Wish List spells

[Sage Rainsong]

I have heard of spells where one has multiple goals. For example you write a wishlist and put it in a white box with some bay leafs or sage or other appropriate herbs and you keep energizing it everyday until you get what is needed. I may have to do something like that because In a few months Ill need a good job and an apartment. Should I do something like this or is it spreading the energy too thin? Would you or have you done such as spell? Stories are more than welcome.

Aww, I'm sorry that no one has replied to this yet. I will offer my recommendation.
I think wish spells aren't spreading the energy too thin, especially when you draw your energy from the divine, or the earth.
There are many many, multiple wish spells out there. Yours is a good one, and one of my favorites is a wish circle, adapted from a S. Ravenwolf spell.
basically it's a poster, you draw a circle in the center, with either the god/goddess you like to involve, or all your indentifying information. Then from this circle, you draw eight lines coming out from it equally around, like a snowflake. And draw smaller circles on the ends of these. In each circle, you draw or write your wishes, one per circle, and if you don't have eight, then just fill the empty circles with your favorite colors. i wouldn't put more than eight to a page. Put your most urgent ones first, then as they come true, mark them off.
Create a daily prayer or chant and every morning when you get up, look at your poster and say your prayer.
OK, so actually this soudns more like the wishing spell from Antonia Beatte's book, but you get the idea.
Best of Luck!

Here is a wish spell I have in my BOS, even though I've never used it:

Bay Leaf Wish Magic

Write your wish on the back of a bay leaf, then keep it in a closed box. When your wish comes true, burn the bay leaf in a thanksgiving to the Goddess.

That is the spell, word for word. I am guessing you are supposed to energize the bay leaf with your intent. And there is no given color or what kind of box you should use.

I also have a Good Luck Spell, one I also haven't tried:

You will need: A tiger's eye gemstone, nutmeg, allspice and a charm

Cast the circle. Hold the tiger's eye in one hand and the charm in the other. Meditate for a few moments. See yourself and what your luck could be.

Now sprinkle the nutmeg and allspice on the charm and say these words:
"(charm--name of whatever charm you use) bring me good luck. May my luck change from this day forward. (charm--name of whatever charm you use) bring me good luck."

Close the circle. Now be sure to keep your charm on you at all times. If your luck doesn't change after a few weeks, recharge the charm again with this spell.


I'm sure the last spell can be easily adapted to suit your needs. From experience, I've noticed it to take a few months for my spells to work. Two of them took anywhere from 2-4 months, and one took 6 months. Make sure you don't do them after the Full Moon as you want to drawn energy to you. So I would definitly try to work these next month before the Full Moon. Any longer and it might take longer for them to work. Good luck!!

I feel as though "wish list" spells, or spells that combine different goals do indeed spread the energy too thin. The more energy you put into a spell, the more likely you are to have success with it, if you spread that energy 8 ways, it will feed energy to each of your goals, but not as much as if you focused on one at a time. Also, IMO, its important that you work toward that goal on the mundane plane, as well. Its a lot easier to work on one wish at a time than to put both your magickal and mundane energies toward several different ones.

I think its good to make lists of wishes and goals, they help you focus... but I think its better to focus on one at a time.
