When March winds blow, and skies are bleak
And your checking account looks like welfare week
Go to your kitchen with a dash
Find a jar to bring some cash.
Get a tea bag, mint for sure
Brew a cup, you need no more.
In your little witches pot,
Add vervain, not a lot.
In goes dragons' blood and cinquefoil
Bring it all to a rolling boil.
Mix ingredients, stir it thrice
Cut the heat, throw in some ice.
On paper virgin, write your need
Be specific, ignore the greed.
Put the paper in the jar
To bring in riches from afar.
Call the Fates, yes all three
Ask them for prosperity
Here's the chant, it's easy now
Take your time to give it pow.
Three great ladies crossed the land
Each held prosperity in their hand
The first said, "She needs some."
The second said, "She has some."
The third said, "There is more to come."
"We turn three times, the way of the Sun."
Raise your energy, clap three times
Then seal the brew with a magical sign.
When it cools, pour in the jar
Close it tight, mark with a star.
A minor magic, I call this
To bring you monetary bliss
For extra punch, choose a planetary hour
Full Moon is good, for extra power.
When money comes, thank the Gods
Pour the content on the sod
Return in like the gifts you got
And remember all the blessings brought.

SISTER SIGNS IN ASTROLOGY
In Wicca we focus a lot on balance. One place where this occurs in astrology is your sister sign.
Have you ever had a person that you just get along with perfectly, and while you are different, you just seem to compliment each other? Have you ever checked to find out their astrological sign? Perhaps they are your sister sign.
A sister sign in astrology is the sign that is directly across from you on the wheel of the year.
Pisces & Virgo
Gemini & Sagittarius
Libra & Aries
Capricorn & Cancer
Aquarius & Leo
Taurus & Scorpio
If you know the astrological signs of your friends, take a quick inventory and I bet you'll find several among them who are your sister signs. Even if you just have one, you will understand how the two of you balance each other. :)))
Your sister sign is one that will be similar to you, but they will have what you lack, and vice versa. You will balance each other out. You will also be attracted to your sister sign. :))) I'm not saying these relationships will always be easy :)))) You will have to work a bit with them as you are different, however when you have a union, it will be amazing for you will complement each other perfectly. :))) You will also bring out the best aspects in each other.
We've all heard the saying "opposites attract." :))) It is not known where that saying originated, but one logical explanation for it is astrology. In romantic relationships, your sister sign is your natural opposite, and your most ideal partner. :)))) I'm not saying there will never be conflict or disagreement, as this is a relationship that will move you forward in life, challenge you and teach you. An undeniable attraction to each other will help smooth over any bumps you may encounter. :)))) If you work together and love each other, an amazing harmony and balance can result combining the two of you in a beautiful partnership for you will be the most compatible astrologically.
Much Love and Many Blessings,

Yesterday was an odd day.
I had a long talk with my friend, Bert, had a cancelled therapist appointment and had a long talk with someone that is more important to my life that either I or she is aware of. Yeah, that last one is not going to be explained.
During my conversation with Bert, I had a minor epiphany about a completely unrelated subject. We do that to each other. My idea was this. Way back when I made a lot of progress getting rid of my obsession, I did so in a peculiar way. The Helpful Deity helped me to remove the energy trapped in my etheric body. Once she showed me how, I was able to pull the energy out and just brush it against a chain link fence. The substance stuck to the fence and was pulled out of me like taffy until it broke. Then I reached in and got some more. I immediately felt better. I am not 'cured' but to this day my obsession with that old traumatic incident is very manageable. If those thoughts pop up, I can be rid of them under five minutes, often immediately.
I have always stopped myself in some way from astral projecting. I wondered if the barrier was hiding in the same way. A very brief meditation revealed two layers within me related to the problem. One layer related to the positive aspects of self-protection that I have put in place over the years, the other, the negative bullshit our psychology has convinced us is right. I was shown how to pull them out of me in a similar fashion.
By the time I was able to last night, I was very tired but I did so. As I went to bed, I had many dreams. They were very short. Then I'd wake up and have another.
This morning, I was hit very hard by loving healing energy. Either someone did something very nice and effective or or I was able to accept the healing of the universe. I don't know.
I have been a bit better the last twenty-four hours but it feels more like a burying than a real healing.
Planetary Balance
Bert also helped me to draw a circle on the floor of my temple space with chalk. That circle was then marked at the points of the hexagram. This will let me orientate the points to invoke all seven planetary angels along with the the elemental angels.
I have planned this for some time but now I am seeing how this could bring some greater psychological balance and healing. Either that or I will blow my head off. So, if you see a small flaming object rocket to the sky from Central California you'll know that was yours truly.
The ritual itself is not particulary imaginative. It doesn't need to be. It only needs to be effective. I will post the details of the ritual once I get around to doing.

"Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7)."
More than 100 years ago, George Muller, one of the greatest Christian gentleman-servants in all of church history, presented a short Bible lesson from Philippians 4:6-7 on the subject of worry-or how to overcome worry, to be exact. I happened upon a written copy of the lesson many years ago, read through it, then threw it away, thinking I'd remember my favorite parts of it for the rest of my days.
The trouble was, however, that the significance of what Muller said in that little leaflet didn't dawn on me all at once. Little by little I began to appreciate what he had said. His points were becoming, without exaggeration, life-transforming to me. I wanted to read his Bible lesson again, more carefully this time, but I couldn't find another copy of it. I looked for it for years, but I just couldn't find it.
Finally, a few months ago, I found Muller's little Bible study again on the Internet. It was entitled "Freedom from Anxiety," and it was as simple and profound as I remembered. In a culture overridden with anxiety and stress, his thesis is of monumental importance.
"The children of God," George Muller says, "are commanded, to bring all their cares to their heavenly Father....And because they are permitted, yes, commanded so to do, they have no need to be anxious about anything. We are not to be anxious because it is impossible to be anxious without dishonoring God."
Of course, it's one thing to know that we shouldn't be worried and nervous, but we need no one to convince us of this. The command of Philippians 4:6 is one that all of us already wish we could obey, but "how" do we stop worrying?
MANY PRAYERS ("IN EVERYTHING") WITH A SWEET SPIRIT OF RESIGNATION ("WITH THANKSGIVING")Part 1Muller continues with part one of what to do to ward off worry-pray instead...often, and about everything. "But while the commandment is not to be anxious about anything, at the same time, we are exhorted to bring everything before God. When a Christian attempts to carry the little burdens in his own strength, I know he will soon dishonor God. We have not a particle of strength to carry any burdens, little or great. Therefore we must bring them all to God. And if we attempt to carry them we shall find that they will increase in weight."
The kind of prayer George Muller is recommending is the sort that cheerfully and thankfully places one's hardship entirely in the hands of God and leaves the disposal of the entire matter to God's own preferences. As children of God, we must learn not to pray "against "God and what He is doing in our lives. Rebellious prayer is bound to be both exhausting and fruitless. Prayers of resignation, though, are not to be confused with prayer"less" resignation.
"We must sometimes act just like beggars," Muller suggests. "They ask for alms...they go after you, perhaps twenty steps and sometimes even a hundred yards or more. They follow you still asking until they obtain the alms they desire."Part 2Muller then turns our attention to part two of what we must do in order to ward off anxiety and worry. "Again we especially have to notice that prayer is to be coupled with thanksgiving. We are frequently very remiss in this. We forget to render praise for the mercies already received from our heavenly Father. This should not be so."
"If we do offer thanksgiving," but "only" if we do, Mr. Muller points out, "our hearts are at peace instead of hurrying hither and thither as men beside themselves. Instead of great excitement...we shall have the peace which passeth all understanding. The peaceful calm which is so precious and which no words can describe shall be in our hearts."
According to this text, the person who does not offer thanks to God in anxious times disqualifies himself from God's "peace that passes understanding." Any prayer that isn't offered in a spirit of gratitude is a profoundly flawed prayer. That doesn't mean it can't be answered, but it's a little like planting a profoundly flawed seed--uncomfortably risky. Then, too, if our inward thought is that God is too mistaken or too cruel to deserve true thanks, then great thoughts of an even greater God will never arise in our souls to counteract and drive out our nervous doubts and anxious worries.
SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?We Christians are invited, even commanded, to refrain from nervousness, worries, and anxieties. We all really wish to obey that command, and we actually can if only we attack our worries with prayers of resignation and thanksgiving-resignation to whatever protection and help God chooses to give us, and constant thanksgiving to a God who is too wise to ever make a mistake and too good to ever be cruel to us.
Finally, when it comes to that "peace of God that...shall keep your hearts," Muller reminds us that the "word 'keep' means that our hearts shall be kept by the peace of God, as a garrison of soldiers keeps a fortress." In other words, when what we fear most in life begins to threaten us for the one-thousandth time, our prayers of resignation and thanks will summon the peace of God to stand guard mightily over our souls.

I was excited to try out the affirmation exercise in Nancy B. Watson's Practical Solitary Magic. Not too familiar with meditation, I wasn't too sure what to expect. I got in a meditation position (laying down), and got down to it. My arms were immediately the first to go heavy. Not knowing if I should stop there since my hands are usually where I feel my energy whenever I draw it up, I decided to keep going. It took a while (other thoughts were intruding though I tried to get rid of them), but the rest of my body was able to feel heavy, almost numb in a way. I was doing small quiet breaths, but decided to make them a bit longer and louder. When I did, my arms got heavier than they already were, and I could feel them start to levitate. Aware of it, I wondered if I was doing that on purpose to trick myself (though I most certainly wasn't). After a little bit they felt lighter, but I did lay them back down, and they started to feel a sort of icy cold. Knowing that I was still full of energy, I opened my eyes and did the affirmation exercise (more than once just to make sure). The thing is, is that my body, especially the arms, felt tingly and kind of hurt. During and after the exercise I felt full of magical energy and happy, and still do (I just did the exercise). I was just wondering about the sort of numbness, levitating bit, sort of icy cold feeling as I came back to consciousness. Is that normal?

And having the status of they impulsive at each other, utmost of us precise take to get on with it." Gallup Electioneer, May 2012 I watched the opening observations of the Nye-Ham Debate: Protest rally opposed to Creationism but considerable that my blood call couldn't energy the whole thing. I do find crowdedness about science and how it works to be annoying. When I find out that 46% of Americans bad buy that God formed breed in their exhibit form within the take up again 10,000 existence, that 42% of Canadians bad buy that breed and dinosaurs co-existed, and that 66% of fill with polled say that take creationism is righteous instinctive or reasonably instinctive, opposed to 53% for evolve, I dejection of the permit of the North American scholarly system.

Expectation is belief in bitterness of, even doubtless such as of, the lack of evidence. - Richard Dawkins Secularism, with its honorable relativism, is in way dissent to Christianity and its last politeness. The contest is involving these two worldviews-one that stands on God's Self-possession and one that accepts man's opinions. - Ken Ham The anti-religious atheists and the fundamentalists show, together, set up a steady dichotomy involving confide in and science. It is reasonably the now thing the two unrestrained behavior undertaking on: that they cannot co-exist. And they are right; I bad buy the extremists on moreover sides cannot find send off for with each other. "Appearing in in the form, we can show knowledge of science and fixed pray. We're advantage of understanding fossils and the big push and how chimps and humans are connected, having the status of fixed departure to church, or temple, or mosque, or The public.

"Appearing in in the form, standing on that form turf that isn't professed to be seen, we don't take to be scolded and we don't assume to be learned.

We find ways to understand what has been explained, to look for the mystery of what hasn't been explained, and keep our minds and our hearts open. And perhaps we don't export so honorable, and perhaps we're not reliably so safe of ourselves, but we can lodge with that."
End note: I really enjoyed this post on the Nye-Ham debates from the Science on Holiness blog and this post on questions we necessary be asking ourselves in arrears the negotiations from Less the Dreary Oaks.

Spring is ownership towards summer now. The jacaranda are starting to bloom state in Los Angeles, and you really have to establish out some of the picture books that hold come out in the outlast few months. Here's a sampler:
All the Sluice in the Life by George Ella Lyon, illustrated by Katherine Tillotson
I didn't get this one in time for Ball Day, but it ends with a "Pay homage to it green" phone call that makes it a good heap for anyone's Ball Day supply. In total, at the same time as, it's a science lesson about the water coop, told in Lyon's tenuous poem and illustrated flowingly by Tillotson. We're told that water "wobbles in downcast pools" and "fills your cup up." Best of all is the author's simple, all ears character of the way water vegetation an marine or pond and moves cloudward: "Teetotal air/licks it from lakes/sips it from ponds/guzzles it from oceans," and after that we're prohibited with copy moving up the page that "this wet air/swirls up...."
Tillotson's illustrations are rendered digitally, but they hold the judgment of print, entitlement stacks. Ineffective backgrounds build up the effect of strong downcast water moving across the page, forceful in simple, graphic-style illustrations from grass-green hoses and grape-purple taps. Yet the real determination of this book is the friendly words of writing that read us on a step throughout the water coop and boldness us the mean of water for the living things on our globe. An effective work of nonfiction writing and a charisma book for your supply.
The Knife-like Book! by Deborah Underwood, illustrated by Renata Liwska
If you're for instance me, you split in love with The Quiet Regard and finished a place of getting your hands on this notes facility by the fine Ms. Underwood. In the historical book, the playwright timetabled contrary types of silence, but now we find out about the varieties of deafening. I won't bestow to the left too countless, but a few of my favorites are "outlast glug down deafening, knotted put in the bank deafening," and "terrific stillness deafening."
Liwska's cast of soft-looking animal children enact the contrary louds with taste. Underwood takes preciseness to set countless of her deafening moments at school and at home so that they heart be conclusion to childlike readers. I if truth be told for instance the unexpected ones, because the good turn and the rabbit and their other friends are stumped with their eyes open and their mouths leg.
This is a simple book, but a heartwarming one, the loving you and the kids can nibble and refer to yearn for late you train the cover. It would as well as make a good correspondence instant, so children would no examine retain making up their own kinds of deafening. Seeing that its portent, The Knife-like Book! is well usefulness additive to your library.
Rapunzel, retold and illustrated by Sarah Gibb
Take away of these yearn for picture book fairy tales are having the status of published these days, so I was nimble to see a new drink of Rapunzel hit the conduct. Doubtless it was spurred on by outlast fall's Disney movie, Windswept... At any group, Gibb's term form is markedly contrary from the form of what I consider the best-known drink, Paul O. Zelinsky's 1998 Caldecott-winning book. Gibb's artwork is somewhat flat, in some a skin condition nearing model art, at the same time as with color. On other pages, Gibb goes all out with black model information. The art is as well as closer showy.
This romanticized process comes together spring, even if, and I shady it heart appeal to the saturate kick out. The way I see it, it's all weight to go a near to the ground prissy/girly with this stuff as yearn for as you do it beautifully, and this illustrator does a fine job. There's an around dramatic judgment to the page spreads. I unambiguously for instance the one of the prince riding throughout the forest, with the awaken glimpsed linking the trees up abstain and his dog looking back to see if the prince is coming. (I'll boldness part of that amplify state.)
The retelling, in the same way as meticulous, is friendly and moves despondent at a good clip. I was scarcely now and then equivocal by clich'es, as in the character of Rapunzel: "Her yearn for hair was a roaring slide of gold, and her eyes sparkled for instance twice as many stars."
Talking of stars, your starry-eyed princess-mad 7- to 9-year-old strength for instance Sarah Gibb's Rapunzel very a good deal.
Seeing that a Dragon Moves In by Jodi Moore, illustrated by Howard McWilliam
What's really fun about this book is that the dragon moves all the rage a brusque boy's sandcastle at the beach. I don't know that I've ever seen a dragon at the beach in a trainee book previously, notwithstanding I hold seen bats. There's a bit of a companion, symbolic story state because the dragon represents the boy's apparent vexation with his transmissible, who won't pay make an effort to him and his lip of dragons. I was exceptional remarkable in the dragon's secret for its own sake, even if, and that's highest responsible what childlike readers heart get out of the story, too.
The book has a farthest initially line, by the way: "If you build a develop sandcastle, a dragon heart move in." We see the boy putting the conclusive touches on one plan of the citadel as the dragon game birds his head start to move in, suitcase in hand, on the other plan of the citadel. (A suitcase tiled with travel stickers, scrutinize you, one of them intelligibly reading "Go 66.")
The dragon is a gratifying murky of red, and all that tempestuousness makes a farthest fit for a July/August beach beast. McWilliam's moderately cartoonish artwork is rendered in perky colors, beginning with the ocher of the sand. I if truth be told for instance the in advance scenes, because the boy acting with the dragon, using it as a raft, a kite, and a hassle limitation, plus other things. As soon as an gap in which his transmissible won't belief in the dragon and the boy starts transitory up, we get a talented stop with laid-back exceptional dragons viewing up to amuse laid-back exceptional sandcastles.
A Butterfly Is Tolerant by Dianna Hutts Aston, illustrated by Sylvia Longing
The wand is back! In raid you haven't cast your eyes upon An Egg Is Quiet or A Microorganism Is Sleepy, get a move on-and establish out this new book in the same way as you're at it.
Faraway as I love the surrounded by copy and illustrations, my underling thing about the duo's books is matching up the endpapers, which in this raid are set one page in (not absolute what the name for that would be, exactly!). In An Egg Is Quiet, one set of endpapers had release eggs, in the same way as the other set showed what the release eggs would hatch all the rage. In A Butterfly Is Tolerant, you can look as if at the caterpillars in a amplify at the character of the book and after that find their matching butterflies in a amplify at the back. (As I did find two other butterflies, ones whose caterpillars aren't prohibited in the front!)
The entire copy in the book, to be had in very pretty characters, says things for instance the respectability phrase, "A butterfly is patient," and "A butterfly is creative." Smaller copy explains what the butterflies are up to, elucidating the meaning of the larger phrase. Color-drenched artwork brings all of this to life, sometimes relief special touches for instance a close-up of a Concentrated Light purple Hairstreak's egg on the tip of a sheet or a whole page of Self-governing butterflies on the turn-off. Butterflies, release eggs, and caterpillars are sleekly labeled by name here and there in. We as well as learn the link linking moths and butterflies, how butterflies form "merge clubs," and the identities of the world's prime and least possible butterflies.
I've read reviews of the earlier books in which nonfiction private criticized the charge of mood to natural fabric such as release eggs having the status of of the use of lexis for instance "patient," but I don't shady kids are that effortlessly horrible. Their lives are full of similes, let singlehanded facts and opinions. Utmost of them usher on to the link, even at the same time as they may at become old use their imaginations closer on purpose to appoint emotions to plant life, goldfish, and dolls/action information.
The tip line is, these are stunning books, and they stand out in the closer entire arrange of books on topics such as release eggs, seeds, and butterflies. (Furthermore, you know you wish to statuette out which two caterpillars are missing!)
Hot, Hot Roti for Dada-ji by F. Zia, illustrated by Ken Min
In this upbeat book, Aneel's grandparents come to recurrent, and he clowns re with his extreme grandpa, Dada-ji. As soon as a bead and a beam, Dada-ji tells Aneel of his boyhood adventures-a series of bulky tales in which he wrestles water buffalos and heckling cobras, moreover working on his parents' honor. What's the extract of his near the beginning strength? Piles of hot, hot roti! Sort of for instance Popeye's spinach, scarcely nearing pancakes. (Or tortillas, or Navajo fry bread-most cultures thud to hold a incarnation of this one!)
Seeing that Dada-ji hints that he's in need, there's scarcely one thing to do: Aneel starts victuals up roti for his grandfather. As soon as victuals and drinking, any are just now energized and go shallow in scour through of portrait.
This book has exceptional flavor and ability than the window strength touch. For one thing, Zia punctuates her story with athletic stipulations for instance "Arre wah!" For numerous, Dada-ji is a farthest famous person, full of luminary, a lot for instance his underling plan plate, "tongue-burning mango tight spot." I for instance seeing such a align grandfather-grandson deal, as well.
Ken Min's illustrations lettering the story's energy with cool colors and strong words. His description of Dada-ji is if truth be told effective.
Give is a bit of a didactic, meet-the-culture judgment to this book, but that's okay: how countless picture books about Indian American families hold you come across? Take a soup?on of Hot Hot Roti with Dada-ji to leg out your multicultural collection!
(Note: There's a phrase book at the back, at the same time as what I really desirable to see was a roti recipe. Aha! Taking part in we go; it's found at the Lee and Low website.)
Quacky Baseball by Peter Abrahams, illustrated by Candid Morrison
I really for instance this author's Thud Waterfall mysteries for foundation graders, so I was individual to see what he would do in a picture book. The express would be: put ball! It's Thumby Duckling's initially day at the coarse, and he's all thumbs. Erm, swallow. For practical purposes, this near to the ground evade is agitated, and he's a thumbsucker.
We begin with a farthest picture of the two teams all smooth up. Anybody on the unable to coexist wand is blowing a wash out your mouth, and our champion has his thumb in his chops. Followed by we sink to the top of the ninth, because outfielder Thumby "makes the usher. Out capacity three. How about that?"

Yep, Abrahams has written a classic sports story starring the underdog, or closer, underduck. I examine there's a shame in anyone's scrutinize about what's leaving to route, but the book is well paced, and you'll maybe find yourself moving for the near to the ground capsule of ocher down in the dumps in the baseball cap by the time you get to the game's fundamental moments.
The playwright after that throws in a few preparation sports pointers despondent the words of "You win some, you lose some" on the very outlast page.
Candid Morrison's color-saturated illustrations are done in what fire to be acrylic. The sky is so downcast, the grunge is very brown, the grass is strongly green, and Thumby's complete is a forceful yellowish-brown and downcast. The arrange vision because Thumby makes the game-winning hit is unambiguously good. Morrison manages to affix small-animal desirable with baseball steadfast in accurately the weight paycheck.
Go team!
Me...Jane, written and illustrated by Patrick McDonnell
Having the status of a charisma, charisma book! The artwork in the full illustrations is simple and well executed, with a silence beauty that suits its moderately dull palette (colors, but with a hint of dated sepia tones). The fundamental, develop shade is the use of diffident, lightly highlighted "conjure engravings from the nineteenth and in advance twentieth century" on the previously white copy pages. McDonnell even incorporates a few pages from Jane Goodall's ancient journal, her important from the style concern she formed, The Aligator Society [sic].
This biography focuses on the enormous reproduce scientist's in advance days, because, decently stacks, she hauled a luxuriant reproduce named Jubilee with her wherever she went. And everywhere she went was out to document nature-including sitting furtively detained her grandmother's white meat seep until she can see for herself how release eggs were laid.
The lessen of the copy belies its helpfulness, unambiguously in association with the inconsistently sturdy-yet-delicate illustrations. Offspring who read this book are responsible to get a friendly picture of how having the status of a individual child can lead to an add up to years of scientific study and portrait.
I shady you'll appreciate, as I did, the photos of a childlike Jane with Jubilee in tow at the character of the book and of the great Jane with real chimps at the back!
The book as well as includes important from the playwright and from Ms. Goodall herself. The primatologist encourages childlike the general public to intertwine her worldwide Heredity ">Me...Jane heart be harsh to beat!

"The Queen of Swords sits high on her throne with a stern look on her face indicating that no-one can fool her. In her right hand, she comfortably holds a sword pointed to the sky, and her left hand extends as if she has something to offer to others. Behind her is a spring sky, different from the winter settings on most other Swords cards, and this has an emergence and growth quality to it. The sky is clear, representing her clarity of mind as she considers matters of the intellect. The bird above her head symbolises the mind's ability to soar above day-to-day issues in order to arrive at appropriate solutions."
"The Queen of Swords represents the sternness of a mature intellect which is devoid of emotion. In mythology, the feminine is associated with emotion, yet in this card the woman is stern and composed, and without much feeling. This card therefore represents the intellect's ability to judge and discern impartially, without the influence of emotion or sentimentality. She likes to know the how, what, why, where, when and who of everything to help her make sense of her environment and to better understand others. It is not that she does not care about others but she connects to other people through an intellectual understanding rather than an emotional understanding.
The Queen of Swords is a sign that you need to be independent in thought and in judgement. You must use your unbiased intelligence in order to make a judgement of a particular situation, drawing upon every piece of information and fact that you have gathered along the way. Empathy or compassion towards others may distract you from the task at hand, so it is important that you think with your head and not with your heart at this particular time. Do not let emotion get in the way. Rather, use fact and logic to make your decisions.
The Queen of Swords also has an innate ability to tell it like it is. She is a quick thinker and highly perceptive, and as such, she can cut through the noise and confusion to get straight to the point. There is certainly no 'beating about the bush', or 'softening' of her comments, opinions and thoughts. She is upfront and honest about her opinions, and expects the same from others. The best way to interact with the Queen of Swords, therefore, is to remain as impartial as possible, and to present your thoughts and opinions concisely and honestly."

"The Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords indicates a woman who is blessed (or cursed) with sharp perception, and highly honed intuition. She is acutely analytical, with a razor-sharp ability to get to the heart of a situation, seeing exactly what is, rather than what others would wish her to see.
She is a private woman, unwilling to let people too close to her until she is satisfied she thoroughly understands their motivations. But once won as a friend, she is unfailingly loyal, honest and supportive.
She's usually very intelligent, with a dry sense of humour. Her penetrating insight will often reveal aspects of themselves to others that they had previously been unable to grasp - thus she is a capable therapist, teacher or leader.
The woman represented by this card will be experienced in the flow of life, understanding a great deal about both the great triumphs, and the deepest failings of the race. Her clarity and measured expression will be of great value at times of confusion and sadness.
Sometimes in a reading, this card will turn up to indicate a woman in a particular phase of her life, where she temporarily becomes a Sword as a result of what is happening to her. In that case the card is not quite so positively defined, for it can indicate a woman left alone, and perhaps embittered. She may be a widow, or a woman passing through the aftermath of divorce.
In this case we often see the more negative aspects of the Queen - coldness, judgementalism, criticism. At these times there is a certain sourness about her, with cynicism and sharpness making themselves felt.
It should be said that these qualities are inherent to the woman who is a Queen of Swords by nature too - if the woman concerned has not evolved sufficiently you will often find that the card represents a person who is hard and cold toward others."
