Rhyming Invocations to the Elements

Soft scented stillness that warns of the storm
Whisper of wisdom full living and warm
Breathe into us wonder at all we may know
Welcome, wise wind, from wherever you blow.

 

Bright spark of courage, blaze of desire
The passion for change is a wild, raging fire
Kindled by will, it burns in our veins
Welcome within us, our hearts are your flames

 

Power of water, power to feel
Rising within us, ancient and real
Soothed into softness or tossed to extremes
Welcome, wild waves from the depths of our dreams

 

Mother in waiting, child in the womb
Newly strung thread waits the night on the loom
Earth that we come from, Earth where we go
Welcome, as you welcomed us long ago.

The Witches Magick for Thursday, March 8th – Triumph over Trauma Spell

Spring Fairy On A Swing

The Witches Magick for Thursday, March 8th – Triumph over Trauma Spell

TRIUMPH over TRAUMA

Some people require professional help to overcome past traumatic events. If you feel up to it, this gentle meditation might support your healing.

 

If you were making a talisman, you would use Agrimony to repel negative emotions and Wormwood to banish anger. If you can’t find either one as oil or incense, you may use Lavender instead. A small twig from an Ash tree also helps to remove unwanted energies. Your touch stones, which you will use during the spell and as a reminder afterwards, is Danburite for release from the past and Carnelian to overcome past abuse

 

QUICK SPELL

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you will not be disturbed. You will need the following items: one white candle, oil and/ or incense, ash twig and touch stones.

 

If you’re using oil, anoint your forehead. Light the candle and the incense and sit silently for a few moments while holding the stone. Close your eyes and ask for the energy of the dark moon to guide your meditation. When you feel the time is right, say the following affirmation:

 

Let a new door open to a better world, for this is what I truly deserve. So mote it be.

 

Hold the touch stone, (and Ash if you have it), close your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly. See yourself standing in front of a black door, holding the touch stones and the ash twig for protection. Behind it is the trauma from your past. Open the door slowly and look inside. If it’s not too painful, try to step inside and recall the incident that traumatized you, or at least a tiny portion of it. Know that you are safe, you can always walk out through the door whenever you choose.

 

Stay as long as you are comfortable, at least until the image starts to fade and the painful feelings begin to subside. Then step back and close the door. You will notice that the door is now white, a clean slate with no bad memories. Open it once again and see that the negative issue has faded into nothingness.

 

When you are ready, extinguish the candle and give thanks for your blessings and your new sense of peace and relief.

 

AFTER THE QUICK SPELL OR CEREMONY

Now, any time you feel the pain of past traumas creeping up on you, remember the white door visualization. Hold the touch stones and recall the affirmation. These actions will create a positive and lasting link in your mind.

 

You can cleanse and recharge your touch stone during full moons and Wheel of the Year festivals. Blessed be!

Witches Herbal Cleansing Spell

Witches Herbal Cleansing Spell

 

To make an herbal cleansing bottle, pour a layer of sand in a large clear bottle. Add layers of dried herbs, one at a time: first rosemary; then lemon peel, sage, cedar, black peppercorns, lavender, dill, bay leaf, and rowan. When the bottle is full, focus cleansing protective energy into the herbs and sand, and see a golden light radiating from the bottle.

Visualize the herbs driving away negative influences. Cork and seal the bottle with white wax. Using a permanent marker, draw the Algiz rune on one side of the bottle, and on the other side draw a pentagram.

Set the bottle near your front or back door, and every six months, uncap, pour herbs out into the woods or your compost heap, and thoroughly wash and dry the bottle before filling it with a new round of herbs.

Cutting the Cord Spell

Cutting the Cord Spell

When one has been involved (either Emotionally, Physically or Spiritually) with another person it can create an ‘Etheric Link’ that resembles a red cord binding between you. When the friendship or relationship ends it is often difficult to move on, as you are still linked to this person. The Cutting of the Cord Spell is ideal in dissolving the bonds between people allowing them to move on. 


You Will Need: 

–2 Red Candles, Length of Red Cord
–A photograph of you and your friend or ex (or a picture to represent you both drawn)
–A pair of scissors. 


Preparation: Bathe & Cleanse yourself before starting, set out materials, and Cast a Basic Magickal Circle. 


The Spell 


Mark the first Candle with your name and the second Candle with the other person’s name. Charge the Candles with Anointing Oil, starting from the center moving outwards (sending energy out), seeing the person named on the Candle as you anoint it. Take the first Candle in your hand hold it over your Altar Candle visualizing it being Charged with energy to do your bidding, then present the Candle to the Altar saying: 


As the Goddess gave form and substance to our spirits, 
I give form and substance to this candle, 
As She named us Her children, 
I name this Candle as (insert name). 
As this Candle is wax and wick, 
So it is also flesh and blood, So Mote it be! 


Repeat with second Candle. 


Sit in meditation and think of the joy this person brought you, picture your favorite memory. Visualize the link between your hearts as a thick red cord joining you from heart Chakra to heart Chakra. Tie an end of the cord to each candle, joining you together, as you are joined in spirit. Place the photo or picture over the center of the cord saying: 

As the Goddess links us in Spirit, I link these forms together, As above, so below, As within, so without! 

Again sit in meditation, and think of the reasons you want to cut all ties to this person, think about the events that have lead up to this decision. Face any doubts that you may have and see them for what they are, fear. Know in your heart that the Goddess wants only the best for you and She wants you to want the best for yourself. When you are ready visualize yourself telling the other that it is over and that you are moving on, then see yourself turn and walk away – not looking back! 


Cut through the Cord that binds you to each other (as well as through the picture symbolizing your togetherness) and say: 


By my free will, with harm to none, 
I sever the cord that binds me to (insert name), 
As we once chose to share the road we walked, 
Now we choose to walk a different path, 
Although we still journey to the same destination, 
No longer do our steps move in time you are no longer my friend (or 
lover), I release the (insert name) from all ties to me 
As I am released from thee, As I do will, so mote it be! 


Take the candle, 1/2 the cord and 1/2 the picture (the part representing your ex) 
in a heatproof bowl, tip a little ‘goodwill incense’ over it all, with a little mentholated spirits, then as you light it say: 


As this smoke rises and drifts away, 
So do all my bonds to you… So mote it be! 


Place ‘your’ candle on your Altar to burn when you find yourself wishing ‘what if’. 
Clean up and Close Circle, then bury everything else except your candle. 

Spell for Breaking a Binding Spell

Spell for Breaking a Binding Spell

Some binding spells can cause physical manifestations. You feel as if invisible strands of hair or thin strings are wrapped around you. You can’t see them but you can feel them and nothing you do can make that sensation stop. Here is a way to dispel a binding. 


Cut a bit of your own hair and set it in a small bowl. Light 3 candles, 1 red, 1 white and 1 green. In a fire safe bowl or incense brazier, light a piece of charcoal and add some myrrh, patchouli and sandalwood incense (powdered kind not cone or stick). Take a sterile needle or pin and prick your right index finger.


Squeeze three drops of blood into the smoldering incense. As you drop the hair onto the lit incense repeat these words: 


With blood, candle and scent times three 
No longer shall this binding be 
Free to live and free to soar 
Let me leave the house once more. 
As I burn this hair, a part of me 
Let my heart and soul be free! 
And for those who doth cast despair 
Binding me with sightless hair 
I send to them this well-earned curse 
Let their evil spell reverse! 
Teach them mercy and love’s sweet gift 
Once learned, this simple spell shall lift. 
As is my will, so mote it be! 


Let the incense burn out and scatter the ashes outside. Lifting the binding spell should take care of the problem. Keep an eye on those around you.
Someone who wished you ill will start to experience the torment they put you through. Once they understand that what they did was wrong, then the sensation will fade and they will be back to normal. 

Spell for Breaking a Love Curse

Spell for Breaking a Love Curse

If you think you have been cursed, and that is why you are unlucky in love, you need to make a supplication to Aphrodite, asking her to intervene. This supplication should be done on a Thursday evening at dusk.


Light 1 purple candle and 1 pink one. Burn 7 pine needles in a bowl or brazier. Offer the goddess three red roses, 1 for each stage of a woman’s life (Maiden, Mother and Crone). Then ask her to bless you in love and to break any curse that may exist. Pour your heart out to her. Ask forgiveness for any and every thing you have ever done to hurt another who loved you. Offer to make amends by doing something in Aphrodite’s name. 


Make a commitment to showering your future partners with love and romance. Vow never to be unfaithful, etc. Be respectful when addressing Aphrodite and be honest. Do not make empty promises or break the ones you make. If you say you will do something, do it. If you do not, you may not like the result.

There is no spell for this one, no incantation. You simply speak from the heart and if you are sincere, she will answer. Aphrodite can be a generous, loving goddess, guiding us towards bliss. Or she can be a vengeful harridan. 

Be warned, if the reason you are “unlucky” is because you have been unfaithful, abusive, cruel, or otherwise wasteful of Love’s gifts, you will face her wrath unless you agree to immediately change your ways, and then do so. 

Spell to Break the Powers of a Spell

Spell to Break the Powers of a Spell

You Need:

Black candle

Water

Black bowl 


Place the candle into the black bowl, fix the candle to the bowl using the wax drippings from the candle so that it stands alone. Fill the bowl to the rim with fresh water, without wetting the wick. Breathe deeply and meditate for a few minutes. When your mind is clear, light the candle. Visualize the power the spell cast against you as living within the candles flame. 


As the candle burns down, it will sputter and go out as it touches the water. As it is extinguished by the water, the spell is broken. Finally, dig a hole into the ground, pour the water into it, then bury the candle. 

A Pagan Blessing for the Dead

purple celtic cross

A Pagan Blessing for the Dead

Choose four participants. One carries a rock, representing the earth, and stands to the North. One carries a feather, representing Air, and stands to the East. Another stands to the South, carrying a candle or some incense to represent Fire. A fourth can hold a cup of Water to the West — if you’re fortunate enough to hold your ritual near an ocean or river, use that to represent Water. On your altar, in the center of the circle, place a picture or some other memento of the person you are saying goodbye to.

 

Form a circle, and call upon the elements. Invite the powers of the four directions to come watch over you. Stand in the center and say:

 

Take me now, take me now
for to face the Summerlands*.
By the earth and wind and the fire and rain
I’m on my way,remember me.

 

Turn to the North and say:

 

Take me now back to the earth
from which we spring and then return.
I shall cross over, now it is my turn.
I am not afraid Remember me.

 

Repeat this verse, turning to each of the four directions. Substitute the different elements where appropriate.

 

Finally, touch each family member with your athame as you say the following:

 

Blood of my blood
Bone of my bone
Flesh of my flesh
Keep my soul alive
I will live on
Within your hearts
I am not afraid
Remember me

 

If you have ashes for the deceased, you may wish to scatter them at this time. Take a moment to reflect on the good memories you have of your departed friend or family member.

 

*If your particular tradition believes we go to some other place after death, feel free to substitute the appropriate place name for “Summerlands.” If you’re not sure where we end up, you can simply say “the other side.”

Witchy Comments & Graphics

A MAGIC REQUEST TO THE LADY FOR STRONGER POWER

Lady Moon has spread her fingers of night over my patch of reality,
And she watches me as I stand beneath her encompassing gaze
Away from those who would cloud my vision.
Her sister stars glitter through the sky and sing for the night.
Mother, please fill me with your beauty and reveal to me the mysteries of your silent domain.
My heart holds naught but love for you,
My soul wishes to sing in harmony with its sisters within your embrace.
In love and respect I come before you
And I ask to be blessed with the power of Lady Moon.

Whenever tension seems to build, repeat the above chant 3 times and envision peace
and tranquility radiating from the pouch and The Goddess.

PEACE RITUAL

Design this ritual to suit your needs.

Choose candle colors that represent the things you seek peace for
(e.g., maybe green and brown for peace on earth).

“From out of the dark and into the light
A circular mark, a candle burns bright.
I look towards the sky…my song do I sing.
Spirits soar high and gifts do I bring.
I offer my all! My mind, I then clear
Hearken my call! I feel you are near!
Candle burns higher; my spirits set free!
Hotter than fire, this magic will be!
Let magic come ’round, from under the ground,
To form with my sound and then, to be bound!
Around me I feel the magic so real,
Before you I kneel.. the spell I now seal!
Let all hatred CEASE! And let there be PEACE!
These words that I say, with magick AWAY!
This spell that I send is now at an end.
Let the magick I’ve laid, go forth and not fade!
SO MOTE IT BE!”

Reverse Negative Magick Binding Spell


Witchy Comments & Graphics

REVERSE NEGATIVE MAGICK BINDING SPELL

This spell should be cast when someone is using negative magick against you.


Before rushing into this process, make sure that you know that you are being attacked magickally
and by who. This should be checked through magick, divination and meditation. 


Once you are positive that a certain person is using negative magick against you, begin the spell.


Materials Needed: 


Spool of black ribbon

Poppet of the person you intend to bind 

Black pouch made of a tough material such as leather

Black candle 

Chalice of water (rain or river water is best) 

Coal, granite or some other powerful stone associated with the element of earth 

Musk incense & Censer 


Time: Waning moon, noon 


Procedure: 


Place the rock, water, incense, and candle around you to form the points of a square.
(Rock being diagonal to incense and water being diagonal to candle). Now sit under the
stars and meditate on the impact that this persons negative magick has had on your life. 


Once you have all of the negative recourse in your mind, hold the poppet in you receptive
hand, and slowly, starting at the feet, wrap the poppet in black ribbon, as if it were a mummy.
Be sure to leave no spot exposed. As you wrap, chat the following or similar: 


“With (name’s) own evil does s/he her/himself bind, 
his/her magick powers s/he shall not find!” 


As you chant and wrap, visualize all the negativity from the Magick that this person has cast
flowing into the ribbon that binds the poppet. Once the poppet is totally wrapped, place it in
the pouch and draw it shut. Now proclaim in a loud voice: 


“(name) has been bound in the presence of the elements and the gods. 
May s/he remain as such until this poppet again sees the light of day. So mote it be!” 


Store the pouch with the bound poppet in a dark place. When you decide to un-bind it, take
the pouch into the noon sun of the waxing moon and unwrap the poppet. Visualize the
negativity tied in the ribbon disintegrating in the light of the sun. Say the following or similar: 


“(name) is now unbound; a creature of free will in Magick and in heart. Blessed be!” 

Poppet Spell to Bind an Enemy


Witchy Comments & Graphics

POPPET SPELL TO BIND AN ENEMY

Make a poppet to represent the person you wish to bind.
Burn patchouli leaves and frankincense on a charcoal block.
Light a black candle and pass the poppet through the incense smoke saying:


“Hecate, great Goddess of life and death, 
I ask you to acknowledge that this Creation of cloth be known as Flesh and blood of (name).”


Wrap the poppet tightly in red ribbon, paying close attention to the area you wish to
bind i.e.: the genitals of a rapist, the mouth of a slanderer. As you wrap, say: 


“Between the worlds in Hecate’s eyes you (name) 
Are bound powerless. In the eyes of this world You are harmless.” 


Imagine a heavy net made from a white light. Imagine the net clinging to the poppet.
Wrap it in a piece of white cloth and bury it close to the person’s house.
