Rub the affected part with a potato sliced in 2, reseal and bury
Rub each wart.. pimple.. etc with a bean, and bury
the belief is that as the item decays so will the illness
To make a wish come true
Cut a symbol for what you want or write a one-word equivalent into any food
-- dark skinned fruits/vegetables work well due to the contrast
try an apple.. a pear, etc.
eat the food and know that as the food becomes part of your body your wish will become part of your life
To Determine "yes or no" to a question
Throw a stone into a still body of water, count the rings if odd - "yes" if even - "no"
Holed Stones
Have since ancient times been thought to be magickal -- place in a container of water to charge with healing energy -- look through the hole to aid in seeing auras.. the fae.. etc.
Another way to "get your wish"
on a small piece of paper write a symbol or word representing your wish
tie to a tree branch
when the elements eventually take the paper your wish will be on its way to you
Candle magick
Take a candle of the appropraite color annoint with oil
(one that is associated with your intent or simply virgin olive oil)
carve symbols into it that match your desire and place in its holder
surround with herbs or stones that correspond to your need
Light the Candle
Watch its glow for a time
Imagine it as a beacon light for your wish
Allow to burn down completely
Bath Magick
Add oils that correspond to your need to a bath
or fill a muslin bag with appropriate herbs
As the water covers your skin and enters your pores know that you will attract your desire
Especially good for
Beauty Spells -- think lavender rose
Purification Spells -- think basil rosemary peppermint
Prosperity Spells - perfect before an interveiw -- think cinnamon
Healing Spells -- think sage eucalyptus sandalwood
A nice addition can be color... some "New Age" stores now carry bath additives
that will dye your bath a brilliant hue without having the same affect on you or your tub
