Cranberry’s Magickal Components

Oftentimes, the cranberry’s beautiful red color has associated it with the planet Mars, and as a result,its magickal correspondences are similar to that of Mars.Because of this, cranberry can be used for protection, positive energy, courage, passion, determination, goals, and action.

If color were considered as a way of marking the cranberry’s magickal associations, it would be foolish to not highlightthe deep, sensual and erotic red color as corresponding to love and lust magick.

Nancy Reagan Secretly Consulted an Astrologer

As mentioned above, Nancysecretly consulted astrologer Joan Quigleyregularly throughout the 1980s. It was a minor scandal when President Reagan’s former chief of staff Donald T. Regan revealed what he called the administration’s “most closely guarded secret.”

“Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House chief of staff was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment for the enterprise,”Donald Regan wrote in his 1988 memoir, For the Record: From Wall Street to Washington.

Miss Quigley revealed hercounsel was sought on some of the most important decisions in the Cold War.

JFK & XMAS 2020

The White House Historical Association's Official 2020 White House Christmas Ornament honors John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States. The youngest president since Theodore Roosevelt, Kennedy took office in January 1961, at age 43. Before his vibrant presidency was cut short by an assassin's bullet on November 22, 1963, he had invigorated the American spirit. His legacy lives on in his youthful belief in America and his faith in America's responsibilities to the world.

With this ornament we remember President Kennedy through his posthumous official White House portrait, made in 1970 by Aaron Shikler, the artist selected by the president's widow, Jacqueline Kennedy. The portrait, symbolic of his unfinished presidency, hangs in the White House today. Shikler recalled that Mrs. Kennedy did not want the portrait to look the way other artists had portrayed him. "I painted him with his head bowed, not because I think of him as a martyr," Shikler said, "but because I wanted to show him as a president who was a thinker… All presidential portraits have eyes that look right at you. I wanted to do something with more meaning. I hoped to show a courage that made him humble."

The reverse of the ornament features the dates of President Kennedy's brief term, 1961-1963, on either side of an engraving of the White House. The White House as it is today is another Kennedy legacy. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy restored the furnishings and decor of the State Rooms to the era of the early presidents and invited the public to view them in a television special. "The White House belongs to the American people," she said. The White House Historical Association, which Mrs. Kennedy founded in 1961 continues today to fulfill the mission she envisioned: "to enhance understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of the historic White House." The Association remains a lasting legacy of a presidential term unfinished.
