Introduction to Psalm 11 Today, we are focusing on Psalm 11. In the practice of Psalm magic , this psalm is often associated with triumph over adversity, overcoming fear, reversing evil, and driving away demons. Today, I want to use Psalm 11 to invoke the law of cause and effect, drawing karma into play. I often hear people express frustration about two situations: either they feel that others are doing bad things to them without facing consequences, or they believe they are doing everything right, yet still not seeing positive outcomes. With today's session, we will align ourselves with the law of cause and effect through this psalm and strive to ensure that things work out as they are intended. The Process of Psalm Magic The process we use for Psalm magic is straightforward, simple, and effective. First, we take the Psalm in question and recite it out loud from start to finish without stopping. We refer to this as an incantation. Once we complete the incantation, we then go back through the Psalm, examining each verse individually. As we do this, we search for the hidden meanings and insights that lie beneath the words. While exploring these meanings, we also apply our findings to the specific situation for which we consulted the Psalm. We take the seeds of wisdom we discover and plant them in the fertile ground of our minds. These seeds take root, grow, blossom, and ultimately bear fruit. This is the journey we will embark on together as we work with Psalm 11. Psalm 11 (Authorized King James Version) 1. In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain"? 2. For behold, the wicked bend their bow; They make ready their arrow on the string, That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart. 3. If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do? 4. The Lord is in His holy temple, The Lord's throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. 5. The Lord tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. 6. Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind Shall be the portion of their cup. 7. For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright. The Ineffable Name of God When reading the King James Version of the Bible, where it says "Lord," the original Hebrew uses the Tetragrammaton: Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh. This term was considered by the ancient Hebrews to be the initials for the ineffable name of God. "Ineffable" means unspeakable. The reason we cannot pronounce this name is that we cannot define or name what is infinite. You cannot make finite that which is infinite. This is the mystery surrounding the ineffable name of God. The Tetragrammaton is regarded as the "ineffable name of God." It appears five times in the text, using the mention of God's name to create momentum throughout the Psalm. When it states, "In the Lord put I my trust," it symbolizes the universe's singular source, force, and substance. This name is considered ineffible because it is infinite; as soon as we attribute a name or an image to it, we diminish its essence. It remains unspeakable and unfathomable, representing pure power and creativity. The assurance that this singular force is on our side means that nothing can stand against us. This is why the practice of Psalm magic is so powerful. Each time we begin a Psalm, we orient ourselves toward this divine power, and our success is assured. "In the Lord, I put my trust." This signifies that I am placing all my trust in this singular power.  It makes practical sense: if there is only one source, we place our trust in that. We don't trust in something that is less than eternal, less than perfect, or less than powerful. Verse Analysis and Reflections 1 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? We don't know who the psalmist is addressing here, so let's assume it's a friend. This friend says, "You'd better just go hide; nothing will save you in this situation." But we are choosing to turn away from that friend's advice. We are rejecting what the world is telling us, what our egos are saying, and what our fears are insisting. Instead, we put our trust in the Infinite: "How can you tell me to run away, to retreat, or to just give up? No way—I refuse to do that." 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. The ego is always lurking, attempting to lead you toward self-destruction. Ignoring the fact that you have self-destructive tendencies won't help remedy this problem. Running away from it, as a friend might suggest, will not be beneficial. In Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), this is referred to as "pulling a geographic." The belief is that if you just move, your alcoholism will disappear. All your problems will vanish, as if alcoholism only exists in New York or California. But when you try to escape your issues, you inevitably bring them with you. You can't run away from your problems; you must confront them. What we're facing here are our own tendencies toward self-destruction. Here are our tendencies toward self-destruction. If you're facing challenges you dislike, it's important to look within first. This doesn't mean ignoring others' roles or responsibilities, nor does it mean blaming ourselves for our problems. It simply emphasizes that we are the main influence in our lives. 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? If everything feels ruined, what are we supposed to do? It’s an important question to consider. If we can't trust in the Infinite, where are we meant to turn? If we can't rely on the one source of the universe, what options do we have? We cannot look to the world for solutions to our problems.  Simply changing our location or rearranging our circumstances won’t resolve our issues. Instead, we must look to the Infinite. But where does the Infinite reside? Within us. Within us is the law of cause and effect. What causes are we activating? Are we responding to the impulses of our ego, or are we connecting with the essence of the Infinite? 4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. Here, the Lord is the law of cause and effect. The Lord resides in His holy temple, and He is always accessible. His throne is in heaven, representing the causative plane. His eyes observe, and His eyelids test the children of men. What you receive in life is a reflection of what you give out. This is how His eyelids test us—by examining our actions, thoughts, attitudes, and intentions. If you're unsure about your thoughts because you struggle to keep track of them, that's perfectly fine. You have the entire physical universe to help you understand your thoughts. You can simply look around you: What do you think about yourself? Consider your bank account, your relationships, and your health. While we aren’t claiming that any problems you have are solely your fault, what is happening in each of these areas does reveal your attitudes and the underlying causes in your mind. It's essential not to blame or criticize yourself; instead, focus on understanding. Realizing, for example, that you may have negative feelings towards someone can shed light on why you might be experiencing difficulties in that relationship or in other aspects of your life. So, let’s take a moment to explore this idea. When you learn that the causative plane exists within you—as an unseen force influencing your life—if you notice things that you don’t like, it suggests your thoughts may be contributing to those situations. This insight is good news because it shows you what you can control: your thoughts. 5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Love and hate are not about the Infinite loving some people and hating others; they represent the principle of cause and effect. The effects we dislike arise from causes that are not aligned with the Infinite. Conversely, the effects we love stem from causes that are in harmony with the Infinite. It’s not as though the Lord sits on a throne in heaven, handing down blessings and curses. Everything is inherent in the nature of things. Whatever you do tends to come back to you. It’s as though we live in a world of boomerangs and comebacks, primarily because we exist in a realm of time and space. For the screen of space to exist, time must also be present. To navigate a three-dimensional experience, we must have time. In the higher planes of existence, cause and effect occur simultaneously. However, in our three-dimensional world, due to the factor of time, these events unfold sequentially. Our effects seem to return to us at a later time to accommodate our capacity for experiencing space. This sequential nature is actually a blessing, giving us time to change something before it fully manifests. As you learn to monitor your emotions, thoughts, and energy field, you may notice, for instance, that negative energy is focused on something. This awareness allows you to alter that energy before it manifests. Many people become frustrated when their intentions take time to come to fruition, but this delay can also be a blessing. As you become more attuned to the causative plane within yourself, you can make adjustments before unwanted manifestations occur. Imagine how wonderful it would be to prevent a manifestation you don’t want before it materializes. That is indeed a blessing. 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. That sounds harsh. It can feel satisfying when you’re seeking retribution after someone has treated you poorly, and you might call upon the Lord or refer to a psalm to envision the consequences for your enemies. However, in this context, it’s important to understand that the "brimstone" mentioned refers to the turmoil you may experience, and you play a role in that. In fact, according to this psalm, you have the power to completely change your situation. The terms "loves" and "hates" refer to your ability to manifest outcomes. The effects you experience are a reflection of your own energy. If you’re unhappy with the results in your life, you have the opportunity to change your internal causes. People often react with frustration to this concept, thinking, "I didn't have anything to do with this." While you may not have contributed to the situation in the past, you do have influence now. Instead of pondering, "What did I do to deserve this?"—which only keeps you stuck in the problem—shift your focus to, "Where is my energy now, and how can I change it?" Consider where you stand on the causative plane and how you can work towards a positive change. Changing your thoughts, perceptions, and reactions is how you change your circumstances. 7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.  Righteousness refers to being in a clear and balanced state of mind. When you are in your "right mind," you can truly experience a direct connection with the Infinite. Although this connection exists regardless of your mental state, you become aware of it when you are in your right mind. However, when you are not in your right mind, you project your own issues onto "God's face." As a result, it may seem like God is punishing you, but in reality, it's your projections that create this perception. When you are in your right mind and at peace, allowing clarity on the causative plane, you and the Infinite are united, experiencing a true connection. This state fosters a perfect relationship. When you enjoy such a relationship, the outcomes in your life tend to be peaceful. Even challenges that arise can be dealt with quickly, easily, and efficiently, so they no longer cause you distress as they did before. This psalm demonstrates how much power you possess over the effects in your life. It’s a beautiful psalm, and if you can use it to understand your place on the causative plane, you are reclaiming your power. This allows you to manifest wonderful things in your life while also helping you eliminate undesirable circumstances. Final Thoughts In today’s world, where we encounter many unsettling manifestations, possessing the ability to manage our reactions is incredibly valuable. Everyone has this power, but only a few will truly harness it. Most people struggle to calm themselves enough to recognize and utilize this ability and thus change their circumstances. If you can achieve that calm, you will be ahead of the game and find yourself in a positive position. I encourage you to work with this psalm. Whatever issues you bring to it, make it a habit to revisit the psalm daily, applying its magic until you feel a sense of peace and certainty regarding your situation. When you attain that sense of peace and certainty, it signals that your spell has been cast successfully, and you no longer need to focus on it. You can also use this psalm more broadly. While I usually prefer to have a specific goal in mind, working with the psalm for general clearing and cleansing of the mind is immensely powerful as well. Thank you for reading my post. I truly appreciate you. Until next time, blessed be.

Take a moment to notice your heartbeat. This rhythmic pulse within us is a constant reminder of life itself, of the Infinite within. But have you ever stopped to consider where this heartbeat originates? It doesn’t come from our conscious effort; we don’t will it to happen. Instead, it is a gift, a function of a higher source that exists within us. This realization invites us to explore the deeper connection between our physical existence and the divine essence that sustains it. The heartbeat acts as a powerful metaphor for Jesus's teachings, who said, “The kingdom of heaven is within you.” Many of us are conditioned to see divinity as something outside— a deity or force that exists beyond us, controlling the universe from a distance. Others might believe in chaos, with no guiding force at all. But when we look inward, we find that the source of life, the creator, is within us. This shift in understanding helps us see ourselves as an essential part of the cosmos. Just as the sun’s rays emanate from the sun itself, we are extensions of the divine source. A sunray doesn’t seek its origin outside of itself because its source is inherently within it. Similarly, we don’t need to look outward to find the source of our being. It is within us, sustaining us, and connecting us to the infinite within. This realization is both humbling and empowering, reminding us that we are not separate from the divine but are, in fact, one with it. Acknowledging this oneness doesn’t mean taking credit for our existence. Just as we don’t consciously make our hearts beat, we cannot claim responsibility for the life force within us. Yet this force is undeniably present, a testament to the grandeur of the universe within each of us. Recognizing this truth opens the door to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our connection to the infinite. The Doorway to the Universe: Opening Inward The idea that the universe exists within us is both profound and transformative. It challenges the notion that we are small, insignificant beings in a vast cosmos. Instead, it invites us to see ourselves as microcosms of the universe, with the same creative force that governs the stars and galaxies residing within us. This understanding is not just philosophical; it is experiential. By tuning into our heartbeat, we can begin to feel the presence of this life force. The doorway to this inner universe opens inward. It is up to each of us to choose whether to step through it. This choice requires a willingness to pause, reflect, and turn our attention inward. Just as we can go through life without noticing our heartbeat, we can also ignore the deeper truths of our existence. However, when we take the time to acknowledge the power within us, we begin to see life in a new light. This inward journey reveals a power greater than we can comprehend, a power that sustains us and connects us to the infinite. It is the principle of life itself, a force that is always present, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. By recognizing this power, we can begin to let go of the false belief that we are separate from our creator. This belief in separation is the root of many of our struggles, from relationship issues to financial difficulties. When we experience our oneness with the source of life, we begin to see the flaws in the idea of separation. How can we be separate from the very force that sustains us? This realization has the power to transform our lives, helping us make healthier, more harmonious choices. It allows us to move beyond fear and embrace the truth of our existence: that we are one with the infinite. The Infinite Within: Spirit, Soul, and Mind The essence of our being is not limited to our physical bodies. We are spirit, soul, and mind—each an aspect of the infinite. Spirit is the indestructible, eternal essence from which we are made. It is invisible to the human eye, yet it is the foundation of our existence. To perceive spirit, we must use our spiritual sight, looking beyond the physical to the deeper truths that lie within. Our soul , too, is a reflection of the infinite. It is unique, just as our physical thumbprint is unique. This individuality is a gift from our creator, a reminder that while we are one with the infinite, we also have our own distinct expression of it. The soul’s oscillations, like the heartbeat of the body, continue indefinitely, connecting us to the eternal. The mind is another extension of the infinite. It is through our minds that we experience the world and create our reality. The same mind that inspired great thinkers and artists throughout history is available to each of us. However, our individual expression of this mind is unique, shaped by our experiences and choices. While the ego often creates a sense of separation, the truth is that all minds are connected, part of the one universal mind. Understanding these aspects of our being—spirit, soul, and mind—helps us see ourselves as more than just physical entities. We are divine creations, made in the image of our creator. This realization empowers us to live with greater purpose and alignment, knowing that we are not separate from the infinite but are integral parts of it. Living in Harmony with Divine Principles The infinite is not just a concept; it is a living presence that embodies principles such as truth, love, and law. These principles guide the universe and our lives, offering a framework for harmony and fulfillment. When we align ourselves with these principles, we experience the peace and joy that come from living in harmony with our true nature. Truth is one of the most fundamental aspects of the infinite. It is unchanging and eternal, unlike the illusions created by the ego. When we believe in lies—such as the idea that we are separate from others or that we are unworthy—we create disharmony in our lives. By seeking truth, we can move beyond these illusions and align ourselves with the infinite. Love is another essential principle. It is the essence of the infinite, the force that creates and sustains life. True love is not limited to human affection; it is a state of being that brings peace and compassion. When we express love, we align ourselves with the infinite and experience the joy of living in harmony with our creator. The principle of law reminds us that the universe operates according to divine order. Cause and effect govern our experiences, and our thoughts play a crucial role in shaping our reality. By aligning our thoughts with divine principles, we can create positive changes in our lives. This requires a shift in focus, from seeking external solutions to addressing the root causes within our minds. Finally, the principle of presence reminds us that the infinite is always with us. By tuning into our heartbeat, our breath, and the world around us, we can feel the presence of the divine. This awareness helps us live in the moment, free from fear and aligned with the infinite. It is a reminder that we are never alone and that the power to create a fulfilling life lies within us. Embracing the Infinite: A Call to Awareness The journey to understanding our oneness with the infinite begins with awareness. It requires us to recognize the power within us and take responsibility for how we use our consciousness. While we are not responsible for creating or sustaining our lives, we are responsible for how we direct our thoughts and actions. This responsibility is both a challenge and an opportunity, offering us the chance to align ourselves with the divine. When we find ourselves off course, we can choose to seek help from the infinite. This help is always available, but it requires us to open the door to it. By doing so, we invite the infinite to shine forth within us, bringing healing and transformation. This process is not instantaneous; it happens one step at a time, as we address the challenges and traumas that have shaped our lives. The key to this transformation is recognizing that the infinite is always present. It never abandons us, even when we feel lost or disconnected. By cultivating awareness and seeking alignment with divine principles, we can overcome the obstacles that hold us back and create a life of peace, joy, and fulfillment. In closing, remember that the infinite within is always present. The doorway to heaven opens inward, and it is up to you to step through it. By embracing this truth, you can live in harmony with the divine and experience the fullness of life. Thank you for taking this journey of reflection and discovery.

The Master Key To Getting What You Want Most of us desire happiness, although it can mean different things to different people. Essentially, we seek peace, joy, prosperity, fulfillment of our needs, good health, loving relationships, satisfying self-expression, and peace of mind. But what if there was a master key to getting what you want? Think of peace as a package deal . I remember the ads for the Sandals Resorts and Club Med. These products weren’t always perfect, but one great feature was that everything was included, so you didn’t have to worry about extra costs. You just showed up, and whatever you needed was there—your food, drinks, wine, entertainment, transportation, and excursions were all included. Peace can be viewed in the same way. When you have inner peace, it encompasses good health, prosperity, and fulfilling relationships. It also includes positive self-expression and anything that brings you joy or makes your heart sing. This is why peace is the master key to getting what you want in life. The challenge is that we often believe our needs are so diverse that we can’t possibly meet them all. There's always one challenge we’re juggling, and when we add another, we risk dropping the ball. I remember feeling this way a lot in my young adult life, struggling to find balance between my relationships, career, and home life. It often felt like something had to be sacrificed. The All-Inclusive Approach to Life The more I learned about the Craft and improved my practice, I stumbled upon the answer to a question I had been pondering for years: Why can't I have it all? The answer I discovered is this: Yes, you can have it all. However, you must recognize that you are not seeking everything on your own. You are not in control of every aspect of your life, nor are you the sole producer of your experiences. Instead, it’s about focusing on the master key to getting what you want—inner peace. When you focus on one all-encompassing goal and allow everything else to fall into place, that’s when life starts to work out. There is a powerful truth in this all-inclusive approach. An old medieval philosophical concept compares wisdom to a wheel, with the hub representing your relationship to the Onfinite, your creator, or your inner peace—these terms are synonymous. When you achieve inner peace, you become one with your creator. Each spoke of the wheel symbolizes different aspects of your life that stem from this central hub. One spoke might represent your relationships, another might symbolize your artistic expressions, one could represent your marriage, another for your family, and yet another for your finances. All these different spokes radiate from this single hub to form the entire wheel. Our focus should be on the hub, the center, allowing everything else to be natural outcomes that emerge from it. This hub is the master key to getting what you want. The Role of Judgment in Disrupting Peace In my several decades of life experience, both for myself and for those I’ve worked with, I’ve discovered that we veer away from our hub through our judgments of ourselves and others. This harmful tendency to judge can lead us to mistakenly believe that this is our role—that we are meant to judge. But judgment only takes us further from the master key to getting what you want. When we engage in self-judgment or judge others, it's because we forgot that judgment isn’t our role. It’s akin to thinking that you are responsible for keeping the Earth spinning or for keeping your heart beating, which is simply not the case. Imagine if you had to consciously keep your heart beating and accidentally forgot—that would be disastrous! But, thankfully, that responsibility doesn’t fall on you. At some point, we believed that it is our duty to judge, to determine if we or others are worthy of existence. The ego is clever; it won’t express this idea in blunt terms, as it’s too obvious for us to dismiss it. Yet, this is precisely what the ego assigns to us: to judge our worthiness to live and to evaluate the worthiness of others to live. Reconnecting with Inner Peace However, you don’t have to judge. This realization can be freeing. Thank goodness I don’t have to assess others, and I don’t need to judge myself either. The Infinite already knows the truth of who you are—better than you know yourself. The Infinite is not deceived by your ego or anyone else’s. The Infinite judges you based on the truth, which you aren't capable of grasping with a fragmented mind filled with beliefs in separation and ego. This is why, while in this state, it’s not your role to judge. How could you possibly judge? The most you can do is determine whether you like how something feels. That’s the extent of your judgment. You can determine, "I feel good," or "I don’t feel good," or, "I feel at peace," or "I don’t feel at peace." If you're not at peace, it simply means you need to reorient yourself. The peace already exists within you; it’s just a matter of reconnecting with it. This reconnection is the master key to getting what you want. Letting Go of What’s Not Real It's not something that you have to establish for yourself or create. You were created out of peace and love. Those qualities are part of the fabric of who you are. That’s why, when the Infinite judges you, it is something that you want. The Infinite says you are peace, you are love, you are happiness. All of these things are already true about you. It's just that you've superimposed a lot of other things on top that are not organic to who you are. That is what you are interacting with and reacting to—everything that’s not real. So, it’s not that you have to go out and make yourself better—you are already perfect. The thing we must do is let go of what’s not real. Many of the things we hold on to that aren't real are things we've actually come to love. Letting go of these false attachments is part of using the master key to getting what you want. The Power of Goodwill One of the ways we get tripped up with our joy, peace, and happiness is through judgment. Just as we need an object for our affection, we also need something to judge. This typically involves someone whose behavior seems highly "judgeable." We might think: "They’re awful. Look at them! They have no redeeming qualities. They deserve to go to hell. They deserve punishment. They deserve to have payback come their way." When we think this way, it's nearly impossible to find peace. And without peace, we lose the master key to getting what we want. Final Thoughts on the Master Key To Getting What You Want Peace is a complete package—it brings everything you desire. Anything that disrupts your peace becomes unacceptable because you've decided that only peace matters. You don’t eliminate negative influences by simply cutting them out; that approach is also a form of suppression. Instead, you should extend love and goodwill toward the person or situation causing you unrest. This action puts you back in control. When you embrace this understanding—recognizing that peace and joy are your goals—you’ll find that things begin to improve in all areas of your life. You won't need to juggle responsibilities or manage competing demands; everything will fall into place . This is the power of the master key to getting what you want. Florence Scovel Shinn said, "Let God juggle it," and this is how you allow that to happen: by prioritizing peace. The idea that "the kingdom of heaven is within you" underscores that when you find inner peace, everything will work out for you. It’s simple and practical. Thank you for reading! Until next time, blessed be.

The Role of Cursing in Magic One of the old axioms of the Craft tells us that a witch who cannot curse cannot heal. Magic can generally be divided into blessing magic and cursing magic. Even eliminating something from your life is a type of cursing. To curse something means to blast it, obliterate it, or undo it. You are saying "no" to that situation. You deny its power, and you deny its effect on you. Think about metabolism. There's always an anabolic and a catabolic phase. Magic works the same way. Blessing builds up; cursing breaks down. Cursing is the ability to negate, to banish. Mostly, the only safe and effective kind of cursing is the one we do on problems, circumstances, thoughtforms, habits, etc. This type of cursing can be done liberally, and it should be. However, cursing people is a very different matter. Cursing as a First Step to Forgiveness Peace should be our ultimate goal. However, it’s dishonest to pretend you’re not angry when you are. If someone harms you and you immediately jump to “forgiveness,” it’s like not allowing yourself to grieve when someone passes away. None of us can skip those steps. Allow yourself to feel what you feel, and instead of just being upset, use that emotion to do something about it—turning cursing into your form of alchemical magic on yourself. Remember that when you curse someone else, you’re automatically cursing yourself. You cannot inflict on another what you do not inflict on yourself. Even if the curse is justified, understand that you’re also cursing yourself. This means the universe will hold you accountable for your own wrongdoings just as firmly and quickly as it does for the person you curse—and rightly so. In short, keep your side of the street very clean, especially if you’re cursing someone. Forgiveness and Accountability Forgiveness becomes easier once someone has faced the consequences of their actions. An apology alone is often not enough; there needs to be a sense of justice or accountability. You must do what is necessary to achieve that sense of inner resolution. Cursing someone can be part of this process.  I’m not suggesting you curse everyone who annoys you, but it's important to recognize that you have this tool available if needed. You are not powerless. If someone has truly hurt or abused you, it’s disrespectful to yourself to forgive them immediately. Forgiveness is a process, and there are times you need to curse first before you can genuinely forgive. The Ethics of Cursing Cursing is powerful and sacred. Before you place a curse, ask yourself if cursing is the only way for you to find peace. Cursing is serious business. When you send out a curse, there is no taking it back. Often, there are other routes you can take to gain peace and justice. But there are times when cursing someone is the only way to protect yourself, to claim divine restitution, and have peace of mind. Just remember that cursing isn't child's play. You are dealing with powerful energy; you must proceed with care and respect. The Psalmic Curses: A Safer Approach In my experience, the safest way to curse is through Psalmic curses: they are not only effective but don’t pose the dangers most other forms of baneful magic pose. Psalmic curses have built-in protections and safeguards that prevent harm to you if you curse someone undeservedly. The psalms automatically adjust the curse to avoid negative consequences. When justified, the curses produce powerful and effective results. Psalmic curses are not only effective but also ultimately promote restitution and wholeness. They help address the need for accountability and retribution, while ultimately leading you to release. When you finally forgive the wrongdoer, you'll realize that you didn’t do it for them; you did it for yourself. By forgiving, you gain peace of mind after honestly facing the harm that was done and calling for Divine accountability and restitution. The Dangers of Reckless Cursing Cursing should never be used lightly or as entertainment. Those who curse out of annoyance or petty grievances often face serious consequences, as their negative energy comes back to them. Reckless cursing can ruin lives, and in some cases, even cause death. The psalmic curses, however, act as a safeguard. They ensure curses are only effective when justified, steering misguided energy toward positive outcomes. Think of Psalmic Curses as pressing charges under Divine Law rather than using vigilante justice. The Power of the Ten-Day Psalmic Curse The Ten Day Psalmic Curse is deeply rooted in spiritual tradition and have been used for centuries to seek justice and protect oneself from harm. They involve the use of ten cursing Psalms, such as 7, 35, 55, 58, 59, 69, 79, 109, 137, and 139, each believed to hold divine energy capable of enforcing justice. When these Psalms are combined with the Psalm Magic Formula—working one Psalm each day for ten days—they tend to bring powerful, noticeable results.  It’s important to remember that the goal of Psalmic curses is not to cause harm indiscriminately. Instead, they are meant to confront injustice and hold wrongdoers accountable. Often used as a last resort against bullies, abusers, or those who’ve caused significant pain, a Psalmic curse channels divine energy to restore justice and protect from further harm. Psalmic curses blend spiritual strength with moral responsibility, offering a way for us to seek resolution and safety when all other options have been exhausted. Conclusion Cursing is a sacred and serious practice that should not be used lightly. It can serve as a powerful tool on the path to forgiveness, peace, and accountability. When used properly, the psalmic curses can help you achieve fairness and healing without negative consequences. By honestly addressing harm and holding others accountable, you can find the wholeness and harmony you seek.  Blessed be.

The Evolution of the Archetype From Papesse to Priestess The imagery of the High Priestess card has not always been depicted as it is today. The earliest documented Tarocchi deck originated in the mid 15th century. Tarot decks that trace their lineage through Marseille family trees date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Europe was largely Catholic during these centuries. Both decks portrayed the second Trump as a woman pope sitting on her throne. The image used on the Marseille deck was pulled directly from the story of Pope Joan. Pope Joan was a woman who disguised herself as a man and assumed the papal title in medieval Europe. It would have been scandalous in the Middle Ages for a woman to have ascended to such a high position of religious authority. Because of this, you can interpret the Papess as a symbol of female power/strength in relation to societal standards. In 1781, Antoine Court de Gébelin changed the name of the card from “Female Pope” (La Papesse) to “The High Priestess.” Court de Gébelin wrote Le Monde Primitif, in which he was among the first to suggest that the Tarot didn’t originate in medieval Europe but rather in the Egyptian priesthoods of antiquity. As her ties to church power lessened, the mysterious aura surrounding the High Priestess grew. It wasn’t until the disciples of the Hermetic order of the Golden Dawn expanded around 1888 that we know of as the High Priestess card. S.L. MacGregor Mathers was the principal teacher of the Golden Dawn. Many of you are familiar with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck created in 1910 by A.E. Waite. The Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck revolutionized the western Tarot’s. portrayal of the High Priestess card from the character Joan, to a mysterious moon goddess, to the Egyptian goddess Hathor. Today, we know her as “Keeper of esoteric knowledge,” or as we simply know her, the High Priestess. The Symbolism of the Veiled Goddess The High Priestess card from the Rider–Waite Smith Tarot, shown seated between the pillars of Boaz and Jachin, symbolizing polarity. Unlike the Hierophant or Pope card which depicts the character preaching or blessing a group of people, or sitting outside with room to move about, the Papesse (High Priestess) is secluded from the outside world. She sits within herself, at the doorway between consciousness and subconsciousness veiled by layers of secrecy. In her lap she cradles a book or scroll of wisdom. This book is normally obscured by her robes at least partially. This symbolizes her knowledge of the occult and that she harbors holy wisdom. Knowledge that cannot be attained by those who have not been initiated. Her secrets cannot be purchased, forced, or taken from her. They can only be revealed through her when they are ready. She is the Goddess of Mystery and creator of the womb. She is beyond microscopic analysis and must be understood through our spirits. She understands that which is secret, is sacred. She is the guardian of sacred knowledge. Nature’s Hidden Rhythms The mystery of the High Priestess is not illusion; it is the Law of nature. It is easy to forget that many of life's most necessary functions take place behind the veil of darkness, unseen, in perfect secrecy. The Temple of the Body  In the Tarot de Besançon deck, the Papesse card is replaced by Juno. Think about all the processes that go on inside your body to keep you alive that you never see. Your spleen cleans your blood by filtering out old red blood cells and assisting in infection. Your heart continuously beats to push blood through your veins and arteries to distribute oxygen and nutrients to your body cells. Your lungs inflate and exhale to pull oxygen into your body and release carbon dioxide. These are just a few of the things your body does without you knowing everyday. There is a reason your organs and internal environment exist inside of you. Your body shields them from the outside world so they can do their function. If your body didn't shelter your insides, they wouldn't be able to do their function. The Mother and the Seed  You don’t gestate into this world under the glaring lights of a store room. You incubate in the darkness of your mother’s womb, nourished and protected, until you’re ready to be thrown into life outside of that cozy warm little water infused crib. You don’t plant a seed in your garden and just watch it sprout right there above the ground. It breaks through the dirt, underground. Out of sight. We trust that the seed we planted will grow because we don’t dig up every seed every morning to make sure it’s growing. If we did that, we’d kill all of our plants. This card teaches us that lots of things need to stay unseen. They need secrecy and the veil of darkness to protect them while they work. Interpreting the High Priestess Card in a Reading The High Priestess encourages you to be patient and to have trust. She reminds you that you don't need to know everything right now—it's actually beneficial that you don't. In our society, there is often pressure to have all the answers, but the High Priestess advises against this approach. Instead of trying to figure everything out, allow things to unfold naturally. Trust that the Goddess of Mystery understands, and that her understanding is all we need Learning To Trust Quietly  La Papessa in the 15th Century Visconti-Sforza Tarot is thought to be Sister Manfreda, a nun related to the Visconti family. She was elected Pope by the heretical Guglielmite sect in Lombardy. The message from this card is that just because you do not see a solution, does not mean something is not moving behind the scenes. Think of nature, she has her ways that we can not always understand. She balances and waters her children, sending them through cycles of death and life. Your cells die and are reborn everyday and you don't even know it or have to do anything to make it happen. Just because you do not see anything happening for you right now, does not mean something is not being arranged just right for you unseen. Learn to accept the unknown in your life from The High Priestess. All the miracles from the Goddess are coming, they are just NOT here yet. Everything comes at the right time, never early, never late. Stop Digging If you find yourself feeling anxious about a situation, frantically searching for answers, or trying to rush an outcome, the High Priestess counsels you to pause. Have faith that developments you don’t know about are occurring beneath the surface. Know that the perfect outcome is taking place behind the scenes. The clarity you seek will come when the moment is right. Conclusion The High Priestess card symbolizes the connection between our world and the unseen realm. She teaches us to respect the mysteries of life. She assures us that there is nothing to fear in the darkness, as it is the birthplace of all things. Embrace the unknown and trust the flow of the Universe. Allow her mystery to be sufficient. The High Priestess teaches you in the Silence. Deepen Your Practice Do you want to learn more?

Have you ever experienced times in your life where you were ‘flowing?’ Whether it be singing, gardening, working on your business, crocheting, or cooking dinner--all of a sudden, you look up at the clock and hours have passed. You aren't reliving memories or worrying about tomorrow. You are in this moment allowing yourself to spiritually flow with something eternal. Flowing is spiritual, reminds you who you are and why you are here, and allows you to feel connected to Spirit. Angel Magic teaches us that the soul corresponds with Archangel Gabriel and the Moon. The moon represents reflection, deep water, and intuition. One lesson the moon offers us, one we sometimes forget, is the contrast between soul and ego. It teaches us what we got wrong about being an ‘individual.” We were all taught that an individual is a person separated from everything. The definition of an individual is indivisible. It means it cannot be divided. When you step into who you truly are, you are allowing a unique expression of Infinite Intelligence to flow through you that only you can express. You simultaneously maintain a close connection to all people and things. This means True Individuality can only originate from Oneness. You are being you and also one with everything. When you consistently find yourself in this flow state, you will slowly begin to hear the whispers of your soul drown out the chaotic voice of fear (the ego). The Myth of Separation The world asks us to rise above everyone else. When we do that we are punished for being different. There is war within us about this because the ego creates the illusion of separateness. Your ego builds fences. Your ego wants its own land. Your ego tries to feel special by comparing itself to others. Don't mistake this ego awareness for the knowing of your soul that we are all one. If the ego looks at another, it sees competition. If the ego looks at itself, it sees itself as deficient. It feeds off the idea of “the other” by constantly comparing, criticizing, and judging. When you look at someone else and attack their separateness, or look in the mirror and judge your own idiosyncrasies. That’s the voice of the ego. The ego does this because it craves the feeling of being special, but can never have it. The ego is an illusion. It's a collection of thoughts with no actual substance. The ego knows it’s not real, so it creates problems. The ego lives for throwing an endless supply of unsolvable issues your way to keep you busy. Its biggest illusion is making you think your problems are unique. It tells you that your suffering is special. That no one else has obstacles quite like you. But if we’re being honest, many of the problems that keep us the busiest are pretty mundane. We all experience fear. We all experience doubt. We all experience loss. The ego keeps us believing we’re “special” in our pain, so we don’t see how SPECIAL we truly are. Special as souls. There is nothing lacking in Infinite Intelligence. There is no "other” anywhere. Everything is complete and whole. You are where you are meant to be. You are unique and fulfill a sacred function. If you were removed, the universe would be incomplete. But the universe cannot be incomplete. YOU are an extension of Infinite Intelligence, meaning you are eternal. You cannot stop existing even if your body perishes. You are essential, and nothing can change that. You are perfect right here and now. The ego perceives this as a threat and attempts to deny it. Instead of wasting time and energy allowing the ego to disturb us, we can learn to simply disregard it. When we do, the ego fades, for it has no true substance. Its only purpose is to distract you for its own survival. Once you learn to ignore it, your focus will shift entirely to being the successful soul you were always meant to be. Creativity as a Spiritual Function If we know we are children of Infinite Intelligence, then we must examine the Source. You can call it God, the Universe, Source, or the Divine, but regardless of what you call it, its nature is that of a Creator. It creates ALL that Is. So if the Creator created you, then you must be creative. A cow does not birth a chicken. Infinite Intelligence creates extensions of Itself as Infinite Intelligence. You are also a creator, just as God is. This isn’t egotistical thinking — this is Divine logic. If you deny your creativity, you are condemning your creator. You are saying that God made a mistake with you. Or that God is a jealous dictator who made you less than you deserve to be, demanding slaves, not children. The Divine has no ego, only perfect love. You are created out of unconditional love so that you can express that love abundantly. Creation begets creation. This is the chain of creators. When you create, you are being exactly who you are. You don’t have to paint the next Mona Lisa or write a poem. An organized spreadsheet is a creation. A healed relationship, a comfortable home—these can all be sacred creations. What matters is the energy from which it is born. When you're in that 'zone' when time stands still, you can truly feel yourself expanding into your authentic self. You are functioning as a soul, creating freely as a divine being, echoing the Psalmist's words, 'ye are gods.' At this point, you realize the truth of yourself as immortal, limitless, and vibrant. Distinguishing Soul Impulses from Ego Lusts How can you tell the difference between acting on impulse of your soul versus acting on a desire created by your ego? You want to know the difference because it matters, but how? Well, you can tell.. Your ego only lusts after things it wants. And please know the things your ego lusts after are not always “bad things.” Food. Sex. Money. Comfort. All these things are our human experiences. There is nothing wrong with eating cheesecake or making love. Many religions make us believe sensual pleasures are a “sin.” They’re not. But your ego lusts after these things to numb you. When you are obsessed with getting your next dopamine hit from Instagram, your next Amazon package coming to your doorstep, or your next hook up to fill that hole you think you have — THAT is ego speaking. It distracts you from creation by occupying your time with trivial endeavors and zapping you of energy. Acting on your soul impulses feels empowering. It nourishes you. You know the difference you feel when you’ve spent three hours scrolling mindlessly versus creating for three hours. When you wipe the sweat off of your brow from a day in the garden or sitting at your desk creating, you feel tired yet fulfilled rather than empty and anxious. The ego fears your soul's calling and it wants you to fear it as well. It will show you all the “examples” of other people who have followed thier dreams and been hurt. “ Comparison and fear are your ego keeping you from doing what your soul is yearning to do. It will try to fill your mind with thoughts of failure and despair in order to shift your focus from this truth: Your soul impulse can never be defeated. The only way for your ego to try and keep you from re-aligning with your soul is to distract you and keep you busy on meaningless things. The Safety of Your Spiritual Flow We have multiple ways we try to protect ourselves: amulets, medicines, alarm systems, and insurance plans. These things are all well and good, but the best protection you have is your soul. When you are operating from your soul’s purpose, you enter a spiritual flow wherein you have Divine protection. You are doing what you were created to do. The Universe will conspire to help you. This isn’t new age nonsense; this is practical spirituality. When you take action on your creativity, notice how the world around you changes: Doors open, resources appear. This is the power of stepping into your spiritual flow , where life begins to align with ease and abundance. People support you. Your needs are met—not necessarily as your ego would dictate, but you are fully taken care of. Your ego will try to convince you that if you want to stay alive, you'd better be struggling and fitting in. “Who do you think you are to have your needs met?” “Who do you think you are to succeed?” The ego will attack any sense of ease that you allow yourself to entertain. The soul knows that life is meant to flow with ease and abundance. If you want to tap into this feeling of safety, you must practice listening every day. Take time to connect with the silent part of your mind that doesn’t fear and allows you to enter a state of spiritual flow Meditate. Pray. Go for a walk. Just spend some time connecting to the silent part of your mind that doesn’t fear. The Arrogance of Smallness I think the most lethal lie that we believe is that it’s humble to play small. “Oh, I’m nobody. I’m just one person. I don’t matter.” That is not humility. That is arrogance. It’s arrogant to look at something that God created (you!) and say, “This isn’t good enough.” You’re being arrogant when you ignore the light that shines within you. Humility is accepting that you are great. You aren't taking personal responsibility for your greatness; you are humbled by the force out of which your greatness is formed. Humility is accepting that you are the light of the world.  When you embrace your greatness, you align with your spiritual flow, allowing your unique light to shine and contribute to the world. Humility is knowing that you have something essential to offer that no one else can. You are just as important as Beethoven. You have the same worth as Mother Teresa. You hold the same value as any historical figure you admire. They may have connected more often with the light of their souls than you have up to this point. However, their inner light was no more sacred than yours. When you dim your light, you steal from the world. You take away from other human beings the gift of your individual frequency. You attempt to steal from God. But God is not mocked. You can't dim your light no matter how hard you may try. The Wave of Determination Imagine what would happen if nobody listened to their ego’s voice of separation and fear anymore. Imagine what would happen if everybody started listening to their creative voice and moved into their spiritual flow . It would create a wave of determination throughout humanity's collective unconscious. We would awaken. We would look around at our war, poverty, and cruelty and ask, “What the heck are we doing?” That is what is meant by the saying “Second Coming.” It isn’t someone descending from the sky. It is the higher mind (awareness of our interconnectedness and Godness) rising in each man, woman, and child. It is you realizing you ARE the light. By healing yourself (allowing yourself to be a creator), you are healing the world. Each occurs simultaneously. We each need your piece of the puzzle to complete the whole picture. Just because your world is dark doesn’t mean all hope is lost. When you bring your light to the darkness in your life, healing manifests simply by you being there. Your world needs more light, and that is why the universe sent YOU. A Call to Your Unique Greatness Infinite Intelligence ignores your reasons for rejecting your soul. It doesn’t understand concepts like being too old, too poor, too sick, or too busy. Its only focus is waiting for you to cease resisting yourself and choose to accept who you truly are. You can resist truth. You can distract yourself from it. You can allow fear to have the final say. But you cannot escape who you are—you are the only you there is. So why not step into your greatness and let your soul shine? Now is the moment to listen to your inner voice and let your spiritual flow guide you into unexplored realms. . Quiet the world's noise and pay attention. What small, steady voice beneath is calling you? What do you want to create? What do you deeply long for? Let yourself respond to that call. Follow it into unexplored realms. Get immersed in what draws you most. You are essential. You are safe. You are a god, nothing more and nothing less. Show up and be YOU. Unapologetically you. The world doesn’t need a substitute—it needs you.

Prosperity is something we all want in our lives. When we think of prosperity, we typically think of our finances first. We aren’t talking about being greedy and wanting to hoard all the riches for yourself. When you think of financial prosperity, what comes to mind? Maybe you think of the freedom money can provide. Or maybe you think of financial security as not having to worry about money. We all want to live a life where we can do what we love and enjoy our lives without the stress of being broke all the time. If you’re like most people, you’ve struggled with money at some point or another. You may even feel like you’re constantly struggling and running behind. It’s time to flip the script on your finances and start building a lifestyle of true abundance. Below are 7 magical steps to financial abundance that you can take today to shift your finances from deprivation to abundance. Please note these aren’t get-rich-quick schemes that promise you the world. It's more like an exercise regimen that provides results over time. Consistently implement these 7 steps to financial abundance, and watch your life shift before your eyes. Step 1: Focus on the Goal, Not Just the Money The first thing most people think to do when casting money spells is to visualize a number. There is nothing wrong with wanting more money, of course, but it is far more effective to focus your energy on why  you want the money. Money is just energy. It’s a tool. It is how you get what you want, but it isn’t what you actually want. Nobody looks at a wad of cash and thinks that's the end of it; they want the things the cash provides: adventures, security, or purchasing power. Do you want a new car? Financial freedom? To own your home outright? Focus on those things. When doing a money spell, focus on the actual object or experience. Rather than doing a "$10,000 spell," try a spell to "manifest the car of my dreams with ease and joy." There are several benefits to this approach: It forces you to be specific:  You learn exactly what you want. You can’t manifest a new car if you don’t even know what kind of car you are looking for! It allows for flexibility:  The universe works in mysterious ways. Someone may gift you the car, you may win it, or you may find it on Craigslist for 10% of the expected price. By focusing on the car rather than the cash, you don't trap yourself into one narrow path. It shifts your energy:  Focusing on money itself can trigger anxiety or the fear of not having enough. When you focus on the actual thing you want, you begin to feel the emotions you would feel if you already had it. You become a magnet for unexpected opportunities. If a large goal, like a new house, feels unattainable right now, break it down. What can you focus on today? Perhaps you can perform a manifestation ritual to attract the perfect real estate agent to guide you through the steps you need to take. You get closer to your goal by focusing on what you can control and creating a track record of success. This practice opens the gates for even more abundance to flow to you. Step 2: Practice the Prosperity Waltz: Tithing, Taxes, and Savings When money begins flowing into your life, how you manage it becomes of utmost importance. So many of us live by the mentality of "earning and burning"—you receive money and immediately spend it all on bills and expenses. This cycle often leaves you with nothing, promoting a scarcity consciousness as you live paycheck to paycheck. To break this cycle, adopt a three-step process—a "prosperity waltz"—with every dollar that comes your way, before you spend it on anything else: Tithes:  Donate or give away a portion of your pay. Tithing does not have to be a religious act. In terms of magic, tithing represents faith and abundance. When you give away even a small percentage (10% is the traditional tithe, but start with what is comfortable to you) to a person, cause, or organization that uplifts you, you are telling the Universe, “I have more than enough. Thank you. More abundance is coming.” Tithing creates a vacuum that nature abhors, which then draws in more. Taxes:  Allocate money for taxes. That's right—paying your taxes is a type of prosperity magic . You are getting ahead of tax season by paying what you owe now. Instead of worrying about what you’ll owe later, you remove that stress and guilt from the equation by being proactive. You are also proving to yourself that you are a good steward of your money. If you have taxes automatically deducted from your paycheck, congratulations! You're already doing amazing. Savings:  After you pay God and the government, it’s time to pay yourself. Put money away. Even if you can only afford $5 a week, start there. Anything you can save and build upon will serve you in the future. Having that money piling up gives your deep mind the understanding that you are already prosperous, and it will continue to expand that prosperity for you automatically. Now that you’ve invested in your future (tithing), paid your dues (taxes), and fortified your resources (savings), you can spend the rest guilt-free! Celebrate! You’ve seeded future increased wealth with powerful, prosperous habits. Step 3: Reframe Negative Money Statements Your words have magical power. Everything you speak about money is heard by your subconscious mind. Therefore what you say about money becomes your financial reality. One of the habits that most keep people mired in lack is allowing themselves to utter negative statements about money without thinking. “I can’t afford that.” “Things are too expensive!” “There’s never enough money at the end of the month.” When you say these things you are casting a “lack spell.” Your subconscious mind hears your command and goes about making it so. Garbage in garbage out. STOP FINISHING SENTENCES ABOUT MONEY NEGATIVELY! The third step to financial abundance is to cease allowing yourself to finish sentences about money negatively. When you hear yourself saying something recognize it, then rephrase it. Instead of saying “I can’t afford that.” Try reframing it into something empowering that is true: “I choose not to spend my money on that right now.” (Power of choice) “I am focusing my money on other things right now.” (Personal power) If you REALLY want something allow yourself to be more specific: “The path is opening for me to have THAT.” “I allow and receive MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY to buy this.” Don’t complain when you get a bill. Take the bill, hold it in your hand and say “I thank you that this bill is paid in divine order under grace.” You are changing your vocabulary from sentences that attract problems to sentences that attract solutions. Guard your words. They will manifest your financial future. Step 4: Surrender Financial Worries to a Higher Power Worry occupies your mind with negative imagery: fear of foreclosure, fear of repossession, or fear of not having enough money to pay your bills. Allowing yourself to worry about these things plants seeds of poverty in the garden of your mind. Number four on our list is to cleanse your mind of these thoughts as they occur. Take our financial worries and release them to the source of all that is. Release them to Infinite Intelligence—or call it God, Goddess, Spirit, or the Universe. Whatever feels comfortable to you. You are taking your worry and the need to figure out how to fix the problem and placing it on the One who can. You are not your source of supply; Infinite Intelligence is. You are a vessel. Knowing this takes the responsibility off your back.   If you find yourself worrying about paying a bill, stop and say: “Infinite Intelligence knows what to do. This need is now manifesting under divine law.” “I release this problem to Spirit to take care of. All my needs are taken care of now in every moment of time and point of space.” When you say this, you aren’t just sitting around hoping that the Universe will come through for you. You are actively giving the Universe your permission to bring you what you need by clearing your mind and energy field of worry. You become open to receiving solutions, opportunities, and money that you were previously blind to. Don't let worry occupy one moment of your time. Step 5: Contemplate the Nature of Abundance Your thoughts and beliefs lay the foundation for your money house. If somewhere deep down you have a belief that there is not enough money to go around or you don’t deserve to have money you will sabotage your efforts without realizing it. Line Up Your Thoughts With Truth. Take some time each day to think Truthful thoughts. You don’t have to meditate all day. Spend five minutes, one or two times a day thinking about this: Everything you could ever want and need is easily supplied by Infinite Intelligence. Whatever caused the universe, the stars, life, and human beings to exist can also cause your financial supply to manifest. If the universe can create life, creating money is effortless. Would the universe struggle to grow grass in a field or form a baby in a womb? Of course not! It is just as easy for Spirit to create abundance in your life. The only obstacle is your own mind. The universe wants you to thrive.   You  were designed to experience abundance. Scarcity is merely a belief system trying to convince you otherwise. Your Creator wants you to smile, laugh, and enjoy life. You don’t have to envision where the money comes from. Just clear the mental debris out of the way and allow it to manifest through you. Why this works: Contemplating these statements clears mental obstacles and emotional debris (fear, doubt, unworthiness) that block the flow of money to you. When you focus on the ease with which the Universe provides for you, you reprogram your mind to accept abundance. Step 6: Decide to Receive Your Birthright Knowledge will only take you so far. You can read all these principles and understand them cognitively, but until you DECIDE, unequivocally, that these things will change, they won’t. Step six is about consciously deciding to be wealthy. You decide that you have the right to have ALL of the riches you desire. It’s not ego-centric to want this. You are not being selfish. You are simply claiming what is yours by birthright . Wanting to live an abundant life is good and holy. Wanting to live in worry and sickness is not. You aren’t taking from someone else; there is an infinite amount of wealth in the universe. There is MORE than enough for everyone to have everything they desire. You must DECIDE this again and again. Be vigilant about this. Look at yourself in the mirror each morning and say things like: “I decide to be financially abundant.”  “I claim my birthright of abundance NOW.”  “I am willing to know that it is righteous and good for me to be wealthy.” Your decision sends a powerful message to your deep mind and the universe. You are saying YES to receiving that which you have already claimed as your birthright. When you DECIDE, you go from being a spectator in your financial life to a creator. Step 7: Affirm Your Connection to the Source The final step is to reinforce this new reality with a daily statement or affirmation that anchors all the other steps. This statement should solidify your connection to the infinite source of your supply and declare your allowance of its flow. You can use the following affirmation or alter it to fit your own language and belief system: "I am one with Infinite Intelligence, the source of my existence. This power that is the source of my life is also the source of all of my financial supply. I allow Infinite Intelligence to manifest wealth for me easily, abundantly, and joyously." Repeat this statement every day, feeling the truth of the words. It encapsulates the core principles: You are one with the Source of all wealth: you are not alone. Your life and your supply are ONE: There is no separation. You allow prosperity to flow to you: You are not trying to make it happen; you are allowing it to happen. It flows easily, abundantly, and freely: You are asking how you want to receive your good. Taking the Steps to Financial Abundance The seven steps to financial abundance are a comprehensive system. Put together, they will help you change your relationship with money, starting with setting intentions, paying attention to your money, organizing your resources, reclaiming your power, clearing your mind of negative thoughts about money, and claiming your divine right to it. When you take all of these steps, they will open the floodgates of wealth pouring into your life. It’s all about putting in the work. If you only use these principles once in a while, you will get random results. However, if you make with these steps to financial abundance a part of your life, you will experience ever-increasing flow of good in your financial life. Everyone’s financial universe will shift differently. Some will attract millions of dollars, and others just want enough to smile. The main thing is that you become the cause instead of the effect of money. You deserve a life of financial freedom, and these steps can help guide you there.

Many associate the Tetragrammaton with being the true name of God. It is spelled Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh (יהוה). A Witch's Primer teaches practitioners how to build their power body over four weeks. The elements that create your power body are fire, water, air, and earth. Yod is the letter that represents your fire body. Heh is the letter that represents your water body. Next up is Vav your air body. Last, we have Heh, which represents your earth body. Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh Fire, Water, Air, Earth. The problem with the Tetragrammaton is that people have been brainwashed into believing it’s just a male god named Yahweh/Jehovah for hundreds of years. Yes, you can read it that way, but from a magical standpoint, it's an actual formula. The Tetragrammaton as a Creative Force I don’t view the Tetragrammaton as a deity. It is actually representative of the universe's creative power. The four letters are arranged in this order because that's how things are created (magically speaking). Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh represents fire, water, air, and earth, which correspond to the way we project our will via magic. The Meaning of the Letters The first letter, Yod, symbolizes a hand. The letter Heh represents a window, while Vav signifies a peg or a nail. Finally, the final Heh represents another window. So we have the sequence: hand, window, peg, window.  This sequence provides a formula for magic—how to integrate the four bodies you've developed in A Witch's Primer into one powerful method for manifesting anything you desire in your life. Yod – Fire Body (The Hand, Will) The Yod represents fire. Yod also means a hand. A hand that represents your will, your will to achieve something. Let’s say you want a new computer. Yod, the first letter, represents your will to want that item. When you want something you need to be specific about what you want. This is the spark of creation, the wanting to create or have something of value. This first letter is that spark; that fire. It’s your will to create what you want to happen. Remember when in A Witch’s Primer we build up that body of fire. We are refining our will to become razor sharp to bring into reality what we want. When you want that computer, what you want is a holy desire. Understand this, when you want that computer you aren’t simply exerting your will. You are connecting to the greater will of the universe that you have a computer. Accept it as holy. Accept your desire as sacred. Heh – Water Body (The Window, Emotion) The first "Heh," the second letter, represents a window. This window symbolizes your water body. Think of water as a reflection; in this context, the window acts more like a mirror. It reflects your emotional experience that reflects your desire.  Initially, the fire represents pure will; next, that will is mirrored in this window, in this pool, reflecting your emotions. When you aim to manifest something through magic, your will must be paired with an emotionalized version of that will. Will alone lacks potency unless it is accompanied by its feminine counterpart, which is emotion, or the water body. To build your emotional body, your water body, you need to engage deeply with your emotions. You must become familiar with how to feel deeply. In magic, it is essential to learn how to conjure emotions at will. Your will, coupled with the emotionalization of your desire, enables you to realize it. Focus on what you desire and ask yourself what that desire means to your emotional self. Where do you feel that sensation in your body? What is your desire? What emotion surfaces when you think of it? Now breathe into that emotion and empower it. The first "Heh" is you gaining the ability to link that emotion with your will. When you focus on what you truly desire, take a moment to feel emotionally connected to what you desire and make those emotions physical for you. As you build your will (fire within you) and your emotions (water within you) they will begin to affect each other. This is simply how the universe works. You have both masculine and feminine energies inside you. Willpower and emotion mix together in your mind. By allowing this to happen you create... reaction and response. What happens when you combine water and fire? They form steam, vapor, or air. The letter "Vav," which is the third letter. Vav – Air Body (The Peg, Vision) Letter Vav means a peg or nail. Think of a peg or nail as something that stabilizes something else, like a nail in wood. When most people think of air body they think of vapor. Vapor is shapeless and dispersed. If you want to work effective magic you need to condense that vapor. Look at a steam engine or pressure cooker. You need to “peg” that vapor. You need to condense it. This is a huge concept to understand with the third step of the formula. You are condensing your desire into a visual image. Visualization is hard for many because when they read about creative visualization they feel like they can’t do magic if they can’t see clear images in their mind. Everybody visualizes, you might just not know how you do it. Think about when someone tells you a story or when you read a story. Visualization. You may not see pictures clearly but you can still create a mental image whatever that looks like for you of what you want. That is precisely what we are doing with the third step of the formula. We are condensing our will, and our emotion attached to that will into a blueprint, into an image. The more we put energy into that image building it the more we are adding fire, water, air as we condense it. All of a sudden there is a distillation and what rises up is the end result. The physical representation of your desire. Final Heh – Earth Body (The Window, Manifestation) The final Heh symbolizes the physical realization of that which you desire. If you were to make your own essential oil, you'd have to start with some plant material. Then you add water, boil the mixture, condense the steam, and then separate the steam from the essential oil. What remains is the essential oil itself. We do the same thing with magic, except we're extracting our desires into manifestation. By this point, you know it’s not a desire anymore or even a wish. It’s beyond thoughts or feelings about what you want to happen. Your desire has become a manifestation – that’s what the final Heh represents. It opens a new window for your eyes to see. You have to gaze through that window, which holds the realization of your desires coming true. Align yourself with your desire and recognize that it has already manifested. You don’t need to think, hope, or believe; you simply know with 100% certainty that what you want is on its way. You can accelerate the manifestation process by practicing gratitude as if your desire is already present in your life. This approach informs your deep mind that there is no resistance because it has already happened. Once your mind believes this, nothing will stop you from manifesting your desires. Manifesting Desires through the Tetragrammaton The tetragrammaton serves as a practical magical framework, it's the integration of your four magical bodies to create something. Regardless of your chosen operation while casting a spell—whether that be mental work, using talismans, candles, or other tools—what matters is that the four steps must be followed, even if we don't explicitly refer to it as the Tetragrammaton formula .  You will need to work with the sequence of fire, water, air, and earth to manifest. When you know the tetragrammaton, you will realize you are manifesting just like the universe is. First, you think, “Let there be a computer,” then you emote about that thought. That is when you split the earth from the firmament and watch the mists rise out of your emotion. Your fire body meets your water body. Your willpower meets your emotions, and it causes a vapor to rise. But what you don’t want to do is watch the vapor just rise. You want to take that vapor and "nail it down.” To get what you want, you must condense your thoughts. See what you want vividly until you see it start to manifest through the window of your mind. But it goes beyond just seeing it because you KNOW what you want is showing up. You give gratitude that what you desire is yours. You say, “I’m so thankful that my computer is mine.” You feel that feeling of KNOWING it's there, then you LET IT GO. The Power of Letting Go After you have cast your spell, allow yourself to rest. Once you know something is coming, you don’t have to worry or try to force it; you just relax and know it’s already happened. You completely put it out of your mind. When you reach this point, things start showing up out of nowhere in your life. Dr. Murphy used to say it pops up like toast out of the toaster. When you let go, it shows up when you least expect it. If you continue to stare around the corner waiting for it or peek underneath the hood, that desire will keep driving away from you. You have to allow yourself to forget about your desire, so when it happens out of nowhere, it’ll surprise you. Faith completes the manifestation process. Letting go of trying to control how, when, and where your manifestation shows up allows the magic to work. You learn to let go and let magic happen. You trust that it is showing up and take a hands off approach. When you don't interfere you are in a place of power to receive the manifestation you desire. Conclusion Learning to work with the power of the Tetragrammaton allows you to understand the vibratory rate that the Universe uses when it creates. When you align your Fire, Water, Air, and Earth bodies, you literally move from the place of "wishing" things to change to actually changing them. Remember your formula: Will + Emotion + Vision = Manifestation! Once you have focused your magical intentions on something, it's important to LET IT GO. Allow the Universe to bring it to you. Be as confident in the outcome as you are that the sun will rise each day. You are powerful—now go create!

Some of the most effective witchcraft spells are very simple. Certain spells draw strength from repeated actions and daily routines, creating an ongoing thought-form. The dime spell combines simplicity, daily effort, and focused intention to bring exponential growth and help you build wealth in your life. If you have finished A Witch's Primer, you might remember this spell from one of the supplementary lessons. It closely resembles the money box spell I also teach, but elevates it by creating a living "battery of prosperity" when practiced over time. We will go into more detail about how and why this works below. What Is the Dime Spell? The dime spell mainly works because you’re energetically creating prosperity each day. Magic isn’t always about lightning-fast results overnight. It works because it plants a seed and lets you grow with it. You grow with the flow of the Universe instead of trying to force things. Every day, you will add slightly more money to a jar or box than you did the previous day. You are increasing not only how much money you put into the jar each day but also with the practice itself. However, it isn't really about how much money you are putting into the jar. What matters is the form of abundance that you are building with the money that you are putting into the jar. What You’ll Need Materials Needed for the Dime Spell: A Container:  Choose anything that feels right for you. This could be a cookie tin, a jar, or a box. Just ensure it's large enough to hold your growing deposits and your small notepad. Small Notepad and Pen/Pencil:  Use this to record and keep track of the amount of your daily deposits. Small Change:  While dimes are traditional for this spell, you can use whatever denomination available to you, such as pennies, nickels, etc. Instructions for the dime spell Day 1: Write the date in your notepad. Write down that you're putting in 10 cents. Place a dime in your container. Close it up and put it away. Day 2: Write today's date on your notepad. You are putting in 20 cents (10 cents from yesterday + 10 cents today). Write total amount in jar. Put money in jar. Secure and store. Day 3: Write today's date on your notepad. You are putting in 30 cents (matching the 20 cents from the previous day plus 10 cents for today). Write the total amount in your container. Close it up and put it away. Continue this daily routine, matching the previous day’s deposit amount and adding an additional 10 cents to your container. Write the date and the amount you are putting in your container, plus the current total each day in your notepad. Deposit once you hit an amount that you feel is too costly. Restart and begin with one dime plus whatever you have saved in your jar so far. You are building momentum! Even if you start with one dime. So once you hit an amount you don't feel you could keep up with, start over at one dime. Restart again if you have to. It's fine to do that a few times! As you maintain this practice, you will start to see your financial situation improve. Not due to the amount in the container (that's a mere symbol), but your entire financial situation improves based on the thought form you are building. Why the Dime Spell Works It’s simple math and magical momentum combined! • Co-creating energetically – When you put money into your container every day, you are energetically creating more money. By continuing to put more money into your jar each day, you are building yourself a “prosperity battery.” • Law of Increase – Each day, you grow your deposits according to the formula. You are applying the natural laws of growth by taking small actions that boost your financial energy. • Meditation and Focus – Writing down what you put into your container and multiplying it daily helps you focus on growth and the expansion of your abundance. • Flexible – It works for any budget! Whenever things get too costly, you reduce your deposits back down to one dime. If working with increments of ten cents is stretching it for you, feel free to use nickels or pennies. Tips for Success Start on a New Moon: Because a new moon favors new beginnings and growth, consider starting this spell on a new moon. Decorate Your Container: Feel free to decorate the inside and/or outside of your container with images and colors that represent prosperity to you (green/gold, runes, sigils, etc.) if you're feeling inspired. Stay Consistent: Remember this spell only works if you're diligent. Even if you have to start back over with one dime, don't give up! Avoid Hoarding : Every so often, empty out your container and continue to put money into circulation. Spend it, donate it to charity, or buy something nice for yourself. Allow the abundance to keep flowing. Have Faith: Believe that this ritual will work. The money in the container is simply a tool to help you create a continuous increase of energy surrounding attraction and abundance. Know that by practicing this regularly, your financial situation will improve. Common Questions About the Dime Spell What if I don't have dimes? No problem! Pennies or nickels work too. As long as you stick with the same base amount, meaning 10 cents. What if I miss a day? If you miss a day, just continue from where you left off. The magic of the spell won't be affected if you continue the practice. If you miss more than a day, start over. May I add additional money?  Only add what the formula dictates: the previous day's amount plus $.10. Random additions can interfere with the spell.  What do I do with all the money I accumulate? Spend it, save it, or give it away, whatever feels good. But do make sure you spend some of it from time to time to sustain the continued flow of prosperity The Magic of Consistency The dime spell isn't necessarily the biggest, fanciest, or "witchiest" spell. But there's something highly effective about this daily routine. When you do this every day, you're not simply accumulating money; you're building a potent thought form of ever-increasing financial prosperity. You are actively working with the cycles of nature to bring forth prosperity. The longer you work with this spell, the more you'll see that the money in the container isn't the only place your money is growing. Your overall financial situation will continue to improve over time. Grab your supplies and schedule some time to get your prosperity battery started. The Dime Spell is a beautiful way to ensure you grow your wealth. Blessed be!

Today I’m going to teach you a spiritual problem-solving process that will change your life. I’ve given variations on this exercise in many of my courses, but I thought it would be nice to introduce it as its own lesson. Millions of people have had great success with this, and I know it will work for you too, as long as you try it sincerely. You can do this anytime, no matter what’s going on around you. All you’ll need is a pen/pencil and some paper. You could do this on an electronic device, but I promise you'll get the best results by writing everything down. Okay, here we go. The Spiritual Problem-Solving Process Step 1: Name the Problem Take a piece of paper and write the title of what you want solved at the top. Maybe it's a bill that's overdue, a physical symptom you have, an argument you are having with a friend/significant other, or your car. Step 2: Explore the Root Cause Beneath the problem’s name, write the sentence: “The reason I have this problem is…” Without overthinking or editing, finish the sentence by writing your first thought, even if it seems silly or nonsensical. Continue this process until the page is filled with thoughts that complete the sentence, "The reason I have this problem is..." Whatever it is, just write it down. There are no "wrong" thoughts. Don't ignore any thought, no matter how silly, insignificant, or incorrect it may seem. If it comes up, write it down. For example: I'm an idiot Because so-and-so did it to me Because I wasn't raised right I don't have enough education Once you hit the bottom of the page, or you keep repeating the same thoughts, you're finished. Step 3: Identify the “White Elephants” On another piece of paper, write: “My white elephants surrounding this situation are…” White elephants are the “gifts” or secret rewards that your problem has been providing you. For instance: “I don’t have to go shopping because I can’t afford anything.” “I get to slack off because I’m sick.” “I get to win; to be right.” “I get to have people feel sorry for me.” Write anything and everything. Even if they seem fabricated or ridiculous. You’re trying to extract things from your subconscious. Keep writing until you exhaust your list or run out of space. Step 4: Examine Fears of Letting Go On a third piece of paper, write, “My fear of giving up this situation is…” Dig deep here, even if you don’t believe you have any fear about letting go. Continue repeating the sentence and write whatever comes to mind without censoring. Here are some examples. “I’m afraid I won’t know what to do with myself if I’m successful.” “I fear the unknown.” “I’m afraid it might get worse.” This step helps reveal some of the hidden fears that are preventing you from letting go of the problem. Step 5: Confront Negative Self-Beliefs On a fourth piece of paper write: “My worst thought about myself is…” or “The thing I dislike most about myself is…” Don’t censor yourself. Examples of what may come up: “I’m never good enough.” “I’m not intelligent enough.” “I hurt others.” “I’m undesired.” This isn’t about validating these thoughts- it’s about bringing them up so you can release them. Step 6: Prioritize and Flip the Thoughts Once you've written down your thoughts, follow these steps: Determine your top triggers. Look over your notes and say each thought out loud. Highlight the thoughts that elicited an emotional and/or physical reaction. Rate each one on a scale of 1-10 how triggering it was and look for patterns/themes. Narrow them down.  Select three to seven of the most powerful thoughts. Flip them.  For every negative thought, write a "flip," or reframe. Here are a few examples: Negative:  “I hate myself.” Flip:  “I love and accept myself.” Negative:  “You are nothing.” Flip:  “I am something. I am a divine expression of infinite love and creativity.” Negative:  "Nobody likes me." Flip:  "I am likable and lovable." Negative:  "I hurt people." Flip:  "I am a force for good in this world." Step 7: Work with the New Thoughts Take your reframed thoughts and actively work with them, systematically at least once per day.. Here are a few ways to integrate them into your life; you can come up with many more. Use just one or two methods: Write each affirmation in your best handwriting or printing 10 times a day. Chant them silently as you fall asleep. Record them and listen to them as affirmations. Each morning, visualize scenes that prove these affirmations to be true. Carve them into candles or create talismans to symbolize them. Gaze at the candle and/or talisman as you think of them. Repeat one or more of them silently in your mind for 3 to 5 minutes per day as a silent mantra. Ideally you want to find one "bottom line" thought that covers all situations. An example: One of my friends has the bottom line thought, "I am here to bless the world." Whenever anything else crosses his mind that isn't loving and happy, the thought "I am here to bless the world" eliminates it. Finding what your "bottom line" thought is that has this much power for you can take a while, so just use whatever flips until you find it. Then you'll have a powerful tool in your mind that can clear any situation! For now, just use the flips and enjoy the positive changes that come your way! Step 8: Observe the Changes You will start to notice tiny shifts in your circumstance, sometimes even right away as you implement working with these new concepts. Tiny shifts help to build your belief and motivate you to keep at it. Continue to work with these new thoughts daily, methodically, until you feel a sense of peace and knowing about the situation you are focusing on. When you feel that sense of peace, then you know you can stop the process and completely forget about the problem. Continue Using the Spiritual Problem-Solving Process Working on healing your mind so you can heal your life is one of the most effective things you will ever do. This works for ANYTHING you want to heal in your life. Big things, small things, mental things, physical things, financial things, relationship things. You name it, healing your mind will help you improve your situation. Sometimes life can become overwhelming with thoughts and emotions that influence our current reality. Toxic thinking can become a cycle that leaves us feeling trapped. But there are ways to heal from within so that everything around us can also heal and change. When there seems to be no other answer or solution that we can find on the outside, working on healing your mind is usually the missing puzzle piece we’ve been searching for. It pushes us to raise our vibration by allowing us to heal, build strength and awareness, and transform what life throws our way, as well as what we attract and are attracted to. Healing your mind and digging deep within yourself can work wonders for any problem. Give it a shot! See what happens when you work on healing your mind, you might just like what you discover.

In the Tarot, the Empress is associated with sovereignty, fertility, and being. She relates to the phrase "when I stop trying to be what I am not, I become what I might be." You have to be yourself to be a leader. When you allow yourself just to be, what you need will find you. Her power is internal. She radiates a calmness within that allows true abundance to find you. This card brings tranquility of mind and financial fortune. She calls in all that the universe has to offer and manifests it into physical form. The Empress knows her worth and knows the universe will provide her with everything she needs. She doesn't fight or struggle to compete with anyone. She allows life to happen and knows that abundance will be attracted to her. She merely exists, and by her energy, attracting the right vibrations, the right people, circumstances, and blessings find her. The Empress can teach you about the power of stillness, the beauty of silence, and the significance of self-knowing. The Magnetism of Stillness We have been taught that constant work equals power. Constant hustle. But the Empress asks you to slow down. She is powerful because she allows herself to be still. She has nothing to prove. There is no need to pretend. Stagnation is scary, but when you allow yourself to be still, you realize your own strength. You aren't alone, even when you feel weak; you are connected to the universe. The Empress knows her value and feels abundant. She doesn’t feel like she’s missing anything. She knows there are things she can and can’t control and lets go of the fight. Goddesses like Isis and Demeter demonstrated great strength by recognizing that everything grows at its own time. A really great example of someone who we can relate to from this energy is Gandhi. He was the leader of the nonviolent movement while commanding millions of peaceful protesters. But he found his strength when he was still. Meditation and fasting are some powerful tools he practiced. They allowed him to tap into himself and spread peace to others. There were times when he would sit in complete silence for days. This allowed him to build his strength and gear up for what he knew was coming next. He led a whole country towards peace. That, my friends, is Empress energy. When you tap into Empress, you will feel like you're in the middle of a hurricane but unaffected by it. You’re calm. You are the eye of that hurricane. Watch as things start to change around you. Watch as people try to come into your peace. Your tables will turn (literally) because you have a glowing powerhouse inside you, shifting EVERYTHING that's been stuck. The Empress Card and True Prosperity The Empress (III), from the Rider–Waite-Smith tarot deck You can expect themes of abundance with The Empress. She rules abundance. Anything related to profusion is linked to her energy. On a spiritual level, she rules fertility. She is overflowing with life; she has acres of land, and all the flowers bloom in her path. Her abundance flows freely because of her grace and inner peace. Planet-wise, she is linked to Venus. Venus is the planet of beauty and fertility. So when you see her, expect wealth, but also an expansion in your creative energies. Gardens require water to grow. With the Empress’s influence, your well of emotions and creativity will overflow. Receive the growth in creativity that The Empress has to offer. There is no lack with her. Her abundance stems from her ability to let go of fear and know that there will always be more. Think of the princess from your favorite fairytale. Elegant. Always smiling. Never with a scowl on her face. Deer don’t run from The Empress when she passes through the forest. They approach her because her grace and centered energy resonate with them. This is Spiritual anatomy 101: When you allow yourself to be peaceful and calm, abundance will attract itself to your vibration. She doesn’t stress about money or inflation. She knows that there’s enough money for everyone, and she kindly allows others to come along for the ride with her. She is happy, and her happiness radiates from her. She teaches those around her that true wealth provides for all. It does not create categories of who has more and who has less. Let her teach you how to receive and provide abundance to others with no guilt or hierarchical distinctions. Her energy reminds us all that this money is an expanded energy that wants to supply those who ask. The Empress allows us to bask in the small joys of life. Smell of a rose petal. Taste of a peach. Sound of rain hitting your window. Allow her energy to allow you to be present in these moments. Take 10 seconds to close your eyes and identify one smell around you. Receiving the small things will allow the universe to provide you with more. Embodying Feminine Sovereignty The Empress is feminine divine energy. Yes, both men and women can align with feminine energy. Feminine energy is listening to your intuition, being present, allowing, trusting the process, knowing when to act and when to rest. All of these qualities are genderless. They ask us all to show up and be our divine selves through nurturing our creative side. She rules herself. She does not attempt to rule others because she knows herself and her life. She is grounded in herself. She is grounded in the Earth. She is channeling raw creative energy. There are many goddesses that we can look to when connecting with mother energy. Earth mother goddesses. Gaia was the Goddess who Mothered all life. She was the embodiment of Earth. She created a place for all life to gestate and grow safely. Empress energy allows us to be like water. Allow life to happen and be there to witness it unfold before you. She allows herself and others to be who they are and grow wherever they have been planted. How can you allow yourself to connect with the Empress? Allow yourself to say no and set boundaries when you need to, out of love. You are growing something new. Nourish yourself and the project, whether that be your new startup, dream job, creative project, or new baby. Allow yourself to trust the universe. Instead of forcing things to happen as you think they should. You could be creating. Paint. Write. Cook. Sing. Let yourself be creative and go with the flow of inspiration. Allow yourself to sit at the river of creation and create. When you channel your thoughts and emotions into creating something, you are channeling the Empress. Next time you want to channel the Empress, try this simple 3-step process. 1. Stop. Before you react to a situation, stop and Ground. 2. Feel. Feel your feelings. Feel your surroundings. Allow life to unfold without trying to force it. 3. Act. Take action that aligns with your greater good and allows you to flourish. Allowing yourself to blossom is how the Empress shows us to allow and trust in the law of attraction. Instead of chasing after what we think we want. Love. Money. Happiness. We allow ourselves to receive by being open. When you allow yourself to be who you are, you are telling the universe you are ready. There is enough for everyone. Life is joyful. Allow yourself to blossom like nature intended. Living the Empress Wisdom: Practical Uses The Empress Card from the Visconti-Sforza Deck Lessons from the Empress are simple.

Allow yourself to receive. Do so freely and without feeling guilty or selfish. Stop going after opportunities. Position yourself so you can attract what you want. Dream. Believe. Allow what you want to be attracted to you. The Empress feels secure on her throne because she knows her value. Remind yourself of all the things you’re good at. Take care of yourself and notice the right things come to you. We all go through phases of building up and taking a break. The Empress listens to her own rhythm and knows when to sleep, create, or play on her accomplishments. If you need to sleep, don’t burn yourself out by keeping going. Listen to your rhythm. Take time each day to do something that feeds your senses. Pick some flowers, cook something yummy, and blast music that makes you happy. Beauty is fun for the Empress. It also helps her feed her spiritual and creative self. The Spiritual Invitation of the Empress The Empress invites you to slow down. She asks you to take some time with yourself. Return to your center. Allow yourself just to BE still. It is from this place of stillness that action and abundance flow. Can you pause for one deep breath? Practice sitting with yourself. Allow yourself just to BE. You do not have to do. You do not have to accomplish. You do not have to force inspiration and abundance to happen to you. When you relax and let life happen, abundance will flow into your life. Learning to sit with the Empress is learning to have the courage to BE still. To know that you are enough, that you are the center of your Universe. You do not need to push a mountain or force a river to bend with your willpower. Just sit with yourself. Offer yourself up as a beacon of grace and watch your vibration ripple out, sending waves throughout the Universe. Learn to sit as the Empress, and life will FALL INTO place. You will begin to create a life full of ease, beauty, and magnetism—a life where anything and everything you desire flows to you effortlessly. Listen to her whisper. Slow down. Pause. Sit with yourself and ground. You ARE the still point. Remember that you ARE the magnet. When you are centered, the Empress Universe is at your fingertips.

Life sometimes feels like a series of unrelated events. Random occurrences that can either have positive or negative consequences. Happy accidents. Unexpected tragedy. We chalk it up to being lucky. Unlucky. Destiny. None of those things feels tangible. But what if there was something much bigger than luck or tragedy consistently at work in our lives? What if there was an unbreakable force directing the flow of universal energy that is responsible for everything from galaxies forming to the tiniest thoughts in your mind? Enter The Law of Cause and Effect. The Law of Cause and Effect is a Hermetic Law that states that nothing happens by chance. Every event, situation, and condition we experience is the effect of a cause. There is a payoff for every action taken. If we can understand this, we can move from experiencing life to consciously creating our lives. We will cover how this law works. We will discuss how every legitimate cause-and-effect relationship starts with thought, how the physical world (effects) and the non-physical world (causes) interact, and how your reaction can create your future. By the end of this, you’ll learn how to stop floating through life and actually steer your ship using laws that were discovered thousands of years ago. The Illusion of Chance We live in a world full of games of chance. One where everything seems to happen by random encounters. The very notion that everything has a cause sounds absurd. Yet, when a plane goes down we look for the black box. Why? Because we know there was a cause. We know it didn’t crash because of “chance”. When we look at problems through science we easily accept there is a cause to everything in the physical world. But when it comes to our personal life we tend to brush events off as coincidence. Consider your life. You exist because your great-great-grandparents decided to have children with each other. This happened because their parents met and had children together. Your birth was the end product of a continuous chain of cause and effect. Look at the world around you. It seems as though physical things cause other physical things to occur. Yet the real power of causation doesn’t happen outside of you. It originates from the invisible world in your deep mind. Everything you see unfold in front of you is simply an out-picturing of thought and consciousness. The events themselves are not causes; the ideas behind the events are the causes. Causation doesn’t flow from the outward to the inward. Power flows from the inward planes to the outward planes. The Battleground of the Mind Most humans go through life as victims of cause and effect. We get pushed around by life and feel we have no control. It can seem like we have no free will. We’re prisoners of fate, cosmic influences, or other people’s actions. But remember that although we can’t always control what happens to us, we can control one amazing thing. Our response. That is where our power lies. Our response to anything is the next cause we create. Our reaction is the one thing we get to create. It’s our opportunity to break a negative cycle of cause and effect. It’s where the magic starts. The ego-response is automatic. The ego-mind always responds first with its own perceived agenda. It immediately tries to react to what happened with one of its stocked-up reactions (based on fears, rewards, habits, etc.). When the ego reacts, we get pushed deeper into life’s problems. Anger, fear, lust, defense are all ego responses based on its erroneous thought system. When we react from the ego, we inevitably create new causes for our own suffering. Once you realize this, you’ve been set free. If you know your ego will react first, you can wait to respond. Inside that glorious pause is where your power lies. Bypass the ego by refusing to react right away. Moving from Reaction to Conscious Creation The secret to applying the Law of Cause and Effect is not to react, and instead become a conscious creator. You do this by learning to pause before your knee-jerk emotional reaction kicks in. Rather than allowing your ego mind to automatically react, you learn to pause and turn within and ask for inspiration and guidance from your inner guide . Your higher self, your Divine connection to the Divine is your Inner “Merlin.” It knows for more about cause and effect then your ego mind does. Your higher self responds from a place of Oneness and Wisdom. When you pause and ask, “How would you have me respond?” You are allowing a higher level of causes to become planted in the fertile ground of your mind. There are a few steps to this process. Recognize the Reaction: Feel the impulse to automatically react to a person or situation. This could be feeling angry, frustrated, scared, etc. Allow yourself to feel the impulse, but don’t act on it. Create a Space: This step is choosing to wait. Don’t say anything, don't act on your initial impulse to react. Pause and allow yourself to exercise the ultimate act of self-control. This is where your power lies. Ask: Turn to the inner guide. Silence your mind and ask your Higher Self to show you the way. You can simply ask, “Show me how to look at this differently” or “What is the way to handle this situation?” Receive: Allow the answer you seek to come to you. Sometimes it will come when you least expect it. It may come as an idea, a thought, or a feeling sensation. You will know because it won’t feel like your ego talking, it will feel calm. It will feel right. Peaceful. Good. Respond: Now take the action that you received from your Guide. This action is now part of a different set of causes that you created by rising to a higher level of consciousness before you responded. That’s it. That is high magic. This is ancient magical wisdom. The entire process is the raising of your vibration so that you operate on higher levels of causation. When you operate from higher causes, you are no longer affected by the small stuff that most people are affected by such as negativity, emotions, people fighting, politics, money problems, bad astrological aspects, etc. You are now above the battle ground. The Inevitability of the Law of Cause and Effect The universe does not function in chaos. It may seem chaotic to us because our perception is limited. We do not see the full spectrum of cause and effect. Every action stems from a cause and creates an effect. This Law is 100% accountable for everything. There is no dodging it. It rules over every realm of existence. Nothing escapes this Law of Cause and Effect. The Law is "no respecter of persons." It’s not here to personally reward you or punish you. It simply exists. If you are seeing an effect manifest in your reality then there is a cause creating that effect. If you want the effect to change, you must change the cause. The ego-mind wants to skip that step. The ego wants to try and control the world of effects. It wants to manipulate circumstances and people, it wants to force outcomes instead of cleaning up the cause (mind). This is what leads to our perpetual struggles. This is the ego's wild goose chase. You will never find peace or power by believing that you are some little separated speck fighting against a cruel world. You are how God expresses itself as you. You are a ray of light emanating from a central star. Whatever is going on for you at this moment in your perceived reality is nothing more than a dream. A bad dream you think is real. Remember who you are. You are a creator. Becoming the Student of Your Own Life How do you move into this realm of causation? You do it by becoming humble. You start saying, “I don’t know.” You begin listening. Think of yourself as the young Arthur who as an apprentice of Merlin. This Merlin, this guide, is within you. Question everything your ego believes to be true. Question why you want what you want. Why do you believe something is “good” or “bad”? Why do you react to life in the way you do? When you learn to question yourself, you begin undoing the knee-jerk reactions you have towards life. You’ll begin to see that many of the choices you thought you were freely giving yourself were merely reactions to satisfy the ego's dictates based on pain, emotional trauma, socially-induced programming, etc. True freedom is learning how to say no to your ego's reactions. True freedom is realizing you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. “I don’t have to react to that anger. I don’t have to obey that craving. I can wait till I connect with something truer than that.” As you learn to pause and ask, you become the student that your teacher needs you to be. The messages your inner teacher has for you become that much more obvious. You will be shown, step-by-step, how to rightfully respond to the world around you with power and intelligence. You will walk among others and they will wonder to themselves how life just seems to go your way. Your strength doesn't come from trying to control what happens outside of you, but rather your strength comes from letting go of your perceived powerlessness by wielding your inner power to create. This isn’t an overnight process. Remember how addicted we are to our problems, to drama, and to the way the ego perceives the world. Letting go of all that for a power you feel you know nothing about can seem scary. And that’s why you take it one baby step at a time. Learn to not react, and instead ask questions. Be like an empty chalice ready to be filled. The more you practice this, the more your life will fall into perfect alignment. You will no longer be reacting to life. You will be creating your life by working with the law of cause and effect: The Universe’s number one law.
