A Note from Mona Magick
When I first put up my site in 2003 with only 4 pages it was just a method of expression not to mention a presence on the internet. Today it's grown to be a mini hub of information that I work to keep both very informative and interesting. In the upcoming months I will introduce more esoteric and occult philosophies as I feel it's time to shift to a deeper level of what I currently have online. Within my newsletters, I'll bring back the Monthly Spells and Q&A of the month due to popular demand. Overall, I aim for all to enjoy, and or learn adding just what you need for what ever journey or path you're on.

Blessings,
Mona Magick

Women of Forbidden Fruit
by Mona Magick
I thought to dedicate this month's newsletter to the women in the world of Occult both past and present. Granted next month I will dedicate to men - for purposes of energies I thought it would be appropriate to focus on them separately. Keep in mind that I am well aware of the many women in today's society that have contributed vastly, to a higher consciousness of spiritualism and the occult - in fact too many for a newsletter. So I have focused on 3 main special women that have changed many lives:

Helena Blavatsky
Founded the Theosophical Society in New York City in 1875, the Society's principal founders were Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the first Russian woman to be naturalized as an American citizen, and Henry Steel Olcott, a prominent lawyer and journalist who became the first President of the Society. Madame Blavatsky was a Russian of noble birth, whose mother was a social novelist and whose grandmother was an accomplished amateur scientist. Read more here >>

Marie Leveau
Born in the 1790's, Marie daughter of a white planter and a Creole woman. She moved to New Orleans in her youth and was raised a devout Catholic - later becoming friends with Pere Antoine, the chaplain at St. Louis Cathedral. At the age of twenty-five, Marie joined a local freeman Jacques Paris in what was by all accounts a happy marriage. Later after his disappearance and presumed death, she lived with Cristophe Glapion. Between the two men, Marie bore fifteen children including her daughter Marie who it is said, bore a striking resemblance to her mother and eventually became a Voodoo priestess as well.

Dion Fortune
Born Violet Mary Firth and better known as Dion Fortune, was a British occultist and author. Her name was inspired by her family motto "Deo, non fortuna" (Latin for "God, not fate"). Violet grew up in a household where Christian Science was rigorously practiced. She reported visions of Atlantis at age four and the developing of psychic abilities during her twentieth year, at which time she suffered a nervous breakdown; after her recovery she found herself drawn to the occult. Her first magical mentor was the Irish occultist and Freemason Theodore Moriarty. In 1919 she was initiated into the London Temple of the Alpha et Omega before transferring to the Stella Matutina order. Read more here >>

Lunar Magick
The lunar phase is important in determining the best time for magick. There are basically two lunar phases: waxing moon (ideal time for positive magick) and waning moon (ideal time for banishing/negative magick, study, and meditation). In between you'll have the dark moon (the time of greatest power for banishing and negative magick) and the full moon (the time of greatest power for positive magick)

• NEW MOON MAGICK (from the day of the New Moon to 3 1/2 days after) Timing: The magick should be performed between dawn and sunset for the best use of this magick. Conjuring: beauty, health, and self-improvement;farms and gardens; job hunting; love and romance; networking
  
• CRESENT MOON MAGICK (from 3 1/2 days after the new moon through the 7th. day) Timing: The moon rises at mid-morning and sets after sunset. Conjuring: animals, business, change, emotions, matriarchal strength
  
• WAXING MOON (1st quarter)) Magick (from 7 to 10 days after the new moon) Timing:Sunset is the prime time for waxing moon magick. Conjuring: courage, elemental magick, friends, luck, motivation
