SPELL BOXES
Scott Cunningham and David Harrington
Here are the instructions for making a Spell Box: You will need a box,
preferably of wood and fairly small, with a lid.
On the night of a Full Moon, raise the box's lid. Hold the box up to
the North and say:
By the powers of the Earth
Face East and say:
By the Powers of the Air
Face South and say:
By the Powers of the Fire
Face West and say:
By the Powers of the Water
Return to the North and say:
I empower this Spell Box
You are now a tool of magic.
Assist me in my transformations!
The box is now ready for use in spells of all types. When not in use, wrap
in plain white cotton cloth and store out of sight. It should only be used
in one rite at a time, but can be used for any positive magical change.
As we move further into the modern age, the ability to make physical things
with our own hands and skill is becoming a lost art. Where once every object
on our homes, in our environments, was handmade, we now look around and are
hard pressed to find any object not created by machines.
