Blessings and Powers of the Witch: Success in Love
One of the Powers of the Witch, success in love, falls under Libra ministry, which is ruled by Venus.
Many individuals have been raised in abusive homes, were in domestic abuse relationships, been bullied, or encountered other situations where they were told they were not “good” enough. Success in love starts with self-love and acceptance.
If one is centered and balanced in one’s own reasonable self-love, one is far more attractive to others. As for a specific “other,” the norms of ethics for a witch should apply.
Libra Ministry Balance Ritual
The Libra Ministry Ritual is a ritual of balance for the community and beyond into the world, using the powerful image of the sword and the stone, the union of the air and earth elements to embody the sovereignty of the gods and land with the people. It is an evocation of balance and mediation in the Temple, calling upon the guiding spirit of the Libra Ministry, and to the Temple air animal guardian the Crow, and the manifestation of the red ray guide as the Sovereign, the just ruler and mediator of balance. This is ideally to be done when the Moon is in the sign of Libra.
The Ritual of Balance can be found on the Temple Initiates’ Facebook page, from Mystery School teachers, and by emailing the Libra Ministry at [email protected]. Please provide your current Mystery School level and teacher’s name when you email.
To contact the Libra Minister, please e-mail [email protected].
