Spheres of influence

“When you want something, cast a spell for something; it does fill your own sphere. You send out fishing lines of energy to see if anyone responds and can help manifest this energy. It’s not like you took out a billboard on the side of Route 66; you are not recruiting for Amway. The energy of your spell is looking for a response and a way to manifest so it will test what and who you know first. Any intention you create needs the connection or influence of another body to manifest.

When you light a candle for love, you need another person to respond, or there is a lot of self loving going on in your sphere. Actually, you probably need a few other spheres of influence to introduce you to that new person.”

When you start to look at (Or if you are a Virgo, you start to chart) all of your relationships you see how they influence you and through that influence can change the course of your life. Imagine if you will, you are a bubble and there are no pins or sharp edges anywhere around you. As a bubble, you are part of a bubble collective and there are bubble all around you. The bubbles that are closest to you put the most pressure on your surface area. If one of those bubbles changes color you reflect that color or even absorb it.

Imagine this collective of bubbles getting larger. (You may be on the stage of the Lawrence Whelk Show) Of course you are in the center of the collective, not even conscious of the outer layers of bubbles. You have never even thought three were bubbles beyond the ones you could see. They did not exist for you. In a freak accident one of the outer bubbles pops from colliding with a sequin on Mr. Whelk’s costume. There is a cascade of bubble popping all around you. Seemly random bubbles are popping, threatening your own perfect balance of surface tension that maintains your bubble state. Do you pop or not pop?

Even though your very existence is threatened, it’s not personal. It is a random act of energy that cascades in your direction without one ounce of negative intention. As the saying goes, sometimes pop happens.

What do you do? You make sure the surface pressure from the bubbles around you is not so intense that one random pop can destroy your world. Make sure you remain in balance and only reflect back rather absorb the colors of another bubble.

In the real world, bubble homicide is not an offence, but you can see how your 7 degrees of separation can be game changer.

To ensure that your surface tension remains in balance make sure you take time out for you. Some quiet time to process the needs and bubble popping conflicts of the people around you – and decide on how much they will influence you. You can’t do that with their chatter in your ears.

Use the following candles every now and again to keep the balance and keep the magic in your life going:

Blessed Herbal Stability & Self Esteem – light that candle as often as you need to while you meditate on your connection with the earth and all of life; understanding that connection keeps you centered in your own body and sphere.

Blessed Herbal Spiritual Cleansing – It’s hard to smell the rose when you are covered in sh*#. Cleanse the expectations, needs and left over energy from others off of you so you can get a grip on your own needs.

Witches Brew Original - Oil, incense or candle, this blend will recharge you batteries and strengthen your surface area (boundaries) for whatever comes next.
