April Week 3 - Other Celestial Stuff
This week we continue our study of the cosmic side of witchcraft by studying more about the planets, the zodiac signs, other celestial bodies and their movements/ placements. It’s a lot, so let’s dig in!!
Monday - Asteroid, Comets, meteors oh my!
Research/ New page(s) - look up the physical aspects of asteroids, comets and meteors. How are they similar? How are they different? What kinds of things do you associate with them? How can you utilize these energies and ideas and celestial bodies in your craft? What kind of energies do they have? Learn as much about them as possible and think hard on how they influence your craft, if they do at all!
Research/ New Page - pick another herb and get at it! Learn everything you can about it! Magic, mundane, myth, history, how to grow and so on!
Tuesday - Black holes, supernovas, star types
Research/ New Pages - make a new page for each of these and research. What are the physical aspects of black holes and supernovas? Make a list of the different star types and what their aspects are. What makes them different? How can these be utilized in your craft, if at all. How can the simple idea of them, or using them as a metaphorical influence for your magic work? Are there any myths of legends related to these?
Research/ new page - pick a gemstone or tarot card or type of magic or whatever else you’d like to research and make a page for it! Learn everything you can about it!
Wednesday - Damned Retrograde?
Research/ new page - what does it mean when a planet is in retrograde? Is there an opposite to being in retrograde? Other movements or positions? Learn as much about this topic as you can and fill out a page for it!
Thursday - Astrological Aspects
Research/ New Page - Look into the aspects of the various astrological signs. Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine and Opposition. The aspects are the way your energies will play out within the signs, and the connections between two or more planets. Add the information you find out about these to each planet’s page. The more you understand about these, the more some of the world around you might make sense during the time of those signs.
Friday - Rest, catch up
Yep you heard it! It’s a rest day or a catch up day! Utilize this day however you see fit!
Good luck and happy crafting witches!!

Starting a business with two separate bathrooms, except one of them has the symbol for alchemical antimony on the door, and the other, the symbol for alchemical phosphorus. If you ask the staff about it, they claim to understand your confusion, then lead you to a third, previously undisclosed bathroom with the alchemical symbol for potassium carbonate.

I love seeing prayers and stories of devotees who worship Gods that I don’t worship.
Actually, I’ve always been like this.
I love hearing the tales of religions that I don’t subscribe to. Even if I don’t agree with every Christian, I do enjoy hearing Christians talk about how wonderful Jesus is and what he means to them personally.
I enjoy hearing Muslims talk about their prayers, how they reserve time out of their day for their God.
I enjoy hearing Jews sing their psalms, I love hearing about how they prepare their food, how they consider God’s hands in their meals.
I love hearing about Hellenic rituals and Semetic celebrations. I love learning about the different holy days among different groups of pagans.
I love learning how different people have incorporated different Gods, acts, and customs into their faith. I love hearing about their myths and legends, the stories they tell their children before bed.
I love hearing about the different ways that humanity has connected to their personal idea of God.
I don’t worship Apollon or Shiva today, but I am so delighted to hear the prayers of those that do. It’s like I’m getting to feel the mist erupting off of a waterfall. Or hearing the echo of a song that I do not know the lyrics to, but I can still hum the melody. I can feel the notes permeate my mind, even if I don’t know what they mean.
I love that there are people who worship these Gods that I do not worship. I’m happy that there is so much diversity among humanity that we have enough love in us for all of them.
For the ones that even I don’t know the names of, or felt the warmth of. Someone has.
That’s a very very good thing.
