Tuesday, November 29th, 2016 at 7:18am EST enters a New Moon in Sagittarius. Doesn't it already feel a bit lighter? November was totally a WOW month! And I mean that on so many levels. I did say that the SuperMoon in Taurus would definitely shake things up! Think about where you were at the ending of October and where you are now. I can almost guarantee that most of you have gone through changes, upgrades, surprises, and even learned a few lessons here and there. Plus world wide shocking news and events occurring. The SuperMoon is still in progress until end of month. I mean that Full Moon in Taurus was definitely no joke! Even Fidel Castro passed away?! 
But doesn't this New Moon already feel exciting?! I AM excited!!! You should too! Because it will be a month of pure MIRACLES and MANIFESTATIONS! However I must warn you that Mercury Retrograde is around the corner (YIKES!!!) but it can be a positive one if you use it to your advantage. We will discuss that in a bit. For now I will let you know that although MR kicks in on December 19th, the shadow phase starts December 5th. Most of you will feel it then depending on how mercurial your sign is. Thanksgiving morning I went with a friend to donate home baked pumpkin pies and baked ziti to an amazing vegan thanksgiving event hosted by Chilis on Wheels in NYC for those in need of a warm fuzzy meal. Was sooo amazing to give back and the fact that I have friends that love participating with me, makes it even more magical! The more the merrier! Met some special new friends there and mingled with some old ones! This is the season to give give give! Thanks Chilis on Wheels! 
The Sun is in Sagittarius until December 21st, Mercury in Sagittarius until December 2nd then in Capricorn until January 4th, Venus in Capricorn until December 7th, Mars in Aquarius until December 19th, Jupiter in Libra until October 10th, 2017, Saturn in Sagittarius until December 20th, 2017, and Uranus in Aries until May 15th, 2018. 
Well lots to cover and discuss so let's get to itttt!!! Shall we?!!? 

A New Moon represents new beginnings. It's when the moon and the sun align in the same zodiac sign. When a New Moon enters it's the perfect time to write down your intentions with extreme confidence and certainty that everything you are listing will manifest. When you write down your dreams and desires you are setting up the foundation for your future. The universe starts working in your favor once you write it all down. 

ENERGY: 
This New Moon in Sagittarius spells out MIRACLES, LUCK and MANIFESTATION! That's right, you will feel very lucky this month. Find a way to feel grateful for all your blessings even if you feel you are in a challenging situation.
This New Moon wants you to have fun, be adventurous and enjoy life. It brings in an energy and a frequency that will uplift you to the next level. You have to look within yourself to allow yourself to expand your vessel. November was about looking at your environment, situation, and those around you so you could look at the lessons and look within yourself. Fight the ego, and look within. Truly see and ask yourself what can you correct and shift about yourself. 
A good way to find out is ask someone you trust to be honest and tell you three things you should work on. 
If you don't agree or like their response, that's a great indication that they are right. It's important that you expand and stretch your vessel because this month is about giving but also receiving. You want your soul to be prepared to receive the miracles, gifts and answered prayers you have been wishing upon. The more you connect with your subconscious and expand your horizons, the more you will experience synchronicity. The more synchronicity in your aura field the more you manifest! If you've been wanting a new love, believe that this is the month for new love. But you have to make room for that new love! Same with a job or new home. You have to make room for things to flow inwards. If you stand in the way by clinging on to fear, the past, so attached to things and people, you are not allowing room for the new. 

Mercury Retrograde kicks in Monday, December 19th and will remain until Sunday, January 8th. Keep in mind that the shadow phase enters Monday, December 5th and will stay untill Sunday, January 22nd. For those of you who are new to the term Mercury Retrograde, it means the planet Mercury, which is the planet of communication, travel and technology, goes backwards. This means lots of misunderstandings, arguments, computer issues, emails missing, long delays at airport, new iPhone and Galaxy acting up. If you need to buy any electronics it's best to do so now before December 5th. However, you do have an opportunity here to make this Mercury Retrograde a positive one by doing anything that begins with RE. When Mercury is retro it loves to revisit and support anything that has to do with the past. This is the time to reschedule, reflect, repair, revise, reconsider, reconnect, review, rethink, re-communicate, re-do. MR is the time when people and past loves reappear, revisit and want to renegotiate with you. So be aware of that! If you have any projects or documents you started in the past, then under Mercury Retro would be the perfect time to finish it off. Tying up loose ends is what Mercury Retrograde loves! 

Those of you born under the sign of Sagittarius, you already know, you are one of the luckiest people on earth.
Jupiter the planet of gifts and luck governs Sagittarius! So remember this New Moon you can truly manifest and expect miracles but you have to place some action for the universe, G-D and the angels to meet you half way. Go out there and try new things, meet new people, and release all fear based energy and individuals. If they are toxic, let them GO! This month have certainty that new beginnings start NOW! Your new life, new love, new job, new career, new financial abundance is here!!! 

LOVE:
There's lots going on in this department this month!!!! 
Coupled peeps: Some of you are going to really be taking your relationship to the next level. You will be getting married, some of you will be proposed during the holidays, so ladies get your nails did for sure! You will feel like you are flying across the star galaxy and most of you will, because you will be with your one true love. 
Others will be discovering the truth about a loved one. They are wearing a very false mask. That always hurts but something about the way it is going to be revealed will make you realized that you are better off on your own. This will give your room to attract someone new. And most of you already know deep down inside you are in a toxic relationship. Time to let go. Keep in mind this also applies to friendships. So you could find out the truth about a dear friend not being too honest. Let go and forgive. 
A lot of couples are getting frustrated in their relationships but do keep in mind that some of you have to be compassionate with your partner when it comes to finances. Your partner may just not be happy at work and when that happens, you can't expect them to be there to make you happy. If you have a solid relationship, you will get through this with flying colors but if it's a rocky relationship, this may be what you both needed in order to let go and start a new beginning. 
Single peeps: Men get ready to put on your best suit and ladies your best heels, because you will be meeting someone new!!! You will be very very attractive this month. Make sure to feel it though. When you feel good, you attract good people. This New Moon is aligning a lot of twin flames together! The angels are working behind the scenes to attract your twin flame and give you that joy you have been seeking. In order to attract your husband/wife you have to work on yourself. Be the person you want your significant other to be. 
Be loving, be kind, be supportive, be giving, be honest and above all, be YOU! This will attract a new love and new magical friends. You deserve some magic this month and that's exactly what this New Moon in Sagittarius will bring you! LOVE is in your aura field so just smile and receive!!! 

CAREER/FINANCES:
This New Moon in Sagittarius is all about financial abundance!!! Miracles, luck and manifestation is the theme! Can't be stressed out enough. If you are seeking a new career, start looking because it's here. Looking for a new promotion at work with higher pay? You got it! Finances are looking extremely well for you this month! 
For a lot of the entrepreneurs out there, you will be venturing in new business deals that will have you smiling for months. Go ahead and sign those documents. Although if you can push the signing off until after Mercury Retrograde that would be even better. But obviously if you need to sign, just make sure you revise all the wording twice before signing. For those that are thinking about switching jobs or just starting a hobby on the side, know that the angels are supporting you 100 percent. You have to truly trust your journey at this time. Trust that you have the strength to keep on going. Everything you've experienced in your life up until now has made you the person you are today. And you will use that to create a life you have always desired. Go after your dream gig! 
A lot of you will be traveling a lot for work and this will bring you much pleasure, while others will start a new career that involves travel. Some of you will feel the urge to start writing down your emotions which will lead you to become a great songwriter, screen writer and even a book author. Some will start a new blog on your new website and others will be asked to be guest bloggers or even write for your local newspaper and/or magazine. 
There are no limits this month when it comes to switching careers, hiring a new employee, starting a new business venture, expanding your business, submitting for a new promotion, or simply just realizing you want to start a new class. This New Moon in Sagittarius is in YOUR favor. Go ahead and pass go and collect good karma! 

There you have it my bunnies! What a New Moon in Sagittarius this will be! Lots of love, kindness, and healing this New Moon will bring. It's time that as a collective consciousness we all take responsibilities for our actions and create a new life where we are accepting of one another. Kindness and giving should be in your heart this holiday season and every day of the year. Learn to give to others what they wish they could have. When we help manifest a dream for someone, G-D and the angels automatically answer our prayers. This New Moon in Sag is giving us life honey!!!! 
Keep your vision and energy high so you attract higher frequencies from different dimensions that are here to assist you on your journey. Let go of fear this month because miracles really are about to enter your life! BELIEVE!!!!!
You are never too old to make a christmas wish list for Santa!!! Trust me when I say, MIRACLES will happen this month when you BELIEVE! Wishing you all a wonderful, blessed and magical month in Sagittarius!  
May you manifest your dreams!!! BISOUS BISOUS!!! 

Namaste witches, mermaids, unicorns, fairies, starseeds, angels, hippies, goddess and gypsies!!!

Thursday, November 6th, 2014 at 5:23pm EST a Full Moon will be in Taurus while under Scorpio's month! 
This will be a very powerful and instrumental month if you allow yourself to be open to change and set your intentions for the greater good. You have what it takes to co-create the best life you have ever imagined! Everything you desire is yours by divine right. Why not go out there and manifest it?! That's what I've always done, still continue to do and believe me, it's fabulous!
When you make the choice of changing your life by facing your fears, the world around you suddenly changes. That which you feared is no longer part of your journey, you have mastered the test at hand. 
But all ultimately starts with our thought patterns. It's your choice how you choose to think: negative or positive.
Your thoughts send out frequencies to your body, subconscious and to the Universe, therefore those frequencies are returned to you and manifested into your life in this dimension. More about this topic later next week. 
But for now let's get back into the energy of this month and the Full Moon in Taurus!

A Full Moon means the Sun and Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. The Full Moon has a powerful mystical energetic feeling that you experience while under its trance. It could be a good or bad experience but in the end it's always for your highest good! There is always a strong energy surrounding the Full Moon but it can also be a time for balance. Because the solar yang and the lunar yin are in perfect harmony, it's the perfect time to set new intentions and new beginnings. On the new moon you set intentions but on the Full Moon you can receive messages or even guidance regarding your desires you set forth on the new moon. This is the perfect time to act on something you've visualized and desired! By doing such act under the Full Moon you would be bringing an idea into reality, therefore, you've created magic!
A Full Moon symbolizes being emotional, a time for romance, fertilization and relationships.
So remember, the Full Moon is a time for culmination and bringing forth that which you started at the new moon.

This month's energy and astrological transits will be a great support with helping you to become more dedicated to your craft or be a better worker in your line of work. Personal relationships may have moments of out of the blue sincerity, so if there's something you're holding back from a loved one, this would be the time to share the news.
However, be careful about not exposing controversial gossip that's not fully confirmed yet to your friends.
Since Mercury and Jupiter are in a dramatic relationship with one another during Thanksgiving this year, you may experience some tensions in your home department. So make sure to get an energy healing session before the holidays! 

Since this Full Moon is in Taurus and the opposite zodiac is Scorpio here's the energy from this particular Full Moon. 
The energy from Taurus is very feminine, earthy, peace-loving and practical, while Scorpio is very emotional, crisis-oriented and transformative. This tells you that the Taurus Full Moon wants you to find emotional fulfillment through simple things in life, and the Scorpio Sun wants to draw your attention to complex and mysterious things in life.This moon is about finding a balance between receiving and giving. It is also about bringing a lot of passion and creativity to your life. So make the most of it!!! 
This Full Moon also rules home and finances. Are you looking to give your home a makeover? Do you have the finances to do so? Well this Full Moon can help you create the home environment you always desired! 
Possessiveness and/or acquisitiveness could possibly be an extreme urge for: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Pisces. If you want something, know that it's out there somewhere! Manifest it! 
Same feeling for Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Do you truly need what you want? Be clear on what it is you feel you are missing in your life right now. Sometimes what you want is not what you need. 
Call upon Archangel Chamuel this Full Moon in Taurus to help you with all your needs! Archangel Chamuel is the perfect angel to call when you need guidance if you are looking for true love, feeling lost and stuck, need to find money to pay bills or to treat yourself to a luxury, feeling lazy or if you lost a physical item. 

This Full Moon in Taurus you have endless possibilities to co-create and manifest the life you always desired! 
Make sure to start new intentions tomorrow and make the choice of only thinking positive thoughts! :)
You always attract what you are thinking! Why not choose happy thoughts?! 
In the end, you are what you think! 

Wishing everyone a very happy Full Moon and a great magical manifesting month of November!!!

Everyone knows I love a good fairy mermaid witchy story!!! I also love creating magic spells, one in particular which I call Ledabelle's Fairy Dust. I always sprinkle some on my friends when they are going thru rough times or need a parking spot, and I especially use them on my clients so they can manifest their desires! 
Spells of course when used in white light are always fun!!! It's truly a form of using law of attraction and useful for healings as well ;) 
My sister Tammie and I are working on creating tons of different magic spells for everyone to use during New Moons and Full Moons! Stay tuned!!! 

But for now I would love to share one of my favorite spells that my first Reiki teacher Gail Thackray shared! 
Gail traveled to England this past summer and met a modern day white witch from Glastonbury. 
Her name is Witch Willow and she is a practicing witch in England. You can find Witch Willow on a BBC television series called "Witch School"! Love it!!! 
The spell she shared with Gail is called Knot Magic. So let's begin!!! 

                                                                                Knot Magic

The use of cords or strings in magic is very ancient, beginning with the cord magic practiced by Egyptian magicians, to the knot charms used by medieval witches to loose storms. Cords still play a large part in modern day Witchcraft and are used in a variety of form from Handfastings (marriage rituals) and Initiations. A common use is in spell casting.

Cord (or knot) magic is a simple, yet effective way to work magic. The only thing you need to do this kind of magic is a cord of at lease 1 metre (3 feet).  Some Practitioners use a cord or cords that are 9 feet long and are worn about their waists during rituals, and others make a girdle from blessed and consecrated cords worn around their waist to hang their ritual tools from. This cord also becomes another circle of protection.

The principal behind cord magic is simple. You tie nine knots into the cord in a certain pattern, as you tie the knots you are binding your intent, and therefore the spell, into the cord. The cord is usually kept either until the spell has worked or more usually the knots are released one by one over a certain moon time. For example if you want to bring something into your life the knots will be made at a New Moon, the cord would be kept safe and then nine days before the Full Moon one knot per evening would be released culminating with the last knot being freed on the Full Moon itself. If the spell is to banish something from your life then the knots would be tied just after the Full Moon, when the Moon is Waning, diminishing in size, and the releasing of the knots would start nine days before the Dark Moon, culminating on the Dark itself.

Method
First choose the color cord you need for your magical purpose and the Moon Phase best suited to your Magic.

Cast your circle in the usual way and when ready light some Purification Incense if you have some.  Relax your body and focus your intent, ground and centre yourself as you would before any magical working.  Hold the cord in the smoke of the Incense to purify and cleanse it from any past influences. Think about what it is you want to accomplish and infuse it with good energy. Then tie a knot in the order that the diagram shows below. At the tying of the last knot, the ninth, all the energy is directed into the cord and its knots, with a final visualization of the object of the magical work. The power has been raised and is now stored.

With each knot concentrate on the reason you are performing the spell.  It is also advisable to tie a piece of red thread to the second knot you tie to help you remember which order you tied them when it comes to releasing the knots later.

While you are tying the knots remember to keep foremost in your mind you intent and visualise the power starting to rise.

A traditional rhyme is often chanted whilst performing Cord Magic. Each line is spoken when tying the appropriate knot:

"By knot one, this spells begun"
"By knot two, it cometh true"
"By knot three, so mote it be"
"By knot four, this power I store"
"By knot five, this spells alive"
"By knot six, this spell I fix"
"By knot seven, events I'll leaven"
"By knot eight, it will be fate"
"By knot nine, what’s done is mine"

Keep this cord close to you, kept safe within a black pouch or wrapped in black material, until the time is right to release the power contained within. Speak to no one of your spell to keep its power but above all believe in what you have done and it will work.

Although you tied them all at the same time during the same ritual, they must be untied one at a time approaching the correct Moon and over nine evenings, so that the power is released steadily. They must be released in the same order in which they were tied; this is why it was important to mark your second knot.

So, on the first night light some incense and a candle, hold the cord in your hands, again rocking to raise energy and visualizing your intent.  When you deem the time ready, untie the FIRST knot. Place the cord back in its bag and keep close to you.  One the second night, release the SECOND knot in the same way as before, and so on until the night of the correct Moon phase and the NINTH and final knot.  When you are ready to untie this last knot release it with a SHOUT.

Red:
Strength, health, vigour, sexual love, desire, passion, courage, victory, and the colour red also stimulates energy and vitality.
Pink:
Honor, morality, friendship, romantic love and emotional healing.
Black:

I will be using the Success Spell tonight during the New Moon meditation so therefore if you try it tonight that means you want to bring something in to your life! And you are to untie the first knot on Wednesday, October 29th, 2014. 
The ninth knot is to be untied on the Full Moon which is on Thursday, November 6th, 2014.
Remember things to have in handy for your spell tonight:
1. The color cord of your choice.
2. Incense
3. Red string
4. Black pouch or black material
5. Your positive and opened mind

Looking forward to hearing your testimonial on the witchy Success Spell! 
It's all about the power of intention and visualization!!! YAY!
