a strong probability that YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT THIS CHAIN OF COMMAND IN SOME WAY before your crisis or problem will resolve itself completely. The Four Levels of this Branch Of Life are:
ASSIAH: The PHYSICAL Level.
The Physical Level of Hierarchy in all Sephiroth is the same; ASTROLOGICAL INFLUENCES and/or THE "I CHING" LIFE-CALENDAR. For any event involving this Sephirah that began suddenly and has not diminished since then, the Life-Calendar is probably the source of the influence; you should be able to see the pattern clearly (including when to expect it to end) by reading the Year-Hexagram from that Calendar. Any PROCESS that seems to be EVOLVING into ever-changing forms over a long period of time is probably due to ASTROLOGICAL CHANGES affecting one's place in the world around you, as reflected by Planetary Changes. Note that you will need both a Natal (Birth) Horoscope AND a Transit Chart for the current year, in order to understand these Planetary Cycles. The Planet MARS directly governs this Sephirah in Astrology.
YETZIRAH: The PSYCHIC-SCIENCES Level.
The Science of Geburah is BURNING THE RUBBISH; or Fire Ceremony. All cultures practice this Science in one way or another; bonfires, candle-burning and even the Yule Log are part of this tradition. You have probably practiced this Science already, without giving it enough thought, but when you really NEED to defend yourself from something that is literally 'attacking' your happiness, you will eventually find SOMETHING to ceremonially BURN as part of the purification and protection of your life. Let us suggest that doing this as a regular Ritual (say every month or two) in which you light candles around you while mentioning the problems and conflicts in your life, can help keep your life properly Enlightened AND safe from the kinds of problems that tend to pile-up like the rubbish unless we remember to burn them away. Passing one's hands through the warmth of the flame while thinking of the end of old problems really CAN leave us cleaner, stronger and LIGHTER.
But WHY did you allow such problems to attach themselves to you in the first place? Metaphysics answers that YOUR BELIEFS made that happen; for Geburah rules not only Burning the Rubbish but "DEFENDING THE FAITH." In short; it is our Dogmatic Opinions (the root of 'religious belief') that gets us into the Rubbish Heap of problems in the first place! And it is mostly THOSE DOGMATIC OPINIONS that need burning.
Try performing a Candle Ceremony passing your hands through the warm light while declaring yourself 'burned clean of dogmatic opinions and judgements toward others.' THAT is Fire Science at it highest! In the end, we can turn our Geburic "Defense Mechanisms" into a genuine method of Spiritual Self-Defense.. once we learn to defend ONLY freedom from judgementalism and Lightness Of Spirit.
BRIAH: The ARCHANGELIC Level.
Most western societies know of the great "Spiritual Intermediaries" who caretake our relationship with the Great Spirit, and refer to them as "Archangels." Asian societies normally call them "Boddhisattvas" and will need to turn to their own cultural traditions for guidance in contacting the right Bodhisattva for their Binah-related problems.. though ANYONE can call upon ANY Spiritual Authority and get useful results. The Archangel of Binah is named "Khamael," and he connects us with our Creator in the form called "Elohim Gibor" which is Hebrew for 'Heavenly Warrior' or THE GOD OF BATTLES.
The Angelic Order (or lineage of Devic Spirit-Workers, if you prefer) who serve this Sephirah are called the "SERAPHIM" or Fiery Ones; and they are the 'Burners' whose job it is to burn-away all of the unwanted 'rubbish' of our lives. We all collect "extra baggage" and obsolete patterns that we still carry around with us; and the Seraphim are there to help us "lighten our load" whenever we need. Whatever brought you to Geburah is EXTRA BAGGAGE!.. and you need the help of the Archangel and God-Aspect who govern the Seraphim, to command them to burn-away your burdens.
Repeated contact with this Archangel (asking each time for yet MORE clarity of Understanding and more help with solving the specific details of your crisis or condition) over a period of days or weeks may prove extremely useful.. though there may still be TIME and LOCATIONS that you will have to wait-for or bring-about in order to finally end your Geburah-related problem.
ATZILUTH: The GOD-ASPECT Level.
The "Aspect" or FORM of the Creator contacted here at Geburah is Elohim Gibor, usually written in the FEMININE tense.. making her name literally translate as "Mother-Warrior" though 'Lord Of Battles' is most often how it is worded in English (Eloh Geburah, in Hebrew.) It is the task of this God-Aspect to DEFEND INNOCENCE AND TRUTH from any attack. The symbols of a Sword and Flame denote this function, symbolically.
The only problem with all of that is that it is SO difficult to define exactly what Innocence and Truth really ARE! To most of us (MOST of the time) Innocence means ONESELF!.. for we all know that down inside we are "good" and "pure." Likewise, we tend to define Truth as "whatever I happen to BELIEVE;" even though we may know perfectly well that there are millions of other possible 'opinions' out there too.
Contacting this mighty Defender through his/her Archangel actually sets in motion the Purification of our Lives.. for THAT is in the end the only way of finding-out what part of us really IS Innocent and True. It is wise to view all Geburah-related crises and problems as Purification Lessons, intended to clarify one's Innocence and strip-away all 'opinions'.. leaving behind only NATURAL, GOD-GIVEN SIMPLICITY where once there were value-judgements, opinions and religiously-programmed beliefs.
Called HATHOR in the ancient Egyptian "paut Neteru" or Great Company of the Gods.. and considered the goddess of "mystical power" and it's benefits.. the God-Aspect of Geburah has always been associated with the SURVIVAL OF THE SINCERE, though one must PROVE that sincerity before it is rewarded. Hathor was the Golden Cow Goddess of Egypt whose mystical-science Temple at Medenet-Habu was visited by the ancient Hebrew Kaballists on their way our of Egypt (though Moses called her 'the golden calf' and forbade her to be honored by those of his religion.) You may think of Hathor/Elohim Gibor as MYSTICAL ACTIVISM, requiring both non-dogmatic thinking AND true self-knowledge to fully perfect.
If you can view this Sephirah as BOTH reality's "Religious Deprogramming Department" AND the "Divine Police Department" here to defend ALL of the children of Heaven from danger, you will have balanced this Sephirah's energy.. and solved your Geburah-related problems all at once. You will ALSO find yourself MUCH the wiser for the lesson!

A time of pause, symmetry & balance, with the light & dark united in a stunning visual orb. Perhaps my favorite time.
Candles poured during this time are excellent to balance our own spirit body, to affirm our stability, equanimity & endurance as we move forward to achieve our heart's desires for ourselves or our loved ones.
Sun in Sagittarius
Moon in Aquarius
The twelve signs of the zodiac all have specific influences, which affect the atmosphere around us. Although they aren't felt as strongly as the powers of the days of the week, they can produce new and unexpected twists in our magickal workings. They will not harm your spells, but their influence can boost them. That being said, lets see what effects the planets have on moon magick.
Moon in Aquarius- Secrets, mysteries
There's been a lot of New Age hype about the sterling qualities of Aquarius (a masculine air sign) but, like all the signs, it has its negative aspects. These include a tendency to selfishness, air-headedness, thought without action, and generally allowing one's mind to wander aimlessly in some vast pseudo-intellectual wilderness. However, it is also a time when people as a whole tend to be inspired to higher consciousness. Because of this, the Aquarian transit is a good time for troubled covens to meet. Magick for world peace and understanding are best undertaken during this sign. Warning: because this sign is now outwardly fighting for its identity in this New Age, anything can happen in your Aquarian/moon magick.

Wed, November 29, 2006 - 9:03 AMWednesday ~ Day of Woden ~ God of Knowledge, Wisdom and Enlightenment
WEDNESDAY - THE DAY OF WISDOM
Wednesday is named after Odin, or Woden, the great Anglo Saxon god of war and wisdom. The French word for Wednesday, mercredi, more clearly

communication are best performed on Wednesday, the day of Mercury.
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury, whose Magickal influences are: study, travel, divination, and wisdom. Mercury, the planet representing the conscious mind and communication, presides over Wednesday.It is a good day to think, but not necessarily a good one to make decisions, as thoughts tend to be abstract and the mind may wander. Wednesday is the best day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving communication, writing, divination, knowlege, teaching, learning, business meetings, study, announcements, phone calls, and planning.Colors associated with today according to planetary influence include:

Maat was a teenage girl goddess who was often represented as a pair of twins. She was Truth and Order, Harmony and equilibrium, justice and supreme balance; the concept that the universe, above everything else is an ordered and rational place. Her domain encompasses predictability and regularity - constants. She is - paradoxically - the Goddess of Science, as well as integrity and honor. She stands at the entrance to the material plane. At the time of one's death, she will place their heart on her scales and weight it against a feather. If they balance, then that person may pass on to the afterlife in peace. If not, it means that the heart is heavy with evil, and the soul is devoured by the monstrous goddess Ahemait.

fr:Maât
de: Maat (Mythologie)
pl:Maat
In Egyptian mythology, Maàt was the goddess of truth, justice and order.
Note: Unlike other Egyptian gods and goddesses, Maat is more of a concept than an actual deity.
In the underworld, Maats headband supplied the Feather of Truth, the ostrich feather which the souls of the deceased were weighed against in the Hall of Two Truths in Duat. A soul which was heavy with sin was devoured by Ammit. A good soul, one that weighed less, was sent to Osiris. Her symbol is a woman with wings and a feather on her head. The image is on some sarcophogi, as a symbol of protection for the souls of the dead.
Wednesday is the fourth day of the week. It is the day of Mercury. It is Woden's Day, from the Scandinavian Woden (Odin), God of Norse mythology, who was often called the All Father. Quicksilver, a liquid mercury that contains amounts of the platinum group metals, is associated with Wednesday.

Verbena - Vervain
Verbena officinalis
This Old World native was a favorite of the Druids, who gathered vervain when the Dog Star, Sirius, was on the rise, in the dark of the Moon. The Druids utilized vervain in divination, consecration, and ritual cleansing of sacred spaces. They made a magical drink called the Cauldron of Cerridwen (a shapeshifter) that some say included rowan berries, sea water, lesser celandine, flixweed, and vervain, which brought the drinker creative energy for bardic song and prophecy; a drink made from vervain is still said to help poets in their work. Vervain is also still used to make a drink for intiating into Druidic paths. It is pleasant smelling and can be drunk as a tea or burned as an incense. In its connection with the Underworld, it can be added to a cup of wine drunk on Samhain to aid contact with the Beloved Dead.
In Purification
Vervain has a long history of use in purification. King Solomon cleansed the Temple with vervain, and the Romans placed it on altars in honor of Venus and Diana. A lustral water can be made from vervain for purifying ritual tools, and a bath with vervain can help the bather prepare for ritual work. In the British Isles, people held vervain over the Beltane fire to protect their livestock and strewed it over their fields at Summer Solstice to make sure they would be fertile. Nowadays, Pagans strew it over their gardens for the same reason.
As Protective
However, vervain is also protective--Roman soldiers carried vervain with them into battle, and homes have been sprinkled with an infusion of vervain to keep out evil. It can also be burned as an incense for this purpose. In the old Langauge of Flowers, vervain stood for enchantment and still is very important in various aspects of magick. Drinking the tea is said to help in astral work and divination, and for that reason is tied by some to Mercury. A mug of vervain tea is made from 1-3 teaspoons of herb left to steep in a mug for 10-15 minutes. Also, you can make an oil to anoint the Third Eye by macerating this herb in olive oil.
Other Names
Vervain is also known as Vervan, Van Van, Ferfaen, Verbein, Verbena, Verbinaca, Dragon's Claw, Enchanter's Plant, Tears of Isis, Juno's Tears, Herba Veneris (herb of Venus), Persephonion, Demetria, Mercury's Moist Blood, Peristerium, Sagmina, Pigeon Grass, Pigeonwood, Frog-foot, Simpler's Joy, Altar Plant, Herba Sacra or Herbe Sacrée, Holy Plant, Herb of Cross, Holy Herb, and Herb of Grace.

Oils:
Cedarwood - Chips from the wood of various types of aromatic cedars make an excellent incense with Sun properties and produce a warm but not hot smell, woodsy and soothing. Cedarwood smoke was inhaled by oracles prior to prophecy, works well for consecrating a wand, and plays a part in Midsummer celebrations. This herb is also helpful for working on the ego or centering oneself and building self-esteem. The image on this page is from the Renaissance alchemical book Solis Splendor and represents the Sun, cedarwood's ruling planet, in the process of transformation.
Uses in witchcraft and magick:
Divination
Consecration
Midsummer Celebration
Incense
Sun Herb
Organic Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil
This Sun fragrance has a long association in various cultures with central male deities, as one would expect from a Sun scent. King Solomon, said to be a great mage, made the pillars in the Temple to YHVH of this North African cedar (which is also known as cedar of Lebanon). This botanical fragrance makes a good addition to a perfume oil honoring Sun gods. Some consider that cedarwood is ruled by Jupiter, however, perhaps because of their imposing size. Cedar is the perfume associated with Chesed in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
The fragrance of cedar is often incorporated into charms to attract money, but in China, these trees are associated with lovers because of the way they reach out their branches when growing near each other. In Assyrian mythology, cedar was one of the trees Inanna ate to gain the knowledge of love and sexuality. In Britain, however, this plant has been thought to be capable of prophesying death in the family through the loss of its limbs, which adds a somber note to this Sun scent. In terms of angels, cedar is thought to evoke angelic help, particularly when one needs wisdom. Obviously, the wide popularity of this natural fragrance has meant it has been used in various contexts.
Cedar has powerful properties to repel mold and bugs - in Roman times, Celts embalmed the heads of their enemies with this oil in order to preserve and keep them, and you know how much bugs love dead heads. The particular tree that produces this oil is one of the four true cedars and can live to be 1500 years old. It gets the name "Atlas" from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria. Steam-distilled from Cedrus atlantica in France

Uses: For treating coughs, bronchitis and a stuffy nose, it loosens bronchial congestion, making it easier to cough it up and expel it. A good breath freshener in the morning, and if kept by the bed it will prevent bad dreams. Also a digestive aid and can relieve an upset stomach and flatulence when taken as a tea, and a treatment for colic. Also suggested that anise may be beneficial to women because certain chemicals in the plant are chemical cousins to the female hormone estrogen. Though it is mild, anise may help to relieve the discomfort of menopause. In traditional folk medicine it has been used to promote milk production in nursing mothers. It's recommended dosage would be 1 teaspoonful of seeds for every cup of boiling water, steep 10-20 minutes and strain, drink 3 cups a day for maximum effect. A good general cleansing bath is made with a handful of anise seeds and a few bay leaves. A pillow of anise keeps away nightmares. Also a good sedative.
Vetiver - The roots of this Earth plant are ground and added to incense mixtures to give them an earthy, sensual scent. Vetiver is uplifting and helps maintain emotional calm, especially when flashbacks are experienced (its essential oil is called the Oil of Tranquility). This magick herb is sometimes helpful in processing grief and promotes restful sleep and calm dreams. It is said to help in overcoming negative or fallow times as well. This protective herb is sometimes used magickally to promote love, especially between gay people (shows some Mercury here). In accordance with Mercury/Hermes being the patron of merchants and thieves, vetiver is added to charms to attract money and repel thieves (some businesspeople keep a bit in the cash register).
Non-Magickal Uses
The fibers of this relative of lemongrass are often woven into sleeping mats that release their cooling scent when slept on. Rats and bugs hate the smell, so it makes a great sachet, keeping away moths and adding a scent to clothes that is pleasing to humans. In soapmaking, it works as a fixative and is a nice alternative to orris root. Add it to fix Earth-centered pot pourris that include mosses, lichens, and nuts, or combine 1:1 with white sandalwood to make a vetiver incense. Sometimes associated with Capricorn, vetiver is also known as vertivert and khus khus.
Uses in Witchcraft & Magick:
Protection Spells
Love Magick
Incense
Dreamwork
Organic Vetiver Essential Oil
This scent helps us to remain grounded even while it brings out our most deeply buried secrets; it is also known as the Oil of Tranquility. This earthy and woody fragrance reminds many people of a damp forest floor. It helps in calming dreams and soothing sleep and so is good where nightmares have been a problem. As an Elemental Earth fragrance, it is helpful to merchants (and others) in drawing money and keeping thieves away, showing a Mercury influence. It is also thought to promote love, especially between two gay people. Steam-distilled from certified organic Vetivera zizanoides in Madagascar.
Combining With Other Essential Oils

Soon we’ll tread on deluged ground.

Thursday is the fifth day of the week. This name comes from the Middle English Thorsday, or Thursdaye. Thor, the god of strength and thunder, defender and help in war, son of Odin, is the counterpart of Jupiter or Jove. Thor is one of twelve great Gods in mythology. It was said that whenever Thor threw his hammer, the noise of thunder is heard through the heavens. He is the only God who cannot cross from earth to heaven upon the rainbow, for he is so heavy and powerful that the Gods fear it will break under his weight. Thursday was sacred to Thor. The metal tin is associated with the thunderbolt of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek myth) and is associated with Thursday.

NEW MOON
Appearance - The new moon appears to be totally dark or that there is no moon out at night.
Magical Qualities - The NEW MOON introduces the WAXING MOON phase of the lunar cycle. Some say not to begin work until the actual WAXING CRESCENT is visible. Used for personal growth, healing and blessing of new projects or ventures. It's also a good time to cleanse and consecrate ritual tools.
New Moon or Dark Moon Time
The blackest night of the month occurs on the new moon. Rich, deep, and filled with possibility, this is a time when the unmanifest potential for any desire lies close to the earth.
The moon herself actually rises in the morning, conjunct the sun, and travels the sky by day... invisible. Her face turned away from us in the night leaves the landscape black.
On a starless night, the hand cannot be seen before the face. The mind finds itself in an abyss, a void of perception, , deprived of the familiar, visually separated from the world.
The spirit, recognizing its carnal solitude, seeks the heavens, knowing again that the world is in fact a vast & mysterious place, full of wonder & mystery.
Color & fragrance fine tune the intent of manifestation. Your desire, wish, prayer, meditation... pressed into, dressed onto these pillars, makes them a singular tool for your empowerment.
Waxing Crescent Moon Time
Now the moon begins her journey to fullness, appearing in the sky at first as a sliver of a crescent moon, nightly increasing to form a horned moon.
As the moon increases, shining ever more brightly on the earth, she symbolizes the eternal rhythm of growth to maturity.
Candles poured during this time vibrate with an energy of increase, hope, rebirth, and gentle light & thus we do work, increasing our efforts to manifest our dreams.
Next full moon is in about 13 days
New Moon
(when the Earth's shadow has fallen over the moon, rendering it dark.):
This is the time for Scrying, looking for things that are hidden, and seeking out secrets and mysteries. Begin to plan for new beginnings.
If there are two New Moons in a given month, the second one is called the Black Moon, as is an especially powerful time for magic.
Some Goddesses appropriate for invoking at the New Moon:
´ Hecate (for guidance in deciding which new goals to strive for)
´ Artemis (for energy and guidance to bring new goals to fruition in the days ahead)
´ Inanna or Persephone (for rebirth, life-changes, and new growth in the days ahead)
´ Freya (for creativity and imagination)
´ Brighid (for creativity, motivation and strength to begin work on new ideas and projects)
´ Aradia (for beginning philanthropic projects to help your community, or beginning education with the goal of improving the conditions of your life)
Some Incenses appropriate to the New Moon:
´ White Sandalwood
´ Jasmine
´ Lavendar
´ Damiana
´ Orris
Waxing Moon and First Quarter
(the time when the moon grows; from New to Full):
This is the time to cast spells designed for invocation, new beginnings, and attracting things to you. It is also a good time to work on issues of self-esteem, personal balance, and integration of different aspects of the Self, or to work magic for the general good of the World „ compassion for mankind, healing for Mother Earth, etc.
At the First Quarter Moon, you may want to give an extra energy boost to projects, move them from the development stage to the building stage, or seek balance and pacing if you started too quick in the beginning of a project and now find it going haywire, developing too fast for you to maintain a sense of control and direction.
Some Goddesses appropriate for invoking during the Waxing Moon and at First Quarter:
´ Artemis, Inanna or Persephone (for their continued assistance for projects you called on them for at the New Moon)
´ Aphrodite (for self-esteem, and the confidence to follow through on developing projects)
´ Venus (for balance and resolution of problems in growing relationships)
´ Kwan Yin (for promotion of compassion, wisdom and healing within Mankind and the Earth)
Some Incenses appropriate to the Waxing Moon and First Quarter:
´ White Sandalwood
´ Rose
´ Geranium
