Advice-Increasing your personal power is a positive action
only when you are trying to build up your self-esteem or want
to stand up to someone who is manipulating or bullying you.
It is not a positive action if you use this spell to gain power so
that you can control others.
Spellwork-Light the altar candles and the incense. Anoint
the candles from the wick to the end. The candles are set out in
a triangular pattern with the silver at the top, the yellow at the
bottom right, and the purple at the bottom left. Place the black
obsidian near the silver candle, the jasper near the yellow, and
the agate near the purple. Light the candles in the same order,
beginning with the silver. Say the chant. Leave the candles to
burn out completely. Dispose of the wax afterward.
Chant-
All fear is washed away.
Only courage with me will stay.
I am in control of my destiny.
As I will, so shall it be.
