Happy March 1st! This is a quick episode all about Saturday being Saturn's Day!  One of my cats had the zoomies while recording so you'll hear things crashing as he attacks them and runs by.  Saturday is Hecate's day - so much to go over with her, but I am saving a bunch for next week's episode when Anika is coming back as a guest so we can dive deeper into workings with Hecate!  Till then, enjoy this episode about Saturday energy and Saturn.  Charlene

Welcome to the elements ... a 4 part series with this podcast focusing on the element of Air.  I must say - I had no idea how much I was already working with this element until I dove deeper into the research on it, and I really loved organizing this podcast.  I hope you enjoy!  Charlene

Welcome to my first episode for 2023  :-)  I am your host Charlene and in this podcast I research all of the witchy things I would like to incorporate into my office and work, and how to do it.  Today I am talking about Thursday - and how it's Jupiter's Day!    I am pretty sure there were a couple of times I called Jupiter Juniper - so hopefully you will laugh it off.  I somehow got the word Juniper stuck in my head and it was a battle the whole way though.  I am sure I missed a couple mix-ups!! 

Okay ... notes for today's podcast: 

1. Jupiter Thursday is all about thriving and happiness, abundance and expansion.

2. This is a masculine day!

3. The astrological sign attached to Jupiter is Sagittarius which is called the fiery archer sign.

4. Sagittarius are known for being independent, cheerful … kind of free-spirits, a little wild, they are generous, enthusiastic and curious. They are also known for being philanthropic and nature loving. In general, Sagittarius signs are pretty straightforward.

5. Thursday is Thor’s Day! Thor is the Norse god of Thunder. Other deities to work with on Thursday are going to be Juno, Zeus, Poseidon, Pan, Gaia and Osiris.

6. Thursday is a powerful day because the planet Jupiter is thought to be the ruler of all of the planets. It is our largest planet in our solar system.

7. It’s the perfect day for spell work, specifically ones working with strength, abundance, prosperity, healing and wealth.

8. This day is really all about giving your time, using kind words, positive energy, enhancing your skills and even random acts of kindness. Don’t do anything selfish on Thursdays.

9. The metal for Thursday is Tin

10. Incense on this day will be our cinnamon, musk, nutmeg and sage.

11. Our oils for Thursday will be clove, lemon balm, oakmoss and star anise.

12. Thursday Jupiter colors will be our blues, purples and greens.

13. Our stones are the amethyst, lapis lazuli, sodalite, turquoise and sapphire which pull the wonderful blues, green and purple colors.

14. Thursday Jupiter day plants will be Beech, buttercup, cedar, anise, cinnamon, dandelion, honeysuckle, agrimony, nutmeg, oak and sage.

15. Spell work for the office on Thursday will be making an abundance jar or a money jar  … of course we can make a money satchel to keep in our desk drawer or even a charm bag.

16. Drinking tea on Thursday is good, specifically a tea that helps with memory, attention and our ability to learn

17. Dress up on Thursdays. This is a big day with a lot of big energy. Thors day brings that god of thunder excitement to our workday.

18. And finally … Jupiter is represented by your first finger on your hand …. so if you want to pull that Jupiter power with your rings, the energy will work with leadership, power, money, authority, spirits, and self-esteem. For an extra punch … Be sure to wear a ring with a stone like amethyst, lapis lazuli or blue topaz to harness that Thursday Jupiter energy.

I hope your 2023 is off to a great start!  I'll talk with you next week.

Today's episode is all about how to make our 2023 goals.  

Goals give you direction (a roadmap) and clear reminder of what you want …. and what you are going to do to have them completed by a certain time. Think about what you are willing to do. Sometimes goals “sound” good, but we are not willing to work or sacrifice to have them. And maybe they “sound” good because you think other people value them, but you yourself don’t. Those types of hollow goals will end up collecting dust because they do not align with your vision or your greatest good. For my individual goals …. I have my bubble with my word or phrase in it. I have the titles of the 6 areas/buckets drawn out from the bubble. Again those can be;

Spiritual – these are your beliefs and personal development

Physical – this is taking care of your physical body

Intellectual or Personal Development – this area is your learning, knowledge and mind

Family and Relationships – this area is for your family, friends and romance

Social Interest & Fun – this is going to be for your hobbies and things you enjoy

Career & Finances – this area is for you job, education, savings & financials security

When drafting your goals, you want to pull from what motivates you and what inspires you. What motivates you? This is going to be your reason for doing it. What inspires you? This is going to be what creates your action, your desire to act on the motivation. Compartmentalizing …… helps! Get those goals organized into categories or buckets and give each goal a completion date. And then below each goal list out your baby steps … of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by. Rewrite your goals into something that looks neat and organized and POST IT ….. put it somewhere that will continually remind you what you are doing all of this for – that goal word, your theme for 2023.

I hope your 2022 year was amazing! I'll talk with you next week ... and next year!

Hi and thank you for joining me for episode #12 - Elements / Water.  I love the balance Elements bring into our lives and this episode does a general overview of the element of water.

Quick review of the element water  ….

1. The element of water represents the direction of the West

2. Our zodiac signs for water are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

3. Our two planets are the Moon and Venus

4. Magical tools to use for water work are a caldron, chalice, bowl and scrying mirror

7. Things you can do using the element of water are ritual baths, magical waters (like my favorite ….moon water, sun water, storm water and rose water).

     f. And then using Magical water properties (such as water from a lake, river, sea, well, etc)

     g. And then using Magical water properties (such as water from a lake, river, sea, well, etc)

9. And then ways to bring the element of water into your office and work are going to be

          b. Use moon water for your office essential oil and herbal sprays

          c. Collect and use dew drops for your office spell work
