A Spell to Raise the Winds: (July 1997) in the morning, face south, focus on willing the winds to pick up, and whistle three times, loudly. The winds should pick up. If you want to stop the winds after that, face North, like at sunset, and whistle three times toward the north. Practicing helps your magickal skills.

A Spell to be Rid of Problems: (probably 1998) take a red piece of yarn or string, and focus or mentally send all your problems into it, then burn it, perferably outside and off your property. Always feel free to add a verse to explain what you want to the gods, more so, that you say out loud. Your problems should disappate, but if they're from your thoughts, you need to work on your own thoughts, and more positive thinking.

A general method to call love or sex to you (July 2002, by me, the owner of this web site): stand outside in the evening or at night when there is a waxing moon, and call upon love goddesses (like Hathor, pronounced "Hay-thor," for instance) to send you a mate or love interest, or sexual partner (or whatever you're looking for). You can also light a pink (fidelity) or red (sex) candle (or white can substitute for any other color) before you speak that, and walking back and forth could help you raise more energy, though, the main energy or influence here is of the gods. Don't do this spell if the moon is void-of-course (check a magickal almanac for that info, or generally, if the moon is past 20 degrees in one astrological sign, it's probably void-of-course already, just to be safe). If you're really desperate, though, you'll attract a desperate situation, because like attracts like, and magick follows the path of least resistance.

A Song to the Goddess Isis
(c) July/August 1997, by me

Hail! Goddess Isis,
Mother of the Earth,
Goddess of the great, celestial moon;
Aid us, in your glory,
help our quest,
'til we are one in Spirit, too {or with you}.

* It's a great song, too, for when you're raking the leaves and sticks off your permanent, outside, circle (if applicable) in the spring (like before Beltane), or when creating such an area; and that labor, it's self, is an expenditure of your energy that honors the Goddess, and Her Consort (the Horned God).

A Spring/Full Moon Chant
or for, circa., any time of the year
(c) 11 April, 1998, by me

The Sun is alive!
The Moon goddess rides high!
Blessed Be!
To the Earth,
and the skies!

A Goddess Song/Chant
from TV, around Samhain 1999
(has a great, solemn, beat to it, if sung properly)

We all come from the God-dess,
and to Her we shall return;
earth, air, fi-re, and wa-ter --
flow-ing to the o-o-cean.

An Evening Chant to the Moon-Goddess
by S. Cunningham
to be said while moon-gazing in the evening, or watching the moonrise

Hail, fair Moon,
ruler of Night,
Guard me and mine,
Until the light. {or All the time. or All through the night.}

An Evening Chant to the Sun-God
by S. Cunningham
to be said while watching the sunset

Hail, fair God, {or Sun-god}
Ruler of day,
Rise on the morn,
to light my way.

A Prayer Before Meals
(2003, me) you can hold you hands over it making a sacred triangle with your fingers, over the food, in blessings, if you wish.

Gracious Lady and Lord of the harvest,
Goddess and God of abundance,
I thank you for this food which sustains me.
Please bless it, and those who take part in it.
Let plenty of all good things be in all lands.
Let none ever hunger or thrist.
Blessed Be! So mote it be.

A Bedtime Prayer
(2003, me)

Gracious Goddess of the moon,
the earth, and the waters,
Gracious God of the sun,
the sky, and the forests,
Bless me and protect me this night.
I cast any negativity I have produced this day
onto you, and ask you to purify me, and my thoughts.
Guard me this night, fill me with your love,
and grant me good dreams, and dreams of meanings, I ask,
O Great Ones.
Goodnight, Blessed Be! So mote it be.

Two General Closings for Any/All Magickal Workings

I call you now,
I ask, attend to me,
This is my will,
So mote (must) it be!

Or:

By the free will of all,
and with harm to none,
As I do will --
So shall it be done!

A Bedtime Verse to Anubis for Protection
("Blessed Be!" is a greeting, blessing, and closing, and means, "Let all be blessed!," or something similar. 2003, by me.)

Great Anubis {or Anpu},
Protector, Comforter,
Lord of the Dream Journeys,
I ask you to guard me this night.
Let nothing bane (bad) come near me.
Open joyous dream pathways, that appear to me.
Be with me,
And guard me from all harm.
This I ask;
Enfold me in your strength,
cloaking me in great peace;
Blessed Be! So mote it be.

An Ancient Morning Rite or Verse to Isis
from the book, "The Mysteries of Isis," 1996, by deTraci Regula; and it's actually a very ancient rite, practiced by the priestesses of Isis in the morning
(remember to visualize in all your magicks; prayer is a form of magick, too)
Try to face the sun in the east, when you speak this, and feel it's (or this case, Her) warmth, and/or light, on your face and skin, like for a noontime prayer...

Awake, awake, awake!
Awake in peace,
Lady of peace!
Rise thou in peace.
Rise thou in beauty;
Goddess of Life!
Beautiful in heaven!
Heaven is in peace.
Earth is in peace.
O Goddess,
Daughter of Nut, (pronounced, "Noot")
Daughter of Geb, (pronounced "Geeb", with a hard "G")
Beloved of Osiris; ("Oh-sigh-russ")
Goddess rich in names!
All praise to you!
All praise to you!
I adore you.
I adore you.
Lady Isis!

Note: I can't say enough how important daily devotions are, though, they need not be complicated, as long as you focus on something positive, and give you the chance to commune with Deity, at least a couple times a day. You can ground and center before and after a devotion, and you can light a white candle (or any candle, generally), and/or incense, as you desire, or your devotion may suggest. You can also invent personal gestures (like raising up your arms to the center of your chest, backs of your hands together, then bring them up, and have them cascade over, like a big fountain, or an arching "M" symbol, for purification, while visualizing or sensing, too, white light flowing in that way, and you should feel great and clean after that) to add to your rituals and devotions, etc. If you don't feel better from them, you're going through it too fast; that's all.

Rite of Night, to Isis
found in the book, "The Mysteries of Isis"

I hail You and praise You, [Isis,]
Glorious Goddess,
At the end of this day which you granted me.
May my actions within its hours be judged to be justified,
And my words within its hours found to be true.
Drain from me all ill intent and action;
I offer to You all energy I have locked in unworthy action or reaction;
May tomorrow by Your grace find me wiser and my joy in the universe still greater;
I ask Your welcome now in the Temple;
Accept me this night for rest, for study, and for worship;
Grant me dreams of meaning and the memory to recall them.
Hail to You, Goddess of the starry pathways;
Hail to You, Goddess of the Deep Black,
Hail to You, Goddess of the Shining Sun at Midnight,
May I partake of Your glory forever.

Another Nighttime Prayer
from ancient Egyptian

Great Isis,
I call out to You against the eyes of the
Lords of Darkness.
Great are You of all the Gods, beautiful in Your dwelling,
Lady that sets protection against the fiends in the land.
Hail to Thee whose beneficial spirits are the Gods of Your Land
consecrated from within the Other World.
Beautiful are Thy manifestations in the realm of
the Lord of Life who is Thy protective brother.
Give to me Thy spirit and power in Heaven,
Great Power of Isis, protect me!

A Request to the Star Goddesses
(2003, me)
to be said while star-gazing at night (hopefully in an open field, in summer; you could gaze at Orion [though, in winter], too, or some other constellation you know and can find in the sky, like Cassiopiea, the Great Queen, with looks like a big "W" overhead, depending on where you live)

Sothis, goddess of the stars,
Isis, goddess of the starry pathways,
Nuit, mother-goddess of the nighttime sky,
Purify me, now, with you starlight,
Glitter through my soul,
Make me pure,
Bless me with awe for Creation,
and the happiness of a child.
This I ask and pray,
Blessed Be! So mote it be.

A Beltane Oat Cakes Recipe
A traditional fare at Beltane (April 30 and May 1)

1 1/2 cups oat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar (to make them sweeter use up to one full cup)
3/4 cup butter (unsalted)
1 egg
1 cup mashed ripe fruit (banana, peaches, something soft), optional
1 3/4 cup rolled oats

Spices: you could use like nutmeg, and cinnamon is a good combination, for example, or cardamom is all right by it's self (use approximately 1/4 tsp); or add, too, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (which is optional).

Mix the flour, baking powder, and brown sugar together, and make sure to smash any lumps. Cut butter into mixture with a pastry blender (or make do with a fork) and add the egg and fruit (if using some), and nuts (optional). Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto greased cookie sheet (about 2 or 3 inches apart). Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit [or 175 degrees Celsius] for 15 minutues, or until the cakes look dry.

A Crescent Cakes Recipe
Great for Full Moon Esbats, the Imbolc Sabbat (February 2), etc.

Ingredients:

1� cups flour
� cup sugar
1 cup finely ground almonds
3 drops almond extract
� cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon honey
1 egg yolk

In a large mixing bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Add the butter, honey, egg yolk and mix together well. Cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and then chill for 1� to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

When ready, pinch off pieces of the dough (about the size of plums) and shape them into crescents.

Use a crescent-moon-shaped cookie cutter on rolled out dough, instead, as an alternative option, if you wish.

Place the crescents on a well-greased cookie sheet and bake in a 350-degree preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes. The recipe yields about one dozen crescent cakes. They go great on a Full Moon, with fresh-squeezed lemonade! And for Wiccan Communion/the Simple Feast, too.

A Winter Solstice/Yule Great EggNog Recipe
from a large cook book

About 5 minutes before serving: In large bowl, with mixer at high speed (or, I use a blender!, which it says you can do, too), beat 6 eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until frothy. Turn mixer speed to low; gradually beat in 1 cup cold milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extra (I love that stuff), and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (I don't like that; I use cinnamon, instead). Pour into pitcher or punch bowl (unless you use a blender, and then you can leave it in there, per se). Sprinkle lightly with more nutmeg (or cinnamon). Serve at once. Makes six, 1/2-cup servings. If you want a slightly different EggNog, substitute one teaspoon of almond extract, for one of the teaspoons of the vanilla extract. I love this recipe because it's NOT thick and sickeningly sweet like most eggnogs from the store (which I won't buy, heh heh). Warning: do NOT add more salt than the 1/8 (that is, one eighth) a TEAspoon of salt that it calls for.
