August Quotes
“‘Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
All soft and still and fair;
The solemn hour of midnight
Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,
But most where trees are sending
Their breezy boughs on high,
Or stooping low are lending
A shelter from the sky.
And there in those wild bowers
A lovely form is laid;
Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
Wave gently round her head.”
Emily Bronte, Moonlight, Summer Moonlight

What Is Kitchen Witchery?
Kitchen witchery is a form of witchcraft that encompasses many practices such as magical cookery, cleaning, herbalism and spell work. It is generally less formal and ceremonial than many other magical paths, but it can help bring the sacred and spiritual into everyday life. Magic can be brought into your day-to-day through tasks such as mopping the floor, dusting, gardening and cooking meals for yourself and your family.

Inner Journey:
ARE YOU SERVING?
“You may be good, but what are you good for? You’ve got to be good for something. You’ve got to be about some project, some task that requires you to be humble and obedient to the universal principles of service.”
— Stephen R. Covey
“We had to learn ourselves, and furthermore we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life but instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life, daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for the individual.”
— Victor Frankl
“If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room.”
— Anita Roddick

Today’s Tarot: Friday
The Chariot: The Chariot card in Tarot is not an easy card to interpret. It could mean an eventual hard-won success. The card often pictures the chariot, an armored warrior, sun or moon symbols, the encircled rod on the winged shield, black and white sphinxes (or lions or horses), sometimes at rest. Some decks have a canopy of stars and sometimes a throne inside the chariot.
