| Poetic Inspiration Perform on a Wednesday when the moon is waxing. Best if done when the moon is in Gemini, but it's not required. Light a purple candle. You can also burn some jasmine or rose incense if you wish. Say this incantation: "Oh Goddess Brigit, bright lady of the flame, blessed mother of the poets. Lend me such insight, wisdom, and divine inspiration that the words may flow to me and that I may may craft them beautifully so that they spin a tapestry of magic In the hearts of all who hear them. So mote it be!" Leave the candle to burn itself out. when it does, put it wherever you keep rituals remnants and give thanks to the Goddess for her gift. Confidence Spell You will need the following: A lionhead charm (buy or make one) Yellow candle Essential oil of rose, orange, or hazel Buy, or make, a charm that resembles a lion's head. (It can be as simple as you want it to be as long as you know what it is.) Pass it three times through the flame of a yellow candle, meditating on your esteem and the respect you truly deserve. Then infuse the charm with your energy by annointing it with the oil. Wear it (on a chain or in your pocket, wherever!) on you, and when you see or touch it, you will feel your confidence build within you. I know it's hard to find a lion's head charm, and you may wonder what the easiest way would be to make one. I would suggest taking a flat, smooth stone, clean it off, and use either orange paint or a thin permanent orange marker to draw a simple lion head on it. This way it will be fire-proof, and you can keep it in your pocket I give you love and thanks O Beautiful One. May the magic I have summoned Return the stronger when I have need of it. May wisdom, strength, comeliness and compassion Remain with me, growing ever finer. So mote it be!" Remember when choosing the candles for this ritual, find ones that will burn long enough to last you at least 3 days of repeating the rite. |
