This charm uses the power of the elements to give yourself added energy to carry on in your quest for a better life. Like four Goddesses, who are sisters, the elements each have their own unique quality that is powerful by itself, but when combined, become even more divinely powerful.
You will need a piece of carnelian and a red candle.
Wash the carnelian in cool water for at least a minute before using it as a charm. Draw a circle of light and call in the elements. Light the red pillar candle, and dedicate it to the four sisters:
Sisters of the earth, wind, fire, and water
Let your light shine bright tonight
With the piece of carnelian in your power hand, move to the north point of the circle, and call out:
Divine sister of earth
Give me strength.
Moving to the east point, call out:
Divine sister of air
Give me hope.
Moving to the south point, call out:
Divine sister of fire
Give me creativity.
Moving to the west point, call out:
Divine sister of water,
Give me love.
Now that the piece of carnelian has been programmed with the power of the four sisters and their corresponding elements, keep it near you as a reminder of your internal strength and determination. When you are done, bid farewell to the elements and pull up the circle. Allow the candle to safely burn down.
Wiccan Spell A Night: Spells, Charms, And Potions For The Whole Year
Take a broad, thin piece of bark. Put it into a bright fire until it catches flame, then quickly set it a little distance from the fire.
When it has stopped burning, carefully stare at the symbols visible in the charred and ash-laden wood.
To cure
Light a fire of oak wood, if possible. When much of the wood has been reduced to glowing pieces of charcoal, pick up one carefully with a pair of tongs or shovel and throw it immediately into a stream or pot of cold water. It will sizzle and pop. As it does, visualize the disease leaving the body of the afflicted person. Repeat this operation three more times.
To communicate with others Write a letter to a distant friend as if you were going to mail it. Next, light a blazingly hot fire and throw the letter into it, firmly visualizing the person’s face. You should receive a reply.
The Sun And Glass Spell
Make a drawing of a problem or negative influence in your life on a piece of paper. On a bright, sunny day, take the paper outside with a magnifying glass. Lay the paper on a heat-proof surface and hold the magnifying glass so that its power is concentrated on the center of the paper.
As the paper begins to burn say:
Through glass the sun’s bright rays of light
put ill and misfortune to flight.
No more shall you harm me or mine.
Begone! I charge you in this sign.
The problem should clear up.
An anti-fire charm
To protect your home from the ravages of a devastating fire, place some mistletoe in a blue drawstring bag, douse it thoroughly with cold, clear water, and then immediately hang it in the “heart” of the house where you and your family spend most of your time.
Or, light a piece of wood and burn to ash. Wet the ashes, let them dry, and hang in a blue drawstring bag. It is done.
Celebrated in Japan, Obon or Bon may be compared with All Hallows’ or All Souls’ Day. It is commonly believed that the spirits of the dead return to earth during Obon, and preparations rations are made to receive and honor them. Family shrines are cleaned, and special meals known as the “Feast of Fortune” are prepared for the spirits. Because lanterns are lighted in the cemeteries and at doorways to welcome ghostly visits, the holiday day is often called the Festival of Lanterns. Obon festivals are often sponsored by Buddhist religious congregations and are celebrated in Japan and in Japanese communities throughout the world.
Sunday corresponds to the sun, our closest star. This day is full of wonder and all sorts of magical potential for success, wealth, and fame. Sundays are for personal achievements of any kind such as working towards a promotion at your job, seeking fame and wealth, or being acknowledged for a job well done. All of these goals fall under the golden influence of the sun. Some suggestions for Sunday enchantments would include:
Sitting outside at sunrise and calling on the goddess Brigid for illumination and inspiration
Wearing gold jewelry or clothing that is gold or sunshine yellow to pull some color magic into your life
Arranging a few sunflowers in a vase and empowering these “flowers of the sun” for fame and ambition
Gathering up the common marigold flower and scattering it’s petals about to encourage prosperity
Baking up a batch of cinnamon rolls for the family and enchanting them for health and success
Snacking on a solar fruit, the orange, and enjoying the magical boost it brings to your life
Aroma: Cedar, Frankincense, Sun Oil, Lemon Herb: St. Johns Wort
Traditionally the first day of the week and ruled by the Sun, it personified as Helios, Apollo, Lugh, and Beli or Bel. In some traditions, the sun is seen as feminine, personified as Phoebe (East Anglia), and Saule (eastern Europe).
The Sun rules the conscious element of the human mind, the ego, the “real” self.” Sunday is the day on which this power is most effective.
Magical aspects: protection, healing, spirituality, and strength.
Sunday is the perfect day for the magic of Fatherhood. A father wishing to cast a spell for his children might want to try a little prayer on a Sunday. However it is probably wiser to cast on a Monday if the idea is to conceive. Sunday is also the day for social and political furtherment, so try going out to see some friends on a Sunday or just mingle.
This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving exorcism, healing, prosperity, individuality, hope, fortune, work, power, promotions, strength, spirituality, swift change, and God rituals.
Sunday (Sun): Healing, spirituality, success, strength, and protection.

Moon phase: Fourth Quarter
Moon Sign: Gemini
Gemini: Things begun now are easily changed by outside influence. Time for shortcuts, communication, games, and fun.
The Latin term for Sunday, our first day of the week, is Dies Solis (“sun’s day”). In ancient Greek, it was called Hemera Heliou. In the Old English language, it was known as Sunnandaeg; in Middle English, Sonenday. All of these titles mean the same thing: the day of the sun.
What do you think of when you feel the sun shine down on you? What sorts of enchantments and energies do you think would be complementary to a day named after our closest star? Sunday brings those bright solar energies into your life and has the magickal correspondences of success, promotion, leadership, pride, light, generosity, warmth, fitness, and personal growth. Astrologically, the sun symbolizes the conscious self and rules the zodiac sign of Leo.
The charms and spells that would complement this magickal day of the sun are ones for personal achievements of any kind-such as if you are seeking fame and wealth, working for that much-deserved promotion at work, or being acknowledged for a job well done. Health issues, increasing personal power, or simply sticking to your diet and being proud of what you have accomplished all fall under the sun’s golden influence.

It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. Sunday is the day of the sun. Community work, volunteer services, exercise, outdoor sports, buying, selling, speculating, meeting people, anything involving groups, running fairs and raffles, growing crops and taking care of all health matters fall under the influence of the Sun. With all this activity and the brightness of the sun, it’s easy to see why the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Michael is the primary angel of Sunday but each hour of this day also has it’s secondary angel. These angels are Michael (first hour), Anael (second hour), Raphael (third hour), Gabril (fourth hour), Cassiel (fifth hour), Sachiel (sixth hour), Samael (seventh hour), Michael (eighth hour), Anael (ninth hour), Raphael (tenth hour), Gabriel (eleventh hour), and Cassiel twelfth hour). Notice some of the angels do double duty this day.
On Sundays, (unless you are invoking a specific angelic energy) the hour of sunrise will be the most powerful time to work, especially if you want to infuse energy into your work. Sunset is the second best time and is favored when you need to calm down a situation. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.
Casting The Stones, Your Past, Present & Future Reading for Today
The Past Ingwaz
Ingwaz signifies completion, success and fertility. Your present ambitions are about to be met. You are fecund in both mind and body.
The Present Berkano
Berkano is the Rune of birth and rebirth. This may symbolize a time when you are capable of great personal growth. Love may be in the air as well.
The Future Uruz
Uruz reversed may represent a time of discord in your life and a disassociation from your inner strengths. You may be in a rut—absent of goals or challenges. The power to change this lies within you. While opportunities may seem to be nonexistent, they are there and waiting for you to find them.
ANALYSIS: Ing is a Danish / Anglo-Saxon name for Freyr, the God of agriculture and fertility. Agriculture represents one of the first attempts by mankind to control the environment, and the fertility of crops, animals and people has always been the primary concern and religious focus of most Pagan agrarian societies. From the earliest Sumerian accounts to modern-day British folk custom, people throughout history have sought to ensure the success of their crops.
The vast majority of people in Western society have lost all contact and connection with the land and the process of growing things.
The spiritual consequences of this segregation from the earth have been disastrous, since most people find it difficult to relate to deity in a purely man-made environment. The shape of this rune can be likened to that of a field, but its real significance may lie in its balance, representing the harmonious relationship between ourselves and the four elements / four directions. Inguz reminds us of that ancient connection between the Gods and the land, and re-links (the real meaning of the ‘religion’) us with our spiritual natures through the realm of the physical. It is quite literally a grounding rune, and by reintroducing us to the earth, it reconnects our bodies, our minds and our spirits.
ðagaz
Only The World card of the Tarot can match the blessings that come with The Sun. While it certainly doesn’t promise a life’s path without some bumps in the road, The Sun indicates all will be well. The Sun is our Cosmic Nurturer. Life flourishes under its radiant beams. It provides the illumination to find Truths and lights one’s path so they do not get lost. To stand in the rays of The Sun is to shine. To absorb its energy promotes growth, exceptional physical and mental health, and good fortune. The Sun is empowering, elevating and fills those who bask in it with confidence and sense of self-worth.
The Moon will be in sensual Taurus all day Friday and into Saturday night. While this might set up a perfect date night for Friday evening, you’ll want to keep things as light as possible by Saturday night. This is because the Taurus Moon will be in opposition to restrictive Saturn. You’ll go from emotionally open to shut in the blink of an eye. Or, it’s possible that you’ll get your hopes high romantically, only to be disappointed by circumstances beyond your control.
Then, the Moon will enter Gemini on Saturday night turning emotional matters into “food for thought” for the rest of the weekend. Still, don’t expect to want to spend all of your time thinking about love. On Sunday, the Sun will square off with Uranus making everyone yearn to break free from anything stale or boring. Including an outworn relationship.
This Weekend’s Romantic Rating*
* Heart ratings are based on the lunar cycle. They range from low to full, with low indicating a rocky weekend for romance and full indicating plenty of passionate potential.
Much of the day is good for being introspective and reflective, dear Aries. Doing otherwise can cause some anxiety or undue stress, at least until late evening when your curiosity is ignited and the need for variety takes hold. However, procrastination can have you busy doing many things, except the most important tasks. Be versatile tonight and tomorrow, when distractions are plenty and changes of plans are likely. Look for important signposts when it comes to home and family projects and plans. You’re more able to see areas that can be better organized.
Taurus
Taurus
Until late evening, the emotional tone of the day is set by your own sign with the Moon in Taurus until then, dear Taurus. Emotions are heightened and powerful, but easy to manage. Even so, there can be some tendency to waste time or to procrastinate. Later today, life slows down a little and emotions settle. You might be looking for new ways to make or spend money. Matters require more thought before taking action, as you’re far less impatient with the Moon out of your sign. You might also get new insight into an intimate relationship or personal problem, simply by seeing behavior patterns more clearly and objectively.
Gemini
Gemini
You can be quite fine on your own much of the day, dear Gemini, and can be content to withdraw into yourself and center yourself or digest recent events and reactions. The Moon enters Gemini later in the day, bringing emotions to the surface and some feeling of emotional urgency along with them! This is a time when you may be seeking validation, expression of your feelings, or simply a stronger connection with someone or something. Watch for impatience driving decisions and behaviors, but do acknowledge feelings you’ve buried.
Cancer
Cancer
Taking a more relaxed and creative approach to your life right now can do wonders for you, dear Cancer. The Moon spends time in your friendship sector and then, from late evening forward, your privacy sector. Both transits suggest a need to pull yourself away from competitive energies, although it may not be achieved easily at the moment. A feeling of camaraderie with others can lift your spirits and make you feel that you’re moving forward. While the need for people is strong today, later today your desire for privacy or some form of withdrawal emerges. You are more adept than usual at seeing where you need to heal from recent emotional disturbances.
Leo
Leo
This can be a good day for taking care of practical matters, tending to responsibilities, and putting in some extra effort with your work, dear Leo. There can be some feelings of being under watch or some guardedness, but this can help motivate you to do your best. Later today, good social vibes are coming your way. You are more able to let your guard down and enjoy yourself, and tend to seek out non-competitive, accepting people and situations. This can also be a good time for doing design or layout work, or for bringing more structure to a creative project.
Virgo
Virgo
Others tend to either agree with you or step out of the way to let you do your own thing for much of the day, dear Virgo. It’s not a time for idling, however, as you can be itching to do something different, to learn something new, or to experience something outside of the regular routine. While you may feel a little bogged down by responsibilities later afternoon, and this can prevent some of this exploration, try to allow some time for doing something different at other points of the day. Later today, more industrious, practical efforts bring rewards. The need for some structure in your life, or to reassess goals, can figure strongly now.
Libra
Libra
This should be a good day for strategy and analysis, dear Libra. Focus can be on money matters, shared resources, intimacy, and power dynamics in relationships. While emotions can be on the darker side, it’s unlikely to be unpleasantly so, as you can more easily get to the bottom of matters. This evening, the Moon swings into your adventure sector, lightening your mood and stimulating a restless desire to move forward, discover new things, and break the routine. Even so, it’s a fine time for seeing important patterns in your studies or work.
Scorpio
Scorpio
There are times when it’s both kind and prudent to allow a trusted person in your life take the lead or have the floor, dear Scorpio, and this is typically the case when the Moon is in your opposite sign, as it is for most of today. Taking care of others’ needs, particularly if you’ve been self-involved or busy lately, can be rewarding now. Later today there can be a strong urge to uncover a truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. Alternatively, this energy could be felt through an important person in your life – he/she is looking for brutal honesty. Of course, care should generally be taken with sensitive topics, but sometimes it actually does us some good. It’s about putting something behind you.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
This can be another good day for getting things done, dear Sagittarius, and especially the not so glamorous jobs that are necessary but often seem unappealing. Today, you’re more willing and patient to see the rewards of getting and feeling organized. Find ways to get caught up in your day, as keeping busy in this way can feel good. Also find ways to increase your efficiency or productivity. Later today, you’re more likely to unwind and crave others’ company. Plans tend to be in others’ hands tonight and tomorrow, but this gives you the chance to find a better balance in your relationships.
Capricorn
Capricorn
You can magnetize love, good vibes, and positive attention to you today, dear Capricorn, and it’s a good idea to take responsibility both in action and word. More than usual, your own frame of mind determines results, so make the most of it. Later afternoon, your emotions gear up to take care of the business of your daily affairs. Details matter more than usual to you now. Even so, your close relationships can benefit as you more clearly see their emotional value to you.
Aquarius
Aquarius
If you feel the urge to be alone or with only a trusted few, try to acknowledge and honor this feeling, and if possible, fulfill the need, dear Aquarius. This is a time for filling the well, so to speak – for recharging and finding your center. If you do so, late afternoon’s emotional shift towards sharing and self-expression will come more naturally and can be taken full advantage of. This is a time for turning yourself outward, so to speak, and sharing your creative self. Romance may be in the air as well.
Pisces
Pisces
Versatility equals strength today, dear Pisces. Be adaptable and don’t expect to focus on any one endeavor for too long. Open your mind to new ways of looking at things, and entertain a variety of perspectives instead. Later evening brings a natural instinct to move back into your emotional shell. It’s time to find some peace of mind and reassurance, and this can come through surrounding yourself with familiar faces and places. Security becomes more important to you than variety-seeking now in this brief but important cycle that gives you the opportunity to find your emotional center.
You are quick-witted, enthusiastic, and an eternal explorer. You are often assessing what things are worth, and are generally very good at it – you have good taste and a knack for finding worthwhile and valuable things. You enjoy traveling and learning, and you are forever seeking meaning and truths in life. Although you very much dislike routine, you are also very security-conscious and need to lay down roots. Famous people born today: Jessica Simpson, Arlo Guthrie, Adrian Grenier, Sofia Vergara.
Familiarity, the world of the five senses, and comfort are your tonic today, dear Aries. This is a good time to tend to practical affairs and/or to reconnect with the natural world. Your emotional state is strengthened by feeling secure and independent, so that efforts to get to these states will be especially satisfying, even if they are small efforts. Keep your mind peaceful now, and you can learn and gain insights into recent events or problems. Configurations support these things.
Taurus
Taurus
The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Taurus, and it’s forming mostly easy aspects, suggesting a stronger sense that you can make what you want out of the day. It also helps you to easily find channels for expressing yourself. You have a zest for action today and you have much personal presence – you won’t go unnoticed right now. Others tend to support you, and a love interest can be especially intrigued. Your ability to communicate effectively boosts social relationships. It’s a good time for relaxing recreation as well, or for taking a break to refresh and rejuvenate yourself by either doing the things you most enjoy doing or simply bypassing the things that leave you feeling drained.
Gemini
Gemini
Good energy is with you for unwinding and detaching yourself emotionally from demanding situations, dear Gemini. This is a strong time for recuperation and regeneration if you can manage it. You may be in the need of more privacy, rest, or some other form of break until the Moon enters your sign tomorrow evening. You can come up with some great ideas about making money, doing business, and home improvement today; and work spent on solitary or private projects can benefit greatly. You can also have some personal epiphanies. Focusing on forgiveness can do wonders for you emotionally today.
Cancer
Cancer
This is a strong day for cooperation, gaining support, and even solving a problem or two, dear Cancer. You might come to an important agreement, find others quite accommodating and agreeable, and communication comes easily. There is sincere interest in one another so that relationships get a nice boost. There are times when standing out or calling special attention to your unique qualities is beneficial, but today its more about letting things flow around you, taking one for the team, and leaving your ego at the door so that you can truly enjoy others as your peers.
Leo
Leo
Others are drawn to you in subtle ways, and a gentle approach to the world serves you best today, dear Leo. Reputation is enhanced, particularly as you are clear in your value, both to the world and to individuals. The inner entrepreneur is alive and well today making this a good time for tending to business. You might also take action on a professional matter, and find the energy and gumption to push ahead. You could be in a position to take the lead on a matter, and this position always seems to become you!
Virgo
Virgo
You are more spontaneous than usual today, dear Virgo, and creative self-expression comes easily and naturally right now. You certainly are drawn to people with similar ideals and outlook, but you are also happy to interact with people who can expand upon these things, or introduce you to new things or ideas. You are attracting positive, happy, and forward-looking people into your life right now. Current relationships are a little spicier. You might inspire somebody with an idea or a unique perspective on a matter.
Libra
Libra
This is a strong day for observing things you might normally miss, dear Libra. Even so, connections made can be rousing. Observing and learning rather than jumping into action tends to be favored now, but it is also a good time for taking action on private matters. As introspective as you may be now, don’t totally hide yourself away, however, as there is likely to be interesting and possibly important information circling around you. Forgiveness and compassion can be highlighted today. It’s a wonderful time for healing, particularly if you aim to let go of emotional baggage, grudges, or resentment – you have cosmic support for this today!
Scorpio
Scorpio
Close relationships are on your mind today, dear Scorpio. You could be feeling more confident about pursuing a relationship, or for making amends with those close to you. You are an expert “middle guy” or go-between right now. Your capacity for compassion is enhanced right now, and your intuition is heightened. It’s not the best time for acting entirely independently or for making executive decisions, as you tend to thrive on others’ input, whether or not you actually use it! Having company is what it’s about, and company that you trust.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
This is a good time for seeing and dealing with details, dear Sagittarius, and you may even enjoy the process today. Housework, organizing, or maintaining order in your life may be on the agenda, or at the very least the key to your emotional satisfaction at the moment. Getting the little things done helps free yourself up from guilt and worry. This is a strong day for gluing the pieces together, and feeling the satisfaction for having done so. You might also find yourself helping others or playing a supportive role, quite willingly.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Easy energy for fruitful, pleasing interactions with others is with you today, dear Capricorn, making cooperation a real potential now. Love feels warm, friendly, and even healing. You’re in the mood for special attention, and you are more likely to receive it if you express your own feelings sincerely and without expectation. For the time being, don’t try to think too far ahead. Figure things out one step at a time. Conservative planning is more likely to bring success in creative endeavors, as well as with a romance. Today has an easy kind of energy to it that doesn’t demand attention, but gets it anyhow.
Aquarius
Aquarius
The day holds good potential for feeling a real sense of inner peace and balance, dear Aquarius. You have a serene aura about you, and there is likely to be a chance to talk about difficult or complex emotional matters successfully, easily, and painlessly! Whether you’re relating on intellectual or emotional levels, you tend to know what to say, not in a superficial way, but due to a strong understanding. It’s a good time to rectify problems or misunderstandings if something needs repair. Share your vision with others – you’ll find a receptive audience.
Pisces
Pisces
This can be a busy time of your month, dear Pisces, with the Moon influencing your communications sector. The Moon’s easy aspects today can point to a happy kind of “busy”, with good news to share or receive and the chance to get a whole lot of little things done and behind you. You might also make important connections with others. While the day tends to favor little jobs that require small levels of concentration, you can quite successfully move ahead a project that involves teamwork today, as all seem to be in agreement. A potentially healing conversation might occur with a partner or best friend.
