Wolf can survive either as a loner or as part of a pack, and he howls to remind you that you have to balance the needs of others with the needs of the self. If you’re giving yourself away to your own detriment, you are living in opposition to Wolf medicine. Return to balance—and begin feeding your emotions, your mind, and your body.
Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning.
The Tree
The Tree symbolizes spiritual health and growth. The healthy tree is rooted in a rich, nurturing medium, has a strong trunk from which leaf laden branches fan out to capture the sun’s energy. The Tree represents a healthy spirit entrenched in experience and strengthened by wisdom. It is a spirit that is happy with itself, but continues reaching to become even wiser, more complete, happier, stronger. While The Tree represents a strong and independent spirit, it is also a life-force that owes much of its strength and growth to being surrounded by other healthy spirits.
Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.
The Sword
The Sword is a a call to action. It indicates challenges are before you and to attain your goals you will have to address them. The Sword does not suggest rash or underhanded behavior on your part. Indeed, while actions indicated by The Sword are decisive, they are based on the power of your wisdom and ethics. The strength of The Sword lies in the moral purity of your actions.
Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.
Mars
Mars represents those qualities we commonly associate with the male/yang persona. Mars traits include raw energy, ambition, aggression, confidence, passion, and a sense of adventure. The occurrence of Mars denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. Martian influence may have a negative impact unless it is balanced with an influence that can blunt the brashness and impulsiveness of Mars.

Although men have stepped upon the moon and scientists have analyzed it almost endlessly, there remains in our collective unconscious a vision of the moon that shrouds it in mystery. And why wouldn’t there be? Being earth’s closest neighbor, having a clear influence on many of earth’s cycles and constantly changing in appearance, it is only fitting that our ancestors endlessly pondered and speculated on our magnificent moon’s powers. The Moon represents the pure feminine nature and the gateway to understanding the mystical world that cannot be explained by science. Its soft glow provides a gentle light in the darkness of night. Metaphorically, the powers associated with the moon supply the seeker with a light to explore the mystical aspects of our world. It empowers the sense of wonder in those open to psychic adventures.
As a daily card, The Moon is indicative of a time when your feminine side and connection to the spiritual world is very strong. Essentially you are “tuned in” spiritually which makes this an ideal time for you to investigate your place in our mystical world.

Daily Witches Rune for the Day
The Birds
Keywords: Unexpected news, change.
Meanings: The Birds Rune means some unexpected news that may alter your life completely, especially if this is the leading rune. Generally, the news will lead to a positive change but pay close attention to the nearest runes to determine its nature. It can also mean news of friends or family that you haven’t had contact with in quite a while. Letters and documents should be watched for as they may well bring happiness.

The completely feminine counterpart to The Magician, the High Priestess is the Gatekeeper of the subconscious, the unknown. She travels in worlds which most of us only glimpse in our dreams. Her realm is that of unseen truths, untapped potentials, and hidden dangers. The Calling of The High Priestess is to go beyond the obvious and visible to tap those powers which are veiled from normal vision. While she is passive by nature, she has the power to uncover unknown potential and is very aware of the infinite potential all humans harbor within them. She is also very patient. She can wait for events to blossom in their own time.

The Chariot is the representation of Victory and the personality traits required to attain victory. The Chariot indicates self-awareness and control. Courage—the ability to overcome fear and confront the unknown head on–is a primary ingredient of any victorious campaign and is denoted by the Chariot. So too is force of will. Often success is as much the product of will power and a refusal to surrender as it is anything else. The Chariot also represents the healthy personality of someone who believes in themselves; someone who can take control of the situation and bring events to a positive end. His successes come in competition with others.
Aries
Today is strong for discovering new interests or reviving old ones, dear Aries. Ideas that come to you now, particularly about areas ruled by the third house (learning, mental interests, communication, neighbors, connections, and siblings), can be especially important, as they may very well kickstart a long-term interest or pursuit. There can be helpful conversations today about the past or about previously tricky topics. Your advice to someone can be sought and appreciated. You could benefit greatly from looking back at recent ideas or decisions now, as there is new perspective and energy available for doing so. As rational as the day feels, you’re also strongly intuitive now. Friends or networking can be helpful and possibly catalysts for ideas birthed now.
Taurus
When it comes to money, business, valuables, talents, and personal possessions, pay special attention to ideas coming in today and this week, dear Taurus, whether they come from within yourself or from information circling around you. Looking to the past for answers makes sense now, and can even be profitable for some of you! For example, money that you had written off could now come in. There is new, fertile energy with you for reviewing old problems and coming at things from a fresh perspective. Not everything is likely to make sense, as is often the case with new beginnings, but what comes out of conversations and thoughts today can be significant later. You are projecting a lot of warmth and love on a public or professional level today, and this can benefit you greatly.
Gemini
This can be a great day for making a review of sorts, dear Gemini, of recent decisions and ideas. Observations made now can lead to new ideas, improvements, or other developments that you could put into action later. It’s a time for taking stock and thinking about changes you’d like to make. The New Moon in your sign on June 16th will launch an especially good period for implementing your ideas. Even so, today is an important part of the process. What you communicate today has more impact than usual with Mercury in your sign and conjunct the Sun. People are hearing you, but not necessarily seeing the whole picture, so it’s important to be clear and mindful about what you’re saying and writing. Opinions and beliefs heard now can be inspiring.
Cancer
You can be very busy with your memories these days, dear Cancer, and you may be coming to some important conclusions. Ideas can come to you from within, from dreams, and from impressions, but information you come across today can be significant when it comes to letting go of bad attitudes or situations. There could be a secret revealed, a eureka moment, or you could otherwise be seeing old problems or a past matter in a very revealing new light. Discoveries can be rich now, and others supportive. The Moon’s move into your playful solar fifth house today brings out a more expressive side of you. It’s a good time for letting your inner child roam free.
Leo
You can be especially sensitive to what’s going on around you and to what’s said today, dear Leo, with your ruler, the Sun, in alignment with retrograde Mercury. What you communicate has a little more impact than usual, making it important to be mindful of how and what you’re saying/writing. A partner and/or friends can be giving you important feedback, but you’re also gathering valuable information from or through them now. It’s a powerful time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests, decisions, and ideas. Ideas coming from this period can be significant ones for you in the long term. A friend from the past may reappear in your life, or you could come to a new understanding of an old friendship. Interactions today are encouraging and possibly quite fruitful.
Virgo
This is a strong time for reviewing recent business projects, decisions, or ideas, dear Virgo. Alternatively, thinking about life direction and long-term goals in new ways can be fruitful now, and can also lead to significant new ideas. You could come to a significant conclusion about your next move, or about certain directions your life is taking. There is considerably more impact or punch to what and how you communicate today, so be extra choosy when it comes to your words, manner, and even whether or not to make a statement or observation right now. Work and health matters can benefit from a review or even a brainstorming session now. Think in terms of recycling or reviving old projects or ideas. The Moon moves into your communications sector today, and this brings a busier pace. This position tends to stimulate your curiosity.
Libra
The Moon leaves your sign this morning, Libra, and this tends to settle your emotions. Emotional needs feel less urgent, and this allows you to focus on other concerns. This is an important idea day for you, although a significant idea begun now is likely in a rather raw state. Pay more attention to what information comes in to you now, but also from your own musings. Thoughts might turn to the past, or to recent decisions and plans, but you’re looking at things in a very new light. This can be very helpful. The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring, especially interesting, and possibly quite enlightening. There is no need to force anything – just let your mind go. Children, a romantic partner, or friend can be especially considerate or encouraging now.
Scorpio
There can be wonderful energy with you for delving into your own psychology, intimate thoughts, and feelings, dear Scorpio. You can be quite self-absorbed, but in the good sense of the word, as you could be making some important discoveries now. Conversations about intimate or taboo matters can be helpful and particularly creative. Loved ones may be a little more open and considerate than usual. You could be coming to important conclusions, or gaining clues, to a mystery or other investigation now. New insight into an old relationship or into your own psyche can be helpful and enlightening. The Moon enters your sign this morning, reawakening emotions or emotional needs that you’ve recently set aside.
Sagittarius
Illumination about a relationship matter can occur around now, dear Sagittarius, and it’s about looking at something (or someone) from the past in a new way. You won’t have all the facts or answers right now, but this is a time for some serious rethinking of matters. Today is strong for opening up conversations, particularly about the past, as there is more consideration for both sides of a situation. These conversations, whether about or with a significant other, can be important ones, even if you don’t yet see their significance. Counseling and advice can be in focus and helpful. The Moon moves into your privacy zone today, signaling the need for rest and emotional recuperation.
Capricorn
There can be a real desire to put everything into order today, and especially your thoughts, dear Capricorn. You can also feel the need to help or support others with information you’ve gathered for them, or with your own advice. Watch, however, for pressure to do things or to come to a conclusion too quickly. Let intuition work for you. Do take the time to consider problems, as you’re inclined now to come at them from a new angle and this can be very helpful. You might gain important insight into a work or health issue. Ideas born now can have significance later. This is also a fine time for dreaming up marketing strategies.
Aquarius
This can be a day of creative inspiration, dear Aquarius, and you might experience an epiphany of sorts about a creative or romantic matter. Reviewing old ideas can lead to a positive recycling experience, as new methods can come to light, which can be very important in the months to come. You are especially receptive to the advances of others and this openness can bring new opportunities into your life. This might also have to do with new “old” opportunities, as someone from your past could reappear and an old issue might be wrapped up or clarified. Whether this happens in the flesh or in your mind, it’s helpful and serves a good purpose. There is strong energy today for showing others you care.
Pisces
There is a strong inclination today to analyze, sort, and make sense of matters from the past, dear Pisces, particularly with (or about) family. In some respects, this is the case for the whole week. Try not to push for answers, but do some gentle exploration now, as ideas that come out of your conversations and reminiscing now can in fact be significant later – possibly even defining. Your communications, and what others are expressing as well, have more punch than usual. As such, it’s important to be mindful of what you’re saying, but also to let intuition in. This is a good day for releasing a problem through conversation with someone you trust.
You are an “idea person” with a sharp mind and a gift for gab. You are exceptionally passionate and quite idealistic about love, which can lead to ups and downs in your love life. You exude strength of character, although sometimes your harder outer “shell” can hide a person with many soft corners inside. Famous people born today: John F. Kennedy, Bob Hope, La Toya Jackson, Melissa Etheridge, Annette Bening.
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. You’re seeing things that you completely overlooked before, or that were hidden from you. You’re also seeing those things that are less than obvious, and you can find a lot of benefit in learning these things. 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. There can be wonderful inspiration or more practical help for your work through friends or networks right now, and a conversation or bit of news can inspire you to reinvigorate an old project that has strong potential for following through as well as for success. Pay special attention to information coming in and to your instincts.
Virgo
This can be an especially fertile time for work, business, and other practical ideas, dear Virgo, and also strong for research into techniques for managing your health and wellness. Mercury’s retrograde is enabling a new perspective on old problems, projects, and approaches, particularly related to work and long-term goals. Today and tomorrow, you’re especially creative, imaginative, and eager to discover unique ways to manage your life better. You could be giving someone a needed pep talk or offering practical support. This is a strong day for insights and discoveries that truly help and empower you.
Libra
The Moon continues to transit your sign all day, dear Libra, and you’re attracting some nice attention your way. You’re also inclined to take things a little more personally right now. Today, people are especially interested in your conversation, ideas, and opinions, and you may be leading the way in some manner amongst friends and associates. 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. Your vision of these things can suddenly improve, and ideas and strategies for better managing your life and dealing with problem areas can come to you in a wonderful flash now. There can be a renewed feeling of affection with a family member today, and the sharing of helpful ideas and support.
Sagittarius
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.
Capricorn
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. You might solve a mystery or find the final piece of an old puzzle or problem. There can be a lot of satisfaction in offering your practical support, largely through information or your skills. Strategies for increasing your income may come to you now.
Aquarius
Today and tomorrow are strong for coming to a new perspective about a matter revolving around the fifth house, dear Aquarius, which can be about a child, a creative project, a romance, or a hobby. Your mind is especially fertile, and you’re in a good position to help others, particularly younger people, with your advice or information, or in a mentor capacity. You may be nurturing others through your words now. Your thinking is also strong for seeing resources that you’ve overlooked in the past. Drawing upon your natural talents comes easily and is appreciated by others today.
Pisces
This can be a strong time for rethinking home and family affairs, dear Pisces, and coming to new strategies to improve things. It’s also a good time for sharing personal thoughts and memories with people you trust. You may be working especially well with a group or team, or with a fiend, towards a common goal or cause. You could renew an interest in an old project or return to something you’ve left unfinished. There is generally good judgment with you today, particularly when it comes to opportunities. You may very well find new meaning and purpose in something you’re doing now. There is a good sense of when to take the lead and when to let others do so.
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

There can be some very necessary indecision today, particularly early on with Mercury and Neptune forming a square. Early on the 31st, the Sun will form a square to Neptune as well, and Venus will form a sesquiquadrate to Neptune. These aspects can be temporarily disorienting if we’ve been overlooking our spiritual, creative, and imaginative needs, as we can feel some discontent and uncertainty. This slowdown is confusing at first, but necessary as it gives us a chance to discover what we may have been missing. It’s a difficult time to get clarity, and if we push too hard in this respect, it can be a discouraging time. However, we might consider that solid, definite answers are not necessary for us at the moment. Letting go of the need to control, itemize, and rationalize just a little can help us tremendously at this time.
Later today, influences that stir creativity and resourcefulness involve Mercury biquintile Pluto and both bodies quintile Vesta, as well as a trine between Mercury and Ceres. There can be dedication to, or renewed interest in, a project or topic. Research can be effective.

Faery Sprite Wish Spell
Sprites are shy, reclusive and exquisite. These winged faeries live in meadow and woodland glens. There are many types of sprites, depending upon their element. They like nuts, acorns, and sweet treats, and love to be flattered by mortals. Water Sprites are the marine counterparts of Leprechauns, who often horde gold and riches and reward the clever and true.
You will need jasmine-scented oil, nine nuts such as almonds or pecans, a white sock, and a piece of candy.
About an hour before you go to sleep, anoint yourself with the scented oil.
Anoint each of the nine nuts with a drop of jasmine-scented oil. As you anoint each nut, repeat:
Helpful faery Sprites of earth, air, water, and light,
I ask that you please grant me my wish tonight.
Put the nuts into the sock, and hold the sock in between your hands. Merge with the faery spirits, and repeat your wish three times. Eat the piece of candy. Before eating it, say:
Helpful faery Sprites of earth, air, water, and light,
I ask that you please grant me my wish tonight.
Put the nuts into the sock, and hold the sock in between your hands. Merge with the faery spirits, and repeat your wish three times. Eat the piece of candy. Before eating it, say:
Sweet faery Sprite dreams.
May my wish come true.
Put the sock in your pillowcase and as you drift to sleep, repeat your wish over and over again. Anoint the sock with a few drops of oil now and again, and keep it in your dresser or desk drawer until your wish comes true. Afterward, return the nuts to the earth as an offering to the Sprites. As you do, say:
These nuts are an offering to the helpful faery Sprites.
Thank you for your help. Blessed be!

Waxing Moon Spell For ConfidenceWe all need a bit of a confidence boost every so often so give this little spell a try.
What you need:
A malachite crystal
A white candle
A green candle
If you would like to, you can dress your altar with white flowers and add some sprigs of green parsley. Set the green and white candle on your altar and sit in front of them, light them both.
Take the malachite crystal in your hand and ask out loud for help from the Divine for courage, confidence and communication skills. Visualise yourself as being full of confidence. Touch the crystal to your mouth for the blessings of communication, to your ears for the power of listening and understanding, and then to your throat for the blessings of confidence.
Focus your thoughts on the candle flames until they burn out, keeping hold of the crystal as you do so. You can then carry the crystal with you in a pocket, purse or bag.

Getting Those Herbs Gardens Ready, How About Planting By The MoonA lot of gardeners, even those who aren’t witches, plant and harvest by the phases of the Moon. You can still find old almanacs that list what to plant and when in line with astrological timings. Think how much the Moon affects the sea and her tides, so it must affect the earth and how things grow too.
A Waxing Moon is good for planting. Fruit ready for eating straight away should be picked on a Waxing Moon; a Waning Moon is good for planting plants that fruit below ground such as potatoes. A Waning Moon is also good for pruning, weeding and harvesting food to be stored.
Just after a New Moon plant leafy vegetables and herb seeds.
Waxing Moon gardening activities include potting cuttings, re-pottting house plants and picking herbs, fruit and vegetables for eating straight away.
On a Full Moon plant vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and onions (any type of ‘watery’ vegetables and fruit). Fertilise your plants on a Full Moon too.
Just after Full Moon plant tuber vegetables such as carrots and potatoes, also biennials and perennials.
On a waning Moon start a compost heap, weed, cut and prune, pick fruits and flowers, herbs and vegetables that will be stored.
Close to the Dark Moon cut timber and spray any fruit trees (preferably with eco friendly spray).
Then you have the categories for the astrological signs; a list of each type of energy is show below, either barren, productive, semi-fruitful or fruitful:
Moon in Aries: Barren
Moon in Taurus: Productive
Moon in Gemini: Barren
Moon in Cancer: Fruitful
Moon in Leo: Barren
Moon in Virgo: Barren
Moon in Libra: Semi fruitful
Moon in Scorpio: Fruitful
Moon in Sagittarius: Barren
Moon in Capricorn: Productive
Moon in Aquarius: Barren
Moon in Pisces: Fruitful
Another useful guide is:
Above Soil-Level Plants: These are the plants that will produce crops above the ground; these should be sown the day after the New Moon up until the first quarter, preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.
Annuals: Plant the day after the New Moon up until the day before the first quarter, preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.
Below Soil-Level Plants: These are the plants that crop under the ground. These should be planted during the day after the Full Moon, preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.
Biennials and Perennials: This category includes shrubs and trees. Begin planting the day after the Full Moon and up to the day before the last quarter preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.
Seed Collection: This is best done at the Full Moon when the Moon is in a fire or air astrological sign such as Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini or Aquarius.
Harvesting: Picking fresh flowers and smaller harvests for magical use straight away, can be done in the early evening. If you want to dry and store the flowers and herbs, cut them mid morning, after the dew has evaporated. Fruit and vegetables are best harvested during the Waning Moon and when the Moon is in a barren or semi-barren fire or air sign such as Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini or Aquarius.

29 MayThis popular British festival is held annually on May 29 and commemorates the return of King Charles II from exile. It was on this day in 1660 that Charles made his triumphant return to London, thus ending the English Republic and Cromwell’s puritanical horrors. Celebrations include the ringing ing of bells, church services, bonfires, and the tossing of eggs at anyone not wearing an oak leaf.
From the very beginning, the essential elements of this festival have rested with the boughs of oak leaves-a representation sentation of the oak in which Charles had hidden from Parliamentary troops after his defeat at Worcester (in 1651). However, it is also possible that much of the tradition that is still held comes from a far older time, when worship of the oak was perpetuated by various Pagan cults.
For many, Friday is the last work day of the week. It’s considered the fifth day of the work week and, also, the “cut loose” day. By Friday night, people are out having a party. That makes Friday the perfect day for lust, banish, fast-grant, and find spells . This day is so powerful (energy wise). That’s why whatever you do on this day will, usually, have a strong effect. If you want things out of your life, the darkness and power, associated with this day, bring the energy you need for that. If you need strong, immediate results, this is your day, as well.
A Tarot Spell for Pregnancy and Childbirth
Frigga is the Norse goddess that is associated with childbirth, motherhood, and the home. She is a powerhouse of maternal energies and gentle wisdom, which makes her the perfect goddess to call on for this type of spell. Gather the following supplies:
1 green or white candle with matching holder or a plain seven-day candle
The Empress and the Two of Cups tarot cards
Grains (dried barley or stalks of wheat, or a bit of whole wheat flour)
A cauldron, cup, or small bowl to hold the grains
An item of sympathy for the baby, like a baby bootie or an ultrasound photo
12 inches pink and baby blue satin ribbon to tie around the candle holder
An item of sympathy for the mother, such as a small lock of her hair or a photo of her or the two of you taken while she’s pregnant
Fresh flowers in a vase (use whatever is in season, in the garden, or affordable)
If your due date is fast approaching, you might want to set up this spell where you can see it every day-try the top of your dresser or on a shelf in the living room. If you prefer, try one of those large seven-day types of candles (you know, the kind that comes in a tall glass jar). That way, you can light and relight the candle as the mood suits you. If you are working this spell for your partner, make sure to get their permission sion and try working the spell together as a couple about to become a family.
Set up this spell in an arrangement that pleases you. Place the grains or the flour inside of the cauldron to keep the area tidy. Try propping up the tarot cards and photo against the candle, cup, or cauldron. During the pregnancy, I would repeat the spell once a month. As you get into the last week of the pregnancy, I would repeat it every day. (The seven-day candle will come in handy for that.) If you are working this together as a couple, then adjust the words accordingly.
Frigga I do call, protect and watch over me today
Bless this child that I carry as it grows stronger each day
Tokens of fertility are the grains and the flowers
Candles and cards are symbols of a new mother’s power
Guard us both during the labor and delivery
Help me to be strong and to have a healthy baby.
Close the spell with this line:
By the Mother Goddess, the moon and sun
By the power of love, this spell is done.
Allow the candle to burn for as long as you wish, just be sure to keep an eye on it. Replace the grains and flowers with fresher ones as needed. Good luck to your family, and best wishes for a safe delivery and a happy, healthy baby!
