Dark Moon

• ALBOTAYN, the Belly of Aries (12Image51 to 25Image42) ruled by ENEDIEL for destroying buildings under construction and creating arguments

Use this meditation to uncover the source of argumentative energy in order to better deal with the real issues.

Magical work: meditation for ending arguments. Dress a purple working candle with frankincense oil: Purple for progress and protection; frankincense for protection and psychic energy. Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns for progress and protection! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

Pose in your mind a question, a problem, a situation where you need the advice, guidance, or direction from the Veiled Goddess to uncover the source of arguments in order to find workable solutions. Formulate your thought and let it slip into the depths of your mind.

Take a few steps from your safe place, and see that you are standing in a pleasant, broad, sunlit meadow bordered by a deep forest. In the distance you see tall mountains, and you remember that you have walked in the woods before, but have not climbed the mountain before. You walk now toward the forest. The woods are shady and dark, with a coolness you can feel as you approach. It is very inviting to enter the shadowy forest and leave the heat of the sun behind you. You see a narrow dirt path and remember this was one you followed before, but now you notice another trail winding away in another direction, toward the mountains you can no longer see, but know are nearby. You follow this trail, and soon the woods thin out so you can see the snowy peaks of the mountain range beyond the woodlands. The trail is easy to walk, and you hear the twittering of birds around you. Your totem animal or your guide is coming to walk with you. The air is crisp and clean, and a slight breeze fans your face as, together with your companion, you follow the trail away from the trees and past large boulders where the trail winds up toward a snowcapped mountaintop.

The air is cool, but not unpleasant as the Sun shines brightly in the clear blue sky. With tour totem animal or guide, you climb the gentle slope, following the dirt path that threads a passage among tall boulders. Brush is sparse, and now you are walking on patches of snow. You pause and look down to see the tops of trees blotting out the forest floor. The meadow is an opening in the forest, and you see the rivulets of water from melting snow meandering down the mountain to disappear into the woods.

Now, you look up and continue with your companion, passing rocks, snowy patches, and little streams until you notice that the snowcap on top of the mountain conceals a small, dry cave, and this is where your guide is leading you. You move along a ledge of rock, and come to the opening of the cave. You look inside. At first it may appear dark, but as your eyes adjust, you see that is clean and tidy. There is a bearskin rug on the ground, a small fire pit with a fire burning, and a tripod with a cauldron hanging from it over the fire.

Your guide motions you to enter, and you brush past some overhanging grasses, wet with the melting snow, which drizzles on you as enter the cave. You turn to look out and discover the view is panoramic, taking in forest, meadow, and the circling mountain ranges. You remember that ancient sages were known to meditate and commune with the Divine in places like this. You feel comfortable and secure here as the atmosphere of calm and compassion wraps gently around you. You turn back to look at the cauldron, and now you see that an old woman, cloaked and hidden in the shadows is moving to stir the contents of the pot with a dark, long-handled wooden spoon.

“Look within,” she whispers, “and see what you will see. Listen to the steam and bubbles, and hear what you will hear.”

You take a step to the cauldron, and gaze within, looking and listening. Is there a symbol in the cauldron? A rune? A sentence? An image? Look and see. (Pause.) Do you hear a voice? A word? A song? A call? Listen and hear. (Pause)

Remember what you have seen and heard. Look up from the cauldron. Your companion motions to you, and you know it is time to return down the mountain path. You nod to the ancient Crone, who smiles as you turn and walk out of the cave, past the overhanging, dripping, grasses, and into the bright sunlight. The path down the mountain is easy to tread, and you feel comfortable walking past the ancient stones and the little streams.

Now, you pass some trees, and the path takes you into the cool, dark forest. You know your way back to your safe place and quickly walk through the woods. Your companion leaves you at the edge of the woods as you return to the meadow. The Sun shines over the grasses and flowers of the meadow, and you brush your hand over the tall, soft grasses, moving back now to your sanctuary, your safe place. You gaze back at the forest and the mountains beyond, remembering what you have experienced. Remember your companion in the forest. Remember what you saw and heard in the cavern. Before you go to sleep tonight, ask the Earth spirits and the universe to make the meanings clear to you if need be. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

Carry or place the charm where desired.

Dark Moon

• ATHORAY, the Showering of Pleiades (25Image42 to 8Image34) ruled by AMIXIEL for curbing overindulgence

This is used to help restrain excesses in every good thing associated with the waxing mansion, in whatever form it takes.

Magical work: meditation for restricting overindulgence. Dress a purple working candle with frankincense oil: Purple for meditative work; frankincense for power, protection, and meditation. Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns for restricting overindulgence! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

Through the wisdom of the Veiled Goddess, let Amixiel in Athoray open the way to understanding how to restrict a tendency for excess in a needed area of your life. What behavior needs to be curbed? Is it eating? Drinking? Gossiping? Taking risks? Arguing? Competing? In your mind, ask what spirits and entities of nature are willing to help you curb your intemperance. Let the thought slip away into the depths of your mind as you step away from your safe place and see that you are standing in a pleasant, broad, sunlit meadow bordered on one side by a forest. You feel content and secure here, and walk toward the forest. The woods are shady and dark, with a coolness you can feel as you approach. It is very inviting to enter the shadowy forest and leave the heat of the Sun behind you. You see a narrow dirt path and you follow it into the woods, winding past trees and leafy bushes deeper into the forest. The ground is moist and covered in leaf litter and you pause now to listen carefully—what sounds do you hear? You look around through the dense clusters of trees. What do you see? Are there animals? Birds? Small creatures? Large ones?

Look and see which one looks at you, and follow the one that beckons you with a nod of the head or a glance over the shoulder. You are moving deeper into the forest now, and the trail narrows and disappears, leaving only an animal path to follow. Your guide pauses and you look down. See the tiny trails of mice and rabbits creating tunnels in the underbrush. Now look up and continue following your guide, gently moving aside the branches of shrubs and saplings as you follow your guide deeper into the woods.

You hear the bubbling of a small stream as it meanders through the forest and you know you are nearing the center of the woods. The sound of the flowing water is louder now, and you realize there must be a pond close by where the stream gathers in a deep pool. You can smell the scent of a trout as it breaks the surface of the pool to snap up a careless fly.

Your guide leads you into a tiny clearing, and you see the pool, with its mossy banks, slippery rocks, and disheveled bits of tangled fall-wood and vines giving it a gently wild appearance. Around the pool are the low-hanging branches of hazel trees, their burden of nuts drooping down, some touching the water, and you know you are in a sacred place.

Your guide drinks from the clear, glistening pool, and you know you should look into the deep waters. Moving quietly, you feel a sensation of calm as you approach the pool. Now, you are standing beside your guide, and you look into the pool. There you see a large trout swimming gracefully in the depths, and the fish fixes an eye on you. The shimmering creature swims upward, breaking the surface of the water into gentle ripples. You recognize that this is the pool guarding the gateway to Faerie, and it is the home of the wise old trout who feeds upon the hazelnuts of wisdom.

You are not surprised when the fish opens its mouth and speaks to you about how to bring an unwanted excess under control and who might be of help and offer you advice. Listen and remember the words of the wise old trout. (Pause.) The trout turns suddenly and slips beneath the waters, disappearing behind old tree limbs at the bottom of the pool. Now, you look upon the shimmering water of this Faerie pool surrounded by hazel trees. A vision comes into focus for your eyes alone to see. Look and remember what you see. (Pause.)

Your guide moves closer and nudges you and you know it is time to go back. Moving quickly along back to the familiar trail, you follow your guide back to the edge of the forest. You see before you the sunlit meadow, and then your guide turns and disappears into the silent shadows of the deep woods. You walk into the meadow and stand gazing back at the forest; remembering what you have experienced. Remember the journey you undertook. Remember your guide into the forest. Remember the message of the trout. Remember the vision you saw in the pool. Before you go to sleep tonight, ask the Earth spirits and the universe to make the meanings clear to you if need be. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

Dark Moon

• ATHORAY, the Showering of Pleiades (25Image42 to 8Image34) ruled by AMIXIEL for curbing overindulgence

Use this meditation to remove overindulgence in any area of life. The waning energy can aid with restricting the excesses that came from the waxing energy of every good thing.

Magical work: meditation to release the cause for overindulgence. Dress a purple working candle with frankincense oil: Purple for wisdom and power; frankincense for meditation and power. Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns for wisdom and power in meditation! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

With the wisdom of the Veiled Goddess and the energy of Amixiel in Athoray, consider those areas in your life where there is overindulgence. Do you eat too much? Drink too much? Spend too much? Engage in self-pity too much? Give up your time too much? What is it that you overindulge in? What prompts you into doing more than you should in this area of your life? While in your safe place, focus on each of your chakras to reveal the source of your excesses. At the root chakra at the base of the spine, what are the buried fears and insecurity? At the abdominal chakra, what causes fear? At the belly chakra, what causes the insatiable need for consumption? At the heart chakra, what are the causes of worry and emotional distress? At the throat chakra, what are the careless words that injure the self-image? At the third-eye chakra, what beneficial inner voice has been suppressed? At the crown chakra at the top of the head, what has caused the loving light of cosmic energy to be blocked?

You examine these issues, and now you gather together the negativity that activates your indulgence and excesses. You see an open dark blue velvet bag with a silver cord drawstring, and you know what to do. The energies you gathered are like a gauzy mist, like lint from a clothes dryer trap, and you peel the energies of excess from you, rolling them up on themselves until all are removed from you. You stuff the roll of negative energies and unhealthy habits into the bag, and close it by pulling the drawstring tight. Wrap the silver cord around the top of the bag and knot it. Now, you have to dispose of the bag.

Looking outward from your place, you see the vast expanse of the deep night sky, sprinkled with stars. So deep is the night, it is like black velvet. You see the Milky Way, filled with the sparkling stars, spiraling thru the darkness, and you realize that this reminds you of a glittering white road. You look down and see the bright lights at your feet, and you know that the white road begins at the entrance of your safe place. Looking up again, you see in the distance a waterfall of starlight coming from seven stars, and you know they are the Pleiades. From your safe place, you can see there is someone behind the cascading starlight and you understand that you may step onto the starry road to be whisked away to the waterfall. Take that step onto the starry road, and walk with swift steps that sweep you to the Pleiades and that starry cataract. You know you are safe, you have your bag of negative energies secure in your hand, and now you stand before the cascading starlight.

Behind the flowing light you see a large, glowing, friendly figure, and you know this is Amixiel in Athoray. He is crowned by nine stars: Algol for protection and victory, the Pleiades for secrets and talking to entities, and Aldebaran for good fortune. With the stars around his head and his smiling countenance, you are reminded that there are times for excess and times for control, and understanding this now, you hold out to him the bag you have carried. Amixiel opens his hands to receive it and you must pass the bag through the starlight cascade to him. You comprehend the significance of this action, for the stars cleanse away the negativity as you happily pass the burdensome bag through the showering light and into the hands of Amixiel. He sets the bag behind him, and you see now that there are many other bags there, all good in their proper time and place, but put aside until appropriate.

The light of the cascade becomes dazzling and brilliant, and you feel a rush of exhilaration as the light washes over you, cleansing you and releasing you from your burden. You take a step back, and with a smile, you bow slightly to Amixiel. He nods to you, and you feel yourself move swiftly back along the white road as the cascading starlight retreats far away from you. Take a quick look at the universe around you as you travel back, back, to the entrance of your safe place. The starry road is fading, and you take a voluntary step off the road and back into your safe place. The starry road vanishes now, and only the night sky is visible before you. Take a deep breath and draw into yourself the strength and power of the earth, blending it with the cosmic light within you, to bring your destiny into reality. Release the breath, and know that you are now able to bring your goals into manifestation without the burden of overindulgence. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

Consider how this relates to the background of the matter. Pull out a third rune: This is what will unblock the hindrance. Consider how to overcome the obstacle or redefine what is really desired. While a solution may not be given, understanding the possible source of the interference may be enough to determine how to handle the situation. Meditate on the runes, or draw one more for further guidance. Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains. If still uncertain, at bedtime, ask the universe for clarification. An answer should come through lucid dreaming within a few days, or by sudden insight upon awakening.

• ALARZACH, the Arm of Gemini (17Image8 to 0Image0) ruled by SELHIEL for the destruction of high offices, and the cooperation of flies

Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns for nature and the insect creatures of the earth! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

With the wisdom of the Veiled Goddess and the energy of Selhiel in Alarzach, consider the reason for insects in the world. From your safe place, you hear the distant drone of a variety of insects. You step out of your safe place and into a meadow in full bloom. Now the sound of insects is louder and you listen to the buzzing of bees, the noise of flies, mosquitoes, and other insects. Consider that each creature of nature has an ancestor that can be called the Grandfather or Grandmother of the species. Perhaps the Grandfather of the flies can tell you if flies are only an annoyance or do they serve a purpose in the cycle of life on earth?

As you consider this question, Selhiel in Alarzach sends Grandfather Fly to speak with you. Ask Grandfather Fly for the Truth about his family and listen to what he says. Does he tell you his people provide food for other animals, such as birds and frogs? Does he tell you his people help to decompose matter to return to the Earth? After you hear what he has to say, tell him that you understand and respect the place of flies in the cycles of the Earth, but that you would greatly appreciate it if he will ask his family to keep away from you in this life. Give Grandfather Fly your blessing that he may depart in peace. When you find flies are an annoyance, simply tell the flies that you have an agreement with Grandfather Fly that they should depart in peace.

Selhiel in Alarzach nods and Grandfather Fly departs. As you listen, the meadow becomes quieter, with only the distant buzzing of bees gathering nectar from the flowers. Now even that sound fades away, and you return to your safe place. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns for truth and cleansing!

(Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

With the wisdom of the Veiled Goddess and the energy of Amnediel in Alnaza, consider those times in your life when it was within your power to mistreat another person. Was there someone who was under your control? Perhaps it was someone over whom you exercised authority; who was required to do as you commanded; who was a child, a student, a coworker, a subordinate, an employee, a person relying on your generosity. Did you take advantage of your position of power in that situation? If so, now consider what motivated you to do this. Look back through time and in your memories; was there an incident where you felt you had been mistreated? Were you hurt? Frightened? Resentful? Angry? How long have you carried this pain within you, allowing it to smolder and fester? How often have you been hurtful to others when the opportunity arose?

In this time, the energy of Amnediel in Alnaza is strongest to provoke harm to another, but if you understand from where that desire arises within you, it can be conquered. Heal your own hurt and turn it into compassion. Being in a position to inflict harm on another leaves open the choice of whether or not you take that action or conquer that baneful desire.

In your safe place, there is no recrimination, only understanding. Just outside of your safe place you see a white light beginning to manifest. The light is growing, getting larger and brighter. You feel drawn to this light, and you know there is nothing harmful in this light. You move out of your safe place, drawn by the loving energy of the cosmic white light, and you know that this light is filled with healing energy. You look into your own past and see the sad person you once were when you were afflicted, and you gently caress your past self with a feeling of sympathy. But now the white light calls you back to deal with who you became from who you once were. You smile and turn to look into the light. The energy is pulsating and powerful, and you know that now that you understand your past, you can create your future. The light is streaming before you now as a cascade. You sense that if you enter into the cascade, the pain of the past will be washed away, and you will be cleansed, able to face the future with confidence and compassion.

You enter into the white light, and it feels like a shower of energy flowing around you. Washing yourself in the light, you see your past anger and self-recriminations burned away. You see your past hurts soothed and healed, and you know that you are loved by the Divine. A voice enters your mind: I am Amnediel in Alnaza, and I give you choice, for in another Moon, I am the energy of love and compassion. Release into me your pain, and I will take this from you so that you are cleansed by the starlight of Sirius and Procyon with communication, peace, and magical power. Cleanse yourself in this light.

You wash the light over yourself, from head to foot, and you step out of the cascade, feeling a sense of self-forgiveness and a desire to make right was set wrong so long ago. You resolve to be a better person, and release the petty one within you who once demanded pain from others to compensate for your own past pain. With this understanding, the light immediately collapses in on itself and vanishes. You are at peace with your past and yourself. There is no need to inflict harm on others, for you now feel compassion for their situation. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

Dark Moon

• ALZARPHA, the Tail of the Lion (21Image25 to 4Image17) ruled by ABDIZUEL for hindering sailing, loss of investment, and separation

This meditation uses the separation energy to assess which is functional and reveal what is not so you may release the useless much as winnowing separates the wheat from the chaff.

Magical work: meditation to separate from the functional that which is worthless and release it. Dress a violet working candle with lavender oil: Violet for self-improvement; lavender for cleansing and balance. In the wax, carve around it: Image Och for wisdom; Image Phul for transformation; Image Saturn for realistic assessment and removing restrictions; Image Pluto for transformation and evolution; Image and Cor Leonis, the Heart of the Lion for strength and courage to accomplish what needs to be done. Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns to reveal and release what is useless in my life! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

Through the guidance of the Veiled Goddess, let Abdizuel in Alzarpha reveal to me what has no value in my life and how to let it go for personal change and evolution. You are comfortable in your safe place, and this is a good time to look at your surroundings. Are there objects in your haven? Look and see how you have decorated your safe place to make it a refuge. Is there something you want to add? If there is, then now is the time to form in your thoughts what you desire to add, and let it materialize in your safe place. Is there something you want to remove? If there is, simply look at it and will it away. It is gone. If you change your mind, you can always bring it back simply by visualizing it.

Sit comfortably in your safe place, perhaps on a large, soft cushion, or a chair, or any other object that is appropriate for you. Look at the colors and feel the textures of your comfortable place. The sunlight brightens your haven, and there is a gentle, cool breeze drifting through. You think about the fresh energy of early autumn and the cleansing influence coming into your sanctuary. Now consider, is there some influence or thing in your life that has become useless to you? Has it become burdensome? Are you tying yourself to routines and practices that offer no fulfillment or purpose to you? Have you let yourself become attached to things that only serve to drain your energy?

A fluffy white cloud slowly passes and obscures the sunlight in your retreat. Take this time of shadow to release into it that which you have discovered is useless in your life. The shadow starts to lighten as the cloud continues to move across the Sun. Do you feel regret? A pang of worry that you are letting go of something familiar? A touch of fear of change? The spring breeze plays upon your face and gently reminds you that holding on to that which is useless because it is familiar is a choice that you make, just as separating it out and letting it go is a choice only you can make.

As the cool breeze refreshes and encourages you, it also moves the cloud further across the Sun, and more light is returning to your haven. Now is the time to decide. Do you release what is useless? If so, see it separate from you and enter into the shadow of your sanctuary. See the Sun returning, shining brightly, and see the shadow retreating, shrinking, and finally vanquishing as the light fills your sanctuary. New energy inspires you for a new beginning in which you embrace change and growth. The sunlight washes away your fears or indecision. You have cast away the chaff to retain the wheat, and having made your choice, you take a deep breath, drawing into yourself the strength and power of the Sun and the energy of change. Release the breath as a sigh of relief, and know that you are able to release what is worthless so there may be change and growth in your life. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

• ALZARPHA, the Tail of the Lion (21Image25 to 4Image17) ruled by ABDIZUEL for hindering sailing, loss of investment, and separation

Through the wisdom of the Veiled Goddess, and with the energy of Virgo, the way is opened to understanding separation and accepting the changes brought by Abdizuel in Alzarpha. In your safe place you may be yourself without any restrictions imposed by others. Here you may look into your heart, mind, and spirit and see if separations bring you pain or relief; anxiety or peace of mind; fear or new hope.

You hear the splashing sound of a fountain outside your haven, and you step out to see a beautiful fountain with crystalline waters cascading into a deep cool pool. See the fountain and hear the waters. Smell the cleansing waters and feel the gentle spray drifting to you on a soothing breeze. You watch the sparkling waters, listening to the musical sound of the flow. Now, you sit by the fountain and look into the waters, letting your hand dabble in the cool refreshing liquid. Consider now the flow of the waters and the flow of life. As much as the water changes, it is still part of the whole. This is also true of life. As much as there are changes, separations, and transitions, this is all part of the whole. The water moves on, and so does life. The water fills the space that contains it, yet it flows with ease and brings contentment and peace of mind. Now is the time to consider your feelings, for coming to terms with changes, and for releasing your anxieties, fears, and pain. Take a deep breath and draw into yourself the strength and power of the cool waters. Release the breath as a sigh, letting the waters soothe and cleanse you emotionally, physically, and mentally. You know that you are strong and able to cope with separations, changes, and transitions, for these are but moments in the wholeness of life. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.)

You see a mirror outside your secure space, and you walk out to look into it and see it is filled with swirling clouds. What colors are the clouds? What do these colors mean to you? Now, you see that some of the clouds are taking on shapes. These are the shapes of what you seek to preserve in a time of risk and diminishing energies. What shapes do you see? You continue to look at the shapes and begin to understand that these are not solid, but are illusions of the things you seek to maintain and the things you feel might threaten them. Now, you notice an incense burner is nearby as the aromatic smoke drifts to you. You pick up the incense burner and take it to the mirror. You blow the smoke gently across the mirror and all the clouds turn white and glistening. You gently waft the incense around the mirror and you see the threatening clouds disperse, leaving only the clouds shaped like the things you want to preserve and protect. You smile and set the incense burner down in front of the mirror. You know that the status quo will be maintained until you choose to change it. Now, you turn and return to your secure place. Sitting in your space, you are at peace, knowing that you have the power to make changes in your current condition when you feel ready do to so. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.)

Through the wisdom of the Veiled Goddess, let Ergediel in Azimeth help destroy the desires that impede my diet, be it for weight reduction, health restrictions, binging, difficulty in rejecting foods or drinks offered, or any other behavior where unhealthy or harmful foods or beverages are consumed.

From your safe place, you hear the sounds of glasses tinkling, plates being moved around, and utensils clinking, and you smell aromas that tantalize you. Step from your haven and all becomes calm and quiet again as you see that outside a buffet is set up. Many foods and beverages are laid out on the buffet. Some of these you believe you like to eat, and others are of little interest to you. Consider now what foods and beverages you need to avoid for a healthy life. Are these on the buffet? You look at the spread and see them. Consider now what foods and beverages you have been advised to consume. Are these on the buffet? You look at the spread and see them as well.

There is a chair in front of the buffet and you sit on it. There is a small table in front of the chair, and each item of the buffet is presented to you. You may only look at the food or beverages being presented to you, but you may not touch, eat, or drink any, for this is the Goblin Market where all is poisonous enchantment. Carefully look at each person presenting an item to you. Each is a goblin, wearing the face and appearance of someone you know. Does the image represent a person who cares about you? Or is this someone who resents you? Is the image of a person grinning with bad intentions or smiling with loving care? The food or beverage being shown to you may be something you are to avoid consuming or something that you should be consuming. Each goblin in the guise of someone you know presents the item and gives you a message. You might not like what the person has to say, but you listen to the messages of each: Here is something to eat that will make me look better than you! Here is something to drink that will give me the chance to belittle you! Here is something that will make you sick! Here is something that will make you hate yourself! Here is something that will let me mock you! Here is something that will humiliate you! Here is something to eat that will help you to live longer and healthier. Here is something to drink that will make you strong. Here is something that will help you maintain your composure. Here is something that will prevent stress.

Hear the messages that go with the foods and beverages presented. The people vanish, but the buffet remains. On the little table in front of you appears a large crystal point. You take the point and go to the buffet. Looking at all the items, you point to each as you walk past the array. Those that are unhealthy for you vanish. Those that are healthy remain. You look at the foods and beverages that remain, and see them shining and bright. Remember the items that were unhealthy and the message of the goblins who presented them to you. Sweep the crystal point down the length of your body and feel yourself cleansed of any desire for those foods and beverages. Remember the healthy items from the buffet and the message of those who presented them to you. Sweep the crystal point up the length of your body and feel only the desire for these healthy foods and beverages. Now that you know what to eat and drink, you turn away from foods of the Goblin Market. The buffet vanishes, but the crystal point remains in your hands as you return to your safe place. Sitting in your haven, you remember the power of the crystal point. The crystal shines brightly in your hands, radiating compassion and caring. Take a deep breath and draw the crystal into yourself. Release the breath, and know that the shining crystal resides within you to remind you of the healthy choices for food and beverages. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

Light a taper from the working candle and use it to light the spell candle: This candle lights the way into the past to show what holds me captive in this life! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

Sit comfortably before the mirror and gaze through the flickering candle flame at your reflection. Focus on discovering what issue from a past life holds you captive and threatens you with ruination in this life. This issue could be manifesting as an inability, pain, discomfort, allergy, bad habit, difficult work or relationships, and so on. Ask the Veiled Goddess if the current situation is a dark reflection of a past problem. Ask her to shine her torches upon the matter so a solution may be found.

The image in the mirror may be changing now. Ask the mirror to show you the matter from your past life that holds you captive and in threat of ruination in this current life. See the mirror as a dark pool, black as ink and deep as a well. Gaze into this dark pool, for it is still a black mirror and reflects the images from other worlds and other times. Look into the water and see the issue from a past life that is manifesting negatively in this one. Remember what you see.

Ask now what it is that you need to understand or do to release this matter so that you are no longer held captive in this life and threatened with a downfall. Look again into the water and see the solution rise to the surface. What do you see? Do you need simply to understand the past experience? Is it a matter of releasing an anger or resentment that has haunted you with restricting energy? Is there a need to forgive? Let the answer enter into your subconscious mind. Remember what you have seen, and know that as you gaze into the black mirror, you see an image from a past-life and now understand how to heal an injury or issue that has intruded into this life.

The pool returns to being a black mirror. Remember the problem you discovered in your past life. Remember the solution that frees you from the captivity of that past life difficulty. Take a deep breath and see your own face in the mirror. Release the breath and release the pain from the past. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.)

Snuff the grey candle: Through the Goddess and the God, through the Moon and the Sun, through the Elementals, planets, and star; this meditation reveals the past so that the ruination energy of Anuciel in Axaulah no longer holds me captive nor threatens me with ruination! Cover the black mirror, snuff the working candle, and dispose of the remains. Sometimes just knowing what happened in a past life is sufficient to release the hold it has on this life. You may gain a new perspective or understanding for your current situation and to work from this to restore balance.

In your heart, let your friendships, stability, and the abundance of the Earth be reaffirmed. Remember to honor friendship and be attuned with the cycle of life. Remember to honor partners and companions so that comfort and harmony come into all relationships. Now is the time to honor the companions of life, to mend broken friendships, and to humbly accept the gift of nurturing life meekly given by that which becomes sustenance. As this candle burns, so is the energy of Kyhiel in Abnahaya diminished and restricted so that only nurturing love, peace, and respect abide in this Dark Season. Through the guidance of the Veiled Goddess there is peace. The light of wisdom touches the heart, vision, and understanding of all. Through the power of the Goddess and the God is protection granted. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Let the candle burn down completely, then bury the candle remains.

• ZABADOLA, Swallowing (12Image51 to 25Image42) ruled by ZEQUIEL for destruction, laying waste, divorce

Use this divination to reveal the hidden threats to security in material, financial, or emotional areas, and possible actions to ward against the destructive energy.

Magical work: rune divination on hidden threats to security in any area. Dress a purple working candle with frankincense oil: Purple for power, wisdom, insight, and protection; frankincense for power, protection, cleansing, and opening psychic awareness. In the wax, carve around it: Image Vega to avert fears; Image Mercury for communication; Image Saturn for the preservation of material and personal matters; and Image Venus for compassion, love, and sociability. Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns for revealing what threatens my security in any area! Charge a bag of runes and set it on top of the pentacle. Focus on a personal matter where energy seems blocked: May the torchlight of the Veiled Goddess reveal where security is threatened by the destructive energy of Zequiel in Zabadola and how I might contravene this threat! Shake the bag and pull out one rune: This is what threatens my security! Pull out a second rune: This is a course of action to take! Pull out a third rune: This is the likely outcome of taking this action! Examine the symbols and interpret the runes as relating to threats of destruction in any matter of security. There may not be any actual threat, in which case awareness of the negative mansion energy is sufficient to rebuff it. But if there is a threat, the runes may indicate in what area of security there is a weakness, such as in structures, in relationships, in work, and the like. Understanding what might be an underlying concern in an area relating to security may be enough to determine how to handle the situation. Consider how to overcome this or work around it to regain a sense of security by meditating on the runes or drawing another for guidance. Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains. If still uncertain, at bedtime, ask the universe for clarification. An answer should come through lucid dreaming within a few days, or by sudden insight upon awakening.

Dark Moon

• SADABATH, the Star of Fortune (25Image42 to 8Image34) ruled by ABRINIEL for gaining power over enemies, and hindering governance or rule

The hindrance energy can apply to various types of governance or rule such as to those who run corporate offices, schools, classrooms, local, county, state, or national agencies or commissions, or any type of organization, as well as to personal sovereignty, being able to retain your independence and lead a satisfying life. This meditation aids with identifying the source of such hindrances and how to overcome this opposition.

Magical work: meditation for overcoming hindrances to governance or rule. Dress a purple working candle with frankincense oil: Purple for spirituality; frankincense for protection and psychic energy. Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns for discovering the source of hindrance to governance or rule! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

Through the wisdom of the Veiled Goddess, let Abriniel in Sadabath open the way to understanding how to overcome opposition. From your safe place you see a bright star in the sky. This is the Star of Fortune, but there are dark clouds drawing near to cover it. You wonder to yourself how the star will overcome the clouds. Now a shining but stern-looking figure appears outside your safe place. You look at the person and know that this is Abriniel, the ruler who dwells in the mansion of Sadabath, and the Star of Fortune is his abode. Abriniel beckons to you and you leave your safe place, for you sense that although the mansion has both positive and negative aspects, the ruler is kindly disposed to you. You take hold of the offered hand, and in an instant you are transported beyond the clouds, and into the brightly lit mansion of Abriniel.

You feel that the powerful energy of Abriniel in Sadabath, and know this is a safe place. The ruler is willing to show you that even the energies of his mansion that offer hindrance may be turned aside by the worthy and deserving. Abriniel motions you to a beautiful table in the center of the great hall, and on it you see a large, round mirror in a decorative frame. At the behest of this ruler, you focus on an area in your life which you govern and where you feel there is hindrance from others creating a blockage. You gaze into the mirror and see swirling dark clouds flit across the mirror. You realize that these dark clouds represent the forces that oppose you, that seek to hinder you in those areas in which you rule. As you look at the clouds, they begin to take form. Is there a face or a figure? Is this someone you know? Or is there a symbol or design indicating some other message? Remember what you see in the mirror.

Now, you look up from the mirror and see the bright room, feel the invigorating and protective energy of the mansion, and realize that clouds may be swept aside with a gentle breeze. With a smile, you look back at the mirror and the swirling dark clouds. You know what to do. You hold your hand out to the mirror and blow across your palm. You become the breeze, and the clouds part and scatter. Will you use gentle speech to turn aside the opposition? Or will you see through the opposition? You know that the power of thought is strong, and that when you see the opposition as a passing cloud, it will melt away.

You gaze into the mirror again, and the way is clear for you. The power of Abriniel in Sadabath surrounds you, and you understand now how to deal with opposition. Remember the mirror. Remember what you saw and felt about those who hinder you. Abriniel touches your shoulder and in an instant, you are back in front of your safe haven. Enter your safe place and take a deep breath and draw into yourself the strength and power of the Star of Fortune. Remember all that you have discovered on your journey. Release the breath, knowing that you are able to overcome opposition and retain your individuality. (Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

Dark Moon

• SADALAHBIA, a Butterfly (8Image34 to 21Image25) ruled by AZIEL for divorce, revenge, besieging, and binding someone against their duty

There are times when a person feels a need for revenge over some wrong, but this is a negative energy that can diminish the light of one’s spirit. Use this meditation to release your need for revenge, so that the matter which caused this emotion can be addressed with a calmer heart and mind.

Dress a black working candle with frankincense oil: Black for protection and warding negativity; frankincense for protection, power, and meditation. Light the working candle from the center altar candle: This flame burns to release vengeful energy! (Go to MEDITATION BEGINNING.)

Let the torchlight of the Veiled Goddess show the way to release from your life the energy of Aziel in Sadalahbia for revenge. You step out from your safe place into an open meadow in the bright sunlight. In the distance you see a dark forest, and you walk toward it. Just within the shadow at the edge of the forest your guide is awaits you. Together you enter into the cool woods, walking along a familiar trail. This time you are shown a new path and turn aside to follow it. The sounds of the forest are cheerful, but you realize that you have not heard water flowing as has been usual. You wonder why the little stream is so quiet, but then you enter a small clearing where you see that the mouth of the stream is closed by a jumble of stones.

Your guide tells you that water represents the emotions, and that the stones impede the healthy flow of water that keeps the forest alive, just as feelings of anger and revenge block the flow of the positive emotions that keep the body and mind healthy. You look at the stones and see there are words carved into them. What are these words? You sigh, and you know what to do. With determination, you start to remove the stones that block the stream, one by one, and you discover that most are easy to move, but some are heavier than others. The heavier stones are the strongest burdens that anchor you in negative energy. Your guide touches your shoulder and you feel new energy and strength flow into your muscles, and you realize that with the aid of love, the heaviest stones move easily. As you remove the stones, you know that you are removing the anger that had bottled up your emotions, just as the stones bottled up the stream. The stream begins to trickle through where the stones are being removed and set aside to be covered by the power of nature. You remove more stones, and finally the stream flows unhindered and animals venture from the woods to come drink at the waters. Like them, you feel refreshed and relieved that your emotional drought is over. Now, your guide beckons you to return to the meadow, and together you leave the woods. At the edge of the meadow, your guide bids you farewell, and you return into your safe place. Remember the words on the rocks. Remember the aid of love in relieving you of the burdens. Remember the refreshment of casting aside the rocks and letting nature cover them once more.

Take a deep breath and draw into yourself the power to release anger and revenge. Release the breath and feel the need for revenge evaporate.

(Go to MEDITATION ENDING.) Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains.

If the tarot has indicated that no one is directing mischief to you, then deal or select one card: Why do I feel a sense of unease? If the answer seems unclear, deal or select another card and read these two together for more information. While a solution may not seem apparent, there may be information on what motivates an adversary, which can be used in dealing with the situation. Snuff the candle and dispose of the remains. If still uncertain, at bedtime, ask the universe for clarification. An answer should come through lucid dreaming within a few days, or by sudden insight upon awakening.
