Maria Duval - Making Book Of Shadows Spell Book

Making Book Of Shadows Spell Book
If you make your own Book of Shadows, you will be able to harness more power from it.

To make one, you need a plastic 3 ring binder, some batting, some fabric, and some glue.

Lay the binder on the table so that it is open. Put the batting underneath and mark where you will cut the batting so that it can be glued to the outside of the binder.

After you are done marking the batting, you want to use your scissors to cut the batting around the outline you made.

Next, you want to lay the open binder back onto the batting. Now, lift up one end of the binder and put hot glue around the outside edges. Then press the outside edge of the binder to the batting to attach it to the binder.

First do one cover, then the binding, and then the other cover.

In the end, the batting should be securely fastened to the binder, and should come to the exact ends of the binder covers.

The binder should open and close easily.

You will now cover the binder and batting with the fabric that you selected. Lay the binder and batting covering on top of the piece of fabric. Make sure you select an area of the fabric that will give you the look that you want on the outside cover of your book of shadows. (In other words, position the binder onto the fabric so that the fabric will look how you want it to on the cover)

Next, take your felt tipped marker and mark the fabric to 2 inches around the binder.

Using the scissors, cut the fabric around the lines that you marked. You should now have a piece of fabric the perfect size to cover the binder with (with your 2 inches of cushion around the edges).

Next, lay the binder and batting cover it, on the fabric you cut out. Make sure you have an even 2 inches of fabric around the binder (lay the binder open).

Lift up one end of the binder and put hot glue around the edges of the batting.

Now bring that end of the fabric up to the batting and pat it flush with the glue you placed on the batting. Gently rub the fabric smooth.

Do the same thing with the binding, and with the other cover of the binder.

When this step is complete, the fabric should be glued around the outside of the batting on your binder. You will still have the 2 inches of fabric around the binder hanging free. We will deal with that in step 6.

Now lay the binder open on the table in front of you. Start with one of the edges of fabric and stretch it over the inside of the binder. Make sure it is taught.

Once you can see how far it will stretch, place hot glue on the inside edge of the binder and gently stretch, and rub the fabric over the glue so that it sticks.

Do this for each of the 4 edges of the open binder. In the end the 2-inches of fabric around the binder will be glued to the inside edges of the binder, but the corners of the fabric will still be up. We will deal with those in step 7.

Next, clip each corner of the fabric with scissors so that it folds neatly over into the inside corner of the binder. Once it looks good, use the hot glue to stick it to the inside cover of the binder.

Repeat with each of the 4 corners.

You've now got a nicely covered (and cushioned) Book of Shadows. Your next step is to cover the inside of the covers so that they look nice.

Cut your poster paper into 2 squares. Each square should be large enough to completely cover the inside of your binder.

Next, cut 2 pieces of fabric. Each one should be big enough to cover one side of the poster board pieces. You should have about 1 inch extra of fabric around each edge of the poster board.

Lay the poster board pieces on top of the fabric pieces you cut out. Gently fold over the edges of the fabric and use white glue to attach them along the edges of the poster board.

Using scissors, trim the corners of the fabric, and gently fold them under (like you did for the binder corners), and use white glue to stick the corners neatly to the corners of the poster board pieces.

Finally, place the covered poster board pieces with the fabric side facing up - down on the inside of the binder.

Use hot glue to glue the edges to the inside of the binder so that your insides are covered with the same fabric used to cover the outside of your Book of Shadows.

You are all done! Congratulations on your new Book of Shadows.

The secret now is to decorate the outside of your book of shadows with items, pictures, colors, and symbols that define and are special to you. Use things that create good emotions deep within you.

Creating your Book of Shadows in an image of yourself will allow you to draw maximum energy from your Book of Shadows when you do your Magick work.

All that is left is to get some 3 holed paper to place into your book of shadows, and you can begin writing your Magick work in it's pages.

Record your journey through the world of Magick, and also don't forget to try to use it as a Magick diary, recording your experiences in life each night before going to bed.

The more positive energy you put into the creation of your Book of Shadows, the more power you can draw from it when doing your spells and rituals.

Online Psychics, Tarot Card Reading and Astrology Made Accurate and Affordable
What is a Natal Chart? If you look at the words 'natal chart' you could read them another way 'birth map' - this may help you understand what is being talked about. Basically, the natal chart is a map of the sky including the positions of the planets for the time that you were born. Where you are born has an impact on what is seen in the sky, e.g., if two people were born on the same day and at the same time but in a different city and country, what is seen overhead would be different. This would mean that their natal charts showing planetary placements would be different from each other. So, the first step in using astrology is to draw a map of the sky for the moment a person is born. This map includes all the planets, plus a few other points of interest such as the horizon and the middle of the sky directly over the birthplace. The time of birth is important for detailed work because it affects the position of the various parts of the chart, in particular the zodiac sign on the eastern horizon (this gives the Rising Sign/Ascendant) and position of the point over the birthplace (this gives the position of the Mid heaven). If the time of birth is unknown it can be worked out through major life events by an experienced astrologer who specializes in this branch of astrology: this is known as rectification. To do this you would need to give the astrologer as many major life events as possible such as: marriage; birth of children; major moves; divorce; death; new business ventures or jobs; and/or any other significant changes to your life. Another way of finding out what time you were born is to contact the hospital you were born in. In the majority of cases they have this information recorded on the mother's file. I know this is the case in Australia but I'm not sure about other countries but it is still worth a try! Natal Chart Interpretations Once the natal chart has been prepared, the positions of the planets in different zodiac signs (ie, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc) can be 'interpreted'. This is an area that people interested in astrology usually become a little skeptical about the validity of astrology because the interpretations can vary greatly from one astrologer to another. One way to understand these differences in interpretation is to understand that the planets and other points in the natal chart are used as symbols: as such, they have quite a broad ability to represent different qualities depending on the age, sex, marital status, belief system, etc of the person whose natal chart is being interpreted. Interpretation is also affected by the particular areas of interest of the individual astrologer. For example, some of the areas of specialization include psychological, past-life, medical, child-based, and the list goes on! The type of information gained from the natal chart includes understanding the early home life, relationship with parents and how these affect adult relationships. There are many others areas that can be looked at in quite a comprehensive way such as how you are perceived by the people around you, emotional needs, how you express love and affection, etc. The information found in the natal chart can also provide an insight into what talents a person may possess that have not yet been realized or used to full potential. Natal charts offer the benefit of self-understanding which may give a person a whole new perception of themselves, direction in life and open up possibilities for new directions in life; both in the physical and psychological sense. --- The Writer Rose used to write for Universal Psychic Guild the online psychics and astrology sites which offer star signs info, free horoscopes, chinese zodiac signs and more.

Law Of Attraction
LAW OF ATTRACTION My Story My first experience with the law of attraction was hearing about “The Secret” DVD 4 years ago. At that time I was having problems meeting the rent and dodging debt collectors and really wanted to get my life sorted out and this law of attraction thing sounded like my last hope. I was so excited when I first heard about The Secret DVD and this mysterious Law of attraction that I immediately ordered it online, at that time it was only available from the US. The first time I watched The Secret it totally blew me away I felt like I had discovered the world’s most precious treasure. In an instant it crushed bad habits like my constant worrying about my lack of money (law attracting more lack of money) and I quickly learned to stop my thoughts and switch my mind to ideas for making money (law attracting more money). The Secret also taught me that if I started thinking I’d be late, or the money wouldn’t come, or I wouldn’t get the job, the law of attraction would always match exactly what my thoughts and feelings were vibrating. I used to watch the Secret DVD every morning when getting ready for work, to remind me to really vibrate positively through out the day and to allow myself dream about things I wanted and to actually go out and research my wants. For instance if I wanted a new car then I would just go an test drive one, If I wanted to live a nicer flat then I would go and view some, If wanted a new outfit well then I would go and try some on and most importantly not to worry or allow my focus to think about the lack of money, the law of attraction would take care of that , all I had to do was learn how to vibrate and be excited about the things I wanted. I found that by actually going in a shop and pretending I was going to buy something I would then get so excited I would realize that I really really wanted and then some how my mind would later find a way to get the money .I really think my mind would not have got the ideas for the money each time if I had not first allowed my self to get excited over it. The Secret DVD also advised that to really get the attraction working; you should start a law of attraction scrap book. So I cut out pictures of things I wanted and stuck them in this book and would look at it every day. In my scrap book I had a new phone, a new PC laptop an expensive Juicer, a new pair of trainers. I had wanted these things for months and months and would often feel sad that I could find no way of getting the money but within 14 days of the Scrap book I had a new Nokia 6300 a brand new Dell 1706 PC laptop and all the other bits too. The law of attraction really seemed to be working. Having these items made me feel I was getting my life together and my vibration and confidence then increased and because of that my work then increased and then more money started coming in. I did get some of the bigger items on finance and I could have actually got them months earlier before The Secret came along but I was feeling so negative and sad about NOT having them I had assumed I wouldn’t pass the credit checks and never even bothered to try, but The Secret made me think it was possible to have them so I did the research which got me excited and then I was determined to get them and I got them. The Secret DVD and law of attraction is a clever but simple psychology that really works and changes lives, it’s fact , not hype or nonsense, but we do need to train our minds to vibrate positive and long enough and strong enough to actually receive and attract and that does take having some real discipline over our minds. If people spent just 1 hour a day working with the law of attraction exercises and formula’s they could save themselves years and years of lack and struggle and really learn to manifest their dream and desires in much shorter space of time.

Four Agreements - Fourth Agreement - Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret. We all need to learn to love ourselves more �" to accept what is �" and what isn’t …and make it all okay! I’m not sure where this quote came from but I think it fits here -"We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery." Don’t just study what others have to say �" don’t mimic what others do �" YOU have a purpose here �" do YOUR best… I was ordained as a New Thought Minister and The New Thought movement isn’t about learning Ernest Holmes and Charles and Myrtle Fillmore… What they have invited us to do is to experience what they have experienced… There were times during my first few years in Ministry that I wasn’t sure I was doing my best… I did all the things I’ve shared not to do �" that’s how I knew to tell my students!! We are NOT the creators of the Universe…The World is in continual evolution �" We are responsible to be conscious of the process in our lives… We are co-creators. When you recognize yourself as a co-creator with God, you have access to unlimited power and an unlimited future. There is a beautiful description of co-creation in the words of Henry David Thoreau: “I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.” Once God puts something in our hearts for us to do, we are to lock in on what it is that has been called for us to do. Our responsibility is to do what we know to do. We are responsible for the WHAT and we let God fill in the HOW The most current wisdom I am learning AGAIN �" is to Let GO �" SURRENDER to the PROCESS of Life… that’s what it means to surrender to God �" or to Good… I’d like to close this passage with a-piece sent to me by a friend �" it’s the metaphor for our lives �" Rising against gusting breeze, a kite flies. Tethered but by a simple string, wind caressing its face, trailing tail behind, up, up, up it climbs. Flittering side to side. Dipping, lilting, skirting, ever taunting its line, "Higher, higher, higher, " Let the string roll too rapidly from its spindle, and the wind loses its grasp. Hold on too tightly, and the kite can't possibly rise. Loose and hold at the 'just right' moments, the kite soars. Effortlessly, serenely, flirting with the very heavens. You see, when it comes to kite flying, the essence is in tending the line. It's in sensing the shifting gusts. It's in being flexible, in knowing when to hold on, and when to let go. THE TIME IS NOW --- And so it is.

Has TV helped the Online Psychic Readings Industry ?
Moonwhisper.com as well as many other psychic reading websites has proven that the internet is a viable venue for professional psychics to display their services and provide an obviously very lucrative service to the major players in the online psychic reading industry. With an increasing demand for high quality and affordable psychic advice rising daily smaller websites are finding it easier to break into this niche market and take psychic service promotions to the next level with a complete line of co branded services on the web. You will find that the fires of this rise in interest in the psychic readings niche has been fanned in part by the rise of popular TV shows that have really brought the paranormal and psychic ability into main stream American homes. These shows have really taken a lot of the taboo previously associated with psychics and turned them into heroic figures solving mysteries, crimes as well as helping those in need with their psychic abilities. You may be asking how has this helped online psychics? The answer is simple we are now more accepting and aware of these paranormal events that have always taken place and we have been desensitized to the previous stigma associated with psychics by the constant barrage of the paranormal on TV. It has now become normal to consult with psychics and to believe that a psychic has the ability to predict the future because we as Americans are so used to it from our exposure on television. May I add it is about time we have learned to accept psychic abilty instead of shy aware from it as the answers we seek could be just a click of a mouse away. In my opinion we can look at the rise of online psychic popularity in two ways either as a sad cry for help by the public at large who are desperate to find hope anywhere or as a beginning of an age of enlightenment where we are finally at place where we are accepting of a higher spiritual plane and are not afraid to seek advice from a realm that is intangible but nevertheless very real. I find the latter to be a more optimistic and open minded way of thought and I really believe that psychics will no longer be shunned and mocked but be sought after and accepted as a genuine professional service. I see the future of psychic readings to be very bright and something that will continue to grow and blossom as our spirituality becomes more accepting and our rational minds let go and let the psychic mind be released.
