This coming Monday, the 19th, is the most auspicious day for magic this month. And the kind of magic it’s auspicious for is father focused. This is the day for Patrilineal journeying and connection, elevating your male line ancestors, working with whatever Father Sky God you might connect to (Jupiter anyone?), aligning with your own masculine energy (or animus), magic for positive masculinity, etc.
It’s all very cis het oriented and patriarchy being as exhausting as it is, perhaps this is giving you the ick. But if you approach it from an archetypical stand point, with the idea that we all have a side of ourselves that expresses these kinds of energy (regardless of whatever parts we may sport in our current meat suits), it becomes more palatable. And indeed, when it comes to ancestral working, biology being what it is, you do have a line of sperm-bearing antecedents.
This will be a particularly interesting exercise for me because nearly all my ancestral work has been with what the witches call the ‘distaff line’ — my maternal line. There are complex reasons for this and I’m aware that it’s a gap that I should work to fill. We’ll see how that goes next week.
If you want to roll with these ideas through sigil work, here are some suggestions:
I am the product of a line of strong men
God (insert your favorite sky daddy here) watches over me and protects me
I balance the energies within to express my full self
I am empowered to embody the energy of Jupiter
I am a king and sovereign over my life
I am jovial, joyful, prosperous, and expansive
Systems of authority look favorably on me
Interestingly, this week also includes the second best day of the month for healing, as well as additional days for Jupitarian workings, prosperity magic, ancestors, etc. There are some weeks that seem to naturally expose magical themes and this is one of them.
Jupiter is my time lord this year, so this is great to know! Thanks! 🙏
