Wednesday is the day of Mercury and is good for spells to assist money-making ideas, clear communication, persuasion, versatility, improving memories, increasing logic, examinations and tests, for learning  especially new technology, short holidays, conventional healing (especially surgery) Wednesdays are also portent of business negotiations, dealing with debt, repelling spite, malice and deceit. It is for this reason that Mercury spells should always be used with a pure and honest intent. Wednesday is traditionally associated with divination and seeking answers.

Mercury hour spells are good for finding a quick way out of difficult or uncomfortable situations and for encouraging good will from others.

Mercury rules Gemini (22 May – 21 June) and also Virgo (24 August – 22 September). Mercury magick is most potent during these periods. For people born under this sign, spells are particularly powerful during this period.

Archangel Raphael rules Mercury, and as such, Wednesday is Raphael’s day. As the Harmoniser, Raphael provides healing of all kind, brings guidance to anybody who is lost (physically, emotionally or spiritually) and protects children and young people. He can be invoked for all health matters, spiritual knowledge or insight and to help alleviate daily worries. Raphael heals technological and chemical pollution as well as healing the negative effects of modern living. This Archangel responds to (yellow) Jasper and Clover in addition to the crystals and herbs listed above.

You can, of course, buy any combination of crystals and build on that as you go. If your interest is specifically in Chakras and crystals, then the list of starter crsytals would not  be the same. I will post a starter pack specifically for chakras. Read the rest of this entry »

In other words, we strive to understand our inner dimensions and the hidden qualities of life by giving external objects a meaning. This allows us to analyse and understand those inner qualities in a way that moves beyond the need for words. Read the rest of this entry »

A simple definition of divination is that “Divination is an attempt to foretell the future or to discover knowledge by interpreting omens or by using paranormal or supernatural powers”.

Many techniques have been used over the years and most readers will be familiar with the technique called pendulum dowsing. I recently found a list of divination techniques on the web, but cannot find my reference note so I’m not able to credit the source. Some of the other techniques (and there are some weird techniques) are: Read the rest of this entry »

Pendulums have been used for centuries. They come in various shapes, materials and sizes. Like choosing a Tarot Deck, the choice of a pendulum is very personal.
