Sabbat Magic - For the next month, I encourage you to join me and the members of the ATC in planning our goals for the year.

Each year at Imbolc, the ATC witches enchant their garden's seeds with goals that we want to accomplish for the year. Then we watch our garden magically grow the life we want, and feed us good food as well. The hard part is figuring out what you want.

Like all gardens, you cannot delay. Start early and plan well. Join us in planning, and then let's all #replanttheearth with love and desire for Demeter come spring.

You'll see posts coming across the Facebook Event page, feel free to participate. I'm attaching your goal wheel below if you want to print it out and start adding your goals.

Goal Planning - More details

Imbolc is the time in the Wheel of The Year in which we set our

personal goals for the next 12 months. You should start now to

formulate these goals based on the guide below. Give much thought to

these goals, as they will make a difference in the opportunities

offered and the amount of goals accomplished for the entire coming

year. Also, be sure to word them carefully, as you can only manifest

what you ask for. Make statements in the positive, and in the now.

Such as "I am smoke-free", rather than "I will quit smoking"

By saying you "will" do it, indicates that you haven't done it yet.

And no matter what you think, to your subconscious tomorrow never

gets here. If you have questions, please ask the list. There are many

people here , including me, who have done this work, and can help you.

There should be one goal set for each of the 12 Houses of the

Zodiac. If this is too detailed for you, then set goals that make

sense to you, such as one for each element, or just one, if that's

all that you can do. When you have your goals in mind, write them

down and post them somewhere where you will see them every day.

Attached is a sheet that lays out the goals in an astrology wheel.

This is what I use. Then I post mine at my desk, and check them out

about once a month or so.

First House of Self - This goal should be a sacredly selfish,

personal goal, something you want for you, because you want it. You

don't need any other reason. Also could be athletic goals, warrior

goals, or other physical body goals such as work out, join a gym,

loose weight, etc.

Second House of Possessions - This is the house of money and

possessions. It relates to what you own, what you will acquire, your

income and you finances. This goal should reflect on what you want

to spend money. The key word is "want", for example, I own a dependable

vehicle or I have a new dining room suite.

Third House of Communication - This house governs the way you think,

speak, and write. Logic, memory, and manual skills are in its domain.

Relationships with siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and neighbors

fall under the influence of this house. This is the house where you

should list your social goals.

Fourth House of Home - This house governs your home. Your

relationship with your mother falls here. Your current domestic

affairs are under its influence. The goal for this house should

involve the kind of home atmosphere you want for yourself in both a

physical and emotional sense.

Fifth House of Creativity and Sex - This house rules over everything

you do for pleasure and how you express yourself creatively. This

house rules all things to which you instinctively give affection

such as lovers, children, pets, entertainment, amusement, the arts,

love affairs, new undertakings, and games of chance. Your goal could

involve your sexuality and other creative modes of expression (the

offspring of your heart).

Sixth House of Service and of Health - This house rules the

relationships with the people you work with. This house also relates

to your state of health, especially illness brought on yourself by

worry and upset. The goal for this house could be about health

issues, your career, or a charitable service you wish to provide.

Seventh House of Partnership and Marriage - This is the house of

partnerships such as marriage and/or mate, or business and work

partnerships. This house governs your ability to work harmoniously

within all partnerships. This is where you blend your personality

with others to pursue shared goals. Your goal for this house should

be about balancing these partnerships.

Eighth House of Death and Regeneration - Also sometimes called the

House of Spiritual Transformation. It includes the life forces that

surround sex, birth, death, and the afterlife. It may concern

legacies that you receive from the dead both spiritually and

physically. This house also governs debt, taxes, and money belonging

to others. This house governs surgery since it relates to

regeneration. Finally, this house rules psychic powers and

mystically oriented knowledge. Goals should be transformational,

anything from paying off a nagging credit card to learning to

read tarot.

Ninth House of Mental Exploration and Long Distance Travel - This is

the House of The Higher Mind. Under this house falls higher education,

philosophy, and the study of profound subjects. Long journeys such as

these by the mind, as well as physical journeys, are controlled by

this house. Travel to, and business in, foreign lands are covered

here. The Ninth House also rules your public expression of ideas and

it is therefore the House of Publishing and Literary Effort.

Tenth House of Career and Public Standing - All matters outside the

home such as your profession, your status in the community, and your

public reputation fall under the influence of this house. It also

governs relationships with your father. It is called the House of

Ambition, Aspiration, and Attainment. It is an outward expression of

your talents, the way you accept responsibility, and the place you

arrive at through your own efforts. This house has a great influence

on your material success in life. Your goal should reflect how you

wish to be known in public.

Eleventh House of Friends and Hopes and Wishes - This is the house of

long-term dreams, goals, and intellectual pleasures. Your involvement

with groups and clubs falls here. The ability to enjoy other people

and harmonious work within a group that reflects each individual's

personality is reflected here. It is the House of Idealism and

Vision. Your goal should be about your long-term dreams.

Twelfth House of Secrets, Sorrows and Un-doing - This house governs

disappointments, accidents, trouble and self-defeat. It is also

called the House of Karma because it contains the rewards and

punishments for the deeds one commits in the world. It is associated

with psychic powers and the ability to interpret and remember

dreams, and discover the meaning of life. Your goal should involve

religion, dreams, sub-conscious self, past life intuition, things of

a psychic nature, etc.

Once you have your goals clearly stated, it is good magic to plant

seeds at Imbolc that reflect each goal. You can even write your goal

on the pot or label to remind you which plant goes with which goal.

These seeds are then related to your goal, and the growth of the

plant will correspond to the growth of your goal. If you neglect

your seeds and don't nurture them to grow, then you will be able to

see that you may be neglecting your goals as well. If one plant grows much faster than the others, that will also be tell-tale.

This is serious and advanced witchcraft. Figuring out how to blend

the different energies of the zodiac with the different things you

are trying to accomplish in life, sorting them out, putting them

down on paper, and then attaching them to a living magical plant is

a focused act. Be mindful of the wheels you set in motion. The

planting of seeds is a powerful act of magic. Bless the seeds, and

ask them to help you accomplish your goal. Then water and love them,

and make sure they get everything they need to grow into perfect,

large, beautiful plants that you can harvest in the fall. Oh, and

remember to do that to your goals too! ;-)

Here is your printable goal wheel. I look forward to seeing your goals.

Brightest Blessings,
