When the Time is Right

There's an old saying folks use all the time.. "when the time is
right... it will happen"
However true that may be... the time will never be right if you don't
continue walking toward that goal.
You can't expect to sit and wait for the right time to come by.. you
have to take action and do you part in attaining the goal you seek to
reach.
Don't allow "Well, it's just not time" to be your excuse.
The right time will show itself while you are busy working toward that
goal.. certainly not while you are sitting on the curb waiting for it.
So, what are you waiting for? You have work to do!
Many Blessings,
Raventalker

A Janus Samhain Spell

A Janus Samhain Spell
By Edain McCoy
Thousands of rituals and spells have been composed for
Samhain. On this night when the boundaries of life and death are blurred we
honor our ancestors, and we remember others who have passed over that we never
knew. What has been part of our past shapes our future. This Samhain we might
also want to look forward. Someday we will be the past that helped shape
someone else's future. Janus was the two-faced Roman god for whom January is
named. One face looks to the past, the other to the future. Turn to face the
west, the land of the dead and the deities, saying:
Janus, who looks
into the night toward the place where spirits seek light,
bless all souls
who come now as they hear it, and dance in the circle of spirit.
Turn to face the east, the point of the rising Sun, away
from death and into the promise of a new day, saying:
Janus, who into
the day at dawn's first glow and Sun's first ray, bless this circle without
hesitation, and fear not the past nor times not yet here.

A Powerful Time For Divination

A Powerful Time For Divination
New Worlds Issue:
NW065
By: Lisa Finander,
Acquisitions Editor: Astrology, Tarot, Divination & Shamanism
Excerpt is from
Crystal Balls and Crystal Bowls by Ted Andrews
http://www.llewellyn.com/bookstore/ article.php? id=1203
Halloween, All-hallow-even, All Hallow's Eve, Samhain and
All Saints' Eve are just a few of the names given to celebrations occurring on
October 31st. Although they all share similarities in their festivities, I am
going to focus on some of the Celtic customs related to Samhain.
Samhain begins at dusk on October 31st and is the Celtic New
Year's Eve. The God of summer is defeated and the God of winter and death now
presides over mother earth. This is a special day, the time of year when the
veil between the world of the living and the dead is the thinnest, and a time
when the communication between these worlds is the strongest. This has its good
and bad points, depending on if the visiting spirits are welcome or not!
When inviting loved ones home that usually reside in the
Otherworld, it is customary to either set an empty place at the table with food
and drink for deceased relatives or leave it outside for any traveling souls
returning to the places they once lived. The belief is that the souls nourish
themselves on the soul of the food provided. Bonfires (from the English
bone-fires) were lit, allowing the dead a place to warm themselves by. Doors,
windows and gates were unlocked to make sure their long-awaited guests knew
they were welcome. Jack-o'-lanterns (originally carved turnips) were
prominently displayed to protect the living and scare away evil spirits. The
carvings depicted protective guardians living in the spirit world.
Samhain is also a time when the ordinary rules of society
don't pertain, challenging the established order and introducing chaos. People
dress up in costumes switching conventional gender roles, wear masks that
emulate spirits or departed ancestors, and both worlds celebrate together.
During this transformational period between light and dark,
and life and death, there is an opening — a pause in time when magic is
believed to be at its strongest, making it a perfect time for divination and
seeing what the next year holds. It's a great time to expand your intuitive
skills. You could plan your own divination party and give yourself a "New
Year's" reading to boot. Llewellyn has a variety of books and products on the
different forms of divination.
A great tarot deck to add to your collection and especially
appropriate for Halloween (with more skeletons than you can count) is Tarot of
the Dead by Monica Knighton. This Otherworld-friendly deck uses Pens for Wands,
Coffins for Cups, Pistols for Swords and Reels for Pentacles.
At the beginning of November, Mexico
celebrates "Day of the Dead," or Dia de Los Muertos. While the specific dates
and observances vary depending on the region, the core of the holiday is the
same — to honor family and friends who have died. Cemeteries and homes are
decorated with flowers, and offering tables are laid out with gifts of food,
clothing and anything the loved one enjoyed in life. Some believe this is a
time set aside for remembrance, while others believe that the dead literally
return in spirit for a visit, communing with the family and enjoying the
essence of the offerings left for them.
However you choose to spend this day, make it a celebration
and remembrance of past, present and future love. Take time to stop and honor
the sacredness of all your relationships, with special focus on those we can no
longer touch. May all your readings be good ones.

is to subscribe to Tarot Update, Llewellyn's online newsletter. The latest

Diversity of Divination
In actuality, divination can involve any method by which
events are interpreted and/or explained. Divination is more than foretelling
the future. It does involve prediction, but it can also involve divining some
truth or interpreting omens and signs as part of its practice. Divination often
incorporates methods by which events are interpreted and explained. The most
commonly recognized tools and methods in our modern society are runes, tarot,
astrology, dreams and I Ching. Many strange and unusual methods of divination
have been employed, from the reading of entrails to the study of cloud
formations.
Aeromancy — the casting of dirt or sand into
the wind to determine answers by the direction the wind takes it.
Apantomancy — observing objects that appear
haphazardly.
Belomancy — divination by the flight of
arrows.
Bibliomancy — consulting a passage or line in
a book at random.
Catoptromancy — divination through a lens or a
magic mirror.
Ceromancy — dropping melted wax into water and
observing results.
Chiromancy — divination by the lines of the
hand.
Crystalomancy — divination by clear globe,
pool of water, mirror or transparent object.
Geloscopy — interpretation of a person's
laughter.
Gyromancy — spinning and falling to the
ground, leading to oracles.
Hepatoscopy — observation of a sheep's liver.
Myomancy — divination by studying the entrails
or the movements of rodents.
Oenisticy — divination by studying the flight
of birds.
Onomancy — divination by rearranging the
letters in a name.
Ooscopy — using an egg to determine the sex of
an unborn child.
Phrenology — studying the bumps and contours
of the head.
Physiognomy — the study of human facial
features.
Pyromancy — divination by smoke and fire.
Tasseography — the reading of tea leaves and
their shapes.
Xylomancy — observation of the position of
twigs on the ground.
