The more sand that has escaped the hourglass of life, the clearer we should see through it.

Be not ashamed woman, you are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.

The eye is the only sense we have which crosses between the finite and the infinite.

The Eyes are the
windows of the soul

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily, not to dare is to lose onself

When you follow your bliss, doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors

The forces of nature dictate
the cycles of life

Leo/Vitality - Determined
Virgo/Vitality - Studious
Libra/Balance - Cooperation
Scorpio/Sexual - Philosophical

Bear in mind that magical working for gain, increace or bringing things to you, should be initiated when the Moon is waxing ( From Dark to Full ) ; when the Moon is waning, ( From Full to Dark ) , it is time for magical workings of decrease or sending away.
The highest energy occurs at the full Moon, and, therefore, this is the most powerful time for magical workings. The New Moon is the next most powerful time for magic.
Whenever possible, follow Nature's natural energy currents. There is a natural time for starting things ( A Planting time ) , for maturing things ( A growing time ) for reaping things (A Harvest Time ) and of course a time for resting and planning.
Flowing with these currents will make your magical work much easier.
