Dear Friends,

First of all, I hope you are all enjoying the brand new website:

http://www.askroseariadne.com

…starting next week I am going to begin answering at least 1 question per day (and don’t worry, if you have asked a question that hasn’t been answered yet, it is “in line” and I’ll get to it eventually…)

Ok, on to this issue of the newsletter:

Is Witchcraft Evil?

I was debating between a few different topics, and I picked this one because it is a question I get from a lot of beginners… but it is also important for experienced Witches to ask this question of themselves every day:

“Is Any Of The Witchcraft I’M DOING Evil?”

Let me start by answering the basic question asked by true beginners: Is Witchcraft Evil?

If you ask most high priestesses (or priests) they will tell you that Magick energy is a “neutral force” – it is neither good or bad, it simply depends on how you choose to use it.

How you USE IT defines whether it is Evil or Good at that moment.

I have a slightly different belief, and I’ll start this with a question of you:

Have you ever been in the forest, mountains, at the beach, or somewhere out in nature – and felt exhilarated?  As the sun beat down on your skin, and the colors of the environment reached out, grabbed you, and made you feel as if “life is absolutely beautiful”?

Almost everybody has had that experience.

There are some green hills above my house.  At the peak of one of the hills stand two trees.

On the weekends, I often walk up to the top of this hill and I sit under the trees.  The grass, so green and lush – and living close to the ocean, on a clear day I can see the islands stretching out in front of me like the hand of the Goddess.

The blue ocean water sparkling below… the lush hills around me, with grass gently tickling my leg.

In these moments, we are surrounded by Magick energy.  It sure doesn’t feel “neutral” to me.

It is in it’s natural state, swirling and shifting through our natural world – touching everything at the same time… “affecting us” in ways we can’t even begin to fully understand.

But one thing I do understand… if you let it – it feels absolutely wonderful!

My experience tells me that Magick energy is inherently GOOD.

Because Magick energy is good, using it to create good in your life (and the lives of others) is like paddling a canoe downstream – with the current.  It makes it all so easy…

But, if you choose to use Magick for “ill” – trying to control people, harm people, curse people, etc – not only will you be paddling “upstream” (against the current) in your canoe, but you will also suffer karma (usually worse than the “ills” you have created).

Using Magick to cause harm is much more difficult because I believe that the energy is good in it’s natural state.

Is Any Of The Witchcraft I’m Doing Evil?

No matter how long you have been practicing Witchcraft of any kind – this is a question you should ask yourself daily.

Always “check yourself” and what you are doing by asking if there is any way the spell or ritual you are going to do can be though of as “Evil”.  Are you trying to control someone against their will?  Is the selfishness of your desire going to cause another harm?

That’s why it’s a good idea to end any spell with the words, “An it harm none.”  And to REALLY feel this… you don’t want to cause another harm, but you also want your spell to work – and you are sending the energy out with the intention of bringing you what you desire-  while not causing harm to another.

Check yourself, and what you are doing – and put that line in your spells at the end before you release the energies into the cosmos…

Robyn’s Interview

You’ll have the pleasure of listening to one of my good friends Robyn speak about this very topic in the latest Witchcraft Interview (on the blog of course).

I had Ash do another special interview with her on this very important topic.  Listen, learn (even if you already “know” this), and make sure to go through the 4 questions on the quiz.

Next week, another interview, newsletter, and quiz – on beliefs and a special “will”…

Until then, I’ll see you over at http://www.askroseariadne.com!

Dear Friends, 

I am so happy to finally tell you all about my new website Ask Rose Ariadne!  Basically, anytime you have a question about anything related to Wicca, Witchcraft, Spells, or just life in general, feel free to ask me a question through the simple form on the website!

Go over right now and have a look:

http://www.askroseariadne.com

You’ll see that there is a “Click Here To Ask Rose!” button in the upper left column of the page – if you click it, you can ask (and have answered) any question in your little heart’s desire… ;)

Make sure to explore all tlhat is offered on the site, and you can see answers to some of the other questions others have asked (and that I have already answered).  I plan to answer a few questions a day starting in about a week or so.

I am so excited to hear what you all think about it… and of course, I can’t possibly answer ALL of the questions, so if you have some knowledge about Magick, Wicca, Witchcraft, etc, please let me know here:

http://www.askroseariadne.com/friends-of-rose.html

I’m excited to give you all a little personal attention as time goes on…

Now…

On Friday be on the lookout for my next interview clip and Witchcraft newsletter… it’s going to be a surprise topic (yep, you guessed it, I haven’t decided what the topic is going to be yet… I am considering two different ones – and they are “doozies”).

I’ll let you know what it’s ready this Friday.

Dear Friends,

I am dedicating this issue to all of the people in desperate circumstances in life… the one’s who are still holding on to hope for the future – and believe that miracles are possible.

So many people I talk to are confused about what Witchcraft is really all about – and what the hidden energies of the cosmos can accomplish in one’s life.

I’ll start off quickly by saying, “It can do everything, and more.”  I am sorry to be vague, but it is true.

I’m sure you’ve often heard your parents say, “If you put your mind to it, you can do ANYTHING!”  We’ve all heard it a thousand times, and it is partly true.

If you “work” hard enough, and never give up, you CAN do anything.  But…

Imagine what you can accomplish when you harness the power of a hidden energy that has existed since the beginning – IN COMBINATION with “putting your mind to it”?

Talk about a double-whammy.  The results will amaze you, I promise.

Obviously, I have included another audio interview – I had Ash interview my good friend Robyn – and she has used Magick for almost everything I can think of… Love, Money, Friendship, Removing Curses, Protection, Divination, and on and on…

If you can think of a wish or a desire, I can almost promise Robyn has used Magick in that way.

Anyway, I knew she’d be the perfect one to pose this question to, so do NOT miss that important interview.

I want to use this newsletter issue to put my own “spin” on this question too.

First, let me say, it’s not as easy as snapping your fingers.  No, money won’t grow on tress.  No, you can’t make the perfect person appear in your bedroom out of thin air for a romantic encounter!

It’s not like “Charmed” or “Bewitched”.  That is fantasy.  But…

In many ways the “reality” of Magick is even BETTER than the fantasy…

Witchcraft gives you the very REAL opportunity to connect with something deep within you.  A chance to  bring REAL miracles into your life with the careful focus of this energy on specific goals – specific desires…

Sure, the selfish desires are there.  People use Magick to bring Love and Wealth every day – with success.  But there are even more important uses.

I have seen people cured of disease and sickness.  I’ve seen abusive relationships cleansed of negativity (even if that means “ending” the cycle of the relationship forever). 

…and I have seen Magick used to bring peace and happiness to others, and the world.

You’ll know when your spells work.  You will feel it deep within your heart – you won’t question it, you’ll just “know”.

So to answer the question… your Magick can accomplish anything you can imagine.  If you can “think it”, Magick energy can “achieve it”. 

An Example Of How I Am About To Use Magick – When He Goes Away…

Before I end this newsletter, I’d like to let you in on an up and coming “challenge” in my life… and it’s one that has the potential for a great sadness in my life.  I know there are greater problems in this world than what I am about to share with you – but I just wanted to give you an example of a common use of Magick for many.

I can’t imagine two people in this world being “closer” to one another than me and my husband are.  Of course I love my children more than life, but that is different.

My sweety and I share a very special bond.  It’s one of caring, trust, and the deepest Love.  I think the Goddess every day that I was able to find someone so wonderful – and perfect for me in every way.

Since we’ve been together, we haven’t spent more than a week apart.  That is all gong to change this summer…

He will be going to South East Asia this summer for 6 weeks, and due to my commitments at home, I will not be able to join him on his trip.

That leaves me and the kids here… and a gaping hole in my life.  6 weeks is a long time to be away from him.

It will be a difficult time, but I have already begun planning the rituals and spells I’ll be doing during this time – because I know that Magick can help ease the loneliness I will feel when he leaves.

I have a series of rituals planned that will bring peace and comfort into my heart by creating special bonds between my husband and I.  I will feel as if he isn’t so far away – and sometimes I’ll feel like he’s right there next to me…

I’ll also take some time to recharge my batteries and focus on myself.  I’ll take some nature walks with the kids, do some calming meditations, take beauty baths, and enjoy being with “myself”. 

And… I’ve always believed that true love starts with the love you have for yourself – so I’ll be doing many different variations of self love spells, which really is the “core” of how you feel at any given moment in life.

No matter what happens, if the love for yourself is strong, you can get through anything with flying colors…

…and on that note, I need to go give some of this “self love” to the dogs by taking them for a walk.  It’s a “gray” day, but I look at the positive – nice and cool – a break from the heat we’ve been having here.

Have a wonderfully blessed day, and enjoy the interview!
Brightest Blessings,

Bright Blessings,

Rose Ariadne

Click here to listen to the interview on a special page! (without having to download it)

Dear Friends,

This latest interview clip deals with an issue many people have problems with – and it can be emotionally painful…

There are certain physical ailments some people have that “hurt” their physical appearance (such as acne, and hives). I get many questions from my wonderful subscribers (like you) about how they can use Magick to overcome any condition that hide’s the true beauty we all have inside and out. (and yes, if you aren’t confident about your appearance, it can effect the beauty within)…

When I was in my late teens and early 20′s, I struggled mightily with my physical appearance. I was never looked at as the “cool” girl in school – probably because I honestly wasn’t one of the better looking girls.

I wore thick glasses, had stringy light brown hair – and spent a lot of time alone wondering why I wasn’t being “accepted” by the others. I had 2 friends… which I was thankful for. But a boyfriend? You’ve got to be kidding me. Guys would not give me the time of day.

Oh the trials of “growing up” as a young one. Thank the Goddess for Magick, because things changed quickly for me. Sorry to “get off track” there – but I just want to let you know that I have had my share of problems – and Magick has offered a solution for everything. On with the interview…

Listen to the interview clip (and quiz) below to find out what Magick can do to help (hint: it can help A LOT, and even get rid of the problem forever).

————————-

I have been running behind lately – and because of that, I am going to take a break from my Friday Evening Rant today… (hey, an interview clip is better right?)

There is a very good reason why I’ve been running behind though.

As I mentioned before, Ash and I have been very busy with a special project for you.

And, in just 2 weeks the brand new Witchcraft site will be done! Best of all, it will be a great source of FREE information for all - and a place where you can ask an unlimited amount of questions!

I think you’ll be thrilled with it – and I promise you’ll be the first to know!

Next week… another Witchcraft Interview clip from someone special… (hint: it’s not me talking)

Along with it will be a special newsletter and quiz.

Until next week…

Brightest Blessings,

Rose Ariadne

Have you ever been in a fight?

Not a physical fight, but a very tense arguement with somebody close to you?

It happens to everyone – I have been in that situation many times. And sometimes it takes awhile to heal the rift that sometimes forms between you and the other person.

And the secret of this healing?

You have to let go. You have to get your mind to drop the ill thoughts completely – don’t think about it, or turn the situation over and over in your mind any more.

That is the only way to heal most of these battles with other people – especially if you care for them. Once you have put the situation out of your mind – it isn’t far off that you wake up one day and realize that all of the bad feelings are gone.

Holding on to the ill will is just a way of fighting yourself, and destroying relationships.

And there is a Magick lesson in all of this, of course…

You must learn to let go of every spell you cast – every single time.

Here’s what I mean…

When you have done your ritual or spell, and snuffed out the last candle, and opened your circle – don’t think about the spell ever again.

You have to just “know” and have faith that your desire will appear soon – in many cases sooner than you think.

But one of the biggest secrets to casting spells that work by allowing your Magick energy to have full focus on your desire – is to never think about it again.

You see, when you cast a spell (for example, a Money spell) – and then dwell on it, and even obsess over it for hours, days, even weeks after you cast it – it will almost never work. The reason is that you are actually keeping some of the energy inside of you, instead of releasing it into the universe to work on bringing you wealth and prosperity.

It took me a long time to realize this, but once I did – the lightbulb in my head went off, and I realized what I had been doing wrong all along. I kept thinking about the spells I had cast…wondering when they were going to work…anticipating the fullfillment of all of my desires…waiting…wondering…and NOTHING!

However, when I started to “let go” of the spell immediately after I cast it, amazing things started to happen to me. And they will for you too…

So, learn to let go, and doors will open for you that you never expected.

Blessings,

Rose
