FEBRUARY'S ASTROLOGICAL TRENDS by Ingrid Jeffries
February opens with the lively Leo Moon Full Moon opposing the Sun, Chiron and Pallas in Aquarius emphasizing the need to 'do your own thing'. In the evening sky we can now see Saturn and the star Regulus near this Full Moon.
 by Karen Charboneau-Harrison  Here at Isis Books and Gifts we often receive emails with questions regarding all kinds of spiritual and magickal matters. Here's one which we feel many of you out there would like to ask: Question: Why don't all of my spells work? I'm not exactly a beginner and I think I know what I'm doing, but sometimes my spells work right away, sometimes they take a while and sometimes they never happen. Am I doing something wrong? Answer: Spell work can be a tricky business and there could be several reasons why a spell doesn't work. I'm assuming that you are planning your rituals by the moon phase and doing them on the correct planetary day, using the right candle colors, herbs, oils and all that. Here are some questions to ask yourself: READ THIS ARTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY... IMBOLC (also called Oimelc, Candlemas, Feast of
Lights, Imbolg and Brigit's Day) is a time of purification and a celebration
of the continued growth of Light. In our pastoral and agrarian past, it was
the time that the ewes were giving birth to the new lambs and two of this
festival's names show this connection. Imbolc or Imbolg means 'in the belly'
and Oimelc means 'ewe's milk'. Candlemas is the combination of the words
'candle' and the Scottish 'maes' (feast), a time of celebration and feasting
to mark and honor the growing strength of the Sun and the promise of spring to
come.

First, we need to talk about some ethics.... This ritual is designed to help
bring a great love to your life. It directly asks the Divine to determine
who is best suited to you (and vice versa) and bring them into your life -
not to break up someone else's relationship so that you can have your whim,
or to bind a specific individual who you have in mind to you in love. Those
types of actions are unethical because they thwart the free will of other
people for your personal gain. Besides, you don't really know as clearly as
the Divine who will be best suited for you - you are judging on looks, money,
sexiness or whatever mundane quality and that quality is not the one that
necessarily helps to create a relationship that will last for life (or many
lifetimes). For this ritual, you must be ready to accept what the Divine
brings you and you must be ready for REAL love in your life.
Whether you are just falling in love or you're a newlywed who still hasn't come down to earth after the honeymoon, it's essential to learn the fine art of communication.
by Mabel Iam, From the Witch's Well Magickal Archive Erotic dancing is a spontaneous act of seduction, as natural as a bird's love call. Dance is one of the most ancient forms of communication and expression. It is even older than spoken language. Where words sometimes hide deeper truths that only the body can guess at, dance brings humans closer to nature. Dance brings us closer to the animal kingdom, to mammals, to birds, to insects, to fish - all of which dance with the specific goals of mating, signaling danger, locating food, or fighting over territory. Dance is not only a source of physical pleasure. It also soothes the mind as it openly expresses feelings and ideas. As a matter of fact, people in some cultures dance until they fall into a trance or alter their state of consciousness. Shamans in some tribes, for example, dance around in a trance to heal mental and physical ailments in others. READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE...

"Come sit next to me. I'd like to teach you an ancient craft. Now draw a dot and concentrate all your energy into the dot. It is the beginning and the end, the navel of the world... When you whirl or circle your pelvis, you are drawing the dot, the origins. From this shape all other movements are born-they all stem from this dot, from the navel in your belly." Grandmother Fawzia Grandmother's Secrets: Ancient Rituals and Healing Power of Belly Dance by Rosina-Fawzia Al-Rawi.
