To ward off evil

To ward off evil

To ward off evil that has advanced unwarranted, be it the work of others or devils, one must begin with a thorough bathing and cleansing of the body after the midnight, but before the rising of the morning’s sun.

Great care should be taken that this be done lest the spell fail.

At the dawn, having properly cleansed one’s body, and whilst without having dressed, one need stand in the center of a well-lit room and face the south.

Repeat the following invocation, once in each direction, turning from south to west, then north and finally east:

I call to Baëll, king of the evil horde
Leader of the six and sixty legions
Call up thine minions and order them down
That none should set against me this day or next
Bade them instead protect
Protect me from the evil
Protect me from those
Those of the evil will

When you have spoken this invocation in all four directions, going from south to west to north to east, remain facing to the east and repeat the following invocation:

Baëll, principal king of the power of the east
Hear mine words, for I bid thee no visit
Only that this thing be done

Immediately turn to face the south so that the spell might be cast and sealed.

The spell is done.

A Spell to Drive Away Fear

A Spell to Drive Away Fear

An invocation to drive away the Spirits of Fear – a powerful magic spell used to prevent the spirits of fear from bringing suffering into one’s life.

At the rising of the sun, on the twelfth day of the month, a piece of clean, white, fine cloth should be laid flat upon a table. An equal mixture of thyme, rosemary and freshly ground ginger root should be spread over it, evenly distributed, but not too heavy.

The following invocation need be spoken aloud:

Spirit of the Rising Sun
Enter this place
Allow thy face to shine brightly upon this offering
That thy grace may be invoked.

The Spirit of Fear hath taken up residence in mine humble home
And apprehension has settled in not to be easily shaken loose
Spirit of the Rising Sun hear my plea
Let these spirits no more bother me
Banish them to darkness and bid them take leave.

Spirit of the Rising Sun fill the empty corners
That lo, they may not loiter and hide
Sweep the rooms with thine mighty hand
Force them outside.

Spirit of the Rising Sun
I invoke your power
That these things for which I ask
Be done
So it was, so it is, so it shall ever be.

When you have finished the invocation, carefully gather-up the cloth so as to not spill the mixture. Take the cloth full of mixture out of doors and shake it completely clean. The cloth should then be washed clean using soap and hot water.

Magic Spell for Conjuring the Spirits of the Night

Magic Spell for Conjuring the Spirits of the Night

 

A powerful magic spell incantation that is cast to call forth the night spirits and lingering haunts.

Near to the midnight, find a dark and lonesome place for the most solitude. The room should have a window which can be opened, if not fully, at least partially.

Open the window.

One should prepare by sitting cross-legged on the floor, facing the north.

Clear your mind of all thoughts.

At the stroke of midnight, repeat the following invocation:

Spirits of the night, I beseech thee,
Find favor with mine call and summons,
On the seven winds I beg thee travel,
And greet me in mine presence,
For a speaking of things that need bespoke,
From this moment hence,
Thy powers do I wish invoke,
For things that need be done.

Once this invocation has been spoken, close your eyes, clear your mind and welcome the spirits as they enter. There is no way that one may know how many may come, but remember that they should be greeted, one and each, as they enter. They may appear as apparitions, or one may only feel their presence.

When they have finished their arrivals, you may communicate with them using only the voice of your mind.

Protection of an Animal

Protection of an Animal

This magic protection spell is especially good for protecting animals of all sorts, be they wild or domestic.

You will need:

A particle from the animal (a nail clipping, a bit of fur, a hair, a feather)
An oak leaf (from any variety of oak)
An 8″ x 8″ piece of unbleached cotton or wool fabric
A length of natural twine
A small bowl of spring water
A pinch of salt
Vinegar (any kind)

Lay the fabric on a flat surface. Place the particle from the animal in the center of the fabric. Lay the oak leaf on top of the particle.

Sprinkle the salt over the leaf and repeat these words:

Spirit of the Earth, protect this creature and guard it from evil and harm.

Pour a splash of vinegar into the bowl of spring water and stir it in well with your index finger only.

Sprinkle some of the water over the particle, leaf and salt. Wrap the fabric over it all in a neat package and tie it securely with the string.

Dip your fingers into the water and sprinkle a small amount onto the head of the animal you wish to protect.

Bury the wrapped package in a hidden, undisturbed place.

Pour the rest of the water on the ground where you have buried the package.

Protection of a Sleeping Child

Protection of a Sleeping Child

This magic protection spell is especially beneficial for the warding-off of bad dreams and night-terrors.

You will need:

One beeswax candle
Quiet privacy where the child sleeps

Light the beeswax candle and stand at the foot of the child’s bed, facing the head of the bed. Hold the candle with both hands; elbows bent slightly, arms not fully extended.

Repeat the following words:

Let the working of this spell begin.
I call upon the spirits of the sky. Hear me and listen to my plea.
Gather and come close that all may hear.
Watch over this sleeping child, the innocent, this bed and any that may it occupy. Guard against all terrors, real or imagined, that this way come and bring tranquility and peace in their stead.
All that hear, take heed — so be the will — so be the deed.

Extinguish the candle.

Suspend the bag above one of the principal entrances to your residence.

This is a powerful protection for your residence and you will see a real transformation a few days after having performed this ritual.

Leonids and Friends
Image Credit & Copyright: Malcolm Park (North York Astronomical Association)

 

Explanation: Leonid meteors rained down on planet Earth this week, the annual shower of dusty debris from the orbit of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Leonids streak through this composite night skyview from a backyard observatory in southern Ontario. Recorded with camera fixed to a tripod, the individual frames capture the bright meteor activity throughout the night of November 16/17, about a day before the shower’s very modest peak. The frames are registered to the fixed field of view, so the meteor trails are not all aligned to the background star field recorded that evening when Orion stood above the southern horizon. As a result, the trails don’t appear to point back to the shower’s radiant in Leo, situated off the left edge of the star field frame. In fact, some trails could be of Taurid meteors, a shower also active in November, or even sporadic meteors, including a bright fireball with its reflection near the horizon.

Expand your mind with mental Mercury in sunny Sagittarius

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of sagittarius, mercury, astrology

Open your mind, but hold your tongue while communication planet Mercury moves through bold and sometimes reckless Sagittarius on November 20, 2015!

Mercury is a bit of wildcard in Sagittarius. That’s because Mercury is all about thoughts and words, and Sagittarius is all about action. This translates into a time when we may find ourselves speaking too soon, accidentally saying rude things, or spouting off things that aren’t true.

If you’re prone to telling tall tales or getting your facts wrong, or if you know anyone like that, it’s going to be exacerbated now. We’re all advised to try harder to think before we speak and to consider others’ feelings more. But there’s an upside to Mercury in Sagittarius, too.

Because Sagittarius is so open-minded and adventurous, our thoughts will become more expansive, too. We might start thinking about travel or going back to school or starting a new job. Sagittarius is a visionary, so our minds will wander far and wide during this time.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Lotus

 

The Lotus represents the spiritual self in its purest form. It reminds us that for most achieving a well developed spirituality is a journey which can be long and arduous. The spirit of the Lotus is not of our secular world, and the presence of The Lotus suggests that what is needed can be found by exploring your relationship with the Universe not as a physical entity pursuing material gain, but as a divine soul in need of celestial sustenance.
