Get a white cord or ribbon, a green fluorite bead, a cup of water, and an empty bowl. Pour the water into the bowl, saying “River of forgetfulness, wash me clean and bless me. Take away [name the specific memory] and leave my mind strong and clear.�?Dip the cord into the water, saying, “White of purity and innocence, renew me.�?Dip the bead into the water, saying, “Stone of perspective, clear my mind.�?Now concentrate on the memory, pouring it into the cord. The memory is gone from your mind and is now in the cord. Pour the water out on the ground. Put the bead on the cord. Wear the cord around your ankle or wrist until it falls off on its own. When the cord falls away, the memory will be completely gone.

Breaking Bonds
Color of the day: Indigo Incense of the day: Rue
This is a spell for release. You may desire freedom from a particular attachment, a broken heart or bad relationship, financial burdens, a job, or even a bad habit. You will need a piece of twine or string, scissors, and a black or purple candle. Tie the ends of the cord together. As you tie the knot, visualize this bond as the controlling force from which you wish to break free. Name the bond aloud. Next, pick up the scissors. Imagine them as a sword you carry into battle. Pass them through the candle flame, envisioning the fire as your passion to be free, empowering the blades. Then, say the following:
As the Moon wanes, Release this bond. As the candle expires, Release this bond. As I cut the cord, Release this bond. I am free.
Cut the cord, then bury it. Allow the candle to burn out.

A Breath of Fresh Air Spell
Color of the day: Turquoise Incense of the day: Carnation
To cleanse yourself or a space and to bring a fresh perspective, perform this spell to bring relief from the “same old, same old.�?You will need a fresh lemon, a knife, a shallow bowl, and a fan.

Chant, “Clear awareness everywhere, sparkle and freshness in the air.�?Afterward, make the remaining juice into lemonade, drinking mindfully, imbibing the sweetness of a new vision.

Balancing Act
Color of the day: Red Incense of the day: Cedar
Sometimes it’s difficult to find the balance between our inner and outer selves. While there are no quick fixes for feeling imbalanced, this little spell should help. You will need a piece of obsidian and blue, black, and white candles (or gold and silver). Find a quiet time when you can sit and concentrate. Light the candles, with the blue one in the middle representing the balance between light and dark, inner and outer. Sit quietly for a moment, watching the candle flame and allowing yourself to grow quiet. Picture the balance that is your existence. When you feel ready, pour that image and your current stillness into the obsidian. Extinguish the candles and carry the obsidian with you for times of need.

Banish Harm from the Garden
Color of the day: Purple Incense of the day: Yarrow
Where I live, late May is planting season, but in a waning Moon planting is not ideal. Instead, use this spell to drive away harmful plants, insects, and fungi from your garden. (Of course, you’ll still have to weed and water and so on.) You’ll need five cloves of garlic, peeled. Visualize the strong protective power of garlic. See it glowing with a bright energy that drives away all harm. With your athame, wand, or hand, send this power into the garlic, saying, “Harm be gone, harm be gone, harm be gone!�?Place the garlic into the soil around your garden so that the five cloves form the points of a pentagram (a protective symbol). Say, “Harm be gone! So mote it be!�?as you place each clove. Immediately water or pull a weed or otherwise tend the garden to seal the spell.

Bury the Hatchet Spell
Color of the day: Black Incense of the day: Cinnamon
Choose today to bury the hatchet with someone from your past. It’s best if you can get a real hatchet for this, but one carved from balsa wood or made of paper will work too. Take as much time as you need to sit with this hatchet. Fill it with all the memories, judgments, and feelings that you associate with this person. Write all that on the hatchet, along with both your names. If you feel this person took power from you, then imagine yourself taking that back. Feel the power filling you. Use the hatchet to cut away any remaining cords that tie you to this person. Then take it outside and bury it. Place some sagebrush, pine, or cedar in the hole for additional purification. Ask the Earth to ground out these feelings and transform the energies.

Tis the eve of Beltane and the fairies are out in force. Here is a fairy spell to work in your own garden or backyard. Gather together violets, St. John’s wort, and clover. The violets are a fairy favorite. The St. John’s wort will protect you from becoming fairy-led or tricked, and the clover is for prosperity and good luck. Gather these plants together, forming a little posy, and then tie it up with green ribbons. Blow the fairies a kiss and leave the posy as a gift. Now go and sit in the garden and try to meditate or to communicate with the fairies.
Fairies from far and wide, I offer you a gift, Tied up in green for luck, And sealed with a kiss. I can sense you If I’m pure of heart, Bless me with good luck To boost my Witch’s art.

Bird Divination
Color of the day: Blue Incense of the day: Pine
May 10 begins Bird Week in Japan. Many people bird-watch and build new habitats for birds, while others practice a system of divination using the sighting of birds or bird-calls. One way to perform this divination is to cast your magical circle outdoors. If you sight birds in the east, the matter concerns knowledge, new ventures, or communication. If you sight birds in the south, the matter concerns change, passion, or inspiration. In the west, the portent has to do with relationships or your emotions regarding an issue. Birds sighted in the north pertain to health, money matters, or property. As to the bird sighted, the following is a brief summary of what a bird symbolizes: a rooster means good fortune; wrens symbolize happiness; crows can mean change; doves portend love and peace; ducks represent union and beauty; eagles and hawks symbolize authority; geese symbolize inspiration or love; hummingbirds represent joy; jays represent trickster energies; owls symbolize wisdom or death; robins represent resurrection.

Spell to Banish Jealousy
Color of the day: White Incense of the day: Nutmeg
Jealousy plagues relationships. Working with your partner or by yourself, you’ll create that green-eyed monster and then banish it. The energy you put into making a doll is part of your magic. You’ll make a monster; however you imagine that. Just make sure it has green eyes! While making the doll, think about jealousy. Think how unpleasant it feels, and how it harms your relationship. Think about jealous fights, and how you’d prefer not to have them. In a circle, consecrate and name the finished doll: “You are jealousy, the green-eyed monster. You are my/our feelings of jealousy and pain.�?Greet the doll. Talk to it. Tell it about jealousy. Pour your deepest feelings of jealousy into the doll. Say: “I/we banish you. Leave here and return no more!�?Throw the doll out of the circle. Close the circle. Take the doll to a dumpster or landfill. Repeat: “Leave and return no more!�?BR> By: Deborah Lipp

Breaking the Code Spell
Color of the day: Gray Incense of the day: Magnolia
The first Morse code message was sent on this day in 1884, going from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, MD. There are times when we can’t seem to fit in and we really want to find the knack or code for being part of a group. Find an old unused key and perform this small ritual as you get ready to join a gathering. Smudge yourself with sage. Holding the key in both hands, take a deep breath and connect to Mother Earth. Hold the key to your solar plexus, and as you breathe deeply say, “Key my power and energy to the vitality of the Sun.�?Hold the key to your heart and say, “Key my understanding to the wisdom of the heart,�?and hold the key to your throat and say, “Key my voice to speaking well.�?Hold the key to your third eye between your eyebrows and say, “Key my intuition to understanding rightly.�?Then breathe all this wisdom into the key. Keep the key in your pocket or around your person, and touch it if you need reminding of your own power to get what you need.

Banishing Spell Color of the day: Yellow Incense of the day: Honeysuckle The Tibetans celebrate a festival on this day dedicated to Agni Tara, the Hindu goddess of fire. Use the energies of fire and the waning Moon to banish negative energies in your life. This spell uses highly flammable spirits, so please be careful. Place your cauldron on a fireproof surface. Pour an eighth of a cup of 151 proof rum into the cauldron. Hold your dominant hand over the spirits and push the causes of your problem into the cauldron. Think about the thoughts you’ve been feeding the problem and push them into the cauldron as well. When you feel emptied of the negative energy, stand clear and light the rum. Say: Blazing force of Agni Tara, Transform me with your light. Hearken for my need is dire, Consume it with this rite. Thank the goddess. Act as if the problem is truly gone. By: Lily Gardner |

Be Here Now Spell Color of the day: Black Incense of the day: Ivy On this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Most Americans alive at the time can say where they were when they heard the announcement. When it is important to pay attention and be fully present in your life every moment, place sandalwood incense, patchouli oil, a brown or white candle, and a small bowl of soil from a garden or natural outdoor space on your altar. Call in your deities and light the incense while grounding your energies with Mother Earth. Light the candle and focus your attention on the flame, asking for focus. Take the bowl of soil and lift it up to the universe and chant: By the wisdom Of this dark soil, When distracted By my life of toil, Freedom from distraction Is my vow. I will be here now! I will be here now! Anoint your body in a star shape, saying “be here now�?with each step: left foot, right hand, left hand, right foot and forehead. Extinguish the candle and thank spirit. Later, when you feel yourself distracted, whisper “I will be here now�?to yourself. By: Gail Wood |
