Reading candle flames and soot!

tall/strong flame: lots of energy; barriers coming down; quick, happy results are likely. small/steady flame: less energy (still good!); positive results likely/may be delayed. stay focused on your goals! small/weak flame: flickering and bending is generally a sign something is not working; timing may be off; asking for something unfavorable; if flame falters and dies, it's a sign your spell won't be granted at this time. high/dancing flame: possible chaotic energy; successful spell, possibly with some complications/other wills may be working against you. rapidly flickering: dims and brightens; spirits are present; usually indicates success and that your message was heard. blue flame: a sign of spiritual presence; higher spiritual beings have taken an interest in your spell; power added to the spell. popping and stuttering: noisy candles indicate that outside forces are present; communication w/spirits; can mean interference or sending a message to you/increase concentration on the spell. flame suddenly goes out: spell has been extinguished by outside forces; usually means spell did not work; sit and rethink/meditate longer. candle won't light: possible wick issue or this spell won't work for your purposes; the outcome is outside your control; try again after reconsidering your intention and cleansing/smudging your space. -- black pieces in wax: (unintentional) black debris signifies unintended consequences; more spell work may be required; karmic baggage/guilt.

Blues is a music genre and musical form which was originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s by African-Americans from roots in African musical traditions, African-American work songs, and spirituals. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form, ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll, is characterized by the call-and-response pattern, the blues scale and specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. Blue notes (or “worried notes”), usually thirds, fifths or sevenths flattened in pitch are also an essential part of the sound. Blues shuffles or walking bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect known as the groove.

The lyrics of early traditional blues verses probably often consisted of a single line repeated four times. It was only in the first decades of the 20th century that the most common current structure became standard: the so-called “AAB” pattern, consisting of a line sung over the four first bars, its repetition over the next four, and then a longer concluding line over the last bars. Two of the first published blues songs, “Dallas Blues” (1912) and “Saint Louis Blues” (1914), were 12-bar blues with the AAB lyric structure. W.C. Handy wrote that he adopted this convention to avoid the monotony of lines repeated three times. The lines are often sung following a pattern closer to rhythmic talk than to a melody.Early blues frequently took the form of a loose narrative.

 African-American singers voiced his or her “personal woes in a world of harsh reality: a lost love, the cruelty of police officers, oppression at the hands of white folk, [and] hard times”.

This melancholy has led to the suggestion of an Igbo origin for blues because of the reputation the Igbo had throughout plantations in the Americas for their melancholic music and outlook on life when they were enslaved. The lyrics often relate troubles experienced within African American society. 

For instance Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “Rising High Water Blues” (1927) tells of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927:Backwater rising, Southern peoples can’t make no time I said, backwater rising, Southern peoples can’t make no time And I can’t get no hearing from that Memphis girl of mine

Although the blues gained an association with misery and oppression, the lyrics could also be humorous and raunchy:Rebecca, Rebecca, get your big legs off of me, Rebecca, Rebecca, get your big legs off of me, It may be sending you baby, but it’s worrying the hell out of me.Hokum blues celebrated both comedic lyrical content and a boisterous, farcical performance style. Tampa Red’s classic “Tight Like That” (1928) is a sly wordplay with the double meaning of being “tight” with someone coupled with a more salacious physical familiarity. Blues songs with sexually explicit lyrics were known as dirty blues. The lyrical content became slightly simpler in postwar blues, which tended to focus on relationship woes or sexual worries. Lyrical themes that frequently appeared in prewar blues, such as economic depression, farming, devils, gambling, magic, floods and drought, were less common in postwar blues.

The writer Ed Morales claimed that Yoruba mythology played a part in early blues, citing Robert Johnson’s “Cross Road Blues” as a “thinly veiled reference to Eleggua, the orisha in charge of the crossroads”.

 However, the Christian influence was far more obvious.The repertoires of many seminal blues artists, such as Charley Patton and Skip James, included religious songs or spirituals.Reverend Gary Davis and Blind Willie Johnson are examples of artists often categorized as blues musicians for their music, although their lyrics clearly belong to spirituals.

Many elements, such as the call-and-response format and the use of blue notes, can be traced back to the music of Africa. The origins of the blues are also closely related to the religious music of the Afro-American community, the spirituals. The first appearance of the blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery and, later, the development of juke joints. It is associated with the newly acquired freedom of the former slaves. Chroniclers began to report about blues music at the dawn of the 20th century. The first publication of blues sheet music was in 1908. Blues has since evolved from unaccompanied vocal music and oral traditions of slaves into a wide variety of styles and subgenres. Blues subgenres include country blues, such as Delta blues and Piedmont blues, as well as urban blues styles such as Chicago blues and West Coast blues. World War II marked the transition from acoustic to electric blues and the progressive opening of blues music to a wider audience, especially white listeners. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock developed, which blended blues styles with rock music.

Venus, AKA out inner goddess, went into her own "Quarantine" and relationships get Karmic.

Venus will be retrograde from May 13 to June 25, 2020.

Venus turns retrograde. Over the next forty days, we're taking a second look at relationships, from how we connect and interact to reviewing and revisiting old patterns. Money and worth are highlighted, too. We need reevaluate our material lives.

When Venus is retrograde, a few classic things can happen. One, we don't know the true value of things, so be careful if making any large investments at this time, especially since Venus is square Neptune. It's considered unwise to purchase assets like a home or property. Further, it's possible that we're not seeing the full picture or caught up in a fantasy or projection of what we really what to see.

Two, an old lover or old relationship theme reappears. Sometimes this is so we can heal or resolve something we were not able to at the time. Or we need to bring conscious to an old pattern that is no longer working, the retrograde giving us a new perspective and push to release. If an ex does reappear, what needs to be resolved? If you're planning to get married during Venus Retrograde, do note that you may have to work on deeper relationship issues with your partner.

It is possible to rekindle an old romance while Venus is retrograde. Lovers and connections from other lives reappear, too, representing a time when old karma can be worked out so that the relationship can begin again from a new place. That said, if you do meet someone during Venus Retrograde and start a relationship, you may have to reevaluate the connection when Venus turns direct. Again, since Venus makes a long square to Neptune during this retrograde, make sure you're seeing reality.

Let's make the best of it ladies ✨😉

In a nutshell: Yes, old dick might come back, even dick from your past lives. 😂🤗

The problem isn't the Cup you are pouring from, look at the Cup you are pouring into. It's broken isn't it? Why are you trying to fill up a broken cup with the best parts of yourself? You were wondering why this cup is never getting full and so you looked back at the Cup you were pouring from. Basically you started questioning yourself.

No one pours into a full cup, so if you decided to pour into another person they must first have room in their cups to be poured into. Did you ever stop and ask yourself why the Cup needed pouring into before you started emptying yourself out? Maybe the Cup didn't need to be poured into quite yet, because it was still broken?

The Cup actually needed to be fixed, before you pour your previous Jewels into it. You can never fill a broken cup, you are only going to drain and then break your own cup in the process. Never pour into a cup that won't pour back into you. Keep yourself Full of your OWN Frequency. Protect your MAGIC. Only fill/feel up empty cups/hearts that are able to receive what you have to offer, otherwise the best parts of you bleed back into the Ocean of NUN. -Magnetic Kundalini-
