Bardic Song of the Month – May 2015 This month’s Bardic Song is called “Peace Be With You“. It is a simple tune that has a nice poetic feeling to it for easier repetition and the melody line is rather easy. I intended for this song to end a Ritual on peaceful terms, allowing the Participants to go off humming it in their heads feeling serene and at peace. It has a positive message that there is harmony in life and love is with you and kind. It also offers Gratitude to Deity at the end. As much as possible, all songs are created as a single page in pdf…

Saturn still Retro in Sagittarius – 4 degrees Wednesday, April 1, 2015 – 12:01 am EST Goes Direct on Sunday, August 2, 2015 – 4:55 am EDT The Planet of caution takes a break from its conservative ways. When it goes retrograde, the Planet actually lightens up on the reins a bit. It allows people to explore further than they normally would. Sagittarius allows it to open its mouth and to say things out of control. It’s time to make sure the brain is engaged before the mouth blurts away. Saturn goes Direct again in August.     April Fools Day – Sun in Aries – 11 degrees Wednesday, April…

This month’s Bardic Song is called “Spirit Song”. It is a simple tune that has 4 lines for easier repetition and the melody line is rather easy. It can be used to call Spirit as you see fit – replacing the word “Spirit” with the name of a Deity will also work. You might have play with syllables and timing, though. This song came to me initially in a dream. I used to hum it all the time and never had words for it. Several years went by (and I was still humming it), and the words just came to me in a flash. When you read the words, there…

March 2015 This month’s Bardic Song is called “Earth Song”. It is a simple tune that has 4 lines for easier repetition and the melody line is rather easy. It can be used to call a Quarter that is compatible with Earth for the individual or Group.   This song is good for little kids to memorize. It’s that simple. It offers four simple reasons why the Earth is here. It’s our Mother, our Bone, our Life and our Home. The song stays within the musical scale of G, but it can be transposed into any key for vocal comfort.   As much as possible, all songs are created as…

Jupiter still Retrograde in Leo – 14 degrees Sunday, March 1, 2015 – 12:01 am EST Goes Direct on Tuesday, April 7, 2015 – 8:08 am EDT When the grandiose Planet of blowing things out of proportion is Retrograde, the ability to erupt ill feelings at home can still be potential, if you’re not careful. Family matters most in life, so take care to enjoy the time you have. Find time and energy to have fun. Avoid the pessimism that can occur during Jupiter’s Retrograde.     Unique Bucket formation Monday, March 2, 2015 – 11:51 pm EST A Bucket formation is generally when all the Planets are on one…

This month’s Bardic Song is called “Imbolc Song”. It is a simple tune that institues poetic license in that it doesn’t always rhyme. When I initially created this song back in 2002, I never put words to it. It was created as part of a Witchy Lesson I had with a previous Coven. I was rummaging thru those old Lessons looking for something else and this song popped out of nowhere. I entered it into the computer and my Muse tapped my shoulder and gave me the words to coincide with this month’s Sabbat – Imbolc. I hope you enjoy the lovely melody line and the picturesque words and phrases…

Magical names are unique to you. They represent you within your capacity to spending time within the Astral. When you are in Circle, it’s important to use a Magical Name, especially if you’ve been dedicated with a Magical Name; otherwise, Deity won’t recognize you. Magical Names can come to you easily or with a degree of difficulty. Regardless, how you obtain your Magical Name, it is always suggested to keep it the same or augment it with additional names over time and as you progress in your Craft.   My Magical Name is Lord Fairy Bottom Educifer. It has a queer connation to it, although it wasn’t meant to be.…

Acts of Power for Sabbats – Imbolc   There are so many different types of Acts of Power (Magical Activities) you can do within a Sabbat Ritual – after you have created Sacred Space, Cast a Circle and Called the Quarters… Each Act of Power is usually geared to the specific Ritual theme, whether it’s an Esbat, a Sabbat or a specific Ritual. Ultimately, the Intention behind the Act is more important.   I would like to share an Act of Power we use in the Coven for our Imbolc Sabbat. We call it “Banishing the Winter”.   Quite simply, we make paper snowflakes. After folding and cutting them, each person…

And the most difficult thing is keeping your promises (to yourself). And as it happens, there is a Stellium of four Planets – the Sun, Pluto, Mercury and Venus in the 4th House of Hearth and Home.

You may question yourself whether you have mastered them enough or if you need to enhance them even further. Saturn might be able to help you with your self-disciplines… It has…
