The Thirteen Powers of a Witch |
|
|
|
When you truly take the power of Witch training into your being and strive to do the best that you can regardless of the situation, the thirteen powers are given to you. These are either transferred through a religious ceremony by those who have been gifted before you, or they can come about at their own pace as you grow and learn on your own. If a power is abused, it is thought that the gift is taken from you, either for a period of time or permanently. The powers speak of blessings that you can give to others or use for yourself to enhance your own life as well as the lives of those around you. |

Thirteen powers do the Witches claim
their right of lineage by (say the name of your patron god or goddess here)'s name.
Tie a knot and say the words
or hand on head--the blessing conferred.
A Witch can give success in love
curse or bless through God /dess above.
Speak to beasts and spirits alike
command the weather; cast out a blight.
Read the heavens and stars of the night
divine the future and give good advice.
Conjure treasure and bring fortune to bear
heal the sick and kill despair.
This poem can be said as a blessing when giving something ro another, and can be included in any spell by adding:
This is my birthright to have and to share
blessings upon you, (person's name),
may the spirits be fair. |

Gift Blessing |
|
|
|
Hold the object in your hands. Take several deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly. Visualize the object glowing with white light. Connect your mind to Spirit and try to think of nothing else. Imagine the gift captuing the pure perfection of the univers. Then say: |
|
|
|
Perfect love and perfect peace
the world will dance as one.
I dream the wish to make it real
the magick now is done. |
|
|
| Seal your work by drawing an equal-armed cross (+) in the air over the object. You can also empower birthday, get well, and sympathy cards in this same manner. |

Meal Blessing |
|
|
|
Hold your hands over the food, and say each line below three times. This can be worked into a fun blessing for the whole family if chanted in a round. |
|
|
The table round continues the Earth
and thus becomes the Mother.
We share her bounty in this hour and bless and love each other.
So mote it be. |

Personal Journal/Book Blessing |
|
|
|
These words herein are mine alone
fashioned deep inside my bones
each picture, thought, and quote you see
aer all reflections of what is me.
Beware the urge to take this book
or read it in some private nook
because its magick isn't blind
and I will know you've touched what's mine. |
