THE SPELL OF THE SHELL
To perform this spell, you must find a suitable shell in shallow water.
Take the shell and dry it thoroughly. Next, place a symbol of your desire upon the surface of the shell.
The symbol must be made with a substance which will easily wash off in water.
Place the shell upon the shore, so that the Tide will bring waves across the shell.
Take care to note the phase of the Moon (waxing moon for the gain of something, waning for the
dissolving of something). When the shell is in place, draw a triangle in the sand, enclosing the shell completely.
The symbol upon the shell must be facing upwards (toward the Moon).
Meaningful words, or phrases, may be placed upon the shell also, or simply written in the sand (inside the triangle).
Finally, give the words of enchantment: (toward the moon)
Goddess of Moon, Earth, and the Sea,
Each wish in Thy name must come to be.
Powers and Forces which Tides do make,
Now summon Thy waves, my spell to take
Leave the area now, and the spell is set. Once the waves come, then your wish will be taken out to the Old Ones. It
will usually take about 7 days for a Lunar spell to begin to manifest, but can take as long as 28 days.
This type of magic is what we call "little works", and belongs to the folk-magic level of Witchcraft.
