(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
A simple, fun and colorful ritual to enjoy
For this ritual one should dress brightly and strikingly, wearing flowers and greenery according to taste. A low altar should be built partially or entirely of stones at the middle of the ritual area.
What you will need:
Two candles should be placed on the altar, and the altar itself arranged as usual. (if the ritual is performed outdoors, the candles may be replaced be torches. These may be stuck in the ground on either side of the altar.)
Four candles or torches are placed before the altar to be lit later. A vertical pole about 3 feet in height is usualy erected on the far side of the altar: it should be decked with fruits, flowers, and bright ribbons. A half full cup of wine should be placed before the image of the Goddess.
Before dressing for the ceremony, take a ritual cleansing bath. When ready to go on with the rite, meditate for a while before going into the ritual area, thinking strongly on the old pagan ways and trying to imagine the rituals wich took place on this night in ages passed.
– Go alone to the ritual place. Kneeling before the altar, light the candles or torches on the altar, and the incense. Set alight the four candles before the altar and place them 3 or 5 feet from the altar at the North, then going deosil, saying:
“Here at this spot Do I create a place Sacred to the Gods of old. For a while, here and now Shall the ancient ways Live again”
– Take the wand and hold it out and salute toward the East, saying:
“Oh winds of the East Blow sweet and pure For the Lady reigns again!”
– Hold the wand out and salute toward the South, saying:
“Oh warmth of the South Bring forth life from the earth For the Lady reigns again!”
– Hold the wand out and salute toward the West, saying:
“Oh waters of the West Glisten clear and fresh For the Lady reigns again!”
– Hold the wand out and salute toward the North, saying:
“Oh lands of the North Grow rich and bounteous For the Lady reigns again!”
– Replace the wand and, holding the arms out over the altar, saying:
“Gracious and lovely Lady of the moon, Of joy and love, Protecteress of forests and wild things, This place is consecrated to Thee.”
-Take up the wine cup, holding it out at arm’s lenght, and pour out a few drops, saying:
” To the Great Ones of old And to the joyous times to come!”
-Drink some of the wine (or if you cannot drink alcohol, use an appropriate substitute).
– After a brief pause, rap three times on the altar with the wand saying:
“As woods and meadows flower forth I celebrate the ancient rite As the Ancients did before me. I cast the words into the mists Of time and space and otherwhere: Where one stays now, in years to come, May scores of others revel there. So may it be!”
– Rap once upon the altar. (More incense should be added now. Ad-lib additions are appropriate at this time…meditations, poetry …and the like.) (If a source of proper music is available, a solitary Dance of the Winds may be improvised.)
– Draw the Fertility talisman on the parchment, suffumigate it thrice, then, recite the supplication written on the back, …bow humbly and say:
“Friends of the nether worlds Now, come and assist us in our humble workings. Follow us to another sacred place of ours, And join your forces with ours, On this Fertilization Day.”
– Bury the talisman into the ground under an oak tree (if available), saying an ad-lib statement on the meaning of the talisman and its correspondances.Go back to the circle.
– When all is done, close by rapping four time with the wand, saying:
“Friends of the nether worlds Who have been about me for a while You may, with thanks, Return from whence you came.”
– Hold out arms and say:
“Blessed Lady of joy and laughter I thank Thee for Thy presence. May some of your love and power Remain with me. Blessed Be!”
– Put out the lights about the altar. As the two on the altar itself are darkened, say:
“This rite is ended…”
Note: Alter this ritual as needed to fit your circumstance. Note that many Beltane celebrations extend roughly one week past the May 1’st date, so any time in early May is appropriate to celebrate, in case you miss celebrating it on the May 1’st date.
Samhain Spell – Protection Candle Spell
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Encircle a red candle with any protection herb and light the wick. Sit and gaze at the fiery power of the light that shall protect you from harm. When you are ready, you may say this, or another verse:
For protection, I now pray,
Let all evil turn away.
Protect me night,
Protect me day,
And keep misfortune well at bay.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON OCTOBER 26, it is likely that you are an emotional individual. You have a tendency to be insecure but you are an intelligent, resilient personality. You have good instincts and are able to “read” people.
However, the October 26 birthday personality is a private person and usually doesn’t discuss business or their feelings with other people. You don’t trust a lot of people and this is a smart practice.
But you surely have friends to whom you can vent your frustrations too. Your friends and family understand that you are not perfect and have your own set of disappointments and your periods of depression or blues.
When faced with obstacles, you have what it takes to come back fighting. It would not be smart to betray someone born on October 26. This Scorpio birthday person has a long memory.
They won’t forget who caused them discomfort and discord. This could be something that you may want to take a look at also. Stress has its way of coming back to haunt you mentally and physically.
The 26th October birthday astrology predicts that you have a tendency to look over your shoulders a lot looking for something to happen. This, also, could be because of the fact you seek revenge on people. Maybe you should find other ways of dealing with your anger and emotions. In a romantic relationship, one may find this 26th October birthday zodiac person to be jealous and controlling.
Be that as it may, you are knowledgeable and are smarter than the average bear. You have the gift of perception and insight so it’s hard for anyone to pull the wool over your eyes. Through this, however, you still find time to help people and have a hard time when you can’t.
Friends are few but that’s your choice. The October 26 birthday people prefer a small circle as opposed to a large group of associations. Your friends say that you are charming but you have the capability of being incredibly manipulative. However, you are not that heartless. You love deeply when you find a loyal and true friend or lover. Having the respect of people is more important to you than self-gratification.
The 26 October birthday horoscope foretells that career choices are many for those born on this day. You are particularly interested in professions that offer some crime or adventure. Forensic science is a growing program that can provide extensive training and hands on experience.
You are always in the know of things anyway so this will only accent your abilities. At the end of the day, having a Scorpio as your fearless leader could be the best idea yet. Besides being intelligent, you are not afraid and you tend to be protective of the people and things you care about.
Since you are willing to study for a new career, you will find yourself doing a lot of research… and liking it! You, as a team player, can go at it alone but you are very comfortable working by yourself and away from the spotlight. When it comes to money, the 26 October birthday personality would prefer to have it in the bank. You will not splurge on things you could live without. Your philosophy lies somewhere along the lines of being cheap. “Let me find out” you still have a flip phone!
The October 26 birthday meanings suggest that you are not the easiest person to understand or to get close to. You are a person who would rather talk about the latest news rather than the latest gossip. This does not appeal to you as you know gossip is mainly made up of lies and half-truths.
On the other hand, if you do find this Scorpio deep in a conversation about who, what, when and where, beware. The scorpion is probably setting a trap or at best, find out things they just have a need to know.
If today October 26 is your birthday, then you are concerned about your health. You stick to your eating schedules and meal planners. You prefer things like tennis, cycling, yoga, and meditation to physical exercise that requires sweat and pain. Looking good is important to you and your image but it should not hurt or so you say, Scorpio.
Generally, as someone born on October 26, you are a restless individual but you are motivated by success. You analyze almost everybody you come in contact with. This Scorpio is very capable of being passionate and mysterious at the same time.
You know your worth but don‘t find it necessary to flaunt it. Use that leverage when you need to let it all go. As a drawback or negative influence, you may suffer from paranoia.

All Signs…
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You are fortunate. This is a productive week for everyone, but you have the added advantage of having tremendous drive and energy to accomplish whatever you want to do. For starters, you’re interested in improving yourself. You want to be the best that you can be. (This is because you’re in touch with your deeper consciousness right now, which sounds heady, but it’s true.) Because of this, you want to experience life at a deeper, gut-level feeling. You’re concerned with finances, and the resources of others, and dealing with shared property and debt. This is an excellent week to negotiate a loan. Meanwhile, people you haven’t seen for a while who are far away, or from another culture, might enter your world.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is not the time to go it alone. Form working units with others this week. Don’t hesitate to consult experts. This is a good time to examine your closest relationships. For your own benefit, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you. Don’t take on too much this week because you need more rest and more sleep. With Mars opposite your sign, you might encounter enemies or aggression from loved ones. (Whaaat?) Compromise might be necessary but it will be difficult. Discussions about shared property, especially old problems from the past, might come up again. When I was a kid, if we had to divide a special dessert, my dad said the person who made the cut – would get the second choice. (He was a Taurus.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This week both the Sun and Mars are in your House of Employment helping you to accomplish as much as possible whether you have a “job job” or not. This is why your focus will be on efficiency, effectiveness, and making every action count. You want to discover the best way of doing something. You also want to be healthy, as well as productive. Be careful about being too bossy directing the efforts of others. (Many are probably not as gung-ho as you are.) Venus, in the most playful part of your chart, will encourage entertaining and amusing diversions, plus romance, the arts and socializing with others. But, issues with ex-partners are also back on your plate. Oh well.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Right now, your primary drive is to do what you want, and feel free to express yourself. That’s because the Sun is sitting in the part of your chart that rules recreation, amusing past times, romance, the entertainment world, sports and pleasant activities with kids. This is why you feel more lighthearted and up for some fun! You’re also keen to redecorate and invite people over. The only snag in this perfect picture is that Mercury retrograde will happen in the part of your chart that affects your job, your health and your dealings with your pet. Your efficiency will suffer! (You can handle this.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Home, family and your private life continue to be your primary focus right now. You’re happy to hunker down at home and enjoy familiar surroundings. Interactions with family are important and cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, you’ll welcome time to contemplate and enjoy your own solitude. Actually, there’s increased activity and something unusual going on, which requires your attention. Fortunately, Venus in your House of Communications, sweetens your words and makes you charming and tactful. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will resurrect old flames and romantic partners from your past – in person – or in your dreams.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your fast-pace continues! (Is there no justice?) Accept this accelerated tempo in your daily world and enjoy short trips, visits, errands and appointments. You have a lot of energy right now to learn and teach. You’ll be fascinated by new information and eager to share your knowledge with others. This is a strong time for writers, and people in sales, marketing, teaching and acting. You might spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones; in part because money seems to come to you right now. (Ka-ching!) Prepare for relatives you haven’t seen for a while to drop by or stay for a visit. Stock the fridge.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
“Show me the money!” This week, you continue to focus on cash flow, earnings and possessions; however, at a deeper level, you will examine your relationship to the things that you own. And, at an even deeper level, you might ponder your value system as a whole. For example, what really matters for you in life? This is one of the best times all year to ponder this question. When you know what matters for you, you can make decisions in the future much easier. (You won’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.) You’re also motivated to work hard now to earn money. And as I mentioned last week, this continues to be a wonderful time to buy wardrobe goodies for yourself. Bonus!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Once a year, the Sun is in your sign for four weeks. It entered Scorpio last Wednesday on the 22nd and will stay there until Friday, Nov. 21st giving you a marvellous window to re-energize yourself because the Sun is the source of all energy in the horoscope. This is why you will project yourself more forcefully, and make a dazzling impression on everyone. However, you might come on too strong, which is why working with others could be challenging. The bottom line is you feel a great need to express yourself, and it’s a valid need. What increases this powerful energy even more — is the fact that Mars is in your sign as well. Sheesh! This means you’re turbocharged – PowerPoint on steroids!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is the last week before Mercury starts to slow down before going retrograde in your sign on Nov. 9. (It stays that way until Nov. 29.) However, because of its slowing down at the beginning, and lateness in catching up at the end, you’ll feel its effects from Nov.1 to Dec.17. (Yikes!) That means this week is your last chance to buy expensive Mercury-related items like cell phones, computers, cars and trucks. Or else – wait until after Dec.17. Forewarned is forearmed! Meanwhile, fair Venus in your House of Friendships promotes warm relations and success dealing with friends and group activities. Any group setting like a business conference will be favoured. A friend might become a lover.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Continue to enjoy your increased popularity with friends, and your interactions with groups. You like to be involved in community projects, charities and committees because this allows you to socialize, while at the same time, being useful. This is a particularly good time to formulate your goals and start to actively pursue them. Find a good balance between your own self-interests and the interests of others, and coordinate these needs to make a win-win partnership. Physical activity, especially athletics and competitive sports, will appeal to you now. You continue to make a great impression on authority figures, bosses and parents because Venus is at the top of your chart making you appear attractive.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
As I mentioned last week, this continues to be a time when you make a marvellous impression on everyone because the Sun is at the top of your chart, symbolically casting you in a flattering spotlight. Don’t shy away from increased responsibilities. You will meet the requirements of others with little effort. They’ll be impressed – and you’ll be surprised. (It’s smoke and mirrors.) Since you have this advantage – use it! Don’t hesitate to ask for favours and help as well as promotions and raises. Look for opportunities to travel for pleasure because this is possible. Romance with someone “different” might also bring some excitement into your world.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
If your work involves dealing with other countries and different cultures, you will make great strides this week. You will also succeed if you’re dealing with medical or legal matters, as well as anything to do with publishing, the media and higher education because these are the areas that will offer you the most promise for success, expansion and good press. Grab every chance to travel that comes your way. If you can’t travel, then make travel plans for the future – especially for fun vacations or research for artistic projects. Romance is affectionate. (In fact, passion might possibly be a vehicle for self-transformation.) Meanwhile, this an excellent time to ask for a loan or a mortgage because you can attract money and gifts to you. Sweet!
