Magickal Energies for January 25

Shop Chat - Chat Groups

It has long been a vision of mine to have an Uncle Festers membership area with integrated chat groups - amongst many other things. I've been loathe however to start a Facebook group or anything however as I know how much time they can take to get going, and have seen other groups implode for various reasons (plus I am anti Facebook at the moment) - I have been thinking about those reasons some groups don't work . . . and think I found some insight once I viewed it within a 4 elements framework (don't know why that took me so long, it is how I tend to evaluate the world . . .)

So here is my list of problem people in chatgroups by Elemental Extreme (perhaps a little tongue in cheek) :

Earth Energy Personalities - they like enforcing the "rules" which they see as vital, and work relentlessly to keep everything and everyone in order. They can however become so pedantic and politically correct over everything - that it makes it hard for others to participate without getting jumped on for one reason or another. . .

Water Energy Personalities - want others to validate their feelings and emotions. Am I right to feel this? I had a dream . ..; Help me with this decision. . .. They also need group harmony and get offended with others who don't play along the way they expect . ..

Fire Energy Personalities - You are all entitled to my opinion. I can tell you exactly how I do things (because I am great at it all.) . .. I disagree (on principle). . . Let me lead you . . .

Air Energy Personalities - like to show off their higher knowledge on discussion topics, and the more esoteric the discussion the better; I have read 17 books on this and the real truth is. . . . . . I also know all the big words. . .

Several Readers mentioned alternatives to Facebook or Chat Groups which I am in the process of checking out .

Reader G wrote in too

How about WhatsApp as a platform/forum for discussion?

He also shared his "website in progress" https://witchreligiousexperience.com/
The Religious Experience of the (Australian) Witchcraft Community based on his work for a PhD on the topic. It looks to become a fabulous resource - so check it out.

What other chat group issues can others think of?

Your Magickal Friend,

What Astrolenergies Element are you?

We went through this whole process a while ago but I'm repeating it now for the new readers and those that didn't do the exercise the first time. Also at the request of a customer - there are now available 6 different calendars like the one above that list every single day this year in each element - including all the mixed and balanced days. The main calendar above just lists the main Super power days - those with four or five of the same element present on the same day - but there are many more other strong days with three x elements present - and if that matches your personal profile these are your Personal Power days and it helps to know them all in advance.

So you can follow along over the next few days and work out your own main element/s and then just get the chart for that one. Or you can have me do you a full Astrolenergies profile (I just need your birthdate, including year and if that was in the Southern Hemisphere or not) - and I'll send you the full 38 page report with introductory notes, planning notes as well as the full set of all the 2022 calendars.

Ok DIY'ers the next variable I look at is what moon phase you were born under - with these broken down into four different phases each lasting a week or so. So use the Peak Full Moon date and the three days either side as the Full moon week; the official New Moon date and the three either side as the Dark/New moon week - and the periods between those two are the waxing (growing) and waning (shrinking) moon times (these can vary between 7-8 days). . .

I use this source to look up historical moon phases
http://www.moonconnection.com/moon_phases_calendar.phtml

So find your date of birth, look at where the nearest full and new moons are and work out which moon phase week you are in.

Full = Fire Energy
Waning = Water Energy
Dark/New = Earth Energy
Waxing = Air Energy

More tomorrow. . .

Hi Margaret,
I just received my order in time for the full moon and Ostara celebration. I wanted to say thank you so much as it was absolutely perfect! So much attention to detail and thought was put into this package and I just wanted you to know I am very grateful for your efforts. I love every single item and can't wait to use everything in my upcoming ritual.Much love and many blessings,
K2

I have been a customer of Uncle Fester's for a couple of years now, and love it! I subscribe to their Magick by the Month parcel and am always pleased with the goodies I get every month. Margaret is very passionate about what she does and shares information in her newsletters and free courses as well as having the online shop. Great communication about orders. Highly recommended! K1

Today I received my first Full Moon package and as with all of the products that are available on this site; the contents and quality of contents are excellent. I am especially delighted that my order was delivered quickly and in time for the full moon.

I love it! Thank you so much, it was a great mix of interesting things ^_^

What's New - Motivational Books and Magickal goodies

My incense supplier has unexpectedly got in some new motivational books - and as a Fire personality - I love me some motivational books! Check them out, dont know how many of each they got in or how quickly they will sell out but the energy later this month is perfect for such reading matter.

I shall also be placing another big order very soon with one of our new age wholesalers for delivery mid January if you want to pre-order items that wont necessarily be held in stock - click the pic above for the full list - which will be added to over the next few days (just finished adding in a heap of new dragon pieces). . . and now includes the set of heat colour changing dragon cauldron mugs, one of which we recently included in our Litha / December Magick packs. . . . Also available again are the wooden moon bowls and some new display shelves, ideal for crystals and talismans . . .
