SPIRIT GUIDE CONTACT SPELL [11 Apr 2008|12:21pm] SPIRIT GUIDE CONTACT SPELL To meet your spirit guide: Items needed: Alter Candle Day candle (whichever color for the day you be will doing your spell) (Monday-white Tuesday-red Wednesday-purple Thursday-blue Friday-green Saturday-black Sunday-yellow) Offertory Candles 3 Violet candles 3 White candles Tools: Athame to inscribe candles Props: Crystal ball or clear glass of water Incense: anise, cardamon, and coriander Oil: jasmine, lemon, rose, and sandalwood Bathing Herbs: cinnamon, frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood Timing: Best done during the Mercury hour of the day, although any hour should work. Any moon phase is appropriate. Preparation: Breathe deeply and build a ball of protective light around you. While soaking in your ritual bath, meditate on the whole ritual: the steps you will take and what you wish to say to your spirit guide when you make contact. Ritual: Enter the circle in the Hour of Mercury. Light the incense. With the oil, dress the Altar Candle and the Day Candle while concentrating on the purpose of the ritual. Light your Altar candle and your Day candle and state your intent: "I am here to make contact with my Spirit Guide, and to acknowledge him or her" With your Athame, inscribe Violet Candle #1 with the word "Spirit". Dress it with oil. Light the Violet candle #1, direct your energies into it, and say: "Here do I light the first Lamp of Spirit. May its light reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with that World of Spirit into which we will eventually enter" Take your censer or incense wand and swing in around censing the whole area around the altar, while rhythmically repeating the word "Merge" and building up energy to focus. Replace the censer and pick up Violet candle #2. Inscribe it with the word "Spirit" and dress it with the oil. Put it back on the altar, light it, direct your energy into it, and say: "Here do I light the second Lamp of Spirit. May it's light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with that World of Spirit and help spread the light, illuminating the passageway between our worlds." Again, take the censer or incense wand and cense the entire area around the altar while chanting the word "Merge" Build up your energy to focus. Take violet candle #3, inscribe with the word "Spirit", dress with oil, charge with your energy, light it and say: "Here do I light the third Lamp of Spirit. May its light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May the light from these three lamps blend and grow, dispelling all darkness and lighting the way that my Spirit Guide may come to me and speak with me here today." Inscribe the 3 white candles with the word "Truth" and anoint each candle with oil. Light the 3 white candles in order of 1, 2, 3, and say: "Here do I build Truth. As these candles burn throughout this ritual, their power generates nothing but truth in all that transpires between this world and the next. Through these candles there is truth in all communications that come to me". Again, cense the entire altar area while chanting the word "Merge". Replace the censer and continue chanting. Sit comfortably while chanting, and gaze into the crystal ball, or the clear glass of water. Continue chanting until you feel it is right to let the chant taper off. Continue to quietly look into the crystal ball or glass, not trying to picture anything. Keep your mind blank, so whatever comes will appear will come in it's own free will. Gaze into the center of the crystal, there is no need to try not to blink. Look into the crystal and blink naturally. Try not to notice anything in your eripheral vision, just the center of the crystal. Eventually a face or figure will appear. This may take a long time, or it may appear almost immediately. If it doesn't come at all within approximately 20 minutes, abandon this attempt, extinguish the candles in the order in which they were lit, leave the altar set up, and try this ritual again in three days. You should have results within a month at most. When a figure does appear, ask if he/she is your Spirit Guide. You will hear an answer. You may not hear it out loud, or even see the figures lips move, but you will be aware of the answer. This is how most of your conversation will proceed. You will ask your questions mentally (or out loud) and the answers will be clear inside your mind. Ask if you have more than one spirit guide. If yes, ask them to appear also. You may ask anything you wish to know, but it is suggested to establish a connection first where your Spirit Guide may appear to you at any time, or at specific times, so that you can converse with other spirits through him/her. When you have finished speaking with your Guide, thank him/her, then sit for a moment with your eyes closed, meditating on all that you have learned. Extinguish the candles in reverse order to clear the circle. post comment

YOUR OWN CENSER by RiverOwl [11 Apr 2008|12:25pm] YOUR OWN CENSER by RiverOwl I had this idea and it worked quite well when I tried it for my Ostara Sabbat incense. Instead of paying around ten dollars (plus shipping) for a censer to burn those charcoal blocks and incense upon, you can make a personal censer. Find a small coffee can, and find a piece of screen with larger holes in it, with each hole being about a quarter of an inch square and more heavy-duty than regular window screen (it's a special type of screen with which you can make gerbil cages, etc.; you'll probably have to buy a sheet of it at a hardware store). Cut a piece of the screen in an octagon shape (eight sides), that is about one inch larger, all-around, than the top of the can; cut four of the opposite sides larger and then the other four will be smaller (or you can cut them all evenly if you wish). Fold the four, larger, opposite sides over (the piece of screen will look more like a square then); this will hold the screen in place on top of the can. Make sure you do not fold them too short, or it will not fit on top. I spray-painted it a silver color and allowed it to dry for about a day or so (you can use any color you like; I used that Instant Crome stuff for cars and trucks). You should do this in a ventilated area with newspaper laid first. When finished, you have a perfectly good censer that took all of about five to ten minutes to make and is relatively inexpensive (especially if you already have all of the materials in your garage). post comment

Witches' Wish Bottle [11 Apr 2008|12:26pm] Witches' Wish Bottle • 1 dark blue candle • 1 orange candle • Vanilla incense • 1 glass bottle (preferably orange or blue) with tight fitting cap/cork • 1 piece of paper (large enough to write your wish 3 times, but small enough to fit in the bottle) • 1 blue ink pen • 1 bay leaf • 1 budding dandelion top • 1 pinch each sage and violet • Sufficient water to fill the bottle 3/4 of the way or to cover the paper • 1 small stone corresponding to your wish Place the blue candle on the left and the orange candle to the right with the incense between them on your altar or work surface. Light the three and begin thinking about your wish. As the incense burns, write your wish on the paper three times. Remember to keep your wish as simple and straightforward as possible. When done, hold the stone in your hand and say the following as you visualize what it will be like once your wish has come true: Stone of wishes, pure in hue Help to make my wish come true Position the stone on the edge of your wish paper and roll up the paper tightly with the stone ending up in the centre and give the ends a twist to keep the stone in place. Insert it into the bottle. Add the herbs then slowly add the water so that it fills the bottle 3/4 of the way and/or covers the rolled up wish paper. Cork/cap the bottle and seal it with three drops of blue wax and three drops or orange wax while saying the following: Sealed within this bottle deep Is the dearest wish I seek Power of pen on paper scribe Herb and stone in glass I bide My heart's desire frozen thus In the hands of the Divine I trust Unto me with your kindness great Treasured wish into fruition take Place the bottle in the farthest corner of your freezer. Do not disturb it until after your wish has come true. At that point dispose of the bottle without breaking the seal. Thank the Lord and Lady for their kindness and love. If your wish doesn’t seem to come true within one full turn of the moon, then repeat this spell paying particular attention to how your wish is written and how clear your visualizations are. post comment

Witches' Money Bottle [11 Apr 2008|12:27pm] Witches' Money Bottle • 1 Glass bottle with tight fitting cap or cork • 1 Fishing hook • 1 Pinch cinnamon • 1 Sprig Clover • 2 to 3 Coins Place all the objects into the bottle and cork/cap it. Seal the cork/cap with wax from altar candles. Say the following: Prosperity in bills and coin Rain down on me so we may join Through hook and coin, through herb and glass From North and East, from South and West Money come from high and low For in my pocket you shall grow Bury the bottle near the front door of your home or set the bottle somewhere it can't be disturbed if you can't bury it. post comment

Freyja’s Love Ritual [11 Apr 2008|12:31pm] Freyja’s Love Ritual 2003 Spell-A-Day 2003-10-03 One of the greatest and perhaps the most well-known of all the goddesses of the Norse pantheon is Freyja. Her name can mean “to make love” or “to court,” so she is an important figure for those petitioning for love. Friday is Freyja’s day, and green is her color. Today wear gold jewelry, especially a gold necklace, which evokes the power of Brisingamen, her magical necklace. Since Freyja is a solar goddess, the following ritual should take place during daylight, but before you go outdoors. Start the ritual by burning both a green and a pink candle, and asking Freyja to show you a sign that love will come your way soon. Offer her a cup of mead or beer, or some suitably festive beverage. Meditate on Freyja for a time, then, when you leave the house, keep an eye open for a sign from her. If you see a cat that is the color of one of Freyja’s cats (gray or white), you know that Freyja has heard your prayer. Greet and pet the cat if at all possible. If no cat appears today, try this spell on another Friday. By: Denise Dumars http://www.llewellyn.com/free/spell.php?spellid=1232 post comment
