It is a lazy, restful time

here in the forest glade.

The sun is departing, the stars arriving

and the trees are a darkening jade.

An air of buzzing, drowsing stillness

invades the meadow, lends weight to my head

as I settle down – bedroll, backpack

and strains of music are seemingly played

A deep, cool, dark pool is here,

mirror clear, reflections of skies,

as peace fills my mind, my soul

and sleep gently touches my eyes.

I know not whether I was awake, or in dream

or how much time had passed,

when I felt the magic of this place

camped there, upon the grass.

No sounds – no crickets? (The Music!)

As the Moon awakens the pool, so bright.

Why this anticipation, premonition,

this magical feeling, this ghost haunted night?

Then, a Siamese cat enters the meadow-

silver grey, regal composure, flowing lines.

And somehow I know – I see intelligence

and wit, and power, as she looks into my eyes.

How does she speak without speaking?

But somehow, she communicates good will, and cheer.

‘Stay quiet, childe of man.’, she says.

‘Be still – you are but a guest here.’

Then a parade of feline musicians

wandered in singing from the right.

I shake my head *bedazzled*; Am I dreaming, or mad?

Why me – here to witness this eldritch sight?

A troupe of dancing, cavorting gnomes

made their appearance upon a rocky stage.

And following them: silver clad, haughty elves

accompanied by a wizened old mage.

Now, many strange but noble presences made manifest

on that starlit night in June.

And I witnessed and heard sweet music, high magic, and secrets

until dawn, with the passing of the Moon.

And the highbred Queen of Cat Folk

smiled with warmth, and left.

Left me shaking with these visions,

and nodding, I finally slept.

I return often to these stately woods, seeking

but never finding the sacred pool, so bright.

It makes me sad – very sad to think

that it was but a dream, a peculiar night.

But sometimes, at the edge of sleep,

soft music slowly beckons, and calls.

And I know with every fibre of my being

that I will again visit these magical sylvan halls

Bring a torch, O brothers and sisters
Bring a torch, light Yule fires bright
We gather this night to wait for the dawning
come Quickly; I see the first rays of light
Ah, Ah, How radiant the Mother
AH, ah, How brightly shines the Sun

Sing in praise of our gracious Lady
sing in Praise of her glorious Son
The Wheel has turned
tis time for the new year
Dance gaily; we shall welcome the Sun
Ah, Ah, How radiant the Mother
AH, ah, How brightly shines the Sun

Tune:  “Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella”

The basic belief of astrology is linked with the hermits saying “as above so below”. The position of the planets directly above the place of a person at the time of their birth is mapped on to a chart (or diagram). Then the position and relationship between the celestial bodies are interpreted.

The Diagram is a circle, which is divided into 12 sections one for each of the 12 signs of the zodiac. And by knowing the position of a particular (the Sun) celestial body the other planets positions can be calculated. The Celestial bodies used in the chart are the Sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (Reclassified as Dwarf Planet).

Once the positions of the celestial bodies are marked out on the charts lines are drawn connecting the planets if the are in a set about of degrees. You would start with one planet and measure the distance between and the next if it falls in a set number of degrees you would draw a line a different coloured line to represent the type of connection (Conjunction (0°), Opposition (180°), Square (90°), Trine (120°), Sextile (60°), Semi-Square (45°), Sesqisquare (135°), and Quincunx (150°). ) and you will then move to the next planet until all the connections are made.

This diagram is then used to interoperate a horoscope or Natal chart.

Science has informed us that we are made from male and female energy and that we have DNA that is formed into pairs.

As human beings we are born into a mould that has equal male and female energy and as we grow the balance of energy shift to more masculine or more feminine. If you are male you do not lose the feminine energy you just may not use it to often and vice versa.

There are people whose external package does not fit their internal energy very butch women or very effeminate men. There are even people whose internal energy is in conflict with their appearance they choose to change the external appearance.

These masculine (M) and feminine (F) energies exist in all of nature and the universe as a witch we use these energies for empowering spells and charms and performing ritual and rite.

The M and F energies are not separate energies but unequal energies in-group work it becomes easier to balance M/F energies, as groups tend to be male female male female and so on so on. As a solitary practitioner it not so easy to balance the energies but over the years I have learned to accept my feminine side and masculine side as equals. .

In groups the priestess would normal become the goddess in the calling down the moon rite or drawing down the moon, While the priest would become the god in the calling down the sun rite. The individual in the rites assume the total masculine energy to become the god and total feminine energy to become the goddess.

In some groups will only ever have a woman call down the moon and a man call down the sun as a solitary practitioner I have preformed both rites myself and have had very extraordinary experiences as the goddess.

So how do you become aware of your internal energy balance, firstly visualise your self as the opposite sex then visualise your self having a conversation with you opposite side ask it all the question you ever wanted to know about the opposite sex. The more you understand about the opposite sex the more you will be able to relate and call on that energy. Do this regularly to gain more understanding it will not just help in magickal working but also in your daily life.

Also have fun with you new found understanding of masculine or feminine energies and women practice the calling down the sun and men practice calling down the moon.

When it comes to Magicks and Witch Craft a good set of Correspondences are important, but like all things in magick personal input will help you create a set of correspondence that are personal to you improving your magickal skills.

Below is a set of basic correspondences the days of the week, the planets and astrological influences i have also included the planetary hours which can be a little confusing but the easiest way to understand it is the number in the hour column relates to the hour after sunrise in day planet hours and the hour after sunset in night planet hours. Her is an example if you want the hour of mars on a monday and sunrise is 6.45 you can see that mars is in the 4th hour so add 4 hours to sunrise time for the start of the hour of mars (the hour would start at 10.45am) you do the same with night hours using sunset as your starting time.

I have also included a table for spell craft correspondences no the tables below are nowhere nearly close to the number of different tables of correspondences but they are a starting point

• Table of Planetary Powers
• Table of Planetary Attributes
• Table of Planetary Daylight Hours
• Table of Planetary Night Hours
• Table Of Correspondences for Spellwork
