EVOKING THE GODDESS
by Karen Charboneau-Harrison

When working with Goddess energy, it is always a good idea to consult various sources to determine which Goddess is ‘in charge’ of the energies of the ritual which you are planning to pursue. While the Goddess is quite rightly known as ‘The Goddess of One Thousand Names’, you will find that some specific aspects of a particular Goddess energy will be more aligned with the type of working you are planning. Your ritual will work more quickly and efficiently if you directly align your energies and that of your ritual with the aspect which works specifically with the goals of your ceremony. Just as you are known by many monikers - Ms. Smith at work, Mom at home, Sweetheart to your life partner - aspects of the Goddess are also addressed by different names according to the way that the Goddess energy most easily manifests itself within each setting.

THE BELL
by Karen Charboneau-Harrison

In addition to your four Major Tools - Pentacle, Wand, Athame and Chalice - over time you will also collect additional tools that are used for specific energy functions within your rituals and ceremonies. Today we’ll examine your Bell.

The Bell is used to purify objects and spaces with its clear, ringing tones. The vibrations from your Bell drive out negative, unbalanced energy and fill a space or the physical structure of an object with clearing, positive vibration or energy. It can also be used to clear the aura of an individual who has been ill or has experienced a difficult, negative situation.

FINDING THE DRAGON IN YOU
by Stephanie S. Sommers

Dragons have existed in the human psyche as long as there has been such a thing as human psyche. The most ancient human cultures had stories about Dragons, all the way back to ancient India, Africa, The Far East and even the early people of the Americas. Scientists theorize that the reason that Dragons make an appearance on all the major continents is that the Dragon is a composite of predators that ancient people feared. Theory says that the Dragon is made up of components of the leopard, eagle and snake, any one of which could spell trouble for a human caught unaware.

We begin August feeling the effects of Mercury having just turned direct on 7/28, in the sign of Cancer - the classic "thinking with your feelings" permutation. On August 1st, the Sun in Leo squares (appears 90 degrees to) Jupiter in Scorpio. Your state of self-awareness, the Sun, requires you to transmute self-perception that has prompted you to comport yourself in a disingenuous manner. Call it self-transformation, call it a come-uppance, call it an assault on your ego, call it whatever seems to apply. Jupiter always desires more than the current situation seems to offer, so if you feel a kind of "divine discontent", pay close attention and heed your instincts. And Mercury will help you "feel" your way.
