			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Hi my dear friends!</p>
<p>I wanted to write in this opportunity just to tell you that I have updated the FAQ section so before you contact me, you get all the information of my work and spells first. This will help to make our contact smoother and faster. Since I have so many different cases, it is hard for me to respond to all the questions ASAP. So be sure that before you contact me, you take a look at the FAQ section <img src='http://realdivinelovespells.com/divinelovespellsblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget, a good spell is always an investment on your own happiness, so do not feel afraid of spending and spoiling yourself a little bit with what it could and will be a life changer.</p>
<p>Whatever your problems are: Love, finances, body issues, insecurities, friends, career, luck, etc, I will have an answer and a solution for you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lee Ann</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Hi my dear friends! It&#8217;s been a while since my last post and I wanted to tell you that I have been very busy and with some Internet problems&#8230; But I am here and back!</p>
<p>I wanted to tell you that I have been working really hard to upgrade all my spells. I have traveled a lot and gathered new information and materials. So far I have been worked in my special spell. I have improved them, making them faster and more efficient! I will work with all my other spells as well, but one step at a time (since I have so many varieties of spells!).</p>
<p>Spells are like fashion, they can become obsolete after a while, so it is very important for the spell caster to remain informed and open minded. I like the changes and I am not afraid to try new formulas, chants and materials because it is all for a greater good.</p>
<p>So you know, if your case is HARD and you have tried everything to solve it, just contact me to my email address listed on the website and ask for the special spells. They will do the work you want for sure!</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget to check my <a href="http://www.divinelovespells.com" target="_blank">website</a> for other spells: love, money, luck, body, beauty&#8230;</p>
<p>Love to you all!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The last week of July is a very special time for those who, like me, are involved with magick.</p>
<p>The energies are specially strong, so that is why I choose to work from a spiritual retreat, where the energies are concentrated and the magick will go through better.</p>
<p>Have said that, please be patient if you write and you do not get a fast answer. I will do my best to answer to all as fast as possible (If you already got a spell from me, please mind that if it takes me a while to write, it doesn&#8217;t mean that I am not working in your case, it means that I cannot come online often, that&#8217;s all).</p>
<p>love to all.</p>

This results in the originally unified zodiacal coordinate system drifting apart gradually, with an angular velocity of about 1.4 degrees per century.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;" lang="EN-US">For the tropical zodiac used in Western astronomy and astrology, this means that the tropical <em>sign</em> of Aries currently lies somewhere within the <em>constellation</em> Pisces (&#8220;</span><span style="color: black;"><a title="Age of Pisces" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Pisces"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" lang="EN-US">Age of Pisces</span></a></span><span style="color: black;" lang="EN-US">&#8220;).

<p><span style="color: black;" lang="EN-US">It is not entirely clear how the Hellenistic astronomers responded to this phenomenon of precession once it had been discovered by </span><span style="color: black;"><a title="Hipparchus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipparchus"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" lang="EN-US">Hipparchus</span></a></span><span style="color: black;" lang="EN-US"> around 130 BC.

The boundaries of all the constellations in the sky were set by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1930. This was essentially a mapping exercise to make the work of astronomers more efficient, and the boundaries of the constellations are not therefore in any meaningful sense an &#8216;equivalent&#8217; to the zodiac signs.

<p>In <a title="Astronomy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy">astronomy</a>, the <strong>zodiac</strong> is the ring of <a title="Constellation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation">constellations</a> that lines the <a title="Ecliptic" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic">ecliptic</a>, which is the apparent path of the <a title="Sun" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun">Sun</a> across the <a title="Sky" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky">sky</a> over the course of the year. The <a title="Moon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon">Moon</a> and <a title="Planet" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet">planets</a> also lie within the ecliptic, and so are also within the constellations of the zodiac. In <a title="Astrology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology">astrology</a>, the zodiac denotes those <a title="Astrological sign" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_sign">signs</a> which divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of <a class="mw-redirect" title="Celestial longitude" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_longitude">celestial longitude</a>. As such, the zodiac is a <a title="Celestial coordinate system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_coordinate_system">celestial coordinate system</a>, more precisely an <a title="Ecliptic coordinate system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic_coordinate_system">ecliptic coordinate system</a>, taking the ecliptic as the origin of <a class="mw-redirect" title="Celestial latitude" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_latitude">latitude</a>, and the position of the sun at <a class="mw-redirect" title="Vernal equinox" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernal_equinox">vernal equinox</a> as the origin of <a class="mw-redirect" title="Celestial longitude" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_longitude">longitude</a>.</p>
<p>It is known to have been in use by the <a title="Roman era" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_era">Roman era</a>, based on concepts inherited by <a class="mw-redirect" title="Hellenistic astronomy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenistic_astronomy">Hellenistic astronomy</a> from <a title="Babylonian astronomy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_astronomy">Babylonian astronomy</a> of the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Neo-Babylonian" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Babylonian">Chaldean period</a> (mid 1st millennium BC), which in turn derived from an earlier system of lists of stars along the ecliptic.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac#cite_note-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> The construction of the zodiac is described in <a title="Ptolemy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy">Ptolemy</a>&#8216;s <em>Almagest</em> (2nd century AD).</p>
<p>The term zodiac may also refer to the region of the <a title="Celestial sphere" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_sphere">celestial sphere</a> encompassing the paths of the <a title="Moon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon">Moon</a> and the planets corresponding to the band of about eight arc degrees above and below the ecliptic. The zodiac of a given planet is the band which contains the path of that particular body, e.g. the &#8220;zodiac of the Moon&#8221; is the band of five degrees above and below the ecliptic. By extension, the &#8220;zodiac of the comets&#8221; may refer to the band encompassing most <a class="mw-redirect" title="Short-period comet" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-period_comet">short-period comets</a> <sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>The term <em>zodiac</em> derives from <a class="mw-redirect" title="Latin language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_language">Latin</a> <em>zōdiacus</em>, in turn from the <a title="Greek language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language">Greek</a> <span lang="grc" xml:lang="grc">ζωδιακός κύκλος</span> (<em>zōdiakos kuklos</em>), meaning &#8220;circle of animals&#8221;, derived from <span lang="grc" xml:lang="grc">ζώδιον</span> (<em>zōdion</em>), the diminutive of <span lang="grc" xml:lang="grc">ζῶον</span> (<em>zōon</em>) &#8220;animal&#8221;. The name is motivated by the fact that many of the signs of the classical Greek zodiac are represented as animals (six out of twelve, plus two <a class="mw-redirect" title="Mythological hybrid" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythological_hybrid">mythological hybrids</a>).</p>
<p>Although the zodiac remains the basis of the <a title="Ecliptic coordinate system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic_coordinate_system">ecliptic coordinate system</a> in use in <a title="Astronomy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy">astronomy</a> besides the <a title="Equatorial coordinate system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_coordinate_system">equatorial</a> one, the term and the names of the twelve signs are today mostly associated with <a title="Horoscopic astrology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horoscopic_astrology">horoscopic astrology</a>.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Many of you ask me how is it possible? What is actually magick? What makes my magick different and so powerful? Is there any chance that they can do it by themselves?</p>
<p>Cast spells is an ancient tradition that belongs to many cultures, religions and it&#8217;s different from one to another. To explain it in a nowadays language, I would say that it&#8217;s the art of handling different energy with a directed purpose: help others (not yourself).</p>
<p>In each culture, special people were designated to cast spells because they have a special gift: the power to work with those energies and mold them into their will (always playing by the rules of the tradition they belonged, of course). Those special people had the access to the knowledge and the training to become expertise in those arts. The descendant of those wizards and witches had the same fate than their relatives and that was not into discussion.</p>
<p>In modern days, this last thing has changed, allowing massively to have access to secrets, spells and hexes and the main traditions were dismissed by a skeptic society. This is good and bad, good, because it has allowed to discover different ways of magick and many men and women discovered that they had gifts as well. Bad because people think that anyone can do it and it&#8217;s an easy task that it doesn&#8217;t require any effort.</p>
<p>You need years of studies a lot of training and of course research and devotion to the other. You also need to be involved in the tradition that fulfills your soul and creed, to make this in a responsible, effective and professional way.</p>
<p>So I guess the difference is in the skills, the power, the knowledge and the devotion that the spell caster possess.</p>
<p>A clear example would be, if you feel sick, do you medicate yourself or you go to a doctor to get the right cured? Now you know why I can help you better and why I do not recommend that you do it yourselves&#8230;</p>
<p>Blessings,<br />
