Focus can be powerful
When used for spell or charm
But too much focus gone awry
Can cause both woe and harm.
Today I vow to do my best
To let go of obsession
What I crave’s not good for me
And I have learned my lesson.
I seek to walk a balanced path
Of healthy wants and needs
I ask the Gods to lend me strength
And grant me my release.
So Mote It Be.
A Tarot spell to enhance your sexual attractiveness
This spell uses some of the images from the Tarot deck to enhance your attractiveness and charm. It helps draw potential lovers to you.
Ingredients:
It is important to set the right mood for this spell. Take a ritual bath by candlelight and wear something that makes you feel really attractive and sexy
Remove the following cards from the deck:
The Lovers
The Magician
Light the incense. Aphrodisia and Jasmine are associated with love, sensuousness and attraction.
Then light the red candle—red represents passionate love.
Now set down The Star—meditate on the image of the beautiful person glowing from within. Imagine yourself as this person filled with the radiance and beauty of a star. Imagine yourself as a star, the centre of attention lit from within by a magickal light.
Then leaving a space next to the star, lay down The Lovers. As you study this card, visualize yourself giving and receiving passionate love. See yourself as a magnet for love, as simply irresistable.
Finally lay down The Magician between The Star and The Lovers. You are The Magician. All the power in the universe is within you and all around you.
Now raise both hands above you, fingertips extended. Draw energy from the Cosmos, especially from the stars. As you draw down the energy, you will feel yourself glowing, radiant like a star, exuding charm and attractiveness.
When the time seems right incant:

Today we pay homage to ‘Old Rock Day’ by sharing the ‘rock’ most associated with January — the garnet. When worn or carried, this special gemstone is said to attract fortune and luck. Long considered a regenerative and healing stone, the garnet is also believed to bring strength and stamina. Wearing it can clear your mind while triggering clarity and compassion. A true jewel, the garnet is a stabilizing old stone that is strong and sincere. Let’s celebrate this rock today — because that’s how we roll.

This spell works best when performed during a waxing or full moon, but if you’re in a pinch, it can be cast any time. For this spell, carry a piece of aquamarine in your pocket, and bring basil incense and your wand or athame to the shore. This is a good time to use your shell incense burner and your driftwood wand. While facing the sea, cast your circle or draw a pentacle in front of you with your wand. Light the incense and call upon the spirits of the sea to bring you prosperity. If you have a specific sea deity that you honor, address them with your desires. Otherwise, speak your affirmations to the water:
As there are grains of sand in the seaSo shall be my health and prosperity
If you need a specific sum of money, use your wand or athame to write it in the sand close to the water so the waves will carry your wish out to sea. Take time to meditate; the waters may provide an answer to your money problems immediately. When the incense has burned out, extinguish the charcoal or flames with sand, then be sure to clean up after yourself before you leave. Thank the spirits of the sea may come to you with the answers to your money problems. When your situation has been improved or resolved, return to the same spot where the spell was cast, and offer the aquamarine to the sea, thanking it once again for its help.
‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler
Think on pleasant things. Deliberately turn your thoughts to something pleasant when the pressures are too intense. And be careful as undisciplined thought quickly sifts back to the unhappy, unsettled mind.
The greater part of the time we are victims of our emotions. They play havoc with our peace of mind and are great friends of pessimism. They tell us things are true with such sincerity that we believe them into fact. They convince us things are a certain way and that we cannot remedy them with any amount of effort.
But stop where you are and consider what it is you are listening to and how it affects your feelings. Do a turnabout and take the positive route of deliberatel
y replacing thoughts of unhappiness, injustices, and misunderstandings with the thought that these are merely chariots to carry us past all that has withheld freedom.

Bring Lust or Love Back Into A Relationship Bottle
Get a small bottle with a lid, you can cleanse it and consecrate it if you wish.
Either write the name of you and your lover or your symbols on a piece of paper, then put
the paper inside the bottle so the side with the writing on is facing outwards.
Grind up some herbs that are used in love or lust charms.
Love- rose petals, jasmine flowers, lavender, orisis root.
Lust – ginger, cloves, cinnamon, caraway.
Whilst you are grinding them up visualize you and your partner (or future partner)
being deeply in lust or happy and in love, you could also say something while doing this like:
“herbs of the earth herbs of lust bring me passion in you I trust”
Then put them into the bottle – Then add drops of essential oils used for love or lust.
Love-rose, rosemary, ylang ylang.
Lust- patchouli, cinnamon, ylang ylang, orange.
Fill the bottle with oil almost to the top.
Get a candle (preferably pink or red) and drip wax into the bottle until it is about to overflow
and then put the lid on the bottle while the wax is still molten. This seals the spell.
Sit and mediate for a while and do whatever you normally do to ‘charge up’ your charms.
Imagine the bottle glowing with a pink or red light.
You can carry or wear the bottle or you could bury or hang it somewhere special to you and
in the future if you no longer require lust or love between you and your partner, then smash
the bottle and bury it somewhere far away
This spell is exactly what it sounds like. You are putting up a protective umbrella to shield and help all those who are underneath it.
The Spell
Find the biggest white candle available.
Carve your name and birth date into the candle, as well as the name and birth date of those needing your help.
Add five drops each of the following oils to a quarter cup of olive oil:
Oil of Spinenard Oil of Myrrh Oil of Sandalwood Oil of FrankincenseAnoint your candle with the oil.
Now place your candle in a dish filled with sea salt.
Write your desire or wish on a piece of paper. It might be a wish for a loved one’s speedy recovery, or safety as they travel overseas, or help with difficult divoroce. Whatever it is, make sure your request is clearly written on the paper.
Place the paper under the candle and light the wick.
Now, summon the four spirit angels. Call to Uriel to the North, Raphael in the East, Michael in the South, and Gabrield angels of miracles, ij the West
When you can feel the Spirit’s presence in the room, speak your request from the heart, and ask for their help on behalf of someone else. Make sure your request is sincere and heartfelt, and it will be heard.
Items You Need:
White candle
Red candle
Black candle
The Spell:
Imagine a blue ball of energy inside the candles. Caress the candles as you chant:
“Goddess of Three, I call upon thee,
To protect from those who wish to harm me
Keep them from using the gift from thee
Keep them from using thy gift to harm me.”
When you finish chanting, imagine the blue ball exploding into lines of blue.
Imagine the lines surrounding you and wrapping you in warm blue energy.
See the blue light as a shield. Know that it is unbreakable.
Think about how it is the Goddess’ Light protecting you. Then put the candles someplace where they can burn undisturbed and let them burn themselves
out, sending all the energy into your shield. This spell is best performed during the full moon. For longer effects you can make it a seven-day spell.
Goal: To increase psychic abilities.
Items Needed:
Purple candle Piece of amethyst.Be careful what you ask for-psychic abilities can be a mixed blessing. If you want to work on expanding yours, go slowly and don’t forget to use protective shields. A good familiar can help ground you while you do psychic work if you ask nicely. This spell was originally published in, “Circle, Coven & Grove: A Year of Magickal Practice,” as “Spell to Open the Inner Eye.”
Perform this spell under the full moon–outside, if possible. Light the candle and hold the amethyst up to your third eye (between your eyebrows and up a bit).
“Moon, moon, burning bright Help me hone my inner sight Make my vision clear and true Show me what I need to do Whether cards or stones of old Show me what I need to know Guide my heart and guide my hand Help me see and understand. So Mote It Be.Try to stay open to any messages you might get through your second sight. Be particularly alert to dreams and portents.
To work this spell, gather some apple peel, dried leaves of chrysanthemum, and rosemary. You’ll also need one white feather. Cast the peel, chrysanthemum leaves, and rosemary into the flames and say:
“Life and death,
Fire’s breath,
Flames crackle and flare,
Let me see
A face, a name, or sign upon the air.
Smoke gray, smoke white,
Let me see my future this night.”
With the feather, fan the smoke gently, letting it curl about you. Gaze at the fire and smoke for as long as you wish, looking for signs. Leave the fire to burn for the rest of the evening. As a sign of gratitude, leave the feather before the hearth or on the fireplace mantel.
Purpose: To get rid of negative energy.
Items You Will Need:
A cup of salt A fresh lemon AthameLight white candles and protection incense. Anoint brow, heart and throat with oil. Put the lemon in the center of your altar and cut it into 4 slices (round).
Chant:
“All spells against me congregate in this lemon, that’s your fate.
Sour spell to sour fruit, you must go there cause it’s your suit.
Bound to this lemon evermore. Each spell against me that’s your store.
All in this lemon, now I see, and as my will so mote it be!”
When you feel that the chant has captured the negative thought forms in the lemon, begin to sprinkle the salt on the lemon.
Chant:
“Uncrossed! Uncrossed!
This salt for me breaks up the attacking energy.
As lemon dries in salt and air,
I’m freed from harm and all despair.
Uncrossed and happy now, you see!
And as my will so mote it be!!!”
Use lots of salt and when you are finished, thank all the elements.
Leave the lemon near your altar where you can watch it.
If it dries out, your work is done. If it should mildew, repeat the ritual.
A Winter Night’s Blessing
While preparing your bed, read this blessing aloud as part of your nightly prayers.
“When the nights are dark and stormy,
and things become hard to see,
Dear God and Goddess
Help to keep the light within me glowing,
So that no matter which way the wind’s blowing.
I am on the path I should be:
I am one of the blessed,
Who seek complete union with the divine,
I am one of the shining ones,
Whose light continues to brighten the night,
In the name of the Lord and Lady, Blessed Be!
As you shift to sleep, imagine that you are a candle the Goddess has lit. Imagine your light burning bright and shining like a star in the night sky. Every night, your light grows brighter and brighter and your life becomes filled with the joy of divine love.
PURIFICATION OF SELF SPELL
The purification of self is a way to remove the accumulation of all negative things that happened during the day and to prepare for the work to come. Before ritual work, you have
to change your frame of mind from the everyday mundane world. Here are a couple of ways to do this.
Incense:
You may use incense in the common stick form or in what is called a smudge stick. This is a small bundle of incense. The incense is lit and is passed around the body, but not too close to the hair (fire hazard). As you pass the incense around your body, concentrate on the smoke passing through you. Invision all the negativity and the excess baggage of the day leaving you as the smoke rises around you. When you feel cleansed, put out the incense. You will need a container to put out the smudge stick. A terra cotta saucer filled with sand is ideal.
Ritual Baths:
A ritual bath is a great way to shed the day and concentrate on the ritual to come.
Supplies:
–White candles, for Spirituality and Higher Self, Salt, Herb or Herbs for Purification, Candle Snuffer.
Run a bath of very warm water. As the water is running light the white candles. Use as many as you wish. Three is an appropriate number as it represents the three aspects of the Goddess. As you light a candle think or recite aloud: “I light this candle in truth and peace”.
Repeat with each candle.
While the water is running, add a small amount of salt into the water, then add the herb or herbs of your choice. Step into the water and slowly sink down into the tub. Relax and feel the water covering your body. Let the day and all negativity be drawn into the water. Concentrate on letting go and moving to the positive. Wash slowly. Turn the bath into its own ritual. Think or say aloud :
” All negativity is flowing out of me into the water. I am pure for the work to come.”
Dry yourself slowly, deliberately. As you snuff out the candles, think or say aloud: “I leave this bath in truth and peace.” You are now ready for the ritual to come.
In many countries, it is considered unlucky to point directly at the moon, but if you curtsey or bow to the moon, it will draw gifts and favors to you during the next moon cycle.
Use a lapis dream charm or a tumbled piece of clear quartz for this spell. Once the moon rises, go outdoors or stand where you can see the moon clearly, and bow(men) or curtsey(women) to the moon nine times. Each time you bow or curtsey, repeat:
“I curtsey(bow) to the Mother, I curtsey(bow) to the moon, please bring me abundance and bring it soon!”
Now hold the stone in your receiving hand as you say this prayer:
“Dear Goddess and God of the moon and stars Please hear my prayer tonight Grace me with your divine presence So that I may dream of joyful abundance. And help me to remember my dreams When I awaken once again Help me to interpret my dream messages So that I may know their deeper meanings Thank you, divine Lady and Lord, blessed be!”Bow or curtsey to the moon three times. Each time you bow or curtsey, repeat:
“I curtsey(bow) to the Mother, I (curtsey)bow to the moon, please bring me abundance and bring it soon!”
When you go indoors slip the stone inside your pillowcase or put it next to your bedside as you sleep. As you drift to sleep, repeat to yourself:
“I clearly remember my dreams when I wake up and easily understand the dream messages.”
When you awaken, hold the stone in your receiving hand as you write down everything you recall from your dreams in your journal. Continue doing this until you draw abundance to you.
After dark, go outdoors and look straight at the new moon. Then go indoors and put on some upbeat Celtic music.
You will need a green candle, a bowl filled with soil, a pinch of dried thyme, a pinch of dried nutmeg, five small stones from nature and a half cup warm milk with three teaspoons of honey mixed in.
Draw a sacred circle. Now draw a second circle of forest-green light on top of the first circle. Light the candle, dedicating it to the elves and faeries.
Put the bowl of soil in the center of the altar. Cover the top of the soil with the pinches of thyme and nutmeg. As you do this, say three times:
Faery spice, blessings thrice.Position the stones in a star, pentacle pattern around the bowl. Now take a few deep breaths to center your awareness. Imagine descending a long natural rock stairway into the earth. At the end of the stairs is a circular doorway. Now open your eyes for a few moments and take the cup of milk from the altar. Pour the milk and honey over the earth and thyme in the bowl as you say:
To the woods and wild land, With a faery band in hand. Mind and spirit, now set free, Open the faery door, so mote it be!Once again, close your eyes and see the circular doorway in your mind’s eye. See and sense yourself opening the door and stepping into the magickal world of the faeries. Allow the candle to safely burn down. Let the music continue playing as you drift to sleep. If you dream of the elves and faeries, your wishes will all come true.
In the morning pull up the circle, and take the earth and stones, putting them in a sunwise circle around a plant while whistling or humming a little tune. When you are done, be sure to thank the faeries.
A circle of light or a physical circle can be strengthened by casting three elemental circles just inside it.
Some practitioners aim to put the triple circle on top of the light one but I prefer radiating circles, albeit close together.
If using empowered salt and water as one of your elemental circles, you would empower the mix first before the elemental casting.
The three clockwise circles, either positioned one over the other or extending inwards, should be made with salt and water, or just salt (the first), with incense (the second) and with the directional candle of the south or a central one (the third). If you use salt for circle one (and not the salt and water mix), use incense for number two and magical water droplets for the third circle.
Create simple elemental casting chants according to the substances you are using and the nature of the spell or ritual.
*Note* With a group, before the triple circle casting invite them to walk the triple circle in line after you as you cast it. You can use three people to make the triple circle by having them each carry a substance around it. You need not use words for this unless you wish. With a group it is easier to make the three circles over one another just inside the original light circle.
You can end the triple element casting by sprinkling each person with a few drops of either the saltwater or the water alone saying:
You are Blessed!
If you are working alone, end the triple circle casting by taking the water and sprinkling yourself, saying:
May the Lord and Lady God and Goddess bless me and my spell/ritual.
