Hiya! This weeks Spellwork Sunday, we are focusing on working with the incredible Egyptian Goddess, Ma’at for restoring justice in our times of need. Ma’at was the goddess of truth, justice and the universal order of life. Ma’at, wasn’t just the goddess of these concepts, but was the embodiment of them and therefore was seen to be above the ideas of right and wrong because she IS the truth, and nothing is stronger than truth! We can invoke her in times when clouded judgements may be a factor tempering with our rulings or decisions!
Time / Planetary Hours:
This ritual and spell may be done at any time, under any cycle, being that Ma’at was the goddess of universal order, she controlled the seasons, and all astrological events, thus allowing us to invoke her at any time.
Altar Decor Setup & Suggestions
You can create a simple altar for this, or make it as lavish as you want. Whatever holds importance for your spell is up to you!
An ankh and a scale (both were her sacred correspondent symbols)*
A piece of paper, papyrus paper would be best suited, but not needed.
A bottle of ink.*
Any of her sacred plants and herbs like Rose, Frankincense and Aloe.
* You can find these at any new age, arts & crafts, or many home goods stores. It should be noted that you can make your own ankh, by drawing one out or making one out of clay!!
Simple Steps and Procedures
On the candle, use the tip of the feather to inscribe your candle with Ma’at‘s hieroglyph, the feather, and her name.
Clean off tip of feather so that no wax residue lingers, and dip quill into the bottle of ink.
On the piece of paper, write out the name of person, or situation that you believe justice needs to be brought to.
Say aloud
I call you now, our dearest Ma’at For your justice, can expel our clouded thought Restore order to the situation at hand
With harm done to none, who take to the stand
Now, light the paper with the candle flame and burn.
Save the ashes and take them outside. Let them blow away as you envision Ma’at with her wings stretched out carrying away injustice, and restoring truth.
Thank Ma’at for aiding in your time of need. It is done!

This Full Moon is in the fixed air sign of Aquarius. This quirky, social, fun-loving sign is all about seeing the bigger picture. Often confused for a water sign, it's an intellectual air sign. Known as the water bearer, not for its emotions per-say, but merging the collective energies and emotions with the great collective. The Star card in the Tarot represents Aquarius. This is the card that comes shortly after The Tower and is seen as welcomed peace and serenity after a crisis. It's safe to say this Full Moon may deliver us a bit of sweet and salty emotions. Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius, and in the case of this Full Moon is the start of...
August is a month where I encourage everyone to slow down and cool their jets. The intensity of the planetary aspects will only increase as the month goes on. Take your time when traveling places, or making significant decisions. Steer clear of any conflict, and steer clear of going toe to toe with someone. Tempers are likely to flare, and some of the most dangerous and unexpected things can take place. This will be due to transit Mars's squares causing friction with Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto.

The month kicks off with Mercury the messenger in opposition to Pluto on the first. This will bring about intense conversations, and possibly some juicy information. Shortly after, Mercury will oppose Saturn in Capricorn as well, indicating some new set of rules or regulations being rolled out. This is just in time for
The word Leo is derived from the Greek word leon meaning lion. The constellation can be seen in the sky as a Lion bearing Regulus, the royal star that is closest to the sun along the ecliptic making it one of the most powerful fixed stars in the sky. In ancient Egypt, several gods and goddesses were depicted with lions heads such as Mahees, and Sekhmet, the son and daughter of the Sun god Ra sent to attack evils and commit honorable acts of sacrifice.
