Witch Works: Spells and Rituals for Every Season

Witch Works: Spells and Rituals for Every Season

By Kelly

Happy Halloween! Is it Bedtime Yet?

After a long night of tricks and treats, many a witch will want to settle down for a long winter’s nap. Why
not work a little dream magick while you’re at it?Homemade dream pillows or sachets make very effective,
and very smelly (in a good way!), forms of magick. See what messages you receive when you try this dream
pillow spell for yourself, on Samhain or any night!

Dream Pillow/Sachet Spell for Dream Work

Ingredients:

Equal parts of the following herbs (amount will very depending on whether or not you are making pillows or
sachets, and the size of either):

Catnip
Lavender
Peppermint
Hops
Eucalyptus
Chamomile
Rose Petals
Mugwort

Felt/Fabric – Black and orange for Samhain, or any color you like.
Thread/Ribbon – The color of your choice
Essential Oil – Use one of the scents listed above. I recommend Chamomile, Lavender, or Eucalyptus.

Decide ahead of time if you will be making sachets or dream pillows. The pillows require more work and
materials, so choose wisely. If you are making dream pillows, you will want to pre-cut the material and
stitch the sides closed before casting a circle. Pre-cut your sachet material, but no pre-assembly is
required for the sachets.

Combine all of the herbs together in a large ritual bowl and then cast a circle in your normal manner.
Call on any deities/elements/guardians you feel comfortable with. Bless the herbs and empower them
with your intent. Raise energy, if you like, and run your hands lightly through the herb mixture to further
empower the herbs.

Portion out the sachets on the pre-cut squares or fill the pre-sewn dream pillows. Before closing the
sachet/pillow, place 1 drop of essential oil on the herb mixture. For sachets, draw up the sides of the
cloth and tie with a ribbon, or stitch closed if making the pillow.

Empower the finished sachets/pillow. Finish any magickal business you have and then close the circle. Sleep on your new dream pillow or pin a sachet to your bedclothes. Keep a journal next to your bed to record
your dreams upon waking.

Have a blessed Samhain!

MAKE SOMEONE DREAM OF YOU

MAKE SOMEONE DREAM OF YOU


Do you ever want to get an important message through to someone,
but you just don’t know how to do it? Here is what you do:
Determine precisely what it is you want them to hear, or perhaps feel.
Write down your wish on a piece of paper in simple sentence form.
Make a dream pillow using a small square of fabric and a little batting.
Throw in a pinch of lavender and rosemary. Put in the piece of paper last, then sew up the end.
Put the dream pillow on your altar. Do an altar devotion to center yourself, then create sacred space.
Cast a circle and call the quarters if you like, but is isn’t necessary.
Center yourself, then hold your hands over the dream pillow and say the following:
Holy Mother, Goddess Divine, I stand before your sacred shrine.
This person won’t listen or hear My words tickle at deafened ear.
Holy Mother, Goddess Divine, Send a dream, awaken the mind.
Through his/her vision he/she might live The nightmare/passion/lesson he/she so freely give.
Holy Mother, Goddess Divine Send them your enchanted design
Clear out the cobwebs, tear down walls Carry my message through spirit calls.
Feel free to change the incantation to suit your purpose.

TO KEEP AWAY NIGHTMARES AND BRING PROPHETIC DREAMS

TO KEEP AWAY NIGHTMARES AND BRING PROPHETIC DREAMS

Stitch a small pillow of muslin of another light weight fabric.
create a pillow that is able to be opened by putting Velcro at one end.
This allows you to “refresh” the pillow from time to time with new herbs without having to
unstitch the end or make a new pillow. You may wish to cover muslin pillow with a light
weight, washable “casing” as well. Once you stitch the pillow together, fill with:
4 oz dried lavender flowers 4 oz dried sage
2 oz ground orris root-as a preservative-optional
4 oz deer’s tongue herb 2 oz cedar shavings
4 oz coltsfoot herb 4 oz sweet fern 2 oz violet
Keep dream pillow under or inside of your regular bed pillow. When storing your pillow each
morning you may either leave it where it is or put it inside of a plastic bad by your bed.
Storing it in the bag will help the herbs retain their freshness for a longer period of time.

TO HAVE DREAMS OF THE DECEASED

TO HAVE DREAMS OF THE DECEASED


1 white candle A picture of the deceased A pentagram
Light the white candle and stare at the flame for a few minutes.
Then put the picture at eye level and say:
You are gone forever, But through this spell, My dreams to which you will come.
Place the picture under your pillow.
Let the candle burn to a stub, blow it out, and place it under your pillow also.
Sleep with them under your pillow for three nights to receive the dream you want.

SACHET FOR THE EXPECTANT WITCH

SACHET FOR THE EXPECTANT WITCH

To be used in the bath or as a dream pillow to soothe away the discomforts of pregnancy.
1/2 tablespoon lemon balm 1 teaspoon lemon verbena 3 tablespoons lavender
2 tablespoons rose petals 1 teaspoon mugwort 7 drops of pure jasmine oil
Mix together all of the ingredients in your cauldron or a wooden bowl.
Cut a three-inch square piece of light blue cloth (a natural fiber always works best).
Place some of the herbal mixture in the center and tie up the loose ends with some
matching yarn. While doing this, visualize the discomforts being soothed away.
When you’re ready, either toss it into a warm bath or hide it in the batting of your favorite
pillow (or, if you want it to stay your favorite pillow for very long, put it in your pillowcase)
and you’ve got a special dream pillow. Pleasant dreams!
