|
| 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. |
