Each dominant planet has its physical and personal effect on the astral chart. The wonderful thing about this is the difference it can make in each person, adding its own essence and style.

SATURN DOMINANT:

The facial features are generally small, with broad fronts and a square or pontified chin. Naturally, they have a firm stance. The expression is serious and dominant. In women, it is more noticeable to see an elegant and magnetic aura. These personalities can be intimidating at first instance. They seem to be in constant movement. They are reserved and they emit a certain respect towards those around them. Women capture more attention than men. They know how to communicate verbally and interact in any social contact. They prefer practicality in their style and this is usually defined at a mature age.

URANUS DOMINANT:

His features tend to vary a lot. Mainly, they can be seen with androgynous features and/or asymmetric faces. Of an ethereal appearance, the shape of his face is usually square and slightly round. With a distant and tired look. They will always stand out with unusual features. Freckles, eyes of strange colors or different from each other. They usually have a large volume of lips. These appearances change constantly throughout his life. They usually offer a youthful aura far from social standards. The personality is open and striking. They are excellent communicators.

NEPTUNE DOMINANT:

Their faces denote a dreamy and drowsy air. With wide lips, pale complexion and clean. Women tend to have an ethereal appearance while men offer a more common physique. If the planet is aspected with Venus, they make their faces more oval and symmetrical. With angelic faces, they can appear innocent and pleasant vibes. His attitude is charming and open. Like Uranus, they can act clumsily and carelessly. The styles are more adjusted to the modern and current. They are delicate and soft in verbal contact. They live dreaming and that can make them clueless in any circumstance.

PLUTO DOMINANT:

His expression is rather serious. His appearance is naturally seductive and challenging. They stand out for having defined and curved eyebrows. The type of beauty is usually darker with modern trends. If the planet is aspected with Venus, women tend to have many curves. The gaze unleashes sexual attractiveness and usually they obtain showy bodies. Their presence stands out constantly and they can easily intimidate with their dominant vibes. They tend to be quiet and reserved, adding a mysterious touch to their aura. They have a special magnetism that attracts mainly men. They are impulsive verbally and physically.

the athame (typically pronounced ah-tha-mey) is a blade used for ritual purposes both in traditional witchcraft and in neopagan practices like wicca. it is considered one of the four elemental tools in modern occultism, along with the wand, pentacle, and chalice. a typical athame is a small double-edged blade with a black handle (which sometimes features symbolic carvings).

purposes of the athame

contrary to naive assumptions, athames are not traditionally used for sacrifice or blood magick. they are used to direct energy during rituals, to represent the element of fire (though other practices associate it with air), for banishment rituals, and rituals involving fertility when accompanied with the chalice.

some practitioners strongly believe that the athame is not meant for any kind of physical cutting, while others will use its blade to cut plants, fabric, cord, and other things pertinent to a spell or ritual. keep in mind that the athame absorbs and channels the energy of what it interacts with, so avoid letting others use your athame and be mindful of what items you cut with it, if at all.

consecrating and blessing a new athame before use

when you get a new athame, it’s important to cleanse it and properly declare it your own. gather two candles, one white and one black. 

⤏ pass the athame’s blade over the white candleflame, which cleanses it of its previously held energies and purifies its intentions. 

⤏ pass the blade over the black candleflame, to endow it with protective properties.

⤏ finally, stick the blade into rich soil, to bless it with earth magick. wash the blade off with water, and it is ready to use.

ways to incorporate the athame into your craft

⤏ cast a circle by outlining it with the blade, channeling protective energy

⤏ cut open and re-close circles you’ve already cast by slicing and redrawing

⤏ use the blade to cut and harvest herbs for spellwork or kitchen witchcraft

⤏ carve sigils and other symbols into candles for candle magick

⤏ use the blade in banishing rituals to cut negative energy away

⤏ use in place of a wand during house exorcisms/protection spells

⤏ use in place of a wand during rituals involving fire

a few easy rituals you can perform with just an athame

love ritual: hold the athame in your dominant hand and visualize the kind of relationship you want to have, or your ideal partner. trace a large heart in the air in front of you with the athame and walk through the energy-heart.

protection ritual: hold the athame in your dominant hand and say “may your blade protect me from harm and ill will.” hover the blade over your body, starting at the head and moving down to your feet.
