To Banish Negative Forms From Your Home |
Begin with a purification bath. Light the twin candles on the altar and |
burn a protective and/or cleansing incense. Fill your chalice with fresh |
water (be sure to consecrate it) and blessed salt. Kneel or assume the |
Goddess position as you say: |
"Naked come I into this sanctuary |
With love and faith |
From those who have gone before. |
Innocent am I in understanding |
Holy and pure in my love of all good and blessed things. |
Supreme Goddess, ruler of light, |
Lord of all |
Hear my prayer, |
Help me now to dispel this thing of unholiness |
This creature of darkness, |
Who dooms itself to shame and unhappiness. |
Save him if it is thy will to do so. |
Send him to the light. |
Mercy is the song I sing; |
Forgiveness the word most precious. |
In thy everlasting grace I say this. |
In humility I ask this. |
So mote it be." |
Take up the chalice of salt-water, face the east wall, dip your fingers |
into the water, raise your hand and say: |
"Powers of the East |
Powers of the daystar rising |
And all fresh beginnings |
I purify you with salt and with water |
For good vibrations of friendship warmth and love." |
Then sprinkle some extra water and proceed to the south. Say: |
"Powers of the South |
Powers of the summer sun |
Which warms our bodies and our minds |
I purify you with salt and with water |
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love." |
Repeat in the west: |
"Powers of the West |
Powers of the purifying and cleansing waters |
From which all life comes. |
I purify you with salt and with water |
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love." |
Repeat in the north: |
"Powers of the North |
Powers of the earth, the ground |
On which we stand. |
I purify you with salt and with water |
For good vibrations of friendship, warmth and love." |
Then proceed around the room sprinkling water over all the |
thresholds, windows, and doorways and in all corners. REPEAT IN EVERY |
ROOM. |
Add more incense to the burner, take up, and do the same thing, using |
the same verses substituting "fire and air" in place of "salt and |
water." As before, proceed around the room censing all the thresholds, |
windows, doorways, and in all corners. REPEAT IN EVERY ROOM. |
Take the fire candle (or a candle for this purpose) and your athame and, |
starting at the door or entrance, walk slowly CLOCKWISE through the |
house, through each room pausing at each door, window, and mirror and |
moving the candle across it, also pentagramming each window, doorway, |
and mirror with the athame. Proceed room by room spiraling clockwise. |
All the while chant the following: |
"By the One Power |
I hereby consecrate this space |
To the Goddess and the God, |
According to free will |
And for the good of all; |
I hereby release, |
In all time and all space, |
Any negative cause, effect, manifestation, form or essence, |
Any negative event, thought, energy, idea or vibration, |
And transform it to |
And replace it with |
Only positive, joyous good |
In keeping with the Universal harmonies |
Of the Goddess and the God. |
This space is divinely protected |
This space is perfectly safe. |
Nothing and no one can enter this space |
Unless I (or my loved ones) allow them to. |
This space is sacred |
Consecrated and dedicated to positive living |
For myself and my loved ones |
And for the work of positive magic. |
No harm can come to this space, or anyone in it." |
As you draw each pentagram say: |
"Only good can enter here |
No negatives can enter |
All harm is sealed out." |
When you are back at the entry point conclude: |
"Love lives here |
Health lives here |
Abundance lives here |
(Name self and loved ones) live here |
We claim this space for ourselves, for the mutual good |
And so mote it be!" |
|
Magick Mirrors: |
To make one, you need: |
An 8 x 10 photo frame with a removable back and |
removable lass. |
Black high-gloss paint (not spray) |
Dried psychic hers: hyssop, dragons blood, orris root, |
anise seed, or any type of dried moss. |
A disposable mixing container. |
A paint brush |
Collect the items during the waning phase. Mix paint |
and herbs together until you have a thick tar like substance. |
Chant while mixing. |
"Vision of night, |
by the moon's dark light, |
enter my art...all evil depart." |
As you chant, imagine moonbeams entering the pain |
through your hands. Paint one side of the glass with |
the paint herb mixture using long straight strokes. |
Cover one surface completely leaving no |
holes. When dry, re-assemble with painted side down. |
Now you are done or you can add shells, stones, |
feathers, mirror pieces, symbols around the edges. |
|
|
Binding Spells |
|
Freezer Binding Spell |
Best done on the Full Moon or on a Saturday during the Waning Moon. |
Write the name of the person you wish to prevent from harming you on a piece |
of paper. Gaze at the paper and visualize the face of the person in question; |
see their face vividly imprinted on the paper. Then, fold the paper three |
times. Tie it up with black thread or string, and put it into a small |
watertight container. Fill the container with water, and place in a nook of |
the freezer where it's unlikely to be disturbed, saying: |
Stay there and freeze, for as long as I please. |
To reverse this spell, take the container out of the freezer and let it thaw |
in the sink for the day/night. Empty the water and paper down the drain or |
into the toilet. |
|
Discover True Friends: |
|
SPELL TO DIVINE THE IDENTITY OF YOUR TRUE FRIENDS |
This spell is written by Matthew McLauchlin. |
|
|
Perform during a full moon, preferably while the moon is in Taurus or |
Libra. |
|
|
Assemble the following: |
|
|
BASIL (against evil) |
LEMON and PEA (friendship) |
BAY (psychic ability) |
CINNAMON (dreams) |
HIBISCUS (divination) |
DRAGON'S BLOOD (catalyst) |
|
|
Place a potted PLANT on the altar (if you are doing this spell after |
having been betrayed in friendship, use an ALOE plant for healing). If |
you wish to divine the identity of your friends in a scry or other |
divination method such as tarot, also have an OBSIDIAN stone on the |
altar; if you prefer dream divination, use FLUORITE instead. |
|
|
Cast the circle and raise the power. Light a BLUE (truth and friendship) |
candle. Grind the herbs together; as you do so, imagine their power |
flowing through your arm into your body. Release the power into the |
stone you are using. Once you have charged the stone, sacrifice the |
herbs to the elements by throwing some into the wind, smudging (burning) |
some in your cauldron, mixing some with water and pouring it away, and |
finally burying the rest in your potted plant. Then if you used the |
obsidian, scry in its surface or have it with you as you perform some |
other divination. If you used the fluorine, wear it to bed that night |
and you will dream about your friends. |
Remember to record your dream so you can contemplate it more fully! Once |
your magickal workings are complete, bind the spell, earth the power and |
uncast the circle... |
|
Healing Flames |
|
|
Draw a picture of yourself with the disease, wound or condition. Clearly |
point out the problem in the picture: a large hammer against the head to |
represent a headache; black worms for a virus; a broken limb; a sore. |
|
Charge a red candle with healing energy. Light the candle's flame. Hold |
the tip of the picture in the flame. After it's lit, drop it into a heat |
proof container. |
|
Now, with the red candle still burning, draw another picture of yourself |
without the headache, free of the virus or sore, or with a healed limb. |
Place this picture under the red candle & let it burn out. |
|
You are done. |
|
Before practicing any love spells....If you want to enjoy all that love has |
to offer, begin by saying the following affirmation at least twenty times a |
day for one week: |
I am a magnet for love, |
Love is within me, without me, |
Before me and behind me, |
I AM LOVE. |
At the end of the week you will find that you feel stronger and more |
confident of your ability to attract love. This is the time to get ready to |
experience the greatest gift the universe can give a human being...." |
|
This followed: |
"An Aromatherapy Love Philter - The following heady blend of luscious |
essential oils is best burned in an aromatherapy oil burner. The blend is |
believed to be pleasing to the spirits of love... The recipe is based on a |
Caribbean love oil worn by young girls wishing to enchant their lovers. |
To an oil burner full of water add the following: |
Two drops of essential oil of patchouli |
two drops of essential oil of orange |
two drops of essential oil of cinnamon |
a hint of essential oil of clove |
If you wish to wear this blend of essential oils on your skin as a love |
perfume, add the specified number of drops of each to three teaspoons (15ml) |
of pure virgin olive oil and shake well." |
|
|
To Help pay Debts |
Take a key to a strong box and go to a country crossroads at midnight during |
the Full Moon. Lay the key in the middle of the crossroad and walk in a |
circle around it three times to the left and three times to the right, |
chanting: |
FORCES AROUND ME TAKE PITY ON MY FOOLISHNESS AND GRANT ME A SECOND CHANCE TO |
UNLOCK MY FUTURE AND UNBURDEN ME. |
Take the key home and put it on your keyring. |

The Mysterious, Magickal |
Cat by D.J. Conway C 1998 Llewellyn Publications |
|
Cat (Animal) Healing P 12-13 |
|
*Materials* : Statue of Bast and/or Sekhmet or of a black cat. Picture of |
the cat (or animal) to be healed, or at least their name written on a piece |
of paper. Green thread. A blue or white candle. Incense: lavendar lotus, |
or myrrh. |
|
*Timing* : Healing should be done any time it is needed; repeat the |
spellworking on the next Full Moon to reinforce and strengthen the healing |
power. |
|
*Other Advice* : Be certain that the animal in question really wants a |
healing, otherwise you will be fighting against their intuitive instincts. |
Cats and other animals usually have more spiritual sense than humans when |
it comes to knowing when it is time to leave life. Oftentimes the magician |
must learn when to let go and let life end in its natural course. |
|
SPELL |
Set up a little altar or sacred space, arranging the statues to the rear of |
your working area. Place the candle to the side of the statue or in |
between if you are using two statues. Light the candle and the incense. |
With the photo or paper with the sick animal's name on it before you, ask |
the goddess Bast to grant healing. Take as much time as you feel you need |
to express this petition. |
Sit quietly for a time, visualizing a stream of healing blue light coming |
from the candle and blending into the picture or paper before you. |
When the blue light ceases, take the green thread and cut off a piece 13 |
inches long. If you are using a paper with the name written on it, roll |
the paper into a small cylinder and wrap the green thread around it several |
times, tying it when you are finished. If you are working with a photo, |
just loosely wrap the thread about the photo. Do the thread wrapping while |
chanting: |
|
Lady of cats, large and small, |
Answer my entreating call. |
Cast out the sickness, bring the Light. |
Grant loving healing through Thy might. |
Renewing green, healing blue, |
I bind these energies into you. |
As threads about your image wind, |
Perfect healing to you I bind. |
|
Lay the thread-wrapped photo or paper near the statue, leaving it there |
until the candle is burned out. Burn the thread and paper (if you are |
using a photo, remove the thread to be burned and return the photo to the |
proper person) and dispose of the ashes and candle wax. |
|
Saying Farewell (Funeral type spell) Pg 22-23 |
|
*Materials* : Picture of the human or cat (or other animal) who has died. |
Statues or pictures of Bast and Isis. A goblet of fresh water and a small |
amount of salt. Incense: frankincense. A white and a black candle. |
|
*Timing* : Whenever it is needed and the time best for those participating. |
|
*Other advice* : Called a wake by the Irish, the farewell for someone who |
has died is a very important method of facing reality and releasing |
emotions, which if not released properly can cause great problems. No one, |
male or female, should try the stiff upper lip-it isn't mentally healthy. |
Have plenty of tissue on hand, and give anyone who needs it the luxury of |
letting it all out. |
|
SPELL |
Set up a little altar or sacred space, arranging the black candle on the |
left and the white candle on the right at the rear of your working area. |
Place the statues between the candles with the picture of the deceased in |
front of them. The goblet of water and dish of salt can be set to one |
side. |
Light both candles and say: |
|
We are gathered here to remember (person's or animal's name). Our sorrow |
is great because we can no longer touch and hold him (her), for we are |
still bound by a physical body while he (she) is free in ethereal form. |
|
Drop a pinch of salt into the goblet and gently swirl it to mix. Say: |
|
Salt and water, symbols of eternal creation. |
The taste of water and salt reminds us of the blood which keeps our |
physical bodies alive. |
Yet it also reminds us of the sea, the water of the womb, and the |
sacredness of the eternal circle of all life. |
(Name), we release you to the rest you need, knowing that one day, in |
another time and place once more we shall meet and know and love again. |
|
Lightly sprinkle drops of the salted water over the altar. Put out the |
black candle saying: |
|
You have cast off the Earthly body by which we knew you, |
|
Put out the white candle and say: |
But you have put on another body, one of joy and Light. |
Remember us. |
|
Now is the time for everyone present to recall pleasant, happy, and funny |
remembrances of the deceased. If there are tears, recognize them as a part |
of the healing process. |
|
|
|
To Lose Your Troubles |
|
Take a handful of earth and gaze into it. Put all your troubles and |
thoughts of distress into it. State exactly what it is that's troubling |
you. When finished, throw the dirt behind you and walk away without |
turning around to look at it. |
|
|
|
SUCCESS and CREATIVITY |
|
You will need: |
1 orange candle |
anointing oil (frankincense, cinnamon or rosemary) |
incense (frankincense, cinnamon or rosemary) |
|
Anoint the candle with the oil, focusing on being as radiant as the |
Sun, and accomplishing your goal successfully. See yourself as |
abundantly creative, and make a wish for accomplishing a specific |
creative project. Write down on a small piece of paper what you wish for |
... and put the piece of paper under the candle, and as you light it, |
say: |
|
"May this or something better now manifest in accordance with the |
highest karmic good for all concerned." |
|
Let the candles burn as you visualize your goal. |
|
You can repeat this for several days, up until the Full Moon, but let |
the candles burn all the way down on the last day. Keep the slip of |
paper on your altar, in a special small box, or in a medicine bag to be |
worn around your neck. |
|
|
A Bit of Weather Magick |
|
Sprinkle rice clockwise while another person or a musical tape |
plays slowly increasing drum beats. This sympathetic magic can |
work to bring rain or snow; for rain, I suggest dyeing the rice blue. |
This type of rain magic was common in the ancient Far East. |
|
Alternative tools here include shaking a rattle or rain stick (an |
African tradition), turning on a sprinkler, or even using a spritzer |
bottle. In European folklore it is said that hitting wet rags against |
stone or shaking a wet broom upon the ground can similarly |
encourage precipitation. |
|
|
Spell Usage |
|
Moderating or changing certain weather patterns. |
|
|
Spell Timing |
|
November and December. Waxing moon to bring a specific type of |
weather, waning moon to stop it. Water signs and Wednesday to |
encourage precipitation, fire signs and Sunday for dryness. Earth |
Day. |
|
A Moon Vow For The Loss Of Weight: |
|
When the moon shows cold and slender, |
Stand beneath her starved light, |
Wearing only white and silver- |
Say, to whet her appetite, |
I make my vow to fast until |
This crescent Moon shines round and full; |
While she waxes let me wane: |
I must lose, that she may gain |
While she grows, take silver wine |
Silver wine, silver milk |
And bread like snow, or linen fine, |
And fish as clear as ice or silk- |
But only these, and less of all |
Than you would wish, to feed her well. |
|
|
Witch's Bottle |
|
To make a witch's bottle, you must first select the bottle you want to use. |
Your bottle may be clear or tinted. If your working with a colored bottle, |
choose a color that suits what you are doing. Tinted bottles are great for |
spells that use color correspondence. Once you have a bottle, wash it with |
warm soapy water, or cleanse it in the ocean. After you have washed it |
magickly cleanse it, and bathe it in the light of the full moon. When the |
Bottle is clean it is time to fill it. There are a lot of options when it |
comes to content, here are some examples.... |
|
To make a witch bottle to aid in grounding, fill the bottle with sand, small |
rocks, granite, dust, and other such materials. Seal it with colored wax or |
cork, and place it in view when it is to be available to use. |
|
For protection from unfriendly forces, you can fill the bottle with very |
sharp objects such as nails, pins, safety pins, and needles. |
|
By collecting herbs, resin, leaves, roots, and spices and filling a bottle |
with them, you ca concoct a wide variety of wards, spells, or talisman. Add a |
base oil or cider vinegar and you have a wonderful gift for your friends, ( |
these would enhance their magickal life as well as their cooking) Iron or |
other metal fillings can be used to create a "magickal battery" or repository |
for specific sorts of working. Let the fillings acquire a good charge from |
various rituals and then use them in divination or spell work. |
|
You can also fill the bottle with a variety of flower petals selected for |
their healing properties attributes, or correspondences to planetary or other |
forces. You may want to include a bit of alcohol vinegar , or olive oil to |
preserve the flowers. |
|
Witch bottles are versatile, eminentley useful, and can be a lot of fun to make |
and share. |
