Element of Fire

Fire

     The Element of Fire is associated with the Signs Aries, Leo and
Sagittarius, and it also rules the First, Fifth and Ninth Houses. As one
would expect, those graced by Fire are fiery, indeed. They are
enthusiastic and sometimes larger than life. Just like a fire that is
left untended, however, Fire Signs can burn out of control. Ouch! It's
best to tend those embers.
     A Fire Sign is also an indicator of creativity. This Element
manifests itself in creative and unique ways, and those in its glow are
also wonderfully courageous, lively spirits.  Those influenced by a Fire
Sign are self-sufficient, spontaneous and possess a tremendous zest for
life.  It also stands to reason that a combustible Fire Signer would be
ardent in the game of love. Yes, these are the sexiest Signs of the
Zodiac, knowing they are the cat's meow and climbing ever higher in the
name of love. To their credit, those touched by Fire are often an
inspiration to others, certainly for their adherence to solid moral and
religious ideals.
     If there's a flip side to the Element of Fire, it can be that those
who bear its will can be overly strident in getting their way. Call it
bossy, even. These folks can come across rather forcefully. Selfishness
and an overdeveloped ego can also be seen as part of a fiery
individual's
shadowy side.  Fire Signs are strong, self-assured, creative and fun.
When
they get too hot to touch, though, it may be a good idea to stand back!

Fire energy is the hot, devouring power of the most intense emotions. Anger,
lust, love. Just like the element itself, fire energy is difficult to control
and it destroys everything in its path. Yet when contained, the energy can
provide "light," revealing the truth to its holder.

While fire energy is most powerful when out of control, like in burning
buildings or forest fires, it is useless to a person when it is this furious. One
cannot harness the energy of a raging fire and will instead find that the fire
consumes their energy and leaves them drained. A contained flame, like in a
candle or in hot coals, is much more valuable. It is more than enough for magic,
but not enough to overpower the undertaker.

Ears-OLD WIVES TALES, SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS AND FOLKLORE

EARS While the superstition of burning ears dates back years, there is no real indication of where it came from. Many superstitions that still exist today date back to the medieval days and are often rooted in pagan religions or the church. In the case of the burning ears, it is said that if your ears are burning, someone is talking about you. Now if you want to know if they are saying good things or bad things, remember this " Left for love, Right for spite! ". If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you. Pinch your ear, and the person talking of you will bite his own tongue. If the right ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking well of you; if the left ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking unkindly of you; but if both ears burn, friend and foe are fighting about you. - Pennsylvania. If your ears burn, people are talking well of you; if your ears are cold, the contrary. -...

Medicinal Pickled Garlic

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!...

With cold and flu season coming up soon once again I am thinking ahead this year so I am making some medicines to have ready to fight back fast. According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.” That is some powerful stuff!  There is much more information in the book, it is a wonderful addition to your homesteading or prepping library. Peeled garlic cloves (enough to fill a jar) Raw apple cider vinegar Raw Local Honey Fill a mason jar with garlic cloves; use any size jar you like.  Fill the jar with apple cider vinegar to cover the garlic completely.  Place the jar in a warm place for 3-4 weeks.
