Fairy Cheer Charm
Color of the day: Turquoise Incense of the day: Balsam
Although folklore often portrays them as tricksters, the fairies are generous to those who befriend them. They are especially fond of things they can’t easily make or obtain themselves, such as cream and butter. Rich yellow butter also draws on the power of the Sun. For this spell, you need a small piece of real butter—organic butter, if you can get it. Put the butter on a plate, and set it outside in the morning. (If you don’t want to leave good dishware outside, use a leaf as a plate.) Then say:
Fairy folk, so full of cheer, Bring a happy presence here. Grant to me a sunny fate, As the butter on this plate.
The fairies will consume the essence of the butter and grant you a joyful day. In the evening, bring the plate back indoors.

Find Your Love Match
Color of the day: White Incense of the day: Yarrow
Have your altar set up with symbols of the four elements. You’ll need a pink candle and an ashtray or fireproof tile. Draw a picture of yourself (or whomever you’re doing the spell for) and a picture of your ideal lover (someone you haven’t yet met). Cut each picture out in a heart shape. Place the two pictures one on top of the other, facing each other. Roll the two pieces of paper up together, and tie the bundle with pink or red thread or ribbon. Consecrate the bundle by the four elements, sending power into it. Visualize love, attraction, and magnetism. Say, “This love match is soon to be!�?while sending more energy into the bundle. Light the pictures on the candle and burn them in the ashtray. See the energy released into the world to do its work. Scatter the ashes outdoors.

Fairy Protection Spell
Color of the day: Amber Incense of the day: Hyacinth
The month of May is traditionally associated with the fairies, and interactions between this world and the fairy realm are common at this time of year. In Celtic folklore, human beings venture forth to meet with both mortal and fairy lovers. If you desire this type of relationship, carry talismans of protection that will allow you to return to this world. These Scottish lyrics tell of a union with a fairy lover—use them if you dare!
Bannocks and cream I’ll give to thee, Wine of the wort I’ll give to thee, Well I’ll love thee, Under the plaid, If you come home with me To the fairy knoll. I was last night In the meadow, Drinking ale with the Beguiling one. I left my love in the doorway Of the fairy bower With eyes like a star And a voice like a Stringed instrument. My green-clad love Of the mist.

Fresh Start Spell
Color of the day: Scarlet Incense of the day: Cedar
Use this spell to create a fresh start whenever you feel the need. Light two candles, one red and one white, and keep them in a place where you can watch them burn. Visualize anything in your life that you want to change or be cleansed of—such as bad memories or a bad habit. Imagine the red candle consuming and the white re-energizing you with pure, white light. Consuming fire take away, Obstacles that block my way;
Cleanse me with The purest light, Renew me, Make my spirit bright.

A Fertility Spell
Color of the day: Orange Incense of the day: Eucalyptus
Whether you want to be fertile in body or in another aspect of your life, now is the time to call out and honor Flora and ask her for her blessing. For this spell you will need to purchase a plant that most represents your need. For instance, an orchid according to Chinese tradition is a symbol of many children. Poppy will bring fertility in money matters, while bachelor’s buttons will assure you of “alone�?time in abundance. Place the plant in an eastern window and say:
New beginnings in the east, Bring fertile beginnings To my quest. Flora, please make My desires complete, Let them grow as I bequest. Here is my wish for fertility, Three times spoke, So mote it be!
Whisper to the plant your wish three times, and water it. Lovingly do this every time you tend it. As it grows, so will your wish be sown.

Friday Night Love Spell
Color of the day: Rose Incense of the day: Alder
The lucent Libra Moon is close to full and Fridays promise romance. Venus is surely in attendance. It is a perfect evening for a little sex magic! In the Tantric tradition of yoga, couples practice postures to encourage a vibrational flow between them. They build a loving bond by engaging routinely in this very simple exchange of energy. To foster love and intimacy in your relationship, light a red candle next to your bed. Mist the sheets with lavender water to create a sense of calm. Lie down together side by side, facing in the same direction. Position your heart chakra next to your partner’s. Visualize a ray of green light emanating from this heart center known as Anahata, uniting your bodies as one. As you lie quietly, silently chant:
Lovers entwine, Combine, align, Our hearts like a poem pulse In rhythm and rhyme. Weaving our bodies Together like vine, Binding forever Our love for all time.

Full Moon Messages Color of the day: Pink Incense of the day: Cypress The winter Moons are a wonderful time for divination and spiritual self-study. December’s Full Moon is known as the “Cold Moon,�?or “The Moon of Long Nights.�?As the light of the Sun becomes weaker, night magic and the power of the Moon becomes more potent. This water spell combined with the energies of the Full Moon will enable you to scry with better success. First set up your scrying altar in a private space where you’ll be undisturbed. Cover the altar with black cloth and fill your cauldron half full of spring water. You may decide to place a quartz crystal or a piece of obsidian in the bottom of the cauldron. Place a silver candle next to the cauldron. Next draw a warm bath. Light a few candles and add three drops of lemongrass, three drops of mimosa, and three drops of magnolia to your bath water. These oils are powerful aids for psychic ability. Swirl the oils around with your receptive hand. Lean back in the tub and soften your gaze. As you breathe in the essences, feel the watery parts of you being drawn to the Moon. Imagine the tides, the sea creatures, yearning toward the Moon. You are yearning toward the Moon. You, too, are a creature of the Moon. The Moon has a message for you. When you feel you must leave the bath and discover the message, approach the scrying table. Turn the lights off and light the silver candle. Cast a magic circle around your space, then seat yourself at the table. Keep a soft, unfocused gaze. Empty your mind of doubt and worry. Just breathe and watch. You will see images. The Moon has spoken. By: Lily Gardner |

A Frost Moon Spell Color of the day: Crimson Incense of the day: Apricot November’s Full Moon, the Frost Moon, beckons us to look deep within. Occurring during the month when the Sun is in Scorpio, the Frost Moon is a potent time to look beyond the obvious. Nature seems to be dying. Dry leaves click as they skitter along country lanes and suburban streets. And during the chilly nights, the ebony darkness is pierced by the eerie sound of a hooting owl. But take a closer look and you’ll see nature is only resting. Tree branches are covered with buds containing next year’s flower and leaf. In the following spell take advantage of this transitional period to set your goals for the future in motion. Cut three bud-covered tree branches and tie them together with green ribbon. After dark, stand outdoors beneath the Frost Moon. Carry with you the bundle of branches and a silver coin: they symbolize growth and success. Looking at the Moon, speak your most secret wish. With deep reverence raise the coin and branches and speak this charm: All nature is still, But as the world retreats into darkness My wish will be nurtured, And eventually fulfilled. Keep your coin and branches until the spell does its work. By: James Kambos |

Foxglove Healing Spell Color of the day: Gray Incense of the day: Pine Foxglove, a plant long associated with the fairies, blooms at this time of year. It is sometimes also called “fairy’s thimbles�?or in Scottish Gaelic Lus-nam-ban-sith, the “plant of the fairy women.�?Certain parts of the foxglove can be used for healing remedies, but they must be used very carefully. The plant was also associated with Witches and with a variety of magical spells for love, protection, and success. Use this charm when gathering foxgloves: I will pluck the fairy wort from the fairy bower with expectation to overcome every oppression. Fairy wort, fairy wort, I envy the one who has you. There is nothing the Sun encircles, but to her is a certain victory. By: Sharynne NicMhacha |

Fresh Beginning Spell Today marks a fresh beginning. Use this time to reflect on your accomplishments from the last year, and set goals for the year to come. What were your New Year’s resolutions last January? How many of them did you keep? If you’re like most of us, you managed to keep some but not all. Here is a spell to improve your chances this year. You’ll need a piece of parchment paper and a pen—preferably a quill pen with a bottle of ink to dip it in. Write out your New Year’s resolutions; four is a good number. Sign your magical name underneath. Then say: Out with the old And in with the new! Remind me what I have sworn to do, And give me the Strength to follow through. Roll up the list and tie with a brown ribbon, for grounding. Keep it on your altar until next year. By: Elizabeth Barrette |

Oil-Pine or peppermint. Herbs-Dragon's blood or ginger. Incense-Jasmine, peppermint, or pine. Stones-Carnelian and lapis lazuli. Other Supplies-None. Timing-On the full moon or waxing moon cycle. Day-Thursday. Advice-No magical spell will work unless you do your part to help. This means you must actively seek a new job, not sit back and wait for it to fall into your lap. Spellwork-Light the altar candles and the incense. Anoint the black candle from the end to the wick, the others from the wick to the end. Place the black candle on the left, the green in the center, and the gold on the right. Put the carnelian between the black and green candles, and the lapis lazuli between the green and gold candles. Light the candles in the same order as you set them out. Say the chant. Sit for several moments, thinking of the type of job you want. Leave the candles to burn out completely. Dispose of the wax afterward. Chant- Doors to new opportunities open before me. No obstacles stand in my way. Only the best of employment comes to me. Good luck draws a new day. "A Little Book of Candle Magic", by D.J. Conway GOOD LUCK FOR NEW SMALL BUSINESS When: during the waxing moon You will need: 2 green candles 1 large coin (50 c piece) piece of green paper teaspoon of alfalfa seeds (removes money worries) peridot stone (encourages money to flow) Burn cinnamon incense for luck, light the candles and place the coin and seeds on the paper as you say: "As the moon doth grow money flows money comes fast not slow" Fold the paper so that everything is enclosed and repeat the charm three times holding the package and concentrating hard.

Fairy Invitation Color of the day: Orange Incense of the day: Almond Don’t forget the fairies of winter. During the darkest days of the year, why not work a little charm and invite the benevolent fairies of winter to stay in your house through the Winter Solstice festivities? They can hide out in the greenery and take refuge in the Yule tree and enjoy the holidays with you. According to tradition, a family who kindly invited the fairy folk out of the cold was rewarded with prosperity in the coming year. Stand at the threshold at sunset—a classic between time—and invite them in. You will notice this spell is worded carefully to avoid fairy mischief. Happy holidays! Gentle fairies of the winter Hear my call, I invite your caring presence To my hall. You are welcome within, So long as you stay Mischief free! You may rest here with us And enjoy the revelry!
