Brown Recluse Spiders ...deadly and aggressive

Venom toxicity - the brown recluse venom can cause significant cutaneous injury with tissue loss and necrosis. Habitat - brown recluse is found in the United States from the east to the west coast, with predominance in the south. Spider Identification - an adult spider is 1/4 to 3/4 inch in body - a dark violin shape is located on the top of the leg attachment region with the neck of the violin pointing backward toward the abdomen. Unlike most spiders that have 8 eyes, the brown recluse has 6 eyes arranged in pairs - one pair in front and a pair on either side. CLICK HERE - FIRST AID - Brown Recluse Spider Bite

Black Widow Spiders ...highly venomous - can be deadly

Venom toxicity - the Back Widow Spider can inflict a painful bite which can be fatal, especially to the young and elderly. An effective anti-venom was developed in 1956. Only a small amount of venom can cause serious illness, as the poison attacks the nervous system. Systemic envenomisation usually results in headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, pyrexia and hypertension. The pain around the bite area can be excruciating or it may go unnoticed. First aid and medical attention should be sought as soon as possible, if bitten. If you have heart condition or other heart problem, you may need hospitalization. Spider Identification - the body of an adult black widow is about 1/2 inch long. The female black widow is normally shiny black, with a red hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen. The marking may range in color from yellowish orange to red and its shape may range from an hourglass to a dot. Habitat - prefers woodpiles, rubble piles, under stones, in hollow stumps, sheds and garages. Indoors it can be found in undisturbed, cluttered areas in basements and crawl spaces. CLICK HERE - FIRST AID - Black Widow Spider Bite

Hobo Spiders : venomous - dangerous?

Venom toxicity - although the bite of the hobo spider is initially painless, the bite can be serious. After 24 hours, the bite develops into a blister and after 24-36 hours, the blister breaks open, leaving an open, oozing ulceration. Typically when the venom is injected, the victim will experience an immediate redness, which develops around the bite. The most common reported symptom is severe headache. Other symptoms can include nausea, weakness, fatigue, temporary memory loss and vision impairment. In any case, first aid and medical attention should be sought, if bitten, as and when any adverse health effects are observed. Spider Identification - they are brown in color and the adults measure roughly 1/3 to 2/3 inch in body length and 2/3 to 2 inches in leg span. Their abdomens have several chevron shaped markings. Males are distinctively different from females in that they have two large palpi (mouth parts) that look like boxing gloves. Females tend to have a larger and rounder abdomen when compared to males. Habitat - they can be found anywhere in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. They rarely climb vertical surfaces and are uncommon above basements or ground level. CLICK HERE - FIRST AID - Hobo Spider Bite

Funnel Web Grass Spiders: low risk, non-aggressive

Venom toxicity - the bite of these spiders is of low risk to humans. Spider Identification - are common outdoors and are occasionally found indoors. They are generally brownish or grayish with light and dark stripes near the head. They have long spinnerets and are moderate-sized (3/4 inch long). Grass spiders construct a large sheet web with a funnel they use as a retreat. These webs are commonly built on the ground, around steps, window wells, foundations, and low shrubs. Habitat - These spiders are often called grass spiders because they construct their webs in tall grass, heavy ground cover and the branches of thick shrubs. Rarely will a funnel web spider be seen indoors, except for an occasional wandering male. They are found mostly in the Pacific Northwest states. CLICK HERE - FIRST AID - Funnel Web Grass Spider Bite

Mouse Spiders ...venomous - painful bite

Venom toxicity - known to cause severe illness, especially to young children - similar to Red-Back Spider. Although normally not aggressive, the male mouse spider will bite if provoked, and should be considered dangerous to humans. It has large hard fangs which can cause a deep painful bite.

The male Mouse Spider often has a bright red head and elongated fangs. Habitat - Mouse spiders are ground dwellers with burrows of more than 3 feet deep. The male often wanders about during the day on open ground, especially after rain, in search of females. CLICK HERE - FIRST AID - Mouse Spider Bite

Black House Spiders ...venomous - nausea

Venom toxicity - the bite of the Black House Spider is poisonous but not lethal. Certain people bitten experience severe pain around the bite site, heavy sweating, muscular pains, vomiting, headaches and giddiness. First aid and medical attention (ambulance) should be sought as soon as possible. Spider Identification - adults are about 1/2 inch in body length and of a dark brown to black velvet textured appearance. Habitat - this spider spins a lacy, messy web and is prefers dry habitats in secluded locations. It is commonly found in window framing, under eaves, gutters, in brickwork, sheds, toilets and among rocks and bark. Electric lights attract their prey - moths, flies, mosquitoes and other insects.

Orb-Weaving Spiders ...low risk - non-aggressive

Venom toxicity - the bite of Orb-Weaving Spiders is of low risk (not toxic) to humans. They are a non-aggressive group of spiders. Seldom bite.

Myself as well. I often find myself day dreaming about many acres of pristine land full of rescued animals that have been saved from their tragic situations. All of them safe, well fed and loved.
Over the years I have sat down with paper and pencil and spend days sketching out perfect shelters for rescued animals. I've spend endless hours planning the perfect housing for on site employees, a full time Vet clinic and his/her home, my home, play areas for the animals, etc, etc.
If only I had the money.....................................................
 
Ah, I'm rambling.

It restores my belief in humanity when groups like this sprout up when disasters happen.  One of my daughters once told me, "Mom, you can't save them all."  While I do realize that I can't, if I was wealthy, most of my money would go take care of animals in need.

but while looking at these i saw the bottom right one jiggle and move and at first thought i was seeing things, then saw it move again and i am not joking, i nearly threw my laptop across the bed to get away from it.....

ahhhhh naughty sneaky witch...

whooo let me get my heart started again....

When I first saw that one move, I kept waiting for the other ones to move, too. My 4-year-old granddaughter Hailey was looking at them with me and said, pointing to the Black Widow, "Oooh, I like her." I smiled, because we have had many Black Widows living in our houses for many years.

I've always found Black Widows to be very docile, unless you sit on them or something.
 
When I was a teenager my bedroom was attached to, but not part of the house. I would wake up in the morning with spiders snuggled in bed with me. I never knew until after I left home that they were Black Widows. They never bothered me, just like to snuggle I guess.  LOL

This was very interesting to me. I have wanted to look up this very information
for a while, but never took the time to do it. I have never been one to fear
spiders. I have a respect for them. Once, I stood for about a half hour watching
one weave a web. I thought it was so beautiful. My oldest daughter calls me
weird because of many things, but this is at the top of the list. I do not kill
spiders when I see them, especially if they are of the garden variety. If they
harm my kids, however, I will kill just about anything! I read most of the
information to my kids, I just hope they don't have bad dreams. Thanks again for
sharing. I love all of your interesting information. Even though I may not
respond to most of it, I try to read it all.

Beth

Beth, we had Black Widows living in some of the ceiling corners in several rooms. When the kids were younger, they would try to catch flies and other insects to give to the spiders. When we would see egg sacs, we would be sad because we knew what it meant for the Mama. When the little spiders started crawling out of the egg sacs we would catch what we could and relocate them to our shed or porch. People always thought we were wierd; I can't imagine why.

She hears you. Perhaps you are meant to go through a period of introspection, like the Tarot card The Hanged Man (not moving forward or backward) before anything definite will happen. When you are ready, a teacher (or group) will appear. (Famous words)

Elder's Meditation of the Day

Elder's Meditation of the Day

"We were taught generosity to the poor and reverence for the Great Mystery. Religion was the basis of all Indian training."

-- Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), SANTEE SIOUX

Every Indian knows and has a feeling inside that, bottom line, our real purpose on earth is to be of service to our fellow man and to be of maximum service to the Great Spirit. The Creator designed the earth to be self supporting - everything is interconnected and all things were created to be of service to each other. The Indian way is to pray about all things. Religion is not separate from any part of our lives. Everything is spiritual and we are to view all matters in this way. Family is spiritual, work is spiritual, helping others is spiritual, our bodies are spiritual, our talk is spiritual, our thoughts are spiritual. We need to practice seeing all things as spiritual.

Great Spirit, today let me help the needy and allow me the wisdom to have respect and reverence for Your teachings.

The Twelve Gifts of Birth

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com   nightshayde99

Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:43 pm (PDT)




The Twelve Gifts of Birth
by Charlene Costanzo

Once upon a time, a long time ago, when princes and princesses lived
in faraway kingdoms, royal children were given twelve special gifts
when they were born. You may have heard these stories.

Twelve wise women of the kingdom, or fairy godmothers as they were
often called, traveled swiftly to the castle whenever a new prince or
princess came into the world. Each fairy godmother pronounced a noble gift upon
the royal baby.

As time went on, the wise women came to understand that the twelve
royal gifts of birth belong to every child, born anywhere, at anytime.
They yearned to proclaim the gifts to all children, but the customs of the land did
not allow that.

One day when the wise women gathered together they made this
prophecy:

"Someday all the children of the world will learn the truth about
their noble inheritance. When that happens a miracle will unfold on
the kingdom of Earth. Someday is near."

Here is the secret they want you to know. At the wondrous moment you
were born, as you took your first breath, a great celebration was held in
the heavens and twelve magnificent gifts were granted to you.

The first gift is Strength. May you remember to call upon it
whenever you need it.

The second gift is Beauty. May your deeds reflect its depth.

The third gift is Courage. May you speak and act with confidence and
use courage to follow your own path.

The fourth gift is Compassion. May you be gentle with yourself and
others. May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make
mistakes.

The fifth gift is Hope. Through each passage and season, may you
trust the goodness of life.

The sixth gift is Joy. May it keep your heart open and filled with
light.

The seventh gift is Talent. May you discover your own special
abilities and contribute them toward a better world.

The eighth gift is Imagination. May it nourish your visions and
dreams.

The ninth gift is Reverence. May you appreciate the wonder that you
are and
the miracle of all creation.

The tenth gift is Wisdom. Guiding your way, wisdom will lead you
through knowledge to understanding. May you hear its soft voice.

The eleventh gift is Love. It will grow each time you give it away.

The twelfth gift is Faith. May you believe.

Now you know about your twelve gifts of birth. But there is more to
the secret that the wise women knew. Use your gifts well and you will
discover others among them a gift that is uniquely you. See these noble gifts in
other people.

Share the truth and be ready for the miracle to unfold as the
prophecy of the wise women comes true.

Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

The Moon's Road

The Moon's Road is a luminous band visible in the west after sunset, and in the east before sunrise, believed to be a ring of unknown composition encircling the world.

To walk The Moon's Road is:

To wander, especially along tide-washed shores
To walk at length without point
To be visible at all times
To serve as an example to others
To be an adherent of an esoteric doctrine
To retire to an inaccessible place
To act in a disturbing or inexplicable manner
To speak in error, or act inappropriately, usually through ignorance rather than guile
To act without thought of consequences
To engage in a difficult enterprise, one whose outcome is uncertain
To be in love
To die

I am walking The Moon's Road. Are you?

Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

Red Alert Witchcraft

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com   nightshayde99

Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:47 pm (PDT)





Red Alert Witchcraft

Sometimes the universe grants you the luxury of dedicated magical space, appropriate tools and supplies, planning time, and everything else you need for elaborate ritual magic. Other times a problem pops up that must be dealt with immediately, right where you are, with little or nothing in the way of tools and ceremony. Magic is wonderfully versatile--and the power lies within the practitioner more than in any tool or ceremony.

You can use magic to solve metaphysical problems or in conjunction with mundane efforts to address mundane problems; it is especially good for preventing small issues from snowballing into a major crisis. Advance preparation helps to make you ready for whatever challenges may come your way. Here are some ideas to get you started.

First Steps

Step #1: Stay calm. In order to respond appropriately to a challenge, you need a clear head. By remaining calm, you can use your magical and mundane skills to best advantage. Likewise, keep everyone else calm. Few situations are so bad that panic can't make things a whole lot worse.

Step #2: Ground, center, and shield. Grounding connects you to an outside power source so you don't exhaust your personal energy. Centering lets you keep your mental feet under you, protecting you from internal stress and making it harder for people to confuse you or push you around. Shielding raises a barrier between you and others, protecting you from external stress due to other people or hostile energies. Together these magical techniques give you a firm foundation from which to work--and after some practice, they can be done instantly with a flick of your will, with no outward sign at all.

Step #3: Identify the problem. Take time to figure out exactly what is wrong, as best you can tell. Is the matter small or large? Magical or mundane? In progress, imminently, or merely approaching? Who does it affect? How did it get started? Ask other people for information, if possible, but also use all of your physical and metaphysical powers of observation. The more you know about the situation, the better your chance of resolving it in a positive manner.

Step #4: Make a plan take time to use your cool head and your observations to decide on a course of action. Don't just do the first thing you think of. Whether you have seconds, minutes, or hours to respond--make the best of that time. Then act on your plan to improve the situation.

Emergency Supplies

One excellent way to prepare for the unexpected is to carry a few simple items that are useful in a variety of situations. These fit neatly in a purse, pocket, backpack, suitcase, the glove compartment of a car, and so forth. Most are inconspicuous, thus unlikely to attract attention from curious onlookers.

Essences and Oils: If you have a favorite flower essence or essential oil for use in a crisis, carry some with you in a perfume bottle or pendant. Bach's Rescue Remedy is a popular choice, a blend of flower essences designed to soothe and balance. For essential oil, consider a "protection" blend, such as Spellbound offered by Kamala Perfumes, ideal for shielding. Magical liquids can be used to draw runes, protective symbols, etc. Fragrant oils and flower essences both represent elemental air, which brings clarity of mind.

Lighter: Even if you don't smoke, a cigarette lighter makes a discreet source of flame. It serves as a representation of elemental fire, which purifies and protects. Of course, if you've got candles, you can also light them; but in a pinch, the lighter alone will work.

Mirror: A compact mirror, signal mirror for campers, or other tiny portable mirrors will suffice; a large one is not necessary. Pointed away from you, mirrors reflect negativity. Just carrying one repels some malicious entities. A mirror also make s a good focus for scrying. In dim light, gaze into the reflective surface and let your mind wander until images form.

Pencil: A wooden pencil makes an excellent magic wand. (A mechanical pencil or a pen can work, but usually not as well as natural wood.) Holding it as you would your regular wand, use it to direct and focus energy. It's also ideal for writing runes, protective symbols, and so forth to affect other objects.

Pentacle: Wear a pentacle for protection, preferable under your clothes next to your skin. It is also a place to store magical energy. Fill it up during a quiet time, and you'll have that energy available when things get tense. Magical tools can be charged in many ways including energy manipulation, repeated ritual use, and leaving them out in sunlight or moonlight. A pentacle represents all the magical elements combines.

Salt: This representation of elemental earth purifies, protects, and blesses. Salt repels or banishes many hostile energies. Sprinkle it dry or mix it with water. In either form, salt can be used to trace wards or protective symbols. Draw a circle with salt or salt water to keep out unwanted influences. Dabbing it on a lock discourages anyone else from messing with the lock, and protects the locked item or space. The easiest and most discreet way to carry salt is to save those little paper packets used in fast-food restaurants.

Stones: Many semiprecious stones have magical qualities. Wear them as jewelry, carry them on a key chain, stash them in the glove compartment of your car, etc. At a minimum, carry a quartz crystal, which adapts to serve any magical purpose. Other good choices include: amethyst (increases psychic powers), garnet (gives courage), aventurine (calms), jade (brings luck), obsidian (protects), jasper (aids with grounding). Any ordinary rock can represent earth or assist grounding, too. Hold the stone and concentrate on your goal to activate a stone's magical qualities--although some qualities tend to be active continually, like protection or luck.

Thread: Lighter and easier to conceal than rope, thread (or string) works just as well for knot magic. With it you can work a quick charm to bind an enemy, tangle the path of a pursuer, slow blood loss, bind or loosen the wind--anything traditionally done with knot magic. To bind, slow, stop, or prevent something, tie one or more knots in a thread. To release, set loose, or open something, untie one or more knots. To obscure a trail, tie a tangle of thread and drop it where a pursuer will step on it. A traveler's sewing kit contains several different colors of thread, and the smallest kits fit in the palm of a hand. A stray thread pulled from your clothing also works.

Water: In all forms, water purifies. Running water forms a protective boundary, and ice binds. To banish something, draw it or write its name on a piece of toilet paper, and flush it down a toilet. To cleanse yourself of unwanted energies, go to the nearest restroom and wash your hands. Water is usually easy to find even if you don't carry it. Still, bottled water or a perfume bottle of water is easy and unobtrusive to keep with you. Of course, it also represents elemental water.

Inconspicuous Magic

Some types of magic are flashy. Others are discreet, giving little or no outward sign of their presence. Inconspicuous magic is often faster because it relies more on the caster and less on outside tools. Also, magic works on the caster and less on outside tools. Also, magic works best when given a framework to support it, so it's easier to layer a shield over an existing wall than to create one in midair. It's easier to shift probabilities to match your mundane actions than to make something happen by magic alone. This also helps hide magic by providing an alternative explanation--instead of "witchcraft" you're benefiting from "favorable coincidences." (One definition of magic is coincidence control.)

Energy manipulation is the most basic type of magic. You simply grab the power and shape it into the form you need. Mold it into a wall or bubble to shield yourself or others. (Do not try to stop onrushing energy and objects directly, just deflect them harmlessly to one side.) To clear negative energy from an area, imagine a wind or broom sweeping it all away. If you need to pass quickly through a crowd, shape your aura into a wedge and extend it ahead of you to move people apart. Energy manipulation comes entirely from inside you, so there's nothing for nonmagical people to notice.

Folk charms include a wide range of simple actions and objects, each creating a specific effect. A penny in your shoe for wealth, an obsidian bead on your cell phone to protect it from loss or theft, a four-leaf clover for luck--these are all passive folk charms that require no action from you to do their thing. Making a fig hand (thumb between first two fingers) to avert evil, tying a knot to calm a storm, scuffing your shoe on a threshold to shed hostility--these are active charms that are easily concealed, perhaps behind your back or under a table. Another option is to layer such charms over a similar action required for mundane reasons; for instance, if you're wrapping gauze over a cut, concentrate on stopping the bleeding when you knot the bandage in place. Most of the items mentioned previously in "Emergency Supplies" can be used in folk charms.

Meditation works well in any situation where you need to wait for something to happen, stay alert, or remain calm for an extended period of time. You can meditate by focusing your attention on a sound like a ticking clock or a soothing phrase; by staring at a pattern, such as a scrollwork carpet or the dance of shadows under a tree; and so forth. the "alert" version works by spreading your awareness evenly throughout your environment, noticing everything but not focusing on anything--until something requires a response, when you will be ready to act immediately. Meditation keeps you from exhausting yourself with worry, and recharges your energy after working magic or other exertion. Being completely internal, it tends to be undetectable.

Prayer serves a similar function to meditation. It soothes, heals, and restores energy. But unlike the other forms of magic discussed here, prayer asks a higher power for assistance rather than creating the desired effect through the practitioner's own will. It requires the least amount of effort, making it more useful when you lack the energy for anything more exertive; and it needs no outward sign, although you can add some (such as a hand gesture or a holy symbol) if you wish.

Symbols represent a certain energy or goal in a visual pattern. Good symbols for emergencies include algiz (shield), Eye of Horus (protects against the evil eye), lightning bolt (power, success), nauthiz (need, petition for aid), om (meditation), peace symbol (neutralizes hostility), pentagram (protection, containment), raido (safe travel), and Thor's hammer or tau cross (averts misfortune). Symbols may be traced in the air, drawn with a pencil, or traced on objects using magical liquids such as essential oil. The above symbols and uses will fit on an index crd, which can be folded and kept in a wallet or glove compartment for reference.

Visualization is a technique used to facilitate many magical effects. It involves forming an intense sensory image--visual, auditory, tactile, etc.--of what you wish to happen. For instance, when manipulating energy to make someone leave you alone, you might imagine yourself concealed by fog and the bothersome person walking away. For safe travel on icy roads, you could throw down a pinch of salt while imagining the ice melting and your car tires gripping the road securely. The harder you concentrate, and the more detailed your visualization, the more effective it will be.

Wherever you go, you will find challenges--and a little magical preparation will help you to meet them gracefully. Practice with different techniques and tools so you'll learn which ones work best for you. Then when life sends you a "red alert," you'll be ready!

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill; I will choose a path that's clear-I will choose Free Will.

Quiet Space Spell

Quiet Space Spell

To rid yourself of the headaches that a lack of money frequently causes, gather together all your current bills, your checkbook, and any cash or coins you have in the house. Wrap them together in a green velvet cloth, and go to a quiet space, preferably in nature. Lie down on the ground, and place the velvet bag under your head. Close your eyes and slowly chew two fresh leaves of feverfew. Imagine what your life will be like when all your financial obligations are easily met each month. What type of work would you have? What would you eat? What would you do after work? Remember this feeling of freedom whenever you pay a bill or are feeling particularly panicky about money. Do not do this ritual if you are taking prescription medications.

Honor Your Spirit

Honor Your Spirit

Life is hard. Life is a joyful journey. Your response to these
statements determines whether or not you are honoring your spirit.
To be happy peaceful and productive in life you need to follow your inner
knowing, your hunches and gut instincts. Your spirit is the divine
spark that God/Goddess source or your higher self has put into you as your
guiding tool to help you live a more fulfilling life. Honoring your
spirit is to respect who you are as a spiritual being and manifesting
the unique positive desires in your heart. Many of life's
difficulties with career and painful relationships are because you have turned off
that light switch of God/Goddess source which is your plug to divine
wisdom. When life moves easily and happily you are following your
inner wisdom. When it is traumatic and painful it is because you have
dishonored yourself in some way. Universal law is very simple, "It is
done unto you as you believe".

The universe gives you exactly back what you put out. If you honor
yourself the universe honors you. If you disrespect yourself, guess
what? Your beliefs are more powerful than you can imagine.
Dishonoring can be eating toxic foods for your body temple or being in a
relationship with someone who is not supporting you. Here are some
simple rules to follow, to help you to h.o.n.o.r. your spirit.

H - Honesty. Honesty with yourself and your life. Are you overweight
or broke? Are your relationships in trouble? Take an inventory of the
negative attributes in your life and look at them truthfully. Also
assess honestly your good points. Are you kind, cooperative and
organized? Be honest with who you are. Learn to love what you are
manifesting and begin to be honest with your buried limiting beliefs.

O - Owning. This means to be honest with who you are and also own
your stuff! Take responsibility for your honest assessment of who you
are. If you are in debt $20,000 own up to it and that means being proactive
to change it. Try debt counseling or money management. Owning up to your
issues shows self respect and self esteem, it does not acknowledge
failure.

N - Nature. Your spirit is in tuned with all of the natural elements
of life. The more you are in nature the more you become synchronized to
the rhythm and the vibrations of life. Nature teaches you there are
cycles. Situations come and go. There is death and rebirth. Nature also heals
your wounded soul. A walk along the beach or in the mountains does
wonder to balance your life.

O - Openness. Be open to the synchronistic messages and divine wisdom
that is always at your fingertips. Open your heart to living a more
spiritual and intuitive life. This leads you to answer your hearts
desires. Meditation, quiet contemplative time, along with journaling
makes you more open to universal messages. Trust your feelings.. what
gives you goose bumps and chills?? When you are open to the flow of
life, you begin to be guided coincidentally to creative potential and
inner peace.

R-enew and R-ecreate - When you renew yourself, you are flowing with
the universal rhythms of recreating and renewing yourself, like the
cycles of nature. Throughout life there are many deaths and this gives you
the opportunity to recreate. Through these periods you need to be honest
with yourself, own where you are, go into nature and be open to the
transitory messages and recreate yourself. This is healing and
honoring your spirit!

Magical Laws

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com   nightshayde99

Magical Laws

We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatsoever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
Chief Seattle, 1855


Following a magical path can sometimes be difficult. Along with the benefits and personal empowerment comes the responsibility. This means accountability for all your actions and magical intent. These key responsibilities are governed by what are known as universal laws. For some, these laws pose a burden, as the expectation is that you stay true to an ethical path and work your intent for the good of all. For most of us, the universal laws provide a framework that helps us understand how magic, spellcraft, and visualization harness the natural energy around us.

Universal Laws

Universal laws represent the collective wisdom of humans, translating into laws that we instinctively already know. They are constant, natural laws that apply to all living things in our universe and relate to forces at work that we invoke through our magical intent. Some writers refer to them as spiritual laws or metaphysical laws.

The universal laws that are most relevant to practicing magic are:

*Law of Cause and Effect
*Law of Accountability
*Law of Attraction
*Law of Abundance

Laws Connect Magical Purposes

The universal laws are related to the fundamental magical purposes of self-protection and manifestation. When you practice responsible magic for your protection, ensure it is safe and ethical and does not intend to harm anyone. Following responsible magic for your self-protection embraces the doctrines of the universal laws of accountability and cause and effect. For example, you cannot justify a spell or revenge in the name of karma--karma works alone. It takes considerable willpower to leave it to cosmic justice to make the adjustment.

When you perform magic to protect yourself, focus on diminishing negative influences around you and rendering others powerless to emotionally harm you. Throughout the ritual, ensure that your thoughts are pure and positive. Do this without anger or hatred, otherwise you could unwittingly wish harm on the person, and return that negative energy onto yourself.

The aspects of magical practice that rely on visualization and manifestation link to the two universal laws of attraction and abundance.

The Law of Cause and Effect

Being responsible for your own actions means being prepared to face the consequences of what you do. This is also known as karmic law, or karma. In the Western world, many people have misunderstood karma to mean fate or destiny. This infers that we cannot influence any outcomes. The real meaning of karma, however, is quite the opposite. Karma is the Sanskrit word for "cause and effect," meaning that for every action there is a consequence. Your choice to act or think in a certain way is the "cause." The outcome of that choice is the "effect."

Everything is shaped by your thoughts or actions, even subconscious or unintentional thoughts. This reinforces the interconnectedness of what we do, what we say, what we think, and what actually happens. For every negative cause or action, expect a negative effect or consequence. The same applies to positive energy. Every positive thought or action you create will result in a positive consequence. Therefore, we create our own karma.

The law of karma is expressed in many ways. No doubt you've heard phrases such as "what goes around comes around," and "you reap what you sow." This law is aligned with the Wiccan law of threefold return, written in the Rede as "Ever mind the rule of three" and, "An it harm no one, do what thou wilt." Karma has a parallel in conventional religions where it is expressed as the Golden Rule, "Do for others what you want them to do for you." The Golden Rule teaches us that we must accept responsibility for our actions and the consequences of these actions, regardless of our religion.

All world religions have a version of the Golden Rule that endorses this accountability. Belief in the law of karma promotes our accountability, forcing us to think about our actions.

Be patient and watch karmic law at work. Understanding karma helps you deal with apparent injustices and seemingly unpleasant circumstances. It spares you the energy that you might invest in struggles and denial. Karma doesn't mean allowing yourself to be trampled on by tolerating unacceptable circumstances, but it gives you the inner wisdom and calm to manage challenges. Instead of wasting hours devising a way to get even with someone who has hurt you, let go and trust the natural law of karma. Karma reminds us that everything is connected.

The Law of Accountability

The law of accountability is closely linked to the law of cause and effect. Sometimes referred to as the ethic of responsibility, this law simply means that we are responsible for everything we do. Sometimes, we try to blame others for our actions to shift the guilt for an inappropriate behavior. The law of accountability states that as we control all our actions, we must accept responsibility for the outcomes of our behavior. There is no exit route like "the devil made me do it" or "I was under the influence of alcohol."

I recall a situation at work where a married male colleague had a fling with an attractive female coworker at an out-of-town conference. He was so wracked with guilt and confusion that he blamed her entirely for their grief liaison. He even said to her, "It wasn't my fault, you seduced me. I couldn't say 'no.'" The reality is that no one forced his infidelity. He played a willing role in their intimacy and later he looked for an excuse to ease his guilt. The blame was a weak and misguided attempt to escape his self-responsibility. In each role we lay, we are responsible for every action, behavior, word, ritual, or magical practice we invoke or carry out.

The Law of Attraction

The universal law of attraction states "like energy attracts like." Thoughts also have their own energy. If you think negative thoughts, you will surround yourself with a negative vibration that will attract more negativity, resulting in negative choices and attitudes. On the other hand, if you start with positive thoughts, that positive energy from your mind becomes your surrounding force field and you will project and attract positive vibrations. It's a scientific fact that negative particles attract other negative particles. Likewise, positive ions attractive positive ions.

Magic is the manipulation of energy. If you are a product of your thoughts, then to manifest change, you need to program the thought processes in your conscious and subconscious mind through creative visualization and positive affirmations. Often, what you need to reprogram is your self-talk--the inner dialogue that has become habit after many years. In your magical practice, visualize what you want to achieve in your mind's eye. Capture the desired image and replay it in your conscious mind. By creating a visual imprint in your subconscious and conscious minds, you mobilize the law of attraction.

The Law of Abundance

The law of abundance teaches us that the universe is abundant in resources for everyone. On a personal level, we must believe in abundance in our lives to allow opportunities to come our way. This belief is essential for the manifestation of your dreams and magic as it paves the way for positive thinking and infinite possibilities. Belief in the law of abundance is closely inked to the law of attraction, because this mindset acknowledges that the universe responds to our thoughts.

Think about this. If your mind is closed to possibilities, then you will never be able to visualize them or manifest your endless options or opportunities. With a closed mind, you may have programmed your mind to believe that you don't deserve positive outcomes. If that mental door to abundance is closed, the breeze of opportunity will not find a way to reach you.

When your magic and spellcraft works in alignment with these universal laws, you are in true harmony with the universe and in the best position to harness the forces of the natural energies around you. Remember your obligation to walk any magical path responsibly. You are accountable for your own actions and your intent. Step away from the power games for authentic inner strength. With your empowerment comes responsibility; a responsibility that lies with you.

The universe is composed of energy and that energy is an abundant resource. With the universal law of attraction, that states that like energy attracts like, you can manifest change through your positive intent. Your thought patterns not only dictate your behavior, but also impact how you create your future, your success, and your magical life.
