EarthSky News: Lyra the Harp contains Vega, a summer gem
Lyra may be a small constellation, 52nd out of the 88 constellations, but it has a big presence. This is largely due to its bright star Vega, prominent in northern summer skies, and its location as a corner of the Summer Triangle. Vega is magnitude 0.03, which makes it the 5th brightest star in all the sky or the 2nd brightest star belonging to just the Northern Hemisphere

Patheos-Pagan: The Hoodoo You Probably Already Knew
JULY 12, 2022 BY LILITH DORSEY
Many Black folks like myself probably grew up doing a lot of Hoodoo magick and they didn’t even realize it. A psalm for protection, some salt on the doorstep, a root in the pocket… all of these are time honored Hoodoo practices that for many of us have become second nature.

Inner Journey:ARE YOU HAPPY?
“It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.”

Don’t answer too quickly. Sit with this question for a long time and you’ll be introduced to brand new dimensions of who you are and of what matters in your life.
“Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.”

Daily Wisdom

Creativity
“When we are writing, or painting, or composing, we are, during the time of creativity, freed from normal restrictions, and are opened to a wider world, where colors are brighter, sounds clearer, and people more wondrously complex than we normally realize.”
-Madeleine L’Engle, (Walking on Water 1980)
Creativity is freeing. It is exploring the great “what if” out there. When our imagination is unleashed we can soar to ever-greater heights. We experience our connection to the Universe in a profound way, with timeless awareness and innate wisdom.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Devil
You don’t want to spend the whole day trying to swim upstream. Work on your self-control and don’t let anyone or anything lure you into overreacting or flying out of control. Be practical and don’t get in your own way. You can have your silly fun later, and fantasize your revenge, at home in private with those who love you no matter what you do or say.
