SPELL TO OBTAIN MONEY

Done During the Full Moon
Fill your cauldron half full of water and drop a silver coin into it.
Position the cauldron so that the light from the moon shines into the water.
Gently sweep your hands just above the surface, symbolically gathering the Moon’s silver.
While doing this say:

Lovely Lady of the Moon, bring to me your
wealth right soon. Fill my hands with silver and gold.
All you give, my purse can hold.”

Repeat this three times. When finished, pour the water upon the earth.

Life As The Witch – Using Imagery In Your Magick

Witchy Comments~Magickal Graphics~

Life As The Witch

The Use of Imagery In Your Magick

The success of any work you may do depends on images created by the mind.

This is where the imagination enters into the formula. Anything that serves to intensify the emotions will contribute to success of your spell working. Any drawing, statue, photo, scent, article of clothing, sound, or situation that helps to merge you with your desire will greatly add to your success. Imagery is a constant reminder of what you wish to attract or accomplish. It acts as a homing device in its role as a representation of the object, person or situation for which the spell is intended. Imagery can be shaped and directed all according to the will of the Practitioner without detracting from focusing the mind on the spell’s intent. This becomes the pattern or formula that leads to realization of desire. Surround yourself with images you desire and you will resonate the vibrations that will attract the thing you desire.

Breaking A Curse

Breaking A Curse

 

Components:

Square of black cloth

Tablespoon of Curry

Tablespoon of Dill

Tablespoon of Vervain

Tablespoon of Powdered Ginger

Consecrated Black Candle

Paper

Black Ink

Black string, knotted nine times

Instructions:

On the first night of the waxing moon, gather the following ingredients:

A square of black cloth a little larger than your hand

1 tablespoon of curry

1 tablespoon of dill

1 tablespoon of vervain

1 tablespoon powdered ginger

1 consecrated black candle

Paper and black ink pen

1 black string, knotted nine times

On paper, write the full name and birthdate (if known) of the person who has cursed you. Place the paper in the center of the bag. One at a time, add the herbs, covering the slip of paper. Next, take the lit candle and drip 5 – 10 drops of wax over the paper and herbs.

Visualize the person who has cursed you and say their name aloud three times while tying the bag shut with the knotted string. The final step is to bury the bag someplace on the property of the person who cursed you. The bag must remain there undisturbed until the next Waxing Moon. At that time, dig up the bag and burn the contents. This will weaken that person’s power (usually until the night of the Full Moon) and the curse.

This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

The Witches Spell for December 18th: Morning Ritual To Get Back In Touch With The Elements

Morning Ritual

This ritual can be used to get back in touch with the elements. Have a representation of each element around you.

Go outside if possible, face North and say:

“Good morning Spirits of the North.
I am successful
The cornucopia showers blessings into my life.”
 

Stand for a moment and let the energy of the Earth pour into your body and soul.

Turn to the East and say:

“Good morning Spirits of the East
I am creative
I am the spirit of the wind
My mind soars to other realms and back again.”
 

Turn to the South and say:

“Good morning Spirits of the South
I am passionate
I am the glow of the flame and lava
I magnetize and inflame the senses as I heal.”
 

Turn to the West and say:

“Good morning Spirits of the West.
I am beautiful
My blood contains the tears of the Mother
I am joy and hidden depths transcend from the Moon.
 

Look to the Sky and say:

“Good morning Spirits of Spirit I am balance
My body, mind, and spirits are in harmony
I stand in the center of my web, weaving.
Good morning Lord and Lady
I am your son/daughter/child
Guide me and guard me throughout this and every day.”
Blessed Be!
 

Stand for a moment and feel yourself coming to a place of balance. When you are ready salute and begin your day. You don’t need to cast a circle and this takes about 10 minutes.
