MAKING MAGIC: Tips to make your life happier, healthier and more fulfilling.
Almonds: according to the 20th century's greatest psychic, Edgar
Cayce, people who ate three raw almonds every day would never need to worry
about cancer or tumors. Years after Cayce made this pronouncement, medical
science discovered wonderful anti-cancer properties in almonds. Keep in mind
that Cayce died more than half a century ago, back when the toxins in our
environment weren't quite so omnipresent, so you might bump that quotient up to
five a day. In any case, they're sure to help. And if you've already had a bout
of cancer, try eating a handful a day. Just remember - they must be raw.
New Moon Magic for May: Moon in Taurus
You’ve heard of wishing on a star, but how about wishing on a new moon? The energy
of a new moon offers strong possibilities for directing urges and wishes. The energy
of the moon increases for two weeks following a new moon; then it declines for two weeks
following the full moon. Wishes are seeds. If you make a list of four or five wishes in
the two-day period following a new moon, you’ll see positive growth, if not total fulfillment, of that wish.
If you want to know how powerful the moon’s urges are, think of the tides rising and falling. The earth is one-third water and two-thirds matter, exactly the same proportions as the human body. That should tell you how much pull it has.
Every month the moon is in a different sign of the zodiac. By relating your wish to the most appropriate sign, you can channel it even further in the right direction. This month the new moon is in Taurus. It’s the third new moon of the Solar year and Taurus is the moon to wish for money, pleasure, self-esteem and releasing habits caused by stubbornness.
Try making a wish list (write it by hand for best effect) any time just past midnight AM EST on the 19th of April and for the 48 hours following. Include 5-8 items and set them down on paper. You may be surprised and pleased by what transpires.
Next month’s New Moon on Jun 17th will be in Gemini. These wishes can be all about communication, publishing, learning, social interaction and easing nervous tendencies.
One final tip: think carefully about your wish. If it’s a wish about growth, this is the time to plant the seed. If you wish to end something, such as a smoking habit, the time to begin that wish would be right after the full moon, when the energy declines for two weeks.
