FOR ALL THINGS WAX AND WANING

POLTERGEIST OF WASHAGO

My favorite family ghost story (tragic but cool) was the one where my grandmother rented rooms in a big house in Washago Ontario. She once rented to a small family that had a teen daughter the same age as my aunt. My mom was a little girl when it all happened but she tells it as she best remembers.    

She said that the father was a heavy alcoholic and would often drive drunk around town with his wife and daughter in the car. Apparently the father considered himself a thrill-seeker and was constantly involved in foolhardy acts while driving with his family.

When you walked in the front door of my grandmothers house there was a long hallway leading back to where the kitchen was. The story goes that my aunt came home from school one day and when she walked down the hallway, a light knocking could be heard in the walls following her to the kitchen.  My grandmother thought maybe there were critters about but when my aunt got to the kitchen, the noise would stop.  

This went on for weeks when my aunt would get home from school. And every day it would get louder. One day the knocking was so terribly loud and when my aunt got to the kitchen, all hell broke loose! Full blown poltergeist activity started happening! Dishes flying out of the cupboard, things crashing down off the counter, chairs and tables flying everywhere as if a tornado had touched down solely in the kitchen.  

My grandmother and aunt were huddled in the corner terrified for their lives when all of a sudden, it all stopped. Things that were suspended in mid air then came falling down just like in the movies. My grandmother stated that she was surprised the clock was still on the wall and her shocked brain somehow managed to note the time. 

Later that evening, police officers came to the door to inform my grandmother that the family renting from her had driven onto the railroad tracks. Their vehicle was struck head on by a train and the daughter had been catapulted from the back seat through the front windshield and decapitated.   

They assumed the time of death had been the same time my grandmother had looked at the clock when all the commotion had ceased. For years, they all thought this was an incredible story of a spirit trying to warn of disaster coming.  

TIPS FOR READERS

Between Earth and The Spirit World is an overlapping realm called ‘The Astral Space’. Spirits will use this space to bring information and energy to you during a reading. For some Spirits the Astral Space is too dense for them to hold a connection through so they will use another spirit as their messenger. They will sometimes refer to this messenger as ‘brother’ or ‘sister’. It’s best to ask your Guides to confirm if this an ‘Astral’ sibling or an ‘Earthly’ sibling. It can be confusing at first but once you get used to feeling the difference in vibrations it will significantly improve your ability to glean information.

DREAM ANALYSIS FOR ‘NATALIE’

My friend and I were on a road trip and she had to run into the gas station to ask for directions. We were both laughing so hard! I recall it feeling like a 70’s version of Thelma and Louise. We were short on cash but we were young and didn’t care. It felt like summer. We were both in t-shirts and jean shorts. Small town nowhere but having a blast!

CARD: ACE OF WANDS

Growing up sometimes means thinking there is a loss of freedom. And there is but that doesn’t mean you can’t purposefully regain it from time to time. A dream like this can signify that even tho life is heavy and full of responsibility, you’re managing to stay in touch with your passionate side. Good friends in dreams can mean that your positive intentions for each other are landing well. I also sense it represents that both people are letting themselves dream of fun in the future rather than staying hyper-focused on the immediate.

ANGEL MONEY GARDEN SPELL

STEP ONE

START WITH YOU

Change the language around money. You can no longer say/think the words 'I'm broke', 'I have no money', 'I'm worried I'll have no money', etc. Your thoughts and your words create your reality. If you're going to do magic for money, you're working with a lot of moving parts and since money is an alchemical tool, it needs to transmute and become something else. By saying ‘I am receiving money’, ‘I will have X amount by X date’, ‘I am paying bills’, ‘I am financially safe’, whatever words you choose to use, they must be block free. 'No' words slows things down and this kind of spell is created with speed in mind like a fast moving current(cy).

STEP TWO

BUILD THE GARDEN

Find a space in your home where you can dedicate a table that represents the element of ‘Earth’. I have mine by the window so I will have the element of ‘Fire’ represented by sunlight and the element of ‘Air’ coming in fresh. Fill a glass to represent the element of ‘Water’ and place it near the window. Feel free to put anything you want in the garden to represent all the things that make you happy. ‘You’ are the fifth element and the more joy you surround the garden with, the quicker your money garden will grow.

STEP THREE

MONEY JARS

DRAGON JAR (DJ) - for distraction

Once you have your space sorted, find a big clean glass jar. This is called a 'Dragon Jar'. It is to collect sparkly fun beautiful little things so that the House Spirits will have something of their own and not take from the garden. I personally lose way less things when I have Dragon Jars lying around.

This works with the thinking that there are 'shared' treasures in the home. House Spirits like to know they have something of their own. You can put anything in this jar but I also suggest a few coins. You will want to add small money areas to your garden but not too much. We need to put the idea out that you have a little but need a lot more.

MONEY JAR - for you and anyone else involved in the spell

Just like the DJ, make one for yourself so that when the garden is set there's a jar for 'Them' and a jar for 'You'. Take your time and really enjoy filling your jar about half way. Find little things around the house that represent you. Over time you will keep adding to the jar so that you are showing money to come in.

This kind of spell is one you can keep working and adding to daily even after your money starts flowing in. A great method for battling money anxiety with!

STEP FOUR

SEEDS

Create a mantra (or several) that will work like a mill wheel. To 'water' your 'garden' we need movement and words are excellent for that. As you fill your jars, as you toil your soil, speak and think these mantras often. These words are your seeds. Love them and know they will bloom for you. Examples are ‘Clean Money is coming to me now.’ ‘I am receiving clean money in all forms.’ ‘I am becoming financially abundant’. Loop those mantras out loud repeatedly around your garden while you play.

Your words carry what is called 'The Gods Spark'. Your soul has a direct link to Divine Energy and when you speak of what you need, it is heard in the angelic realm as an 'instruction'. When affectively applied, they will carry out that instruction because they were originally created to obey 'The Gods Spark'. When we engage with the angelic realm we have to be very careful because what you say is what you get. So the more detailed you are the better. Rule #1 when dealing with the angelic realm is to add on a phrase like 'Harm To None, Joy To All' because their way is to have it come to you as quickly as possible and you don't want anyone to suffer for your needs.

STEP FIVE

SIGIL MAGICK

I spell it with a K because I practice Ceremonial Magick with the angelic realm and use Sigils as my 'blueprints'.

Here is how to create an angel money garden sigil.

Print out the image of the 'Iron Rose Cross Sigil Maker' (IRCSM)

First timers will want to have this printed out and be able to see it under another piece of paper to trace on.

Take your favourite mantra (or create a new one for the sigil specifically) and write it out in one sentence.

Eg: I will this sigil to bring me money.

Now cross out every repeating letter and you will have these letters:

I W L T H S G O B R N M E Y

Draw a circle around the IRCSM and through the paper, find your letters. First letter you will circle then draw a straight line to the next letter. In the IRCSM, the letter M can also be used as W, C or K can be used as X. Draw lines to connect all your letters in sequence. The last letter will have a line drawn over it. So you will have a design of single lines that start with a circle and end in a line.

After this, you can do whatever else you want to the sigil as long as it's outside the big circle. You don't want any other imagery inside of it that may change what is 'read'. I will write angel names and symbols and such but only on the outside of the big circle.

Once it's done, spit on it. Yep. Spit on it to mark your territory. Then move your hand over it as if you're making the sigil 'spin'. Whenever you think of the sigil, imagine giving it more energy to stay spinning.

This is the battery of your spell. Whatever tool you use as a battery, it must have a piece of you in it and be able to give off an impression of movement.

STEP FIVE

CANDLE MAGICK

Alongside sigil/angel work, candle magick can be very affective as well. If you're lucky to have a local witchy shop carry money candles it might be the one thing I would suggest you buy for this spell. If not, don't worry about it as this will still charm the candle. One candle represents you, the other represents the money coming to you. Carve whatever you like to identify the purpose of each candle. Then place them at opposite ends of the garden. Every day as you tend to your seeds and sprouts, move the candles a little closer together. Magick works brilliantly with imagery so the more you ‘show’ what you want, the faster you get it.

STEP SIX

TURN THE WATER ON

Once everything is in it's spot, you're going to say a specific prayer to connect your garden to the ‘Egregore’ of Money. An ‘Egregore’ can be imagined as a large ‘thought pool’. When enough people put their thoughts and intention into an idea it builds up and eventually becomes a source of energy you can tap into and use.

Money Prayer:

'I invoke the angels that are responsible for taking care of me to go ahead and make my crooked place a-straight. I invoke the angels that are responsible for the Egregore of Money. I invoke you to connect my garden to the Egregore of Money. I am to receive clean money in all ways and forms that it can come to me quickly. Harm to None. Joy to all. Please and thank you. Amen.'

Now sit for a bit and imagine angels literally bringing a hose to your garden to water it with all this money. Give it time to bring what you've asked for. Keep the energy light and happy around your garden. Have fun with it and when the sprouts come, acknowledge them and give thanks. A cultivated and well loved seed has the potential to grow a bean stalk leading you to your very own golden goose.

THIS HOUSE IS CLEAN

There are many reasons why keeping your house energetically ‘clean’ is so important. Establishing control of your space will create healthy boundaries between your earthly realm and astral space. Be cautious with using sage for smudging as it has the property to erase ALL energies in the room and will create a neutral space. Energy only seeks balance so be ready to fill that space before something else does.

To enhance the protection energy already in place here are a few ideas to keep them amplified:

Goofer Dust Recipe

  • cemetery dirt - not from a grave

  • charcoal

  • dried chilies

  • Sulpher

  • Iron fillings

    Use all equal parts to make a fine powder to be mixed with salt along thresholds. Steep and make a tincture spray for your body so that you ‘stink’ on the astral plane if you’re being harassed by ‘Ne’er-do-wells’.

  • salt lines along thresholds

  • iron pans under the bed

  • bowls of vinegar evaporating

  • have a ‘St. Peter’ at your front and back door

  • Citrus - eaten or wearing essential oil

  • mirrors facing outwards from windows

  • never use a Ouija Board

  • offering spaces for ‘the good guys’

  • iron horseshoes on or above front doors

  • know the history of your home and land
