A Charm for Gambling

On the first Thursday of the new moon, at the hour of Jupiter, before sunrise, write on virgin parchment: Non licet ponare in egarbona quia pretia sanguinis. Place the head of a viper in the middle of the page, fold the corners in, and when you are going to gamble tie the parchment with the writing and the head to your left arm, under your clothes, with a red ribbon.......

A Charm to Break Some Troublesome Habit

You must take a white egg, and, through small holes made in each end, blow forth the contents from the shell. Plug up one hole with a little softened beeswax, then fill the shell, using a fine funnel, with sour red wine. Carefully seal the second hole with more wax, and in red ink write upon the surface of the shell the name of that plaguing compulsion you would be rid of. Take this egg in secret to a place where great rocks cover the ground. Stand there and say these words:

Halls of blood where life has fled
Walls of bone that close me round
I break thy reign, thy yoke I shed
I cast thy powers to the ground

Hurl the egg against a rock so that it shall burst into fragments and the contents be spilt upon the Earth. Then gather up the broken bits of shell, take them home, and grind them to a powder in a mortar. This charmed dust should be kept within a small jar, a pinch of it to be placed upon the tongue and swallowed whenever further treacherous temptations may appear.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

A Charm to Rid the Mind or the Body of an Affliction

Gather a quart of water from some spring or stream, and pour it into a large bowl, set within a darkened chamber; by candlelight, then, take a silver knife and write with its point upon the water's surface the name of that which afflicts you. Next, soak a small lock of lamb's wool first in a sweet-scented oil and second in some red wine. Carry it to the bowl and drop it into the water, saying these words:

The dark be lightened
The harsh be softened
The rank be sweetened
By the power of the knife
And by the power of the water.

Leave the lamb's wool there to soak all night, until sunrise, when it should be removed, wrung out, and set to dry upon a small circle of white velvet cloth. Meanwhile, the contents of the bowl should be emptied out into a hole dug in the Earth, and the hole filled in again. When the lamb's wool is quite dry it should be sewn up in the velvet and pinned beneath your clothing, to be worn for a full month, and thereafter kept elsewhere in safety, that its charmed powers may not be diminished through neglect.

A Modern Witch's Healing Spell

To help speed a recovery from illness, write the sick person's name upon a white human-shaped candle of the appropriate gender. As you anoint it with three drops of myrrh or mint oil, visualize healing energy in the form of white light flowing from your hands into the candle, and say:

In the divine name of the Goddess
Who breathes life into us all
I consecrate and charge this candle
As a magickal tool for healing.

Place the candle on top of a photograph of the sick person and then light the wick. As the candle burns down, concentrate upon the person in the photograph, willing him or her to be well again, and chant the following incantation:

Magick mend and candle burn,
Sickness end; good health return.

A Protective Domestic Crystal Ritual

If you feel afraid when you are at home alone or you are encountering
external hostility that is hard to shed at the front door, sit as near as
you can to the centre of your home and hold your favourite protective
crystal. Gaze into it and let its soft colour enfold you in a protective
cocoon. When you feel safe, open doors and windows as you move clockwise
round the house towards the main exit. This would be the back door or in an
apartment a back or side facing window. Shake your crystal out of the back
door and let any negativity fly upwards in along black thread until it
becomes a dark cloud, which will then disperse into shimmering sunbeams.
Close the door and reward your chosen crystal with a soak in oure mineral
water for 12 hours.

A Spell for Healing

After Grounding, Centering and Casting the Circle...
Envision the person whom you wish to heal and imagine the energy surrounding you moving to encompass them. Focus on your positive emotions for the person and let them guide the flow of the spell; remember the trust that this person has given you in granting permission for this spell to be cast - this trust is also a strong link.

Light the Goddess Candle, reciting Her name and calling to Her power.

Light the God Candle, reciting His name and calling to His power.

From both lit candles, light a single, red taper (red for power, light, warmth and healing) set in a green base (for nature and healing).

Fill the Chalice with natural water (if possible) and wet a strip of cloth in it.

Chew a small bit of fresh Ginger Root (for strength and the power of the spell) and then place it in the center of the cloth. Sprinkle this with Rosemary (for healing).

Call out to the Goddess and God both, invoking Them to heal the person in need with words that flow from your feelings. Simple and direct wording asking for nature's gift to heal the subject of their affliction.

Light the wrapped Ginger Root and Rosemary with flame from the red taper and place it within your Cauldron or on a fire-safe place. Visualize the flames carrying the healing energy up and away to help the person in need.
Thank the Goddess and God.
Close the Circle.
Ground any excess energy.

A Spell for House blessing

Equipment
Bells, light blue candles, ritual oil, a large quartz crystal,several pieces
of onyx or obsidian, and two pieces of rose quartz
From the book, True Magic, by Amber K Llewelyn

The Spell
This consist of three steps: Clensing, blessing, and sealing (protection)
Assemble your group and assune, but do not cast a crcle right away.
Beginning at the heart of the house, proceed deosil through every room and
level, ringing the bell and asperging with salt water. Go to the heart of
the attune again; then once more, this time with candles, and sprinkle
rosemary in every room. You want to sing or chant a blessing ryme such as:
"Goddess bless this house below, Honored God bless this house above; keep it
safe by night and day, fill it with Their power and love"
Then return to the heart, attune, and cast the sirsle. Seated with linked
hands, chant wordlessly (or use "Evohe" or "Om"), and with a swelling,
powerful circle of sound, expand the magick circle until ti encloses all the
house and grounds.
Then proceed one last time, with the ritual oil and stones. The large
the large crystal stayes at the heart of the house, where it has been
charged by the chanting. An onyx or obsidian ward is placed over each door,
and a spiritual envoking pentagram is draw with oil over every opening, door
and window, fireplace or vent. The two rose quartz pieces are placed on
either side of the main entrance into the house. The group returns to the
heart for singing and refreshments. Leave the circle up. Once the initial
cleansing is done, merriment and humor are not out of place in a house
blessing: they can set the tone for happy times to come. If you wan a chant
or poem on the light side, then use this at some point in the process:
"This home be safe from tigers wild,
Here only tame things domiciled;
No bogle , troll nor grinch allowed,
Noe motley mob nor creeping crowd.
Bless everything within these walls,
No matter if it sits or crawls.
Let mild weather be inside,
For those 'neath this roof tree bide; And too if not enlightenment
Then piazz, love and merriment.
And if these lines seems slightly odd,
Be glad at least the mostly rhyme."

A Home blessing Meditation for charging a room:
Sit straight with palms on lap. Take deep breaths, relax and move into a
mental place where you activate your intuitive senses. Imagine a cord of
energy from your spine connecting you to the earth, and channeling your
energy from the earth through it. Silently ask for devine protection,
guidence, and blessing. Direct your psychic sensing outward, and feel lines
of force coming out of your aura. Note where the strongest energy is.
(check the floor, cielling, directions, ect.) Note spots that feel empty or
dead, note places that feels full; alive, focus on where you are sitting and
how you feel at this particular spot. Imagine a sphere of light and love
energy at your heart, feel it pulsing outward with every breath, feel
youself as a star, continue to brethe deeply and send out the energy,
letting it pulsate in the room. When ready, star making power sounds
representing the love and light you are channeling; use it to amplify the
light you are weaving; then fill the room with energy. Then shift focus to
sending the probe out into the room, and note the differences in the quality
of energy and how you feel about it. Repeat if neccessary, when done, feel
the completeness of the work.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

A Spell for the Jilted Witch

Rise before sunrise on a Sturday or a Tuesday when the moon is waining.
Select a branch (traditionaly of hazel, but any tree will do) of "one years
growth" and lop it off with your Anthamé, chanting these words as you do:

I sever thee, thou virgin branch, in the name of [victime's name]
for purposes of (his/her) downfall!

return home with this switch, and cast that night, when you feel sure
your enemy is sleeping. Cast a circle using an incense of wrath and
chastisement. Then visualizing the face of your victim in the altar
triangle, and beging at the east, begin circling the altar and rotating on
your own axis "counterclockwise". As you do, chant these following words
with each personal revolution; make as many of these personal pirouettes as
you can fit in.

Droch! Mirroch! Esenaroth!
Betu! Baroch! Maaroth!

When ever you find your self facing the altar, strick it hard with the
switch held in your left hand. Make three complete revolutions of the
circle. When you finally reach the east after your last cicuit, drop to the
floor, completely " letting go" and chanting the words "so mote it be!"
Traditionally, the person who has offended you will feel the blows, if
not on his face, then at least dealt out by fate.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

A SPELL FOR THE RELIEF OF MAGICKAL HEADACHES

Find a place to be alone. This place should be comfortably lit and free of
smoke and fumes (this includes incense and essential oils). Place two chairs
(one comfortable enough to relax in) facing each other. Sit in the relaxing
chair. Take two slow, deep breaths and allow your eyes to fall naturally on
the other chair. Now instruct your central 'self' (or your higher self,
subconsious mind, or whatever you use for non-consious workings) to form an
image of the pain in that chair. REMEMBER TO BREATHE! As the image starts to
appear, concentrate on making it as detailed as possible without letting your
consious mind interfeare. Once the image is complete, note its appearance and
then allow the remainder of your discomforts to flow into it (without
otherwise empowering it or lending it your energy or essence). REMEMBER TO
BREATHE while doing this. When the transfer is substantially complete, take
two deep, relaxing breaths, stand up, and walk away (leaving the image in its
chair). After an hour or so, the image will dissipate, making it safe to move
the chair.

After you have successfully done this two or three times, you can start
streamlining it and customizing it to suit your own tastes. If the
effectiveness starts to fade, return to this method for a few times.

This spell can be used for a variety of discomforts, but it can also mask
medical symptoms. In case of chronic or prolonged problems, CONSULT A DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY! After all, there are few enough of us as it is!

[Goddess Rhiannon]

when in need.A Spell of Protection

Sit or stand before any fire. Look into the flames (or flame, if using a candle). Visualize the fire bathing you with glowing, protective light. The fire creates a flaming, shimmering sphere around you. If you wish, say the following or similar words:

"Craft the spell in the fire;
Craft it well; Weave it higher.
Weave it now of shining flame;
None shall come to hurt or maim.
None shall pass this fiery wall;
None shall pass No, none at all."

Repeat this simple yet effective ritual every day

[Goddess Rhiannon]

A spell on creativity.

To Stimulate Creativity
For this spell you'll need a flute or air instrument of some kind. Panpipes,
a harmonica, penny whistle, but an instrument made out of wood or bamboo is
best. If you've never used such an instrument before, get to know it prior to
using it in magic. Be certain that you can make it create the desired sounds.
Then, do the following: Light a yellow candle. Hold the flute before it while
saying these or similar words

Music magic
Come to me;
Music magic
Let me see.
Music wakes the
Muse in me:
Music magic
Come to me.
Music magic
Opens me
To the music
Mystery.
Mystic mind
Awakened be.
Music magic
Sets me free.

Visualize yourself writing that letter, composing that speech, finishing that
painting, weaving that rug, or beginning to work on that book that you've
been meaning to write for some time. Now play the instrument for a few
seconds. You don't have to play a song; simply let the flute bring forth it's
energy through its music. Once you've accomplished this, set down the
instrument and, within sight of it, do your creative work. If your conscious
mind once again block you, play the flute for a few seconds and go back to
your work. When you're finished for the moment, snuff out the candle flame
and put the taper and instrument in a special place until the next time you
need them.

Isis, Goddess who heals all Release this (cold, flu, etc.) from me Make me well again.
Chant this as you feel the toxins leaving your body. When you feel slightly shakey (this will happen!), drain the tub and visualize the toxins washing down the drain. Rinse your body and your tub with cool water, visualizing all of the toxins washing off of your body, and your body becoming free of what you were sick with. Bring the candle to your room and immediately go to bed, keeping the candle light for a few minutes as you visualize yourself waking up feeling much better.

*Note: If you need to, put a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a cotton pad and put it by your pillow. This helps a lot!

[Goddess Rhiannon]

You can carry the charged stone with you if you like. Note: This spell can be repeated as many times as necessary.
*If you are kind and a good person, you will never be ugly.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

A Spell to See Spirits

To see spirits, old European grimoires recommend mixing
together aloe, pepper, musk, vervain, and saffron and burning this
in a cemetery. We can adapt this for other locations (like those in
which the spirit lived) by adding a bit of sweet grass or tobacco to
a specially prepared incense. Create the incense on the
anniversary of the death of the individual you wish to contact.
This is then burned at 11 am, in the safety of a magic circle that
also holds symbolic items to connect you to the entity. An
incantation to encourage the spirit's presence is "Guardians of the
Spirit realm, hear and guide my plea. When the witching hour rings
true, bring my friend (loved one, etc.) ________ to me. Other
souls who hear my call are not welcome in this place. Only the one
known as _____ may enter sacred space."

Repeat the request three times, twenty minutes apart, then wait
quietly for indications of a presence. Signs include the scent of
flowers or a favored cologne, a cool wind, movement of curtains,
and candles going out or twitching erratically. Once you feel sure
the spirit is with you, do not make it tarry overly long. Take care of
your business, say farewell, and thank the guardians for their
assistance.


Spell Usage

Communication with and understanding the purposes of spirits.

Word of Warning: Spiritual entities should not be banished or
called for amusement. It is best to contact a knowledgeable,
experienced psychic for advice or assistance before undertaking
any of these spells.

Spell Timing


In-between times (noon, midnight, dusk, and dawn). Halloween.
Seasons of late fall and winter. Moon in Libra. Eclipses.
Wednesday.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

A Token for Expelling Negativity

To make a portable tool for expelling negativity, begin by dabbing your
pulse points and chakras with a mixture of powdered cloves and lemon
oil. This opens the avenue for spiritual purification. Next, take a
small, square black cloth and a slightly larger white cloth. Hold the
black cloth with both hands. Visualize the habit you are trying to
banish as black sludge coming out of your pores and being absorbed by
the cloth.
Once you feel the negativity has been discharged, take the white cloth
in hand saying six times, "This is the light of protection, of purity.
As it covers the darkness, so it brings safety to me." As you speak
these words, imagine a blinding white light pouring into the cloth. Lay
out the black swatch, place some pine needles and frankincense bits on
it, and then put the white one over it. Carefully bundle the two
together so that no portion of the black can be seen. Carry the token
with you to expel negativity wherever you are. General Uses
Expelling negative energies or spirits. Turning malevolent magic.
Ridding oneself of obsessions, addictions, and phobias. Time
The light of day, specifically dawn. The months of January, July, and
October. When the moon is in Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius. During a
blue moon. On your birthday or dates with special meaning.

All Heal Spell

An easy to do All Heal Spell ... to aid in the healing of all
conditions, or to soothe the symptoms of serious illness.Items needed:
2 Bowls warm water
Bless or empower the water as you see fit... I just pray to the God and
Goddess and ask them to aid me in my healing, then I send as much
personal energy as I can into the water. Lie upon the bare earth (if not
possible, floor is OK). Have each hand in a separate bowl of warm water,
arms stretched out to the sides.
Visualise roots sprouting from the base of your spine, going down into
the earth. Breath deeply, and with each deep, slow inhalation, feel the
roots burrow deeper into the earth. see a bright light at the
center...see your roots penetrate it... now with each slow, deep breath,
draw up the energy from this light into you.
See two streams of light begin to come from the sky, one stream into
each bowl...feel the love of the God fill the bowl to your left, feel
the love of the Goddess fill the bowl to the right.
Draw this love from the bows into your body through your hands. Collect
the love energy from the bows and the energy from the earth into your
heart, where your most personal energy is kept. Build all the energy
here...until you can contain it no more.
When you can no longer contain the energy in your heart, release the
energy to flood your entire body, and shout as loud as you can "HEAL
ME!!!" at the same time as the release.
Continue to draw the energy for a while, letting it flow through your
body, and spilling onto the ground...relax, and enjoy the peace that
will settle over you.
After you have relaxed for a while, draw up your roots into your body,
remove your hands from the water, and sit up. Take a sip from the bowl
to your left, and thank the God for his love, then spill it at the base
of a tree. Then take a sip from the bowl at your right, and thank the
goddess for her love, then spill it upon the same tree. In the future,
care for this tree...it has been blessed by the love of the gods (the
water) and it will aid you in your health.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Note that your altar should be something reflecting you as well! So you don't always have to follow this thing to a 'T'. Have fun and Blessed Be:)
Types of Layouts


Elemental: Arranged by the four elemental corners Usually set on a square table for easier alignment Corners (or sides) set to be aligned with the four courners.

Diety Based:
Arranged with the Masculine elements (Air, Fire) on the right side and the Femanine elements (Water, Earth) on the left. Usually set on an enlongated table My personal altar (commonly refered to as my "Candle Table") is a basic example.
Some Basic Componets

God and/or Goddess symbol: A personal symbol that one places somewhere on the altar to remind themselves of the presense of the God and/or Goddess in their lives. It can be anything from a purple (Goddess) or gold (God) candle to a statue of the Virgin Mary (Christian's do have beautiful statues of Mary...)

Athame: A black handled, *traditionally* double bladed knife used to direct natural energy from within the body to the outside realm. This tool aligns with the element of Air and Fire (making it sacred to the God), and is most easily used (compatable) with those aligning with Air and Fire. The athame is the shortened version of the sword. It was shortened to make hiding one during times of perseqution easier. Now, though, swords are usually just used in Covens for rites.

Cauldron: A symbol of the Goddess. Salts are placed inside it and set on the altar to represent earth and energy can be directed into it during rituals. Also, herbs can be mixed inside of them for spells and they can be used to hold just about anything. The idea behind it is that the cauldron is a representation of the life giving power of the Goddess, thus making the cauldron the symbolic representation of Her womb. Wand: Used for invocation purposes and is rarely used to direct energy. Airs seem to work the best with this tool, as it aligns with the God (again, Air and Fire). Wands can be any shape or size, colour or make. I have a small Live Oak branch for my want, personally, but I know that it is posible to have wands with crystals on the end (possibly for better energy directing) as well as inscribed with runes.

Pentacle: A flat piece of metal, clay, wood, stone, or natural substance on which the five pointed star (pentacle) is drawn. The pentacle, when worn as a tailsman, is a symbol of protection. Pentacle on altars are most often used by Earths (though I'm an Air/Water crossover) and I have a wax one near my altar and a metal one in the pouch I carry around. Something interesting I've been told about the use of pentacles during rituals is that, for Earths, one can place a spell or tool on it and it helps stabilise and charge whatever you're doing.

Censer: (I.E. incense burner) Incense is used used to purify a sacred space or to help shift awareness to the spiritual world behind the physical. Any element can use this for ritual purposes and it is most commonly used to represent the element of air (and fire, if you really think about it).

Bells or Instruments: Used to mark portions of rituals or spells as well as to (like incense) shift awareness to the spiritual world. Again, airs are partial to bells or instruments.

Natural Altars look something like this... Look around your living space and I'm sure that you'll find an altar. All an altar is, is a place where you honour the memory, the idea, or anything of something you consider important. For me, my dresser can be seen as an altar because I have comics that are special to me on it as well as pictures of my friends, items that mean a lot to me, and a moving force in my life, music (My sterio and Cd collection). Check and see what you've got, it's always fun to go, "Hey! I've had an altar all along and I never knew it!"

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Amulet spell

Items needed: pen/ paper, stone/object, bag/necklace
Take the problem/ thing you wish protection from (I.E. negative
energy) and write it down, give as many details as possible (boss at
work with a negative attitude, girl down the hall with bad temper).

Take the paper and visualize the problem, then, visualize a barrier
of glowing light flowing down from Deity and protecting you (some good
ones for this are Athena, protecter and warrior, and the God in his
protective aspect, also, any of the Cat Gods (Bast, Sekhmet) have their
protective aspect, and the Goddess as Mother is protective)
Visualize a shell covering you in all three dimensions, above below, in
all the directions(the Guardians may be invoked here if you wish,) also
in the astral, and anywhere else you need protection. Take all of this
energy and project it forward into the object you have chosen to be your

amulet (an onyx stone works well for me). Let the energy pour through
you, and into the stone. Keep the shell up! It is protecting you, and
flowing into the stone. When you feel the spell is complete, slowly turn

off the flow of energy, and place the circle surrounding you into the
object, saying works like "this circle now is not dispelled, this circle

now it is withheld, this circle now it protects me, as I will so mote it

be". Then, burn the paper, symbolizing that the porblem has no control
over you, and take your charged stone/ object and carry it on your
person when you face that situation.

Also: Remember to pray & spell about the situation, keeping yourself
protected from it and dissolving it are two different things, but they
do go hand in hand.

An Approach to Dispels a Headache

If you have a headache lay down gently, and close your eyes picturing nothing but darkness and stars brightening up the eternal darkness. See the satellite and see yourself laying there in space, and see red laser rays coming from your head going into the satellite. Keep picturing this, and then see the satellite letting out blue rays of energy, good energy going into your head. Keep it up for at least three minutes, and after those three minutes slowly lift up your head, and very slowly shake it, and you should feel your headache gone from you.

ANTI-DEPRESSION SPELL

Sure-fire, anti-depression spell. Note that this spell requires the daily
involvement of the depressed person.

Your thoughts, if any, should be of the sun.

thoughts during these meals should be of the moon and the tides.
3.On those mornings of the days when you are not having shellfish as your
evening meals, you should begin you day with the following tea: 1 tsp.
feverfew tincture in alcohol (you can prepare this by soaking dried feverfew

ginsing powder, 1 tsp lemon balm, 1 tsp green tea. Pour boiling water over
all of this in a chinese tea-pot, and drink all the tea.
4.At least 3 days of the week, go for a 20 - 30 min walk in a quiet,

***To Attract a Love
Play a CD or Tape of some romantic music that means something to you. Make
sure that the music does not include songs that
you associate with another person. It is important to keep specific people
out of your mind performing this spell. On a sheet of
cardboard, light a candle of your favorite color to represent you. Then,
light a red or pink candle to represent whoever your
new love may be. Using a red magic marker or crayon, draw a heart around the
red candle. Every day for at least a week,
relight the candles in the evening, and as soon as you light the candles,
move them slightly closer together, so that on the last
day, the candles are as close together as possible.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

To Attract A Lover

This is for when you have a lover but he or she is not as attentive as you would wish. You know they love you, but....

Sit before a dying fire and gaze into it, clearing your mind of all but thoughts of your lover. Have a small basket of laurel leaves between your knees. Keeping your gaze fixed on the fire, dip your left hand into the basket, take out a handful of the leaves, and toss them onto the fire. As they burst into flame, chant out loud the following:

Laurel leaves that burn in the fire,
Draw unto me my heart's desire.

Wait till the flames have died down, then repeat the action. Do it a third time. Within 24 hours your lover will come to visit you.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

***To Attract Customers to a Business or Visitors to a Home
Make a fine powder out of some basil leaves and sprinkle them around the
main enterence to the home or place of business. It
is believed that only good and friendly people will enter, since it
supposedly repels those who intend harm toward the workers
of a business or the occupants of a home.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

To attract others of like mind and to surround yourself in love.

Materials:

orange candle
vanilla oil
needle & thread
6 sunflower seeds (soaked overnight in water to soften the outer shell)

Anoint the candle with vanilla oil and light it. As it burns, chant:

Come from here and come from there
People whom my ideals share
Come one, come now, come all to me
By Sun, Wind, Earth, and Shining Sea!

Thread the needle and string through the first sunflower seed. Say:
With seed one, the spell's begun

String the second seed, saying:
With seed two, my wish comes true

With the third:
With seed three, it comes to me

Fourth:
With seed four, it's at my door

Fifth:
With seed five, it grows and thrives

And with the sixth seed:
With seed six, the spell is fixed

Knot the ends of the thread together to form a ring. Rub a little
vanilla oil into the center of the seed ring, and leave it by the
candle until it burns out. Carry the ring with you as an attraction
charm!

Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest

Tools:
In addition to your m'jyk-l tools you will need:

* A Red Alter Cloth
* A Wicker Basket
* A Red Apple
* Assorted Fruits and Vegetables of the Second Harvest (Berries, Squash,
Corn, etc)
* A Bell
* A Fallen Tree Branch
* A Bolline
* A Sprig or Two of Ivy
* An Autumn Blend Incense
* Any other Personal items of choice

Preparation:
Sweep area, moving in a deosil (clockwise) manner. Outline your Circle with
a
red cord, low vibration stones, or various Harvest items such as wheat,
corn,
beans, etc. Set up your alter and place the red alter cloth over it. At
center top, place the wicker basket, filled with the assorted fruit and
vegetables. Place the apple and the bolline on your Pentacle or a plate.
Place the tree branch to the right of the basket. Place the rest of your
tools and props according to your personal preference. Take a shower or bath
for purity. Sit quietly and meditate to ground and center. When you are
ready, begin by playing some soothing music associated with the Sabbat and
your ritual.

Cast the Circle and call Quarters.....Pick up your Wand in your right hand,
face your alter, and with arms stretched out above your head, say:


"I honor Thee, Autumn Queen, and Thy consort, the God of the Harvest.
The Wheel has once more turned, and the change of season begins.
What will be is. What was will be.
The Equinox is upon us, and the time to reflect, at hand.
All time comes together, here and now in this sacred space.
And I, but a moment in time, feel the change as I pass From one season to
the
next.
The Second Harvest has been reaped, and the time of rest is deserved.
Go now My Mother and slumber.
Go now My Father and dream of re-birth.
I shall be here to greet Thee on Your return."

With arms still out-stretched lower your head and close your eyes.
Contemplate what you have just spoken. When ready, open your eyes and lower
your arms. Pick up the apple and place it in the center of the
Pentacle/plate. Cut it crosswise with the Bolline, to reveal the natural
pentagram at it's core. Then lift half the apple, pentagram up, as if in
offering, while saying:


"As the Wheel turns, the seasons pass, and the years give 'way To the next,
Guide me most Wise Ones,
Lest I forget
Every beginning has an ending
And every ending is a new beginning."

Take a bite of the apple. Put the rest aside to share later with the
wildlife. Pick up the tree branch and shake once at each direction, starting
with North, saying:


"As the days grow colder, and the nights last longer,
May I remember the summer past.

With sunlight fading, and hearth inviting,
My memories will warm my soul.

From a season of hard work and hard play,
I hear Mother's voice calling me forward.

While I rest, shall She lull me, with songs of a dream,
As close to Her bosom I cling."

Face the alter and hold the branch out in front of you with both hands,
saying:


"With memories of the summer, least I never forget,
And aspirings for the colder months to come,
Least I never stop striving,
I honor Thee with this symbol of Nature,
Keeping it and Thee in my home and heart,
That I may see it and pause,
To reflect on the Ancient Mysteries,
Leading me to a better understanding of myself,
And of others, and all that is Life."

Put the tree branch on the alter, into the basket of fruit so that it sticks
out, back in your direction. Contemplate on the various memory symbols that
you have attached to it. Also contemplate on the various projects for autumn
and winter that you have attached to it. Close your eyes and feel the
seasons
pass within the circle from summer to autumn. When ready, say:


"Between the worlds I stand in this sacred place.
All time is here and now.
As I leave this circle, the season shall have changed,
And I will have changed with it.
May I use the short time of Winter Finding
To draw the strength and power from within
As I quest for vision, understanding, and peace."

Pick up the sprig(s) of ivy, and wrap around your arms, from the elbow to
the
wrist. Pick up the Bell with your right hand, and ring thrice, to toll the
passing of the first 3 seasons of the year. Now place it in your left hand
and ring once to usher in the 4th and last season of the year. Place the
bell
on the alter and the ivy in your cauldron (for burning later).


"In Life is Death, and in Death is Life.
The Sacred Dance goes on and on
From whence we came, we shall return,
And come again.
Seasons pass, and pass again,
The circle stays unbroken
Heed the words of your child, here,
Through Your wisdom I have spoken."

It is now time for meditation and spellworking. Associated spellworkings
would include those for protection, wealth, security, and self-confidence.
If
there is no spellworking, celebrate with Cakes and Ale, then release the
Circle. Clean up. You are done. Find an appropriate place in your home to
display the decorated tree branch.

*Find a fallen tree branch. It need not be a large one, for it will adorn
your alter, then go on display in your home. The more smaller offshoots from
the main branch, the better. Mine has four, which I think is awesome! Next,
take a couple of pine cones, small shells, dried flowers, or any other item
that reminds you of the late spring-summer months. With some string, tie
each
to the offshoots. Also take yarn or ribbon of yellows, oranges, reds, and
gold and tie one end to the offshoots. Then, on very thin strips of
(colored)
paper, write down some projects to work on during the upcoming ' dark '
months. Wrap these around the offshoots (like little cocoons) and tie closed
with silver thread. These you will open over the next couple of months when
you start feeling lethargic or without a sense of direction. I tie on a
couple of small bells, to add some ambiance to my ritual... >>

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Autumn Healing
You can prepare this lovely spell container by working magick as a group, or as an individual working alone. You will need one dried, hollowed out gourd. Cut off the top. Place a picture of the person who needs healing energy in the gourd. (Two of our gourds were for the safe delivery of a baby.) If you already have a lot of magickal supplies (herbs, powders, oils, gems, etc.) sit quietly and think about the person. Ask your patron God or Goddess (or totem animal/guardian angel) to lead you in the right direction for what should be included in the healing gourd. Fill the gourd with empowered items thinking about the health of the individual. Add a few things that will make noise if you shake the gourd. When you are finished, seal the gourd by gluing the top back on. Paint the person's name on the gourd along with any magickal symbols or sigils that matches the individual's personality. If you don't have magickal supplies, you might want to get out your copy of Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Herbs. Tie dried flowers, herbs, charms, and amulets to a rawhide cord or silk cord around the neck of the gourd. When you give the gourd as a gift, shake it while you hand it to the person to activate the magick.
We made four gourds this past week. In healing circle we passed around the gourds and empowered them as a group. Here are some of the items we put in our gourds:
1. A picture of the person.
2. Rosemary - banishing negativity, healing. (dried)
3. Orange Peel - success. (dried)
4. Basil - helps herbs and items work in tandem.
5. One rose petal - love.
6. One penny (from each person working on the healing).
7. One cowry shell (clear vision.)
8. Cloves (protection).
9. Cinnamon (success).
10. Goddess statue or charm for each gourd.
11. Amber and jet beads for those who reached the rank of HPS.
12. Three drops of healing oil.
13. Three drops of success oil.
14. Three crystals.
You don't have to use these exact ingredients. They are only listed here to give you and idea of what we used. A bit of Orris Root will help the herbs retain their aroma.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Banishing

Its a simple but effective banishing spell....

1. Clear your mind
2. Focus your energy
3.Chant the following:

"Sand and sea,
Wind and sun,
Banish it, its power is done!"

[Goddess Rhiannon]

To Bind Your Anger

In your right hand, hold some sandy dirt. Poor all your anger into it and then say:
Anger I bind within my hand,
Now I toss it to the land
With harm to none, and for the good of all, so shall it be!
Now throw the dirt over your shoulder and walk away without looking back.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Binding


Binding is a practical example of how a normally harmful and strictly "hands off" form of magick can be an effective and perfectly harmless magickal procedure.

If a friend wants to borrow something, and you feel hesitant in letting the object out of your hands, but you must, take the object (if it's something small enough to move around and hold) and a cord.

Bind the object to your body -- literally, physically tie the object to yourself. Stand or sit a few minutes, visualizing yourself receiving the object back from the person you are loaning it to.

Afterward, cut the cord (do not untie the knot!) and loan the object out, assured you'll once more have it in your possession.

If the object is too large, such as a car, take a piece of cord, tie your hand or arm to a piece of it (such as the steering wheel, antenna, and so on) and proceed as above.

Put the cord in a safe place until the object returns

[Goddess Rhiannon]

[Goddess Rhiannon]

THE BIRTHDAY RITUAL
To begin with you must choose something as a "marker" for the Pentagram. This should be something small and plentiful--every year you will add one more. I use peridots for my markers, but other items such as sea pearls, pebbles from the beach work well. You should keep in mind that this needs to be something that will stand the test of time. Plant products, such as resin (frankincense or myrrh), berries or seeds, are not a good choice.
You will also need 6 candles, one for each point of the pentagram. The pentagram is said to represent the human form; the top point is your head, the side points your arms and the bottom points your feet. In this ritual, the pentagram represents you. A candle is placed at each point and in the middle. The colour of the candle and how you bless it will depend on your wish (petition) for each point. The center candle is a general wish for the upcoming year. The top point represents what you wish to receive spiritually this year. The right side point of the pentagram (keep in mind that this will be to your left--the pentagram's right as it faces you) represents what you wish to receive this year on a material level and the left side point represents what you pledge to give this year on a material level. The right bottom point represents where you wish your path to lead and the left bottom point represents what you pledge to leave behind you as you go.
PERSONALIZING YOUR RITUAL: Take the time to plan each wish and each candle carefully. For each individual candle, I choose a specific God/Goddess and select 3 herbs, an oil, and a very small crystal appropriate to that particular God/Goddess as well as a petition to say for each one. By use tealight candles for this ritual, the candles can be popped out of their foil container and a pinch of each herb plus the crystal are placed beneath in the foil, the candle is anointed with oil and then returned to the foil. When done this way, the flame gives an extra burst of energy right before it goes out. This part can be personalized however you choose to express your wishes. The type of candle you use and what elements you wish to use for each point is entirely up to you.
SETTING UP: Use your markers to form the outline of the pentagram--how many you will have depends on how old you are. When determining how many you need, keep in mind that you are asking for the year ahead. For example, on your 32nd birthday, you will be making wishes for the 33rd year of your life; therefore you will need to use 33 markers. Set the markers out with the top point facing north, left is to the east and right is to the west in invoking direct--start at top to right bottom point to left side point to right side point to left bottom point and then back to top. Once you have laid out the markers, place you candles, petitions, offerings at the points.
THE RITUAL: To be performed solitary! Cleanse yourself and your area; call the directions; cast your circle; call upon the God/Goddess for their blessings in your own preferred fashion. Light the candles, staring with the center candle, then the top (be careful not to get burnt by the center candle, watch the robe sleeve), the right side, the left side, the right bottom and the left bottom. As you light each candle, state your petition (wish). Allow candle to burn completely (Candles should burn entirely on your birthday so make sure to start early and use smaller candles--not for 7 day candles). Close the ritual and allow the candles to remain burning. Once the candles have burnt out, retain the markers for next year and toss the crystals into a river.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Blessings for the Home
Sit Straight with palms on lap, take deep breaths, relax, and move into a mental space where you activate your intuitive senses. Imagine a cord of energy from your spine connecting you to the Earth, and channel energy from the Earth through it. Silently ask for divine protection, guidance, and blessing.
Direct your psychic sensing outward, and feel lines of force coming out of your aura. Note where the strongest energy is (check out the floor, ceiling, directions, etc). Note spots that feel empty or dead, note places that feel full alive, focus on where you are sitting and how you feel at that particular spot.
Imagine a sphere of light and love energy at your heart, feel it pulsing outward with every breath. Feel the radiance increase with every breath, feel your self as a star, continue to breathe deeply and send out the energy, letting it pulsate in the room. When ready, start making power sounds representing the love and light you are channeling; use it to amplify the light you are weaving; and fill the room with the energy. Then shift focus to sending a probe out into the room, and note the differences in the quality of energy and how you feel about it. Repeat if necessary, When done, feel the completeness of the work.
A room blessing involving elemental quarter invocations:
Face each direction (with arms out in appropriate elemental invoking gesture), and say, while channeling and visualizing elemental power: - Powers of (say direction), - Powers of (say corresponding element), - We great you, we honor you, we welcome you here! - Watch over and bless and protect this place. After each invocation, shape the energy into columns of light by sweeping ones arms together until they are parallel and sweeping them up and down while channeling and shaping the energy. When the energy is properly shaped, say so "mote it be."
After you have done all four quarters, channel in spirit energy.
To return the energy to a more mellow state while energizing yourself, put your hands out and take in a bit of the energy into your self from each direction, going widdershins, hold hands to your heart and take in the energy (techniques also exist for bringing it into a stone and retrieving it when needed).

Breaking A Curse

On the first night of the waxing moon, gather the following ingredients:
•a square of black cloth a little larger than your hand. •1 tablespoon
of curry •1 tablespoon of dill •1 tablespoon of vervain •1 tablespoon
powdered ginger •1 consecrated black candle •paper and black ink pen •1
black string, knotted nine times

On paper, write the full name and birthdate (if known) of the person who
has cursed you. Place the paper in the center of the bag. One at a time,
add the herbs, covering the slip of paper. Next, take the lit candle and
drip 5-10 drops of wax over the paper and herbs.

Visualize the person who has cursed you and say their name aloud three
times while tying the bag shut with the knotted string. The final step
is to bury the bag someplace on the property of the person who cursed
you. The bag must remain there undisturbed until the next waxing moon.
At that time, dig up the bag and burn the contents. This will weaken
that person's power (usually until the night of the full moon) and the
curse should then be broken.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Bring Someone Close Spell
There are any number of ways to do this spell. You can drip water on photos of you and your beloved. You can set a candle in a bowl of water and allow it to burn until the water extinguishes it. However you do it, visualize your beloved arriving from afar to find your love!
Sacred water flow from me
To draw him ever near
As endless rivers run to sea
His path to me is clear.
A love that's true once here he'll find
And know his journey's end.
And in his heart and soul and mind
He'll know our lives should blend.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

the box.

Chant for Good Grades

This is a spell to help you do well on tests. You still have to listen to what the teachers say and do your homework, but this should help you from making careless mistakes. Don't expect the god/dess to do all the work for you!
You can draw a pentacle one your paper if you want, but you dont have to. Throughout the day before taking the test say the following:
On this test I take today
I will receive no less than "A".
Earth, Wind, Fire and Sea
As I say so mote it be!
Now take the test and you can even say it a few times while taking the test. Say it in your head so others won't be disturbed.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Charge of the God


Listen the the words of the Great Father, who of old was called Osiris,
Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other
names:
My Law is Harmony with all things.
Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life and mine is the dish of salt of the
earth that is the body of Cernunnos that is the eternal circle of rebirth.
I give the knowledge of life everlasting, and beyond death I give the promise of
regeneration and renewal.
I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, and my protection blankets the earth.
Hear the words of the dancing God, the music of whose laughter stirs the
winds, whose voice calls the seasons:
I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, sun among the clouds
and the secret of the flame
I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me.
For I am the flesh of the earth and all its beings.
Thru me all things must die and with me are reborn.
Let my worship be in the body that sings, for behold all acts of willing sacrifice
are my rituals.
Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, joy and peace, awe and longing
within you.
For these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself, within me, all
beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Consecrating a Sword or Athame
Lay sword (or athame) on pentacle, preferably by, and touching, another,
consecrated, weapon. The man asperges them with consecrated salt and water,
whereupon the woman picks up the weapon to be consecrated and passes it through
the imcense smoke and replaces it on the pentacle. Both lay their right hands
upon the weapon and press down, saying:
Both: "I conjure thee, O Sword (Athame), by these Names, Abrahach, Abrach,
Abracadabra, that thou servest me for a strength and defence in all
magical operations against all mine enemies, visible and invisible.
I conjure thee anew by the Holy Name Aradia and by the Holy Name
Cernunnos; I conjure thee, O Sword (Athame), that thou servest me
for a protection in all adversities; so aid me now !"
Again the man asperges, and the woman censes, and the weapon is returned to
the pentacle, saying:
Both: "I conjure thee, O Sword (Athame) of Steel, by the Great Gods and
Gentle Goddesses, by the virtue of the heavens, of the stars
and of the spirits who preside over them, that thou mayest receive
such virtue that I may obtain the end I desire in all things
wherein I shall use thee, by the power of Aradia and Cernunnos."
The Partner gives the Fivefold kiss unto the owner of the weapon.
If the owner is not present, or if the weapon is jointly owned by them both,
the man will give the Fivefold kiss to the woman. For the final kiss upon
the mouth, the weapon is suspended between their breasts, held there by the
pressure of their embrace. As they seperate, the owner of the weapon
immediately uses it to recast the Circle, but without words.
Notes: If possible, lay sword with an already consecrated sword or athame.
It should, if possible, be consecrated by both a man and a woman, both of whom
are initiated, and both naked as drawn swords. During consecration, press down
on sword hard with consecrated sword or athame. If possible partake of Cakes
and Wine first, then Magus should sprinkle with water, Witch should cense in
First Conjuration, then sprinkle and cense and conjure again with Second
Conjuration. If true sword and athame are available, a sword and athame can be
consecrated at the same time in which case Magus should press with sword on
sword, and Witch with athame on athame, and new sword and athame should touch.
In any case, when finished the weapon should be handed to new owner with
Fivefold Salute, and should be pressed against the body for a time to get the
aura; and it should be in as close connection as possible to the naked body for
at least a month, i.e. kept under pillow, etc. Do not allow anyone to touch or
handle any of your tools until thoroughly impregnated with your aura; say six
months or as near as possible. But a pair working together may own the same
tools, which will be impregnated with the aura of both.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Consecrating Other Working Tools
Place tool on pentacle, and lay right hand(s) on it, saying:
"Aradia and Cernunnos, deign to bless and to consecrate this
White-Hilted knife (or whatever) that it may obtain the necessary
virtue through you for all acts of love and beauty."
Magus sprinkles, Witch censes. Then say:
"Aradia and Cernunnos, bless this instrument prepared in your honour."
(if Scourge or Cords, add "... that it may serve for a good cause and
end and for your glory.")
Again Magus sprinkles and Witch censes. (Hand tool to new owner as you
would a sword or athame, with a Fivefold Salute.)
All these weapons should be presented to the new owner with Salute. If
a Witch Queen, the downward pointing triangle as in the first Degree
Initiation. End ceremony with Fivefold Salute. The new owner
should immediately use the new instruments, i.e. form Circle with Sword,
then Athame, incise something with White-Handled knife, exhibit Pentacle to
Four Quarters, cense to Four Quarters, use Cords and Scourge; and should
continue to use all of them in a Circle as often as possible, for some
time.
To mark out a new Circle, stick sword or athame in ground, make a loop in
cord, and slip over; then, using cord, mark out a circle, and later mark it
with point of sword or athame. Always renew the Circle with sword or athame
when about to use, but have it marked so that you always retrace it in same
place. Remember the Circle is a protection, a guard against evil influences,
and to prevent power created from dispersing; but the Witch, not being evil,
may enter and leave freely. But in Art Magic, it is a barrier against forces
raised, and when once in the Magus may not leave without great danger. If any
great danger is manifested it would be advisable to take refuge in the Circle;
but ordinarily sword or athame in hand is perfect protection against anything.
Those who make these tools must be purified, clean and properly prepared. When
not in use, all tools and weapons should be put away in a secret place; and it
is good that this should be near your sleeping place, and that you handle them
each night before retiring.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Cord Magick

For this you will need a cord, or cingulum as it is sometimes called, that is nine feet long
(three times three; the perennial magick number) and is the colour
appropriate to the magickal working. It is best to make your own by
taking three lengths of red silk (or wool, nylon, whatever you prefer -
though natural materials are preferred) and yourself plaiting them into
one. As you plait, concentrate on putting yourself - your energies into
it so that it becomes another part of you. Like your Athame, no one
else should ever use your cord but you. Tie a knot in each end to keep
it from unraveling. Make sure it is nine feet long.
Consecrate the cord, when done. Some traditions use their cords
tied about their robes and wear them all the time at Circles.

One magickal use of the cord is as a "storage cell" for the
power. Rather than dancing around and working as a group, the coven
will work as individuals, sitting and chanting, holding the cord in hand.
As the power starts to build, each covener will - taking his/her own time and ignoring, or
mentally separating him/herself from the others - pause from time to
time to tie a knot in his/her cord. The first knot is tied at one end,
with the words "By knot of one, the spell's begun." S/He will then go
back to chanting - oftimes swaying from side to side, or back and forth
- until s/he feels it is time to tie another knot. This is tied in the
opposite end with the words: "By knot of two, it cometh true". Then
back to the chanting. As s/he chants, s/he also pictures what s/he
wants...s/he "takes aim". So it goes on; chanting and picturing, then
tying a knot. As the power builds, more knots are tied until there are
nine knots in the cord. They are tied in a particular pattern and with
appropriate words. The first knot, is tied at one end;
the second at the other end. The third is tied in the middle. The
forth is halfway between the first and third; the fifth halfway between
the second and third. Here is the pattern of tying, together with the
appropriate words:

By knot of ONE, the spell's begun *--------
By knot of TWO, it cometh true *-------*
By knot of THREE, so mote it be *---*---*
By knot of FOUR, this power I store *-*-*---*
By knot of FIVE, the spell's alive *-*-*-*-*
By knot of SIX, this spell I fix ***-*-*-*
By knot of SEVEN, events I'll leaven ***-*-***
By knot of EIGHT, it will be Fate *****-***
By knot of NINE, what's done is mine *********

At the tying of the last (ninth) knot, all the energy is directed
into the cord and its knots, with a final visualization of the object of
the work. The power has been raised and is now "stored" in these knots
in the cord.
Why would you want to store a spell? For some magick, the time for
it to happen is important. Suppose, for example, that you want
something constructive to happen but the most propitious time for it to
do so happens to be close to the New Moon. Do you do your constructive
magick during the Waxing Moon? No. You do it early on, at the Full
Moon, using a cord.
Now the power is there, properly raised, but stored for use.
You have nine knots. Although they are all tied in one ritual,
these must be released one at a time - one a day - for nine consecutive
days. Release them in the same order in which they were tied, NOT the
reverse order. In other words, on the first day untie the knot that was
first tied (to know which end you started with, when making the cord,
braid in a small wooden bead at one end and always start with this end);
on the second day, the second knot tied; and so on. In this fashion,
the last knot untied, on the ninth day, is the ninth knot that was tied
at the climax of the tying ritual - the time of greatest power. Each
day, before you actually untie, do your concentration on what is to
happen, rocking and again building power. Then, as you release the
knot, release the power also with a shout.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Cross our Paths Spell
Ingredients:
Yellow candles
Yellow or white thread
Needle
Picture of yourself
Picture of intended
Magnet or lodestone
On a night during the Waxing Moon, and preferably when the moon is in
the phase of Gemini (for communication) gather the above ingredients and
go to a place where you can be alone for at least 30 minutes.
Light the candles and hold the pictures within your hands and chant this
charm:
Image of me, Image of thee,
Coming together, forming three.
As you say this, cut the images so the two of you are not part of the
origional photos any longer. The pictures are then to be sewn together
with the needle and thread. The new photo is then to be placed on your
alter, and atop should be placed a lodestone or magnet to draw the two
of you together.
On the Full Moon of that month, light a yellow candle and place the
charm underneath the candle to work your magick. Say this to release the
spell:
A picture of you, a picture of me,
A picture of us, together shall be.
Come, if you will, to be with me,
This is my will, so mote it be.
Now that the magickal part of this scheme is done, you must work the
mundane part. Write or call him and ask to meet him. If he says that he
is too busy or what have you, try again another time. This spell is not
meant to force the person to do anything they aren't willing to do. Just
let them know that your offer is always open.

Daily Spiritual Prayer

(Taken from “To Light a Sacred Flame” by Silver Raven Wolf)

Items needed: 1 White candle and yourself

Hold the candle in your hands and envision positive success and power coming into your life. Ground and Center (you know, take a deep breath, feel yourself relax, and your inner self stabilize) As you light the candle say the following:


GREAT MOTHER, HELP ME TO OPEN THE PATHWAYS TO MY SUCCESS. GREAT FATHER, ASSIST ME TO REMOVE ANY BLOCKS THAT STAND BETWEEN MYSELF AND MY GOALS. THANK YOU FOR MY PROTECTION AND THE GIFT OF FOCUS. THANK YOU FOR THE SUCCESSES I HAVE HAD BEFORE, AND THE SUCCESSES THAT I KNOW I AM GOING TO ACHIEVE. THANK YOU BOTH FOR MY SUCCESS. WITH HARM TO NONE. SO MOTE IT BE!!


Stand back from the candle, then stretch your arms out in front of you, a little above your head, palms facing outward. Envision abundance and white light surrounding you. Ground and center if you feel jumpy. If your candle is still burning you can allow it to burn out or you can put it out and relight it each day for the prayer. When the candle can no longer be lit bury it in your backyard.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Daisy Chain Spell To Bring Joy Into Your Life

To bring joy back into your life, pick a bunch of daisies. Shorten the stems to approximately 3 inches in length. With your fingernail, cut a small slit halfway down the stem of one flower and insert the next flower into the hole. Repeat the process until you have a daisy chain. While you work, chant:

Daisy, happy little flower,
Lend your joy to me this hour.
Bring your mirth into this band
As I chain you with my hands.

When the chain is long enough to slip easily over your head, securely tie the first and last stems together. Place the chain around your neck and say:

Daisy chain, once flowers free,
Bring wildest joy now unto me.
Bless me with gaiety and mirth
As I live upon the Earth.
And as you dry in heat and air
Take with you my worries and cares.

Wear the chain for the rest of the day, then hang it up to dry.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

DARK FARIES


There are a number of Little Ones who can be considered Dark Faries. These
are the entities who are primarily connected with the Earth. Sometimes they
are called Dark simply because they like to live in dark places such as
under
stairs and in basements, not because they are evil.

The Coblynau of Wales are mine spirits who knock where rich ones can be
found. The Knockers from Cornwall (also called Buccas) are like the
Coblynau
of Wales. The Gnomes are Earth Elementals, who live underground and guard
the treasures of the Earth; they are also wonderful metal workers,
especially
of swords.

Goblins or Hobgoblins originally were not the nasty, evil creatures
portrayed
today; they were a small, grotesque but friendly type of brownie. The Bwca
or Bwbachod of Wales is also a type of brownie. The Brownie himself (called
Bodach in Scotland, Fenodoree in Manx, and Pixies or Pisgies in West
England)
dresses in brown clothing and makes himself responsible for the house where
he lives; unless offended, he is an amiable little creature.

Dark Evles and Faeries of the Unseelie Court can be unfavorable to humans.
They have had good reason not to trust us. They often shelter in dark
areas,
under stairs, or in the attic or basement. Ordinarily, the most they do to
humans is make them feel very uncomfortable in their inhabited areas.
Sometimes they were called the Sluagh or Host.

Dwarves are probably the best known of the Dark entities. They are not the
stupid, silly creatures portrayed by Disney, but keepers of the Earth, its
minerals, and gems. They are marvelous workers in metal: swords, magickal
items, jewelry, etc. One should not take things from their kingdom without
asking their permission.

Rather than being frightened of these entities, you would be wise to
cultivate their friendship. Those dwelling within your house will protect
and bless it if you are their friend. Those who dwell outside or in the
ground (and they are everywhere!) will bless your property, making the
plants
and trees grow better and once in a while allowing you to turn up some stone
or other treasure that will help you in your magickal work.

Gnomes and dwarves like a clear dark green color or a rich brown. You can
entice them to your altar with candles of these colors. Also use pyrite
(fool's gold) and steel or iron. Spicy scents, such as ginger and cinnamon,
draw their attention.

Elves like the colors of silver, light green, or light blue. They are fond
of ginger, lily of the valley, fir, and floral scents. You can attract them
by laying out silver, quartz, rock crystal, and moonstone.

All of these Dark Faeries or beings are attracted to ginger, honey, and
milk,
as well as by rock crystal. If you call them to participate in a ritual,
keep it light and full of fun. They like happy music and dancing.

To commune with these Dark Faeries and creatures, set out a little ginger
beside some crystals. Light Earth-colored or the appropriate candles. Have
cookies and juice for a party. Chant:

Little Ones, from dark places shady,
Come to me, both Lord and Lady,
Dressed in magick clothes and flowers,
Teach me in the twilight hours.
As the clouds flow past the Moon,
Sing to me an eldritch tune.
Whisper magick of the land,
Mushroom ring and wooded strand.
Keep this home a happy place,
Of merry heart and smiling face.
Welcome here, you are to me.
Let us be friends happily.

Now is the time to sing and dance and be merry. Share the cookies and juice
with them. Leave the ginger and crystals on the altar overnight.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Diet Spell


During a ritual on the full moon, draw an image of your body (realistic) to signify your true shape. Then, on the inside of that body, draw the body you wish to have. Erase the outer lines and redraw slightly. The next night, repeat, and so on, ending on the night before the new moon, until the figures match To reach an old friend or loved one that is far away, write them a letter, address it, and burn it over a raging fire. You will receieve an answer.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Divination Spell
Best Time: Waxing Moon
Fill a cauldron half-full of water and place it on a table where you can see comfortably into it while seated. Light 2 purple candles and a good divination incense; a combination of mugwort and wormwood work well. Arrange the candles so their light does not shine into the water in your eyes. Focus your attention on the bottom of the cauldron, your hands placed lightly on either side. Breathe gently into the water and say:
Cauldron, reveal to me that which I seek
Great Mother, open my inner eye that I may truly see.
Empty your mind as much as possible; remian relaxed while looking deep into the cauldron waters. The answer may come in images in the water, pictures in your mind and strong bursts of "knowing".

[Goddess Rhiannon]

Domestic Magic for Money

In parts of the United States, copper coins are kept in a copper pitcher in
the kitchen to attract money to the houshold. Another popular US money
ritual involves placing a large stone either on the hearth or near your
stove and leaving it for exactly a year to ensure the money will flow in

A variation which can be adapted to the smallest kitchens involves placing
a flat stone on a metallic dish near the stove or microwave. Each week, put
a small coin to form a circle around the stone. As you do so, light a
small, flat, scented candle on top of the stone in a small holder. Choose
yellow or orange for money, scented with one of the money fragrances, such
as cedarwood, cinnamon or orange. See the smoke and flame of the cnadle
warming and incubating your money and let the candle burn out naturally.

Everytime you use your stove or microwave, visualise the heat expanding
your money. Tell family and friends not to borrow the coins. Each time you
light the candle or stove, see your financial prospects improving and your
efforts bearing fruit.

Once the circle is complete, use the money to buy a present for someone who
is sad or if there is no one, put it in a charity collecting box. Money
should flow in naturally, providing you do not wait for magic to solve your
problems. You may find a new source of income or a money spinning idea come
as soon as you have spent your magickal money. Place the stone where
someone else may find it and use it.

DRAWING DOWN THE MOON

In this ritual the Goddess becomes incarnate in the High Priestess. The High Priestess stands in front of the altar with her back to it. She holds the wand in her right hand and the scrounge in her left. She crosses her wrists and crosses the wand and scrounge above them while holding them close to her breast. The High Priest stands in front of her and says:

"Diana, queen of night
In all your beauty bright,
Shine on us here,
And with your silver beam
Unlock the gates of dream;
Rise bright and clear.
On Earth and sky and sea,
Your magic mystery
Its spell shall cast,
Wherever leaf may grow,
Wherever tide may flow,
Till all be past.
O secret queen of power,
At this enchanted hour
We ask your boon.
May fortune's favor fall
Upon true witches all,
O Lady Moon!"

The High Priest kneels before the High Priestess and gives herthe Five Fold Kiss; that is, he kisses her on both feet, both knees, womb, both breasts, and the lips, starting with the right of each pair. He says, as he does this:

"Blessed be thy feet, that have brought thee in these ways.
Blessed be thy knees, that shall kneel at the sacred altar.
Blessed be thy womb, without which we would not be.
Blessed be thy breasts, formed in beauty.
Blessed be thy lips, that shall utter the Sacred Names."

For the kiss on the lips, they embrace, length to length, with their feet touching each others. When he reaches the womb, she spreads her arms wide, and the same after the kiss on the lips.The High Priest kneels again and invokes:

"I invoke thee and call upon thee, Mighty Mother of us all,
bringer of all fruitfulness; by seed and root,
by bud and stem, by leaf and flower and fruit,
by life and love do I invoke thee to descend upon the body of this,
thy servant and priestess."


During this invocation he touches her with his right forefinger on her right breast, left breast, and womb, repeats the set and finally the right breast. Still kneeling, he spreads his arms out and down, with the palms forward and says:

"Hail Aradia! From the Amalthean Horn
Pour forth thy store of love; I lowly bend
Before thee, I adore thee to the end,
With loving sacrifice thy shrine adore.
Thy foot is to my lip
(he kisses her right foot)
my prayer up borne
Upon the rising incense smoke; then spend
Thine ancient love, O Mighty One, descend
To aid me, who without thee am forlorn."

The High Priest stands up and steps backwards. The HighPriestess draws the Invoking Pentagram of Earth in the air with the wand and says:

"Of the Mother darksome and divine
Mine the scrounge, and mine the kiss;
The five point star of love and bliss
Here I charge you in this sign."

The High Priestess should be in a trance now. This is a good time to do the Charge or the Witches' Creed.

When the Charge or Creed is finished, the Goddess must be dismissed. It is bad magical practice not to do so.

The High Priest faces the Priestess and says:

"We thank you Our Lady for attending our rites. We bid you farewell till
next we call you. Blessed Be."

Dream Protection Spell
This is something I wrote when someone put a spell on me to use my own thoughts against me. This spell reversed that one! (author)
Tools:
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (or another fruit juice)
1 tablespoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
1 light weight cauldron (a glass bowl works too)
1 piece of paper
1 black pen
2 black or red candles (1 of each works best)
Mix the lemon juice, sea salt, and oil into your cauldron. Place the cauldron in front of you on the floor. Sit comfortably and place the candles beside the cauldron (red on left, black on right.) Rip the piece of paper in half then set it aside.
Light both candles, left one first. Now close your eyes and visualize a sphere. In the middle of the sphere, visualize yourself stuck inside, trying to get out. See the black and red candles burning around you. Watch as the candles spin around you, getting faster each time they pass. Then see yourself magically being released. On one piece of paper, draw a picture of what you saw. On the other, write down your biggest fear. Light both pieces of paper on fire, using the black for the written half, red for the drawing. Then throw them into your cauldron. Take the cauldron outside and pour it (paper and all) into a hole in the ground. Cover the hole with dirt. The spell is done.
