Spell For Tuesday – Love and Sweetness Candle Dressing

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

LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one take the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them then go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you then please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals, birds, reptiles, or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.

Love and Sweetness Candle Dressing

Not all candles dressings have to include oil. There are many other creative and meaningful ways to make your herbs stick to your candle, like in this recipe. Instead of using oil, the candle will be coated with maple syrup. As a sugary liquid, maple syrup is associated with sweetness and attraction. If you find it to sticky, try mixing it with a few drops of water to dilute it.

For anointing, you will need:

1/2 teaspoon maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon white sugar

1/2 teaspoon crushed rose petals

1 pinch orris root powder

This dressing can be used on any candles that are burned during love spells, including those surround the place where you do your magical working. If you are doing a spell for attraction using two candles (for example, two candles shaped like human beings bound together), the stickiness of the maple syrup serves to fuse the couple together even further. If you don’t like maple syrup, you can use honey, sugar water, or even a really sweet beverage.

“Indulge your creative, imaginative, and magical side through some form of artistic expression”

Whatever the artist vehicle through which you express your most creative self — whether it’s drawing, poetry, painting, music, acting or any other form of creative expression — make it a priority in your life by devoting some time, energy, and perhaps even money toward this artistic pursuit. Let the longing of your heart determine what the form of your imaginative expression is, but let it be one that elicits passion, and purpose. Allow it to evoke as needed, without acceding to any internal perfectionism about the end product. The process itself is where the magic is. Let that alone be your satisfaction and delight you’ll be pleased with the results.

Whether this avocation continues as a hobby or turns into something you receive compensation for, never do it solely for the money. There’s need to act out the starving artist scenario, but when you make monetary rewards your primary goal, you risk stifling the creative pulse that emanates from the core of who you are, potentially comprising the integrity of your artistic gift to the world. Should you ever be uncertain about following your passion with this kind of expression, take some time to observe children. Notice how innocently and imaginatively the play in their world, particularly when unhindered by social restrictions and artificial boundaries. The is a reflection of the magical child who’s inside you, begging to explore and be expressed. So have fun!

The Rings Rune implies important alliances and agreements.

Drawing this rune can suggest aligning your energies with another toward the successful completion of your goals.

The Rings Rune symbolizes all bonds.

You can look forward to important gatherings soon or the dissolution of joint ventures. Even facing an enemy straight on.

More routinely, this rune will suggest being charmed by the superficial or just going through the motions.

Fearn/Fern

F is for Fearn or Fern, which is associated with the Alder tree. The Alder is representative of the evolving spirit. Connected with the month of March and the spring equinox, Alder is the symbol of Bran in Celtic mythology. In The Mabinogion, Bran laid himself across a river as a bridge so that others might cross–likewise, the Alder bridges that magical space between earth and the heavens. It is also associated with oracular powers–Bran’s head was an oracle in legend.

Alders are often found in swampy, boggy areas, and conveniently, their wood doesn’t rot when it gets wet. In fact, if left to soak in water, it becomes hardened. This came in handy when early Britons were building strongholds in bogs. The city of Venice, Italy, was originally built upon piles of Alder wood. Once it’s dry, though, Alder tends to be less than durable.

Fearn Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Keep in mind that you are an individual… but so is everyone else. When you look at someone, see the unusual which makes them themselves–and allow them to see that uniqueness in you. Be a mediator, a bridge, between people who may be having a disagreement.

Magical Aspects: Follow your instinct. Others will turn to you for advice and counsel during spiritual disagreements, and it’s your job to be the mediator and voice of reason.

Li / Igniting

Fire sparks more Flames:
The Superior Person holds an inner Fire that ignites passion in every heart it touches, until all the world is enlightened and aflame.

With so searing a flame, success will not be denied you.
Take care to be as peaceful and nurturing as the cow in the meadow; you are strong enough to be gentle.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

A Promethean flame is delivering light and heat to the situation at hand.
This radiance will cause such an alchemical transformation of circumstances that the changes will seem magical, miraculous.
Yet they are only shifts of perspective and attitude that bring clarity.
The passions kindled by this fire must be harnessed and used judiciously, or they threaten to consume your hopes and dreams.

All Signs

This week promises social opportunities and exciting romance! Monday is an ideal day to break free from routine and explore new vistas. (At least a new coffee shop.) Monday night is a great date night! Tuesday continues to be friendly and sociable; but Wednesday is crunchy. Oops. Wednesday is tough. Fortunately, Friday sets the tone for a fabulous weekend for romance, socializing, exploring the arts and having fun! Love at first sight can happen on Saturday when Venus is lined up with unpredictable Uranus. And in some cases, this will lead to marriage where two people take turns mashing the trash down in the hopes the other one will cave first and empty the bin.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although this is a fun-loving, sociable week, your primary focus will be on money, cash flow and earnings. Ka-ching! You’ll have moneymaking ideas, and because your ruler fiery Mars is in your sign, this means you won’t be afraid to act on them. Oh yeah! In fact, you have boundless energy this week! By the end of the week, you might receive a windfall or a gift, or you might literally find money. Or you might score something amazing when shopping, perhaps a surprising antique? Expect ways to sweeten your assets and fatten your coffers in a sudden way at the end of the week because this is entirely likely! Keep your eyes open because you might have to look. Be alert.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a lovely, friendly week for you. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are all in your sign, boosting your energy and enthusiasm, which will make you a powerful communicator. Many will be attracted to your optimistic energy. (Enthusiasm is contagious.) This is an excellent week to buy wardrobe goodies. And because something unexpected and fortunate will happen at the end of the week, you might want to shop on Saturday to take advantage of this lucky influence of sudden good fortune. Saturday is also a great day to look for a job or negotiate because unexpected opportunities will bless you. The weekend will be a productive time for you. (Meanwhile, do be aware of the possibility that someone around you does not have your best interests at heart. Keep your eyes open. Trust your hunches.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Although social opportunities abound this week, many of you will choose to play things low-key and enjoy your privacy because this is what you really want to do right now. Basically, this is because your personal year is coming to an end, and before your birthday arrives, you need some time to let the dust settle and think about what you want for your personal new year ahead. Nevertheless, competition with sports or groups or classes might take place for some of you. One thing is certain: with Mars in your 11th House, (something that can occur only once every two years for about six weeks) this is the perfect time to formulate goals for the future! Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Get ready to socialize this week because it will be a popular time for you! Many of you will be active with younger people more than usual, as well as creative and artistic people. You’re also ambitious at this time about achieving your goals, which is why you might attract help from others. This weekend, especially Saturday, something unusual or unexpected will occur that changes things for you. You might meet someone unusual. You might spontaneously join a club or an organization. You might fall in love with someone. In fact, this person might be a friend or a casual acquaintance and suddenly voila! Things are turning romantic! Who knew?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re looking swell this week, dear Leo because four planets are at the top of your chart. Not only will people notice you, they will listen to you. Because of this celestial advantage, this is an excellent time to go after what you want. Push the limits. Demand the advantage. Talk to bosses and authority figures. Make your pitch. (You get the idea.) Meanwhile, grab any chance to get outta Dodge because you need a change of scenery. Oh yes, you want some adventure in your life! You should know that these qualities combined will give you the ability to influence others. In part, this is because you identify with your beliefs now and will defend them with passion!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Life is thrilling for most of you at this time because you’re motivated to do something different. You’re eager to learn, which means many of you are studying or reading or meeting people from different backgrounds so that you can expand your knowledge of the world. Likewise, you’re motivated to travel because you want a change of scenery. You want adventure! You want the thrill of discovery! Because of this strong desire and motivation – you will make these things happen. If you can’t travel far, you can be a tourist in your own neighbourhood. All kinds of exciting, fresh things will be revealed to you. Perhaps even new love because Saturday is a time that is ripe for love at first sight!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re a social sign and this is a sociable week! Nevertheless, you’re dealing with taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances and insurance issues. (These are loose ends you have to work out.) Fortunately, the gods are with you! Gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. And they will surprise you. Therefore, keep your pockets open and hope for the best. Meanwhile, be patient with partners and close friends because fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which makes you irritated with others. Hint: Visualize these feelings of irritation floating up into a little cloud above your head that drifts away and dissolves.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week there are many possibilities for you in terms of close friendships, relationships and partnerships. To begin with, your focus is strong in these areas, and the presence of Venus and Jupiter will ensure smooth relations with others. Everything is hunky-dory. However, this same astrological influence might suddenly provoke new love, unexpected flirtations and sudden introductions that turn into something exciting! With this in mind, look your best when you go out. And if love at first sight doesn’t happen, walk by a second time. Even though you have this strong focus for socializing with others and meeting potential new love, you’re also working hard this week. (You deserve dessert.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

More than any other sign, the phrase “work hard/party hard” applies to you because you love the outdoors, you love animals, you love physical activities and you love to party. And when it comes to work – you’re no slouch. This week typifies your impulses in these areas. You have a strong work ethic to be productive and accomplish as much as possible in an efficient, effective way. And you will do this with unexpected praise, bonuses and perks. Surprise job opportunities might fall in your lap. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is in a playful part of your chart urging you to do exactly what you want. Romance will be passionate and competitive sports will appeal. Awright!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Throughout the year, different parts of your chart are highlighted as the planets move through them. This week there is a handful of planets in the most fun-loving, playful part of your chart. Therefore, accept invitations to socialize and party. Don’t hesitate to express yourself, especially creatively. Enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. And do be aware that for all signs, romance is percolating in the background; however, for you, it’s upfront centre stage! In fact, on Saturday, love at first sight, unexpected flirtations, surprise invitations and other exciting diversions will happen. (However, be careful about sports accidents.) Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home, family and your private life continue to be your primary focus at this time. Fortunately, this is also the same area that will give you pleasure and surprising rewards this week. Bonus! Family discussions and home repairs are likely. You might be involved with a parent more than usual. Redecorating projects will excite you making this is a fabulous week to entertain at home! Meanwhile, by the weekend, especially on Saturday, something unusual and surprising might occur. Stock the fridge because it could be a spontaneous get-together or a surprise party. You might make an unusual purchase that pleases you – something artistic or high tech. Real-estate opportunities might also drop in your lap. Stay tuned!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your busy, fast pace continues this week. However, now life is more upbeat and fun-loving because Mercury will join the Sun, Venus and Jupiter, as well as Uranus in the part of your chart associated with everyday activities, schmoozing with relatives, siblings and neighbours plus, finding opportunities to learn, travel and meet new people and hear new ideas. In a nutshell – this is an exciting week! And by the weekend, something unexpected will surprise you. You might meet someone new and unusual. Sudden romance, especially with someone you already know, might catch you off guard. Meanwhile, you’re working hard to earn money because it’s going out as fast as it comes in. This is a great week to sign up for a course or explore learning opportunities.

Spell For Monday – To Be Free of Something Negative

(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.

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.

As lovers: These lovers are generally attractive to others, as they are adaptable, curious, and friendly. Their wit and love of fun is unmistakable. In order to be happy in love, they need some level of change and variety. They also require mental stimulation. They are quick to adapt to ups and downs, but when under-stimulated, they can be inconsistent and resisting of making commitments.

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.

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.

3 of Coins

This suit, most often named “Coins” or “Pentacles”, is a symbol for a magical talisman that represented wealth or potential. This suit represents something supportive that is available to you — whether it be health, some kind of talent, a material or financial resource.

The Three is traditionally the card of genius. Here we usually see a master craftsman conferring with his masons on the installation of a beautiful stained-glass window in the cathedral. This designer is often likened to Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo, a multi-talented visionary who has no peers in talent or productivity.

The masterwork is being proudly showcased for future generations, as an object of personal and collective pride. On some cards, the genius is portrayed at his studio, alone and burning the midnight oil, in a creative ferment — driven to draw, paint, invent, or whatever work genius wants to bring into creation. As a subtext to the rewards of genius are the days and weeks of intense concentration it takes to solve the problems that great works entail.

Dog

Dog meanings and symbolism include adaptability, family, friendship and affection, loyalty and devotion, patience and perseverance, bravery, protection, sensitivity and insight, purpose, and joy. While it’s arguable when dogs first became domesticated, some historians believe it first happened in northern Eurasia between 14,000 and 29,000 years ago. Historical evidence shows that wolves began following nomadic peoples to eat the leftovers from their hunting expeditions. Fast-forward to today, and dogs are now a part of people’s lives all over the world. So, dog meanings and symbolism, including the spiritual meanings of dogs and the dog spirit animal, are important topics to the many people who adore these special animals.

THE GOD LOKI, SIGNAL RUNE

These Norse runes give power of messaging or warning about the upcoming problem in the person’s life. Additionally, it brings sacred knowledge and means that the person must be blessed. It teaches people to be patient, kind and polite while making every decision and conversation in life. Still, it implies that people must be incredibly patient and careful with the wise ones.

Harvest, completion, initiation

Tree: Grapevine (Vitis spp.)

Letter: M

Harvest time has deep significance and meaning for those willing to pay attention. It is both a time of celebration and fortifying oneself for the long journey ahead. Harvest in the old days was a genuinely special time, because unlike nowadays, winter forced most humans into a period of rest. With the advent of the cheap petroleum age, wintertime has become a time of bustling activity as many of us drive and shop in a frenzy to prepare for holidays, but if you think back to times when there were no lights outside of lanterns and candles when the sun set at 4pm, you can rightfully imagine it wasn’t the busiest time of year! Harvests celebrate the bounty of the summer but also the coming death of a year, which is but a larger celebration of the death of a season, which is a larger celebration of the death of the week (the weekend), which is a larger celebration of the death of a day by having a meal and then going to bed. Death is called The Reaper — when we look at this meaningfully, The Reaper is not such a bad guy. He’s taking care of business for us so we can rest and wake up ready and refreshed for the next life. Of course drawing this Ogham does not mean you or someone else is going to die. Instead, look for the culmination of a phase, project, or a way of being. You have reason to recognize and celebrate a job well done, a graduation, an obstacle overcome, or a subtle shift. The end of a cycle, even if it wasn’t the best one, is worthy of recognition and celebration before we rest and prepare for the next cycle. Decadence is not to be feared — a little decadence after hard work is natural and should be enjoyed.

I Ching

Hexagram Fifty – Two 52

Kên / The Mountain

Above this Mountain’s summit another more majestic rises:
The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now.

Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows.
This is no mistake.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition.
To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you.
To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand.
Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility.
Be. Here. Now.

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.

This is a card of career victory and public acclaim. There may be an award, a certificate, a trophy, or praise for a job well done involved. This card could represent a pay raise, bonus, or promotion for good results in achieving important goal in one’s career or creative project.

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!

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?

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.
