Spell for Today – 2 Forgotten Rituals to Harness the Power of the Stars

Witches often talk about the benefits of moon magic. They rarely talk about the energies we can harness from the stars. Although they are not as prominent as the moon, their energy can still be woven into countless spells.

The Stars are one of the most powerful elements of the Universe that governs us, our home and the Origin that gives us power. Their mystical light gives us peace and pulls us into deep states of tranquility, which makes it easier for us to invoke the energies that help us perform our craft. Each star is a fragment of the gods who are listening to our rituals.

The power of star magic was discovered by witches hundreds of years ago. The first known star spells can be traced to around the time of the collapse of the Roman Empire. These witches knew the magic of the stars, their movement in the sky and how to create the conditions to take advantage of their influences. They discovered that they could use them to invoke powerful love magic, especially in men.

Ancient cultures built many of their rituals on stellar movements. They were great astrologers and could predict future events with stunning accuracy.

The map of the sky and the trajectories of the stars were considered propitiatory for certain forms of witchcraft. Today, we know much more about stars, their location, constellations and their clustering patterns. Science gives us precise data, but ancient magic also knew what energy each constellation had and how to take advantage of it.

Creating a Wiccan Circle to Make a Wish Upon a Star

The idea of wishing upon a star is something that is traced in many legends and even pop culture references. However, few people are able to do it effectively. They believe that they all they must do is close their eyes and make a wish. You must actually practice a ritual with circle magic to make your wish come true.

Here are the steps that you will take.

Look for a place in a field on an arid plane. There should be no grass or vegetation. Use a stick to draw three circles in the sand.

The first will be the largest and it will engulf the other two. It will be a circle of fire that will burn steadily throughout the ritual. Say the following out loud: “It will be the power of my constancy and my will!”

The second will be a circle of red candles. You must say this as you draw it: “This will be the power of my body, vital, strong, vigorous.”

The third circle will be filled with blue candles: “Quiet for my life, I can communicate and feel proud of myself.”

Take a moment to thank the five elements on this magical night. Lie comfortably in the middle of the circles. Lay down in a couple blue and red cushions that you have brought with you. With your eyes open, start to gaze at the stars. Chase one with your vision. Then another. When you find one that catches your attention more than any other in the open sky, make a wish to it. Recite your wish softly, but remember that you are watching a “collection of stars.” There are more stars waiting to help you. You should thank all of the stars collectively for their help, but remember that you will only get helped by the first you made the request of. The others will merely serve as aides to their sister star.

Have faith that your wish will come true. You will become the best of friends with this star. Take a black and red box that you had prepared with an interior mirror and reflect the light of your star into the box. Ask permission to stay with you for a few days. You will feel its presence, energy, love, complicity, wisdom and help. You will know that it will be with you. As this happens, you feel it with all your heart and see the reflection. Then you must close the box.

The star will be with you, keeping you company for up to seven days. Then you will return to the place where you made friends and set it free again. It will enjoy sharing its power. During those days, you will feel the positive change that its energy brings into your life.

Love Spell Underneath the Star

There is a reason that many people seek romantic evenings on stary nights. Stars have almost aphrodisiac magical properties. This spell, which is done while observing a star, will make a man fall in love with you. It works very well.

Ingredients: a photo of him, his hair, mineral or spring water, a pink candle, a mirror.

First, choose a star in the sky to perform the spell. You have to locate it and remember it to know where it is in the sky. This spell must be performed outdoors.

Take all of the ingredients and place them on the ground. The photo and the hair under the mirror will be face up. Put the candle over the mirror.

You must be seated to see the star reflected in the mirror. The candle must be at the top of the mirror, so you can see it reflected at the bottom. Light the candle and say the following sentence with the intention of bringing the man you love closer:

“For the night sky, for the darkness that does not touch me, I ask you star of my heart to bring this man (say his name) to me. Let him fall in love with me, as the star falls in love with the night, that he cannot flee from me, that he only has eyes for me, so be it”.

Make sure to say this phrase several times, while staring at the star through the mirror. Leave the candle lit until it is finished. When it is about to burn out, drink the water and extinguish it by throwing it on the mirror. After that, leave the mirror outdoors all night. Get up before sunrise. You don’t have to give sunlight to the mirror. Put the mirror on your bed every night if possible. Keep his photo and hair in your underwear. Throw the remains of the candle on the ground.

It is a spell that does not fail. You can repeat as many times as you want but you have to choose the same star for it to improve the effectiveness.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS March 13, you are talented and creative. You are definitely different from most folk. The March 13th star sign is Pisces. You have your own mind and while that is a good thing, you are very considerate when it comes to needs of others.  With all the energy you have, you should want to burn it up in a more positive way.

The birthday personality of those born on this day are Pisceans who respect others and their need to have alone time. You are unique in that you don‘t ask many questions about your friend’s personal lives. You ask that they return this favor with the same understanding. Pisces, you have many friends! Yet, you are not very close or attached to any particular person.

You think your way is best and refuse to do things traditionally. You believe that even when you are wrong, you are right! Listen, Pisces, humans are fallible and that is what you are… human. You could be, ummm, neurotic. If I need a ride, you are the last person I would ask for help, Pisces. Needless to say, needy people turn you off.

The birthday characteristics of a March 13th born, shows you are spur-of-the-moment Pisceans. You are likely to set out for a woodsy weekend affair. You love to hike and see what nature as inspired or we may find you water skiing. Who knows where you will end up next.

Nevertheless, once the moment is gone, you are done with it and are off to the next pleasure-seeking activity. Your financial account balance sees a rise and fall of deposits and withdrawals. You work hard when you are working so you are able to ride out the tough times.

It takes a lot to settle a 13th March birthday Pisces down. Maintaining a balance between your strengths and weaknesses can be a problem when it comes to holding down your interest. If you are not passionate about your work, it becomes boring to you, therefore, you seem unconcerned.

Your birthday meaning predicts that you have goals but have definite ideas as to how they should be achieved. On a positive note, you can succeed at any goal you choose, but only if you want to. This is what identifies you as a Pisces with a March 13 zodiac birthday.

As a young person, Pisces, you were special. You have vivid and happy memories of your childhood years. Your parents brought you up as a believer in one faith, but as an adult Pisces, you are unlikely to practice it.

You have the right to change your mind. What you are likely to convey to young adults is that wisdom is the key to personal happiness and success. “Where there is wisdom, you will find sanity,” you tell them.

In most cases, Pisceans have an imaginative personality. You are often surrounded by innovative vocations. Those born on this day are more concerned with a career that implements their aspirations. Your writing talents make you an excellent choice for campaign manager or strategic planner.

With all that energy you have, the 13 March birthday horoscope predicts that you have little or no interest in working out to keep fit. You think that an active lifestyle alone with be beneficial. I‘m not saying this is wrong but a nice evening stroll would be enjoyable as well as advantageous.

Pisceans born on this day love sports and what it encompasses – loud noises, greasy foods, and alcohol. You cannot eat this way and expect it not to catch up with you over a period of time. You do not have to stick to a diet but watch what you eat, please.

If you are born on March 13, you are at risk of suffering from mental disorders or psychological illnesses. Please know that you need to balance some areas of your life. Your health is very important and you should not take good health for granted.

If today 13 March is your birthday, then you should be slow to drink or to take drugs. It can have adverse affects on you especially if you are a woman. Primary focus should be to guard against the stomach area. You are subject to have liver problems and ulcers.

At the end of the day, Pisces birthday astrology for March 13 also forecasts that you might be unreliable. You are hard to hold down as your spirits run free and high. You like living in the now and will not hesitate to take a long drive to anywhere the waves take you.

You enjoyed your childhood and still today, you find it hard to give up the junk foods. As an adult, you need to take care of your liver. Overall, Pisces, you have a lot going on mentally and need to take active measures to ensure your health.
