"Part of being strong in life is learning to let go of anyone who hurts you

and moving on to those who won't."

Merry Meet and Good Morning :))) Blessings to you and yours for a magickal day today. Today is Monday, January 6, 2014.

Mondays are ruled by the magic and mystery of the Moon and are days of peace, sleep, healing, compassion, friends, psychic awareness, purification, and fertility. The moon and humanity are intrinsically linked. The moon affects so many cycles in our lives like the ocean’s tides, feminine cycles, and seasonal cycles. Focus on accepting change gracefully, release your anxieties and past hurts and let go of your past. Today is a good day for spells involving emotions, the subconscious, domestic issues, feminine issues, psychic pursuits and dream work. If you are working with stones today choose pearls or moonstones for protection. Use emeralds for amulets, and silver when making talismans.

Tonight's Moon Waxing, First Quarter, with 41% visibility. The Waxing Moon is when the moon is getting larger in the sky, and moving towards the full moon. It is the ideal time for magick that draws things towards you bringing about positive changes. The Waxing Moon represents the Goddess in her Maiden aspect. The Maiden is all about new beginnings, youthful ideas and enthusiasm. The next important event for your magickal workings is the Full Cold Moon on January 15, 2014.

We begin our day today with the Moon in Pisces. When the Moon is in Pisces, the focus is on dreaming, nostalgia, intuition, and psychic impressions. It’s a good time for spiritual or philanthropic activities. At 4:45 this morning the Moon begins her journey to Aries arriving at 2:46 this afternoon. While the Moon makes her journey, she will be void of course, or between signs. During this time we want to minimize doing anything important. It's a time to rest, relax, and take care of you. :))))) The Moon in Aries is good for starting things but lacks staying power. Thing occur rapidly, but quickly pass. People tend to be argumentative and assertive. The color of the day is Lavender, and the incense is Narcissus. Have an amazingly magickal day! :)))

It’s a wonderful day to work on spiritual awareness and connection with the divine. Take some time to meditate today and connect with the universal energy. If you are working with spells today, it’s the day to work with spells for overcoming obstacles, neutralizing harmful energy, binding, and banishing. When working with stones today choose to wear turquoise, labradorite, or diamond for protection. Use amethyst in amulets, and lead in talismans.

The Witch's Cauldron

**image source picstopin.com**

The Witch's Cauldron

If you look at items associated with witches today, one of the most popular ones is the cauldron. During Halloween especially you are likely to see lots of art depicting witches brewing their potions in the cauldron, cackling as some crazy color goes sparkling into the night sky to deliver the spell that they have just cast.....

Have you ever really given much thought to why witches are shown like this so frequently?

Sure we've all seen the movies with the stereotypical witches portrayed circling around a bubbling cauldron on a fire, but where did this association originally come from?

Back before we all had these modern stoves in every kitchen, the hearth was the center of the home. What was on the hearth? In almost every home you would find a large cast iron pot that hung over the fire to cook pretty much everything.




So my question is then, how did a every day cooking pan come to be associated with witches?

Perhaps it's because most of us love to cook, and may have carried our cauldron's a little further in life. After all they are amazing to cook in. There is nothing better during the winter then a stew in a cast iron pot that's been simmering over a fire all day. My parents live in a log cabin on top of a mountain. :)) They only use cast iron pots to cook in. They've actually gotten me started on my own collection for birthdays and Christmas over the past year. I absolutely adore the look of them, but I love the way the cook too. :))))) I don't have to worry about strange things chipping off in my food, and they always heat things amazingly. :)))))

In the days of old those cauldrons were also used to prepare herbal remedies over the fire. It wasn't uncommon to find soups, tinctures, and teas, simmering in various sized cauldrons over the fire. I know a few of you carry those traditions forward today. I will use a smaller one I have from time to time on my stove to simmer water to add humidity to the air and smell. :))))) I usually use my mini-crockpot though as it's safer than leaving the stove on.

Today we use it as witches for traditional reasons but also for many symbolic reasons. Many of the rituals we do you will find the cauldron used. Many of us keep small cauldrons on our alters. I am among them. It is the symbolic womb of the Great Mother Goddess. I actually use mine quite frequently when working with magick. I will use it often to burn herbs safely in during my ritual or spell work. It can also be used for divination purposes by scrying in the water or the smoke from the cauldron.

One day I would love to have a home with a large hearth that I can keep a cauldron or several over the fire for teas, soups, and other magickal things. There's something just amazingly soothing about it to me. :))))

On my birthday last year I actually found an old cauldron. I believe it to be a gift from my Grandfather and it hangs in my kitchen today. I don't use it for cooking as it's quite old, but I keep things in it like flowers, fruits, nuts, etc. :))))) I have used it in a couple rituals, but very specific work to do with my ancestors. That's what the energy on it feels appropriate to me for. :))))) It reminds me of my Grandfather as he always had one over the fire when we went camping. :))))) I wrote an article about it here: http://wiccanmoonsong.blogspot.com/2012/09/old-cauldron.html

The picture of it is below :))
