 February
enters with the Sun in Aquarius, a sign associated with originality, the
radical and divine discontent. Aquarius can be brilliant, visionary, and
revolutionary in its awareness; due to its fixed nature, it is also a sign
that will commit to a cause and / or unique idea, for better or worse.
February 1st has Mercury connecting with Jupiter and Neptune, all
planets of the mind and creativity. If you have found yourself moving too
quickly or over committing, then this is the time to slow down, listen to your
intuition and refocus on creativity. As the days now get longer, it is a
Candlemas tradition to light every candle or lamp in the house for a little
while, symbolizing the illumination that occurs when the Sun’s light returns
to our lives.

Throughout history
and in all cultures of the world, humans have worked magick. At first it was
to promote and ensure the survival of the tribe – to get enough rain and enough
sun to ensure dependable growing seasons, to draw the herds for the hunt, to
aid in childbirth, to heal members of the tribe, to thank the Gods for their
help and for any other needs the group might have. By reading history, we can
see the great influence that magickal practices had in ancient Egypt, Greece
and Rome, as well as during the Renaissance in Europe – all which have had a
profound influence on ceremonial magickal practices today. When we study the
folk traditions of the Americas, Africa and Australia, we can see the roots of
Pagan and Wiccan practice. Read the complete article... The fastest and easiest way to find out what the future holds. The original deck of fortune telling cards offers insightful advice concerning matters of love, money, health, and general prosperity. The lush artwork is based on Old World myth and lore, and blends Egyptian, Celtic, and Fantasy themes in an elegant art Nouveau style. See card samples and read more about this deck...  IMBOLC
(also called Oimelc, Candlemas, Feast of Lights. Imbolg and Brigit's Day) is a
time of purification and a celebration of the continued growth of Light. In our
pastoral and agrarian past, it was the time that the ewes were giving birth to
the new lambs and two of this festival's names show this connection. Imbolc or
Imbolg means 'in the belly' and Oimelc means 'ewe's milk'. Candlemas is the
combination of the words 'candle' and the Scottish 'maes' (feast), a time of
celebration and feasting to mark and honor the growing strength of the Sun and
the promise of spring to come. Read this article in its entirety....  by
