Releasing Negativity Spell
Color of the day: Gray
Incense of the day: Cinnamon
In the course of life, anger can come between family and friends.
Sometimes these hurts can be corrected by an apology. But sometimes we
have lost contact with the other person and have no direct way to try to
mend the issues. Even if apologies are made, it can be difficult to get
past the ill feelings. Cast a circle of blue light, call in your
guardians, and light lavender incense. Use a quill or athame to inscribe
the word “forgiveness�?on a blue candle three times, then dress the
candle with honeysuckle oil and light it. Hold a chalice of water
between your hands, and pour out all your negative feelings into the
water. Let the water absorb the painful, hurtful thoughts and feelings.
Say the word “forgiveness�?nine times out loud, and meditate on
forgiveness. Dismiss the guardians and the circle. Pour the water down
the drain. Allow the candle to burn down naturally.

The Real Truth
Color of the day: Yellow
Incense of the day: Honeysuckle
The truth of a situation can get a tad . . . obfuscated, sometimes. Your
date might not have had a family emergency, your co-worker might
actually have received your email, and your landlord knew perfectly well
you were planning on moving at the end of your lease. It’s often your
word or instinct against someone else’s. In order to get around these
periods of fuzzy information, try this spell for the truth to come to
light. Gather a white candle, a pen, and some paper. Write the name of
the dissimulating person on the paper. Surround this drawing with
several little Suns or Sun glyphs. After nightfall, stand before a
mirror and light the white candle. Hold the paper to the mirror while
chanting:
In the darkness,
There is light,
All things hidden
In the night,
Come, and be revealed.
Secrets are unsealed.
I will know the truth.
I will have the proof.

Recharging
Color of the day: Brown
Incense of the day: Pine
Recharge your energies today with some play time. If you’re lucky and
it’s raining, take a walk in the rain and remember what it was like to
be a kid splashing in the puddles. If it isn’t raining where you are—it
is August, after all—play in the sprinklers. Risk looking silly and
goofy. You’ll feel much better afterward.

Rushes Ritual
Color of the day: Coral
Incense of the day: Mint
In Britain, during July and August, the very first harvest was the
harvest of rushes, which were gathered and used to carpet the floors of
houses and churches. A procession known as a “rush-bearing�?took place
to the accompaniment of pipes, drums, and bells. Groups of young women
carried bundles of rushes decorated with ribbons and flowers, or
sometimes woven into the shape of triangles or spirals. Gather rushes
from the water’s edge to carpet your sacred space, and place
rush-weavings on your altar to honor and connect with the spirits of
Earth and water in the waxing powers of the summer season:
Offerings from
The flowery Earth,
Gifts from the watery places
Where my footsteps
Tread the path of old,
These fragrant rushes
Strewn about
From where the Earth
And waters meet.
Their powers grow,
And thus grow mine.

Remembrance Ritual
Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Apricot
Today marks the seventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the
United States, leaving more than three thousand people dead and
thousands more forever changed. While the attacks struck terror into our
hearts, it also brought us together as a country and a world as
thousands poured time, efforts, and healing thoughts into New York,
Pennsylvania, and Washington. Today should be a day of remembrance for
the tragedies, heroics, and miracles of 9/11. On your altar or other
safe place, light a pair of white candles. Then sit quietly, watching
them burn, as you contemplate the positive changes brought about by such
great tragedy. Visualize and focus on the world becoming a better place
of tolerance for one another.

Ritual Writing
Color of the day: Purple
Incense of the day: Carnation
The Autumn Equinox is a few days away. It’s time to be thinking about
putting together a ritual of celebration for Mabon. The first part of
creating a ritual is to write a statement of purpose. This is to voice
the intention of your rite and perhaps what you hope to accomplish. It
can be a dedication of sorts, or it can be an introduction that is as
simple as a general welcome. You may choose to use astrological
correspondences or simply describe the energy that is present at this
time. Here is an example of what you might say as a possible statement
of purpose for Mabon:
The wheel turns once again. It is Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, and we
stand in reflection of our fruitfulness this past year. What do we have
to be grateful for? As the Earth moves into perfect balance with the Sun
and the dark shadows light, we ask our Lord who prepares to leave the
yellowing wood and spiral into the caves of Samhain, and our Lady who’s
love is timeless, tho�?she prepares for the sleep of winter, to let us
embrace this night with our understanding of beauty, grace, and love.
Allow these qualities of Libra’s equilibrium to infuse each one of us so
that we may find our way as we move quietly inward, toward the twilight
of Autumn’s song.

Runic Spell for Wisdom
August 17th, 2008
Color of the day: Amber
Incense of the day: Almond
August 17 marks the day Odin, the Norse god of war and magic, hung
himself from the World Tree in his search for wisdom. After nine days
without food or drink, he peered “down to the deepest depths,�?the Well
of Possibility, and discovered the runes. The runes served as an ancient
alphabet for Odin’s people to use in their spell work and as a
divination tool. For this spell, use “Sowelu,�?(S) the rune for
wholeness. This rune symbolizes self-realization. Carve this rune on an
orange candle. Light the candle, close your eyes, and visualize a deep
well, the Well of Possibility. Try to keep your mind focused on the
well. What messages occur to you? You may wish to throw the runes for
clarification.

A Rain Spell
Color of the day: Orange
Incense of the day: Juniper
St. Medard’s feast day is celebrated today. It was said that the saint
could walk though the heaviest rainstorm without getting wet. June 8 is
traditionally a weather marker for most of western Europe:
If on the eighth of June it rain,
That foretells a wet harvest, men sayen.
To cast a spell using the energies of rain, write your desire on a piece
of rice paper. The next rainy day, hold the paper in your left hand.
Visualize what your life will feel like once your desire is realized.
“Feel�?is the operative word; the more you can feel how your life will
change, the better this spell will work. Take your paper out into the
rain. Experience the rain as the blessings of the element of water. Hold
the paper in your outstretched hand and watch the rain consume your
wish. Leave the spell paper in a place where the rain can dissolve it
into the earth. Your wish will come true.

Ritual Cleansing Bath
Color of the day: Gray
Incense of the day: Rosemary
A good ritual bath can be an excellent lead-in to ritual or
meditation. It is a good way to start getting yourself mentally,
physically, and emotionally prepared to enter your sacred space and
undertake the work at hand. This particular bath salt recipe is for
cleansing and clearing. You will need a decent-sized ceramic or stone
mortar and pestle to prepare this recipe. Combine 3 parts Epsom salts
with 2 parts baking soda and 1 part sea salt. Grind these thoroughly in
the mortar. When they are ground to a coarse powder, add one teaspoon
sage essential oil and one teaspoon lavender essential oil. Mix
thoroughly. Store in a tightly sealed jar until needed. Use these salts
for a ritual bath prior to a public or private ritual to clear away any
negative energies and tune in your mind and body to the work ahead.

Rama Navami
Color of the day: Lavender
Incense of the day: Clary sage
Today is Rama Navami, the Hindu celebration of the god Rama, who
embodies cherished characteristics like courage, kindness, sense of
justice and duty, patience, and compassion. This is a good day to
consider how much you practice what you preach. Across the top of a
yellow sheet of paper turned sideways, make a column for each of the top
nine personal characteristics you feel are truly important. In each
column, note how you embody this characteristic and specific ways that
you can better integrate it. Light sandalwood incense, thank the god
Rama for setting such a powerful example, and call upon your deities for
their blessings. Imagine how you would look and feel if you truly
embodied all nine characteristics. Imagine your life as that person and
vow to take the steps necessary to create that. Light a candle to
yourself. Begin your journey of becoming that very day.

Spell for Refugees
Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Lily
Today is the second day of Passover. Jews all over the world will have a
Seder, a feast celebrating liberation, and will pray that all peoples
will soon be free. At the same time, people in many parts of the world
live in refugee camps. Their freedom to live safely in their homelands
has been cut off. Put together a package of needed goods—clothes,
medical supplies, bandages, sanitary products—and send it to a reputable
charity. (If you’re not sure what to send, ask the charity.) Before
sending, imbue the package with freedom and safety. Visualizing a good
life in a safe home, touch the package with each of the four elements,
saying, “By [air, fire, water, earth] I fill this package with safety
and freedom.�?Use markers to draw a happy family in a happy home on a
discreet spot on the package.

Remembering Our Ancestors
Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Lily
Fix an altar with pictures of your most beloved friends and family
who have passed away. Light three white candles (one for past, one for
present, one for future). Place them in front of the pictures. Study the
flames and remember all the love you felt from those who came before
you. Say:
My family and my friends who have guided me, I bring you blessings
and thanks on this day. Know that in my heart you will never be
forgotten. In everyday moments, I feel you close to me, and I am blessed
for having had you touch my life.
Now study the pictures one by one, giving each a special thanks. You
can at this point place favorite items of your ancestors on the table,
such as food or flowers. Blow out the candles, but let the pictures
remain for twenty-four hours. Smile each time you pass it.

Remember Me Spell Color of the day: Turquoise Incense of the day: Nutmeg If you are planning a move or a vacation and want to be remembered by those you leave behind, here is a great spell inspired by the north. Before you leave, find a quiet spot near the house. Using several flat stones, construct an Inukshuk—a human form made from rocks in Inuit tradition. (Don’t be afraid to use glue if you’re concerned about it toppling.) Walking in front of it, touch your third eye and then touch the headlike part of the statue. Chant: Ever watching am I. Ever in your hearts, am I. Till my return, stone Inukshuk, Stand strong like my love. A smaller version of this statue can be constructed for inside an apartment or given as a gift to a child who will miss you. It can even be given as a going-away present. By: Nancy Bennett |

Spell to Rid yourself of Psychic Attacks
Spell to Ward off Psychic Vampires USE CARE WHEN DOING THIS This is a fairly straight forward spell to rid yourself of psychic vampires (you'll know if you've got one, trust me!)
You will need on your altar : - 2 white candles
- Sea salt in warm water in a cauldron or bowl
- Incense (frankincense or myrrh are good)
- Your favorite oil.
Place the candles at the back of the altar, one on the right to represent the God, one on the left for the Goddess. Place the salt water in the centre, and the incense at the front. Anoint each item with the oil and say :
I ward off negativity in my home, work and everyday life.
No evil or negativity shall enter here.
Picture a white light around you and as it increases to full intensity, picture it surrounding your home and work place Now say :
Psychic vampires in the night
Psychic vampires who destroy my life
Destroy no more of what i achieve
Destroy no more of what i receive
Negativity is not welcome
Evil is not welcome
In me, around me or the people I love.
Repeat this 3 times, then allow the incense and candles to burn themselves out. |

Spell for Religious Tolerance Color of the day: Lavender Incense of the day: Narcissus Queen Elizabeth I gained the throne on this day in 1558. As power shifted from the Catholic Mary to the Protestant Elizabeth, a new wave of religious persecution began. Sound familiar? Begin your spell by lighting one white and two blue candles. These candles symbolize the three monotheistic religions, the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish faiths. Include on your altar pictures of religious and political leaders you feel need more tolerance. Hold each picture, one at a time, and visualize that person at peace. Visualize that person tolerant of other peoples�?beliefs. The Buddha said: All we experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind. Speak or act with a peaceful mind and happiness follows like a shadow that never leaves. By: Lily Gardner |
