Mel's Motivation
Return of the Light
Welcome back to the newsletter!
I hope you all had a wonderful time whatever you did, whether you celebrated or not, and however, you chose to, but now, after all the hubbub and seasonal furore has died down, this is the time of year where many people decide to make resolutions and changes.
For some, its the goal to lose weight, for some its to stop smoking, others to save up some money for that holiday and many, many other things. I have spent more years than I care to remember making resolutions on the 1st of January and breaking them by the 2nd!! Anyone the same?
There are so many adverts on the media just now – for diets, for exercise plans and so on, and these just prey on our subconscious and our insecurities to make megabucks for themselves, but you have the power within you to do whatever you want on your OWN terms and by your OWN conditions and without lining the pockets of big business.
So I decided a few years ago not to make any more because I always ended up feeling a bit as if I had let myself down every year. So instead I decided to set an intention for the year. That way, it wasn’t something I could break in one day, and it was also fluid, meaning that the intention could grow, shrink, change or whatever. As long as I had something personal to focus on for the year – it didn’t matter if there was a week or a month that I wasn’t active in its execution.
At this time of new beginnings, of fresh starts and of the turn of the wheel after the blessed Solstice, I challenge you to think about what you would like to work towards accomplishing this year. It might be losing weight – but don’t get hung up on the whole diet thing. It might be saving money – but don’t get strung out on it. Perhaps it’s a new job – but don’t sweat it and take that course if you want to. But as long as you have something to focus on and to aim towards, just don’t allow that inner voice to beat you up.
Last year I decided to focus on my Spiritual Growth. This year will be similar, but there are one or two other things that I am working towards – so stay posted! Have a wonderful January and enjoy watching the nights getting lighter and lighter...! With love, light and blessings Mel xx
A word from Momma Witch
Here is my list
Finish 2 half done novels - that's the easy bit.
Create - film - Youtube A Tarot Training video - I am camera shy - hate being in front of them so watch this space - A novel first - and then maybe a bit of the tarot experiment.... who knows how that will go! Watch this space.
Now, come on, tell us your resolutions and have you started them ????

JOIN ME FOR A SPELL
After all the recent expenses and bills coming in, we all need a little help so here is a spell that you can try
Decorate your altar with coins, pieces of jewellery and items symbolic of wealth and these items can be photographs or actual objects. Crystals are helpful too and Citrine is the best stone to attract money, it's known as The Merchants Stone. You should keep one in your purse or wallet.
Cast your circle and at the appropriate time recite the following verse which you can also keep in your purse
Blessed Lady of the Light
Fill my purse this is my plight
Bills to pay and food to buy
Hear my prayer hear my cry
Pennies to pounds it is my plea
Lady above you can see
My purse is empty and help I need
This prayer I ask of you to heed
May blessings come from you to me
And it harm none so mote it be
YOUR LUNAR CHART FOR FEBRUARY 2019 G.M.T
Your Horoscope for 13th January 2019
Aries
A long drawn out period with Mercury and Neptune could create influences, which may have already occurred, where you have or will be unable to communicate for one reason or another. Apart from that fortunate influences are arriving and will continue till around the 20th of January
Taurus
Mars and the Moon will be looking for action during the first part of the week, but fear not this hectic influence will begin to lose momentum and things will start to slow down to a steadier pace, one that you can cope with.
Gemini
Circumstances which may be very difficult to understand are likely to occur while the Moon is in opposition with Uranus until the middle of the week. This can cause all sorts of trials and tribulations, but by the end of the week, you will be totally switched on to what is happening and why.
Cancer
The Sun in its current position with Neptune will bring obscure experiences and there is a good chance that someone will confide in you and share a secret. The medical profession may be significant at this time. The 15th will be very significant regarding incoming news.
Leo
A slow start to your week will pick up around the 15th and at that time your financial prospects will suddenly look promising. Later, as influences change, you should avoid signing documents and be cautious around the opposite sex.
Virgo
Changes in your normal routine are likely to prove beneficial and you will find that this leads to a busier and more productive period. In the past, you may have been cautious, but a new sense of courage will be born.
Libra
A really fortunate influence is approaching you that should bring about various pleasant and beneficial changes. This is a good time to widen your horizons and make new friends. Your health will improve and so too will your outlook.
Scorpio
Mercury and Saturn will remain in your chart until the 29th of January and regardless of the comings and goings of other planets your concentration will increase and you will be more focused.
Sagittarius
Venus pops into your chart to say hello at the beginning of the week making you feel pleasant, peaceful and in the mood for good company. At times like these, you can be more expressive about how you feel about people and things in general.
Capricorn
You can expect some very pleasant changes this week Capricorn and something new is likely to begin. (Just started my next novel). In fact, the coming week could prove to be better than you could hope for.
Aquarius
Apart from one or two odd moments, thank you, Neptune, this is going to be one of those really good weeks and whilst there will be some unexpected happenings, you will be intuitive and quick to perceive and respond to them.
Pisces
Jupiter charging into your chart will encourage you to be outgoing, optimistic and have more enthusiasm for life than usual. You will be able to recognize opportunities that will bring future gains.
Im leaving the morning Ritual here for new members and as a reminder that if you remember the Goddess in your life She will remember you. The Morning Ritual
Stand in front of a window and take a deep purifying in breath and visualise that you are breathing in sparkling light energy. Raise your hands high above your head and then clasp your hands together in the prayer position. Draw your hands down in front of your face, still clasped, down past your heart and then separate your hands and spread them as far apart as you can to each side. Visualise all your chakra points being activated and say the following prayer as you do so.
You who are the source of all power and good
Please show me what I need to know when I need to know it
Help me to listen with understanding and speak with wisdom
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
And the wisdom to change the things I can change.
Please show me what I need to know so that I may understand.
The world is an abundant place and
I am grateful for those gifts I have already been given
And I am open and ready to receive
those gifts that are waiting to come to me
Visualise a purple cloak of protection being placed on your shoulders and draw your hands across your chest as though you are drawing the cloak over you.
You are now ready to begin your day and you can use this ritual at any time especially if you feel insecure anxious or worried.
