This is a spell I wrote that
was published in my friend Lilith McLelland's
book The Salem Witches' Book of Love Spells. Its purpose is to
instill the confidence of a Dragon within the heart and mind of the
Caster. It should be performed for the first time near or during the time of the
full moon, and later whenever you feel the need for a little extra
"boost."
Needed Items:
1) Iron Shavings
(or a small iron/steel nail) for strength
2) One each of the
following: Citrine (self-determination), Rose Quartz (self-esteem)
and Amethyst (courage)... choose small stones
3) A small amount
of each of the following: Cinnamon-stick or powder- (personal power),
Bay leaf (success) and Catnip (happiness)
4) A
4"x4" black cloth square (black repels negativity)
5) Three feet each
of Red, Purple and Orange thread
6) A Gold paint
pen or
ink pen (recommended for quick drying), or Gold paint and a brush
7) Dragon's Blood
oil or Cinnamon essential oil - genuine or "synthetic"
(if you use genuine cinnamon oil be careful as
it burns if gotten onto sensitive body parts, so be sure to wash your hands afterwards)
8) One Red, Purple
and Orange candle
9) Something to
carve the candles with
10) Normal altar
equipment
Perform Clan
Circle Casting and Quarter Calls
Invite your Dragon
friends
The Casting:
Step1: Inscribe the candles with the
following words: Red--Strength, Purple--Self-assurance,
Orange--Success
Anoint each candle with the oil and chant 3
times for each candle:
Dragons of Power, Dragons
of Light,
Dragons of Wisdom, Dragons of
Might!
Lend me your magic; Lend me
your aid
Lend me your guidance as this
spell is made!
Place the candles in their holders and light.
Step 2: Using the gold paint, draw the
following Runes on the black cloth square:
Sigel Lagaz
Isa
Sigel: for strength and self-confidence
Lagaz: for increased vitality and life-force
Isa: for development of self-will
Remember to concentrate fully on the qualities
of each Rune. Say those qualities out loud if you want. Set the cloth
aside, painted side up, so it can dry.
Step 3: Charge the iron, herbs and crystals
according to the indicated qualities by concentrating on each item in turn while
chanting:
Dragons of Power, Dragons
of Light,
Dragons of Wisdom, Dragons of
Might!
Lend me your magic; Lend me
your aid,
Lend me your guidance as this
spell is made!
Continue chanting until each item
"feels" as if it can hold no more energy, then turn the (hopefully
dry) cloth square painted side down and place each charged item into the center
of the square. Gather the four corners of the cloth together and tie into
a bag using the red orange and purple thread.
Step 4: Pass the bag carefully *over* each
candle in turn and say:
(Red) Strength
(Orange) Success (Purple) Self-assurance
At each utterance visualize Dragon Fire of the
corresponding color streaming from those Dragons who have answered your request
for assistance and enveloping both the bag and you. "Feel"
yourself filling with the strength and confidence of a Dragon. Repeat the
Empowerment Chant until you feel and internal signal to stop, or you
"see" the stream of Dragon Fire slowly ease up until it has stopped.
Commune with your Dragon friends for a while if
you want, then end the ritual. Allow the candles to burn themselves out or
down to the socket and hang your talisman bag where it will be the first thing
you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night.
Remember to thank all the Dragons for their
assistance and bid them safe journey as they return from whence they came.
I then recommend "pushing" the Circle energy out to meld with the
energies of your house protections... Why
waste any remaining confidence-filled energy?
