LOVE POWDER:To make a potent love powder, place some plain talc powder in a small bowl and leave in the moonlight before a Full Moon. The next night, add 7 drops each of ylang ylang and geranium oil, and 3 drops of patchouli oil. Again, leave in the moon light. On the third night add one more drop of each essence, concentrating on the Moon-drenched powder. Visualize it glowing with the power to bewitch any who come into contact with it. Place the powder in tinfoil to keep it fresh, and wear or scatter a little whenever you desire to attract love.
RID YOURSELF OF PAIN:Take two chairs, and sit them facing one another. Choose the more comfortable of the two chairs, and sit down in it. Calm yourself. Begin to visualize your pain in the other chair. Visualize it in vivid, excruciating detail, spend sometime on this--at least 10-15 minutes. When you have finished with your visualization, it is ok to get up. You should begin to feel your pain dissipate. After 2 or 3 hours, it is ok to move the chairs, your pain should be completely gone.
ALL-PURPOSE CANDLE SPELL:
This is a quick, uncomplicated ritual designed to be used for all positive purposes. You'll need one candle of the appropriate color, one holder, and matches. When you're ready to begin, hold the candle between the palms of your hands. Breathe deeply. Visualize your
goal. Push personal, programmed power into the candle between your hands. Feel the energy streaming into it. Say appropriate words if you wish simply stating what you need to occur. Place the candle in its holder. Strike a match above the candle and draw down the flame toward the candle. Light the wick. Put the still-flaming match into a heat-proof container. Hold your hands around the candle's flame. Feel the energy. Visualize strongly. Leave the area. Let the candle do its work.
MOON BREW:Set a silver container filled with water out on the night of the full moon just as it rises (the moon). Allow the water to soak up lunar rays all night, then just before dawn, rise and retrieve the water. Place the water in an earthen jug and cork tightly. Use this brew to anoint money to increase wealth. Touch it to your brow to promote psychic awareness. Or place it in the bath prior to lunar rituals to become attuned with the spiritual planes.
TO BREAK A SPELL AGAINST
YOU:If you believe a spell has been cast against you, place a large Black candle in a cauldron (or a Large Black Bowl). The candle must be tall enough to extend a few inches above the cauldrons rim. Affix the candle to the bottom of the cauldron with warmed beeswax or the drippings of another black candle so that the candle will not tip over. Fill the cauldron to the rim with fresh water, without wetting the candle's wick. An inch or two of the candle should remain above the water. Deep breathe, meditate, clear you mind, and light the candle. Visualize the suspected spell's power as residing within the candle's flame. Sit in quiet contemplation of the candle and visualize the power flowing and growing with the candle's flame (yes, the power against you). As the candle burns down, its flame will eventually sputter and go out as it contacts the water. As soon as the flame has been extinguished by the water. the spell will be dispersed. Break your visualization of the spell's power: see it explode into dust, becoming impotent. Pour the water into a hole in the ground, a lake or stream. Bury the candle. It is done.
MODERN HEALING SPELL:To help speed recovery from an illness.
Write the name of the person needing to be healed upon a human shaped candle( make sure its shaped in the correct gender). Visualize healing energy in the form of a white light flowing from your hands to the candle while anointing the candle with myrrh or mint oil and saying these words:
"In the divine name of the Goddess that breathes life into us all, I consecrate and charge this candle as a magical tool for healing."
Place the candle above the photo of the person in need. Light the candle. As the candle burns down concentrate on the person in the photo. Will him or her to become well again and chant the following:
"Magick mend and candle burn. Sickness end and good health return."
Continue concentrating on the person as the candle burns out.
SAFE HOME SPELL:Take four iron nails, charge them, then hammer them into the four corners of the house. Or you can charge three nails and hammer them into a window to form a triangle. The house is then nailed shut against harm. To reinforce this measure, make up a sachet to hang over the front door containing rosemary, juniper, caraway seeds, elder and lots of garlic. Use a protection oil to draw a pentacle over the front door. Whenever you leave the house, visualize a protective white barrier around it.
A WISHING POD SPELL:You'll need to gather: A seed pod from any tree, 1 piece of paper, pictures or drawings to represent your wish. To make your dreams come true, take your seed pod or eggshell and on your piece of paper write down what your wish or dream is. You can even decorate it with pictures of your wish. Make sure to put your intention behind what you want by making it as real as possible. Place the paper in the pod and bury it in a young pot plant or a new tree. Now let the God and Goddess take over.
TO ADD ZEST TO A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP:Working alone, light five spice-scented candles, surrounding yourself in a circle of fragrant light. Pour grape seed oil into a small bowl, saying: �Our foundation is a sure vessel, but it can carry more spice.� Add seven drops of sandalwood oil, saying: �Sensual scent of ancient sanders, bless our union.� Add three drops of orange oil, saying: �Newlywed playfulness, bless this union;� add three drops of geranium oil, saying: �Banal troubles flee, let our love be free.� Pass the bowl over each candle flame, mentally enlivening the love-balm with vibrant fire qualities as you go. When you are both ready for magick, light all of the candles, lay your lover on the bed and massage with the oil, picturing as you do so what exactly you wish from the relationship. Now work your will on your pliant partner.
HERBAL WITCHES CLEANSING BOTTLE:To make an herbal cleansing bottle, pour a layer of clean sand into a large clear bottle. Add layers of dried herbs, one at a time: first rosemary; then lemon peel, sage, cedar, black peppercorns, lavender, dill, bay leaf, and rowan. When the bottle is full, focus cleansing protective energy into the herbs and sand, and see a golden light radiating from the bottle. Visualize the herbs driving away negative influences. Cork and seal the bottle with white wax. Using a permanent marker, draw the Algiz rune on one side of the bottle, and on the other side draw a pentagram. Set the bottle near your front or back door, and every six months, uncap, pour herbs out into the woods or your compost heap, and thoroughly wash and dry the bottle before filling it with a new round of herbs.
SELF ENERGIZING SPELL:This spell requires direct sunlight, either outdoors, or indoors at a south facing window. Make yourself a tea that includes solar herbs such as cinnamon, cloves, orange, or lemon. (You may use citrus juice if you don�t want something hot.) You will need some sort of solar stone, such as citrine or yellow tiger�s-eye. Hold the stone up to the sunlight in your dominant hand, and hold the drink in your other hand. Say: �Helios Apollo, Sun-God, Healer, strengthen me with your light.� Visualize the sunlight pouring into you, washing through you, especially your heart and solar plexus, and into both the drink and the stone. Drop the stone into the beverage, drink the beverage as quickly as is comfortable. Put the cup down and sit and soak up sunlight for as long as you can.
TO STOP SOMEONE COLD SPELL:Write the person's name on a sheet of paper. I like to use a gel marker with gel marker paper so the words don't run. Fill a zip-loc baggie or lidded container with water. Put the paper in the container/baggie, seal it, and put it in the freezer. You can then add an appropriate chant or statement, such as: "(Name of person), I wish you well, But around me you will feel a chill. Take this hint, and leave me be, In other places, warmer you'll be." When the person is no longer in your life or a threat to you, take the baggie out of the freezer, and allow the water to melt. Pour the melted water onto the Earth as an offering, and either bury the paper or allow it to dry and burn it.
ENDING SHORT TERM DEPRESSION SPELL:To alleviate the affects of short-term depression, light a yellow candle and meditate on how you feel right now. Give this feeling a name, such as �Bobo.� Then, light a green candle. Meditate on how you feel now that you�ve named the previous feeling. Give this new feeling a name, silly is good. After lighting a blue candle, meditate on how you feel now that you�ve named the previous feeling. Repeat the routine. Finally, light a red candle. Know that you have control over what you do with your emotions, just as you have control over choosing names for your emotions. Now you can allow yourself to be aware of what started the depression. For most people, something happened that initially caused anger and then caused fear.
EMPATHY SPELL:First, chant silently to yourself: �Me in thee, what do I see?� Then imagine yourself in the other person�s shoes, talking to you. Ask your new self these questions: �How do I feel? What do I want? Why do I want it? How can I get it? What do I fear? How do I see the other party in this conversation (your old self)? As friend? Potential ally? Obstacle? Enemy? A vague person? What am I seeing that the other party isn�t seeing?� Then return to your own skin and check your new understanding by asking some careful neutral questions, such as, �If I�m understanding correctly, this is what you want. True?� Once you understand the other party, you will quickly know whether agreement is possible and what it will take to achieve it.
LEMON CLEANSING RITUAL:On the night before you begin your new regime, bring sixteen ounces of pure bottled water to just below boiling in a pan. Add two tablespoons of honey and dissolve it completely, then remove the water from the heat and add the juice of two lemons and one mint teabag. Cool the brew, remove the tea bag, and pour everything into a glass jar into which you have placed a thoroughly scrubbed clear quartz crystal. Set in the sunlight for two hours to absorb the healing rays of the light, then remove the crystal and drink while focusing on strengthening your willpower and your desire to change and better yourself. Know that you truly love yourself in order to make this effort.
THRESHOLD PROTECTION SPELL:A piece of chalk is all you need to keep evil influences from entering your home. Start by drawing loops, spirals, or wavy lines on the top step, the threshold, and the exterior faces of the doors to your house. The color and exact nature of the pattern are not important, but it is critical that the design be made of a single line. In other words, the drawing must not contain any spaces, gaps, or loose ends. If negative energy approaches your home, it will be trapped and held in the maze.
FREEZING NEGATIVITY SPELL:To stop the negative actions of a misguided practitioner of magic, write his or her name on a piece of paper. Place the paper in a jar, and fill it with water. Place the jar in your freezer; as the water freezes, so will the ill actions of the negative practitioner.
LIGHTNING SPELL:When a thunderstorm is raging, fix your mind on what you truly and sincerely wish for and watch the lightning each time it flares. Concentrate more and more intensely�with a chant if you can�then just as a particularly brilliant or close lightning bolt splits the sky, send your wish forth!
GETTING RID OF A COLD:To help get rid of a cold/virus, start by bringing some water to a boil. Add fenugreek seeds to the water while chanting: "Seeds of fortune, seeds of change, restore my body." Continue to boil the water and seeds for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Strain the water and sip the tea. You should not add sugar or honey to the tea, but lemon is fine.
LOVE POUCH SPELL:To make a pouch that beckons a perfect lover, begin by facing east. Moving clockwise, cast a magick circle and call upon the powers of the four directions�in order, east, south, west, north as you turn. Now, place four white candles around the circle, one at each of the four directions, and position a red candle in front of you behind a chalice or crystal wine glass, light all the candles. Have ready a piece of plain white paper, and write down all the qualities you want in a potential lover. Prepare and ignite an incense using the herbs cardamom and clove. Burn the paper containing your lover�s qualities along with the incense, until all turns to ashes. Put the ashes in a red silk pouch, to be worn around your neck.
LOVE (bath) SPELL:Start this spell on a Friday evening at seven o�clock by adorning your bathroom with one red rose in a water-filled vase and seven pale green candles. Run the bath water, and honor Venus by adding to it one cup of sweet amber honey, one cup of pink wine, a splash of rose-scented perfume, and several drops of myrtle and clover essential oils. Next, get undressed, light the candles, turn off the light, and enter the tub. Allow the warm delicious water to soothe your muscles and your spirit. Imagine that your lover finds you beautiful, impossible to resist, and ready to submit to your charms. When the visualization is complete, drain the water from the tub and stand under a cool shower. This will further magnetize your body, and draw your lover to you.
TO MAKE SOMEONE LEAVE YOU ALONE: This spell must be performed during a waning moon! On a piece of parchment paper, write the name and birth date of the person (a small picture of them too, will help) you are wishing away. Now fill an air-tight container (Tupperware or baby food jar) with water. Add a pinch of one or more of these magical herbs: ash tree leaves, clover, lovage, lilac, garlic clove. Take the paper with the name on it and fold it three (3) times. Tie a black string or thread around it and drop it in the water/jar. Seal the container up (a lid) and place it in a safe spot in your freezer. Once the person has left you alone or no longer poses a problem to you, take the container outside and empty it to the earth. Keep the container instead of leaving it to Mother Earth!
SILENCING A GOSSIPER:Write the name and full birth date of your gossiping enemy on a piece of slippery elm bark. Wrap it in a piece of black cloth and say: "(Name of person)BE NOW SILENT, LET YOUR BITTER TONGUE BE BROKEN, (Name of person) BE NOW SILENT, LET NO EVIL WORDS BE SPOKEN. SO MOTE IT BE!" Bury the cloth-covered bark in a forest or graveyard at night by the light of a pale waning moon as you visualize that person unable to speak when ever he or she attempts to spread malicious gossip about you.
ANTI-FIRE HOUSE CHARM:To protect your home from the ravages of a devastating fire, place some mistletoe in a blue drawstring bag, douse it thoroughly with cold, clear water, then immediately hang it in the heart of the house - where you your family spend most of your time. Or, light a piece of wood burn to ash. Wet the ashes, let them dry, hang in a blue draw string bag. It is done.
TO EASE UNREQUITED LOVE:To start, kneel before a blazing fire with a handful of dried Vervain leaves. Toss the entire handful into the blaze at once along with the words: "Creature of fire, flames that roar, purge me of pain, let it torment me no more. Consume the hurt, that my soul is set free, as I will, So mote it be!" As the fragrance of the herb penetrates the air, breathe it in deeply and visualize your entire body filling with peace and calm.
A SPELL OF LEGEND:Legend has it that a mixture of willow flowers and milk has powers to entrance any young prince on earth. None will be able to resist you and will be charmed by your beauty. Anoint face with the mixture daily for seven days. Marvel at the effect!
SPELL for INTERNAL WELL-BEING:Obtain a vial of water from a steadily flowing river and put aside. Light 2 blue candles and place at the north and south points of a circle. Light 2 white candles and place at the east and west points of the same circle. Scatter freshly picked lavender and crushed leaves of an ice berg rose evenly around the perimeter of the circle and sit within it, facing the north point. Cross arms loosely over the chest and focus your awareness on the breath entering your body and slowly spreading through it. Return your focus slowly to your environment and extinguish the candles using the river water, kneeling before each as you do so, in the order north-west-east-south.
SACRED SPACE PURIFICATION
SPELL:To purify a sacred space, during the sixth hour after sunrise or the first or eighth hour after sunset consecrate an aromatherapy bowl or small cooking pot by passing it through the smoke of frankincense and sprinkling it with blessed water, saying: �I consecrate this container to aid in my Craft, that the spell
I now weave will take hold and last.� Heat spring water in the bowl over a tea
light or in the pot on a burner. When the water is hot, add the following herbs,
speaking after each, star anise: �Let all negativity be deflected from this place�; one bay leaf: �As the scent of this leaf moves through this place, may purification enter into this space�; one teaspoon sage: �Through sage I now make this spell manifest, that with peace and protection this space will be blessed. For as I will, so mote it be!�
PROTECTING THE KITCHEN:To protect the kitchen - the heart of the home - keep a mortar and pestle out on the kitchen counter. These are often used to grind herbs. You can either keep the one you use on the counter or, as I do, keep an unused on out specifically for this purpose.
HOUSE PURIFICATION SPELL:Light some sage, cedar, and/or lavender incense in the northernmost room of your house. Carry the burning incense with you, moving clockwise from room to room, to banish negative energies from your environment. If you don't have any incense, use the noise from rattles, drums, or noise makers to chase out the negative energies, or use a besom to sweep the house clean. These procedures are most effective after you have given your house a good cleaning, which itself can act as a spell if you do it with magical intentions. Dust and vacuum clockwise, visualize white light filling your living space, invoke the Elemental powers of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water as you use those elements in your cleaning: water in cleaning solutions, earth in the substance of the objects you clean, fire in warm water and sun light, air from the vacuum cleaner and/or open windows.
LETTING GO OF FEAR, NEGATIVITY or
ANGER:Visualization type of spell! Insert what relates to you (fear, anger, or negativity).
Example: Fear leave my (Chakra areas are good to use) toes, my legs, my hips, my
stomach, my heart my shoulders, my neck, my head, fear be gone! Do it as long as
possible until physical sensation of fear, anger are gone! It will get rid
of fear, anger or negativity! VISUALIZE and see it leaving out the top of
your head!
HOUSE PROTECTION SPELL:Sprinkle holy water (water, mixed with salt, blessed and consecrated during ritual) across all of the doorways and window sills in your house. Alternatively, dip your right (projective) fore finger into the holy water and trace a banishing pentagram on the inside of the doors and windows, visualizing the pentagram glowing in bright blue light after you've traced it with your finger.
SCRYING SPELL:Take a deep bowl/cauldron of water and place it in your ritual space. Place 3 black candles around you but not too close. Place these herbs in the water (its best if you use very hot/boiling
water in the cauldron for this) fennel, basil, clove, hibiscus, meadowsweet,
orange and lavender and burnt parchment with wish/spell/request written on it. Allow these herbs 5 minutes to brew. Stir this if you wish. Strain any herbs still floating off the top but leave all others in the cauldron. Light some
incense heavy in Jasmine and try to get some of the smoke to touch the water by
waving your hand over it. Place a clear quartz in the cauldron. Now light the
candles and relax. Feel the relaxation begin from your toes and travel all the
way up your body to the top of your head (crown Chakra). Take as long as you
need to in order to fully relax. Now sit up and look into the cauldron, if
images try to flood your mind, recognize them and put them to one side. Now gently allow your mind to open. If you had a question, make sure the ashes have been thoroughly mixed in the cauldron so you will now be open to the answer you seek. Try to let the images come without trying to understand them. If you have a dream diary, or large book of shadows, write the images in there.
DISPEL NEGATIVE ENERGIES:
(involves making a talisman)Take a small clear crystal, an acorn, some rosemary and mandrake
and a bit of green silk or cotton. It doesn't need to be a big piece. Cast your
circle and creating a pouch from the herbs, bless them with each element saying: "While this dwells within, there will be protection without. Cleanse and charge this charm, element against all who wish me ill!" Now hang this some where not too obviously, like hiding it in a corner or over a window. This will protect you until next Samhain when you should burn it in the sacred fire, crystal and all. If it is not too tainted, the fire will just cleanse the crystal and you'll be able to retrieve it from the ashes but I always recommend just getting a new one.
EARTH MOTHER CANDLE RITUAL: Imbolic is a time of year when many people celebrate change and growth and bid farewell to things no longer needed. For this spell, sweep a circle with a broom to symbolically remove the old to make room for the new. Light a green candle and recite thrice the following
incantation: "Mother Earth, awaken from your silent winter rest. Let the spring time goddess of green magick manifest. Mother Earth, awaken now and
hold us to your breast. We honor thee with love, for we are truly by thee
blessed."
SPELL for PROTECTION:Make a sachet to wear around your neck. The color should be blue or purple but make it a color you can live with. On the night of a full moon, blend these herbs together: amber, juniper, dill, vervain, St.John's Wort and lavender, by crushing them together with a mortar and pestle. Leaving them in the vessel,
hold them up to catch the light of the full moon and say: "Moon of night, in fullness shine bless this rite protection be mine." Then without touching it fill your pouch and wear it whenever you feel threatened. It also works if you keep it in your pocket.
