The Witches Magick for Saturday, September 2 – Triumph over Trauma
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.

The Mental Cross – Personal Protection
Posted by Mistress of the Myst
The Mental Cross
If you feel negative power coming from some man, mentally make the sign of the cross on this man. Make it three times and say, not opening the mouth:
This cross covers you,
So as will not be black idea,
Neither a bad incantation,
nor Evil Eye.
The Protection Ritual – Personal Protection
Posted by Mistress of the Myst
The Protection Ritual
In the morning, make protective ritual to be in safety all day. Take in the right hand a knife or a long needle. Stand the face to the east. Draw an imaginary cross in a circle by point of the knife in air directly before you. Imagine how your internal energy is transferred to the blade of the knife, how it escapes from the knife point (as an electrical discharge) and creates in space before you the vision of a fiery figure — the color of the flickering circle-cross should be spectral blue like burning of alcohol or gas. Necessarily feel material presence of the figure at that place where you have created it. The vision (the imagination) of this figure should be so visible that at times it seems to you that you can touch it, feel its cold flame and a density of power making it. It is very important that you will keep these sensations in future. Surround yourself with these circle-crosses on all four sides. Turn to the right, and standing face to the south, draw the second figure. Again turn to the right, draw by the knife one more cross, and circle. The fourth figure must be formed in northern space. In addition to that, draw cross and circle above you. During all day, you should feel a presence of these figures. It is not necessary to see them, enough to know that around you there is an insuperable barrier for all dark forces and negative influences.
The Child Protection – Personal Protection
Posted by Mistress of the Myst
The Child Protection
If a child is small, it is not very good to use for his (or her) protection any personal talismans which contain any magical and cabbalistic symbols. In this case, it is the best way to make “natural talismans” which will protect all baby room and a cradle.
For protection of a child from the Evil Eye, put three bay leaves in a cradle under mattress and fasten red ribbons to a cradle — the number of the ribbons should be odd. You also can put an old key under a cradle or fasten a little hand bell to it.
A bundling of swaddling clothes with the color ribbon (blue for a boy or pink for a girl) not only for appearance and increase of reliability of swaddling. First of all, it is a way of protection of a biofield of a baby. Recollect the magical circle that is necessary for protection. And here, a color ribbon also creates an isolation of space and plays the role of a protective barrier.
In order to a child was not scared with nightmares and spooks, scatter salt around a cradle so that it has formed the closed circle. Instead of a salt circle, you can surround a cradle with a white rope or draw a circle by a white chalk on a floor. Pay attention to a position of a cradle in a baby room. Very important that it stood lengthways of battens and not placed directly under a ceiling beam.
Since ancient times children’s rattles have used for deterrence of malicious spirits and phantoms.
The Double Mirror – Personal Protection
Posted by Mistress of the Myst
The Double Mirror
Obtain the custom-made round bilateral pocket mirror with 1 – 1.5 inches in diameter. Place this mirror in a small black leather pouch. Carry this amulet on a neck or in pocket near to the heart. This double mirror not only will protect you from hexes and the Evil Eye, but also from many negative emerges of natural kind.
The Rowan Cross – Personal Protection
Posted by Mistress of the Myst
The Rowan Cross
On Friday morning, pick two small twigs from rowan-tree. Lay these twigs cross-wise and tie them together with a red thread. Doing this, say the wards:
This cross for protection
Against creatures of this and other world,
Against alive and against dead,
Against their evil thoughts and malicious acts.
Attach a red lace to the rowan cross and carry this amulet on our neck.
The Safety Pin – Personal Protection
Posted by Mistress of the Myst
The Safety Pin
Obtain a safety pin. Fasten it on your clothes in the area of the heart or the solar plexus. Carry this charm secretly so that other people could not see it. Each evening unfasten the pin and pay attention on its needlepoint. If you will notice that it has changed the color, become dark blue or black, it is the signal of that on you was made a magical influence and that this influence was stopped by the needle. In this case, spit three times, one time forward and twice back — over the left and the right shoulder. After that, bury the pin in a ground. It is important bury the pin with open needle so that all accumulated in it negative energies could easily flow in the ground. Buy a new safety pin and use it in the same way. If the color of the needle for day has not changed, open the pin and leave it so overnight. In the morning, fasten it on your clothes again.
This simple, but very effective method is capable to protect from very many kinds of malevolent magic directed on a destruction of a biofield of a person and a producing of various diseases.
Spells and Incantations
Spells and Incantations
At the beginning, there was a word. And the word was magic. Yes, indeed, creation of a matter from a void, using only power of words, is a magic work.
A word is a great power. A word can kill or give a new life. In our world by means of words, states are ruled, laws are ratified, wars are begun and ended, marriage promises are made and feelings are expressed. In the real world, we can get various things by entreating favors of our patrons or demanding obedience from our subordinates. But here, we should recollect that the great ones of this world are not the main authority in the universe. There are the more high-ranking ones — the Nature Powers and Old Gods able to grant to us what we want or to take away what we already have. A direct verbal contact with these forces is the oldest kind of magic.
But, certainly, using of common words and expressions will hardly help you to have contact with a power of the universe. Here, it is necessary to use special word formulas which are named magical spells and incantations.
Incantation. This term has several different meanings. The first meaning is an entreaty or a supplication for anything in the name of someone. The second meaning is a bending in your will or a subjection of somebody or something by power of magical words.
The primary kind of incantations is a special speech that are directed to an object on that it is necessary to influence. This influence can be directed on various objects of our world or the beyond, on people, supernatural beings and natural phenomena which are personified — all they are consider as living creatures. Usually, such incantations have form of demands and commands, which are made in a dogmatically imperative tone and into them quite often there are mention of punishment in case of not carrying-out a commands. A formula or a common construction of the incantations is “I order you to make this and that…”.
The other kind of magic word formulas are imploring or beseeching incantations. In this case, magical words are directed not to object of the influence, but to an intermediary — natural forces from which a help is expected. Beseeching incantations can be directed to Old Gods, the Sun, the Moon, stars, nature elements, spirits of ancestors, spirits of house or forest in whose power to decide one or another question. Fairly often, the magical words are accompanied with symbolical sacrifices — food, wine, clothes and different things are burnt, buried, sunk or thrown before a wind as offering for the nature elements. These incantations are constructed as the two-part formula: “I give you… and you will give me”.
Magical spells are “placing of words on” or “uttering on” — magical words are uttered directly on a thing so that a breath touch its surface. In essence, it is a direct transmission of a magical power to an object. Usually, spells are uttered on salt, sugar, food, water, ground, and on things belonging to a person on who it is necessary to influence.
There are spells a basis of which is a comparison or a likening of two objects or events — actual and wishful. A common construction of such spells is “As… so” or “When… then”. Often, a realization of wishful events is compared and connected with time of beginning and ending of various natural phenomena. For example, “When all leaves will have fallen from this tree, the illness will have gone off”. In that way, a natural force responsible for one process is called for help in another affair. Spells of this kind are usually said at time of an action that are similar to one that is wanted to cause — they as if describe and explain an inside meaning of the imitating actions. For example, a wizard lights a candle and says, “I light not a candle. I kindle love. As the flame is hot, so the love will be ardent”.
Also, spells can be uttered without any actions at all. In this case, spells are considered as a substitution of a real action by its description. Anyway, a casting of any spell must necessarily be accompanied by a mental visualization — you must mentally see what you speak and what consequences your words will be have.
So, the power of magic word is boundless: it can control natural elements, prevent or evoke a thunder, a storm, a rains, and a hail, give bumper crop or sterility, increase herds or extirpate them by a plague, grant a happiness, a health, a success to people or distress them, heal a sick man or send illnesses to healthy one, inflame love in heart or cool a passion, inspire a mercy, a gentleness, or an anger and a grudge, give an accuracy to weapon and make a soldier invulnerable to bullets, arrows, and swords, cure wounds and stop blood, turn people into animals, trees, or stones — in short, a magic word can influence on events, change essence of things, subjugate beneficial and malicious forces of the nature to a will of a witch or a wizard.
The Witches Spell for Thursday, July 6th – The Needle of Protection
Posted by Mistress of the Myst
The Needle of Protection
On Friday after midday, buy a sewing needle, a reel of white thread and white salt. Having made all these purchases and going home, don’t greet and don’t talk with anybody. You should keep full silence until finish all magical work! Having come back home, fill a glass on half with cold water, add to water three spoons of salt and cut off from the reel about yard of the white thread. Put this thread into the glass with salty water and make the three sign of the cross over it. When the thread has become wet, get it from water and to thread the needle. Tie together the ends of the thread with a triple knot. Take the needle in the right hand, touch a jamb of a front door with the needlepoint and move it so along all length of the jamb.
Start this movement on a side of the top door hinge. If the hinge at the left side of the door, move from left to right, then downward, from right to left and upward to the same hinge. If the hinge at the right side of the door, move the needle downward, from right to left, then upward and from left to right. All time the needlepoint touches the hinge with light press. Having finished this action, stick the needle in the top corner of the doorjamb above the hinge, and say:
The needle as a steel lance,
Stab up all enemies and foes, Ward off all disasters.
Thus you receive “lightning conductor” for neutralization of directed on you and on your home negative energy. This protection works approximately one year, after the expiration of it, you must replace the needle and the thread. Uttering the protective incantation, cautiously remove the needle from the jamb:
Black to black, white to white,
Dead to dead, and alive to alive.
At once after that, go to a lonely place, and bury the needle with the thread in a ground. If you suspect that on you and on your family are constantly directed various nocuous influences, replace the needle more often — once a month or once a week. But in all case do it on Friday evening.
A Thought for Today
Blessed be dear ones.

The Witches Spell for Friday, June 23rd – Attract A Specific Person Love Ritual
Attract A Specific Person Love Ritual
This is not a spell to attract a specific person, it is intended to attract a person who will be compatible. You will need a teaspoon or so each of the following herbs:
Basil herb,
Cardamom pods,
Marjoram herb,
whole Cloves,
Rose petals,
a Tonka bean.
If you cannot easily obtain the Tonka bean you may do without it. You will need some
red, natural fiber,
fabric – a quarter yard will be enough,
a needle and thread.
Cut two squares out of the fabric.
A small piece of rose quartz and/or lepidolite is an optional, but desirable ingredient.
Place your materials on the altar.
You should have a love incense and if possible, a piece of rose quartz on the altar for this spell.
After the circle is cast and the love incense lit, place the two squares of fabric, right sides together, and sew around three sides of the square. As you are doing this, visualize yourself as a lovable and loving person, in a relationship that is fulfilling and happy. When you are done sewing, place the squares on the altar and state the purpose of the spell aloud in your own words. Something like:
“I seek to have a love in my life, someone special with whom to share the wonders of life, to grow with and learn with, someone to know well and be known by, my ideal partner.”
Take up the fabric square and turn it right side out. Spoon the herbs into the bag one at a time saying aloud the appropriate line as you add each one:
“Basil, sacred herb of Mars,
I call upon your powers to bring to me the love I seek.
Cardamom, sacred herb of Venus,
I call upon your powers to bring to me the love I seek.
Marjoram, sacred herb of Mercury,
I call upon your powers to bring to me the love I seek.
Cloves, sacred herb of Jupiter,
I call upon your powers to bring to me the love I seek.
Rose, sacred herb of Venus,
I call upon your powers to bring to me the love I seek.
Tonka, sacred herb of Venus, I call upon your powers to bring to me the love I seek.”
If you are using the rose quartz say the following as you add it to the bag:
“Rose Quartz, stone of peace and love,
I call upon you lend your powers to my quest,
assist me in finding the love I seek,
open my heart that I may be ready to love
and open my eyes that I may see it for what it is.”
Take up the needle and thread and sew up the last side of the bag. As you do so, visualize the fruition of the spell, you are in a loving relationship of two equals that is fulfilling and happy. When you finish, form the vision as clearly as possible in your mind, feel the love surrounding you and wrapping you in a pink mist, sense the warmth. Holding the bag in your projective hand (the one you write with), visualize and feel the energy in the form of the pink mist flowing from you into the bag. As you will the energy into it, say:
“I invest this amulet of love with the power of my vision,
the power of Venus and Aphrodite,
the power of the herbs (and crystal) within it.
It will bring me the love I desire and make me ready to receive it.
As I will, so mote it be!”
It is done.
Dismiss the circle and carry the amulet bag with you at all times

Let’s Talk Witch – Basics of Love Magic
Let’s Talk Witch – Basics of Love Magic
In some circles of the Pagan community, magical workings pertaining to love are frowned upon. The rationale is that to do any magic related to love is to interfere with the free will of someone else. However, there are many traditions that believe love magic is perfectly acceptable to perform, either generally (as in, “bring love my way”) or specifically (as in, “Brad is gonna fall head over heels in love with me”). If you’re of the opinion that love-oriented workings fall within your scope of ethics, here’s some information on traditional love magic.
Love Poppets
In some forms of European folk magic, there are a number of ways to bring love your way. One of the most well-known (and easiest) is through the use of a poppet, or magical doll. You can approach this in a couple of different ways:
Create a poppet that represents yourself, and use it to draw love to you
Create a poppet that represents the object of your affection, if your tradition permits you to do so, and use it to compel the person to see you as someone worthy of love
Create a poppet for yourself and a poppet for the person you wish to be with, and do a working that brings the two of them together
Remember, if your beliefs prohibit you from doing love magic on other people, the first option may be the best one for you.

Circles, Why Use Them?
Circles, Why Use Them?
They say that the longest journey begins with a single step. So, too, the exploration of Magickal studies begins with a single step. Though the first step in a physical journey is often self-evident, the First Step on a Magickal journey is often not quite so clear. While formally organized groups often have a path of lessons to instruct newcomers, the solitary or isolated student is often left standing in perplexity on this broad plain of knowledge, wondering just where in the heck to begin. And wondering, too, if it’s “okay” to start just anywhere.
While it’s true that studies can begin in any direction that attracts you, the necessary first step must be learning to make psychic shields. There are “Things of the Dark” out there. There are any number of explanations for what these things might be– ghosts, demons, or simply uncontrolled urges of the subconscious mind. In truth, it doesn’t matter what they are. What does matter is that their effect is very real and unless they are put under your control, they will drag you over the borders of sanity into psychosis. You are most vulnerable to them while you’re in an “open” trance or meditative state. That’s why the wise practitioner always begins by taking steps to define exactly what will be permitted through the portals of their psychic shields– no matter how simple the ritual. And this, in a nutshell, is what “protective magic” is about.
There are a number of ways to do this. The most common is to begin by drawing a circle (around a group or yourself) and invoking the one or more protective powers. Generally, this is done by candlelight, in front of an altar that holds certain magical objects. The circle may be further “secured” and “cleared” by using salt, salt water, rum, incense, or some other method. You may be wearing a special robe and will have taken a bath ( or performed a cleansing ritual) earlier. The powers that protect you will be called on and THEN you will begin your ritual.
Is it psychological? Absolutely! Is there a reason why protection rituals always take this form? Positively! Let’s take a step back and see what you’re actually doing and how the process works– from a psychological standpoint– and how to use this knowledge to help you refine your circles to enhance your rituals.
Psychologists and psychics alike view the mind’s structure as a three-part entity: The ego (that which you think of as yourself), the superego (the “higher self”) and the Id (the child within). The Id is, in a sense, a computer. Like most computers, it operates on the “garbage in-garbage out” principle. There’s an old superstition “as you name something, so will it become.” Tell yourself that you’re very unlucky and your id will obligingly give you bad days by enhancing any negatives in your environment. Tell yourself that you are clumsy, and your id-computer will obligingly arrange for you to break a leg while stepping off the sidewalk. The bad news is that the Id can’t make a judgement as to whether or not this is a good idea. It only knows that it’s received these “instructions” and must carry them out. The good news is that you can actually program/reprogram this portion of your mind.
You begin programming this Internal Servant of yours by first drawing its attention to what you want done and then explaining what you need done in a simple and clear manner. Repeating the instructions in a chant help fix the goals for the Id– rhymed chants seem to be easier for it to process. Each time you perform the ritual and repeat the chant, the programming is strengthened. Never mind that your ego and superego understand that you’re going to program the child-like Id. It works just the same.
To direct the Id’s attention to the process, you first have to impress it. Using special tools and clothing alert it that something unusual is going on and that it must pay attention. Acquiring hard-to-obtain items, drawing symbols, performing a symbolic sacrifice (donating money, say, to a good cause) are all ways of reinforcing the Id’s impression that this ceremony is very special and that the result will be very powerful. Organized, meaningful symbols, speak to your subconscious mind in ways it understands, reinforcing the goals you have set.
Drawing the circle itself establishes boundaries within your environment (“The rest of the world can do what it likes Out There. All within this circle is in MY control”). Purifying the circle and consecrating it (sprinkling water which has been blessed and salt added) further enforce your territory, defining the borders where you are “safe”. Nothing can enter this area except what you invite inside. You further tighten these borders by calling on certain Powers.
You can call on any powers you like. Some use traditional Christian images. Others call up deities from the religion they are most comfortable with. And many people use the thought/image of a beam of light that represents either God/Goddess (whichever one they like) OR The power of light and life and goodness in the Universe.
The number of powers called as guardians varies. You may choose to invoke one powerful being to protect your circle. Or you might call on the Universal Being/Light AND four guardians (one for each quarter of the compass). A third approach is to use a guardian for the four quarters of the compass and no higher being. There is no “absolutely correct” system; the correct system is the one that YOU are comfortable with.
Take time to choose the guardians of your circle carefully. You should select guardians (gods or animals or some form of life) which have a deeper meaning to you and whose qualities are in harmony with your goals. For the new student, it’s best to have all your Powers and Guardians from the same belief system/religion/mythic universe so that the symbols will be consistent and not confuse the Id.
You CAN use people– saints, movie actors, figures from favorite books as guardians. DO, however, pick someone who’s dead or non-existent. The dead can’t argue with your interpretation of them, whereas the living may be highly offended to be approached as gods/ guardians).
As your studies continue, you will find that your totems or guardians change. This is to be expected; as you explore new realms in your studies, you may find you need guardians who deal with very specific areas to strengthen and guide you in these new fields.
But don’t make the mistake of assuming that you’ll become so powerful that you will never need the protection of the psychic shielding circle in some form. And don’t assume that you will not need a circle for “positive” magicks such as healing. Open is open– and open is vulnerable. And circles strengthen and protect you by defining what psychological influences will be allowed to work with you.

The Witches Magick for June 7th – Binding Spell for General Use
Binding Spell for General Use
You’ll need:
A piece of lightweight cardboard
Writing/drawing utensils
Black yarn
A fireplace, bonfire, cauldron, or other safe place to burn the cardboard
Cast a strong protective circle around yourself and all participants before you begin.
Take a piece of light-weight cardboard and draw images and write words on it to represent the evils that you wish to bind. For example, draw a man with an X crossing out his heart to show it is closed, write words like “Greed”, “Irresponsibility”, “Disrespect”, etc. Then crumple the cardboard up into a loose ball.
Take a piece of black yarn and wind it around the cardboard twenty one times. With each time you loop the string around the cardboard, say one line of the following chant…
With the thread of the crimes
of your own design
I bind your evil
Three times seven times.
I bind you from Behind
I bind you from Before
That you’ll hurt my people
never ever more
I bind you from the Left
I bind you from the Right
I bind you by Day
And I bind you by Night.
I bind you from Below
I bind you from Above
That you may ever know
The laws of Life and Love
I bind you with your own
Good conscience Within
And so let this magic
Unfold
And spin….
Tie off the ends of the yarn with three sturdy knots to seal the spell. When done with this, burn the wrapped images and words in a loud, strong, crackling fire. Chant these words until it is thoroughly burned:
Goddess of darkest night
Send our troubles all to flight
Burn them in thy sacred fires
And replace them with our hearts’ desires!
Once the image is burned and all negativity removed, do a positive visualization to replace it. For example, visualize people laughing and dancing in rainbows, etc.

Attach the label to the glass bottle and finish up by threading the metal charm onto the ribbon and then tying the red or black ribbon around the neck of the bottle.
As you finish tying on the bow, hold the bottle in your hands and concentrate on the visualization that your aura is pulsing a deep red, filled with vitality, courage and protection. See it in your mind’s eye and feel it all over your body. Now send all that energy straight into the bottle you hold in your hands. Take a deep breath, hold it for three counts, and then blow it out slowly. Now, repeat the charm below:
Basil, holly, and ginger are associated with Mars
Tap into a warrior’s energy and you will go far
Red and black are the Martian hues of power
My spell begins in this enchanted hour
This Tuesday philter will add valor galore
I am courageous and strong forever more!
Set aside the bottle, and ground and center yourself. Clean up the supplies, then go for a quick walk and firmly reconnect yourself back to the earthly plane. Make sure to store the philter in a dark, dry place and out of the reach of young children.
