Dear Friends,

This weeks interview is based on a question I received from a woman who feels that nobody finds her attractive – and she couldn’t get a date… and she was asking if Magick could possibly make her “more attractive”.

Whether you have ever felt that way or not (and most of us have felt “less than beautiful” at one point in our lives) it is important to realize that there are many people suffering from this kind of negative energy…

You see, the part of our world that is most visible (shows on television, movies, magazines, tabloids, etc) is extremely materialistic and vain.  With supermodels, Hollywood romances (and breakups), and reality TV which is focused on looks in most cases – it’s no wonder that some of us do not feel “good looking” enough to measure up…

Can Magick REALLY help?

Of course it can!  And in ways you never dreamed.  First, I’d like to discuss the problem – and the solution in a non-Magickal way.

Sometimes with all of the glamour of modern day life, we forget how special we really are.  How unique – and beautiful (and yes, guys, handsome) – we are.  But with all of these messages pounding down on us every day, with images of beauty and glamour (and plastic surgery) – our confidence in the way we look can suffer.  In fact, our confidence in everything we do, can suffer.

The specific person in question – who submitted the question to me – also had another problem.  It appears she was being harassed – and even ridiculed by some of her male coworkers.  So not only was she dealing with the negative energy coming in from the TV shows and magazines – but there were specific people strengthening this negativity – adding a little of their own to make darn sure that her confidence was swept away once and for all!

It broke my heart to hear this, and that’s when I realized something…

It’s easy to let their words manifest themselves into negative energy – and allow it to effect the view we have of ourselves.  But there is an alternative…

DO NOT give the TV, magazines, and people criticizing you any power!  It’s a choice (though not an easy one) we all have.  If you allow the negativity to grow inside of you, you are giving power to those sending that energy to you.

And this, my friends, is the root of the problem.  The non-Magickal solution, of course, is to let these things “bounce off” of you.  Just don’t let them in… ignore them.

This takes some mental strength, and can be a little tough – which is why Magick can help you in so many ways!  Even if you have a positive self-image already, you can build even more confidence – more belief in yourself (and your looks).

There are some very powerful protection spells, “stop slander” spells, and even special love spells that can create wonder, confidence, and absolute miracles for you in my Home Academy… but there is another kind of spell that can help you – and I am going to reveal it to you right now…

Confidence Magick!

There isn’t one thing in life (that I have seen) which Magick can’t fix.  In this case, why not “attack” the root of the problem?  Your confidence… your belief in yourself!

Here is a simple (and harmless) confidence spell you can do that will instantly flood your heart with the knowledge that you are special, and beautiful… and you will truly believe that no outside forces will ever change that.

”Rose Ariadne’s Original, Confident Beauty Spell”

Here is the spell, and it works best when done in the light of a full moon…
1. You’ll need a small hand mirror, the items you normally have on your altar, an extra handle of your favorite color (representing yourself), and a small charm or figurine that you find beautiful (it represents your attractiveness and beauty, both inside and out).

2. Create your sacred spaces, cleanse your area, cast your circle, and all of the other things laid out for you in the Mystical World Of Ancient Witchcraft.

3. Light your deity candles, and as you sit in the light of the candles (and the full moon) begin by looking at yourself in the mirror.  As you are gazing at yourself, focus on all of the positive features you have… don’t let ANY negative thoughts enter your mind.  Look at your skin, your nose, your mouth, your eyes…acknowledge each part of your face and recognize how unique and special each part is.  You came from the earth, you know, and the earth is truly beautiful – how could you be any less?

4. Now, as you continue looking into the mirror, say:

“I recognize myself, Rose Ariadne (or whatever your name is), as being a unique and beautiful person from the tips of my toes to the top of my head – and everywhere inside.”

5. Hold the mirror in your left had, as you light YOUR candle.  Place the charm next to the candle, at it’s base.

6. Tilt the mirror so that you can see your candle, and the charm in it’s reflection.  Now say :

“This candle represents me, Rose Ariadne (or whatever your name is).  And this charm is my beauty on inside and out, that nobody lays claim to but me.  For I am unique and special.  As I see both of them in this mirror of light, so they are both a part of me.  Myself, forever together with my beauty.  No words will change it, no thought disband it.  And so it is.  So mote it be!”

7. Blow out your candles, open your circle, and put things away… all the while think about the spell you just cast, and the feeling of confidence that has welled up inside of you.  Focus on that feeling, remember how it feels, and make a promise to yourself not to let it go… but if you ever falter, and negativity takes hold in you again – this ritual will always be there for you to instantly rebuild your confidence…

May you always feel (and know) that you are beautiful!

I will be taking a much needed vacation this week – exploring our great Earth and the wonders it hides… I’ll be gone for 9 days, but will find some time to do next Friday’s rant. 

I’ll have another Q&A With Rose Ariadne newsletter for you in the week following.  But for now, I need to “recharge” in the caring hands of Mother Earth.

I just wanted to let you know that there won’t be a full newsletter for another 11 days or so…

Until then…

Love And Light,

Rose Ariadne

Click here to download Rose’s “Healing A Broken Heart” interview and special quiz!

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

Dear Friends,

The truth is, most people who turn to a Witchcraft path towards the middle of their lives – do so because of some kind of pain or trouble in their lives.

Most choose the Magick path because of the possibilities for healing, and “miracle bringing”. ;)  And many are able to completely turn things around, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to add an extra “push” to those who need it by offering my life’s work to the world at http://www.masteringmagickwitchcraft.com/.

I am convinced, after years of living, that the most painful thing in this entire world – is that of a broken heart.  Whether you’ve lost a loved one, or had your heart stepped on by a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife – the effects of the pain associated with a broken heart are crippling…

Ash (my computer genius) interviewed me a few months ago, and the topic of using Magick to heal a broken heart came up.  I’ve included the clip for you, and wanted to write this newsletter on the same topic to talk about some of my thoughts on the matter.

The first thing I tell ANYONE who is suffering from a broken heart (and it really is suffering) –i s that the sadness is universal, shared by people in every race, culture, and religious background.

You are not alone.

And you can take some comfort when crying yourself to sleep at night – from the fact that there are others just like you… feeling the pain right now.

This feeling of a shared pain with others can give at least a small amount of peace and tranquility.  But there is still pain to be dealt with.

And that’s where Magick can help.

As I discuss in the interview, the main use Magick has in a situation like this is to help remove the “connection” that exists between you and this other person.  Don’t get me wrong…

I’m not talking about completely severing any and all ties between you and someone you care about.  I’m talking about using Magick to cut away only the connections that cause you the most pain.

You see, there is a “connection” between you and every other person that crosses your path.  It could only be a shared smile between two strangers… but that moment is frozen in time.  The glance, the smile, the friendly hello…

The connection will always be there because the “meeting” of that person – if only for that brief moment, can have a profound impact on your life, and your future fate.

Magick energy is a web of intertwined destinies and events present and past – to try to “understand” it is fruitless, but learning to control it is the key.

And you can focus your Magick energy to sever connections of pain and heart ache.

I’m going to show you a simple spell that can help to end your bleeding heart – but remember, it is important to deal with pain as it makes us stronger… but this spell will help us get to that point.

Even if you aren’t currently suffering a broken heart, maybe you can pass this on to somebody who is… and maybe…. just maybe, there is still some pain inside of you from a broken heart you suffered long ago.  It’s funny how we can push some of the pain back down inside of us, because subconsciously we don’t want to go through the sadness of dealing with it.

So, on with the spell…

We’ll call this one “Rose’s Apple Heart Ache Cleansing”.

STEP 1:  Gather a “diced” apple, honey, and cayenne pepper, along with the things you’d normally have on your altar. 

STEP 2:  Check your Internal and External sacred spaces – and cast your circle by following the DVD’s in the Home Academy or The Mystical World Of Ancient Witchcraft.  (including calling quarters or anything else you wish to invite to this ritual for help) As you are doing this, acknowledge (and think about) the pain you are feeling – but do it from a place of “calm” inside of you.  Think about how the pain is temporary… and how time will heal this wound, no matter how hard it is to believe.

STEP 3:  Light your deity candles, and light a protection based incense (if you have one)

STEP 4:  Lay the diced apple on a plate, on your alter, and cover the pieces with honey, and cayenne pepper.  As you are doing this, visualize that the honey is the “love” connection that you have with the person you are hurting over.  As you sprinkle the cayenne pepper, visualize this as the pain that you are feeling.  Almost “see” the pain coming out from your heart and into the cayenne pepper.

STEP 5:  Check your belief… make sure that in your heart, you believe that you have released your pain into the cayenne pepper – and that, above all, you believe that this spell will release some pain from your heart.

STEP 6:  If you are using incense, visualize the pain and heartache dispersing into the air through the smoke of the incense. 

STEP 7:  When you feel a calmness about you – and are confident you have released some of the bad energies filling your heart, thank your deities, snuff out the candles and open your circle.   Take the diced apples with honey and cayenne pepper and bury them in a hole in the ground away from your home…

When done properly, this spell is extremely effective in helping to “get over” a broken heart.  It’s really the first step in “moving on” and finding Love that is “right” for you.

Repeat this little spell at least once or twice a week at first (or more if you are still having a hard time).  The reason for the repetition is that your “mind” will re-fill your heart with more sadness, and you must continually release the pain…

Matters of the heart are very delicate, and I’d appreciate it if you’d print this newsletter and put it somewhere you can find it – if you ever need it.

I’ll be sending you another newsletter (and interview, if Ash finished the clip in time) this week, and have a blessed day!

Love And Light,

Rose Ariadne

Dear Friends,

I’ve written a lot about Magick and Witchcraft up until this point… with my newsletters, interviews, quizzes, and other posts.  I came up with another idea, and I hope you like it.

I like to talk about other “stuff” that happens in every day life.  And of course, it always relates back to Magick somehow.  Anyway, what I’ve decided is this…

Every Friday evening, I’ll be making a new post in a series I call “Rose’s Friday Evening Rant”.  Some posts will be long, and some short.  Sometimes I’ll discuss Magick, and sometimes I’ll complain about my kids… ;)

But I really like bonding with you all, and I love the comments you’ve been giving me on my other posts.  So this will be a good way that we can all communicate together and share stories.  I feel the “Rant” will be different than the newsletters, in that I’m able to go on tangents, talk about the weather, or whatever!  There are no rules for any of us…

So, consider this the first Friday Night Rant!  And before I wrap it up, I just want to tell you, I saw a wonderful movie tonight called “North Country”.  It was depressing, but touched me deeply.  Anybody seen it?

Well, I have another newsletter and interview coming up this week, so be looking for it….

Love And Light,

Rose Ariadne

Your Warm And Caring “Resident Witch In Charge”

P.S.  Look for my Friday Evening Rant every single friday around 4pm PST…

P.P.S. And by the way, I’ll soon have Ash put up “AskRoseAriadne.com” which will be a free website where you can ask any Magick and Witchcraft questions until your hearts desire…not every question will be answered, but most of them will be – and it’s going to be easy for you to ask, and easy for me to answer… you’ll see!

Dear Friends,

I have been getting all of your wonderful emails and comments from around the world – and I have noticed a lot of them are questions… then it dawned on me…

Why not have Ash (my computer guy) create a different website that is designed – so that it is easy to just ask a question right on the website? 

So you could use the simple form to type in whatever Witchcraft question you have, and then I go ahead and answer it (all free of course).  Obviously, I won’t be able to answer all of them, but it would be a great way to answer many of them… and the best part is…

The question, and the answer will appear on the website, FOREVER… so you’d all be able to use the insight given – and you could all even “search” for questions and answers…

Does that sound like something you’d be interested in?  Please tell me your thoughts by using the blue “comment” link below…

Brightest Blessings!

Rose Ariadne

Click here to download Rose’s “Q&A With Rose Ariadne 2″ newsletter and special quiz!

 

Dear Friends,

I must tell you the last few days after the release (finally) of my life’s work have been a complete blur.  Phone calls, emails, questions… but it’s been great!  I love hearing from all of you.

And really, that’s the main reason I decided to create this blog, and my other websites.  I have longed for the days when I could create a Witchcraft community like this – where everyone can be a part of something… bigger.

In keeping with the spirit of the past few days of excitement, I’d like to share with you some questions I have been getting from around the world in my second “Q&A With Rose Ariadne” (and if you say that right, it rhymes… ;)  )

Oh, and before I start – just in case you hadn’t heard about my book being complete, and my life’s work finally getting done…

You can get your complimentary copy of my book here:

http://www.rose-ariadne.com/mystical/mysticalworld.htm

And you can read all about my finally completed life’s work here, it’s not for everybody – but there is sure a lot of excitement about it:

http://www.masteringmagickwitchcraft.com/

And one more thing before I get started… I found A LOT more interviews that had been done (that I completely forgot about)!  Ash had interviewed me a few months ago, along with a few more very experienced (and interesting!) Witches.  I am going to have Ash begin preparing the clips so that I can send them to you… along with a quiz and newsletter for each one.  So be looking for them!

Ok, on with the “Q&A With Rose Ariadne”. …
————————————————————————————————
QUESTION #1:

The first question is from Carol….

“Hi Rose, do you have any spells for lasting friendship? I  keep making the wrong decisions about the people I choose to become friends with.  I want to meet some nice sincere people for true friendship and not people who use me.

Thank You,
 Carol”

Merry Meet Carol!

It is so true that good friends (TRUE friends) are very hard to find in this world.  And also, make sure that when you find them, you hold them close to your heart… appreciate every day, every moment you spend with them.  Friendship is a delicate and beautiful thing.

The truth is, I have some advice (as always…) – and yes, I have a something you can try Magickally to help.  It will open the doors of friendship in your future, indeed.

First, it is important for you to open yourself to receive friendship.  At first, it should be a conscious effort to look people in the eye whenever you have a chance (as long as you don’t STARE… ;)  ) – whether it’s in the mall, walking down the street, at the grocery store, or anywhere else. 

Opportunities to meet new people are around us every day.  Unfortunately, many of us are so caught up in our own lives and problems – and we miss a lot of opportunities to meet wonderful people… and we don’t even realize it.

So, first you must open your arms to people – give them a friendly “hello” when you normally wouldn’t have before.  You’ll be surprised by who you meet…

Now, here is a special powder you can use to speed things up a bit – to open doors of friendship in your very near future…  Rose Ariadne’s “True Friend” powder.

Set up your altar as normal, and cast your protections (if you don’t know how to do this, make sure to grab my book :

 http://www.rose-ariadne.com/mystical/mysticalworld.htm

As you sit in the light of your candles, grind the following up in your mortar and pestle (or in a bowl with a spoon if you don’t have a mortar and pestle):

 Rosemary leaves
 Dried sage
 Salt
 Sugar

Grind all of these things into a fine powder.  While you do this, visualize the qualities of your perfect friend.  How will your friend make you feel?  What kinds of things will you talk about?  What is your friend’s demeanor – is he/she funny, emotional, happy, etc?

Visualize these qualities until you can almost feel them…When you are done grinding your ingredients, open your circle, thank your deities, and clean up your altar.  Put the powder in a safe place…

Every time you plan on going out (into town, or anywhere where there will be other people) rub just a little of this powder between your hands, and sprinkle a little bit on your shirt…You’ll be amazed at who shows up…

I hope this helps Carol, and remember – once you have found some wonderful friends, nurture that relationship.  Spend time with them… it’s the most valuable resource in the world.  Time.

Bright Blessings,
Rose Ariadne

————————————————————————————————
QUESTION #2:

This next question is from “Yoda”…

“Rose Ariadne,
Could you please explain to me how to make my own voodoo dolls, what kind of herbs do I put in it and what not. I want to make a doll to bring back the love of my life….. Please help.

Many thanks.

Blessed be,
Yoda”

Hello Yoda!  I must admit, this is a very hard question to answer in a public “forum” like this newsletter.   I definitely understand your point of view though.  I prefer to call them “Poppets”, and when used properly, they can yield very powerful results.

That’s why I have to back off a little bit and not answer your question completely.  You see, Poppet Magick can be misused, and it can be harmful to you, and the person you use it on if you are not careful.

That’s why I can’t go into full detail about how to make a poppet in a public newsletter, because I don’t know your experience level, your intentions, or how you plan to use this knowledge.  That’s what my private teachings are for (and I teach a LOT of Poppet Magick in my Home Academy).

But I will tell you some herbs you can use that are effective in matters of the heart, love spells, and even Poppets.  But first, a little something to think about…

Loosing someone you Love brings an inexplicable sadness.  The more we Love, the more we loose.  And your heartfelt sadness is a universal emotion, shared by many.  People get broken hearts every day, and most recover and are better for the experience.  I would never advise anyone to attempt to influence someone to Love you, who has made the decision to go on… please think about what you desire, and then think about if it isn’t best to move on with your own life.

It may not seem like it yet, but there are wondrous things ahead of you – but only if you make the decision to move on for yourself… you’ll be happy to see what life has in store for you.

And now, for some “love drawing” herbs you can integrate into your Poppet Magick and any other Love Spells…

Ambergris – awakens love and emotion
Apple Blossom – love and friendship
Balm of Gilead – for new love
Cherry – for love
Cinnamon – lust and love
Clove – lust and love
Clover – for love
Damiana – lust and love
Ginger –love

…and many more.  See if you can use some of the above herbs for use to open the doors of love in your life, Yoda.  I’d recommend a ritual to help you get over your heartbreak, and open doors of new love into your life (but it is important to complete the grieving process, so you can start fresh and pure)…

I hope this helps, and I’m sorry I can’t go into more detail about how to cast Love Magick with Poppets, it’s a very touchy subject…

Love And Light,

Rose

————————————————————————————————
QUESTION #3:

The final question for this issue is from Artz…

“Hello Rose,

I wanted to ask you if by chance, do you have special kinds of spells used for money, like attracting, or winning, or coming into money. I was wondering about that.  I have been trying to think of ways, that would help me out instead of living on a tight budget, to have some luck to getting me to where I would like to be right now. Do you have any spells that would give me the luck that I need to winning a lottery.

Please, do write back to me and let me know, O.K.,

Artz”

Merry Meet Artz,

Wow, so ambitious!  That’s good, but casting a spell to win the lottery is quite a stretch.  I’ll put it this way, if every Witch experienced in Magick use could cast a spell to win the lottery – we’d have a bunch of Witchy millionaires running around. ;)

But, of course there are a lot of different spells and rituals you can to do open the doors of wealth and success in your life.  But let me stress something…

It is possible that Money spells “can” hurt others around you.  For example, let’s say you cast a spell for money, without really thinking about possible consequences… shortly after people that you love perish in some sort of accident, and you get the inheritance… or something like that.  A morbid thought I know, but something that must be considered.

That’s why, at the end of each spell you cast, you should say… “An it harm none”.  To make sure that the results you desire will not hurt anyone else in accomplishing your goals.

There are many people struggling with money issues, and many ways to end the money worries with Magick.  Just make sure to “let your spell go” once you have cast it… don’t think about it, or wonder if it will work.  Just know that it will… and then go about your life, and put some effort into changing things for yourself…

And the money Magick you sent out into the cosmos will bring you all you desire, and more… and it will happen in surprising ways that you never guessed…

Here is an easy and harmless spell you can practice, so you can start seeing some results – which will increase your belief in your Magick for future spells…

This is an older beginner spell, but it has worked wonders for many.

Here is what you need:

A coin of each denomination (penny, nickel, dime, quarter)
Dried corn
Sesame seeds
Cinnamon sticks
Cloves
Allspice
Pecans/Peanuts
A bottle

Set up your altar with money drawing incense and some green candles (along with the other items normally on your altar). 

Cast your Magick circle and sit down to begin your spell work.

Place each item into the bottle one at a time, and each time you put something into the bottle, think about a different way that you could possibly come upon some money.  Visualize these things happening as vividly as possible.

Once everything is inside of the bottle, shake it 5 times and say…

“Money seeds I saw today,
Bring the money like a sunlight ray,
From far and wide I call you here,
Money, Money, I hold you dear…”

Open your circle, and clean up your space… keep this bottle in your room around where you normally keep any money you have.  Let the spell go, and go about your life…

That’s all for now, and this spell should put you on the right path to money, success, and wealth… but don’t get lazy, and sit back and wait for it to happen!  Get out there and allow the Magick to work!

Bright Blessings Artz,

Rose Ariadne
————————————————————————————————
In the next issue, be ready for another interview… Ash is busy pulling it together as we speak… I can’t wait to share it with you.

Until next time…

Love And Light,

Rose Ariadne
