Rose Ariadne's Chitchcraft Blog

One of the purposes of my Friday Evening Rant is to open up to all of you, and it’s really one of the main reasons I decided to do it.

I’ve been a bit “reflective” today, and have been thinking about the journey I took with my Grandma. I’d like to put this little part of my heart up here for all to see. She was the most loving, and caring person I have ever known – but she was also a mysterious woman – we all thought so.

It wasn’t just that she would never take any kind of modern medicine – and that she always had herbs, stones, and old amulets that she would use is strange ways to treat illness, and who knows what else… I often saw her sitting alone with her eyes closed in quiet contemplation, murmuring under her breath words that I couldn’t hear (or couldn’t understand). And it was the way she looked at me almost every day. She’d cast her Knowing gaze upon me, as if we were both aware of some big secret nobody else knew about.

I really didn’t understand them at first, but it all became clear later… You see, I was her favorite. There was some sort of connection between us that nobody else could really see. But I could. I could even FEEL it. She’d always give me just a little more attention than the others.

She loved all 8 of her grandchildren, don’t get me wrong – but she always made a point to spend extra time with me. We would always talk about different things. About feelings, and emotions, and what makes a person sad and happy. And every night before I drifted off to sleep, she would sing these amazing songs – and I couldn’t believe how happy and comforting they made me feel… Tales of long ago – of hero’s, and mystical creatures, and great adventures. Then, when the songs were done for the night – she would ask me to think of a dream I’d like to have – and then tell her… And then, she’d cup her hand and gently press her fingers and thumb to my forehead and then quickly draw her hand away – she’d say, “Now your dream will be…”. And then I’d drift off to sleep…

Oops, I have to run (I am on vacation) - so I’ll have to finish this story next week. I really hoped to finish it tonight, and I am so sorry to keep you waiting…I’ll send you an email next week when I have made my next blog entry to finish telling you all about my grandmother and I. If you haven’t signed up for these newsletter notifications, make sure to fill out the short form on the right hand side of your screen.

Until next week, blessings of Peace and Love!

Dear Friends,

This weeks interview is based on a question I received from a woman who feels that nobody finds her attractive – and she couldn’t get a date… and she was asking if Magick could possibly make her “more attractive”.

Whether you have ever felt that way or not (and most of us have felt “less than beautiful” at one point in our lives) it is important to realize that there are many people suffering from this kind of negative energy…

You see, the part of our world that is most visible (shows on television, movies, magazines, tabloids, etc) is extremely materialistic and vain.  With supermodels, Hollywood romances (and breakups), and reality TV which is focused on looks in most cases – it’s no wonder that some of us do not feel “good looking” enough to measure up…

Can Magick REALLY help?

Of course it can!  And in ways you never dreamed.  First, I’d like to discuss the problem – and the solution in a non-Magickal way.

Sometimes with all of the glamour of modern day life, we forget how special we really are.  How unique – and beautiful (and yes, guys, handsome) – we are.  But with all of these messages pounding down on us every day, with images of beauty and glamour (and plastic surgery) – our confidence in the way we look can suffer.  In fact, our confidence in everything we do, can suffer.

The specific person in question – who submitted the question to me – also had another problem.  It appears she was being harassed – and even ridiculed by some of her male coworkers.  So not only was she dealing with the negative energy coming in from the TV shows and magazines – but there were specific people strengthening this negativity – adding a little of their own to make darn sure that her confidence was swept away once and for all!

It broke my heart to hear this, and that’s when I realized something…

It’s easy to let their words manifest themselves into negative energy – and allow it to effect the view we have of ourselves.  But there is an alternative…

DO NOT give the TV, magazines, and people criticizing you any power!  It’s a choice (though not an easy one) we all have.  If you allow the negativity to grow inside of you, you are giving power to those sending that energy to you.

And this, my friends, is the root of the problem.  The non-Magickal solution, of course, is to let these things “bounce off” of you.  Just don’t let them in… ignore them.

This takes some mental strength, and can be a little tough – which is why Magick can help you in so many ways!  Even if you have a positive self-image already, you can build even more confidence – more belief in yourself (and your looks).

There are some very powerful protection spells, “stop slander” spells, and even special love spells that can create wonder, confidence, and absolute miracles for you in my Home Academy… but there is another kind of spell that can help you – and I am going to reveal it to you right now…

Confidence Magick!

There isn’t one thing in life (that I have seen) which Magick can’t fix.  In this case, why not “attack” the root of the problem?  Your confidence… your belief in yourself!

Here is a simple (and harmless) confidence spell you can do that will instantly flood your heart with the knowledge that you are special, and beautiful… and you will truly believe that no outside forces will ever change that.

”Rose Ariadne’s Original, Confident Beauty Spell”

Here is the spell, and it works best when done in the light of a full moon…
1. You’ll need a small hand mirror, the items you normally have on your altar, an extra handle of your favorite color (representing yourself), and a small charm or figurine that you find beautiful (it represents your attractiveness and beauty, both inside and out).

2. Create your sacred spaces, cleanse your area, cast your circle, and all of the other things laid out for you in the Mystical World Of Ancient Witchcraft.

3. Light your deity candles, and as you sit in the light of the candles (and the full moon) begin by looking at yourself in the mirror.  As you are gazing at yourself, focus on all of the positive features you have… don’t let ANY negative thoughts enter your mind.  Look at your skin, your nose, your mouth, your eyes…acknowledge each part of your face and recognize how unique and special each part is.  You came from the earth, you know, and the earth is truly beautiful – how could you be any less?

4. Now, as you continue looking into the mirror, say:

“I recognize myself, Rose Ariadne (or whatever your name is), as being a unique and beautiful person from the tips of my toes to the top of my head – and everywhere inside.”

5. Hold the mirror in your left had, as you light YOUR candle.  Place the charm next to the candle, at it’s base.

6. Tilt the mirror so that you can see your candle, and the charm in it’s reflection.  Now say :

“This candle represents me, Rose Ariadne (or whatever your name is).  And this charm is my beauty on inside and out, that nobody lays claim to but me.  For I am unique and special.  As I see both of them in this mirror of light, so they are both a part of me.  Myself, forever together with my beauty.  No words will change it, no thought disband it.  And so it is.  So mote it be!”

7. Blow out your candles, open your circle, and put things away… all the while think about the spell you just cast, and the feeling of confidence that has welled up inside of you.  Focus on that feeling, remember how it feels, and make a promise to yourself not to let it go… but if you ever falter, and negativity takes hold in you again – this ritual will always be there for you to instantly rebuild your confidence…

May you always feel (and know) that you are beautiful!

I will be taking a much needed vacation this week – exploring our great Earth and the wonders it hides… I’ll be gone for 9 days, but will find some time to do next Friday’s rant. 

I’ll have another Q&A With Rose Ariadne newsletter for you in the week following.  But for now, I need to “recharge” in the caring hands of Mother Earth.

I just wanted to let you know that there won’t be a full newsletter for another 11 days or so…

Until then…

Love And Light,

Rose Ariadne

Click here to listen to the interview on a special page! (without having to download it)

Dear Friends,

The truth is, most people who turn to a Witchcraft path towards the middle of their lives – do so because of some kind of pain or trouble in their lives.

Most choose the Magick path because of the possibilities for healing, and “miracle bringing”. ;)  And many are able to completely turn things around, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to add an extra “push” to those who need it by offering my life’s work to the world at http://www.masteringmagickwitchcraft.com/.

I am convinced, after years of living, that the most painful thing in this entire world – is that of a broken heart.  Whether you’ve lost a loved one, or had your heart stepped on by a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife – the effects of the pain associated with a broken heart are crippling…

Ash (my computer genius) interviewed me a few months ago, and the topic of using Magick to heal a broken heart came up.  I’ve included the clip for you, and wanted to write this newsletter on the same topic to talk about some of my thoughts on the matter.

The first thing I tell ANYONE who is suffering from a broken heart (and it really is suffering) –i s that the sadness is universal, shared by people in every race, culture, and religious background.

You are not alone.

And you can take some comfort when crying yourself to sleep at night – from the fact that there are others just like you… feeling the pain right now.

This feeling of a shared pain with others can give at least a small amount of peace and tranquility.  But there is still pain to be dealt with.

And that’s where Magick can help.

As I discuss in the interview, the main use Magick has in a situation like this is to help remove the “connection” that exists between you and this other person.  Don’t get me wrong…

I’m not talking about completely severing any and all ties between you and someone you care about.  I’m talking about using Magick to cut away only the connections that cause you the most pain.

You see, there is a “connection” between you and every other person that crosses your path.  It could only be a shared smile between two strangers… but that moment is frozen in time.  The glance, the smile, the friendly hello…

The connection will always be there because the “meeting” of that person – if only for that brief moment, can have a profound impact on your life, and your future fate.

Magick energy is a web of intertwined destinies and events present and past – to try to “understand” it is fruitless, but learning to control it is the key.

And you can focus your Magick energy to sever connections of pain and heart ache.

I’m going to show you a simple spell that can help to end your bleeding heart – but remember, it is important to deal with pain as it makes us stronger… but this spell will help us get to that point.

Even if you aren’t currently suffering a broken heart, maybe you can pass this on to somebody who is… and maybe…. just maybe, there is still some pain inside of you from a broken heart you suffered long ago.  It’s funny how we can push some of the pain back down inside of us, because subconsciously we don’t want to go through the sadness of dealing with it.

So, on with the spell…

We’ll call this one “Rose’s Apple Heart Ache Cleansing”.

STEP 1:  Gather a “diced” apple, honey, and cayenne pepper, along with the things you’d normally have on your altar. 

STEP 2:  Check your Internal and External sacred spaces – and cast your circle by following the DVD’s in the Home Academy or The Mystical World Of Ancient Witchcraft.  (including calling quarters or anything else you wish to invite to this ritual for help) As you are doing this, acknowledge (and think about) the pain you are feeling – but do it from a place of “calm” inside of you.  Think about how the pain is temporary… and how time will heal this wound, no matter how hard it is to believe.

STEP 3:  Light your deity candles, and light a protection based incense (if you have one)

STEP 4:  Lay the diced apple on a plate, on your alter, and cover the pieces with honey, and cayenne pepper.  As you are doing this, visualize that the honey is the “love” connection that you have with the person you are hurting over.  As you sprinkle the cayenne pepper, visualize this as the pain that you are feeling.  Almost “see” the pain coming out from your heart and into the cayenne pepper.

STEP 5:  Check your belief… make sure that in your heart, you believe that you have released your pain into the cayenne pepper – and that, above all, you believe that this spell will release some pain from your heart.

STEP 6:  If you are using incense, visualize the pain and heartache dispersing into the air through the smoke of the incense. 

STEP 7:  When you feel a calmness about you – and are confident you have released some of the bad energies filling your heart, thank your deities, snuff out the candles and open your circle.   Take the diced apples with honey and cayenne pepper and bury them in a hole in the ground away from your home…

When done properly, this spell is extremely effective in helping to “get over” a broken heart.  It’s really the first step in “moving on” and finding Love that is “right” for you.

Repeat this little spell at least once or twice a week at first (or more if you are still having a hard time).  The reason for the repetition is that your “mind” will re-fill your heart with more sadness, and you must continually release the pain…

Matters of the heart are very delicate, and I’d appreciate it if you’d print this newsletter and put it somewhere you can find it – if you ever need it.

I’ll be sending you another newsletter (and interview, if Ash finished the clip in time) this week, and have a blessed day!

Love And Light,

Rose Ariadne
