Lunar Eclipse with Full Moon in Aquarius water~~~~

Hello Everyone,

I recently received a question from one of you asking about Lunar Eclipse water for this coming August Lunar Eclipse.

"Dear Ms. Q,

Were going to have an eclipse on the full moon this month, is there anything special about it and should I put out water for it?"

All Lunar Eclipses are special and in what sign they occur in determines it's use.

This one is very special. 

On August 18 we will be experiencing another Lunar Eclipse, and this time the moon will be in the sign of Aquarius, an air sign but this is also a portal for the mind.

As we all know a Lunar Eclipse is the Full Moon but with magnified powerful energies.   Any magical workings done at the time of a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will be extra powerful, especially either protection or dark workings--- since the Lunar Eclipse last for several hours, it gives us time to help build up our protections to our home and ourselves (i.e. shields and wards), or to make oils and powders for protection or to banish someone or something the energy is given extra “oomph”.  

On the down side, this is also the time for any negative workings as well as all magic depends upon the intent of the practitioner.

But this may be a very powerful Lunar Eclipse, since neither the Sun or the moon are in conjunction with any fixed star, so this Lunar Eclipse will be as pure as possible which will be creating an very interesting yet dangerous playing field, because this Eclipse will radiate passion and violence.     

 Any lunar eclipse is also Portal Energy, so if you want to gather water infused with this lunar eclipse this would be a very good one to get because it can lead us other worlds.

Eclipse Magic is considered a very powerful force in doing magical workings, it can create portals and communication with other worlds in order to empower one’s magical workings

It is believed that the Full Moon in August is believed to open a portal or communication to the Fairies. Fairies are nature spirits who can be very powerful and, like humans, some are good some not. If one wishes to establish communication with Fairies one needs to apply wisdom and have inner integrity that is if one wishes to do fairy magic or be in communication with the nature spirits.

As you all know I’m really big on collecting spiritual waters, I myself do not do fairy magic, but I have used this type of water, the last time many years ago, to understand what I needed to do in my garden and to also not upset any nature spirits.  

Centuries ago, up until the beginning of the 20^th century independent Farmers and those people who grew gardens of vegetables and flowers would talk to the land, to the nature spirits.  And then would sort of listen to see how to use the land, unfortunately, during the depression of the 1930’s , not understanding the land led to the 1930’s dust bowl conditions in the U.S. and Canada.  

Now those who work the land in their own back yards or do small acre homesteading understand the land and nature much better, and in their own way, listen to the nature spirits.   Even my parents and my Granny did.   

Some years ago when my Husband was working Military Security, he was at a military station that had a lot of forest, every time he got into his vehicle before he step into it he’d say “Little people (meaning nature spirits) I’m just doing my patrol today, please make sure no animal runs out in front of me, and I hope to make sure I don’t hit anything”.   He never had any problems, it got so the other security officers would do the same thing, because sometimes they’d see something that was odd, but one guy got fed up and said he didn’t believe in all that stuff and announced it very loudly when he got into the patrol vehicle,   my husband said, in front of his fellow officers, “It doesn’t pay to piss off the little people.”

Well sure enough about 45 minutes later this guy radio’s in, his vehicle has a flat and he doesn’t have a spare, which was odd because everyone swore there was a spare on the back of the vehicle when he left to start his patrol.    When he was brought in everyone looked at the tire, and a small but very sharp stick almost like an arrow had pierced the side of the tire,  not the tread, but the side of the tire as if a very small person had shot an arrow into it, and there was no spare tire.

My husband said to the guy “See! I told you, don’t piss off the Little People!”   Needless to say that guy and everyone in the Security Unit started their patrols by asking the Little People to help them.

So if you want to do fairy magic workings or communicate with other worlds if you put out water to collect this energy would be good or even better, if you are at a lake or river and the full moon shines down on it during the eclipse that would be good to collect as well.   

Go onto the internet and find out when the Lunar Eclipse will occur in your area.

Bright Blessings,

Ms. Q

Using the Liquid Fire of the Perseids

Hello everyone,

I’m still pulling myself together and I will get to the rest of your questions that you have asked as soon as I can, but I needed to answer this one since we are now experiencing the Perseid Meteor shower right now.

I got a question from one of my blog readers asking about meteor showers and this person wrote:

“Dear Ms. Q,

I read that we are going to be having a really big meteor shower in August, is there anything magical that we can do with this?”

Well yes we can, meteor showers happen fairly frequently, about a year or two ago a meteor crash into a lake in Russia and caused earthquake conditions when it passed over head, I don’t know if geologists found it, but it is considered by the ancients to be something mystical, something coming from the heavens, from the Gods or God if you will, and a meteorite stone was considered sacred. 

We seem to have a meteor shower at least once a month

January-- Quadrantids,  Around the March equinox … fireball season, April-- Lyrids, May Eta --Aquarids, July Delta --Aquarids, August-- Perseid, October--Draconids, October--- Orionids, November ---South Taurids and North Taurids  and Leonids and rounding off in December Geminids.

They take their names from the constellation where they appear to emanate from. 

Even though we have several meteor showers throughout the year the Geminids, the Leonids, the Draconids,  to my Granny the Perseids was considered by her to be the most potent.  Maybe because we’d see a lot of meteors with the Perseids, perhaps because it was/is more showy.

Either way Granny would put out several bottles of spring water and at least 6 white candles to “absorb” the energy of the Perseid meteor shower.   She’d call it “Liquid Fire”, now this is to not be confused with flammable liquids like gasoline or kerosene or even hard whisky or moonshine which one of my uncles use to do during Prohibition (and the police knew about it but his stuff was clean, not poisonous and it was mostly for local indulgence, ah yes a few of those cops on the beat would stop by my uncle’s place and ask if he had any medical liquid to take care of the aches and pains---well I better stop going down memory lane)

So why are they called the Perseids? Because they appear to fall from the constellation Perseus. The name derives in part from the word Perseides (a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus. (Wikipedia; Perseids).  In Greek mythology, Perseus was known as a hero. He slayed the gorgon Medusa and rescued the beautiful Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus. Perseus took the head of Medusa to Olympus to become the powerful shield of Goddess Athena. Perseus was believed to ride the magnificent winged horse, Pegasus. Perseus was also the son of Zeus and a mortal woman named Danaë, whom he impregnated while in the form of a shower of gold – similar to the shower of fiery gold that will cross the skies on those nights.

Legend has it that Perseid Meteor shower is literally magical fire and this concept continued into the Catholic beliefs in regards to St. Lawrence.   Some Catholics refer to the Perseids as the "tears of Saint Lawrence" who was burnt alive,  he defied authority and for that he was put on a grill and slowly roasted to death, so it is believe that his spirit is suspended in the sky but returning to earth once a year.  It was and is not unusual for the early Christians to grab onto a pagan idea of belief and add it to their belief that is why when someone tells me they are a Catholic or Christian Witch (not Wiccan) I don’t dispute it.

Even the Eastern Pomo Indian (North Central California) thought meteors were fire dropping from heaven.  And some Native American Shamans if they found a piece of a meteor would keep it as a powerful magical charm.

Many ancient Greek and Roman temples would have a meteor rock embedded in their altars since it came from the heavens there for it came from the Gods, much like the Catholic Church would have relics of a Saint embedded into their altars to sanctify the church.

As I said my Granny preferred the Perseids because it would show up better and also because it occurred during the hot month of August (Northern Hemisphere) or astrological sign of  Leo (not to be confused with the Lionied meteor shower), there for to her it was water as Sacred Fire in liquid form for blessing (but not for getting burned).

How she used it depended upon the magical working she was doing,  I know one time when I was a little girl I was afraid of a bully at school, so my Granny bought a stuffed animal in the shape of a dog, and she blessed it with the Meteor water, to give it fiery protective energy, she named it “Wolf” and ever since then that bully never bothered me, although I had to leave “Wolf” at home when I went to school he was with me the rest of the time, Granny told me to think of him in his most fierce look, and if the bully came near me I thought of “Wolf” and I’d be left alone.   I still have “Wolf” he’s a bit worn out with some bare spots but he sits next to me on my nightstand and continues to protect me.   Later on I found out that my spirit animal is the wolf. 

So she used it to infuse “life” into something inanimate to become a guardian, she also would sprinkle a bit of this water at all four corners of her property to keep away any kind of fiery accidents, which nearly happened,  one day one of  Granny’s next door neighbor’s house caught on fire for some reason and the wind was blowing the flames towards my Granny’s house, but it never caught fire, now I’m not saying that this worked but on a spiritual level it certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Wishing Candles

Now about the Wishing Candles, Granny based this on the belief that if you saw a falling star (ie meteor) you should make a wish on it,  Granny would put out at night no less than 6 white candles and use the same Perseid Meteor Shower energy of these “falling Stars” to infused the candles with wishing energy, the candles would be white, that way by using herbs or oils for the type of wish you want the candles “falling star wishing energy” would be directed to that wish.  She would then bring the candles in just before dawn, so the sun’s rays would not soften the candle as well as “wash away” the energy.

Now when is the Meteor showers occurring, well it’s happening right now till about August 22, but the height of the showers which is the best time to put out your candles and water is between August 11 to the 12^th being the highest peak time.  

Best way to see them, well a very clear night,  between midnight and just before dawn, don’t bother using a telescope or binoculars because they will be like fireflies quick and fleeting, look up on the internet the Perseid Meteor shower to find out what location to look at to see them and the best time for viewing.   With luck you may even see an “earth grazer” which is a meteor that comes so close to the earth that it leaves a shimmering trail of sparks.

The holy day of prayer for St. Lawrence happens to be on August 10^th, which coincides with the meteor shower. 

Should you happen to be able to purchase a tiny piece of a meteorite then spiritually speaking (even a tiny piece) meteorites are considered a gift from another world. Many cultures consider the Meteorite to be sacred and are considered to have supernatural powers. It provides introspection to the thoughts of enlightened beings and promotes the reality of all that is. Meteorite is an excellent stone for walk-ins; providing them with a stabilizing effect with respect to unfamiliar behavior patterns and new environments, because most meteorites are made of nickel and iron it has serious grounding properties.

Associations:

  Associated Crystals: Iron pyrite, hematite and lodestone.

    Candle Color: Gold.

    Chakra: All.

    Element: Spirit but primarily Fire and Earth

    Flowers & Plants: Lotus, madonna lily and papyrus.

Metaphysical Properties & Uses:

Do not use a meteorite on:

    Animals: Meteorite should not be used with animals.

    Children: Meteorite should not be used with children.

Since most meteorites are composed mostly of nickel and iron it would be to heavy an element to use on children and animals.  This is to not be confused with tektites.

  It can be used for: 

    Health & Healing: Meteorite can be used for distance healing but is also very good for helping addictions, bad habits and phobias.

    Home: It will help to protect your home. Meteorite will also help you with any life transformation.

    Protection: It is protective against fire. In modern times it has also been used to protect against bombings and hijackings.

    Psychic: Meteorite is a magical stone containing unique energies. It is very good for channeling, dream work and meditation. It will also help astrologers to be more accurate.

    It Is The Stone Of: Astrologers and healers. Talisman for all.

     Work: It will help protect your workplace.

Keep it in a red or gold color bag so it won’t get lost.

Even if you do not put out water or candles to gather the “liquid fire” just seeing this outer space event is something that everyone should see at least once in their life.

Bright Blessings,

Ms.  Q

Slowly coming out of depression~~~~

Dear Readers,

This is Ms. Q.

Thank you all for your good wishes of sympathy on the loss of my family member, it has hit us emotionally harder than expected.

Only now am I finally slowly climbing out of the abyss of grief. 

There were moments of clarity where I felt much better and was able to answer a few questions, and then something would happen and send me right down back into that black hole of loss and emptiness.  

The old Victorians had the right idea that mourning should take a year, a year of deep mourning and then a 2nd year of lighter mourning, when things begin to be lighter but the loss is still felt.

In this 21st century I've encountered people who seem to think a person should get over it in a week and get right back into the "swing of things"------ If they only knew, if they really only knew.

With all the deaths that are happening here in the USA, and overseas, in Nice, France most recently, people should understand it can take years to come to terms with grief, you don't get over it, you only come to terms with it. 

Then all you can do to fill the hole left in you by your loss, is to mentally and emotionally plant a rose for remembrance, to release the butterfly of spirit, and let it soar into the heavens, to look up at the stars and although they are suns with planets revolving around them, so far distant, you can't help but feel that on one of those planets revolving around one of those star/suns there is life, and it goes on.

And perhaps from those star/suns the spirit of your loved one is looking at you so many light years away and is thinking of you as well. 

My niece is taking this hard as well, and we are being supportive of each other, knowing when to give a little space, when to speak, when to not speak and let the other work out their own thoughts.

For those of you who have posted questions to me, like more than a month ago, I have not forgotten you,  and I want to answer your questions clearly, with a clear and thoughtful mind and heart.

And I hope to start doing it soon, one question at a time, one clear focus at a time.

To help me get my mental focus back, I've been working on a post about the Perseid Meteor Shower
which is happening Now to August 23!!   I call this Fire Energy, and for those of you who collect, or gather energy water, you should do it at night when the meteors are showing,  I understand the high point will be August 12 through 14, but depending upon cloud conditions start collecting it now especially if your sky area is clear.

In my next blog post I'll explain why this should be added to you collection of sacred waters.

Blessings to all of you for your kind thoughts and your patience,

Ms. Q

To All an Update~~~

Hello Everyone  This is Ms.Q,

I'm sorry I have not posted anything for a while and I know there are some folks  who have posted questions to me some as far back as May.

I must apologize.

Sometimes things happen, especially if one is close or as close to possible to family members.

I had come back having visited many family members been to several graduations and a couple of weddings.

And I must confess I am glad that the happy events out number the sad events, but soon after I had posted the last time and managed to answer some questions I received sad news that my younger sister was in the hospital and dying.

I was glad to be with her in her last moments, she and I always got along very well and shared many, many adventures even though I may not have mentioned her but she was there with me on a number of events, and it is her daughter my niece who is taking care of me.  And this has been difficult for her as well. 

We are both pulling ourselves together and emotionally re-grouping. 

And I am sure many of you who have lost loved ones can understand.

I will be back to posting more spiritual information and I'll be answering your questions as well in a few more days.

Thank you  all.

Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q

To those who have posted questions and I have not yet answered---Please read~~~

My Dear Readers,

Some of you have posted questions to me and I have not as yet responded,  well first I was away with family and in my life family comes first and I had no desire to miss out on their weddings and graduations.

Also it was my chance to see family members that I have not seen in years, which was exciting for this old lady.

But do not fret.

I will answer your questions however I need to warm some of you, you may not be happy with the answer.

Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q

How does one read the symbols in melted wax?~~~

“Dear Ms. Q,

When my candle melts down I’ve got these images at the bottom, they look like something, does it mean anything?”

Well We are right back to Candle magic which is one of the oldest types of magical workings, other than fire or water magic,  but candles can tell us the progress or possible results of what is working and not working in magical practices.

One of the more difficult things to interpret is the images left over from the melted wax from candles, now I am talking about free standing candles not ones in glass holders or those little metal cup tea lights,   I’m talking about those that are free standing in a candle holder and the wax that melts down and around it. 

First let’s talk about safety when working with a freestanding candle:

After you have ritually prepared it and lit it you have to make sure it is not going to set anything, anyone (human or animal adult or child) on fire, nor you home or apartment on fire.

Even though the candle is set in a candle holder, it should sit on top of a metal plate like the kind one would use to bake a small pizza, this should be placed in an area that is not reached by small children or pets, and far away from anything flammable, If you have a fireplace that you can’t use that is perfect, provided that you put a fire screen in front of it that a child or pet cannot knock down, some people will put it into a bath tub provided that it does not have any kind of plastic or cloth curtains near it in any way.   Another thing is to put a very large glass Hurricane shade around it and again away from anything flammable.

I’ve know people who do not have pets or children to use the middle of their kitchen table as a safe place,   some people will place it inside a bowl of water, which in a way kind of defeats the purpose but is still safe and can still be magically workable.   

Now some of you are wondering why am I harping or nagging or going on and on about fire safety, well two very good reasons----

The first reason of course is the practical side of it.

It’s too easy to become careless, and children and pets are curious creatures, and it doesn’t take much for something to catch on fire, including a living creature.

I have read of people burning candles in their closet thinking that is safe, but only to have their home burn down. 

I do know of one person who has a closet that she removed the rods and some of the shelves etc. and even removed the carpet out of it and since it was of fairly good size, she had that as her altar area and would burn her candles there, she also kept a good size fire extinguisher just outside the space for any emergencies, which made sense.

The second reason is spiritual magical workings that are being worked against you.

Yes, that is exactly what I said.  

That was because and I saw it happen myself, a friend of mine felt that something was being worked against her and was doing a protection ritual which involved candles, I was there to help her, and I saw one of the candles that I knew had been put solidly in its holder, slowly work itself out and tip over lighting the wool carpet on fire.   The good thing is that the carpet was wool and not any form of nylon, we were able to quickly put it out and extinguish the fire, and snuffed out the rest of the candles.   There was no way the candle could have worked itself out, it was like it was being slowly pulled out by something invisible.

So we had to do a complete cleansing of her house and property and re-new her shields/wards, and with the help of someone else we were able to find out who was working against her and this time the ritual went perfectly and the person who was trying to harm her was “neutralized”. 

That is why I harp, nag, constantly repeat myself on fire safety.

Now about the symbols as read in the wax,  a lot of it is what you may want to interpret, but when I was starting out I had a hard time, my Granny said that in a way the symbols have to be read like one reads tea leaves or coffee grounds.

The candle is the center of your being so any symbols close to it means it will manifest any time between a few days to a week,  the symbols further away means it will manifest later in time anywhere from a month to a year, depending on what type of spiritual calendar you put on it, but usually, I would say a month.

Some people look at the candle like a clock a 12 hour clock, but you have to decide which side is “Zero Hour”   that is why I prefer candle holders that have a handle, because the handle can be “Zero hour” then moving in a clock wise direction go 1, 2, 3 etc. and ending at 12   each house represents the month 1 is January, 2 February etc. to 12 which is December, again closest to the candle soon, further away later.

Now this is in reverse of reading it in a tea cup but I’ve found that it works that way for me, because the candle is the activation. 

O.K. now about the symbols, here I have to be very honest with you deal readers, there are so many with so many meanings, it would take me a month just to write it all out, BUT I’m am not going to leave you guess on it.

I have found several web sites that give a very clear interpretation of the symbols, now I’ve found that the 2^nd web site includes arrow directions and a few other things to the meanings, so I suggest that you all print the meanings out for your own person books, and compare them to make definitive notations for yourself.

It does mean a lot of work but you should see my manual on it, it takes an entire binder, but it’s how I interpret the meanings, I’ve found that it’s best for each individual through their own experience as well as their own psychic ability to develop it.

So here are the Web sites for you and I hope you will find them useful.
