SNOW MOON FAERY BASKET

 

Draw the favors and gifts of the fairies to you with this faery basket.

You will need a large basket, moss, a snow globe, silk flowers, buttons, thimbles, a small wind chime, a seashell, a feather, a tiny mirror, crystals and white stones found in nature, and a fairy figurine( s). Amy Brown’s Fairy Devas are my favorite figurines.

At midnight, put this faery basket together. Line the basket with moss, and then put the items in the basket in a decorative way. For example, the mirror becomes a small reflective pool, the seashell a birdbath, the buttons stepping stones, and the thimbles faery caps. The faery figurine( s) gazes into the snowglobe, sitting among the silk flowers. As you decorate the basket, sing a favorite uplifting song or turn on some favorite tunes and sing along. Tie the wind chime onto the basket handle so that it dangles down and chimes. Take a deep breath in and out, hold the basket in your hands, merge with the divine faeries, and say:

Kind and helpful faeries, I offer you this gift

And respectfully ask you to share your magic with me

Kind and helpful faeries, my divine friends

Please bestow your beneficial favors upon me

By the blessed fae, blessed be!

Put the faery basket just inside your front door to draw the kind and helpful faeries into your home. Remember that the faeries also like bits of leftover food, milk, beer, juice and honey. Offer these to the faeries by setting them outdoors in your garden. Plant bulbs and flowers in your yard, and the faeries will grant you divine favors and gifts year after year.

Put the potpourri in your bedroom for a moon cycle to draw your heart’s desire to you. Return the bowl content to the earth after that time.

Dream Name Spell

 

Names are sacred and can be used for dream empowerment, as well as for protection from harm and attack.

To cast this spell, you will need a white candle, your favorite incense and your dream crystal.

About an hour before you go to sleep, draw a magic circle around your bedroom and call in the elements. Light the candle, dedicating it to the Goddess and God. Light the incense from the candle flame, and also dedicate it to the Goddess and God. Hold the crystal in your receptive hand. Reminder: Your receptive hand is opposite your power hand. Your power hand is the hand you eat with, your dominant hand. Your receptive hand is your non-dominant hand. If you are right-handed, your receptive hand is your left hand.

Merge with the divine, and say nine times:

Bright and shining ones, blessed be

Please reveal my dream name to me.

Still holding the crystal, speak aloud to yourself, repeating over and over again.

What is my dream name?

Many names will come to mind, but make an effort to hone in on the one name that repetitively comes to mind. It may be a name (or word) you are familiar with, or it might be a name (or word) you have never heard before. Once you know your dream name, state aloud that you are now known by your dream name (say the name), and that all the previous names you have been known by are not really your true names. Only one name represents the true you, and that is your dream name (say the name). State aloud that you are safe from harm and from any negative thoughts from anyone unless they know your dream name. Create an eternity clause in your dream name by setting up impossible tasks that would have to be performed by someone if they discovered it, and wanted to use it against you. For example say, “Before anyone can use my dream name against me, they would have to count the atoms, one by one, of all of the celestial bodies of the cosmos over and over again, backwards and forwards, forever and a night.” Remember, never write down or tell your dream name to another person, not even your mate or best friend.

When you are done, thank the Goddess and God, bid farewell to the elements, and pull up the circle. Allow the incense and candle to burn down completely. As you drift to sleep, silently repeat your dream name over and over again.

ACTIVE PASSIVE SPELL

 

At midnight, light a silver candle. Dedicate it to the divine. In your dream journal, write down all the people you currently have relationships with, one person per line: lover( s), family, friends, and acquaintances. List everyone who impacts your life. Next to each name on your list, write down what element, earth, air, fire, or water, the person most resembles. After listing your impressions of each person’s power element, go back through each name and list whether the individual is an active or passive person, and whether they are a positive or negative person.

Once you have completed the exercise, relax and reflect on the people around you. Is there more of one element or of another? Are the people in your life mostly active or passive, or is there a balance? Are they positive or negative? What do they talk about most of the time–good things or negative things? Do they complain a lot? Do they praise others? Beware of active, negative and passive, negative people as they will try to disrupt your life. Focus on the active, positive and active, passive people you know. They are more likely to have your best interests at heart. When you are done, allow the candle to burn down safely.

DARK MOON AFFIRMATION MAGIC

 

The dark moon can be a time of fear and doubt. This spell will help you to affirm your magic and move forward in your patterns.

You will need a white candle. Draw a circle of light and call in the elements. Light the white candle, and invite the Goddess into your circle:

Divine Mother so bright

Please bless my circle with your light.

Stand before your altar, and call out three times:

Today and everyday I am on a quest to make my life more the way I want it to be.

My magic is strong. I will prevail in my quest. So be it!

Thank the Goddess for her blessings, bid farewell to the elements, and pull up the circle. For best results, write the affirmation on an index card, and put it on your bathroom mirror. Read it aloud to yourself at least three time each day and three times each night.

Starlight, Star Bright Spell

 

Cast this spell to fill yourself with bright star power.

At midnight, look out your window or doorway at te stars for a few minutes. Then draw a magick circle and call in the elements. Light a white candle, dedicating it to the stars. Say:

Starlight, Star bright, you are the star I see tonight.

I wish I may, I wish I might, be forever divine starlight.

Now, inhale deeply and imagine a burst of starlight filling your lungs. Holding your breath causes the light to expand and move throughout your body. When you exhale, any negative feelings and thoughts are released through your breath.

Imagine you are a star whose light keeps growing brighter and brighter. You are a beacon in the night sky, shining as an example for all to see. You are making every effort to be the person you purport to be. Your ideal and real are continually moving closer to being one.

When you are done, bid farewell to the elements, pull up the circle, and allow the candle to burn down safely.

BLUE LIGHT DREAM MEDITATION

 

Blue light is used to wash negativity from your energy field.

Before you go to sleep, lie back comfortably. Take a deep breath to center your awareness.

Imagine a bright cobalt blue light shining in a stream into your power chakra at the base of your stomach. Sense its warmth as it begins to energize you on every level of your being. Starting in your gut, it sends out a positive harmonic that neutralizes any discomfort or negativity it encounters. Sense it moving through the various parts of your body, mind, and spirit, eliminating anything negative.

After eliminating the negative, the blue light then starts accentuating the positive energy in you. Imagine that you can take the blue light and manifest it into anything you want. Realize that all you have to do is wish it to be and it becomes reality.

While you drift to sleep, tell the blue light what you really want and who you really want to be. Repeat to yourself over and over:

Bright blue light, please empower my dreams.

SNOW MOON LOVE SHOWER

 

This is a shower best taken by two people.

You will need a cup of fine mud from a cosmetic mud mask.

Begin by standing in the bathtub and applying the mud to one another. Rub the mud all over your partner’s body, taking delight in the way it feels. Press your bodies together, exchanging mud in slippery skin movements.

The Earth Goddess and God merging together as One. In unison call out:

Goddess and God of the sacred earth

Mother and father of creation

Let the light be our guide

And love our mantra

So be it! Blessed be!

Step into the warm shower and wash the mud from each of your bodies while whispering loving thoughts to one another. Tell your lover how much you love them. End the shower by toweling each other dry.

Divining Love

 

This spell utilizes the ancient art of dowsing to answer your questions regarding love.

You will need two seventeen-inch lengths of wire and two five-inch hollow tubes. Copper wire works best with copper tubing as the holders. If nothing else, you can use metal coat hangers and straws.

Bend the wires into L shapes, with the long arm being twelve inches and the short arm five inches. The holders go around the short end. The wire should move freely around in the holder.

Hold the wire rods in each hand, outward from your waist, and take a deep breath in and out, and say:

May the Goddess bless these divining rods

as a true and clear oracle.

Now, think of a question regarding love and state it aloud three times. The rods should start parallel to one another. As you ask your question, watch what the rods do. If they open up, it’s a positive answer to your question. If they cross one another, it’s a negative response to your question.

Draw the power and passion of the Goddess to you with this ritual oil.

You will need nine tablespoons of grape seed oil, six drops of sandalwood-scented oil, two drops of lavender essential oil, and twelve drops of vanilla extract.

Pour the oils and extract into a bottle with a sealed top. Shake the oil while saying:

Goddess of love bless this sensuous oil

Please fill it with your divine power and passion.

Incense and Peppermints Dream Spell

 

This spell is to stir your passion for life and love.

You will need a cup of vanilla tea, frankincense incense, music conducive to dream magic, and a peppermint candy cane.

Begin by brewing the tea and lighting the incense. Put on the music and lick the candy cane three times, savoring its sweet peppermint taste. Take a deep breath and let the aroma of the incense fill your nostrils, and say:

Incense and peppermint, awaken the passion in me

So that I might truly come alive, so mote it be!

Stir the tea with the candy cane three times, and say three times:

Awaken my passion, blessed be!

Eat the candy cane and drink the tea, enjoying every last bit of it. Let your senses continue to enjoy the aroma of the incense and sound of the music. As you drift to sleep, imagine your senses aroused and waiting to be fully awakened. Give yourself the suggestion:

Tonight my dreams are sensuous and filled with passion.

How To Celebrate an Autumn Full Moon – Group Ceremony

In addition to — or instead of — holding a monthly Esbat rite, some Wiccan and Pagan groups prefer to have a season-specific full moon ceremony. The traditional autumn season includes September’s Harvest Moon and the Blood Moon of October, and wraps up with the Mourning Moon of November. If you’d like to celebrate one or more of these moon phases with a ritual specific to the harvest, it’s not hard.

This rite is written for a group of four people or more, but if you needed to, you could easily adapt it for a solitary practitioner.

Try to hold this ritual outside. Fall nights are usually crisp and cool, and a perfect time for outdoor rituals. Ask each member of the group to bring an item to place on the altar — something that represents the bounty of the harvest. Decorate the altar with these seasonal goodies. Some ideas would be:

• You’ll want to include quarter candles*, as well as a cup of wine or cider. If you’re including Cakes and Ale as part of your celebration, place your cakes on the altar as well
• A basket of apples
• Gourds, squashes, or small pumpkins
• Indian corn
• Colorful leaves
• Stalks of grain or wheat

Assign a member of the group to call each quarter. Each person should stand at their assigned quarter holding their unlit candle (and a lighter or matches), and facing the altar. If there are more than four of you present, form a circle.

Some traditions choose to begin rites facing east, while others prefer the north.

This ritual begins with the calling of the north quarter, but you can adjust or adapt it based on the needs of your own tradition.

The person in the north quarter lights their green candle, holds it to the sky, and says:

We call upon the powers of Earth,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the fertile soil of the land bring us
prosperity, abundance, and the bounty of the land,
in this time of harvest.

Place the candle on the altar.

The person to the east should light her yellow candle, hold it to the sky, and say:

We call upon the powers of Air,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the winds of change bring us wisdom and knowledge
in this season of abundance and bounty.

Place the candle on the altar.

Moving to the south, light the red candle and hold it to the sky, saying:

We call upon the powers of Fire,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the shining light of this season’s moon
illuminate our way through the coming winter.

Place the candle on the altar.

Finally, the person to the west lights the blue candle, holds it to the sky, and says:

We call upon the powers of Water,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the cool autumn rains wash away
the last comforts of summer,
and prepare us for the chill that is to come.

Place the candle on the altar.

Have everyone in the circle join hands and say:

We gather tonight by the light of the moon,
to celebrate the season, and rejoice.
May the next turn of the Wheel bring us love
and compassion, abundance and prosperity,
fertility and life.
As the moon above, so the earth below.

Go around the circle, passing the wine or cider. As each person takes a sip, they should share one thing they are looking forward to in the coming month. Do you hope to manifest financial independence? Develop your intuitive powers? Or are you perhaps hoping to grow your relationships? Now is the time to state your intent.

Take a moment to reflect on the bounty of the season. When everyone is ready, either move on to your next ceremony — Cakes and Ale, Drawing Down the Moon, healing rites, etc. — or end the ritual.

Tips:

• Quarter candles are colored candles based on the colors of the four cardinal directions: green for north, yellow for east, red to the south and blue in the west.

Full Moon Tuesday

 

For this Tuesday night full moon spell, we are working with fire magick and warrior energy. This spell incorporates one of the court cards from the tarot deck, the Knight of Swords. If you recall, the Knight of Swords can be summed up in two words: no fear!

 

The “No Fear” Spell

This spell is best worked outdoors.

Supplies are as follows:

1 red taper illuminator candle

1 black taper illuminator candle coordinating black metal candle holders (use wrought iron, if possible)

A pin or nail to engrave Mars’s symbol on the candles

The Knight of Swords card from your tarot deck

A fireproof small metal cauldron

A sheet of paper, no larger than 6 inches square

Black ink pen

Rubbing alcohol

Wooden matches

An outdoor working area-make sure it is a flat, safe surface to set up all of the spell supplies on (you need to be outside for this one, otherwise you will set off the smoke alarms while you are burning the paper in the cauldron; talk about blowing the magickal mood!)

You have to be careful with the fire. Anytime you have an open flame inside of a cauldron, fire pit, or fireplace and you add magick and intention, things tend to be unpredictable with the flames. Also, just a few drops of alcohol will help that paper burn. So don’t go overboard and singe yourself. Safety first! The spell fire is symbolic. A little fire held within a metal cauldron that is lit with intention does pack more power than you realize, so please be smart and safe and work this full moon spell with care.

Arrange the outdoor setup as follows. Engrave and then place the candles in their holders, and set them toward the back of your working area. Position the metal cauldron dron in the center. Leave a small area to place the Knight of Swords card in front of the cauldron, where it is easily visible. Set the rubbing alcohol, the matches, and paper and pen to the side and within reach.

To start, take up the paper and pen and write down what it is that you fear. Keep it short and to the point. Then, fold the paper in half and drop it into the cauldron. Sprinkle a bit of rubbing alcohol on the paper. Close up the bottle and set it off and away to the side. Now put your game face on. Call up whatever courage you can muster. Visualize those Spartan soldiers or the god Mars standing strong and right alongside of you. Come on, tap into that warrior energy. Growl. Get tough, and raise up some courageous energy. Hold your hands out and over the cauldron. Now repeat this verse with intention:

Mars energy is bolstered by the full moon light

I remove anxiety and stress on this night

Mighty warrior energy now defeats the shadows and fear

As I conjure bravery and courage to reside with me here!

Move your hands away from the cauldron. Step back from the work area and strike the match. Carefully drop it on top of the paper inside of the cauldron. If necessary, you can hold the match to the edge of the paper and encourage it to completely burn. If you need to use a couple of matches, that’s fine. Just drop the spent matches inside of the cauldron. Keep going until the paper is ash. Then close the spell with these lines:

Ashes to ashes and dust to moon dust

My courage soars and my magick is just

I work boldly with the days of witchery

This lunar spell is sealed; set the magick free!

You may snuff the black and red illuminator candles and take them inside with you. If you wish, use them again for other Tuesday spells or to repeat this spell if necessary. Allow the contents of the cauldron to cool completely, then take a little garden spade and bury the ashes in the garden. Pour water on top of the spot to make doubly sure nothing is smoldering. Tap your fist on the ground on top of it, and say:

So mote it be!

Now, go and clean out your cauldron. Keep the tarot card with you for a week to bolster your courage. To close up this full moon magick, go do something positive. Take a jog or a walk under that enchanting moon. Play some music and dance, or go find your partner and make love. Just do something positive, life-affirming and physical. Any of those activities will help you to ground and center.
