Protection from a Negative Person [24 Jan 2008|04:16pm] [ mood | energetic ] Protection from a Negative Person To protect yourself from a negative person, get a small picture of the person. Take an egg, and punch a hole in it. Remove the insides of the egg, and put them in a cup, being careful not to break the shell. Take the empty shell and put 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the hole, and shake the egg. Roll up the picture of the person aggrivating you, and put it into the shell. Place the shell in a clay pot, and put small pieces of mirror in the pot around the eggshell. Cover the pot, and put it in a safe place where no one will disturb it. Eat the egg you extracted from the shell. Use no oil or butter to cook it, but you can add a pinch of salt. As you eat the egg, say: "This spell I cast responsibly. Your harmful thoughts will mirrored be, and fall on you, not on me." -- Painteowl Llewellyn's 2005 Spell-A-Day Almanac post comment

Psychic Vampires [24 Jan 2008|04:17pm] [ mood | content ] Psychic Vampires Psychic Vampires We all hate those evil beings who steal our good work, our dreams, and lovers, this spell is also good to erase old memories that tend to haunt us through out our life. What you will need: Two white candles representing the God (right side of altar) and a Goddess (left side of altar) Your favorite smelling incense. I like to use frankincense and myrrh because it's known to ward off any negativity. SEA SALT!! This is very extremely important and you can buy it almost anywhere sea salt protects a person from any and all harm. Your favorite type of oil, for example people like the smell of rose or some people like to use their zodiac oil if you want you can use olive oil What you need to do: Your altar should have on the upper right hand a white candle representing the god and at the upper left side a white candle to represent the Goddess. In the middle there should be sea salt in a cup or cauldron with boiling warm water the incense should be at the very bottom facing towards you. Take your oil and anoint each item on you altar. With the candles you want to start in the middle and rub up, and to go down start in the middle and rub down while anointing say these words: "I ward off any and all negativity, in my home, work, school, and in my everyday life, No evil or negativity shall enter here." After you've anointed every item picture a white light around you when you feel like the white light is over powering picture the white light hovering over your home, work, school, when you feel ready say these words..... "Psychic vampires who lurk in the night, psychic vampire who try to destroy my life, destroy no more of what I have achieved, destroy no more of what I have received, negativity is not welcome evil as well is not welcome in me, around me, or around people I love." Say this out loud or to yourself but say it enough times so you feel it has worked. When you are done picture the white light around you and your home work school etc... and let the white candles and incense burn until it goes out by itself. post comment

Psychic Shielding [24 Jan 2008|04:19pm] [ mood | contemplative ] Psychic Shielding White Light Shielding Technique Psychic shielding is very important. Sometimes we “pick up” energy from other people, without knowing we are doing so. Their moods or emotions may “bleed over” onto us, leaving us feeling angry, sad, tired, depressed, or whatever they are feeling -and not knowing where this emotion came from. Also, sometimes people will deliberately send negative energy to us -even though that is a very bad thing which one should never do. Such negative energies cannot harm you, as long as you don’t let them in -but in daily life this is an unconscious process. To one skilled in magic and psychism however, this process under ones direct conscious control. With psychic shielding we set the boundaries which keep out unwanted energy from others, but simultaneously strengthen our own Aura, or energy, keeping it healthy. This exercise should be done daily, either when you go to bed or when get up, or as part of your daily psychic exercises. Put yourself into a comfortable position and begin by releasing all tension and anxiety. Visualize a ball of white light floating above you. Focus on the energy of the ball -know that it is full of love and strength and peace. Try hard to FEEL these qualities in the energy of the ball. Now let the energy from the ball of light begin to flow down into you. The energy is a beautiful, clear white light. No matter how much light comes into you, the ball will remain equally strong for its true origin is the Goddess and it is a source of boundless spiritual energy. Let the energy from the ball pour into you and flow throughout your body. Let it move out into your arms and legs, down into your fingers and toes. Now let that light expand beyond your body. At first see the light expand just an inch out from your body. Now let it expand a little more -two inches, four inches... Let the light expand to form an oval around your whole body --an oval filled with clear, beautiful, loving white light from Goddess. Now let that oval of white light expand to form a perfect circle of energy around you, expanding until it is about six feet across. Now, in your mind affirm this: “There is one power in the Universe, and I am a perfect manifestation of that power. As such I will that the boundaries of my aura shall be strong and healthy, repelling all unwanted energy while remaining open to positive and healing energy. Safe within these boundaries nothing can harm me, for I am filled with the strength of the Goddess. By my will, so mote it be -and it is so.” Now let the visual image of the light dissipate, but know that its protection and strength remain with you. Now clear and release all excess energy. post comment

Protective Shield [24 Jan 2008|04:42pm] [ mood | complacent ] Protective Shield Imagine a silver shield, wall, or bubble around yourself or those you wish to protect. Think of it as an impenetrable, invisible, but flexible substance that surrounds you and that keeps out anything that is unwanted. Speak these words as you visualize the protective barrier growing: "Shield hold true, no harm pass through." You can invoke this shiled any time, any place, whenever you feel the need.

WITCH'S PROTECTION BOTTLE [24 Jan 2008|05:10pm] [ mood | chipper ] WITCH'S PROTECTION BOTTLE Get a glass jar such as a Mason jar, or even a baby food jar, anything that has a lid to it. Fill the jar halfway with small sharp objects such as pins, metal scrapings, broken glass, razor blades, etc. Be careful when you are filling the jar! Once the jar is half full with these objects, fill the jar up with a holy water mixture of salt and water. Put the top on the jar and be sure it's secured. This jar should be buried in the ground at least twelve inches deep. As long as the bottle remains in the ground, you will be protected from harm that is sent your way. If you bury the jar somewhere away from home, and you wont know if it will still be there in a year (City Witches dont always have backyards!), then be sure to repeat this process each year. post comment

A Charm to Deflect Negativity. [24 Jan 2008|06:08pm] [ mood | calm ] A Charm to Deflect Negativity. Sometimes those around us carry negative energies which they seem to disperse as they go. It could be that things are not well in their world and, where possible, we can try and help them in this. Others simply throw off the negatives in their lives, seemingly scattering them, so that anyone with even a slight psychic talent unwittingly pickes them up. Whatever the cause of the negativities, it is beneficial to be able to protect ourselves. One of the best gemstones for this is Smoky Quartz as it absorbs negative energy. In its natural state this stone appears as a light gray form of Quartz Crystal. Very dark gray-black stones have almost always been treated to enhance their colour. Smoky Quartz is often put into silver jewellery, making a very simple and unobstrusive way of protecting yourself. Alternatively, you can put a Smoky Quartz Crystal into a small charm bag, which can be worn on a cord around your neck or carried in your purse of pocket. At the time of the waning Moon, take some white fabric and make yourself a small charm bag, and place within it a small Smoky Quartz crystal point, a small mirror, some dried Caraway seeds and Rosemary leaves. Wear or carry this whenever you feel you might come into contact with anyone who generates a level of negativity. post comment

Ancestor Day Ceremony [24 Jan 2008|08:00pm] [ mood | dorky ] Color of the day: Topaz Incense of the day: Maple When one thinks of honoring the ancestors, Samhain and the Days of the Dead are what most often come to mind. However, the veil is also thin at this time—at the opposite spoke of the wheel of the year. That is, many places celebrate Memorial Day at the end of May. And in fact, this is a perfect time to create an Ancestor Day. Further, as Wednesday is good for psychic connection, today is a perfect day for an Ancestor Day ceremony. Cover a table with a purple cloth. Arrange several purple and white candles. Burn a combination of mugwort and sandalwood. Arrange on your altar pictures of your ancestors or items that were handed down to you over the years. Make offerings of favorite food and drink. Meditate at the altar. Communicate with your ancestors. Engage them in conversation. Thank them for the assistance they have given you over the years. And ask them if there is anything that you can do for them. Think of today as a spiritual family reunion. Let the good memories take precedence, and find ways of mutual forgiveness for situations that were hurtful. Cele-brate your positive connections to your roots. Use the foundation of family as a starting point for positive changes you wish to make in your life. By: Cerridwen Iris Shea post comment

Otherwise, prepare ice chips from the freezer. As you gather your snow or ice, visualize the thing that is frozen. Set up your altar with a cauldron or other fire-safe container over a flame. The snow or ice is in the cauldron. The flame is not yet lit. Have a fire extinguisher handy. Ground and center. Make a statement of intent; something like, “This is the coldness between ______ and me. This coldness melts away.” Light the fire. Tone or chant, “Warming! Heating! Melting!” or similar words. When the snow is melted, send a final wave of power into the cauldron. Say, “So mote it be!” Allow the water to evaporate. By: Deborah Lipp post comment

Apple and Aster Love Spell [24 Jan 2008|08:10pm] [ mood | bouncy ] Apple and Aster Love Spell Color of the day: Coral Incense of the day: Nutmeg Two of September’s loveliest symbols, the apple and aster, are quite magical; as such, they’re key ingredients in this love spell. Combined with rose petals, they make a potent love charm. Remember not to think of anyone specific as you perform this spell. Select a red apple, and place it beneath the increasing Moon near a window in a quiet room. After three days, rub the apple with a red cloth. Think of your wish, and eat this apple, saving the seeds. Combine the seeds with love herbs, such as aster and rose, saying: “Spirits red, spirits white, let this spell grow.” Tie all in a crimson cloth, and place the sachet in a special place. Soon you should feel love’s embrace. By: James Kambos post comment

Flower Love Magic [24 Jan 2008|10:30pm] [ mood | content ] Flower Love Magic Color of the day: Pink Incense of the day: Carnation Daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, and many other spring-blooming flowers are announcing the arrival of spring in my garden. Many of these flowers have been used by magicians for centuries to enhance love and fertility spells. Blooming crocus attracts love; a pot of crocus grown indoors increases loving vibrations. During love spells, place a bouquet of daffodils on the altar; a vase of daffodils in the bedroom also increases fertility. Use the dried flowers of hyacinth in love sachets to draw love to you. Tulips, with their rounded cup shape, have a feminine quality and can be placed on the altar during a love spell. And both pansies and violets used in bouquets increase lust and draw love. Plant pansies with other love-attracting herbs to draw a lover to you, and to ensure your lover will always think about you. By: James Kambos post comment

ABSINTHE [24 Jan 2008|10:45pm] [ mood | cheerful ] ABSINTHE An oldie but goodie - withstanding the tests of time, time and again. From: A. Knight's Book of Shadows and her own recipe. What was that magickal drink that Mina was drinking in Bram Stoker's Dracula? It was Absinthe. It has been banned from this country and many others due to the fact that it causes hallucinations. Not to mention that wormwood is a poison. I've made this drink and haven't suffered any hallucinations. But then again, I don't drink much. Also, not much wormwood is put into this drink. It hasn't made me sick, but I can't speak for everybody. If you are concerned about the wormwood, don't add it. Ingredients: 1-pint vodka 2 tsp. crumbled wormwood (dried) 2 tsp. anise seed 1/2 tsp. fennel seed 4 cardamom pods 1 tsp. marjoram 1/2 tsp. ground coriander 2 tsp. chopped angelica root 1 2/3 cups sugar syrup Preparation: Place the vodka in a large jar with a tight fitting lid. Add wormwood and shake well; steep for 48 hours and strain out. Crush seeds and pods in mortar. Add them and all remaining herbs to vodka and steep in a warm place for 1 week. Filter and sweeten. Pour into a bottle and enjoy a piece of history. Suggestion: Pour a half glass of water into a half glass of Absinthe for authenticity. Note: This drink will be very bitter even with the sugar syrup in it. Wormwood is a bitter herb. And unlike the movie, this drink will not be green. It will be brown. post comment
