I have been fortunate to have a number of magickal role models in my life.
The first pagan teacher I met was Kiwi Carlisle, then the president of The Alliance for Magical and Earth Religions. She was patient with me when I was young and dumb and hostile and ahs remained a solid friend for 30 years. Now, she is a wise crone and I strive to emulate her in many ways (excluding migraines and budgies)
Then came Tabitha in Little Rock. She opened my eyes to the fact I might call myself Christian but I was a witch. This was uncomfortable, as that was one of the parts I was desperately trying to banish. (and one of the biggest shards that I was forced to swallow in December. I have called myself a witch and cast, but never dedicated myself to it as I have now). Witch, like bisexual and trans and genius and all the other unacceptable bits had to be shoved away so I could force myself into the mold I thought would make me more acceptable to El. I was wrong in this. There was nothing I could do that would make me more acceptable.
When we became associated with Summerland Grove, I learned from everyone. But we all adored Mama Dragon. She was the leader and the author of the bylaws and everything. She always had a story and she always had time for a newbie or a child. She was the crone I aspire to become.
Aislynn Firehawk taught me to find the sacred fire in myself and that has served me well. I hope one day to learn from her in person again.
As I have made The Change, and wibble around in the mushy gender middle, I have begun talking and listening to the men of the church. Many are so young I have trouble taking them seriously, even when I know they are farther on the path than I am. But, I still listen and learn even if I have not chosen a particular mentor,
Today's magic working: Learn about Moon phases.
This month, day after tomorrow, is the full Scorpio moon, a perfect time for psychic powers, divination and advanced rituals. Also good for fertility.
New Moon: A time of beginnings. Manifest your desire and dream something into reality. Set goals, prepare altar.
Waxing crescent: go within and call in what you want to manifest before bringing it forth. Money and Career spells, moon water
First quarter: Go within and bring out. Also a time of attraction, drawing money or love or even lost items. Love spells, luck spells and healing
Waxing Gibbous: still constructive, great for the extra push to manifestation. Now is the time to start new routines, esp if you have trouble with them. Pause and observe.
Full moon: Address your major issues at this most powerful time. Focus spells and rituals on things of utmost importance. A good time for divination, psychic development and spirituality. Take chances, any spells.
Waning Gibbous: time for repelling, banishing and destroying the unwanted. Banishings & cleansings. Also good for introspection. Banishing spells, protection spells, cleansing and detoxing.
Last Quarter: A transition period, use the energies to boost you over bumps. Rest and justice spells.
Waning crescent: Bigger banishings and dropping very large unwanted things. Look back and be grateful.
