(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

To Be Free of Something Negative

Draw an outline of yourself in the soil. Next, over it draw a symbol representing that which you wish to be free of.

Draw this symbol over the image. Gaze at it, see the symbol as part of yourself, as you are now.

Then, with careful strokes, completely erase the symbol with your fingertips. Make sure you don’t damage your original outline, however, if this happens, redraw immediately. Now gaze at the new you, free of the negative aspect and ready to start again with a cleaner slate.

Repeat every day for seven days.

Eight of Wands – Minor Arcana

The Eight of Wands describes eight sticks soaring in the air with dizzying speed. This image shows changes, moves and travels. On the card, the background is very clear, showing that there are very few obstructions in your way and there is a beautiful and peaceful river that brings life to all things which are nearby.

In the movie Ten Commandments, Moses touched his stick into the water to spread the waves. His stick is a symbol of power to initiate events. The stick of Moses evokes the image of those sticks in the Eight of Wands Tarot card. They are the symbol of the beginning of action and the effects as well as consequences of such actions. Before we act, we think, imagine, study, exchange, and delude. This is the place of the element Air which is the sky. We give practical and possible ideas, then turn them into action.

This card also has a different meaning which is the appearance of news or new information. You can see or hear something important. The news may appear as a metaphor, so stay awake and pay attention to everything that happens to you at this time.

This card also implies an end. Sooner or later everything ends. Those eight sticks in this card not only focus on starting the events, but also bringing these events to an end. It seems the sticks in this card are about to fall to the ground. If you see this card in a Tarot spread, this may be the time to stop whatever you are doing. You can celebrate the events that happened, but also prepare to receive new things.

KODA

Grove, convergence, ecosystem, review, crossroads, harmony

Tree: Collection of various trees

Letter: Ch

Koad represents a point on the map of your life and cause to reflect on what got you there as well as where you are headed. Many factors conspired to bring you where you are today. An entire ecosystem exists in and around you that is as unique as a fingerprint. This ecosystem is neither entirely good nor entirely bad, which is why this Ogham and the rest of the Forfedha (Oir, Uilleand, Phagos, and Mor) are too complex to be read as well or ill-dignified. Koad is one particular harmony/dissonance at this point in your life. If your life is going well in some respects, this could mean a feeling of competence and capability or a feeling of love and being loved. If you are in a time of stress, Koad may represent the s**tstorm whirling around you. Or all of the above could be going on at once.
You are here to learn a certain set of unique lessons in this lifetime. There are many roads you can take any given day, and like one of those old Choose Your Own Adventure books, each road has its own outcome. Sometimes two seemingly different roads have the same outcome. Koad indicates a feeling of responsibility and ownership of your decisions, however, other factors you cannot control should be taken into account as well, such as family history, social norms, laws, and the era in which you dwell.

Many people do not realize that orchestral symphonies are major works that are frequently an hour in length. A symphony is an elaborate ABA form (think Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on steroids) with mini-breaks between three sections. If your life is a symphony, imagine Koad as one moment in one measure of a huge programmatic work of music. What harmony have you achieved? Are you in a slow or fast movement?

Hexagram Thirty – Five 35

Chin / Aspiration

The Sun shines down upon the Earth:
Constantly honing and refining his brilliance, the Superior Person is a Godsend to his people.
They repay his benevolence with a herd of horses, and he is granted audience three times in a single day.

Promotion.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is a time of reward for good works.
Those you have helped want to show their gratitude.
Benefits come both from on high and from the humble you uplifted.
Accept all gifts graciously, though the reward may not be what you truly need or hoped for.
Some may bestow more than they can afford to give, but you must realize that they need to feel that they have repaid you.

Three of Wands

This is the bridge that reaches the edge of the world. The lower steps below tempt those who are curious and brave to go there and embark on a dangerous journey. It bent across the sky but then did not go much further. She stood on the borderline and hesitated, and wondered where she was going. The dazzling sunlight overhead made her squint, radiating beneath the shimmering bands of light that stretched along the river, reflecting on the hill in the distance below. Like a crystal with endless energy, slowly rising, it brought with itself the eternal light like all the potential she had, waiting for her from deep within, with every breath, every moment that contains the ability that either discourages or encourages us. Be aware of the hidden potential in all things.

She looked at the wands of the travelers who had first arrived. It could also be that from this position they turn away and leave, just like a threat to what happens to the next ones. She hesitated for a moment, did not look down, and then stepped into the indeterminate place. She felt the strong rocks and clay beneath her feet, then realized the bridge was gradually perfected from the steps and dreams of others. She took a breath and then began to take the first step – just like that, step by step, the bridge accordingly grew below her feet.

Through this, the message that Three of Wands wants to send you is to explore, search for new things, discover and expand to new horizons. Let’s broadcast your vision in all situations and clearly show your leadership.

Keywords related to the Three of Wands Shadowscapes Tarot: first reward, employment, professional development, competitiveness, competence, high standards, expertise, skilled, satisfaction at work, hard work, advancement, recognition, certification, progress, confidence, good start.

WUNJO

Joy, Light

This rune is the fruit-bearing branch. Time of travail is gone and to some extent you have found yourself. The necessary change is now behind, and you are free to receive its blessing, either material or emotional or an increased well-being. Wunjo is a rune of restoration of a harmonious combination of limtting the ego with the higher self. Properly seen, everything is a test. Consciously in the present, honest to the others and with confidence in your way, you should know that you cannot fail.

The Rings

Keywords: Love, relationships.

Meanings: The Rings is the rune of love and again, when it is the leading stone, it is a positive answer to your question. It is very much a rune of relationship and can indicate engagement, marriage or a new/renewed relationship. It can also indicate the need for a fresh approach to an existing relationship.

Saille/Suil

Associated with the willow tree, Saille corresponds to letter S. Willow trees are associated with the moon and water. However, the tree used in the ogham alphabet isn’t the famous weeping willow, but the pussy willow.

Since it’s sacred to the moon, it also embodies the association of imagination, intuition, and instinct, as well as flexibility and flow. Also, it’s regarded as sacred to the Welsh goddess Ceridwen who rules over the moon.

Hexagram 61

Chung Fu / Inner Truth

The gentle Wind ripples the Lake’s surface:
The Superior Person finds common ground between points of contention, wearing away rigid perspectives that would lead to fatal error.

Pigs and fishes.
You may cross to the far shore.
Great fortune if you stay on course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

The subject of this hexagram discovers a key to Tranquility by first gaining insight into his own nature, then turning that vision outward.
By resolving inner conflicts and being at peace with himself, he learns to gain insight into others.
In effect, he enters another, sees with the other’s eyes, listens with the other’s ears, feels with the other’s heart.
He then returns to his own center, with new perspective and understanding.

Two

Harmony is your nickname. You thrive in relationships – with your romantic partner, family, friends, coworkers, or even the salespeople at stores! You talk to everyone, you are down to earth and people love your presence. You are the life of the party! But sometimes, maintaining the peace in a relationship is so important to you that you forget who you are and make sacrifices that aren’t reciprocated. Learn to stand your ground and put your foot down when necessary. In matters of business, 2 is a great number for successful partnerships. If your life path number is 2, or if the digits of a date adds up to the number 2, know that it’s the best energy to enter into business agreements and create projects through teamwork. 2 is a wonderful omen for signing peace agreements between countries, making up for past mistakes between lovers, and to make any past wrongs right.

Ioho

Grace, death, letting go, endings, rest, the beauty of decay

Tree: Yew (Taxus spp.)

Letter: Y

Ioho symbolizes the acceptance of enduring realities and legacies of the past. If you draw Ioho, look for the end of a phase or cycle. Ioho suggests you are handling or will handle the matter at hand with dignity and grace.

Modern culture has spent a great deal of time running away from the ideas of death and decay as natural, welcome processes. As a result, we have a society obsessed with launching our species into space for fear of extinction, a medical industry bent on extending life long after it has ceased to have any quality, and a fixation on youth that motivates the middle aged to undergo brutal, grisly procedures in order to look twenty. When we frame aging (not just of human beings) in a sensible way, we understand that getting old isn’t so terrible. People age and die. Technologies change. Weeks become years. Eras fade away. Letting go is for the best.

Spell For Friday – The Witch’s Friendship Bottle

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

The Witch’s Friendship Bottle Spell 

Wish you could call more like-minded friends into your life? Maybe you live in a town where you feel that no other Wiccans, Pagans, Witches, or Healers live in? Perhaps you’re looking for a very specific new friend who is along the same life-path as you and wants to help solve the problems of the world, just like you do!

If you’ve already checked Witchvox.com to find new Witchy friends, then try a more magickal route; open the path to new friends with our favorite Witch’s bottle spell — The Witch’s Friendship Bottle Spell! This friendship spell has brought numerous Wiccan friends into my life and we’ve remained friends for over a decade!

The best part? You can cast this spell with ingredients from your kitchen!

How To Make The Witch’s Bottle Friendship Spell

Spell timing:

  • Waxing Moon or Full Moon
  • Friday
  • Hour of Venus

Ingredients:

  • Sage or Palo Santo (to energetically cleanse all ingredients)
  • 1 Glass Jar with a lid, sterilized
  • Yellow paper (Yellow is the color of friendship.)
  • 1 Black pen, or your favorite quill and ink
  • Scissors
  • Cauldron or fire-proof bowl, optional
  • Pentacle Plate/Peyton, optional
  • Tiger’s Eye, or 6 Tiger’s Eye pebbles
  • 6 Coriander pods or powder (or any other friendship herbs you’d like)
  • 3 Lemon Slices, sun dried
  • 3 Drops of Preserved Lemon Juice
  • Yellow, Brown, or Pink Candle

Spell Instructions:

  1. Prepare your ritual space: Cleanse yourself with sage or palo santo, and use your favorite circle casting technique. Here is our favorite!
  2. Cleanse and consecrate: Using your sage and palo santo, cleanse each item that will be used in your friendship spell. Visualize each item surrounded with yellow light and know that each ingredient will bring new friends into your life.
  3. Visualize: Place the jar on your pentacle plate or altar, if not using a peyton. Visualize that as it fills, so shall your life fill with new, aligned friendship. Visualize yourself being happy.
  4. Write the traits of your new friend(s): Cut the yellow paper into strips. On each strip, write one exact trait or quality that you want your new friend(s) to have. As you write, say the quality out loud and visualize the friend you make with that quality. Important Note: Do NOT list a specific person. You’re calling the person who will be right and best for you, and it’s not always the person that you THINK you want.
  5. Add the traits to the jar: One at a time, pick up a trait/quality strip, say the trait out loud, visualize the friend you are calling having that trait, light the paper on fire, and let it burn to ash in your cauldron. Continue visualizing as it burns, then dump the ashes into your jar. If you’re not using a cauldron, you can simply fold the paper strip, unfold it to release the magick, and drop it into the jar. Note: If you are calling one friend, fold the paper once. If you’re calling multiple friends, fold the paper the number of times for each friend you’re calling.
  6. Add Lemon Seeds to grow the friendship: Drop in the lemon seeds, one at a time, and say, “Into this bottle, I drop this seed To manifest into my need. I wish that my number of friends will grow, Based on the qualities I’ve placed below. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  7. Add Tiger’s Eye to call only true friendship: Drop the tiger’s eye into the jar and say, “Tiger’s Eye to keep away false friends, And allow me to see the friends who will be loyal ‘til the end. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  8. Add Coriander to invoke the true love of friendship: Drop or sprinkle in the coriander and say, “Coriander to invoke sisterly/brotherly love, Sisterly/brotherly love that my life has been void of. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  9. Add Dried Lemon Slices to promote long-term growth of the friendship from seed: Place the dried lemon slices on top of the contents of the jar and with each addition say, “A lemon slice, the color yellow, Placed into this bottle to show Just how much the fruit called our friendship will grow. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  10. Add Preserved Lemon Juice to preserve the friendship: Drop three drops of preserved lemon juice from the refrigerated bottle into the jar, and say: “Refrigerated lemon juice, meant to preserve, Serve the purpose you were meant to serve. Preserve this friendship, every little drop, Let us remain good friends until time stops. An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  11. Seal the spell: Place the lid on the jar, and using the colored wax, seal it. As you finish sealing the lid, say: “An’ it harm none, so mote it be.”
  12. Visualize and release: Visualize a great friendship while seeing a yellow or pink light around the bottle. Know the spell is done, and it is.

There may have been difficulties that needed to be surmounted to gain success and public recognition for outstanding performance.

Red poppies, for assertiveness, challenges, and support,  are in the victory wreath. A sparrow, a symbol of dignity, assertiveness, loyalty, and manifestation, flies ahead of the rider.

Meaning: Victory in a career or creative enterprise, public recognition, acclaim, job well done, efforts rewarded, goals achieved after difficulties, acknowledgement, honors, advancement,  successful self-expression, career goals achieved, gains from one’s own efforts.

Fehu – “Cattle/Wealth”

The first of the Elder Futhark, Fehu indicates prosperity and material wealth, either won or earned income. It can represent good luck, abundance and financial success in the near future. It can also relate to social success. Not everyone chooses to read a rune as reversed (“merkstave”) if it comes up that way, but if doing so resonates with you- its reversed meaning may indicate the loss of personal possessions or income, a dip in self-esteem or some other kind of struggles. In Tarot, this could be seen as The Tower card.

KEYWORDS: Abundance, luck, hope, prosperity

Witches’ Runes

Trinity

Triple goddess, life/death/rebirth, trinity, love – romance

Some people read this witches rune as a flower – new life, birth, fertility, love. I tend to read it more like the triquetra – life/death/rebirth cycles, triple goddess, etc. It’s completely up to you how YOU interpret these!

Ogham

Onn-Gorse

While it also may have thorns, Gorse is known for a vibrant yellow flower that can last almost year round. For this reason this plant has become a symbol of vitality. It may be hardy and have some thorns but it protects wildlife and shines bright for everyone to see. When you draw this letter keep in mind optimism, positivity, and vigor. With Onn you will prevail as long as you keep your flower in bloom!

Fortune – This Ogham tells you that you will prevail! Stay happy and optimistic and everything you seek will turn out great!

Hexagram Seventeen-17

Sui / Following

Thunder beneath the Lake’s surface.
The Superior Person allows himself plenty of sheltered rest and recuperation while awaiting a clear sign to follow.

Supreme success.
No mistakes if you keep to your course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Thunder from the Lake — the lulling, rhythmic roar of the faithful tide, eternally wearing away the stone of the shoreline, forever obedient to the phases of the moon.
The pull of the moon on the tide is the Following called for now.
As mighty as the tide is in its own right, it is ever the puppet of the invisible, irresistible gravity of the moon.
What cyclical forces pull you along?
Are you futilely attempting to resist a natural attraction?

Numerology

Seventeen

It is spiritual growth, faith, and balance. It is also wealth or bankruptcy. It is an inner struggle to remain true to spiritual and moral values, while at the same time dedicating itself to the material world – one of the most conflicting numbers.

Seventeen

In your thinking you are taking the right path. All is according to your plans and wishes. Very good reason to keep optimistic. This powerful and sacred number represents the Holy Trinity and pyramids.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Witch Trials in the 21st Century

The most famous witch trial in history happened in Salem, Massachusetts, during the winter and spring of 1692-1693. When it was all over, 141 suspects, both men and women, were tried as witches. Nineteen were executed by hanging. One was pressed to death by heavy stones.

However, witch trials are not a thing of the past. Indeed, charges of witchcraft and trials of suspected witches are increasing.

Witchcraft

The word witchcraft has good and bad meanings in different cultures around the world. A general definition of witchcraft is the changing of everyday events using supernatural or magical forces.

Witchcraft is usually associated with the power of nature, such as medicinal and poisonous plants, or rains and floods. People accused of witchcraft are said to be able to control natural events such as storms or droughts.

So-called “witch doctors” use combinations of plants and animals, as well as spirituality or supernatural ability, to treat medical conditions. These “witch doctors” are not accused of being witches themselves—they heal illnesses and ailments blamed on witchcraft. “Witch doctor” is often a derogatory term for a traditional healer. Traditional healers, who rely on ancient remedies, are not witch doctors.

Unlike traditional healers, witch doctors use spells. Spells are words or phrases that are suspected of having magical powers. Casting a spell to be wealthy or lucky in love is an example of witchcraft.

Anxiety Be Gone: Purple Candle Spell

Recipe by Megan Black

Try this easy ‘Anxiety Be Gone!’ Spell to quickly banish anxiety and boost your confidence. All you need is a purple candle and your intentions!

INGREDIENTS

  • Purple Candle

DIRECTIONS

  • Create your sacred space in your usual way. You may choose to cast a circle, as well.
  • Hold your unlit purple candle in your hand and close your eyes. Let your anxiety and stress flow from your hands and into your candle.
  • Now, take three deep, cleansing breaths. As you inhale, envision a white light flowing through you. This white light is full of peace, calm, and positivity. As you exhale, envision a murky gray leaving you. This is your stress, anxiety, and negativity.
  • Open your eyes and place your candle on your altar. Then, take your match or lighter and light your candle.
  • Gently gaze at your candle flame and say the following:By the gentle glow of this candle’s light,
    I banish anxiety into the night.
    With the candle’s flame and magic’s grace,
    I find serenity in this sacred space.

    With every flicker, let peace arise,
    As I chant these words to the skies.
    Anxiety, you shall now depart,
    From the depths of my soul and my heart.

    In the name of peace and inner calm,
    I banish anxiety with this balm.
    Anxiety be gone by the candle’s gleam,
    As I will it, so mote it be!

  • Close your eyes and spend a few moments in quiet reflection, allowing the spell to do the work. Take several deep breaths, letting the anxiety and negativity flow from you like water down a stream.
  • If it is safe to do so, let the candle burn all the way out. Then dispose of the remains in the trash. If you can’t let the candle burn all the way down, extinguish the flame and light it again if you repeat the spell.

Friday Source: groveandgrotto.com

Friday is ruled by Venus, and that can only mean one thing: Love magick!  Friday is the traditional day to do love-drawing magic, or cast a spell to bring your lover closer. Besides sexual attraction, spells of friendship, sympathy, reconciliation and self-love fall under Friday’s love-magick heading.  Because Venus is closely connected to the natural world, it’s also a good day to harvest plants and herbs for magical uses. Also on Friday:  Do mirror magick. Make baths, potions, and philtres.  Weave glamours and enchantments. Craft workings for pleasure, enjoyment, and intoxication.

Friday Source: otherworldlyoracle.com

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card 

The Hermit

The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can both learn and teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy rapidly. To avoid mental and physical overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.

Your Personal Daily Love Tarot Card

The Fool

You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.

Your Personal Daily Erotic Tarot Card

The Judgement

The Judgement card indicates that you’ve had some sexual hang-ups in the past, but you’re working toward getting over them. This is a period of transition, and although you’re doing the work, you may not be getting the exact results you desire. Forgive yourself for past missteps in order to take a sexual step forward today. Being afraid to express your true erotic self can even effect other areas of your life, so getting beyond your sexual inhibitions translates into a happier overall existence.
