Jar of Stones Spell

Jar of Stones Spell

 

A magic spell of protection and power for the home. This simple spell provides both protection and energy for your home. It is a spell that constantly grows in strength and can actually be done daily.

You will need:

A glass jar
A small amount of clean sand
A beeswax candle

Find a glass jar that you would like to use for your spell (a quart canning jar is a good choice). Wash the jar thoroughly inside and out with warm water and soap. Dry the jar completely. Light your beeswax candle and drop a few drops of molten wax onto the interior bottom of the jar. Next, place about one inch of sand in the jar.

Place the jar near an entrance door to your home. Every time you find a small stone, drop it in the jar. Any type of stone will do, so feel free to be creative with the stones used. You do not have to put a stone in daily, they can be added as frequently as you wish. It is important though that you put them in one at a time and the spell works best if you put no more than one stone in per day.

As you add each stone, speak the following words aloud:

Snare the evils, bring them woe,
Where they wish, don’t let them go,
Evil from this place be banned,
By this wish, by this command!

Once the bottle has been filled, put the lid on and leave it by the door. You can make as many of these as you like and place them by every door. Touch the jar and repeat your chant at least once a week to reinforce the power of the spell. This spell will help defend your home and family from the negative energy that uninvited visitors and negative thoughts can produce. It also introduces power and energy into the home and revitalizes a family’s strength.

River Spell

River Spell

A cleansing spell – This powerful spell is used to wash away bad memories and cleanse the mind of sorrow and pain.

You will need:

A beeswax candle
Two bowls
Water from a flowing river or stream
A small stone from the river or stream
A piece of white cloth (a handkerchief will do)

Fill the bowls half-full with the river or stream water.

Light the candle and place the bowls on either side of it. Holding the stone in your left hand, bring to mind those memories you wish to be diminished and finally swept away. Still using your left hand, pass the stone through the candle’s flame and speak aloud the following words:

Memories I wish to leave,
River, wash them clean,
In your power I believe,
Power I have seen.

Place the stone in the bowl to your left and rub the stone, as if cleansing it, using only your left hand. Remove the stone and speak the following words aloud:

Memories, like darkness fade,
In the morning’s sun,
And leave but shadows in the shade,
Where the river runs.

Move the stone to your right hand and place it in the bowl of water to your right, allowing it to rest at the bottom of the bowl. With your right hand, gently swirl the water in the bowl. When the water stops moving, extinguish the candle, remove the stone from the bowl using your right hand, place it on the white cloth and allow it to dry in the air. Once thoroughly dry, the stone should be placed under your pillow while you sleep. Keep the stone under your pillow until the memories have sufficiently faded.

Three Red Leaves Protection Spell

Three Red Leaves Protection Spell

 

Begin by gathering 3 red leaves from any plant, bush or tree. Lay the leaves on a flat surface to form a triangle. In the center of the triangle of leaves, place a lighted candle. On each leaf, place a few drops of chrysanthemum oil.

Speak aloud the following words three times:
Red leaves, gift from earth,
Birth to death and death to birth,
Keep all evil far away,
Day to night and night to day.

When you have spoken the words three times, extinguish the candle and wrap the leaves in a white cloth or place them in a white pouch. Place the packet under your mattress or near your bed within three feet of your head for protection against nightmares and invasions of evil.

A Spell for Protection of Your Home

A Spell for Protection of Your Home

You will need:

Salt & Water
Incense
Milk & Honey
Oil
Wine
Bells, Pots, Pans, Whistles, etc.

Cast a circle in the main room and after casting, visualize the circle expanding to include the entire house. Call upon the spirits and energies living in the house (or apartment). Invite those who will be harmonious with the new household and its energies to remain. Invite/ask those who will be happier elsewhere to depart. Release all “energies” not compatible with the new household.

Note: This may be expressed as a “release” in order to unbind anything that may be stuck.

Then call upon, greet, and invite ancestors, patron deities, and all harmonious spirits and energies to dwell in the house as they please.

Gather up the pots, pans, and all the noise-makers. Go to each door and window, not forgetting the fire-place and dog-door, making as much racket as humanly possible–to drive out the unwanted.

Go again throughout the house and at each portal (door, window, etc.) sprinkle salt-water and incense, saying: “By the Elements I purify and charge this portal.”

Then anoint the portal with milk and honey, saying: “By Milk and Honey I ensure prosperity and peace within this place.”

Finally, anoint the portal with oil, saying: “With Oil I seal this portal and protect all within.”

At the front door a special prayer is said, asking the guardian deities to freely grant entry to all friends and loved ones, and to prevent passage (turn aside) to any who would do harm.”

Then, if it’s a house–pour wine across the width of the threshold; if it’s an apartment anoint the threshold with light touches of wine.

The house-holders then each take a sip of wine, leaving some as an offering to the Gods, and the Circle should be closed. The remaining wine, milk, and honey should be offered to the Gods which can be accomplished by pouring over the ground.

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Dagaz

dagaz: day

 

Phonetic equivalent: d (pronounced as ‘th’, as in ‘this’)

 

DIVINATORY MEANINGS: happiness, success, activity, a fulfilling lifestyle, satisfaction

 

MAGICAL USES: to bring a positive outcome

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES: Sunna, Baldr, Nerthus, Yggdrasil

 

 

ANALYSIS: This rune effectively marks the end of the third aett, leaving only oþila to complete the cycle. As in the previous two aetts, ðagaz concludes the third with light and hope. However, while wunjo represented earthly glories and the sun, heavenly the day brings these two realms together, bringing the more abstract light and power of sowulo ‘down to earth’ and applying it to our everyday lives.

 

The shape of the rune itself denotes this kind of interconnection. It is reminiscent of gebo, with its balance of masculine, feminine and the four elements, but ðagaz makes further connections to the celestial and the realm of nature. Like inguz, it symbolizes harmony with one’s environment. but again takes it a step further, implying a harmonious relationship with the spiritual environment as well. It is a bringing together of all six cardinal points – the four compass directions, the celestial realm above us where the Gods are thought to dwell; and that which is below – all the spirits of the earth and of nature. All of these things are balanced and integrated through ðagaz and brought into our daily lives.

Your Lucky Tarot Cards for May 28th

Your Lucky Tarot Cards for Today

 

The Emperor

The Emperor is gifted with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order, provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t he may well become a tyrant.

When The Hierophant or Justice are among your personal cards, the influence of The Emperor may be increased. Having The Empress in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Emperor.

 

 

The Fool

This card represents the dreamer in you, the idealist, the mystic. The Fool desires to do great things, but is often unaware of just how difficult great things are to do. He must always be very careful of the choices he makes, and remember knowledge is his ally. The Fool often symbolizes a new beginning, unrestrained optimism, and curiosity that hasn’t been dulled by time. While The Fool may well indicate a lack of experience or grasp of the pitfalls along the path he is taking, it is equally true that his lack of experience leads him to believe all things are possible, which brings even impossible goals within his grasp.

When The Hanged Man or The Star are among your personal cards, the influence of The Fool may be increased. Having The Devil in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Fool.

Your Daily Tarot Card for May 28th is The Empress

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Empress



The Empress is “The Earth Mother” of the Tarot. She embodies all that is nurturing, clean and wholesome. Her powers resonate from her drive to create and care for life on a grand scale. She is in tune with Nature’s rhythm and realizes that life’s most pleasurable moments often stem from the simplest things. She is not afraid to enjoy herself–to let loose—to the point of being lavish. Abundance and luxury are important to her. The Empress is completely comfortable with her femininity and her sexuality. She is sensual, earthy, generous, and likes the good life. Still, her driving force is a need to create and nurture, and fulfilling this need overrides everything else.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, May 29th

 

Aries 

You may be taking special interest in a project, idea, or topic today, dear Aries, particularly one that you may have toyed with or begun in the past but for whatever reason left unfinished. It’s a powerful time for researching, learning, sharing, or teaching, and networking can be especially fruitful, stimulating ideas or reinvigorating your motivation levels. This is also a strong time for connecting with a partner. You tend to love pioneering your way through life, and frequently do things independently, but today, the benefits of a friend, partner, or support system becomes obvious.

Taurus

After a rather hazy and possibly lazy early day, dear Taurus, your motivation and dedication builds. It can be a powerful time for discovering information you may have missed in the past, particularly related to finances, and for some, you might find a lost object or discover a resource that you never knew you had. You are especially resourceful now. You might be in an advantageous position at work or otherwise be “in the know”. The key today is to look at things in a new way, and to concentrate on those things that truly matter to you.

Gemini

Your mind is super sharp today and tomorrow, dear Gemini, and these days are powerful for generating significant ideas, strategies, and goals.

Some of you could find a lost object. You might thoroughly enjoy investigation and research today, and resolving a conflict or solving a mystery can be especially satisfying now.

Cancer

You have been especially imaginative in recent days, dear Cancer, but today, you’re especially able to channel this creative energy into something productive. You are particularly insightful about matters of the past, things that are hidden from sight, and areas of your own psyche that may have been holding you back from enjoying yourself. Seeing an old problem in a new way can be liberating on some level today. Others may be supportive or allow you the space to come to your important conclusions.

Leo

This can be a day in which others seek your guidance, advice, or support, dear Leo, and you’re especially happy sharing your ideas and generous with your time.

This can be a good day for looking at past ideas and projects in a new way. You are more resourceful than usual, and could easily gather inspiration from people in your life.

Scorpio

Today and tomorrow are particularly strong days for mental insights, dear Scorpio, and these mostly revolve around your personal life, intimate relationship with yourself, awareness of your fears, addictions, and attachments, and dependencies on others.

This is a strong day for coming together with others, dear Sagittarius, and making agreements. There is a feeling of being on the same page with a significant someone, and wonderful new insights into finances and home life. Through a conversation, you might come to new conclusions about old, nagging problems, and arrive at good, solid strategies for better dealing with your life. It’s a strong time for getting to the very core of a problem, and for seeing things you missed in the past, but that are vital to seeing the complete picture.

While the day can get off to a hazy start, as it advances, you can be feeling especially motivated and energized mentally, dear Capricorn. You are ready to take on almost anything now, and ideas for work or health are especially fertile now.
