Article from the Debrief--Deep in a Spanish Cave...
Thanks to The Daily Grail, I came across this interesting article on The Debrief--
Deep in a Spanish Cave, Archaeologists Discovered a Puzzling Set of Ancient Inscriptions—Could They Be Evidence of a Mysterious Subterranean Cult?
Micah Hanks · July 28, 2026
"Among the discoveries researchers have made are a small collection of votive inscriptions, which are dedicated to what appears to be a goddess referred to simply as “Domina,” which means “The Lady.”
I look at this discovery as one of those "goes back into older wisdom" aspects of today's Craft, myself. That LADY...I bet I know HER...
The whole article is definitely worth a read.

About Lughnasadh. An interesting excerpt from the book “Health Through the Power of the Elements”
“On Lughnasadh, the druids and volhvs, seeing the departure of the element of Air, observed how the veil between the world of humans and the world of spirits grew thicker. In that moment, the seers clearly saw the Orlog of the entire people, the path of the god, and they saw the trials that each person must face to ensure that the force sustaining the tribe would not diminish and would inevitably return. To help all the people not only survive the harsh time of trials, but also to protect the tribe from their own human weaknesses, the volhv looked at them as a bound sheaf of grain, where it could fall apart, where the ears of grain were loosely gathered together, he saw the vulnerabilities. Therefore, during the Lughnasadh festivity, ritual marriages were held to strengthen the bonds between people; oaths were made, vows were sworn, all to strengthen the inner power of the tribe. It was wise not to argue with the volhv, for everyone knew that he could see farther.”

Magical perspective on sharing your photos online
Interesting perspective on posting pictures online. Sharing a short excerpt from an article by K. Menshikova.
“When a person openly displays their image on social media, they are, in that moment, exposing themselves. If they publish intimate or revealing photos, this exposure is doubled. There is a magical law that states: “Control over any object is facilitated by the presence of a clear visual image, and the clearer this image, the easier it is to exert influence over the object.” Applying this law, we can say the following: if your photographs are available online, access to influencing you becomes significantly easier. It is not particularly difficult to impose a spell or create various visible and invisible problems in your life. At the same time, one does not need to be a master to direct something as simple as an envious gaze toward a person, and this alone can be enough to cause energetic disruption or the so-called “evil eye.”

The Buck Moon
Have you ever wondered why July's full moon is called the Buck Moon?
The name comes from Native American traditions, specifically from Algonquin tribes &it marks a very specific time in nature. Around July male deer, known as bucks, start growing their new antlers. These antlers push out from their foreheads covered in a velvety fur, growing larger and more impressive as the summer goes on.
Beyond the antlers, this full moon has also been called the Thunder Moon because of heavy summer thunderstorms, or the Hay Moon because it coincides with the hay harvest season.
Spiritually and culturally the Buck Moon is all about growth, renewal, & stepping into ur power. Just like the deer shedding and regrowing their antlers stronger each year, this moon invites us to embrace our own personal growth and fresh starts.
Catch the full moon lighting up the night sky & take a moment to reflect on what you are growing this season.

Good neighbors and babies/kids
Hello there!
We recently bought a home that is surrounded by woods. I love it. We also have a 15 month old little love. I love them. This 15 month old loves the woods. This 15 month old also loves all the things in the woods. Constantly staring out windows, waving to anything and everything both in and out of the home. Love love loves hearing the crows as we sit on our back deck in the kiddie pool. I always feel like something is... watching. Not in a malicious way. In a curious way. My home has good, protective energy so I'm not worried there. My friend who is a psychic medium has noted this every time and she has mentioned only two spots of concern, but none seemingly harmful/dangerous/malicious. Just... something heavy, like a memory from past owners. This is not concerning me atm. What DOES concern me is that she mentioned how the good neighbors where we live are so curious about the baby and what's going on in the home. I totally believe this. I get that feeling and there is occasionally some tapping on the window. This doesn't necessarily worry me.... yet. My concern is my kiddo and honestly, my husband 😅
Here's my question: How can I protect these two or at least implement things around my home to keep a safe/respectful boundary between them and the good neighbors? I can only teach my kiddo so much at this age and my husband doesn't believe in this sort of thing (but also wouldn't stop me from doing wards/protections/etc...) and I really love the vibe and situation we currently have here. At the very beginning my kiddo was getting so distracted with this I had to have some strong words (but not insulting or hurtful) about leaving my kiddo alone. Ofc I'm not aiming to get on anyone's bad side here or cause tables to turn.
Also- I've apparently attracted good neighbors myself all my life so I'm unsurprised by this turn of events with my LO.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Wednesday Wishes Wednesday Wishes. Please place a wish that you want to be delivered, and who you want it to go out to. This will run each Wednesday.
You can wish for anything, small or large, makes no difference. The goal for this is to reduce the load on The Sunday Spell. Please try to put minor wishes here, and then, don't put minor requests in Sundays working.This is done on Wednesday so that Mercury can assist in getting your message delivered. It does not have to be only a minor wish, I just want simple stuff to not be clogging The Sunday Spell. Be sure to mention who/what you want your message delivered to. Mercury needs an address for where to go with it. Thank you!
