Spontaneous Poetry as Spellcraft ~

 



There are many types of poems. Some are stylized in specific patterns and rhythms; others are more free form and less structured. Poems can be rhyming or rhythmic (these types are especially effective in spellwork), they can be stories or tales, or they can be a string of words and symbolic imagery written “off the top of the head.” In the latter, abstract and arcane imagery become the essence of the work. I see this as a form of spiritual channeling or automatic writing, in which the writer acts as a conduit for words of the divine. I believe that all writing, to one degree or another, includes channeled musings. Is the writer or artist really “in control,” or is there something greater at work? Today, dedicate yourself to moments of spontaneous poetry writing. Keep a pen and paper with you throughout the day and take frequent breaks. Allow the words to “write themselves” with you as the conduit. Write down anything that comes to you, letting it flow smoothly. If you write a seemingly nonsensical string of words, take time in the evening to sit at your altar and meditate on their deeper meaning. You may also wish to construct the day’s poetry into a greater, longer piece of work.

HERBS

~ Bearberry (Uva Ursi) whole ~

Used for kidney and bladder infections, kidney stones, nephritis, diabetes, and hemorrhoids. Strengthens the heart muscle, used as a tonic, and helps disorders of the spleen, liver, pancreas, and small intestines. Used as a diuretic. Good for female disorders. Also used in bronchitis, gonorrhea, diarrhea, and to stop bleeding. It is not necessary to drink the tea for long periods, because acute symptoms generally will disappear within a few days with treatment of bearberry leaf tea. Historical or traditional use: The leaves and berries were used by numerous indigenous people from northern latitudes. Native Americans sometimes combined uva ursi with tobacco and smoked it. It was also used as a beverage tea in some places in Russia. The berries were considered beneficial as a weight-loss aid. It was found in wide use for infections of all parts of the body because of its astringent, or "drying", action.

DAILY DIETY:



Celtic Mermaid Necklace
Goddess of The Day: YEMAJA
Argungu (Nigeria)

Themes: Providence; Blessing; Luck; Fertility
Symbols: Fish; The Color Blue; the Crescent Moon

About Yemaja: Yemaja, the Nigerian Goddess of flowing water, bears a name that literally means "fish mother!" As such, Yemaja generates providence and fertility, especially on the physical plane. In legends she gave birth to eleven deities, the sun, the moon, and two streams of water that formed a lake. In art she's often shown as a mermaid or a crescent moon, and her favorite color is blue.

To Do Today: The theme for the day is definitely fishy. Not surprisingly, New Year festivities in Nigeria mark the beginning of the fishing season. Having a teeming net today portends prosperity for the rest of the season. So, what is it that you hope to catch today? Cast out your spiritual line to Yemaja for help in meeting or exceeding any goal.

To bite into a little luck, follow the example of Nigerian children.They make candies into fish shapes before this event, and then dunk for them. The one to retrieve the most gets the most good fortune. Check out your local supermarket's bulk candy section. Ours carries gummy fish that work very well for this activity. Consider including some type of fish in your menu today (even canned tuna will do the trick). Eat it to internalize good luck and a little of Yemaja's blessing.

STAR IQ
Moon in Virgo

The Moon enters critical Virgo at 12:39 am EST, helping us to prioritize the tasks ahead and then to concentrate on what we need to do next. Although we are usually able to focus our attention when the Moon is in Virgo, it may not be so easy today as she forms unsettling quincunxes with Mars, Venus and Jupiter. Rather than obsessing about external events, it is our dissatisfaction now that can create an endless loop of analysis that leads nowhere.
