Funeral Cleansing Spell

Once upon a time, the first magick spell one encountered, immediately after birth, was an enchanted cleansing bath. One’s final Earthly magickal activity (at least in this body) was similarly a magickal bath.  Just as childbirth  rituals frequently incorporate cleansing spells (specifically, cleansing baths), so last rites usually incorporated a magickal spiritual cleansing bath. The body is bathed, typically with spiritually cleansing, protective materials. Incense may also be burnt for cleanse and comfort.

Psychic Replenishment Bath

This bath utilizes the following herbs:

Rosemary

Melissa (lemon balm)

Spearmint

These may be used in varying forms:

  • Make infusions of dried or fresh herbs and add in the bath
  • Add essential oils to the bath
  • Use a combination of fresh herbs and essential oils: although all are common garden plants, Melissa (lemon balm) is a notoriously rare and expensive essential oil.

Psychic Energy Replenishment Rosemary Tea

Rosemary tea is also beneficial: it rejuvenates, invigorates and enhances psychic ability, especially in times of physical exhaustion.

Make a strong infusion by pouring boiling water over fresh or dried rosemary. Rosemary tastes better added to food than as a drink. To improve the taste and increase the power of the potion, add lemon balm and peppermint, and sweeten with honey, if desired.

Cat’s Eye Incense

Dammar is an Asian tree whose resin is burned as incense. Known in Germany as “cat’s eye incense,” it allegedly enhance clairvoyance psychic perception, and the ability to “see” where one could not before. Try burning dammar before psychic journeying and when extra clairvoyance is needed.

Artemisia Potion: Psychic Stimulation Tea

Many of the additional ingredients in this potion (yarrow, cloves, melissa) stimulate psychic power. Their addition also makes mugwort’s flavor palatable. Pour boiling water over the following, blended ingredients.

One tablespoon dried mugwort

One teaspoon dried melissa (lemon balm)

One teaspoon dried peppermint leaves

On teaspoon dried yarrow

One quarter teaspoon ground cinnamon

One quarter teaspoon ground cloves.

Let it steep for approximately ten minutes, then strain and drink.

Acacia Spells

The acacia tree has been associated with the sacred since the proverbial time immemorial, from the myth of Osiris to the Ark of the Covenant. Burn it as incense to stimulate and enhance psychic ability as well as to provide contact with the sacred.

34: Great Vigor

Friday, January 14th, 2011

Hexagram 34
General Meaning: Congratulations! There is strength and vigor in this situation — like a ram who has knocked down a fence to free himself from captivity. This points to a time when a powerful force comes into its own and achieves influence.

When a leader finally comes into power, his or her personal strength usually has peaked. Great strength is required in climbing to the mountaintop, but once at the summit, the support of others is needed to maintain that lofty position. A shift in attitude becomes necessary. Raw strength must be tempered by wisdom; to maintain power, a strong leader must learn to give it away, to share it with others. Only then will his or her position be secure, for she will not only be the possessor of power, but the source of it as well.

If you find yourself in a high or strong position, it is especially important to act responsibly and react with care. Your personal power must not be allowed to degenerate into raw force that rides roughshod over everything in its path. A strong sense of responsibility to the collective good of all is the key to the successful exercise of strength. By following what we intuitively know to be for the greater good, we avoid reckless abuses of power that in the end undermine the source of our strength. Arrogance always contains the seeds of its own undoing.

Domination Candle Spell

Burn white candles alongside the image of the Strength card drawn from the tarot deck of your choice. (Different decks, feature different interpretations of the image. choose one that resonates for you.) Contemplate the image while the candle burns, then place the card under your pillow where it should remain until the spell is no longer needed.
